My whole body is in pain, two hours ago I was still sitting in the living room and welcoming the guests who were mostly distant relatives of Mama Riska and Papa-in-law who yesterday did not have time to come at my wedding reception and the Araf.
Smiling, shaking hands and listening to the series of prayers of hope from everyone so that I am happy to age with Araf mas continued to repeat from the words of all the guests that Mama Riska invited.
Had Mama Nani and sister-in-law Fatimah been able to come, I was sure my happiness would have doubled. Unfortunately they could not attend because this was special for the family of Araf.
"Are you feeling tired?"
Mas Araf asked as he dried his hair with a towel. Understandably, he just came out of the bathroom, he deliberately chose to soak to drive away tired.
"Mmmm!" I'm not excited.
"Tock mmmm, si."
"What does Sabina have to answer? I don't even have the energy to move my body. It seems, all the work for stock for a year has been done today." I said while stretching. Hope my bones that feel crumpled will be reunited.
"I can't complain about being sick, but I can't sleep in bed for the night?" I asked while looking at the handsome face of Araf. Instead of answering my question he glared at me.
Seconds later...
"Haha... You're really funny. If you're this funny, what am I supposed to do?" Mas Araf said while chuckling.
I looked back at Araf with an astonished look, the white T-shirt and knee-length pants he was wearing made him look even more handsome. I immediately took my eyes off Araf, I didn't want to be caught up in his beautiful charm. The look in his eyes gleamed a light of tranquility.
"You don't have to ask like that, all mine is yours. Including this room and everything in it. You gotit?"
Hearing Araf's words I could only nod slowly. All hers are mine? Hearing that alone made my heart feel flowery, I tried to hold back the laughter so as not to look like a fool in front of her.
"It's for you." Say mas araf while thrusting a neatly wrapped box.
"What's this?"
"I don't know. Mama asked me to give it to you! I almost forgot about it, but you remind me." Just keep running Araf again.
"I never said anything, how could Araf say that I reminded you?"
"You didn't say it, but on your forehead it says where my gift is!" Araf replied without taking a smile off his face.
Like a fool, I even rubbed my forehead for believing Araf's words.
"Gombal." I said ketus and then opened my lips.
Ahahaha!
Again I could only hear the laughter of Araf. Tonight I saw Araf who was different than usual. He smiled, he teased me, he also mocked me. I felt close to him just because he was being friendly to me, he who usually just ducked down and nodded his head when I came across him when I was just the younger brother of his best friend. The status of our relationship is still too foreign to me, however I believe this distance will soon be reduced day by day.
Pukk.pukker.
Mas araf patted the bed with his right hand, he also placed a limiting pillow in the middle of the bed. I looked at him with a sharp look. I wonder, I want to ask what he will do with the pillows, unfortunately my words are just on the lips only.
"You said you wanted to sleep in bed, let's go to bed. I'm so sleepy."
"is that? Both?"
"of course. Here, both." Araf said without hesitation.
"Why are you silent? Let's go to sleep, it's late." Tapping on Araf for seeing me flinch.
"Wait first! Don't tell me you asked me to sleep on the couch and then you slept in bed? Aye, right?"
There was no comment from me other than staring at Araf with a look of wonder.
"Come Sabina. I'm a doctor, tomorrow I have to get up early and go to the hospital. If I sleep on the couch and then I fall and have a concussion, who should I blame? You!" Guyon mas Araf pointed at me.
Falling off? Geger brains? Both sound like nonsense, I want to laugh but fear sin. Whatever my day, having a husband is truly a blessing. I felt like I was on the comedy stage.
"Yes well. I'm going to sleep." I answered while walking slowly towards the bed that has been occupied by mas Araf since.
"Don't tell me you're afraid I'm gonna do something weird to you because that's why you expect me to sleep on the couch?"
Mas Araf's eyes were round, I knew he was very curious and was waiting for an answer to his question. What can I say? I can't say that his words have a point. Wanna put it where my face is if he finds out I'm too smart.
"Nope-no. Who says I think like that?" I'm nervous. My whole body feels cold.
"I said it, for it was written on your cheeks that began to turn red with shame."
Glekkk!
Again I could only swallow the salivary hearing Araf's words. I don't live with a random man, I live with a fortune teller who can easily read my mind.
A fortune teller? I'm really stupid, since when did I believe that. For I know that no one knows all the secrets that are hidden but Allah, who holds the soul.
I took a deep breath then exhaled it roughly from the lips. I'm trying to control my heart, I hope my heart won't jump out. Am I not overreacting? How can I say my heart will jump out.
Sabina Wijaya, you're such a fool. I muttered again in my heart while walking slowly towards the large bed.
"Is your heart racing?"
What other question is this? Why is Araf asking this stupid thing? I won't be able to answer her question as strongly as she's asking for it.
"Why would that happen? Nothing special until my heart will jump out of thump." Answer me affirm. Only me and my God know that I'm lying right now.
"Yes, I think you're right. Nothing special until your heart is beating. I'm a pity for thinking you'd be misbehaving in front of a man as handsome as myself." Araf was full of regrets.
It felt like there was a butterfly flying in my chest, I felt amused myself. I knew Araf was joking, somehow the joke sounded so sweet in my sense of hearing. Like getting a new spirit, unexpectedly and unexpectedly I hold the arm of Araf while staring at the light of his heart full of feeling.
The cessss!
This time my chest was pounding very hard, staring at the beautiful Netra mas Araf made me feel tense. I didn't know what Araf was thinking until he looked nervous.
"W-what are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything. I just looked at my handsome husband lovingly, why? Are you feeling nervous?" I said while holding my fingers Araf.
Sabina stop your silliness, you're the one who teases her, you're the one with flowers. What would you do if Araf scolded you? You won't be able to look into his eyes anymore. I murmured in my heart. Honestly, at this time I tried hard not to laugh off, inexplicably it felt very pleasant when teasing Araf and staring at his nervous face.
