TIME (For A Taste )
CHAPTRE 84

Happy reading....

MALIA

I immediately checked my phone, when I woke up again from my sleep when the sound of alarm from my phone gradually sounded clear in my ear.

I wrote the side lyrics of the part where Reiji used to sleep.

And that part is still empty, and neat.

I lyrically then the wall clock in the room, where I can guess what time it is now from the sound of the alarm that goes off on my phone.

But my eyes spontaneously glanced at the clock of the room wall, and it was exactly as I thought if the time showed at half-five in the morning local time.

I don't think Reiji has returned to our apartment yet. Though Reiji told me, if he would reach Jakarta at about eleven o'clock or no later than twelve o'clock at night.

We will arrive at the apartment at around two in the morning. But it's already half-five in the morning, and I'm sure Reiji hasn't returned to our apartment yet if he sees his empty, tidy bed.

Where the hell is he?...

Don't tell Anter Shirly again! What if his best friend named Reiji Shakeel is married, until he still asks for help with the husband of someone?.

Because if I did, I'd be angry this time.

Crazy if you want to buy temen until dawn like this.

So I grabbed my phone, whose alarm was still going off loud.

There was a chat message from Reiji.

‘Sorry Yang, I suddenly ngabarin that from Cengkareng I went directly to Bogor. I forgot that tomorrow there's a schedule to gather fellow Pilot.’

‘Do not get angry huh?’

‘Sorry I didn't call, afraid you're sleeping. I just got to Jakarta almost half twelve, and just circled at the airport half an hour.’

‘I try to go home from Bogor. Love you.’

Which I then read, without me retaliating.

Not what, just waking up.

So it feels that lives have not been collected yet males aja bales chat in the application.

Wanted from Reiji or from anyone. In fact, the brain is definitely a connection bulb.

Unless there is one thing that is really urgent where I will not just send a chat if there is emergency information. Because I'll definitely make a phone call.

So it wasn't that I was mad at Reiji because he had the show but forgot to tell me, that I didn't immediately answer Reiji's chat message.

But it is pure I still feel lazy to reply to the message that I just woke up in the morning blind like this.

Besides, I have to fulfill the duty of shajuh first.

Maybe later after the prayer I'll reply to Reiji's chat.

***

Half an hour later, Malia just grabbed her phone which was still on the nightstand beside the bed at her bedside. Then open up Reiji contacts again in the app. Reiji's active time was last seen on a million-person online communication app, which was just a few dozen minutes ago.

'Yes I'm not angry.'

The reply chat message Malia sent.

'Don't forget to pray shajuh.'

MALIA

Reiji did not call me long after, after I replied to his chat message. Apologies, other than greetings that greeted me immediately, as I received a video call from Reiji.

“Truly not angry right? ..”

Then that question Reiji asked.

“Engga Reii.”

And that answer I gave.

Because indeed I am not angry at all, if Reiji does have a schedule of events with his professional friends.

After all Reiji also never forbid me to gather with my office friends if there is a spark to hang out together.

Just yeah with a banter from Reiji, if there is a guy, must report with him.

So yeah I don't mind Reiji's socializing with his friends.

“Nih see yes, pay close attention.”

Reiji made his cell phone camera point to every corner of the hotel room where he was staying.

“This is Eugene, my roommate.” Then Reiji showed a man who was with him in the room, where he appeared to be sleeping.

What the hell is this Rei?.

So far, afraid of being suspicious of me?.

“Iya Rei.”

I voiced out for Reiji to stop showing evidence of his honesty who went suddenly to gather with his fellow professionals.

“Ga need to take his side very often.” I said again. “I also did not ask for proof of your honesty --“

“Yes I just want to keep your trust the same as me, Yang ..”

“Iya, I trust Rei ..”

“Alhamdulillah if it is.”

We both smiled later.

“Still yes.” Reiji said next.

“Sama-sama.” My reply.

“I shubuh first huh?”

Reiji said goodbye and I immediately agreed.

-

Reiji fulfilled his promise to return home quickly from Bogor.

Where the event was - if according to Reiji, it was a routine schedule of pilots who had only often interacted at the airport, but then so often sat together and familiar, until then came the idea to make a routine gathering schedule that the time will be discussed again if the plan has been triggered, then adjust to each schedule.

So on the basis of that explanation I woles only. I'm also not a woman who likes to curb a couple's freedom, even though I don't love Reiji yet. But as a wife, of course I have the right to know what her husband is doing outside, and vice versa. It's just that for the affairs of ‘me time’ I do not want to curb, because one day I also definitely need a name ‘me time’ or ‘friend time’.

Well, about the word ‘friend’ I so remembered a ‘friend’.

Friends, that made me have such deep feelings for her.

Friends, who I haven't told Reiji. Past friends like Shirly to Reiji.

Friends, as it turns out, still tease the recesses of my heart.

But I, should have stopped this intrusive 'friend' in the recesses of my heart immediately.

Author’s POV

A few days passed..

Malia and Reiji's life has been going on as normal in recent days. Normal.

As Malia told Reiji if she didn't mind Reiji wanting to spend time with her friends, then that's the case.

Malia relaxed after Reiji returned from Bogor, and her husband did not return to the apartment immediately after Monaco. Instead of directly attending a get-together with friends of one profession with Reiji.

Be it fellow pilots who are in the same airline, or different.

And after Reiji returned from Bogor, in the remaining half-day until Reiji was on duty again the next day to carry out Reiji's professional duties as a pilot, Reiji and Malia's interaction went normal.

Just like Reiji also with his profession as a pilot, Malia was struggling with his job in the office.

Author’s POV off

**

Malia and Reiji are both preparing to go to work at their respective workplaces.

Today, Malia and Reiji will leave together as usual, if Reiji's scheduled duties are not far from Malia's work schedule.

“Do not dress and makep-cake” said Reiji while Malia was sitting in front of the dressing table.

The usual joke phrase Reiji always throws, if Malia is dressing up.

“Emang was so cute from birth!” reply Malia, and Reiji will chuckle afterwards.

“Eh yes real!” Reiji. “Ga factory again, cute it till now.”

“Gombal.”

“Cium.”

Reiji puts his lips on Malia after her wife throws him away, after being seduced by Reiji.

MALIA

My relationship with Reiji has been going well since my reunion with Irsyad at my favorite sushi restaurant a few days ago.

Although, I had time to check email and chat applications on a website that I used to often use to communicate with Irsyad.

Just checking, if he's writing something he sent me.

I was curious, with Irsyad's reaction to the news that I was married.

Because I had a chance to look in Irsyad's eyes when I agreed to the question about it.

I don't know, maybe it's just my feelings.

But at first glance I saw, there was a disappointed highlight there.

Could it be that Irsyad really felt disappointed, when he came back here who might be taking a leave of absence for what, knowing that I was married?.

I don't know.

But it doesn't feel like it could be.

And I shouldn't have thought about how Irsyad felt when I made up my mind to make Irsyad and all about her, just a part of my past.

For that, I have to keep my heart from being unstable.

So, just that one time, I checked that there might be something Irsyad typed for me.

Which is not a single pleasant post from him to my email or chat account on a website that I usually use it. So I also felt I had to close the book about Irsyad completely.

Irsyad who did not send a pleasantries to ask about my marriage, made me also stop to type something on her email or in my chat account on the website.

When we last met a few days ago, Irsyad did not ask me about my phone number. So I thought, yeah. Maybe my ‘friends’ and Irsyad get here.

No, I'm not looking for any information about Irsyad about its current presence in Jakarta afterwards, to this day.

Until the ringing on the intercom on my desk rang and broke my daydream.

“Ya?.” my handkerchief after I lift the intercom handle. And as usual, the sweet voice of my office receptionist was immediately heard after he heard my greeting.

And what the receptionist named Icha said, made me frown.

“Mba Lia, something new.” Icha said, the receptionist made a sweet voice.

“Who, Cha?..” my question on Icha.

“Long standing Mba Lia said.”

“My old menu?”

“Iya, Mba.”

“Name?”

“Irsyad.”
