Istikharah
JI 2 - Romantic Night

It's late at night. Leon can't sleep yet. He looked to the side, his wife and children asleep. His third stomach went up and down with a slope.

Leon rubbed Arini's cheek gently. He kissed his wife for a long time. "I'm going to the balcony, honey" he whispered.

Leon then sat on the balcony while enjoying the night view. He sat on the balcony of his room with an empty eye. He lifted his feet up on the chair.

The sounds of crickets and other nightly animals were earthy. The night stars are scattered in the sky. Tonight should be a romantic night for Leon and his wife. But he screwed everything up. He made his wife's mood ugly.

Suddenly, a hand rolled around Leon's waist. He was shocked and spontaneously looked back.

Arini was putting her head on her shoulder with her eyes closed. Leon smiled happily to be treated like this.

"Darling, have you forgiven me?" ask Leon in a low tone. He stroked Arini's head with affection.

Arini sat down next to Leon. "You're never wrong. I'm too childish" he said, confirming his degenerate hijab.

It seemed like the rain this afternoon had swept away the wounds that were in Arini's heart. He was no longer angry with Leon.

Leon was at a loss for words. He can't speak anymore. He hugged his wife tightly.

Leon brought his face closer to Arini's. Arini could feel her face being swept by the husband's subtle breath.

Leon kisses b*b*r Arini affectionately. Both of them enjoy the happiness that is in their hearts.

Suddenly Arini pushed her husband's chest strong enough. Last afternoon he cursed Frans and his girlfriend who kissed in a public place, now he even did that.

It's a balcony, but someone could have seen them out of nowhere. The balcony has no walls.

"It shouldn't be here" said Arini lirih.

"Sorry, Honey. I didn't mean it, "sorry Leon. Then he looked up at the sky. Enjoy the beautiful shining stars.

Both were silent for a long time. Each other feel awkward. Even though he has been a husband and wife and has lived together for a long time, but still the awkwardness can appear at any time.

"Walk, yuk?!" bring Arini. His voice broke the silence between them.

"Well?!" Leon glared at his eyes in disbelief. These nights Arini took a walk? What about the kids?

"Jalan-walk around here, aja," said Arini with a clear look. She wants to enjoy this romantic evening with her husband. Later when they return to Jakarta, they will rarely have time together like this.

If it is in Jakarta, they will be busy with work and taking care of children. There was rarely time for the two of them to date like tonight.

"But what if the kids wake up? They'll cry if there's no us."

"Anywhere around here, really. Don't go far. If the children cry, we can hear," said Arini and immediately approved by Leon.

Leon also really wants to enjoy this night alone with Arini.

They both walked out of the villa. The two surrounded the villa they had rented. I don't know what the two of them mean. But clearly, the behavior of the two is similar to that of the robber who was surveying the location.

Arini agreed. Both of them sat on the swing. There were two swings, so they could sit next to each other.

For a few seconds they were both silent. In the end, Leon breaks the silence between the two of them. "I don't feel like time is passing. Jasmine's been almost five years, '" he said.

"Yes. That means we're getting old."

"Getting older but getting more intimate. If not us, where there are parents out there who steal time from their children to date," Leon said while chuckling.

Arini gave a small laugh in response to Leon's words. It is true what her husband said.

"You agree no, if we give a sister to Jasmine and Joseph?" Leon Goda. He smiled broadly at his beloved wife.

Arini opened her eyes in disbelief. She did not expect to hear these words from her husband.

"It seems like a good idea" Arini said seriously. "Tomorrow I'll take KB off" he continued.

Leon immediately jumped because he was so excited. He forgot that his leg had not recovered. As a result, he fell on the ground.

Arini got off the swing straight away and helped Leon to get up. Leon's chin was scratched with broken bricks scattered on the ground.

Leon grimaced as he stumbled his way to the terrace. He felt his chin a little painful. But the one that hurts more is his leg. His leg accidentally hit a big cement pot.

The two sat on a wooden chair on the terrace. Arini looked at her husband with worry. "It hurts, huh?" ask Arini. But a few seconds later he cursed himself who asked a qualityless question. Obviously it hurts, it can all be seen from Leon grimacing in pain.

"Not really, really," replied Leon. The pain has diminished. He felt his chin. He then took the phone from his pants pocket, then he screwed his chin. "I think the wound is wide, it was only scratched small," he said while returning to keep the phone in the pocket of his pants.

"Although small, but it still has to be treated, dear," said Arini. "Look, yuk! I want to give you red medicine."

Leon shakes. "No need, honey. It's just a line wound. Doesn't hurt at all. It hurt, but not anymore. I don't want this romantic night to pass quickly" he said seriously.

Arini had no other choice. Finally he nodded with resignation.

Joseph's voice was heard from inside the house. The two then ran into the house.

Arini runs to the room first. Leon, whose run had not been able to be normal, was left behind. After locking the door, Leon followed his wife into the room.

Their room is on the second floor. Therefore, Leon was a bit troubled if he had to quickly get to the room.

But after struggling hard, he finally arrived in the room. In the room, Arini was hugging Joseph tightly.

"Honey.... Mom and Dad didn't go. Joseph don't cry anymore, do you?!" arini said to calm her baby.

The crying of Yusuf subsided.

The boy suddenly woke up, and so did not find his mother's father in the room, he immediately cried hysterically. Luckily Jasmine was not bothered by this sister's cry.
