The Adjutant
Slow Taste

Adela's eyes opened which was still very heavy, a noise in the middle room made her wake up early.

Adela felt something heavy, as a chasing hand hugged her like a bolster.

Slowly Adela raised her hand but it was getting tighter.

"Mas, your hands. " Say Adela quietly.

But Raiz did not hear only a subtle snoring. Adela's eyes stared at her husband's natural face, not feeling his smile expand when looking at Raiz's face. Adela's hands were raised to touch her face, but her hands were pulled back and her smile faded.

"You're not mine, I don't deserve this. Maybe a wonderful moment like this is our last moment." Adela said in her heart and closed her eyes again.

But a rowdy voice rang out again and Raiz's eyes opened. Unknowingly her hands were still coiled in Adela's stomach.

"Del, what noise? " Tanya Raiz with her typical wake-up voice.

"I don't know, I'll wake up. " Answer Adela.

As Adela is about to wake up, Raiz realizes her hands are still coiled in Adela's stomach.

"Sorry, sorry unintentionally. " Say Raiz raised his hand and immediately got up from the top of the bed.

"Don't bring it, later if you come can be angry. " Said Nuri's Mother.

"Eh, look at the crystal is also a lot of not just one. The stingy part is very, the same time is very stingy. " Snapped by Sukma's Mother.

"But it's a big price." Said Mother Nuri trying to take a horse-shaped decoration made of crystal.

"H maid, this crystal for them has no price if you know missing one must buy again. " Said Mia who was nodded by Mother Sukma.

"What's the morning - morning storm? " Schal Raiz.

"This is Raiz, your in-laws took the crystal to bring home." Said Mother Nuri.

"Raiz, I only asked for one. Can you?" Say Mother Sukma.

"That's who bought Mamah you Raiz, if you know it must be angry. " Said Nuri's Mother.

"Mom, put the crystal back. Adela also can't afford to buy those little crystals that are exorbitant prices." Adela.

"You're why, so people are stingy." Bentak Ibu Sukma's.

"Have not fuss over a small problem, just take the ma'am just bring one. Later if mamah looking just tell me, I broke the crystal. " Raiz said, leaving them all.

"Mom, you can't make trouble. You better pack your things quickly and remember don't take anything else that's here to take home." Adela said upset and died her mother and sister.

"What do you want again? " Snapped Mother Sukma to Mother Nuri.

"You should be ashamed of your son-in-law and son." Said Ibu Nuri then left Sukma and Mia.

"Uh. Basics, housekeeping assistants are alone. " Sukma's Mother.

"Mas, I'm sorry. " Said Adela.

"Sorry for what? " Raiz said while buttoning up his safari uniform.

"Mas knows how my mother behaved with my half-sister. I now know why Bang Irfan's parents rejected me."

Raiz looked towards Adela who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and crouched face to face with Adela.

"Mas doesn't matter to them, the person isn't thinking too much." Raiz.

"As long as there is no limit unless it is beyond the new limit, Mas will be reprimanded." Raiz said back.

"Hopefully, my future faith will be like Mas Raiz. And not only love me but love my family."

"God willing, you will get more than what you said."

"Thank you, sir."

"Samely, we're out soon Sony's coming and will take them to the station."

****

"It's no money for you guys, sorry I can't get you to the station." Raiz.

"Thank you, brother, sorry to bother. " Said Mr. Sharif.

"We will definitely tell you later, greetings to besan." Say Mother Sukma.

"Let me give you my regards."

"An hour on the train, we'll have to hurry." Sony Said.

"Heart - heart. " Said Raiz.

"We say goodbye son, Adela Daddy Mom and Mia saying goodbye. " Said Mr. Sharif.

"Heart - heart. " Say Adela while kissing the back of the hand of Mr. Syarif and Ms. Sukma.

*****

"Yes Mah, I'll go home." Raiz said and immediately closed his phone.

"Adela my schedule after this what? " Tanya Raiz while operating her phone.

"The schedule is no longer there today, until tomorrow after empty." Answer Raiz.

"Hallo Yank, are you ready to wait in front of the office? Mas glide there yes because Mother's father is at the house of Mamah Papah, they have an impromptu meeting." Raiz said from a phone call.

"It's ready - ready Mas, I wait in front ya. " Say Anita from across.

"Pak Amir, to Bapeda's office. " Said Raiz.

"Ready Sir. " Said Mr. Amir.

Sony moved to sit in Patwal's car, as well as Adela when Anita got into the car Office Raiz.

"Why did we move Mas? " Task Adela to Sony.

"Their privacy, there's only Mr. Amir." Answer Sony.

Instantly Adela's heart ached a little and suddenly her face became clouded.

"Dispose far - far away the taste that exists today." Sony's words arrived - arrived and very touching.

Adela just stood still and turned her face towards the window.

The car arrived at Raiz's parents' house, and Raiz asked everyone to come down and have lunch together.

"It's a core issue for both families, let us have lunch outside." Sony Said.

"Eat, not one table you all eat here. There will be someone for all of you." Raiz.

"Ok, thanks. We all happen to be hungry too. " Say Sony.

"Then I'm the same Anita goes inside. " Raiz said walking in and Anita clutching Raiz's hand.

*****

"Why do you eat a little? " Sony asked Adela while they were all eating on the gazebo.

"Done, just wanted a drink." Answer Adela.

"Bu Adela eats a lot, rarely eats here. " Said Mr. Amir.

"If full how can you enter sir." Adela said back.

"The family of Mr. Raiz is well known, especially Mr. Raiz. Deserve Mr. Raiz like that because of the descent of his parents. " Said Anton a policeman who escorts Raiz everywhere.

"I am also lucky to be able to escort the Regent who is good naudzubillah." Said Rizal a policeman too.

*****

Adela came out of the bathroom after she felt like urinating, and accidentally Adela passed the family room.

Raiz's smile and his attention to Anita are visible in front of his parents. Adela smiled wryly with glazed eyes.

"So what if your marriage doesn't wait until the election is over? We wanted to quickly fondle the grandchildren, and it had been too long between the distance of engagement and marriage. " Said Mr. Bagaskara, Anita's father.

"If you want that I agree, now or later it's the same. " Said Raiz.

Instantly Adela's tears escaped, and Raiz's eyes suddenly collided with Adela's eyes which were now staring at her.

Adela immediately left when she found out Raiz was staring at her, Raiz continued to stare at Adela until her back was invisible.
