Chapters 16. Increasingly Curious
Slowly Alvian began to walk to the table where on it was available a glass of milk that Almaira brought earlier.
Alvian began to gulp down his warm milk slowly. Alvian started walking towards the sofa, laying down his body there.
"Although I have to get sick to sleep here, but that's okay. I feel sorry for Almaira when she sleeps here" muttered Alvian and she saw Almaira for a moment. However, slowly his eyes began to close after his drowsiness began to come back.

When dawn came, Almaira began to wake up from her sleep
"Uh." Almaira began to squirm from the top of the bed. "Why can I be here? The feeling I fell asleep on the couch last night, to be here huh?" Almaira began to feel astonished by the existence of herself who was on the bed.
"Is it possible that Mas Alvian brought me here, huh?" Almaira begins to wonder to herself "Maybe it was Mas Alvian who brought Maira here. There is no one in this room except Me and Mas Alvian." Tampa thought long Almaira had believed that her husband had brought her here.
Slowly Almaira began to look around at where her husband was now. Almaira squinted her eyes as she began to look at Alvian who was asleep on the sofa.
"Huh. Alvian slept on the sofa. Was Mas Alvian not in pain times, huh sleeping there?" grouse Almaira.
"Mas .. forgive Almaira who troubled Mas last night." Almaira looked at Alvian with both eyes that seemed to be reminiscing with tears, in both of her eyes.
Slowly Almaira began to step away from her husband with mixed feelings, by entering the bathroom.
Almaira felt she could not make her husband comfortable to be next to her. Starting to look from Alvian who often avoid him. Almaira also felt her husband had not been able to accept her presence all this time. She also could not bear to see her husband who always slept on the sofa, for the sake of just avoiding the distance between the two, but how else, it had become Alvian's will as her husband.
A few minutes later, Almaira came out of the bathroom with a towel only because she saw Alvian who was still asleep, Almaira hurriedly used her robe and hijab as Almaira used to wear for a few days in her husband's house.
Alvian began to wake up from his sleep because he heard the melodious voice of Almaira who was reading the Qur'an. Alvian started looking for the source of that melodious voice. It turns out that Almaira who has a melodious voice, so Alvian pretends to sleep in order to want to listen to the melodious voice of Almaira.
Almaira began to finish reading his Qur'an after feeling that it was enough for Almaira to be able to move in the morning. Almaira began to do her habits as she often did, including preparing for her husband's needs and cleaning the house.
Alvian who pretended to be asleep began to open his eyes, seeing Almaira who was busy preparing for her needs in the morning.
"I'm getting curious about Almaira? She was very similar to the late Almarhumah's very gentle mother ." Alvian begins to sense Almaira's presence.
