Quiet Wife
24. The Answer to All Doubts

"Aah! I know!" Evelyn plucked a finger, making Naima's attention again turn to him.

"Know what?"

"here, deh. I whispered." Although Naima basically dislikes Evelyn, she still complies when Evelyn tells her to come closer to whisper something.

At first, Naima ogah-ogahan listened to Evelyn whisper. But over time, both corners of Naima's lips lifted into a sly smile.

"It's also a good idea!" Praise Naima. Evelyn's reflexes flicked her hair back while putting on a satisfied expression.

"Yes, dong! Evely!"

"So, where do we start?" Naima's question, made the smile on Evelyn's face fade.

"Well, kirain understands. In essence, you must try to make fake girls to keep away Calvin. It's up to you, want to immediately appear to your true identity as well. Importantly, keep him in check until he finally decides to walk away from Calvin's life." After that, I can start acting on Calvin's sketch again.

Once made silent for a while to weigh in, Naima finally began to decide one thing in her brain. "OKAY. Missing out on a girl like Naura, it's too easy for me. Lo look at it! In a moment, Calvin's gonna come back after me."

The heat! Before that happens, I will get Calvin first. Evelyn grumbled in her heart.

...****...

"Where? Is it okay now?" Hearing Naura again fell ill, Fani rushed home, even though she was still very busy taking care of the restaurant.

During the whole night yesterday, Fani was busy dealing with the problems at the restaurant.

Currently, Fani with her husband, Calvin was chatting in the family room. While Naura, the woman was on break to recover her stamina.

"Now it's better, Mah."

"Later if Naura wakes up, take her to the clinic, yeah! Though not long ago just healed, you know, the present is already sick again. Papa's afraid there's nothing with Naura." Timpal Divo, which was spontaneously answered by Calvin's breath.

"Yes, Vin! Why don't you just take Naura to the clinic, yesterday!" Anxious Fani, makes Calvin confused.

"The aura won't, Mah, Pah! He was forced to cry, too,"

"Seriously?" Ask Fani and Divo together. Again Calvin's furious sighs exhaled along with a slow nod.

"Don't ..."

"Don't-don't what?" Attention Divo and Calvin, immediately turned to look at Fani who began to put on a tense expression.

"Don't Naura ..."

"Well, don't be afraid, please!" Pinta Calvin, when Fani still did not say his words.

"Don't Naura be seriously ill, but she won't tell us!" Fani. And be Calvin of the mind.

"Maybe, Naura doesn't want her husband to worry." Divo Timpal. Makes Calvin even more unsettled in his place.

"Well, Dad! Please, deh! Ck, don't know ah! Want nyamperin Naura." Calvin, while getting up from the sofa left his faithful parents thinking hard.

...****...

When he opened the door, Calvin immediately ran towards Naura who was standing in front of the open window. One of his hands seemed to be hugging his flat stomach.

Is the pain back?

"Noe? Why, does her stomach hurt?"

As if completely shocked, Naura's reflexes hid her hands behind her back. A stiff smile and Naura showed it.

"No-no! I ... just accidentally daydreamed,"

"Related?" Ask Calvin. The reflex of his hand directly touched Naura's forehead, then continued to touch the area around her neck.

"Not hot. Still dizzy, right? Nausea, so?"

"I'm healthy, really. Huh!" Without a second thought, Naura began to turn around to prove her recovery.

"Eeh, you'll get dizzy, Nau!" Calvin quickly stops Naura. For whatever sake, Calvin was still very worried at the moment.

Although Naura said she was healthy, her face still looked pale. And that makes Calvin sure, if Naura still not fully recovered.

Shouldn't Calvin just go to college, huh, tomorrow?

"Em, Calvin!" Naura called Calvin. Making various daydreams in Calvin just like that.

"Hm, why? Is anyone sick?" Ask Calvin. His face became more anxious. Making Naura spontaneously laugh slowly.

"I'm not pa-pa! I just wanted permission,"

"Well, what permission do you want?"

"Hm, that. Wanna take a walk outside for a while. Fetid!" Naura. Unknowingly, Calvin again sighed when he heard it.

"It's late afternoon, you catch a cold, Nau!"

"So soon, please!"

No matter when exactly, it felt like Naura was getting spoiled for Calvin. When his wish was not instantly fulfilled, his face immediately pouted. Both of his eyes also looked teary. Makes Calvin so unbearable.

"Yes, I'm tense. Wear warm clothes, but!"

"okay! Wait, yeah! Change clothes first,"

"Hm." Calvin replied, resigned.

...****...

"Lho's? That's .. whose bike is it?" As Naura descends in pursuit of Calvin's earlier steps, Naura finds her husband trying a piece on the front porch.

Every now and then, Calvin would check the bike tires, front and rear brakes, and so on.

"Hm, I can." Without thinking, Naura approached Calvin who started riding a bicycle.

If you look around, it turns out that Calvin also changed his clothes with warm clothes. It looks much more relaxed especially when the bangs are left forward.

"Come, up!" Get Calvin. Calvin's unrelenting sweet smile showed, making Naura infected and elevate her smile.

Slowly, Naura climbed in the back seat. Both of his hands were hesitantly holding the end of Calvin's hoodie.

Calvin silently chuckled softly at that. "Get a tight hold, Nau!" Tell Calvin again, pulling one by one Naura's hands to circle around his waist.

After that, Calvin began to squeeze the bike out of the house area. His smile never faded as the two rode their bikes together.

The afternoon breeze swept across Naura's face. In fact, his hair that was left to be scattered was also flown. Every now and then, Naura would breathe in a deep air while closing her eyes. Unknowingly his hands were getting tighter and tighter hugging Calvin's waist.

While Calvin himself, he unceasingly kept glancing at Naura, still with a smile on his face. When the afternoon wind again blew, the feeling of excitement seemed to continue to overflow. Calvin quickly dabbled his bike fairly quickly around the complex streets.

"Slow down, scared!" Naura screeched, increasing her embrace of Calvin.

"Handle that!"

"Udah, but don't take the bike, it will fall!" Scream Naura again who would not want to be obeyed by Calvin.

Suddenly, Calvin braked his bike quite suddenly. Sobat Naura poked Calvin's back, making him look.

"Kok, stop?"

"Sit there, yuk!" Calvin pointed to a children's playground next to a mosque.

"But many children."

"No pa-pa. We're sitting on that bench over there! How's it?" Say Calvin again. His index finger pointed to a park bench that happened to be empty, because children were dominant in playing on several small rides.

"Yes already." Without asking any more, Naura started getting off the bike. Calvin starts parking his bike.

When finished, Calvin followed Naura who walked first. It didn't take long, the two began to sit on the bench. Staring around the complex playground that the atmosphere is quite crowded by children of various ages. In fact, some of them are still toddlers who are invited to play by their mothers.

Of course, the sight did not escape Naura's attention. His mind suddenly imagined one thing where later, he would also be like that. Unconsciously her hand raised touched her stomach which Naura only realized was a little bulging.

"You think, if you take care of a baby, what should we prepare?" Naura muttered softly, but her voice was clearly heard in Calvin's ears.

"Hm, much. The material is sure. The most important thing is mental readiness."

"Oh." Naura bit her lower lip, while taking a deep breath.

Honestly speaking. Feelings of hesitation to tell Calvin were increasingly intersecting in the chest.

"Ekhem. I-I suppose you were given one chance to have a baby. What do you think gi-gimana?" Naura desperately tried to be inconspicuous as she asked that question. Damn, his heart was beating. Fearful at times Calvin realized his words.

"If possible not now."

Naura felt her heart stop beating when she heard Calvin's reply. Trying to remain ordinary, Naura again asked a question.

"Why?"

"First, because it's not ready. Second, I have nothing. But if-"

"Ekhem. Pu-home, yuk! I want maghrib." Naura suddenly stood up, thus cutting off Calvin's words that had not yet been fully thrown out.

"Come on!" Unsuspecting, Calvin walked first to his bike. While Naura, the woman secretly wiped away the tears that were shed without being asked.

...****...

"You've already" Fani immediately paused her words, as Naura walked quickly enough towards the stairs. Once made to wonder, Fani's attention then turned to Calvin who seemed ordinary.

"Naura why? Really rushed?"

"She said kebelet." Calvin replied, to which Fani immediately embraced.

"Oohs. Kirain."

"Where's dad?" Calvin asked, before Fani returned to the kitchen.

"Take your brother at the airport!"

"He's a date? Today?"

"Yes. That's why my mom cooks so much. That gets along, yeah, Vin. Forget the past, now there's Naura." Fani's next speech, suddenly made Calvin's brain anchored to the memory of the past, where he and his brother had been brought to a love triangle conflict.

In retrospect, why did Calvin do that at the time? Really not adult.

"Calvin's going upstairs, Mah!" Calvin's head, which Fani nods back to.

...****...

The room suddenly felt empty. There was no sign of Naura being there. Think Calvin, maybe he's in the bathroom. And, Calvin's guess was right. Naura came out of there wearing a bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her head.

"With shampooing? You're only healed, Nau." Sahutan from Calvin, met with a glance by Naura. Without any intention of replying, Naura decided to continue her steps towards the wardrobe. There, Naura began to choose clothes that would be comfortable until later worn to sleep.

"Naura?" Feeling something different, Calvin walked over to Naura. Staring deeply at the look of his face that looks so focused on choosing clothes.

"Hm." It was only a reply from Naura without even turning her head to look at Calvin. Calvin's reflex grunts quietly with both arms folded in front of his chest.

"Nau"

"I'll change clothes first, Dad, just for a second." Without allowing Calvin to continue, Naura leaves Calvin for the bathroom.

Really, this isn't Calvin's gut feeling, is it? Why does it feel like Naura is keeping her distance?

"Gue ... There's something wrong, huh?"
