Pursuing the Love of My Wife Kirana
Get Close

The alarm on Zaidan's phone rang, making Zaidan wake up from his sleep, with his eyes drowsy, he got up from the sofa.

"Aw, my back" ringis Zaidan because his back hurts from sleeping on the sofa.

Zaidan looked at Kirana whom he had just married, The woman was still fast asleep with a blanket covering part of her body.

"What if he doesn't go to the office? But he was the boss ah already" after arguing with his own mind, Zaidan went to the bathroom to take ablution water and carry out his habit from childhood, namely qiyamul lail.

Before worship, Zaidan wakes up Kirana who is still sleeping soundly, possibly the effects of yesterday's soy sauce.

"Kirana woke up, you didn't do qiyamul lail? Wake heh!" said Zaidan gently while shaking Kirana's body wrapped in a blanket quietly.

Slowly Kirana's eyes opened, Zaidan immediately got up and away from Kirana's bed, he immediately held a prayer mat regardless of Kirana who was still sleepy.

"What time is it?" he said it and was ignored by Zaidan.

"Zaidan didn't you hear my question!?" kirana continued and made Zaidan shocked because his wife raised her voice.

"You didn't ask me, and I didn't feel the need to answer" Zaidan said casually and then solemnly observed his evening service.

While Kirana, she got out of her bed and headed to the bathroom to take ablution. After Zaidan finished the night prayer, it was Kirana's turn to perform the night prayer.

The handsome man took the Quran and repeated his memorization, he was not a graduate of pesantren, but his determination to be a reciter of the Koran in the midst of his friends were cool with worldly worth in the thumbs up. Zaidan repeated his memorization in a very soft and gentle voice, not wanting to disturb Kirana who was solemn in his prayer.

Kirana finished performing the evening prayer, she looked at her husband who was reading the Koran there was awe in her heart, but Kirana immediately brushed off the feeling. Kirana averted her eyes after being stared back at by Zaidan, she immediately tidied up her prayer gear and sat down on the sofa where Zaidan slept last night.

"Do you want to pray here or in the mosque?" asked Zaidan after closing the qur'an mushaf.

Kirana took a quick glance and said "Mosque, in a moment! There is still time for me to sit here for a while" Kirana said coldly.

Zaidan just sighed softly, he prepared the clothes for Kirana and himself to wear to the mosque. Zaidan took a navy-colored cocoa dress combined with gray added to the elegant impression in the cocoa shirt and navy-colored dress combined with gray and mukena for Kirana.

"Why did you prepare for all that?" kirana asked, breaking the silence between the two.

"Don't get me wrong! I'm just doing my duty as a husband" Zaidan said.

Kirana ignored the word Zaidan, he went to pick up a dress that had been prepared by Zaidan.

Zaidan just put his shoulder to look at Kirana who was in a hurry to pick up the clothes he had prepared, even though a few minutes ago Kirana seemed to be casually playing her phone.

Kirana had changed clothes, she was very beautiful wearing the navy-colored robe, Zaidan smiled at Kirana, but his smile disappeared when he got the words of Kirana.

"Well, you'll fall in love! And I will never repay that love!" kirana said then went out of the room to go to the mosque.

After finishing the morning prayer Kirana returned home and was immediately accepted by Zaidan who had arrived home, Kirana gave up her hand and was not accepted by Zaidan, the guy just stood in the courtyard of the door after opening it.

Kirana shook her hands to be immediately kissed by Zaidan, but Zaidan did not immediately kiss her, leaving Kirana.

"Where are you going!?" kirana said in the doorway waiting for Zaidan to kiss Zaidan's hand.

Zaidan ignored Kirana's call, he continued walking towards the kitchen

"Whoever told you to sleep on the couch!" zaidan said grumbling in annoyance.

Kirana followed Zaidan towards the kitchen, the silence between the two did not open any voices. Zaidan who could not stand the silent atmosphere immediately asked how the cuisine was.

"Where is Kirana's food? Tastier? Sorry for that, I will kiss you later" said Zaidan with a smile and make anyone who saw it will melt.

"Hm" Kirana just cleared her throat and did not pay attention to the words of her husband, actually when at the mosque was Kirana had intended to accept Zaidan as her legal husband, he said, although after a year he will ask for Zaidan's release but at least, he will not be blamed for not being nice to the man. However, Kirana is upset about not being welcomed by her husband and makes him change his mind and return to his original plan.

Ding dong

The sound of the bell shocked the two of them who were busy eating, without chatting anything. Zaidan wanted to open the door and see who was coming but was immediately stopped by Kirana.

"Sit down and let me open!" kirana said flatly and immediately left to see who had come.

Zaidan, who had followed his wife's steps, could not help but follow his wife's steps.

Zaidan arrived at the living room displaying a figure he was following and with two middle-aged people walking in front of him.

"Who's coming?" ask Zaidan pleasantiously with a sweet smile.

Kirana who knows Zaidan's eye cues to pretend that their marriage is going well immediately understands what he has to do.

"Father and Mother, Mas" said Kirana smiling and being beside Zaidan made both parents Kirana smile.

"Dad, Mother" Zaidan went straight to her in-laws and kissed the back of her in-laws' hands, as a good daughter-in-law Zaidan deserved to do.

"How are you, son? Kirana wasn't rude to you, was she?" carissa asked Zaidan and Zaidan shook his head slowly with a smile.

Zaidan was eager to say that Kirana was so rude to him for telling Zaidan to sleep on the sofa, not really being told anyway, rather Zaidan insisted.

"Zaidan good mother, mother same father how are you? Did mom and dad have breakfast yet? If not, it just so happens that we are both having breakfast, having breakfast with yuk bun, well" said Zaidan with a friendly smile, he did not want to make his in-laws know how cold Kirana was to him, and it was fitting that Zaidan shut down his wife's disgrace, that's what Naura's mother taught him.

"It just so happens that I haven't had breakfast yet, son, and this is my chance to taste your cooking, which your father says is delicious" Aarav said with a crisp laugh.

They all arrive at the dining table, Zaidan serves his two in-laws before being pulled by Kirana into the room.

"Dad, Mother, Kirana pinjem mas Zaidan bertar ya" Kirana said and immediately pulled the rough hands of Zaidan, making his parents shake their heads.

Arriving in the room, Zaidan tried to release his wrists that had been red due to the grip by Kirana.

"Please! My hand hurts!" zaidan said curtly and finally his wrist was released by Kirana.

"Dad's gonna stay here for a week! So, I need your help" Kirana said still with her flat expression.

"Help? What help?" ask Zaidan in wonder.

"Hem I want when in front of you later, act as if I love you very much, just in front of you!" kirana emphasized her last sentence.

"If I don't want to?" asked Zaidan to raise his eyebrows and add to the hot aura of Zaidan.

"You should do that! It's orders! Shouldn't a husband obey his wife's orders!?" kirana clutched tightly onto Zaidan's arm and made Zaidan grimace, as if he had misspoken with Kirana.

"Yes, yes! Letting go first, it hurts" said Zaidan shriveled and rubbed the arm held by Kirana.

After talking to Zaidan, Kirana went to the bathroom to change clothes because she was still wearing a robe to the mosque.

Zaidan is still faithfully waiting for his wife to come out of the bathroom, not without reason, Zaidan also wants to go to the bathroom. Kirana likes to linger in the bathroom, inversely with Zaidan who only takes 20 minutes to bathe.

When Kirana came out of the bathroom, the first look she saw was Zaidan, because the guy was in front of her to get inside the bathroom, immediately Kirana got out of the way and let the guy in.

Kirana tried to raise a shirt zipper first when Kirana was not married Adrian helped her but now she is married so Adrian is not likely to help her.

Zaidan who saw his wife was having trouble to raise the zipper, Zaidan took the initiative to help her.

"Why Kirana" said Zaidan

"Please raise the zipper my shirt was stuck" Kirana said

Zaidan raises Kirana's shirt zipper, he also beats Kirana by rubbing Kirana's back and making Kirana grimace.

"Aw, don't Mas" ringis Kirana and make Zaidan laugh.

Zaidan looked at Kirana's face and made Kirana misbehave, Kirana cleared her throat then moved away from Zaidan.

" Thank you" Kirana said as she combed her hair.

" Hm is equally beautiful" said Zaidan

After combing her hair, Kirana went down to leave for the office with her parents and Zaidan. Kirana's gaze caught a figure of a married man who was chatting lightly with his parents. Kirana approached them.

"Where are you going?" carissa asked in surprise when she saw that her eldest daughter was dressed neatly.

"To the bun office, there is a meeting that Kirana can not delay" replied Kirana tidying her hair and wearing heels.

"You're still newlyweds, you can't wait till the day after tomorrow, son? Kasian loh Zaidan, newly married has been left at work" said Carissa while stroking the back of Zaidan's hand.

Zaidan stared at Kirana's irritated look, told to stay home. Eventually Zaidan took the initiative to support his wife going to the office.

"Zaidan is okay mother, Kirana there is a meeting that can not be disturbed" said Zaidan, smiling at Carissa.

"Well, Zaidan also did not mind really, bun if that's how Kirana went first yes, assalamu'alaikum" said Kirana up from her seat and kissed the back of the hands of her mother and father, her father, kirana also kissed Zaidan's hand

Kirana walked towards the door followed by Zaidan behind her, Kirana turned towards Zaidan and kissed Zaidan's cheek suddenly making Zaidan flinch.

"Thank you for helping me up my zipper and also belain me in front of the mother" said Kirana smiled faintly even Zaidan could not see the smile.

"Yes Kirana, but why did you kiss me?" asked Zaidan who was curious and ended in heartache.

"Don't baper! Mother was looking at us!" connect Kirana with a cold and flat face.

Zaidan is upset that he thinks that Kirana has started to change, but the fact is no, Kirana is still as cold as last night.

Zaidan let out a long sigh, and he entered after Kirana left the courtyard of the mansion using her black sedan car.

"Dad is also saying yes son, there is a meeting this morning, your mother let it be here for a week to accompany you, son Zaidan do not mind right?" aarav asked Zaidan, who had blushed from being kissed by Kirana.

"It's okay, even Zaidan seneng there was a meeting" said Zaidan smiling cheerfully.

Aarav leaves the wife for a week to spy on their eldest daughter's wedding.

Zaidan is only two at home with Carissa's mother, he was still hesitant even though he had a chat.

"Zaidan, here sitting near my mother" called Carissa to Zaidan who was cutting vegetables for lunch, Zaidan immediately obeyed his orders and stopped the activity of cutting vegetables.

Zaidan sat next to his in-laws "What's the bun? Mommy needs something?' asked Zaidan with an awkward smile.

"Mother doesn't need anything, kid, Kirana's attitude to you how's son?" carissa asked and made Zaidan stunned, he was confused as to what to answer.

"Kirana is good" Zaidan replied hesitantly.

"Don't lie son, you know Kirana's attitude how Kirana must be indifferent to you right?" carissa asked with an intimidating look, Zaidan who was looked at was so stunned by surprise, but immediately changed the look on his face so that his mother-in-law did not feel worried.

"Maybe Kirana is still awkward to Zaidan, mother" Zaidan chuckled after discovering what he was going to say.

"You're patient with Kirana's attitude, son. Kirana is like her father, in the early days of marriage Aarav's father never smiled at his mother, even we had a split" explained Carissa, Zaidan who heard him just silent and confused to say what.

"First mother and father also never chatted together, we look familiar if there is a grandfather and grandmother Kirana aja" continued Carissa stroked the top of Zaidan's head.

Zaidan looked at his father-in-law gently and affectionately "But it seems like now father is very affectionate with mother?" ask Zaidan in wonder.

"Yes, after a year of marriage you can change the attitude of cool and indifferent father Aarav with full attention, where are there men who are not in the same woman's attention? Even an iceberg like Aarav's father was a melt away." Carissa replied blushingly as she recalled past events.

' Oh means the cold attitude is derived, can I be patient mother Carissa in the face of Kirana's attitude? O Allah strengthen the heart of the servant ' murmured Zaidan in the heart after hearing the story of his father-in-law.

Zaidan was daydreaming, thinking whether he would be able to win Kirana's heart or if this marriage would end after a year? Ah I don't know if Zaidan is dizzy thinking about that.

“Nak” call Carissa on a dreamy Zaidan.

Zaidan was surprised and immediately turned to his mother-in-law "Yes mother"

"Why are you daydreaming? I'm not thinking, later mother help Kirana love you" seduced Carissa and Zaidan just blushed embarrassed.

"Oh yeah bun, Kirana likes what cooking? Let Zaidan make it for lunch" Zaidan asked excitedly, as Zaidan was very fond of cooking, so this time he wanted to cook lunch for his wife.

"Kirana likes honey-baked chicken and sauteed broccoli, but Kirana rarely eats lunch at home, Kirana was leaving early in the morning home late at night" Carissa replied to Zaidan's disappointment, she was excited to cook.

"Hem yaudah, if so, what would you like for lunch? Let Zaidan makein" said Zaidan dismissed his disappointment.

"We cook fried fish as well as kale sauteed kak" Carissa replied and made Zaidan smile, the man eagerly went into the kitchen, but his steps had to stop because someone rang the bell.

Zaidan walked towards the main door, before opening the door Zaidan took a first look at the small camera mounted on the door. Zaidan was warned by Kirana to always be alert and see who came before opening it.

After looking from a small camera, Zaidan opened his door and appeared a middle-aged woman who if guessed the age of Carissa's mother.

"Sorry, can I help you?" asked Zaidan politely and smiled.

"Master must be Miss Kirana's husband, right? Introduce me bi Inem household assistant here" he said introduce himself.

Zaidan simply smiled and invited the middle-aged woman in.

'Why doesn't Kirana know me? How insignificant am I to you Kirana?' Zaidan wondered to himself.

"Oh yes sir. Miss said, you can't do homework, let aunty who is struggling" continued bi Inem, Zaidan nodded and thought how could the middle-aged woman clean a house this big, Zaidan, there's-there's Kirana.

Zaidan blushed in embarrassment at the words of his house assistant.

'It turns out Kirana's attention was also ' murmured Zaidan blushed.

"Nothing bi, later Zaidan help, oh yes call Zaidan aja not master" said Zaidan chuckled and he introduced bi Inem to his in-laws.

"Bun, this is bi Inem, said Kirana bi Inem, the housekeeper here, bi Inem, this is Carissa's mother" said Zaidan, introducing the two, they both spoke briefly before bi Inem carried out his work.

While Zaidan, he prepared foodstuffs to cook lunch as his in-laws requested. Bi Inem who saw Zaidan would cook immediately forbade him, due to orders from Kirana who did not allow Zaidan to do household chores.

"Oh sir, how do you cook? Udah tuan temeni miss Carissa aja, let aunt who cook" said bi Inem and rejected gently by Zaidan.

"Nothing kok bi, Zaidan likes to cook if not busy, after all Zaidan bosen usual if at this hour rs busy again busy" said Zaidan chuckle and continue the activity of cutting kale, kale, zaidan's intention earlier, he wanted to cook capcay but his in-laws wanted to be cooked sauteed kale and Zaidan obeyed his in-laws.

"Later to be scolded by miss, sir" continued bi Inem with a worried face.

"Would not be scolded Kirana kok bi, later Zaidan who told Kirana" continued Zaidan calm bi Inem who was worried, afraid if scolded by Kirana.

Before starting cooking, Zaidan typed a message into Kirana. Zaidan is looking for the name of Zaidan's contact named 'My wife💖'

[Kirana, that bi Inem has come to our house]

After a few minutes Zaidan immediately got a short message reply from Kirana.

My wife 💖: Yes

Zaidan who read the short message immediately scowled annoyed, he thought that Kirana would say as bi Inem said.

"Why is he iceberg cake anyway? The everest mountain!" sumpat Zaidan and he continued to cut the chili.

Zaidan coolly cut the chili and his hand accidentally sliced along making Zaidan grimace in pain.

"Aw" ringis Zaidan who saw his hand had been sliced by a knife, Zaidan swiftly doused his hand with running water even though it was painful.

Bi Inem who saw the blood on Zaidan's finger panicked, because he was afraid that he would be scolded by Kirana even though Kirana had warned him not to let Zaidan work.

"Sir is okay?" tanya bi Inem panicked and immediately picked up the p3k box.

Zaidan shook his head and chuckled "Zaidan is fine, just a small wound can be cooked, not to the iris anything less, hehe..."

"This is the master in using plaster so that there is no infection" continued bi Inem put the plaster on Zaidan's finger.

"Still bi" said Zaidan and continued his cooking activities.

After a few minutes of struggling in the kitchen, finally Zaidan's cooking was finished, he took off the apron and cleaned all the kitchen utensils.

Zaidan went to the living room to see his mother-in-law and told her that the cooking was done.

"Bun, Zaidan's cooking is ready, you want to eat now?" zaidan asked, remembering that the clock had indicated the time for lunch.

"Mother is still full son, you eat first nggih" replied Carissa who was reading the book.

"Zaidan is also still full, bun" Zaidan replied as he pulled out his phone checking if there were incoming messages from Kirana, apparently none.

Zaidan leaned his head against the back of the chair and placed his phone roughly on the nightstand.

Zaidan pouted, he felt bored all day at home because Zaidan was used to the boisterous atmosphere in the hospital.

Carissa, who knew her son-in-law was pouting, closed the book she read and stroked Zaidan's head.

"Zaidan why?" carissa's question made Zaidan stunned.

"Zaidan is okay, just kind of bored because usually it's this hour, rush hour in the hospital, hehe" Zaidan replied with a small laugh.

"Nothing will also get used to it, you also have to get used to living independently without Kirana because Kirana often comes home late, so if you can't do anything yourself, it's difficult son" carissa advised Zaidan and Zaidan only smiled at her in-laws.

"Yes mother Zaidan to the room first yes bun, want to shower continue to be ready for dzuhur prayer" said Zaidan and get a nod from his in-laws.

Zaidan stayed in the room, as there was not much he could do but cook and clean the room. Zaidan took the quran mushaf and repeated his recitation, the man was very happy murojaah and this was a golden opportunity for him to murojaah. After repeating his memorization, Zaidan performed the dzuhur prayer in his room.
