The Delayed Soul
Chapter 44

Her night...

Varel just finished cooking for dinner. He saw Adel go down into the kitchen. Upon returning from the kitchen, Varel invited her to eat together.

"I'm full, eat alone!" push Adel but his stomach even sounds.

"Sit down and eat, it's too much for me to eat alone" Varel said.

Because he was very hungry and had not ordered food, Adel said.

"Om..," called Adel in between their meals. Varel.

"Thank you for helping me all this time. It turns out that criticism is very helpful," said Adel sincerely.

Varel only smiled faintly, "Here eat, you are too thin now. Eat a lot" Varel said.

"Maybe it's a lot I've been working on lately, so I've been eating less, sleeping less too" Adel said. Their conversation was indeed stiff and awkward but both of them missed this kind of atmosphere. They were just chatting together without any interruption.

"If you're exhausted, why did you accept Andini's request, why should you torture yourself like this?" varel's sentence implied a satire for Adel. He knew that the woman had to accept him, which was actually a feeling of pain and disappointment.

"Why should I refuse? Wouldn't it be nice if Andini ordered a dress with me, she's my first customer for that dress!" sahut Adel's.

"You don't have to force yourself like this, Del. Besides Andini there will be many other customers, why should Andini? Reject Andini's request!" pinta Varel's.

"Om has no right to ban me. Don't worry about helping me create that nice dress, om so I'll just set me up!" Adel got up from his seat.

"Where are you going?" ask Varel.

"You go to the room!" sahut Adel's.

"Your food is not finished yet" exclaimed Varel.

"Udah full!" Adel left the dining table.

"It's hard to tell!" muttered Varel annoyed. He also lost his appetite.

Time goes on, it does not feel that the marriage of Andini and Varel is less than two weeks away. Adel is busy preparing Andini's wedding dress and also the family uniform that will be worn by his family as requested by Andini.

Andini herself, taking care of everything herself, wants to create her own dream wedding. But it turned out that it was very draining of his energy and mind, so he felt his body that was sick felt increasingly weakened.

"excuse me, is Adelnya there? I had an appointment to meet him, make a fitting wedding dress," asked Andini to the boutique employee he met.

"Oh mbak Andini, let's follow me up, Adel is on the top, mbak Andin dress also has spit twenty percent so," Sahila who just happened to come back from outside invites Andini to go upstairs.

When we got to the top, Adel. Welcoming you as a friendly customer.

"You look pale, Ndin? Are you sick?" ask Adel.

Andini smiled, "Maybe because soybeans take care of everything, but it's okay" he said. She doesn't feel like her body has been doing well lately. Doctors often reminded him to fly to Singapore, but Andini continued to refuse.

"Oh my goodness, maybe because I often forget to eat and lack of rest times, huh?" kilah Andini, "I'm sorry, so you have to take care of my body again," he continued.

"That's okay, no problem. Staying in a little tiny, will fit really," said Adel. Try professional.

Varel came home when the time had already shown ten o'clock more because of overtime. However, when he returned home, he saw no sign of life other than himself. That means Adel hasn't come home yet.

" What time is it? Why haven't you come home?" he murmured while looking at the clock that was coiled in his left hand.

Not usually Adel came home at night, usually the afternoon the woman was already at home. Unless you go with the echo, he thought. But... Wait for... On the way home, Varel passed Gema on his way to dinner at a restaurant. Gema said she bought dinner for her sister. That means Adel is not with the man.

Varel did not get into his room, he turned his body and went back into the car. The night was cloudy and soon it rained quite heavily.

While Adel is still busy alone in his shop, Sahila and other employees have gone home first this afternoon, because indeed the clock home should not be that late. He said he would come home after the others came home but in fact he was still busy fixing the dress ordered by Andini. Moreover, Andini asked for several setails to be remodeled, requiring Adel to work more. He wants to finish it immediately so he can hold another job.

Jeder!

The sound of lightning accompanied by the rain which made Adel jerked in shock. "Well, it's raining, anyway" he murmured while stroking his chest. He saw the watch in his hand, "Oh my goodness, it was so late at night. Where has not dinner," he lamented. He took his phone and unfortunately it turned out his phone ran out of battery.

Adel got up from his seat to snarl his cell phone. When he was about to return to his seat, the electricity suddenly went out and the whole room was pitch black.

Varel who had just reached the boutique and got out of the car hurriedly ran to the boutique terrace because he did not carry an umbrella. He was sure if Adel was still in the boutique because shortly after his car until earlier he saw the upper floor of the boutique still hurt the lights before finally the situation was immediately dark because the electricity went out.

Varel immediately ran towards the illumination terrace from his cell phone. After arriving at the terrace, he just tried to hold the door handle that turned out not in the key, "Happy once," he muttered as he opened the door. He immediately entered because he was worried about Adel. He knew that the girl was scared because of the dark.

Varel circulated the flashlight of his cell phone around the first floor, he did not find Adel there, then he pointed his cell phone flashlight upstairs and went straight there.

Adel was really scared because he was afraid of the dark. Especially in addition to lightning that continues to be unpretentious. His dead phone can't be lighted. He really did not dare to move from where he was standing now.

"Whoever help me, I'm afraid!" muttered Adel who was trembling. He's been holding the pobhia of darkness for a long time.

Jeder!

The sound of lightning made Adel even more frightened. The lightning in the lightning made him scream. He covered his face when he noticed that there was light coming in besides the lightning was approaching him. Adel was really scared if it was a bad guy, a robber or something. Seconds later the lightning again sounded along with the pull of Adel's body into someone's embrace.

Adel was about to rebel when he realized that his body was in someone's arms, but he immediately felt relieved when he said, "Calm down, it's me!" said it.

"O.M...?" muttered Adel who recognized the voice.

"Yes, it's me" said Varel. Fortunately, his phone died when he found Adel.

Varel's existence calms Adel down. He was right to feel safe and comfortable in the man's arms. He returned Varel's embrace tightly. Varel was no less tightly hugged Adel. He even kissed Adel's head. How relieved he was because the woman he loved was fine.

Suddenly, the lights came back on and they were still in the same state, hugging. Upon realizing the lights were on, Adel was about to break away from Varel's embrace, but Varel held him back without a word. Adel also let the man continue to hold her, very tightly.
