I'm Not a Choice.
just slow.

Time passes by so quickly from minute to hour, hour to day, day to Sunday and Sunday to month. All through Icha and Riyadh, full of determination, he said, where Riyadh with determination and patience faced and sought the healing of Icha and Icha with the determination to recover because of the encouragement of those closest to him and the help of Amanda.

Although it is not something instant, but every process has little good results. Like now for example, after three months of therapy with Amanda, the woman slowly began to improve. His body was no longer as shaky as it used to be when he was in the crowd. He hardly ever visited a movie theater after the incident. Now you can visit the place, although it still has to be accompanied. Not only that, he began to reply to the greetings of neighbors by smiling kindly to them.

Even he can already shop in a mini market not far from his home alone, something Icha has never done before. Because the father always meets his needs and lets him stay in his comfort zone.

It's just that the woman still needs more time to completely heal completely. Because sometimes he is still awake at night and still often nightmares. Interaction with Riyadh was still limited to handrails and gentle strokes on the woman's head. But their distance gradually began to erode, Like this moment for example.

"Darling what are you cooking today?" Asked Riyadh, the man had just returned from work and went straight to Icha in the kitchen, because he knew at this hour Icha would spend time cooking their dinner, then after that. He will do his work and duties in the family room in the company of Riyadh.

" Today I want to eat this, don't papa right?" Say Icha while pointing to the menu that he has prepared.the menu is not as usual. Where there are special side dishes according to the taste of Iyad.

" Whatever you make, I'll eat." Sahut Iyad while stroking the head of Icha, As usual," Yes! let's eat." Invite Riyadh to make the woman frown.

"No need to shower first. Usually take a shower first, then we'll have dinner together." Ask Icha, because usually her husband will take a shower first they have dinner together.

" Later on, baby, I'm hungry, because I didn't have lunch. Can you?" Icha hesitantly nodded her head..

After getting a nod of the head from Icha, Riyadh headed straight for the sink to wash his hands, after handing over the briefcase and suit and tie he had released to Icha, to be under to the room and stored into their respective places.

After that he returned to the dining room to eat with Riyadh. The woman served her role as a wife well, unlike her early days where Riyadh served. Because now it's the man Icha serves, at the dinner table, like scooping rice and side dishes to the plate Iyad, simple things but Icha can already do, what an accomplishment it is to remember three months before what he was like.

" Tonight, Nadia and Eva are going, right here?" Ask Riyadh, on the sidelines of their dinner.

" Yes, maybe soon they'll come." Answer Icha.

" Thank God, then, I'm so worried about leaving you alone at home." Riyadh. Tonight, the man will return to his parents' house, at Megan's request, because if not his mother and Nadine will continue to come to him at the office. Until Riyadh wants to go home, if he still does not want to, at least he took Nadine as his wife to live with him because as a husband and wife they should have lived together. .

That's why he agreed to the desire of his mother, to return home twice a week, Mega initially refused it but Riyadh was quite firm in making a decision this time. ' Two times a week I go home or not at all and do not blame me if I divorce her, if mom and she still interfere with my work time.' That's Riyadh's threat to Megan, her mother and Nadine's other wives. Since then, Riyadh has been returning to his parents' house twice a week, as promised.

Because they just keep going to the office! And make trouble there. Actually Ria wanted to ignore the two of them but she was afraid, Mimi or Eva knew about it. Given they have cooperation and the two women always go to the company to discuss the design and the results of their work.

" I'm not papa. I wasn't ready to meet your mom, either. Don't force me to go there. I'm not scared." Sahut Icha makes Riyadh feel more guilty, how not he has deliberately used the condition of his wife to cover up his relationship with Nadine.

" I'm sorry." Riyadh said with guilt.

Icha raised his gaze and focused on Riyadh for a moment, before looking down again. " Don't apologize, I should be the one apologizing for not being ready to see your parents, and I don't know when I'm ready to meet them either. Sorry you shouldn't marry ak_"

" Dear, don't talk like that. I never regret marrying you, I hope you don't regret this marriage either." As long as Icha is done with her words." We go all slow, don't push it too hard."Said Riyadh again, while Icha only nodded in doubt. After that there was no more chatter between them, Only silence until the dinner was over.

After dinner, Riyadh went straight back to the bathroom to take a shower, while Icha washed the dishes.

As soon as she was done, the woman sat in the living room, to continue her work which had been delayed, as she had to prepare their dinner.

An hour later, Riyadh had prepared to return home and but the man did not leave immediately he sat on the living room couch, looking at Icha who was focused on her work.

" Why not go yet." Icha asked without looking at her husband.

" Nungguin Nadia and Eva come first baby." Reply Riyadh. " I can't leave you alone."

"Go away, I'm not papa kok send_" Icha has not had time to finish his speech, the sound of the house bell has sounded.

" That they already exist! Let me open the door." Said the man, without waiting for Icha's answer, the man immediately moved from his seat opening the door for his guest. And as per Riyadh's guess, Eva and Nadia were the ones who came. " Because you've come, I'm staying. Nad, va, tipped Icha." Pamit Iyad's. Then left them as soon as they got the nod of the heads of the three women.
