“Aa said wait. Don't enter this room first. Get out first, later you smoke cigarettes.” Kagendra pushed Sadiyah's body out of the room.
Sadiyah grabbed the broom from Kagendra's hand, then began to clean the cigarette butts scattered about.
“Have a Love. Let it be cleaned tomorrow.” Kagendra attempted to seize the broom that Sadiyah was using.
“Now only. Iyah sure Aa will not be able to sleep if you remember there are still dirty in the room Aa.” Sadiyah was very familiar with Kagendra's clean habits.
“You wait outside only, let Aa clean up. Don't stay in this room too long. The air is full of cigarette smoke. You are breastfeeding.” Kagendra took the broom from Sadiyah's hand.
“If you know smoking is unhealthy, why does Aa smoke? Look at that former butt until it's scattered like that. How many packs, huh?”
“Quick out! Wait in the room?” Kagendra pushed Sadiyah's body out of her room.
After closing the door of his room, Kagendra quickly swept the cigarette butts clean and closed the door tightly before exiting. He handed his room air purifier to the air purifier.
Upon entering the room, Kagendra saw Sadiyah sitting on the side of the bed while crossing her arms. Of course Sadiyah's sharp gaze welcomed Kagendra's arrival.
Waitaminute! Aa shower first.” Kagendra rushed to the bathroom to clean his body of cigarette smoke residue that may still be stuck to both his body and clothes.
30 Minutes later, Kagendra came out of the bathroom wearing his bathrobe.
“Sorry!” Kagendra touched Sadiyah's shoulder lying behind her. “Have you slept?”
“Why was the bath so long?” asked Sadiyah annoyed. For more than half an hour, Sadiyah waited for Kagendra to come out of the bathroom. “Ngapain only in the bathroom? Stretch?” tanyanya cynic.
“Aa add the duration of the bath to be clean.”
“Why?”
“Ya.. because.. hm.. let it be clean and no residual cigarette smoke,” replied Kagendra awkwardly. He felt like a student who was caught smoking by his teacher.
“Not that question Iyah.”
“Then what is the question? You asked me the reason why Aa took a long shower. You will know for yourself that Aa took a long bath,” explained Kagendra.
“Yang Iyah ask not that. It doesn't matter if I take a shower or two hours. Who wants to ask why Aa smokes?”
“So you didn't ask that. Where Aa knows you asked that.”
“Ya. Now just answer the question Iyah!”sadiyah said a little snarling. Ah, just now she was about to apologize to her husband, but her frustration re-emerged due to cigarette problems. Sadiyah never knew that Kagendra smoked. During his marriage to Kagendra, he never once saw Kagendra holding a cigarette and smelling tobacco smoke from her clothes.
“It...because..” Kagendra coughed to smooth his choked throat.
“That's a cough. Already know smoking is not healthy but still done,” accuse Sadiyah.
“Not so.. sorry,”
“For what apologies?”
“Because Aa smokes,” replied Kagendra awkwardly. He was completely unable to answer Sadiyah's question about why he smoked. He has not smoked for a long time. He used to be a heavy smoker in high school and college. He tried to stop and finally completely stopped a few years before meeting Sadiyah.
Sadiyah pulled Kagendra's hand to sit next to her. Sadiyah's hand caressed Kagendra's face.
“Daddy apologise.”
“Eh? Why?”
“You are not wrong. It is natural that you are sad and angry with Aa. If only Aa had never known Natasha.”.
“Sttt... do not mention the name of the Woman in front of Iyah! Iyah do not like. Some if not because of the behavior of the woman, maybe Aa will not be heartbroken to continue to accept the woman Aki offered to be Aa's wife. Yes, right?”
“Betul. Aa was very grateful to receive the matchmaking Aki offered. Maybe if she doesn't leave Aa, we're married, but an unhappy marriage.”
“Kok said so?”
“If the woman is not you, maybe Aa will not be happy,” said Kagendra a little flirting.
“Halah, now you can say this. Early on we got married, Aa really hated the same Iyah, right?”
“Gak. Aa never hate people for no reason.”
“Buktinya first Aa always be rude with Iyah,” said Sadiyah upset when remembering her dark past at the beginning of their marriage.
“That's because Aa doesn't like to be betrothed, especially Aa still expects Nata... uh that woman to come back.”
“Be careful if Aa still expects that woman!” threaten Sadiyah.
“For what to expect other women when there is an angel from heaven is in the deckapan.” Kagendra is increasingly launching his fights.
“Why does Aa like this stuff? Weird.”
“Don't like to have your own husband, huh?”
“Like not self Aa only.”
“Male could have changed for the woman he loves.”
“That's dreadful again,” exclaimed Sadiyah while pinching Kagendra's arm.
“Yang just said Aa is not a fight but the truth. You can feel it, right? How Aa changed after loving you.”
“Hm. Aa used to be fierce now not too fierce anymore. It used to be cold to lose the cold of the refrigerator, but now it is so warm as iron.”
Hearing Sadiyah who could throw jokes made Kagendra's heart relieved. He believes Sadiyah has been able to escape from the emotions that bind him.
“Thank you,” said Kagendra while kissing Sadiyah's forehead. “Because it has returned to being Sadiyah whom Aa loved.”
“Oh, so Aa is not in love with Sadiyah who was yesterday, huh?”
It seems Sadiyah misrespected Kagendra's statement.
“Kagendra loves Sadiyah in various shapes, sizes, and properties.”
“Sadiyah also loves Kagendra now and later.”
The night became a sad night for them to restore their relationship after a while of deterioration.
