TIME (For A Taste )
CHAPTRE 92

Happy reading....

***

“We ended the fight today huh? And I hope there will be no more quarrels between us, Yang. Yes?”

Reiji asks for Malia's willingness to make up with him.

“Hopefully.” Malia replied, while pulling the short corner of her lips.

Although Malia just smiled stiffly at him, Reiji did not want to bother about it.

MALIA

“I love you, Yang. Please, please to believe it...”.

That's what Reiji said after he apologized and asked that I no longer be angry with him, and ended our fight today.

Reiji's face seemed earnest and I couldn't resist when Reiji kissed me again like he said he missed me, but it was only a few hours before we met.

Sounds like a mole.

But I didn't see it in Reiji's eyes when he said he missed me.

“Rei...”

I unraveled Reiji's kiss, when I realized that it was getting deeper and more demanding.

I understand that signal. Reiji was wanting to share the warmth with me.

“Hmm? ...” Reiji muttered, with a voice that sounded a little heavy.

“I cape.”

My words made Reiji who was gently peeping my jawline after I unraveled his kiss, stopping the action.

I know Reiji is desperate for his maleness, but I'm really not ready for his ‘serve’ right now.

Reiji looked at me.

Then a smile appeared on his face.

But I know, if Reiji keeps the disappointment in his heart over my refusal to make love to him at this moment.

Then Reiji nodded while still smiling, and looked gently at me.

“It’s okay, The.”

Then Reiji said.

“Sorry yes, Rei..”

“It's nothing Yang, I understand..”

Reiji said resigned. Not trying to seduce me to make love, as usual, if we are not in the awkwardness of a relationship like this due to a fight – which although can actually be said as a small quarrel.

“But, sleeping while bending you can right?..”

I nodded in agreement to Reiji's request just now.

And Reiji pulled a little more the corner of his lips.

“Nite, A. I love you..”

Reiji immediately took me in his arms.

Then lightly kissed my forehead before he spoke earlier.

“Nite, Rei..”

I only replied to Reiji's words to that extent.

---

My marriage to Reiji should be fine.

There was a bit of a fight, but it shouldn't have affected our marriage which should have been fine.

Small fights in the household are common, right?.

It shouldn't have affected my and Reiji's relationship in this matchmaking-based marriage.

Which I have received with a chest.

But until this moment, I still feel the upheaval in my heart over my marriage to Reiji, and to Reiji himself.

I sometimes feel like I want to rebel, but I don't know what I really want. One time I accepted Reiji, and one time I rejected him.

And when my rejection of Reiji came like this, it felt like I wanted to blame Irly.

Because the source that is the reason for my memory of Irsyad rising from the grave is himself.

But is it Irly that I must blame for my memory of Irsyad rising from the grave?.

Feels not.

It's not Reiji's fault.

It's not the fault of both, to make my mind become incompetent since Irsyad has returned to my life.

Which in the end, made me reject Reiji for the first time on cape grounds.

Actually not a problem of my – cape, because my body is not as clean as it really is.

My chaotic thoughts, influenced me to reject ‘undangan’ fuck Reiji tonight.

Irsyad was messing with my mind, causing an impact on Reiji. Makes me unable to accept Reiji's call to warm up to each other.

I fear.

I'm afraid when I'm in Reiji's favor, but it's Irsyad that I imagined.

*****

A week has passed, but the relationship between Malia and Reiji seems to be running in place since the last time the two argue with each other which if remembered by Reiji, if remembered, it was from the moment he asked Malia when she came home late to the apartment for the first time, without any notice, except miss called.

As if triggered, Malia's annoyance seems to increase, when on holidays when Malia and Reiji together were together in the apartment because they were both working holidays – there was an incoming call from Irly.

Although there are no scenes of each other silencing or saying ketus every day in this week, but Malia seems to be closing herself from Reiji – in the view of Malia's husband.

Where Reiji keeps spreading himself. Do not want to urge Malia to tell stories and share, even in the eyes of Reiji – as if there is something that Malia keeps herself. Malia hide. But until the seventh day, Malia's attitude was still the same, even felt away from Reiji.

At least, that was what Reiji felt. I don't know what's wrong with her this week, Reiji doesn't know.

“You're actually why the hell, Yang? This week I'm not ga ggeh you're impressed to keep a distance from me.” Reiji finally voiced his heart.

“I don't know, Rei. I just feel like there's something wrong between us --“

“Ga something's wrong with us, Yang. We are fine .. we just need to get to know each other again, open --“

“Engga Rei, it feels like we have not been all right..”.

Reiji and Malia cut each other off.

“What makes you think, if we are not all right? ...”

And Reiji responded to Malia's earlier remark with a question.

“Don't tell me because of my past story and Irly again!” Reiji answered his own question defensively.

“Iya, because of her!” Malia sniffed ketus.

“Oh damned, Lia --“

Reiji curses a little with a faint voice.

“How many times do I have to tell you, don't you want to talk about it!”

Reiji was upset.

“What the hell is Yang? Want you what? Many times I've said, it's obvious, if I don't already have the same feelings as him other than as a friend ..”

“I even invited you to meet him but you don't want.”

Reiji was carried away by his regret, as a result of being ignited by Malia's speech. Malia was silent.

“Then you say now, you feel we are not all right ... You are holding the problem, then bring it up for no apparent reason --“

“Ga is just about it!”

Malia paused Reiji's speech later.

“Lantas? ..”

Reiji asked back, asking.

Malia did not answer.

Reiji focused his gaze on Malia.

“What fantasy, Lia? ..” Reiji asked again.

Malia bit her lip, then she said, “We’re (We are )---”

Malia hung up her words for a moment.

“We're just ... we're not doing well, Rei.”

“Not us, but you ..your mind is not all right, Lia! As long as you assume things, then you won't feel all right!”

Reiji said loudly to Malia.

“I don't know what your problem is. I, am happy to be where you rest. But you who said to open yourself, open your heart to me, in fact prefer to keep your own problems ... Then me, what do you think? ... Sorry I'm not counting. But it feels, as a husband, I always try to understand you, who always want to be understood ..”

Reiji smiled wryly.

“But have you ever tried to understand me? Understand how desperately I try to have you accept me as your husband, get your love.”.

Back Reiji smiled wryly.

“I think, lgga ..”

And after that Reiji looked out from before his wife, turning his body.

Stepping away to get out of her private room and Malia in the apartment.

Leaving Malia who was finally trapped in their room, after Reiji came out of it, with a little frustration and disappointment in his heart towards Malia.

REIJI

I really don't understand what's going on with Lia. The Malia I know seems to have changed. Lia who was once jolly, often talkative, sometimes spoiled and much wanted, he said, even – though I started not often see the nature and attitude after he SMA because since then we have rarely met and communicate – it feels like it has not been in Lia since our matchmaking.

However, after getting married – over time, also with a commitment in each of us – his promise Lia – which he seems to have forgotten now.

We have promised to commit, by undergoing our matchmaking, this marriage is free-spirited, and open up to each other, understanding each other's rights and obligations.

And, during our corn-sized marriage, the Lia I used to know slowly returned.

Lia's stiffness that was still evident in the three months of our wedding preparations had begun to melt, even I thought it had come out.

Lia who is jolly, chatty, I have seen again.

Especially important to me, although I know clearly that Lia does not love me, but Lia has seen to accept me as her husband.

It's awkward for me to see that there's no more. But now?..

Slowly, I felt Lia starting to change.

Lia starts to cool, ketus, sometimes looks lame.

Is it just because of Irly? ...

But I'm not sure just because of that.

Well, maybe Lia's jealous of Irly, something I'm trying to understand.

But more than that I feel like there is a crisis in Lia.

Which I feel, if there's anything he's hiding from me. There's a problem that Lia is alone.

But what? ....

----

After that night, Lia's change in attitude became more noticeable.

I felt Lia getting colder to me, even though every day we talked when we met.

That too, Lia is very irritable to talk. In fact, Lia always refused to take me back to her office, if I was idle despite the flight schedule, or I had a work schedule that allowed to pick Lia up.

But since Monday, Lia said she would use her own car to go to work. With super classic reason, “Ga want to take care of you.”

And Lia's attitude, as if embodying her words about us that aren't okay. Which to this day I grievously deny, the irregularity in my relationship with Lia today.

I'm tired of the bickering between me and Lia.

“Yang, we can't keep this up.”

I once again defeated my ego for Lia.

“Means?” respond to Lia to me, when Lia and I have met again on Saturday.

It's a holiday, like always. And I have a flight schedule, but it's late afternoon.

“This is actually why? ..”

“Ga why-why.”

“You really what the hell, Yang?”

I spoke while asking Lia softly.

“Tersubscribe.” Tukas Lia, dismiss my question.

I sighed in frustration, hearing Lia's reply. I approached.

“Sorry me.”

“Apologies for what?”

“Sorry if I have a wrong attitude and sayings to you..”

“Ga there's something I need to forgive, so you don't need to apologize because you don't I think there's something wrong with me.”

I breathe again. Want to talk again.

In order to persuade Lia. But ...

“I'll be out in a minute.” Lia got up from her seat on our living room sofa.

“Where?..”

I spontaneously asked.

“Same discovery temen.”

Lia answered quickly, and she quickly passed from before me.

“Which friend?” I asked while holding Lia by holding her arm.

“You don't know.”

Lia let go of my hand quickly, then went straight into the room.

Agree with a friend I don't know – said Lia.

Is this friend of Lia that I don't know, the cause of Lia's change of attitude?.
