Tahajud Love
Chapter 38's
The moon has radiated its light when night has come. The clock on the wall still shows at six o'clock in the afternoon. And after the entire Yulian family prayed maghrib together, now their activities changed in the dining room to fill the stomach that had asked for rations.
Some dishes are already lined up on the table, foods that always have high protein nutrition are dishes that are always prioritized by the Yulian family.
”Hubby what side dishes would you like to take?” ask Khadijah.
Has lined the favorite side dishes of all family members, where there is fried chicken, grilled fish, roast meat and there are still more side dishes that become the main. And Yulian chose fried chicken with rice, vegetable tamarind and as a complement there is sambal terasi.
They ate with gusto, without the sound of the plate beating until it made a loud noise. And after dinner, Khadijah cleaned the rest of the dishes and the food they had eaten.
”Light help yes, Mother!”
”No need Light, let Mother alone clean everything. There is also an Inem bik that will help Mother. You rest,”
There is no objection from the Light, for it obeys what Khadijah says. And it just so happened that night Light felt his body was so tired, needed enough rest when his pregnancy was getting bigger. So the Light decided to sit while watching TV accompanied by Hafizha.
-------
”Bik, later when it's done everything I want can talk for a moment?”
”Come, but what do you want to say, Madam?”
”Do not call Madam, just call Khadijah. Think of me as the daughter of bik Inem.” Bik Inem smiled as he nodded slowly.
The work in the kitchen was finally over. Now in the side room sits Khadijah in Inem's bik. They were chatting lightly, which made Khadijah feel comfortable as when talking to his own mother. Even Khadijah told his household problems to Inem's monk, because Khadijah believed Inem's bik would keep his secret.
”Khadija, who has a heart and feelings it is not just a woman. Men also have it, which should be taken care of by his wife. And the problem of doing that duty .. bibik doesn't know what to say. You have to think about it yourself preferably the wife how.”
Inem's gentle speech had made Khadijah speechless and contemplated the mistake he had done to Yulian. Tat kala she has not fulfilled her obligations as a wife to the fullest. And again Khadijah asked Allah for the best way to be facilitated in all his affairs, including wanting to make Julian happy as her husband.
-------
”Hubby,” call Khadijah down.
Yulian who was busy in front of the laptop screen instantly cast her gaze after hearing a soft voice calling out to her. Then, Yulian decided to close her laptop and end her work. Because listening to what a wife is going to talk about is a way of appreciating her as a woman.
”What's up, just say it!”
”Humaira would like to apologize if earlier .. jealousy has taken control of Ira's heart and even ... until angry with Hubby.”
Yulian chuckled amusedly at the word jealousy which represented the love Khadijah had for her. It was unexpected that Khadijah expressed his jealousy directly to Yulian.
Khadijah nodded slowly, acknowledging the truth that Yulian had told him. And now there is no more contention or pent-up feeling, except to tear down the fortifications that are still solid. Similarly to Yulian, he did not want Khadija to feel disappointed if he forced Khadija to immediately satisfy his desires.
”Listen to Hubby for a moment. Any mature woman, they are the same.” Khadija rounded his eyes.
”Means, Hubby?”
For a moment Yulian smiled faintly, and then his fingers grabbed Khadijah's fingers. And his gaze was so shady, making Khadijah feel comfortable while in that gaze.
”iya, the woman will be sad when not appreciated .. will be sad when someone dear changes .. will be sad when lied to, no matter how small. Because they feel appreciated starting from small things.” Khadijah was amazed as the sentence was softly thrown from Yulian.
”Therefore, Hubby chose to stop his work and then .. listen to Ira speak. Right, like that?”
”True.” Khadijah smiled listening to the truth.
After all the sense of ego is gone, Yulian now acts with the painting he bought earlier from Mr. Yudas. With the help of Abdullah Yulian brought the two paintings to his room. And it made everyone feel astonished by what Yulian was doing. Even Arjuna who saw it wondered who and what the painting was for?
”Abi, who is it for and what is it for?”
”This is for Abi and your Mother. And Abi wanted to put it on display in Abi's room, so that your Mother was sensitive to the meaning drawn from this painting.”
”Bwahahaha..”
Suddenly Abdullah's laughter broke out after Yulian said what was his goal. Because Abdullah knew, how the household relationship between Yulian and Khadijah so far. But that doesn't mean Abdullah's a know-it-all, you know. It could be known by Abdullah because Yulian always told him about the romance story and the fortress that had been built. And Yulian trusted Abdullah, because Abdullah was the one who always gave him good words.
”But, not so much, Abi. Surely Mommy will also be sensitive if Abi pepetin continues his mother.” whispered Arjuna.
Although Arjuna's voice was slow, but still able to be heard by Abdullah's sharp ears. So that makes Abdullah even more marginalized. Not only Abdullah, Arjuna also chuckled with the absurd behavior of Abinya. While Yulian, he only scratched his nape that did not itch while grinning.
”Ah already, after all have also been to buy, right. It's okay to stay on display in the room.”
Yulian still wanted to display the two paintings in her room. And arriving at Yulian's room immediately displayed on the wall with spikes to strengthen its outboard power. After being lined up, Yulian breathed a sigh of relief. He felt tired and his energy had drained while displaying the painting on the wall. Even sweat was pouring out on his temple.
’Why is this so late just install the painting only.’ Inner Yulian.
”Yulian, if it is finished and you do not need my help anymore .. I want permission to go out first.” Yulian nodded.
And now only Yulian himself was in the room. Because Khadijah still accompanied Hafizha to buy ice cream with Inem's bik in the front supermarket. So Khadijah did not know what Yulian had done at home. And do not know how Khadijah expression after seeing the painting displayed in his room.
