I Found Love With You
22. Thumped

One month already, Sadiyah is running her new life with Kagendra who is walking safely and sentosa. During this one month, Sadiyah increasingly diligently watched cooking shows on youtube and immediately practiced them. Grateful, Kagendra always spent the cuisine made by Sadiyah which signifies that Kagendra is increasingly addicted to the taste of cuisine from his wife.

This morning, Sadiyah fell asleep again after the morning prayer, it seems she was too exhausted because she slept late to prepare and conceptualize her business development plan that will be developed in the city where she lives now. Because the city he occupies now is a megapolitan city that is much wider and larger than the city he used to live in, the concept of business development must be planned as well as possible. With so many competitors in this city, of course Sadiyah and her team have to work hard so that the products can be received well.

“Aa, sorry, I did not have time to cook for breakfast Aa.” Sadiyah had just woken up when Kagendra walked into her room after finishing her routine morning run.

“Prepare for breakfast as usual.” said Kagendra while carrying a towel and into the bathroom.

Before Sadiyah came out of the room, she prepared a full work outfit from the interior to the Kagendra suit. After finishing preparing Kagendra's clothes, Sadiyah immediately rushed towards the kitchen to make breakfast.

Unfortunately for Sadiyah, when she saw the contents of the refrigerator that was empty, her heart slipped. The egg remains only one egg. Sadiyah rarely buys bread because Kagendra prefers breakfast with rice over breakfast with bread.

“I have to make what is this for breakfast A Endra?” Sadie thought hard.

Sadiyah recalled that on the lower floor of the building there is a minimarket that is open 24 hours. Immediately she put on her hijab and cardigan, then she took the money in her wallet and darted straight to the minimarket to buy anything that could be cooked to make breakfast.

Luckily, in minimarket sell triangle-shaped gimbap, rice with tuna fish filling. Sadiyah immediately grabbed the two triangular-shaped gimbab, quickly paid for it and darted running in full force back towards her unit and hoped her husband had not finished his bath.

Sadiyah arrived at her unit with bad breath. Luckily Kagendra was still in his old room. After living together for more than a month, Sadiyah already knows many habits Kagendra one of which is a bath with a long duration of time. If Sadiyah only needs a bath for ten minutes at most, Kagendra takes no less than 20 minutes and sometimes more. Sadiyah was sometimes confused, what was done by her husband to linger in the bathroom.

Sadiyah still had time to make coffee Kagendra and fry eggs ceplok to increase protein levels in the breakfast menu.

“Uh, why not buy eggs. This is an egg lived a gini. What if later A Endra protest only given eggs one doang. Ah bodo very deh, this also must be grateful there are still those who want to make him breakfast” rutuk Sadiyah.

A glass of unsweetened coffee, two triangular gimbab and one egg are ready for Kagendra to eat.

Shortly after Sadiyah finished moving her homemade egg into the dish, Kagendra came out of her room, as usual appearing brilliant and dashing in an old ash suit, combined with matching tie color. Kagendra's appearance like this makes the hearts of many girls, especially women workers in his company beat faster when they cross paths with him. No exception with Sadiyah who for one month had to withstand the pounding in her chest every time she saw Kagendra with a fresh look like this morning.

Kagendra sat facing the bar table and looked at the breakfast menu this morning in contrast to the previous breakfast menus.

“You're not cooking?” ask Kagendra to Sadiyah who was washing the used catfish frying eggs ceplok. He felt a little disappointed because this morning he could not enjoy his wife's cooking. It seems Kagendra is already very addicted to Sadiyah cuisine that feels good and fits on his tongue.

“Sorry, A. I didn't have time to cook. The ingredients are also finished. This is also one egg only.” Sadiyah quickly finished washing her bed and sat down in front of Kagendra.

“Other times, you check the contents in the refrigerator. If it is empty, you can quickly shop. I gave him money at the beginning of the month. I think 10 million is enough to spend for one month.”, Kagendra said as he unfolded his gimbab.

“Iya A. is quite enough. It's just that this is my carelessness because I don't check the contents of the refrigerator. This morning I went to the market. I want to ask you what for lunch. Iyah uh I promise you later will masakin favorite food Aa. Want teriyaki chicken and sapo to know?” ask Sadiyah.

“Bored. Two days ago you cooked it.” replied Kagendra.

“What do you want dong?” ask Sadiyah again.

Kagendra seemed to think about choosing his lunch menu later

“You make kwetiaw seafood only.” replied Kagendra after thinking for a long time. He remembered that he really liked the taste of his wife's fried kwetiaw. It tastes just as good as the kwetiaw flavor that he often eats at Solar*a. Even Kagendra felt that the fried kwetiaw made by his wife was more special compared to those sold in restaurants because Sadiyah added more chicken dice and seafood than those served by the famous restaurant.

“Ready, Boss.” Sadiyah replied excitedly as she held her right hand up in the air, a sign she was excited to make her husband's favorite menu.

“Banyakin vegetable, chicken and udangnya.” pinta Kagendra.

Kagendra smiled at the edges of his lips to see what Sadiyah was doing.

Kagendra's smile immediately warmed Sadiyah's heart. His heart was increasingly acting to make his chest feel tight and he turned his face away from Kagendra's gaze which seemed to penetrate directly into his heart to hide a red tinge that might be apparent on his white cheeks.

“Yes Allah, my husband is very handsome. His gaze felt straight into the heart. I think I love him.” Sadiyah's heart blossoms.

“I go to work first.” Kagendra got out of his seat after finishing the last drop of his coffee.

“Iya A.” Sadiyah stood up from her seat and led Kagendra to the front door. He then kissed the back of Kagendra's hand with reverence. Habits like this that adorn the atmosphere every morning for one month.

Every time Sadiyah kissed the back of her hand, Kagendra felt a very strong urge from inside her heart to kiss Sadiyah's forehead. But his sense of prestige always overcame that desire of his heart. Not so this morning. His heart's desire won the fight against his sense of prestige. This morning, Kagendra brought his lips closer to the top of Sadiyah's head and consciously kissed her on the top.

“Eh...” Sadiyah gasped in shock feeling the kiss of Kagendra's lips on the top of her head. She looked up her head to her husband's face.

Kagendra was transfixed to see Sadiyah's innocent face staring at her face with a shocked expression. He could not bear to kiss the natural pink lips of the woman in front of him who seemed to invite Kagendra's lips to greet gently.

Cup….

Kagendra kissed Sadiyah's forehead which successfully made Sadiyah's heart pounding very brightly and certainly a red tinge adorned Sadiyah's face.

“I leave. Assalamu’alaikum.” said Kagendra fast because he also felt the strange heartbeat of his heart after peeping Sadiyah.

“Wa’alaikumsalam.” sahut Sadiyah says. After the door closed, Sadiyah squeezed her left da-da which was getting weird, her body was decaying like boneless.

“Astaghfirulloh. I’m scared. I think I really love him. What if this love is not reciprocated.” Sadiyah felt a bit of fear with this feeling.

“Ah bodo. Everyone is entitled to fall in love.” after convincing his heart, Sadiyah immediately took a shower to shop at the market. His heart was glad not to think he would cook Kagendra's favorite food.

The clock shows the number nine when he returned to his apartment unit after an hour of shopping at a traditional market that was not too far from his apartment building.

While waiting for cooking time, Sadiyah continued the concept design for the development of her business. Sadiyah had just finished reading a report from Gita, her underclassman during college which she believed was to run her small company in her hometown. He gave thanks after knowing that his efforts were growing. To start his business development in the city where he lives now, almost every day Sadiyah coordinates with Gita and Reza in preparation for the development of his business.

Not feel the time as if propagating quickly, the short hand of the clock has been pointed towards the number 10 and the long needle is almost close to the number six.

“Astagfirstulloh, it's half eleven, I haven't cooked for lunch A Endra.” Sadiyah was shocked to learn that she was too absorbed in her work and almost forgot her obligation to make lunch for her husband. Luckily this morning Kagendra only asked to make one kind of menu only so that it does not spend too much time.

Sadiyah immediately struggled in the kitchen and with full energy she cooked Kagendra's favorite food. She knew this food to be Kagendra's favorite food because her husband several times asked Sadiyah to cook the menu to him. During this one month, Sadiyah every day made lunch and delivered it directly to Kagendra's office which can be reached by walking for 15 minutes.

After successfully completing his cooking job within an hour, Sadiyah immediately changed her clothes to prepare to deliver lunch for Kagendra.

At half-twelfth, Sadiyah had already started walking towards the office where her husband worked. Today, Sadiyah wears casual clothes in the form of old gray tunic shirts combined with jeans that are not tight, plus a young gray headscarf that further beautifies the look.

Arriving at the door of Kagendra's room, Sadiyah did not see her husband's secretary who was usually always present to greet her when she was going to give lunch. Unsuspecting, Sadiyah immediately opened the door of Kagendra's room.

“Assalamu’alaikum..” greet Sadiyah without knocking on the door first.

“Astaghfirulloh Sadiyah was transfixed to see the scene happening before her eyes.
