Love belongs to Keanu
The Part 14

Kumandang adzan dawn heard sayup-sayup from the mosque toa not far from the house of Love. It feels like just a few minutes Love slept in his sleep, after a night the girl cried alone. While the man who has the status of her husband was impressed cold even though he knew if Love was hurt by it.

Without passion the girl stepped lazily towards the bathroom to just take ablution. After finishing from there, Cinta immediately put on her prayer cloth without any interest in waking her husband who she thought was still sleeping. Sajadah already she title facing the qibla, only then she saw her husband open his eyes and then sat looking at her on the bed.

For a moment the Netra looked at. There was a sense of whether they felt, both silenced with their mouths locked tightly. The man could see clearly the puffed-up eyes of Love from crying all night.

Actually Keanu himself did not expect because his words could hurt his wife's feelings. It is also the same as love. He did not sleep well after making his wife cry. What real power is that. Wouldn't it be better to be honest at the beginning, than later will hurt behind.

Love turns its face away from its gaze. His face was bowed facing the prayer mat, while beristighfar as much in the heart. He knew his actions were wrong. Having inhabited her husband and putting a taut face against him, is not the characteristic of a sholihah wife as her mother often ordered her.

As a wife, you must obey and submit to your husband. For his husband is the priest who will bear all the burdens and the living. Is it not after becoming the wife of heaven that there is a husband?

"Mas," said Love, venturing to greet him, as Keanu stood up from his place.

Keanu. He thought his wife would stay behind and would not talk to him again.

"Don't be long. I want to pray the same congregational dawn Mas," he exclaimed so gently.

Aah, what is the heart of Love made of? The man was just stunned in place, finding his wife was still patient despite knowing his heart that blatantly claimed not to like him last night.

"Mas Keanu," Love greeted him again. Because her husband was just staring at her.

Then Keanu just nodded small. There's no reason to refuse kindness, right? The man immediately went to the bathroom. Taking ablution water, then after completion immediately occupy the prayer rug that has been held by his wife.

Without stalling, Keanu led the dawn prayer solemnly. This is his first experience as a prayer priest after officially becoming a husband.

When the two skirts were finished, the two of them were still silent to each other. Then Love touched her husband's shoulder to look at him. The girl immediately stretched out her hand as Keanu turned his head, with a slightly clumsy Keanu replying to her hand.

Love kissed the back of her husband's hand long enough. Like inhaling the fragrance of the hand, to be reluctant to take it off.

"I'm sorry, Mas" he said.

Slowly Love lifted her face, but still clasped her husband's hand quite tightly.

"Please guide me to be a good wife to you. About last night I'm sorry. I won't repeat anymore. Whatever may make you unhappy, I will try to avoid it." Love says it with a sincere heart. Sincere even though there is no welcome love from her husband to her.

Keanu only flinched when he heard it. In fact, the smallest corner of his heart was slightly flicked when he heard his wife's apology. Obviously he did the wrong thing last night. He should have apologized first. But his heart was too proud to say it.

Slowly Keanu pulled his hand from the grasp of Love. There was a sense of shame when Keanu turned face to face the qibla again. But it slowly faded away after seeing Keanu raise his hand and mutter the prayer of kindness he had not asked the Power.

Love raises both hands fervently. Her lips murmured lafadz amin at every prayer that her husband prayed. After the prayer was finished, Keanu immediately moved to sit on the bed. Feeling bored should do what activities after this. To get out of the room was very lazy, reluctant to meet someone who was already his sister-in-law now.

Love folded her prayer cloth a little quickly. After this usually a wife will make a warm drink for her husband. Because usually his mother and also his sister-in-law so every morning.

The girl actually wanted to say hello to Keanu again, but urung after finding her husband was very focused on answering a chat with whom.

Love also chose to leave her room. Luckily, he found his mother-in-law in the kitchen, when the girl was also going there.

"Mama," she said kindly.

Love is small. Should he just ask Ratih's mom about Keanu's favorite drink?

"Ma" she said again.

"Yes, Honey. What's up?"

"Mas Keanu usually likes to drink what if this morning?"

Train smile knot. I am so grateful to have a daughter-in-law who can love and pay attention to her child.

"Warm husband. Keanu likes that drink. From childhood until now he loved it. But if the night is usually Keanu like to drink black coffee is a little bit bitter. Even though not every night," explained Ratih.

"Black coffee?"

Ratih nodded steadily.

"It doesn't even make it hard to sleep, Ma. Why even drink black coffee at night?"

"It's kind of weird. But Keanu said, if you want a good night fast he should drink coffee first, make the encouragement cradle the dream he said." Ratih chuckled a little while saying that.

Love is small. It felt a little relieved after she knew her husband's favorite drink. After this he will also ask Ratih's mother about her favorite food as well. Soon the girl made warm milk, then returned to the room to meet Keanu who was still at home there.

The girl was stunned for a moment after seeing her husband finish bathing and was changing his clothes more neatly.

"Where are you going, Mas?" he asked curiously, while putting the warm milk on the nightstand.

Keanu only glanced a little at her. His gaze was also fixed on the glass of warm milk his favorite was presented before his eyes.

"Well seven we go back to Jakarta" he cried still so cold to Cinta.

"This one, Mas?" Of course Love was a little surprised, because she still did not pack up for him to bring to her husband's house.

Keanu doesn't say anymore. He remained focused on tidying himself in front of the mirror, without interest in looking at his wife.

"This is the warm milk, Mas," said Cinta, by offering a glass of heat to Keanu.

"Drink first while warm. After this I want to pack, what items I want to bring," he explained, still holding the heat in his hand.

Keanu. It is no wonder where the girl knows her favorite drink every morning. He was sure that Love asked his mother first.

"Bring it as necessary. What matters." Keanu started responding to the Love chatter.

Love is obedient. Soon he picked up a small suitcase for him to fill up some of his clothes. A little regretful because this morning he could not stand cooking together for breakfast. Though he really wants to serve his homemade cooking for his beloved husband, even though he is not very good at cooking.

Maybe after he lives alone and only with him later, Love will maximize himself serve him. Hopefully according to his expectations. Because no one knew what would happen after they only stayed together later.
