The Time Limit (24)
" Congratulations, may you always be happy", Yudi patted his best friend's shoulder as he passed away. There is Sakha. Satria and Fitri had gone home first while Adel was going to his room upstairs.
After Yudi's departure, Sakha leaves following Adel to the room.
Grepp!!
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
" Let it be like this for a while" Pinta Sakha who was now hugging Adel from behind. " I really miss you" said Sakha.
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Adel pounding. He was very surprised. Fortunately, he did not scream right away.
Sakha tightened her embrace. Put his chin on Adel's shoulder. Finally, after being patient, he could hug his wife again with a different taste. Slowly one of his hands down rubbing a still flat stomach.
"Did she make her mother bother?", asked Sakha softly.
" no. Thank God he seemed to understand that his mother was only alone here. I don't have morning sickness like most pregnant women. It's just that I crave a lot of food and new n4fsu eat if what I want there", explained Adel without anything covered up.
Adel tried not to look nervous. Although the heartbeat still can not he conditioned.
" I'm sorry", Sakha said without stopping her hand rubbing on Adel's stomach.
" That's it. We promise to open a new page. Forget what happened in the past". Silence moment. " Can you let go of your embrace? My legs ache when I stand too long", Adel said honestly. He is easily tired.
" Sorry. Come sit down!", Sakha led Adel to sit on a bed that was only enough for one person. After Adel sat down, Sakha crouched down in front of Adel by continuing to rub Adel's stomach, Sakha began to invite her fetus to talk.
" Assalamu'alaikum, father's son. Healthy on the inside. ", Sakha said and immediately kissed Adel's stomach.
" Wa'alaikumsalam, dad. As long as you love me the food I want, I will always be healthy here" Adel said, mimicking the voice of a child.
Sakha only chuckled while rubbing Adel's head in an agitation. Then he sat his body beside Adel. " Yes, ask for anything. As long as I can, God willing, all the food you want I will bring" he replied. He was impatient to accompany Adel through his cravings.
Sakha took Adel's hand and continued to hold it. Moments like this reminded him of the ash-white period. She and Adel spend a lot of time together. Tell a lot of things. Free-spirited. Before Adel built a high fortress. Restricting his interactions with all men including himself. Grateful now ijab qobul has become the door to penetrate the fortress that Adel built. Sakha is also very grateful because only she can feel this closeness.
" Is everything in order?", asked Sakha later.
" Yes", Adel answered briefly.
" Come home now! Mama must be happy to meet her favorite daughter-in-law", Sakha walks towards the closet where Adel put his suitcase containing clothes.
They walked together while holding hands. Sakha did not want to let go of that hand for a moment.
Up near the car, Sakha opened the car door and closed it again after Adel sat down comfortably. Turn the car around and immediately sit behind the wheel after previously keeping Adel's suitcase in the trunk.
Saying basmalah, they left the store feeling happy
" When do we go to town B while visiting places that we used to go?", suddenly Adel wants to reminisce.
" Is this like cravings too?", he asked while remaining focused on looking ahead.
" Maybe", Adel answered smiling.
" all right. We're gonna do a baby moon to your hometown. Living in the house of the father and Mother as well.", Sakha will obey Adel's wishes as well as live in the house of his father-in-law who is now empty." But, you have to be patient until your pregnancy enters the second trimester so that your pregnancy is strong" explained Sakha at length.
" You know also about the baby moon?", Adel frowned in surprise.
" hmm, I should be able to take care of it since it's still in the womb. So, I read a lot of articles, one of them about baby moon.", Sakha wants to be a standby husband that can be relied on. So, he has a lot to learn.
" I don't know. Even though it does not mean to precede destiny. But, I'm absolutely sure we'll get back together, raise our children and age together ", Sakha expressed her hope.
Adel smile. He also has the same hope.
" Oh yeah, call me back like I used to when we were married" Pinta Sakha who honestly missed a call that somehow felt special in her hearing.
" Mah?", asked Adel hesitatingly.
" yes. Call me that name again", he asked again. "When you get out of the house, your call changes. I felt something was missing ", he said.
" Alright", Adel nodded his head.
" Tell me, I want to hear it now" Sakha pinta stopped her car because of the red light.
" It was" answered Adel.
" I want to hear it again", Sakha insisted.
" Alright, honey. Look, yeah, I'd like to call you a lot - a lot. Mas, mas, mas, mas, mas, m.", Adel repeatedly called Sakha as he wanted.
" Eh, wait, wait. But, the call just now was more romantic. The call was the same change!", Pinta Sakha again. He felt more special the first time he heard Adel calling him "honey".
" The lights are green", Adel reminded because Sakha was still silent and looking at him.
Sakha returns to her car. Adel just smiled looking at Sakha. Sakha is the Sakha she used to know.
" Whatever you want, I'll do it. As long as you are happy" said Adel immediately. " Including calling with affection" Adel was actually embarrassed. He felt like a teenager who had just met love.
" thank you. I love you" said Sakha with one hand rubbing Adel's head gently.
The test!
Clear details flowed down Adel's cheeks. He's very happy. This is the first time Sakha has spoken the word love. Adel's feelings warmed up.
Seeing Adel ya shed tears, Sakha immediately pulled over and stopped her car. They've entered Sakha's residential quarters. So, the road began to fall.
" Don't cry. Later Mama thought I had hurt you again", Sakha immediately hugged Adel after opening her safety belt.
" I'm just too happy.",
Sakha parsed her embrace. With his thumb he removed the remains of Adel's tears.
" Listen!", Sakha was silent for a moment. " From this moment, tomorrow onwards, I will always say I love you. In this heart there is only your name, Dandelion Az-Zahra, my wife", Sakha looked at Adel.
Words that sound dreadful but, so sweet according to Adel.
" Don't just in the mouth, prove it" said Adel as he kissed Sakha's lips.
Sakha is attacked by surprise. He did not expect Adel to be that brave.
" Already, let's go again this is already Maghrib", Adel disperse the daydreams of Sakha.
Without saying much, Sakha continued her delayed journey by continuing to smile.
Arriving at home, they entered after saying their greetings.
" Wa'alaikumsalam", Mama Ria hugs Adel. Spreading longing towards her daughter-in-law. " You're finally home too. Thank you for wanting to go back to Mama's b0d0h child" said Mama Ria while looking at Sakha.
