Seeing a woman who is loved grieve for another man, who is not upset. Not jealous.
Some days the King is just trying to understand the feelings of the wife. Know what the relationship between Rani and Haikal has been like. Although he did not like the fact Haikal liked his wife. Even to fall ill after Rani married him.
But seeing the tears on the face of the wife who always welcomed him home with a smile, made the King could no longer tolerate Haikal. Because he was sure the reason his wife was crying was Haikal. And now he really wants to teach Haikal who has made Raninya shed tears. Unfortunately the man who really wanted to make battered was lying helplessly on top of the hospital cage.
It was not her intention to keep an eye on Rani. He only asked one of his confidants to take care of his wife. Because the King is aware of having many enemies both business and women who feel he hurt.
From his confidant, the King knew that Haikal was conscious and rejected Rani's presence and made his wife come home sad.
"Why didn't you say you came home so fast? I can pick it up."
Rani who was in his arms shook her head and replied. "Sister King must be busy in the office. Then Rani can go home by taxi."
Rani helps take off the suit and tie she wears. And asked when he refused to be invited to the room as usual. "Not shower yet, brother?" the wife asked as she rolled up her shirt sleeves.
"What do you want to eat? let me masakin."
Maybe cooking was enough to distract the King. Not for Rani though. But the King hopes that with the cooking he made, he can entertain his wife a little.
The smile of the wife made her eager to cook. But he could not cook what his wife wanted because of the non-existent ingredients. Be he processing the materials in the refrigerator.
"It looks like he hasn't been shopping. Cooking pasta is okay, right? or do you want to wait for me to shop first?"
Again his wife smiled. This time with a warm embrace that rarely his wife initiative to do so.
"Pasta is enough, brother. Let Rani help." But of course the King refused. He wanted to entertain his wife with the dishes he made. Not cooking together.
After asking Rani to sit across the counter, Raja started to move his hand to cook a pasta to be more special.
It did not take long until the pasta with shrimp and broccoli toppings presented in front of the wife. With its cream sauce.
"Eat a lot" he said touching the wife's hair that was not wrapped in hijab. Looks greedy eating pasta that still reflects smoke. Occasionally tuck the hair that fell over his shoulder as his wife lowered her head. Sometimes she throws a sweet smile at him.
"Eat the right" he said again wiping the pasta sauce on the tip of Rani's lips. I am glad that his wife is smiling again. Remembering the look on Rani's face when she came home earlier, made her turn serious. "Just this time you're crying over another man. Never again" he said softly but firmly.
***
Rani is indeed quite sad with Haikal who looks angry at her. Or even that guy hates her.
The time they spent together for decades made him unable to accept such an ending.
Rani already considers and loves Haikal as a friend, friend and even brother. He never thought his relationship with Haikal would end badly.
The king did not ask anything when he got home. Though Rani believes her eyes and nose are still red after powerless to hold back tears and cry alone.
The king offered to cook. Making her stomach filled with only a little food before leaving for the hospital is now hungry and does not refuse her husband's offer. Although the offer to help was simply rejected by the King.
The King's cooking never disappointed him. Just smelling the aroma alone has made his stomach rumble. I don't know where the guy learned to cook. The other side is inversely proportional to what he knew before marriage.
The king rubbed his hair and asked him to eat a lot. Maybe her husband could see her starving from the way she ate. And the King's next words made him freeze and feel guilty.
"Just this time you're crying over another man. Never again."
He slowly raised his face and turned to look at the husband who this time displayed a stern expression. Even his jaw muscles look tightened.
"I don't forbid you from being friends with Haikal. But since you are now my wife, make friends accordingly."
"Sorry brother." his great-grandson was scared. Swallow the last paste in the mouth.
"No need to apologize. You just need to know that your husband is jealous." The king rubbed his eyelids which instantly closed got that soft touch. "I don't like to share. Even the slightest bit of how you feel."
The king stood up and took care of their empty plates. "You can be assertive with your own feelings." Rani stared at the wide back that was washing the dishes. "If you still feel sad for another man. I can let you go even if I don't want to."
"SISTER!" she did not accept what her husband said. How could the King so easily say that.
"I just don't want you to be sad." said the King turned to look at him. Take off the washing gloves and place them carelessly. "If being by my side makes you cry for another man. I can free you from that sadness."
Rani was about to argue, but immediately interrupted by the King who rested his hands on the counter and leaned towards him. "For that, never cry for another man. Show me that you're happy to be by my side." the man's gaze sharply hit his sight.
Unable to bear, Rani moved from her seat and around the counter to be able to hug her husband and cry there. Lean in the field that becomes the most comfortable place after marriage.
"Sorry brother. Rani promises not to cry for another man anymore. Rani would be sadder without the King. The king's brother must never say that again."
The king returned his embrace warmly. Swiping his back up and down. "I'm just afraid to make you sad and lose you." whispered the King in his ear.
For a long time they hugged each other, until somehow their lips were already linked to each other. Only the sound of their lips was heard in the room. A calming kiss that turns increasingly hot.
And the King easily lifted Rani's body and sat her on the counter. Ask for completion for what they have started on a day that is still afternoon.
