Mr Love Love
Fail Romantic

"It turns out the romantic surprise I prepared failed miserably. Did Araf see those candles? The light from the candles should shine on your handsome face. And look what happened?" I pointed to the floor leaving behind melted wax that had dried up.

For a moment, Mas Araf and I were both silent, we stared at each other with the moonlight and the dim light from the lamp on the left side of the balcony.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I don't know how many times Mas Araf repeated his apology. I don't mind if he does it once or twice. But this is many times. My ears are itching to hear it.

"Yes, okay. I forgive you, can we sit down and eat this food in peace now?" I asked while pointing at the food on the table then looked at the netra shade mas Araf. There was no reply from him other than a nod of the head.

"The food is cold, I have to heat it!" I opened my voice again between the silence of the air.

Just as I was about to get out of my seat, Mas Araf grabbed my wrist instead, glaring in his tears. I could see there was still regret behind her beautiful gaze.

"Leave it like this! Just for a moment, without talking. Feel each other's heartbeats. Since morning I have missed my beautiful wife so much, unfortunately my position as hospital director has tied my hands and feet to not running towards you." Mas Araf said as he hugged me from behind, he tightened his arms and whispered in my ear with his meek voice.

I smiled in silence while staring at the moonlight. I feel happy because the most beautiful man in the world is in my arms, he is trying hard to change himself for the better and that is enough for me. I don't want to look at her with the gaze of her past, which is why I'm trying to cultivate love in my heart so that no darkness accompanies the relationship that has been framed with this Halal logo.

Pefk.Kriuk.

I smiled because I heard a strange sound coming from my stomach.

"Because of waiting for me to come home, my Angel of Heaven is even willing to endure hunger. I'm flattered to have this much love." Mas Araf said again, still in a whispering position in my ear.

"Can we talk later? I'm hungry!" My babble while flipping my body facing Mas Araf. I pinched Mas Araf's nose while brushing my thin lips.

Ahaha!

Mas Araf chuckled at the funny expression I showed, instead of releasing my slender body, he buried my head in the chest of his field together with a long sigh.

"Why breathe? Did I upset Mas Araf?" I asked cautiously while my hands were back coiled in her stocky body.

"I feel happy. I sighed because I imagined the bad of my past, then because of the goodness of God I have a beautiful and kind wife like you. I don't know what good I made in the past until I got a perfect Angel like my Sabina!"

I happy. I'm flattered. I felt like I was flying into the clouds hearing Mas Araf's sweet confession.

Pefk.Kriuk.

A strange sound from my stomach reverberated my sense of hearing. I think I'm really hungry because since noon I'm just busy in the kitchen preparing food that I don't know how it tastes.

"It seems like I can't hold you back for too long, if I do that then Mama Nani and Papa Otis will start cursing me for starving her daughter. Plus Alan, he's a mean guy when he's angry!" Babe Mas Araf while pinching my smooth cheeks. He smiles.

There was no more conversation between me and Mas Araf, we sat at the table enjoying the food I had been providing since the afternoon. Really, enjoying the time together like this is really fun.

...***...

Seconds become minutes, minutes become hours, and within an hour, that very short time I tried to withstand the turmoil in my heart, the more I refuse to justify that desire the greater the pressure that is in my body.

I'm like a thief caught red-handed. So easily did Sabina know my way of thinking, she was still very young but she thought very mature.

"Are you serious? You won't regret it?" I asked with my head down. I really can't afford to stare at the shady netra of sabina.

"Yes, I'll be sorry." Reply Sabina firmly.

Hearing Sabina's words I immediately raised my head, I looked at her inten, I knew she would definitely say that which is why I never crossed my boundaries.

"I'd be sorry if it made my husband mad at me. I'm more afraid to see him lose his smile than I lose my life." Sabina again.

It felt like there was a butterfly flying in my heart, hearing Sabina's green-light-like speech I no longer wanted to hold back the desire in my heart. I carried Sabina, walked slowly away from the balcony and laid her on the large bed carefully. I was afraid to hurt him because his leg was still wrapped in bandages.

"Thank you for accepting me for who I am and with all your heart. I feel drunk in your love cradle, and I don't want to lose you." My babble again once knowing Sabina resigned to what would happen on this long night.

There was no reply from Sabina other than a nod of the head. He cupped my face and landed a brief kiss on my right cheek. He always did that so that I would feel comfortable whenever I was around him. I thought after deciphering my past he would decide to leave me then look for another figure who was a thousand times better than me, in fact he didn't do that and my fear seemed to evaporate into space.

I happy. So happy that I can't speak. The moment I wanted to throw back a kiss on Sabina's thin lips, the noise coming from the door of our room stopped my activity.

Tok.Tok-sign.Tok.

"Lord. Madame. Hiks.Hiks!"

The loud sound of crying coming from the front of the room made me wonderfully surprised. I helped Sabina to wake up and look at each other not understanding the situation.

"Mas Araf, let's get out. There seems to be a problem down below." Sabina said as she tried to stand up.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Do you want to resign on your first day at work?" I asked with a murderous look. Seeing my cold behavior Sabina directly linked her clenched fingers in my firm hands, she signaled that I would not have to talk nonsense in front of a depressed person.

"What's Tuti? Why are you crying? Is something bothering you?" Sabina asked as she held the arm of Art named Tuti, I didn't expect Sabina to be that easy to get along with our new Art house.

"Mrs... Hicks.Hiks."

"Why are you crying? Do you want to show us that we're ruthless employers? If you don't talk better go back to your room!" My move as I turned around was about to enter the room.

"Mrs Rima was sick, Rima was hit by a hot water spill in the kitchen. Hixes. Hicks."

"What's? Why did that happen?" Sabina was shocked, and her short speech stopped my footsteps.

A rhyme? Who else is Rima? Why does everything have to happen now? Because of this mess I even failed romantically with my beautiful Angel Sabina Wijaya. I wanted to go berserk but as much as I could try to control my anger after seeing the shady Netra Sabina who seemed to ask me to take a medical bag in the room.
