The clock had already pointed to the number two in the morning, Hilal had just arrived home. The man immediately entered without waking the houseman as he always carried a spare key.
Before entering the room, Hilal always took the time to open his daughter's room first. Making sure that his little daughter was asleep and comfortable, then he would go to his room which was right in front of the room Aca.
Cklek!
“Assalamualaikum!” hilal said as he entered his room and saw Khalifa still awake waiting for him.
“Walaikumsalam,” replied Khalifa, “Direct shower aja ya Gus, Khalifa already ready warm water.”
Hilal nodded his head, and without much questioning the man immediately went inside the bathroom to clean himself up. Not wanting to linger long, Hilal immediately ended his activities, and immediately wore clothes that had also been prepared by Khalifa.
“You sick?” asked Hilal frowned, while buttoning his sleeping shirt, Hilal approached Khalifa who had been sleeping since then and covered herself with a blanket.
Khalifa was almost out of breath, when she felt a cold touch from Hilal's hand on her forehead, “You have a fever?”
Khalifa quickly shook her head. Perhaps, Hilal felt Khalifa's body feel warm because she had finished bathing, or because Khalifa was feeling cold heat because of nervousness.
Of course he was nervous, usually when Hilal came home he would go straight to the man and take the bag and jacket Hilal wore. But today, tonight she did not budge from the bed at all, for she was so ashamed to open her thick blanket.
“K—why go home so late, Gus?” tanya Khalifa tried to eliminate her nervousness.
Hilal sat himself beside Khalifa while leaning against the side of the bed. During this time, both of them had slept in one bed, but nothing happened, because both of them slept always in a very calm position.
As a child, Khalifa often asked to sleep with her older sister. But, only once, after that he did not want to anymore. How not to be traumatized, if the two of them seem to embrace, but at midnight always Khalifa get a free kick, which makes him sellau fall out of bed.
So, even though Khalifa and Hilal were in one room and one bed, they were always able to take care of themselves, despite being faced with a fairly heavy exam for adults.
“Iya, I purposely finished all my work, so that tomorrow we can go.”
Khalifa frowned, staring at her husband so intensely, “Where to go?”
“The plan, I want to take you and Nasha on vacation. Long time we don't go together, I'm too busy in factory.” Hilal sighed his heaviness a little, “Isn't your thesis also finished? Therefore, I plan to take you on vacation.”
“Where?” tanya Khalifa instantly developed her sweet smile.
For a moment, Hilal fell silent as he saw a cheerful look on Khalifa's face. It had been quite a while, he did not see such a look again on the figure of the girl in front of him. In the past, before she married Kirana, the girl was always cheerful and could always be an encouragement to her.
The role of Khalifa was quite important in Hilal's life since the time he broke up ta'aruf with Maira, who was none other than Khalifa's older brother. Until the moment arrives a must marry another woman who made the girl's heart broken.
‘Astagfirullah!’ Hilal immediately rubbed his face when he remembered the mistake he had done. The guilt in her heart was not just because of Kirana. But also for hurting a good girl like Khalifa.
“Gus, where are we going?” Unknowingly, Khalifa got up and sat down as her hands shook the small hands of her husband. Until immediately made Hilal's eyes immediately patterned perfectly.
“K—Khalifa .... “
