I got out of bed immediately went into the bathroom, I was practicing two rakaat obligatory worship. After the prayer I saw Mas Yusuf was ready to leave. The man's face still looked flat.
"Daddy, I'm going home first. If you need anything, let me know."
I just nodded and shook his hand, he just rubbed my head back and walked out of the room. Though it was still too early in the morning but why did he want to quickly leave. There was no discussion of the incident. Was he so disappointed and angry with me?
After storing the worship equipment. I was sitting on the couch, the scene from a few minutes ago still filling my brain. Why would Joseph want to do that to me? Is there a feeling of sadness for me? Honestly I don't want to be a hypocrite, I enjoy the touch of it. I unconsciously felt my lips imagining how Mas Yusuf was holding them.
My breath felt tight, my heart rumbled again, The touch was so gentle unlike any touch he had ever made while he was under the influence of medicine.
"Geez, why am I thinking about that? Ah, I hate this feeling so easy." I muttered to myself as I slapped my forehead, which sucks.
As usual, I stayed focused on my job, as a second wife I no longer expected much, I tried to sincerely live my life destiny.
As a week passed, Mas Yusuf began to manage the time to keep him fair to his two wives, I don't know if he has informed our relationship to Mbak Tiara, he said, because Joseph never talked about it again.
Yes, since the incident that morning until now his attitude is still cold and stiff. I don't know what to do, even Mas Yusuf accidentally slept on the sofa he purposely avoided to sleep in bed with me.
This morning I woke up later because it was a holiday, so after the morning prayers I went back to sleep. When I opened my eyes, a smile greeted my morning. The smile that had been gone for a few days was gone from my sight.
"Mas Joseph! How come the early mornings are already here, Mas?" my question while upholding my body and inching leaning on the head of the bed.
"Why? Can't I come too early?"
"Ah, ma-not Mas. It's just a wonder, it's never been that."
"Because it's a holiday, I have time for you. I want to take you for a walk, do you want to?" ask him that makes me not believe
"Hey, why dumbass? Don't want ya?"
"Ah, mom-no, yes I want to." I replied with a quick nod and a smile, as this was a rare thing. I also want refreshing to keep my brain fresh.
"Well, let's take a shower, I wait below ya," said Mas Yusuf, back with a smile on his thin lips. I just nodded and immediately headed for the bathroom.
After I finished preparing, I immediately went downstairs to meet Mas Yusuf, he was chatting with Papa and Mommy. I took their conversation so seriously.
"Are you ready, Deck?" joseph asked when he saw that I was in front of him.
I'm nodding. "Pa, Bun, I and Mas Yusuf asked for permission to take a short walk, yes, we will maintain the attitude" I said asking permission to my parents
"Go, Joseph has asked permission. Be careful watching around. Do not forget to use a mask. Papa gave a message.
Me and Mas Yusuf nodded obediently. We greet the hands of Papa and Mommy with reverence, when he arrived outside, Mas Yusuf opened the car door for me he had a greeting with the other ADC before entering and sitting on the steering wheel. Perhaps they were unsuspecting because they knew Mas Yusuf was still Papa's aide.
Now the car is traveling at medium speed, Mas Yusuf directs the car into a wash. "Wait here yeah Dek, I'll take the car." He immediately went out and entered the wash, not long after a car stopped beside the door where I was sitting.
"Kok exchanged his car Mas?" I was a little surprised.
"Liar safe Deck. Don't you wear this car? It's not as fancy as Papa's car."
"Ish, how do you say Mas? Who would object. I just want to ask what the reason is," I said a little annoyed with his attitude that always felt inferior. I never looked at him like that.
"Hehe... Joking Deck, bumil sensi amad." He rubbed my head gently, the moment our gazes met. To this day I do not know what his gaze means.
Now the car has driven out of the city of Padang. I don't know where he's taking me. I just watch the streets.
"Mas, where are we going?" my friend wants to make sure.
"We're going to the South Coast, right? Wanna go up to the top of Langkisau no?"
"Dare to go upstairs? Isn't it safe?" I ask who wants to make sure because the climb is so steep, if the condition of the car is not prime then it can be dangerous.
"God be safe, Dek."
"Hmm, okay. I haven't seen the kites' sport in a long time either." I agree to Joseph's invitation to go up the Langkisau hill.
From the city of Padang to our tourist destination, which takes an hour and a half drive. During the trip we still felt stiff, but I tried to stay calm even though my heart still thumped when with him.
I honestly never felt anything like this when I was close to any man. However, the charm of the father of my son makes my heart work more extra.
"Daddy, want to buy something? Later to snack at the top," he said breaking the silence.
"Hmm, may, later stop by the minimarket ya Mas."
"okkey. When did you resign from Dek Hospital?" tanyanya that deviated from the discussion.
"Wait to get a replacement doctor, Mas. Again, maybe by the end of this month the doctor has started work, and I'll be resigning."
He just nodded no longer asking. After a long journey, we finally reached the top of the hill.
After parking the vehicle, Mas Yusuf still as usual did not allow me to go down before he checked the surroundings. Once she felt safe enough, she opened the door for me.
When I went down and climbed on foot, I was immediately presented with the beauty of the scenery. It is clear that the beauty of the city of Painan, the hometown of Bundaku, can be seen from the island to the highway, as well as the high seas surrounding the city. Although the sky is a little cloudy but does not reduce its beauty.
"Come on Deck, we're sitting there." Mas Yusuf took me to sit in a courtyard overlooking the open sea, we could enjoy the view from a height.
Seriate....
Happy reading 🥰
