MALIA

‘I think overtime, Rei.’

I have typed that one sentence in the chat mailbox on the application page of my and Reiji's chat fields.

But I didn't directly send the message I had typed into Reiji.

My thumb was stiff, as it hung silently over the green arrow icon in the lower right corner of my phone screen.

And I was still looking at the screen of my phone, until then there was a call coming from the person whose chat column on the contact number was open.

“Ya Rei?..”

I received a phone call from that Reiji without a second thought.

“Assalamu’alaikum, The.”.

Reiji immediately said his greetings after hearing the words from me.

“Wa’alaikumsalam..” replied.

“Sorry yes I phone you.”

Where there was as much discomfort as hearing Rei say that.

Was he afraid to make a mistake just for calling me at my office?.

Though it is also commonplace, if Rei occasionally contacts me while I am still in the office.

But then I remembered that my relationship with Rei was strained at the moment.

So maybe that's what makes Rei feel like calling me right now, when I was in the office.

Remembering that time I once said if I ‘ingin myself’, then I became indifferent to him.

“Ga problems with Rei. Call me why?” my many.

“Ga is nothing, Just curious. I sent a chat to you and I kept seeing already ticked and it looks like you are ticking but I wait for no delivery from the results of your typing, but, so I decided to call you right away, Yang.”.

“Oh...” respond me to Reiji's rather long speech. “I'd like to type in your chat reply, but my intercom sounds, so I accept it with the position I haven't finished typing chat reply me to you ..” dustaku.

Though I was playing games earlier when I wanted to send a reply chat to Reiji whose sentence was complete.

“Huumm ..”

Reiji cleared his throat slowly.

“So how, you overtime ga? .”

“Engga. I'll go straight home after office hours are done ..”

Finally I made a quick decision, a different decision to my reply to Reiji.

“Thankful for that..”.

“Someone you want to leave me with? ..”

“There and always. My heart ..” And Reiji's answer was beyond my expectations

Then I was immediately stunned.

Not knowing how to respond to Reiji's words just now.

“Ya already, I wait in the apartment yes?..”

Then, Reiji's voice sounded.

Which I felt, if Reiji tries to speak in a tone that seems fine when in fact Reiji may be swallowing disappointment across there because I did not give an answer after he said what he said before.

Before this past ‘’ problem was between me and Reiji - even though I didn't love him yet, but I always responded to Reiji's words like that, either on the phone or in person. And I'll definitely be sloppy, though,

“Gombal!”

But not this time.

“I close ya? ..”

“Iya..” replied.

“On my heart which I entrusted to you, do not be a burden ..”

“A---“

“I'm still self-conscious Yang, just calm down. I just want you to know, even though I know you still have doubts about --“

Reiji hung up his sentence.

“Yes, we'll talk later in the apartment... Obviously, I don't carelessly leave my heart to just anyone. That's aja.”

Then, Reiji said his greetings then decided on the call after I answered his greetings.

And the discomfort in my heart felt. More to feelings, guilt?...

“Assalamu’alaikum.”.

Malia says her regards as she has entered her apartment and Reiji.

“Wa’alaikumsalam ..” voice reply greetings was heard from the direction of the pantry.

“What are you doing again, Rei? ..” asked Malia spontaneously.

Then Malia walked straight to the pantry, where there was Reiji standing behind the pantry table.

“Bikin eat malem for us ..”

“Thanks yes, Rei ..”

“You, The ..”

“Eat yuk?. You must be a laper, right?” invite Reiji who has lifted two dishes from the table with both hands, to move them to the dining table.

Malia pulled the corner of her lips and smiled faintly at Reiji who briefly smiled at her earlier. “I took a shower first with gitu—“

“Let's take a shower.” Cut Reiji. “Better to eat first. Or you Maghrib used to drift instead of taking a shower.” Reciprocity.

Where Reiji had placed two dishes of fried rice on the dining table near the pantry, then he walked again towards the pantry near the stove to pick up a plate of instant chicken wings that Reiji had fried.

Malia agrees with Reiji to perform Maghrib prayers, when Reiji brings a plate of chicken wings to the dining table. “Yes I've been maghrib first, Rei ..” Malia said.

“Iya ..” sahut Reiji.

****

“Sini, A.”

Reiji pulled the dining chair next to where he was sitting, when he saw Malia coming out of the room after performing Maghrib prayers.

Malia nodded faintly, as she stepped towards the dining table and sat down on the chair Reiji had already pulled to make it easier to sit down.

“Thanks.” Malia and Reiji smiled.

“Sama-sama.”

“Besok you have a flight schedule Rei?” malia asked pleasantries on the sidelines he ate fried rice and additional chicken wings on his plate.

“I'm free tomorrow, Which. If you have flown abroad quite far to stay for days I will usually be off the next day. Time forgot?” answer Reiji.

“Oh yes.” review Malia.

Then silence was between Malia and Reiji again for a moment. Where both dissolve in each other's minds.

“Feeding, can you talk right?” reiji said, asking, breaking the silence that had existed between him and Malia while eating their food.

“I shower first yes before we talk?.” Malia replied.

And Reiji nodded with a smile.

“Ya already.”

Reiji replied later.

Then the two refocused on their food, without any more talk until Malia and Reiji both laid down their meals.

“Let me wash Rei's dishes.” Malia said, as Reiji was about to take his old plate. Reiji smiled.

“It’s okay. Did you say you want to take a shower after eating?.”

Reiji said later.

“Gih shower there, later we Isya together, we talk.” continued Reiji.

Malia responded to Reiji with a nod and a faint smile.

After about half an hour, Malia came out of the bathroom and looked fresher.

“So want Isya with Rei?.” asked Malia when she found Reiji who was sitting in the living room as well as their lounge, and was also looking at her.

When he heard the bathroom door open, Reiji's head did look spontaneously towards the bathroom.

Things that seem to have become a habit of Reiji, if Malia bathed herself without him disturbing, but then will immediately attack Malia if his wife is available to be attacked until it ends up in bed.

But Reiji could only sigh slowly, and dismissed his desire to be with Malia because their relationship was a little less good at the moment. Reiji invites Malia to speak from heart to heart.

Not because of the matter of combining love that became Reiji's top priority to invite Malia to talk from heart to heart. But Reiji wants to eliminate the discomfort that is currently being rolled in his relationship and Malia at the age of their marriage which is only running approximately four months.

“Iya so.”

Reiji replied, as he got up from his seat to go to the bathroom and ablaze.

****

Reiji and Malia had finished worshiping together.

The real thing is often done by Reiji and Malia if there is a chance.

But for the past few days - despite the opportunity, because the relationship between the two is said to be tenuous, Reiji and Malia worship alone.

“You talking here or where?” reiji asked, as he and Malia had tidied up their worship equipment and put it back in place.

“In the lounge only yes?.”

“Ya udah.”

Malia nodded in response to Reiji's invitation.

“You go first aja Rei, just me follow.” said Malia, because she wanted to take her phone that reads. Which is the sound of the notification of incoming messages.

“OK,” sahut Reiji. “I make tea want? I'd like to make coffee.”

Reiji paused his steps, then turned to Malia who was picking up her phone.

Malia nodded again.

“Iya can.”

Malia replied, looked at Reiji for a moment, then turned to her phone.

“Rei.”

Reiji paused his steps again, when he heard Malia calling him.

“Ya?.” says Reiji.

“It looks like we have to delay our time to talk tonight.”
