Once in the Luxuri Suite room with a view of the sea that so spoil the eyes makes Ivan feel calm. He immediately cleaned himself in the room to immediately perform Zuhur prayer. Through his cell phone call Ivan asked Roni to order lunch and delivered directly to his room. He wanted to call Khaira immediately to give her the good news.
After performing the Zuhur prayer, Ivan immediately contacted Khaira via vc. He can see the wife's sad face while staring at her face on the mobile screen.
“Assalamu’alaikum …. “ Khaira switches the phone screen to the wall of the room where it rests while in the booth. Remembering Ivan's words that pitched hard to him, made Khaira reluctant to look at the husband's face.
“Wa’alaikumussalam,” Ivan said softly, “Sayang .. I apologize for making you sad.”
Khaira was silent and did not respond to Ivan's words. He just finished performing Zuhur prayer as soon as the vc call came in. Actually he was lazy to answer, but he did not want to be a bad wife. As much as possible he tried to smile even though it did not seem sincerity that was illustrated.
“You can attend the exhibition in Bali ...” Ivan said slowly, “I will support as long as it makes you happy.”
Hearing Ivan's voice trying to persuade him made Khaira's feelings soften. But he hasn't turned his face on the phone screen yet.
“I miss my wife's face so much …. “ Ivan speaks while laying his body on the mattress, “Tonight still feels cold ...”
There was no response from Khaira, and her face did not appear on the screen. Ivan breathed a heavy sigh. He was still waiting for his wife's voice, until a moment later the face he missed appeared on the mobile phone screen.
“Mas when to go home?” still with a reluctant feeling Khaira did not stare at her husband's face.
Ivan smiled in relief, as his longing was slightly relieved at the gentle voice of his wife and her face was still in sulking fashion.
“I'll be back soon. Ease in 3 working days here can be handled well.”
Khaira started looking at Ivan's face. Her frustration instantly faded at her husband's meaningful smile and gaze. The two stares at each other.
“Can't the others represent?” Khaira began to lay her body on the bed without taking her eyes off her husband's face.
Frankly he longed for the touch of the husband so soft and washed away, making him slowly and surely start to forget the late Abbas even though forever the name still has its own place in his heart.
It felt like that very second Ivan wanted to fly to hug his wife to share a longing that almost broke his head. He wanted to embrace and kiss her and to pour out all the feelings of love that had grown perfectly with roots that had bound him strongly.
“I will try as soon as possible,” Ivan is still in a lazy lying mode in bed, “When will you leave for Bali?”
“Tomorrow afternoon, the opening event is held in the evening.”
“Who will accompany you?” worry still lingered over Ivan's heart.
“Together with Andini,” finally that smile appeared on Khaira's face, “At the exhibition in Singapore I could not attend. This time it will be Andini and me.”
“I'll set up an escort for you. Ridwan and Herlan will accompany you while in Bali.”
“Thank you mas,” Khaira's eyes again sparkled because she got her husband's approval.
He had planned quickly, when he arrived in Bali he would contact Dewo in Lombok to help him prepare the property to be used. Khaira believes Dewo also has employees who will help him during the jewelry exhibition.
“After this, I want us both to take time,” Ivan's voice starts to sound serious, “I want us both vacation.”
Looking at his wife's face made his longing stronger. He does not want to just look, he wants to touch it and share the warmth until the burden that is in the chest is gone.
Khaira's eyes were round looking at Ivan's face, a red hue instantly seething on his cheek. She understood what her husband said. In his heart, he was determined to be Ivan's wife.
A smile immediately rose on Ivan's face looking at the hue of his wife's face. From Khaira's clear radiance, he could see the look of yearning as he felt, only that Khaira did not reveal it directly. But from the words implied Ivan knew, the heart of his wife now he has completely.
“We are going on honeymoon,” Ivan wants to see his wife's reaction by fishing Khaira through his words, “I really miss those moments ...”
“Sayang …. “ Ivan hides his smile seeing his wife's behavior.
He heard a knock on the door. Ivan believes it was OB who delivered Roni's lunch order.
“Mas already ate?” khaira's face appeared on the phone screen again.
“It looks like a new Roni order is delivered now,” slowly Ivan rose from the bed, “Newly want to eat now.”
He glanced at the watch on his wrist that had shown it at 13:00. Without disconnecting the phone, Ivan opened the door. The guess is right, an OB came carrying a trolley table filled with a very appetizing lunch menu.
“Thank you,” Ivan nodded his head as soon as OB finished arranging the food on the table that was inside the room he occupied.
“Mas want to eat now? I'll hang up the phone …. “
“Not to close. I want to enjoy this lunch with you,” Ivan said, shaking his body in the chair.
Finally Khaira accompanied her husband to eat while telling other light things when he was with her in-laws as well as the events he experienced daily.
The conversation ended when Ivan finished lunch and immediately packed up to attend a meeting with the tourism service that will be his client this time in making a documentary Wonderfull Lombok Sumbawa.
“Please be well. Take care of health,” Ivan looked at his wife closely when he wanted to end the conversation.
“Mas is also the same, always take care of health. I'll wait.”
“I love you ...” Ivan said with a hint of his lips.
“Love you too ...” Khaira now unhesitatingly answered Ivan's words with a smile engraved on his face.
The conversation with Khaira had brought Ivan's spirit back to life. Exactly at two o'clock in the afternoon, Ivan and Roni had sat down to a meeting with the Wonderfull Sumbawa team consisting of 5 people from the related service, which was also involved in the meeting, three men who were the age of Ivan and a woman whose age was above Ivan. Two people who had known Ivan were also in the meeting room, namely Adam and Meli.
Roni observes Meli's behavior trying to attract her boss. But Ivan still careless no matter Meli who paced offering drinks and snacks beside him. He focused on hearing important things that his client wanted in making a documentary that was planned to start tomorrow morning for location selection.
As soon as the event was over, Ivan rushed out of the room. He has got an outline of the plans that will be made for documentary filmmaking.
“Master Ivan!” Adam called Ivan who was walking quickly.
Ivan stopped his steps waiting for Adam to walk followed by Meli who shamelessly showed his love for Ivan.
“I want to invite you to dinner together,” Adam looked at him expectantly. As a good host he wanted to show the local hospitality of the locals.
“Sorry Mr. Adam, tonight I will follow the zoom meeting with my employees to start the project design you want,” Ivan refused subtly, “I want to finish this project as soon as possible, moreover, the deadline that your party gives is very short only 7 days, automatically within 3 days all must be running.”
Adam admired Ivan's rhythm of work that was so neat with good management. It is only natural that many companies want to work with him. His integrity and professionalism have been proven over the past five years to be the number one company in the country.
That night Roni was still in Ivan's room to do a zoom meeting with the production house. This time Ivan chose the Bagong cs team that handled the documentary. He asked for a Day that came with Bagong cs' troupe. Roni will return to the office to handle Ivan's duties, because Hari will replace him to accompany Ivan in the field.
This afternoon at exactly 10 o'clock with very clear weather, Khaira with a group of 5 people have landed at Ngurah Rai International Airport Bali. The journey for approximately 2 hours is quite tiring for Khaira. Arriving at the hotel he wanted to immediately rest himself comfortably in bed.
