" Asalamualaikum.... Assalamualaikum..." We just finished our first morning prayer. Aisyah kissed the back of my hand with reverence, making my heart warm to such treatment.
This was our first time praying together, after our three-month marriage.
Last night after dinner and continued on to small talk. We decided to sleep in one room. This is our first step to living a normal home life like any other.
And I also decided to call Aisyah affectionately, of course I just obey her will.
" eemmm..how about baby?" aisyah's proposal last night is still ringing in my ears to this day. The look on her face at that time was absolutely adorable. I was stunned for a moment before I agreed.
There's no harm in calling him that. It's just fine, isn't it?
Moreover, he himself asked for it, what can I do?
As a man who is currently trying to learn to be a good husband and Imam. I didn't bother about it, instead I was quite happy with Aisyah's attitude like this. Spoiled and sweet.
" I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to carry out my other obligations. I can't make you a full wife yet. I still need time for that, so we can't do it right now." I said last night to Aisyah before we decided to sleep one bed.
" I understand, just like you. I am still not ready, if I have to give you that. We must also strengthen each other's hearts first, before going any further." Aisyah's words that did not even seem to mind made me a little relieved. The guilt that had plagued me, slowly disappeared.
Aisyah was indeed a kind and gentle-hearted woman. Why is he even dating a guy like me. Which is not worthy enough to accompany him.
It is true people say. We can love anyone we want. But we cannot refuse the soul mate that God has outlined for us.
After the morning prayer we also taught together for a while.
" I'm gonna go downstairs, cook for our breakfast." Say Aisyah to me while tidying up our prayer equipment.
I nodded "Alright, I want to be here first. Later if I help you cook." I said while checking my phone for a moment, checking if any emails came in.
" Alright" Aisyah rushed out of the room.
Then I resumed my work
briefly before following her into the kitchen to help her.
After finishing my work, I immediately went down following Aisyah to the kitchen. The aroma of cooking that spread throughout the room immediately perched in my face.
" What are you cooking? the aroma is very fragrant." I asked while bending my head towards the pan that already contains the cuisine. Aisyah smiled thinly while continuing to flip through her cooking that was almost so it was.
" I cook your favorite oyster shrimp sausage." he said, which is enough to make me big head.
I frowned in wonder how he knew my favorite food. " Why do you know that's my favorite food?" ask me again with a narrowed look. Aisyah just laughed a little in response to my question.
Is there something funny, huh?
" How come you're laughing anyway? Is something funny?" I was increasingly curious by his attitude. Aisyah just shook her head, while continuing her activities. Move dishes that have matured kewadah then arrange them at the table of eating.
I followed her from behind.
" Why not answered? Will I ask again?" I sat my ass down at the dinner table and poured water into the glass. I gulped it down with a look that could not be separated from Aisyah. The woman looks ordinary even now is busy making me coffee.
" Want to know what you want to know??" Aisyah walked up to me at the table to eat with a cup of coffee that she had made and then thrust it in front of me.
His words just now made my eyes narrow even more towards him. I didn't know if he could tease me, too.
" It must be from Ummi?" guess I just made Aisyah nod right away.
" Ooh...pantes??" selorohku while sipping coffee made by Aisyah. It tastes like always.
" Can't I ask Ummi about you?" Aisyah asked me with a sour face and pursed her pink lips.
" That's fine, but it's even better if it goes directly to the person." Sahut ku while bribing rice containing shrimp oyster saos that previously prepared Aisyah. It tastes better than Ummi's.
" When do you have time? You were never home. Departing early in the morning home at night. That's what you've been doing since we married. I had to go to Ummi." Aisyah's words instantly made me blink for a while. It felt why it was so painful in the chest, hearing Aisyah complain like that. I subconsciously touched my chest which felt throbbing.
I can also see the look on Aisyah's face exuding sadness. Her beautiful vibe turned flat.
" Sorry.." That's the only word I can say for him. Guilt is so hard on me. What kind of husband am I, is really disappointing.
" No problem, I can also understand your attitude all this time. We suddenly become husband and wife in unexpected circumstances. That must have been a bit of a shock to you, didn't it?" tanyanya and I can only be silent without a word.
My appetite seems to run away somewhere. Seeing Aisyah grieve like this made my heart ache. I'm really stupid, because I haven't considered it for three months. It must be that his heart was so broken that he got such treatment from me.
I took a deep breath before speaking again. " It may have been like that at first, but since yesterday I've been aware of my mistakes with you. Back to our plans last night, if we're gonna give this relationship a chance. We are both striving to realize Bang Haikal's dream. I will also try hard to become the husband of your dreams. May God grant us this intention." My conditional words of regret and hope were immediately echoed by Aisyah.
The two of us threw smiles at each other and glanced at each other. Aisyah looked wrong and blushed, as my eyes continued to look at her without blinking.
" Wouldn't eat it? From earlier even mengeliatin me.." selorohan Aisyah make me a little drunk. I pretended to have a fever and continued my eating ritual.
For a moment the atmosphere became silent only the sound of the clanking of spoons was heard in the room.
I gulped down some water after finishing my meal. So did Aisyah. He had also finished his breakfast and immediately rushed to clean up my used dirty dishes and eat them.
" Let me help, can you?" I volunteered to help her, Aisyah just nodded and smiled.
I took the initiative to wash the dirty dishes but Aisyah directly prevented me from doing that. " No need, let me. You have to go to work? Was it noon?? You'll be late." Aisyah pushed my body slowly to get away from the dishwasher.
I leaned beside Aisyah who was still busy washing dishes. Suddenly I decided to take a day off from the office.
" Today I decided to take a day off. Want to take my wife for a walk, would you??" My words made Aisyah stop her activities for a moment and then turned to look at me who was still standing leaning beside her.
" You..serius?? No more kidding, right?" tanyanya while continuing her activities that had stopped, washing dishes.
Both of my eyebrows were raised, the response shown by Aisyah was quite disappointing to me. I think he'll be happy with my decision to take a vacation and take it for a walk. But apparently, nil.
" Aren't you going to take me for a walk?" I tried to confirm it once again, my eyes squeaking sharply at her.
Aisyah who has finished her work, wiped her hands with a napkin and stood in front of me with her arms crossed.
I could see clearly the bulge in his chest which was enough to make my focus diverted to it. Pretty big too.my inner.
I don't know why the sight made my blood rustle and suddenly my head felt dizzy.
Honestly, as a normal man, being presented with such a sight made the center of my body slightly throb.
Though the appearance of Aisyah as usual, wearing closed clothes and wearing a fairly long hijab. Covering half his chest.
Maybe my brain was contaminated by perverted things, so I had this kind of mind.
ck! just-there's.
" Hello...???" Aisha shook her hands at my face. Just making my wild fantasies blur yawn somewhere. Haider... Haider...
" What about. i-iya?" I'm like a thief who's caught. My own behavior is self-defeating. I pretended to cleared my throat and the awkwardness that suddenly appeared.
" Are you serious about taking a day off and taking a walk?" Aisyah asked my seriousness that suddenly wanted to take a day off and took her for a walk. I nodded steadily and Aisyah looked radiant with a fluffy smile.
" Seriously?? Waah... Why are you taking me where?" ask her while sitting back on the dining table chair.
" It's up to you, where you want it. I'm just trying to get it." I replied as he sat down at the dinner table.
