"I don't, I don't have an appetite." He did not think about food at all.
For the time being whenever he imagined food, he must have instantly become nauseous and wanted to vomit. Um, it's because the operation was pretty severe tonight that made him reluctant to eat.
"Okay, I understand. Later if Kenzie wants to eat, just say the same to me, yes?" Azira does not force her husband to eat because she knows that her husband will definitely not want to eat because of his work last night.
Kenzie smile. It is true that going home is the best solution for all its saturation. Especially treated well by the wife, somehow it feels lighter body. This is what people used to mean. After any time a husband you have met with a sweet smile his wife will definitely be excited again.
"Mas Kenzie does not want to take a bath first so that later immediately morning prayers when the morning adhan reverberates." Azira stared at the top of her husband's head several times. He wanted to touch her. But he didn't dare. Um, not that far. He still did not dare to go that far.
Azira actually accidentally asks Kenzie to take a bath. He wanted to calm his mind. Even though he was getting brave but there was little doubt. He didn't want Kenzie to see what he was feeling right now. Fear of being too aggressive.
"Don't shower first. Remember this is Azira. You are not allowed to shower after staying up all night because the risk is very fatal for your body. You can be paralyzed, stroke and the most frightening is the impact will be directly to the heart which can result in death. So do not try to take a shower if you ever stay up late. If you have slept before, you can take a shower whenever you want. On condition that you ever sleep. Understood?" Kenzie spoke seriously because staying up is not a trivial thing.
What about the one who takes a midnight shower during the evening prayer? The answer is certainly okay. After all, the requirement for night prayer is that the person must sleep either 1 hour, less than 1 hour, or more, which is important sleep. If you can sleep and then wake up to move whether doing night prayers or not, staying up is not a problem. Even seem healthy because before staying up the body has rested.
"Seriously that's right, ma'am?" Honestly Azira was shocked to hear that. He didn't know it was dangerous.
Everyone says staying up late is dangerous. But Azira had never heard anyone mention this matter. So when Kenzie mentioned it, of course he was very surprised.
She also felt guilty for her husband. Fortunately her husband refused to go for a bath, otherwise Azira was afraid something might happen to her husband.
"It's very serious. So you have to remember it well." Press Kenzie seriously.
Azira repeatedly nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. She earnestly listened to her husband's advice and promised to always remember this advice well.
"I will always remember the words, Kenzie. Then can I take a shower?" Because Kenzie can't take a shower, he'll go for a bath himself.
Besides, he needs to organize himself. The two lingering with her husband clearly made her very nervous.
Kenzie looked at Azira's face. I don't know what he was thinking, but the hand that was massaging Azira's hand suddenly squeezed Azira's hand strong to make Azira grimace in pain.
"Oh.." The pain is not playing.
Kenzie let go of his hand.
"Are you okay? Sorry, it's your fault."
Huh huh?
Azira was immediately stunned to hear it. Everywhere people apologize for their own mistakes, not for blaming others. But maybe her husband is a little different.
"Why was it my fault?" In addition to not accepting blame, he was also confused about where his fault was.
The feeling she did nothing but sit obediently speaking in front of her husband.
Kenzie touched Azira's face gently, seconds later Azira again grimaced with pain because her husband pinched her cheek. Her husband's behavior is a bit strange.
"Yes, it's your fault. Next time don't talk in front of me. You also know I'm a man, how about I get out of control, hum?" His voice sounded much heavier and hoarse.
Azira confusion. Talk about what her husband means.
"What's the bath anyway?!" Is it because she said she took a bath in front of her husband?
Do these words sound dangerous?
Why did Azira feel that these words were harmless and polite?
"Yes, you said it in front of me. Do you know what my first thought was?"
Azira innocently asked, "What?"
Kenzie savagely replied, "Under the splash of water you're naked"
Azira's face immediately flushed hearing that. Without waiting for her husband to finish the sentence she also knew what her husband wanted to talk about. So she shut her husband's mouth to stop talking. What does her husband want to say is very dangerous and quite frontal?
"Stop, stop! L'm... I don't want to hear what Kenzie said. I'm gonna go take a shower now." Without waiting for Kenzie's response, he immediately ran into the bathroom.
Escape from the feeling that is growing in the heart. Many times he felt this feeling, instead of weakening without getting stronger, and repeatedly he thought - oh, this is how it feels to be in love, it is like being drunk on love. It was fun and had a lot of surprises. Impressed monotony. But a strong reaction in the heart cannot. That feeling of happiness cannot be lied to. A feeling long awaited.
...*****...
After the dawn prayer and reading the Qur'an for a while, Kenzie finally rested. Before exiting Azira's room to make sure that the curtains are tightly closed, the sleeping lights are turned off because it is morning, and do not forget to put a glass of water on the nightstand next to the bed to facilitate her husband if you want to drink. After making sure of everything, he closed the door carefully then descended down following Umi and Sasa.
Coincidentally today was Sunday, Kenzie did not enter work after the surgery last night and Sasa took a college break. As usual, Sasa was with Umi early in the morning. They were both in the kitchen and started preparing the ingredients they would cook today.
Both Sasa and Umi smiled back.
"Morning. Kenzie came home last night, huh?" Umi asked without distracting her face from the ingredients on the table.
Azira walks up to him and helps Umi chop up the necessary vegetables. While Sasa at the side put all the unnecessary vegetables back into the refrigerator. This vegetable just arrived at dawn. Every dawn there will be farmers who send new vegetables to this house. Not only to this house but to some houses in this complex as well. So they actually do not have to bother going to the market. But if they do not have complete vegetables and want to buy kitchen needs such as spices or meat, then inevitably they have to go down to the market.
"Yes, Umi. He came home at 04:00 this morning and can only sleep now." Azira said concerned.
Umi also used to be like this seeing her son like to go home at midnight. Because it can not stand, sometimes Umi persuaded him to stop and switch professions to run the business Abah. Kenzie refused this offer many times. He said he liked this job.
"You should get used to it now. Umi used to say the same to him to just quit his job and start running Abah business. You see, Kenzie's work takes too much time to the point that he can rarely get together with all of us. In addition Umi also pity to see him home in the middle of the night, Umi is afraid of his body for nothing and so drop. But he always refused. The reason is because it likes this job, because it is destiny, or because the dream is from childhood. He worked as a surgeon for Amara and not for any other reason. Umi also does not"
"Umi, what do you want to cook today?" Sasa's chatty voice instructs Umi's speech.
Umi didn't realize it. Because of Sasa's question, his mind was distracted. But not for Azira. Ever since he first heard the name Amara, his heart wondered who the woman was?
Why is his influence on Kenzie so great?
"What are you thinking?" Sasa walked over to Azira, pretending to help Azira cut the vegetables on the table.
Though his eyes looked at Azira several times nervously. He was very sorry for what Umi said just now. The name of the woman is taboo in this house. Because it's directly related to Kenzie.
Azira shook her head in embarrassment.
"That's... I just heard Umi say the name of a woman named Amara. Umi says Kenzie became a surgeon because of Amara, then who is that woman? Her relationship with Kenzie's mas seems good." Not only good, but also very good, he thought.
She's a little jealous. If this woman could affect Kenzie's future desires, then this woman must be very good and have a very good relationship with Kenzie. It is wrong that Azira feels jealous. After all, he came at a different time. But still he felt jealous.
"Oh.. Amara. That's Kenzie's high school friend. But for some reason, he went abroad. Azira knew for herself that my brother was the one. With such a character, he had a hard time finding friends. Upon meeting a friend, he appreciated it very sincerely." So indirectly Sasa confirmed what Umi said.
Azira felt sour. But she was very grateful because their relationship was only a friend. But he was confused, with such a character, it was difficult to make friends and even harder to make friends with a woman. This is what Azira understood. But, yes, everything is in the past. Amara's not here right now. According to what Sasa said, he had long since gone abroad and never returned here again.
Azira felt very calm. And he stopped thinking about the strange things about the past.
"Oh... You know a lot huh, deck?" Azira didn't mean anything to say like this.
But Sasa's reaction was a bit strange.
"Hehe... Kenzie isn't hungry, brother?" Sasa shifted the topic of conversation.
Azira shook her head slowly.
"Mas Kenzie again no lust, deck. That's why you want to make him porridge so he can eat." Azira put aside her husband's work problems first. He did have an idea, but he did not dare to be too hopeful.
Fear rejected.
"Porridge?" As far as Sasa, instead of increasing appetite, Kenzie was even more reluctant to touch food. She knew best that her brother hated porridge.
Say the food of small children and adults is not suitable to eat porridge. Sasa wanted to laugh every time he heard his brother speak like this, because from his speech alone everyone knew that his brother's mind was still childish.
"Yes porridge, deck. You want to too?" Azira offered with a gentle smile on her face.
Sasa wisely shook his head. Just like Kenzie, he also did not particularly like those soft and mushy foods. Instead of eating porridge, he prefers to eat hard foods such as rice, snacks or cakes. The point is that porridge is not on the list of favorite foods. Even when he was sick, Umi would give him white rice mixed with warm water because neither Sasa nor Kenzie would eat porridge.
"My advice, brother. You see, in this house no one likes to eat porridge. Instead of being wasted, you better not cook." Sasa advised.
Afraid Azira will be disappointed because no one wants to touch the porridge food.
"really? But try it once. If indeed no one likes it, then porridge brother wrap and love to the gardener or Mr. Maman. The food won't be in vain, deck." Azira said not to give up so easily.
He was very confident in his mother's recipe. Um, she learned to make porridge from her mother. And his mother learned this porridge recipe from grandparents in the village first. Mom says almost everyone in the family uses this recipe because it is a family recipe and guaranteed to taste really good. Although at first glance the same as the usual porridge, but for some ingredients, porridge from the Azira family has a little difference and of course a different taste.
For Azira personally she really liked this porridge. Believe it or not, outside if lebaran must eat ketupat mixed with opor or rendang, the point is rich in eating foods high in protein. Almost all homes provide this food. But a small part may not. And Azira's house is one of them.
He and his mother did not have the money to buy that much food. Therefore every leafan mother must make this porridge. Although not as luxurious and as rich as leafan food out there, but the taste is not inferior and both contain protein as well, because there are eggs and chicken milk.
Although not expensive, but the nutrition is the same, right?
"Whatever brother, deh. God willing, I will try." Sasa said with a smile.
When there was no other work in the kitchen, Azira used this opportunity to make porridge. Fortunately the ingredients in the kitchen are very complete so the results do not bother looking for it because everything is available. Azira was very confident in making this porridge. Because many times he made, mother must always say that the food is very good. Even the neighbors in his house used to come knocking on the door to buy a bowl of porridge made. They said it smells good. They couldn't stand it and wanted to taste it too.
