The Time Limit (8)
" Mad, get up.", Adel wiggles Sakha's arm.
But Sakha did not flinch. Finally Adel let go first and he soon passed to change clothes. After she changed clothes, she tried to wake Sakha up.
"Mas, wake. Didn't go to the cafe?" Adel again shook Sakha's arm.
"Mas!!", cried Adel in shock .
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
" Be quiet!", Sakha ordered while still hugging Adel who fell into the bed because of his actions.
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Adel pounding.
" But, it's noon, Mas", Adel's an alibi. I wish Sakha would let go of her embrace.
Too close like this, so not good for his heart health.
"Don't be noisy!" Sakha firmly closed her eyes. " I'm still sleepy, accompany me to sleep for a while" Sakha pinta without loosening her arms.
"Hmm, Alright. But please let go of her embrace. I'm not comfortable sleeping like this" Adel lamented. Sakha's pull did make her fall on the bed . However, his position was not comfortable to sleep
Sakha let go of her embrace. Adel got up and fixed his position.
" Sleep here! ", sakha stretched out her left hand
Adel fell silent. Surprised to hear Sakha's orders.
Did ya? He told me to sleep on his arm? . Adel asked in his heart
Not feeling any movement, Sakha repeated her command.
" Hurry to sleep here!", Sakha re-ruled.
Finally hesitantly, Adel placed his head on Sakha's arm. Without saying much, Sakha immediately pulled Adel in her arms.
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Again Adel thumped. Sakha never did this. Sakha usually just hugs her from behind.
Adel's heart was really invited to exercise from earlier.
Sakha inhales Adel's soothing head scent.
Slowly I heard regular breathing. Sakha fell asleep again. His embrace was a bit stretched.
Adel pulled back a little bit. He saw Sakha's sleeping face.
He doesn't usually sleep in the morning. Did he sleep less last night ? ask in the heart.
He slowly rubbed Sakha's face. Admire the face of the husband. White skin, nose pointed. Once satisfied, Adel lowered his hand. While returning Sakha's embrace, she also fell asleep.
An hour later, Adel awoke from his sleep. Seeing Sakha who was still asleep, he let her go and immediately went to the bathroom to wash his face.
Moments after Adel goes to the bathroom, Sakha wakes up. Feeling that there was no one beside her, Sakha immediately got up and leaned her body back. His eyes looked at his empty room, not seeing Adel's whereabouts. However, then there was the sound of water gurgling from the direction of the bathroom, indicating that there was someone in there.
Out of the bathroom with a fresh face.
The deg!
Adel was shocked when his eyes accidentally saw Sakha looking at him with a gaze that Adel could not describe.
"Mas, not to the cafe?", asked Adel to break the awkwardness he felt.
" I didn't go to the store today. I want to accompany Mamah at home. I haven't spent a long time with her" Adel explained as she brushed her long black hair
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Again Adel felt an unusual heartbeat. She was nervous to see her husband from the mirror reflections watching his every move.
"Oh yeah, want some breakfast now? Mama said that Mas Sakha did not eat breakfast", asked Adel to cut his gaze from the mirror and focus on finding a hair tie in his dresser drawer.
"Yes may" Sakha replied as she passed towards the bathroom.
Adel breathed out. There was something strange about her husband's look. Sakha is usually indifferent to him. Although often makes Adel surprised by his spontaneity. Be it a sudden kiss or hug him. However, that look just now I don't know, it's different.
Not wanting to take a headache, Adel immediately grabbed his instant phasmina and immediately put it on. Once tidy, she immediately prepared clothes for her husband and immediately passed to the kitchen to warm her food.
***
After some time has passed, this is where Adel and Sakha are. Delayed breakfast.
Sakha and Adel sat side by side. After getting food for Sakha, Adel takes it for himself.
Despite having breakfast, Adel is suddenly hungry again. Especially seeing the chicken curry lontong made by her in-laws.
Before enjoying the food, Adel put a lot of sambal so that the sauce turns reddish.
" Is not most of the sambalnya?", Sakha just swallowed her saliva looking at Adel who was eating vigorously.
" no. I think the spiciness is enough", explained Adel again eating his curry pennies.
Sakha just shook her head to see it. It's obviously spicy. Seen from Adel's sweat pouring profusely. However, Adel did not look spiciness at all.
Sakha occasionally steals a look at Adel. I wanted to apologize for yesterday breaking his promise all of a sudden. But he felt the time was not right. Moreover, Adel was just ordinary, not the slightest mention of yesterday's events. When she finished eating, Sakha said nothing.
After eating, Adel cleaned his dirty dishes and washed them. Sakha immediately returned to the room.
Finished washing, he took some souvenir snacks from his two best friends. At first he would meet the in-laws and spend the day with them. However, he did not do it because Bi Lastri said, Mama Ria is going to his sister's house. He did not say goodbye to Adel or Sakha for not bothering them both.
In the room, Sakha was sitting checking Cafe's financial statements on her laptop. Adel only caught a glimpse and took his laptop and passed it towards the balcony.
Immediately Adel opened the Laptop and began watching video info cakes that are viral also the manufacturing process. He wants new innovations in his cake shop to add new customers and retain old customers.
While on the sidelines eating snacks, he focused on watching. Without realizing it, a pair of hands hugged him from behind. Who else would it be if it wasn't Sakha.
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Adel's heart is pounding. Especially when Sakha put her head on Adel's shoulder. The more his heart beats faster.
What's wrong with her? Why does it feel different today. Inner Adel.
" For yesterday, I'm sorry", Sakha finally spoke. " I'm sorry to suddenly cancel the appointment to accompany you" he added, holding Adel in his arms.
The deg!
Recalling yesterday, Adel recalls the reason Sakha broke her promise. Lisa's. Yes, Adel clearly heard that Sakha was trying to catch up with Lisa. His heart is sick again.
Adel took a deep breath and exhaled. Decompose the tightness he felt before speaking.
" It's okay. I'm understand. Didn't you say there was an important affair that you couldn't stay in?", Adel replied with a bitter smile.
I know Lisa's important to you. You don't want to accept me as your wife because you love her. While me?. O Allah, strengthen the heart of your servant. Adel spoke in his heart. Don't cry Adel. You strong! You strong! Adel strengthened himself.
Sakha knew, even in Adel's mouth said it was okay. But not with his heart. Especially when on the phone he was sure Yudi's words were heard by Adel, so Adel knew the real reason he canceled the appointment.
" Sorry. Please forgive me!...."
