After finishing the prayer, Kagendra returned to his room and saw Natasha sitting on the sofa.
“You've eaten?” ask Kagendra coldly.
“Not yet. I want to eat with you. We ate at my favorite restaurant only.”
“I've eaten.”
“But I haven't eaten yet, baby. I want her to eat together with you.” Natasha sulk.
“Message meal delivery only. Book from a restaurant near here.”
“I want to eat at my favorite restaurant. Your time won't take me.”
“Still a lot of work. You don't see the files that mount on my desk.” Kagendra said in a slightly high tone.
“Kan you can ask your secretary who is like a personal assistant to help clean up your work.” persuaded Natasha.
“Cannot. I myself must check it.” keukeuh Kagendra.
Natasha did not accept the reason given by Kagendra because earlier she had seen Kagendra who was busy replying to Sadiyah message even though the work files were mountainous. Natasha hates seeing that fact so she doesn't accept Kagendra's excuse for not being able to accompany her to lunch.
“Ya I've gone alone.” Natasha stomped her feet and walked out of Kagendra's room and slammed the door hard.
Kagendra sighed harshly and continued her work.
Towards magrib, Kagendra had just finished finishing half of the pile of files on his desk.
***********
I came home after Isha. What do you want to buy?
Kagendra sent a message to Sadiyah.
Do not buy food outside. Iyah already cooked.
Although not feeling well, Sadiyah forced herself to cook Kagendra's favorite food.
Cook what?
Plump eggs.
Not want.
Egg omelette. Wantsome?
I buy it instead of being told to eat the same egg or omelet only.
Kidding, A. Iyah has prepared kwetiau fried seafood favorite Aa. But cook it later if Aa is at home so it is delicious to eat is still warm.
Kagendra sends the love icon.
Sadiyah replied to him by sending me kiss and hug icons.
Kagendra's smile broke after seeing the hugging and kiss icon sent by Sadiyah.
After replying to Sadiyah, Kagendra immediately turned off his phone and continued his work.
At 8 p.m., Kagendra arrived at his house. He called Sadiyah because he did not see her in the living room or in their room.
“Daddy….Iyah...are you where?”
“Here, A.” Sadiyah shouted from the library to answer Kagendra's call.
“I guess where you are.” said Kagendra sounding anxious.
“Where is A?”
“Yes you may have escaped.” joked Kagendra.
Sadiyah laughed at Kagendra's reply.
“Aa want to eat now?”
“I want to shower first.” Kagendra went up to his room.
Sadiyah started to include seasonings and fried kwetiaw ingredients. Sadiyah finished cooking only 20 minutes because the spices and ingredients had been prepared from afternoon.
“Aa why not answer Iyah's message?” sadiyah asked after Kagendra sat in front of her at the dinner table.
“My phone turned off.”
Kagendra began to spoon Sadiyah's kwetiaw into his mouth.
“Enak, A?” asked Sadiyah while looking at the face of Kagendra who was greedily spending his kwetiaw.
“Hmmm..”
“The answer time is just hmm only.” protest Sadiyah.
“What kind of answer do you want?”
“Ya just answer honestly. If it's good to say good if it's not good to say it's not good.” suluk Sadiyah.
“If I finish the food it means the food is good.” replied Kagendra while bribing his last feed.
“Enak only or really good?”
Kagendra did not answer Sadiyah's question.
“Jawab Aa!!” yelled Sadiyah Kesal.
“No need to shout. I heard what you said.”
“Ya endless Aa does not answer.”
“Indeed your question is so important that I have to answer it immediately?”
“Itsportant. The importance of wear really.” exclaimed Sadiyah.
“If I spend the food you make more than once means the food is delicious.” replied Kagendra after sipping his ginger drink.
“Just answer once is delicious but must muter-muter first. Strange man.” said Sadiyah origin.
“Do not design your own husband.” Kagendra.
“Who does?” sadiyah sewot.
“That's who said that I'm a freak?”
Sadiyah replied with a laugh.
Kagendra smiled looking at Sadiyah who was laughing loosely.
“We sleep yuk.” invite Kagendra.
“Eating do not directly sleep Aa. It is not healthy make many diseases.” Sadiyah reminded.
“We exercise first before bed.” Kagendra said it in a flat tone.
“Sports has been this night. Don't want to ah, Iyah is still less fit. Tomorrow's the sport. Tomorrow morning if Iyah's body is a little good, want to join the morning run with Aa. But breakfast buy it yes.”
“Now just exercise, let it be healthy again.”
Sadiyah passed leaving Kagendra who continued to invite him to exercise.
“Have known that Iyah is not fit. This is even a night sport. Sport what are the nights like this.” Sadiyah's nagging with low voice.
Suddenly Kagendra held Sadiyah who was about to sit on the sofa in the middle room.
“Eh. Ngapain gendong-gendong Iyah all. Quick descending!” Iyah thrashed trying to break away from Kagendra.
“We sport the night.” whispered Kagendra in Sadiyah's ear which immediately made Sadiyah cheek blush because it just realized the purpose of the Kagendra version of night sports.
“Iiiiiih Aa flirty..” Sadiyah wrapped her hands around Kagendra's neck.
“It's okay if flirty same wife herself.”
That night they both knit the beauty of love together. The world belongs to only the two of them.
