The Bridesmaid
Twenty Two

The sun was already visible to the scorching rays, but the two human children lying on the bed were not disturbed at all. Maybe because they think it's a holiday, why wake up so early? better to sleep.

Ningsih let out a long bellow as the sunlight slightly struck down due to their room curtains being blown away by the wind. Slowly, his eyes opened and turned to his side. He smiled looking at Juna's innocent face while asleep, the annoying impression on the face was instantly gone. Does Ningsih need to tell Juna to sleep constantly well, so that his annoying face will never be seen again in Ningsih's eyes? uh, tapikan...if sleep continues it is not dead? Ah...Ningsih is a young widow dong? Then instead of looking at Juna's innocent face, the face will definitely pale and will also be immediately buried.

Ningsih rounded her eyes as she realized her extremely bad thinking. Oh, my God, could he think it was still morning? Think Juna died, buried, bad think of being a widow? Jesus, he must have been a demon through earlier. Lagian...Ningsih was sure she would not be able to lose Juna. Although it had only been a few days, Ningsih had already felt used to all the sweet treatment of Juna.

Ningsih snorted as she glanced at Juna's hand that was coiled around her waist. Do not be surprised, Ningsih almost every day found the hand perched on his waist when he woke up. Even worse, several times Ningsih woke up and realized that her position and Juna were hugging. Where Juna grabbed her waist, and Ningsih was already curled up against the man's chest.

Ningsih tried to let go of Juna's hand which was on his waist. But instead of being separated, Juna even further tightened his embrace so that Ningsih was more attached to him.

Ningsih cursed his heart that was just now dangdutan, happy? I don't know, Ningsih was confused as well. What is clear is that his heart is pumping faster than it was with Noval. Is it because he and Juna are too intimate? it means well.too attached to it. If with Noval, he is only limited to handrails.

"Sister, uh! Lepasin. The side wants to cook!" whining.

Juna opened his eyes slowly when he heard his wife's whining. Even the girl mentioned her own name as Sisi, not me as usual. He smiled looking at the annoyed face of Ningsih who was lying down but tilted his head staring at Juna.

"Before a while, my brother is still sleepy" he said.

"isssh, it's not the sleepy Brother Sisi. anyways who cooked right Sisi, what's the relationship with the brother who is still sleepy?" Ningsih still tried to take Juna's hand off, but still failed.

"Ckk, because Big Brother is more comfortable sleeping while hug you than alone" replied Juna making Ningsih's face flushed. Fortunately, Juna did not see, because the man had closed his eyes again.

Ningsih finally resigned and let her husband sleep. But only twenty minutes later, Juna immediately opened his eyes and was loud because of the sound of Ningsih's stomach that sounded quite strong. His wife was really hungry.

"Hahahahahh, Sister's Wife really...lapar..hhh...yah?" juna teased in between his laughter.

Ningsih looked at him sharply. "I'm wrong here, again! If you don't know me, I'm cooking and we can eat!" says annoyed.

"Hahahah, sorry deck, sorry! Yes, now you take a shower and keep changing clothes. We ate out this morning" Juna still laughed as he said that.

"where to eat?" ask Ningsih.

"Fried rice near the crossroad is it? my friend said the office was good there, and the place was clean. The courtyard was spacious, so a little away from the highway" Ningsih nodded her head, then entered the bathroom leaving Juna who was smiling herself because of her behavior.

"If it were that simple, then be it with you. The hhuufft! Brother is sure whatever Big Brother will explain to you will definitely all still make big brother look guilty in your eyes" Juna gave a rude sigh. He was confused to say everything to Ningsih in what way.

This alone Juna was already grateful because Ningsih had not discussed their problems last night. Maybe the girl is the type of person who easily forgets problems and can not be angry for too long. The proof, Juna often argued with Ningsih, harassing the girl until she was angry. But when tomorrow they meet, they will get back to familiar even though the edges fight again.

"Sister, how does he seem to be agitated? why?" asked Ningsih while patting Juna's shoulder slowly. He had just come out of the bathroom but found Juna's face that looked like he was thinking about a lot of things.

Juna gasped in shock, 'Since when was Ningsih here? and did he hear everything I said?' his inner.

Ningsih patted her husband's shoulder slowly again.was restless and looked like a frustrated person, now daydreaming. What exactly was Juna thinking, Ningsih really did not understand at all with the man.

"So restless, pas asked daydreaming.why the hell Kak? Any problem? the same story Ningsih" he said softly.

Juna shook his head slowly, and forced his smile. "nothing is up! Oh yeah, it's done?" Juna tried to shift the topic, he could not bear to see Ningsih's disappointed face when asking but he could not answer it. So it's better that he shift to another topic.

"Yes. Now it's Brother's turn. Speed well, I'm really hungry" he said told Juna to move quickly, while stroking his stomach that had always sounded.

Juna gave a small laugh as he walked towards the bathroom. "Yes, yeah. Five minutes!" he got a sneer from Ningsih. "Sadly, so dirty as a human being" Juna just laughed at hearing that.

when he heard the bathroom door closed, Ningsih was sitting limp on the bed. Her tears suddenly fell. Actually, he just acted like he was okay. Erratum! not from that moment, more precisely since yesterday. He did not want to argue constantly with Juna even though their marriage only counted for a few days. But after all, she was a woman who basically had a sensitive heart. All the topic diversions from Juna, always make him sad.

Ningsih realized, Juna has not fully accepted herself as a wife. The proof, Juna does not trust him to explain how the man's past. Ningsih believes, Juna still loves his first love, just like Ningsih who until now still has feelings for Noval although little by little began to fade.

Her tears were growing more and more thoughtful about the fate of her marriage. When is their wedding like this? Ningsih thought, why would they maintain this relationship if their hearts were still concerned in their respective pasts?

"Why do we need to see God? It really hurts!" he was on the sidelines of his sadness.

Ningsih hurried to wipe away her tears upon hearing the bathroom door being opened. He stood up and pretended to comb his long hair.

"Well, your eyes are looking as if people are crying?" juna asked confusedly, he glanced at Ningsih's face through the glass as the girl was looking in the mirror.

"Huh? oooh, I didn't know what my hand was. Then I accidentally rubbed my eyes with my hands, it became sore and well.My tears were stirred because of it" said Ningsih reasoned.

Juna looked at his wife suspiciously, but she chose to pretend to believe because Ningsih told her to hurry up. 'Why are we never open to each other? when are we gonna get this?' Juna nodded while looking at Ningsih.
