THE CHAPTER 61

Happy reading....

MALIA

Time has shown four o'clock in the afternoon Jakarta time, when the tone of the notification on my phone is heard. I was waiting for a chat or phone call from Reiji directly grabbed my phone without delay.

My heart was immediately relieved because it was the tone of the notification that read it was a message coming from Reiji in a message application.

I may not have loved Reiji yet, but his profession as a pilot sometimes made me have my own fears.

Even I was worried about Reiji's safety when he was flying an iron bird in the sky, when my status was still Reiji's. And now, after I got married to Reiji, it seems that my worry and fear increased a little more than when I was Reiji's ade-ade.

Afraid that Reiji's flight was on his duty and something bad about the plane crash happened to him. Coy, coy, don't take it.

It's not a problem with her status as a widow, but for me Reiji is a good person. He used to be a bitch with his cold and indifferent attitude, sometimes nyinyir.

But the rest of Reiji was indeed good men. At least that's what I felt after I got to know him, and after he became my husband. Well, except for the mes*m mode that feels annoying when it's on.

And Reiji is on duty flying a plane to South Korea right now. My worries disappeared for a moment when the message from Reiji I received and read.

MALIA

I've reached my apartment and Reiji now. Half-seven passed by, and it seemed like I had to rush to pick up ablution, considering that the maghrib time might be around thirty minutes left.

I want to take a shower immediately, but if I choose to shower first, I will definitely miss one time of mandatory worship. So I choose to immediately take the water of ablution only and carry out the main obligation as a people in the religion that I profess.

I'll shower afterwards.

*

Instead of taking a shower immediately after the maghrib prayer, I went to the pantry and saw the food stock in the refrigerator, because my stomach was hungry. I still wear my office clothes.

Like Reiji, I can eat instant noodles now, even though I ate them this morning at breakfast.

That Reiji forbade me to eat instant noodles often. He even set a schedule that I could eat instant noodles once every three days.

Really bummer!.

*

I remembered that I had not told Reiji that I had arrived at the apartment, while I was boiling instant noodles and waiting for them to ripen to the texture I wanted.

Okay, later after my instant noodles have matured and I have poured them in a spiced bowl in it, I will take my phone in a bag to tell Reiji if I have reached the apartment.

*

Talk about contacting Reiji to preach it if I get to the apartment, in fact Reiji had contacted me many times and had quite a lot of chat from him when I had taken my phone which I had stored in my briefcase, and I forgot to take it out of there, after I pray maghrib and boil instant noodles.

Where is the bag that I use when I go to the office I put it on the bedside nightstand in the room, so the ringing let alone the sound of the cell phone notification was not heard when I was in the pantry in my apartment and Reiji. And just now my phone I hold, the ringing sounds again, along with the name of the caller on my phone screen.

Who else if not, My hubby - the name of the contact I pinned on my phone for Reiji's contact number, based on Reiji's request when we were on our honeymoon. Things I can't refuse.

“Where are you, Yang?”

Reiji's voice riled up, just immediately greeted my ears as my green icon shifted.

“Udah in apartment, Rei ..” reply.

“What time is sampe?”

“Long time jack?”

“I'm worried tau ga?” I also got the booze from Reiji.

Well, if Reiji again like this, then I feel to know Reiji who used to be chatty if I was the same Avi went somewhere, kept coming back to see him, continued to meet him, the long-lost screech will be me and Avi receiving from Reiji's mouth.

“Iya, sorry.” In the end that's what I said to ease Reiji's anger.

*

“Eh yes, Rei ..” I said to Reiji after we talked about souvenirs after Reiji searched me, and his tone was no longer angry.

“What, Which?”

“That's the room that made this space that I'll just clean it now, Rei?”

“Tomorrow I also go home, right, Yang? .. anyways instead we agree to be neat in the weekend?.” Reiji replied to my question, besides I asked him for permission, because I also wanted to tidy up more Reiji's print items from my print items.

“Yes but I don't feel right about it, Rei ..”

“Lia, Lia .. OCD really ..” said Reiji later.

“Bodo ah .. OCD, OCD, yes. Not very comfortable feeling see that room so ..”

I replied to Reiji with that word.

“Lia, Lia ..” I heard Reiji chuckle across there.

“Ya?, I'm aja neatin now it's a room huh?.”

“Ga cape you are, Which?.”

“Kalo cape I ga maybe insistent want to tidy up that room now, Rei ..”

“Huumm,”

“Lagian I belom sleepy too ..” I said.

“Ga want to wait for me to come back? .. Many tablets of it ..”

Reiji seemed to be trying to change my plan to clean up that room that would become our multipurpose room.

“Yes I tidy as best I can, Rei.”

But if the matter of cleaning something that is aesthetic in my eyes, it is not that easy either.

I'm not sleepy yet, and I haven't taken a shower either, so all that sultry, abis bebes, shower, keep sleeping. Eh Isya first, doain it's a husband to be safe until coming home tomorrow without anything.

So good, am I?.

But yes, indeed I want Reiji to always be given safety, besides myself, my parents, and the parents of Reiji and Avi who are now really my family, he said, and I prayed for them every time I finished worshiping.

Besides, Reiji is my husband now. A wife should pray for her husband, right?.

Okay, back to my conversation with Reiji.

“Ga want to wait for me to come back? .. Many tablets of it ..”

“Yes I tidy as best I can, Rei.”

“Ya it's up to you anyway it's actually.”

In the end Reiji just agreed to my desire to clean up the room that will become our multipurpose room.

But Reiji's question afterwards made me feel ambiguous.

“Yang,”

“Ya?”

“You insist very neatin my goods, there is something you want to find out? ..”

What do you mean Reiji did that?.

“Means? ..”

“Ya no mean anything, Just aja, Which .. times you are curious I nyimpen photos ex? ..”

Reiji was joking, and I heard him snorting amusedly across there later. Ish, what a craft I got into Reiji's ex-girls.

Uh, speaking of the ex, that girl named Shirly, is actually one of Reiji's exes or isn't she?.

“Ih, sorry yes, I am not that sepepo, Mr. Reiji Shakeel ..”

Indeed, I didn't think about checking Reiji's stuff when he didn't exist.

“But wait a minute, you're like I'm going to let your things go wrong when you don't exist, is there really something you're hiding from me, Rei?.”

But in the end I was lured by Reiji's question in the form of his conjecture to me, about me who wanted to find out about his ex-minors.

Then after I asked like that, I heard a slow gasp from Reiji across the phone. Then Reiji said,

“Ga there is something I need to hide from you, Which ..”

“Yakin?” my question is kidding. I caught Reiji's voice getting serious just now.

“Yakin,” Reiji replied for sure.

“So seriously sir Pilot,” selorohku.

“Things that concern you I will take seriously, Yang..”

I tried to melt the atmosphere.

But Reiji's tone of voice was still serious. I'd be awkward if Reiji was like this.

“Ya has neatin that room wait you just back if that,” I said in the end.

“Town, Which .... I'm holding you back from tidying it up until I'm around, just because I don't want you to be sapped ...”

“.........”

“Not because there's something I'm hiding ... Please if you want to see my stuff in the next room.”

“Englah,” sahutku. “Wait for you ...” connect me. “Let there be something awkward I can ask you directly ....”

I chuckled later.

But in fact, Reiji still I heard his tone seriously.

“Make me past yes past.. And it feels like you might not be as interested as it was in my past, considering. You are not in love with me.”.

“.........”

“In fact I'm curious about one thing ..”

“What?.” are you curious about.

“Your past. Do you have ‘someone’ in the past?”

And my tongue, cunt.

I really didn't think Reiji would ask that.

About someone in my past.

“I'm sure you asked Avi about me, Rei.”

I made my tone as normal as possible when I spoke again.

“And I'm sure Avi spoke the truth about me..”. “I never had a girlfriend.”

“Yes already so, I believe ..” said Reiji later.

He should have believed, because that was the truth.

I never had a boyfriend. Yeah, that's right.

But, if Reiji asked about someone in the past, then,

And if Reiji asks, “Have you ever loved someone, Malia?.”

Then my answer is,

Yep.

There was once a man I loved.

And still I wait for him to declare his love for me, until before I was betrothed to Reiji by our two parents. Even until the time before Ijab kabul arrived, with no kakhlaknya, I still hope the figure comes.

It's just that it never happened, until I actually became a Reiji Shakeel's wife. My hope for the man was dashed the day Reiji mentioned my name with his voice when Ijab kabul.

And that man, however, though this heart I am not sure has not kept his name. But he has become my past, which I should have buried deeply.
