"Is there a problem?" The guard sat beside Nadin. Since then the girl sat pensively facing the open window of the room. Showing the beauty of the night sky.
"Have you finished your work?" Nadin asked back. His head turned to the side. Looking at the Guard who was sitting quietly beside him. The eyes with those perfectly thick eyebrows looked dim. "Well, huh, Mas?" ask Nadin again.
The guard stared straight out the window. His breathing sounded slow. "You don't believe me yet?" ask the Guard suddenly.
Nadin was confused to hear the question. Now her body is tilted until she can face her husband fully. "Kok my husband said that," said Nadin with a spoiled tone of his mainstay.
Garda glanced at Nadin at a glance. "You've got a problem, right?"
"Nobody, Dana," replied Nadin in a soft voice.
"But someone else is bothering you?" ask the Guard again.
Nadin was silent for a while before shaking sure. "There's nothing, Mom. I'm fine" replied Nadin confidently.
"I noticed after moving you so often diem," said Garda with a flat look.
It's been a few days since they moved. The Guard often found Nadin who looked brooding. Then when he realized the arrival of the Guard, the girl immediately acted fine.
"Diem because I don't know what to say, Mas Dana," replied Nadin. Threw her husband's burly hands with a smile that did not stop on the air.
"If there is something disturbing can talk to your husband Nadin," Garda said with a flat look.
Nadin smiled so widely to find the sweet sentence. "Thank you for the same attention I have, yes, Mas" said Nadin with a hand held tightly to the Guard's hand.
The Guard was quite silent without giving a reply. The man chose to move from his seat until Nadin's hand was released. "Sleep, it's night" the Guard said before leaving Nadin.
...
Guard exits the bathroom wearing his signature sweatshirt and shorts. His face was fresh after the shower. Her dark hair also looks wet.
The charming lips belonging to the man were slightly interested in forming an arch. He saw a girl with a slender body who sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed.
The new clock shows at 03:00. For the guard to wake up in a third of the night has become commonplace. Another with that. It has been a few days Nadin tried to follow the activities of the Guard. Although after the tahajud prayer the girl will sleep and wake up at dawn.
"Wudhu first, Nad," said the Guard while wearing a cocoa shirt and sarong.
"He's awake" replied Nadin still half conscious.
The guard shook his head in wonder. The man walked over to Nadin. He lowered his head to face Nadin.
"Hey, wudhu first," said the Guard in a flat voice.
Nadin was aghast with his eyes instantly wide open. His face looked surprised with his mouth open. "Ngagetin knows," said Nadin.
"No need to take a shower, the water machine is broken" the Guard said before moving on to take the prayer mats.
Without waiting for a long time Nadin immediately ran a small towards the bathroom. The girl brushed her teeth for a moment. Usually Nadin chose to take a bath first following the habits of the Guard. This time, he raised his hand. Right said Garda, the water machine in his house is dead. There was no warm water this morning.
Nadin came out with a fresher appearance. The girl could see her husband was already sitting on the prayer mat. While behind him has been neatly titled a prayer mat with a fold of mucena on it.
"Was that shower?" nadin asked while wearing a mukena.
"Yes" answered the makeshift Guard. The man stood in front of Nadin. Started the prayer with his wife.
After completing the prayer tahajut Garda chose to read the Quran. His body was rested on the bed with Nadin sitting sweetly next to him. The girl was even more made sleepy to hear the sweet voice of the Guard.
Not long after his clear eyes closed. The girl's head was accidentally tilted to the point of leaning against the Guard's arm. Make the chanting of the holy verse of his Quran stopped for a moment.
Does his flat attitude make his wife hurt. Or Garda who can not do romantic things make Nadin disappointed. Especially the girl who was later always daydreaming. Honestly, the Guard often thought about it. Getting out of your comfort zone is not easy either.
...
Nadin serves a plate of fried rice and a glass of warm milk. According to her husband's request, today Garda's breakfast menu is fried rice.
"My husband eats alone first, yeah. Your wife wants to prepare first," said Nadin with a powerful tone.
Garda received the plate of fried rice silently. Just eat his wife's cooking. The taste is always the same, never to disappoint the tongue of the Guard.
Nadin who had memorized the Garda habits immediately moved. The girl immediately took the container that belonged to her husband. Arrange some side dishes and also rice. For her husband's provisions Nadin cook sauteed mushrooms and chicken soy sauce.
When her husband is ready. The girl came back to the Guard. "Already for handsome lecturers are ready," said Nadin ceria.
The guard looked up at Nadin's presence. His mouth that was still busy chewing remained closed. This time his head nodded in response.
"Mas Dana," called Nadin while holding her husband's arm.
"What?" ask the Guard who is still enjoying his breakfast.
"I started to stay home" complained the spoiled Nadin.
The guard stopped the chewing for a moment. Then looked at Nadin's face that looked more beautiful. "You want to go to college again?" ask the Guard after swallowing his food.
"Why, anyway, keep taking the lecture?" nadin asked with a frown on his forehead. "Yes, yes, I'm ashamed to have an uneducated wife" Nadin recalls.
"Even if anyone is ashamed, you should" said the sharp Guard.
Nadin was surprised by the words of the Guard. Her hands slowly moved away from her husband's arms. "Mas Dana said that," said Nadin. Her cherry face instantly dimmed for this morning.
"There are no barriers to going to college. But you wasted it instead, and chose to get married and become a housewife. Though many of the people who want to go to college but can't." The long words from the Guard were quite piercing for Nadin.
Without anyone asking. Those normally sparkling clear eyes were now flushed red. Nadin looked at the Guard with teary eyes. There was a bit of pain running through Nadin's heart right now.
"Mas doesn't know anything" said Nadin full of disappointment.
The Guard stared back at Nadin's teary eyes. The man showed off a flat face with his sharp gaze. Stare at the white face of Nadin who had been flushed with sticky.
"You know for yourself. I don't know anything about my own wife" the Guard said calmly. "I need to know about you" continued the Guard.
Nadin shifted his gaze from the Guard. The girl rubbed her rough tears that were almost dripping. Shame was shedding tears in front of the man.
"I know a lot of things that you hide from me, Nadin," the Guard said.
His hand grabbed Nadin's tiny fingers. Carrying the fingers to hold in his lap. "I'm sad that you keep quiet like this. I feel useless. I'm your husband, Nadin. You can share all your troubles with me. I'm confused, I don't know what's wrong with my wife."
Nadin became increasingly sobbing to hear the long speech of her husband. Her cries broke even more as the man carried Nadin into his warm embrace. At that moment Nadin was crying. Spilling her pain and confusion all this time.
"I'm sorry for my words. I'm upset because you always try to be okay in my depam" Garda said slowly. His hand held onto Nadin tightly.
"You can share with me. I don't want you to feel it for yourself" the Guard continued.
Slowly Nadin replied to the Guard's hand. The warm embrace she had just felt after about a month of being the man's wife. It feels a little calm. Especially when Garda rubs his hair slowly
"Don't feel alone. Kan, there I am."
