REPAIR EFFORT

Septian pensive near his coffee maker. With both hands folded up his chest and the body he rested on the table. Today the cafe was a little quiet, so he wasn't so busy.

He was still thinking about his quarrel with Nara. You could say, they rarely fight. And maybe it was one of their big fights.

It might be true, Nara said, that she was selfish. But is it a little selfish for self-esteem? Salahkah he who wants to be a reliable figure, a figure needed, not just a figure considered complementary.

"Today is quiet, Bang." Said Shaila who just came out of the kitchen. Since then, the dessert order has only been a little. He thought maybe they just wanted to have coffee. But in fact, the cafe is quiet.

"Dude." Call Shaila because Septian didn't respond. But it's the same, no response.

"Devents."

Finally Shaila patted his brother's shoulder because he was tired of not responding.

"Yes Sha, what's wrong?"

"There problem? I see, you've been dumb since?"

Septian was silent, he was in trouble. But you better not tell Shaila. Afraid of the woman told the mother and ended the mother thought..

"Think of a quiet cafe?" Guess Shaila. "The 5-day period is open, each day is not getting crowded, but it is getting quieter." Complain Shaila.

Actually it also made Septian think. But he tried to think positively..

"Maybe because it's Sha's weekend. Hope it's on a busy weekend."

"Hopefully so bang. Scared, dessert makes me less tasty."

Shaila remembered Diego's words. Maybe that guy said. His Dessert was just b, no more value. There is nothing that makes people miss with the dessert.

"Don't be pessimistic. His name is also Sha's new venture. No permanent customers yet. Hopefully, over time more and more. Most importantly, you stay up. Continue to improve your dessert and do not forget to pray, may our efforts be launched and endowed with fortune."

"Amen... " Sahut Shaila's.

"Are you not busy?"

Shaila shakes.

"Make a dessert box for Kak Nara. Let's take him home later."

Tossed an idea in Septian's head. Want to bring a dessert box to persuade Nara not to be angry anymore. Maybe he should just give up now. And after that, he would look for other ways to persuade Nara to want a normal birth.

"Ready bang. Yeah, I'll stay back first." Pamit Shaila and immediately return to her place of work.

...*****...

Almost 1pm, Septian just got home. He immediately went into the kitchen to wash his hands and take a spoon. Intention, want to invite Nara to eat dessert together. Before tomorrow changes, he wants to fix his relationship with Nara. Don't want the problem to dissolve..

Septian sat on the edge of the bed while gently rubbing Nara's cheeks to get up..

"Darling, wake up." Still no sign of movement.

"Bring your favorite food. We eat the same yuk." Septian slightly shook Nara's shoulder as he did not wake up either.

"What the hell is bang?" Sahut Nara with a distinctive sound of waking up. He looked yawning and rubbing his eyes.

"Abang bawain dessert box hotel. Eat the same yuk, brother bribe." Septian pointed at the food he was carrying.

"I'm so sleepy." Nara replied, closing her eyes.

"Cobain a little, really good. Brother asked Shaila to make it special for you." Septian was still trying to persuade.

"I'll try it tomorrow morning."

"Ck, I'm sleepy. It can't be, don't make it." Sahut Nara with a vexed tone.

If this was the case, Septian could only sigh in resignation. Maybe Nara's still mad at him. Because usually, he would want to wake up if after work brought by by.

Maybe it's better to put a refrigerator to eat tomorrow. Eating alone is also lazy. Especially at midnight like this. Better get some sleep. Tomorrow morning look for another attempt to persuade Nara not to sulk again.

...******...

Septian blinked his eyes to look at the wall clock. It's been 7 o'clock. Just after dawn, he slept again because he was still very sleepy.

Looking at her, Nara was sitting applying makeup in front of the mirror. The woman already looked beautiful in a knee-length dress combined with a blazer.

Septian got up from the bed and approached Nara, standing behind her.

"It's really pretty brother's wife." Praise Septian while holding both Nara's shoulders and staring at the reflection of her face in the mirror.

"Disturb me, I want to use mascara so it's this." Nara pressed her shoulders so that her husband would keep his hands away from her. Inevitably, Septian put his hand away.

"If the budos are beautiful gini. The student must be in class." Septian Temptation.

After Nara put down her mascara. Septian slightly bowed then hugged the woman who was sitting on her waist.

"Abang kangen." He said as he dipped in the face of Nara's neck and kissed her.

"Bang, don't think gini dong. I'm gonna fuck this up." Nara tried to let go of Septian's hand and distanced her neck.

"Backle yuk yang, brother wants to." Septian won't let go of Nara this time.

"I'll be late if you're a big brother." Nara kept trying to rebel, making Septian finally let go.

"It's still morning Ra. What time do you spend?"

"Nine." He answered standing up and walked to the desk to check his bag.

"There's still time for you." Septian again approached Nara and hugged her from behind. "Any promise is good enough.30 minutes is enough."

Septian turned Nara's body around and was about to kiss her but Nara looked wry.

"Forced very much. Selfishly know not you." Nara exclaimed as she broke away from the Septian embrace.

"I want to work now. I guess there's no other time. Don't want to self-doll. You are delicious, tired of both being able to go straight to sleep. Lha me?" Nara pointed to herself. "I still have to shower again, have to shampoo, have to cool hair, repeat make up again. You think it's not long?"

Septian scratched his nape. Maybe he was wrong. All this because of reading the article on the internet. How to persuade an angry wife, which is invited to make love. Last night his intention was to eat dessert to be invited, uh did not even want to wake up. This morning after the dawn prayer, Nara went missing somewhere. Maybe help Bik Surti cook. And now, it seems like it was his fault for not considering the time.

"Yes, my brother is sorry. Brother Anterin to college huh?"

"No, I'm being driven by a driver." Ketus answer. After the seven-monthly event, Papa Satrio found a driver for Nara and Mama Tiur. Nara's stomach is too big, it's risky to drive alone. And Mama Tiur also went out more often because of her new business.

"If you can get anther, why use a driver?"

"That's what he did for me."

Nara is about to get out but is held back by Septian.

"forget? you haven't kissed brother's hand yet? Still angry with you because of yesterday? I'm sorry, but I just want to be a husband with __"

"Udahlah. I'm Males talking about that. I'm leaving first." Nara grabbed Septian's hand and kissed him.

After Nara came out, Septian again threw his body on the bed. It turns out that it is also difficult to persuade women who are craving again.

PR is now 2. And two of them, equally difficult. One persuaded Nara. One increases sales in coffee shops that are increasingly quiet.
