"Indra's? Sleep well?"


Vaporizing slowly and momentarily rubbing her neck, Indra was still in a semi-conscious state when Indri offered her a glass of water. The man drank it greedily. "Lumayan," he retorted sleepily.


Indri did not blink, paying attention to the look of Indra's face which is still typical longing-cuff and blanket. The woman continued to stir the soup. "Didn't you come home late last night because of overtime? You can go back to sleep, if you want."


"No. That's enough." Sitting down and dropping a lazy face on the dining table, Indra wrapped her own head in two arms. "My sleep was good enough because of last night's dream ...."


Indri momentarily looked at the husband gawking. "Not usually." He then cut the vegetables and involuntarily smiled. "What's your dream? Is beautiful? So you can sleep well?"


"I dreamt of you."


Indri almost cut his own finger.

Indra gasped awake when she heard a stifled scream. Still lying down, the man stared around-somewhat hard due to the dim state of the room. Indra also caught a shivering silhouette and was sitting next to him.


Careful, Indra stood up and touched the shoulder of the silhouette. "... Indri?"


Indri was aghast and turned his hand to fumble like Indra with trembling. His voice was soft and husky. "... Indra ...? Is that ...?"


Indra caught both hands Indri who moved erratically, asking him to calm down. "It's me" she whispered softly. His grip tightened gently. "I'm here."


Indra felt Indri's hand tremble again. Suddenly Indri lunged at him - too suddenly until Indra was not ready and fell overwritten by the woman.


Indra was more fixated on Indri who was crying on his shoulder. Indri's arms hugged her tightly. His wife's body was still shivering, but it was purely due to overwhelming relief.


First time, Indri had a bad dream about Indra. I don't know what kind of picture Indri saw to cry like this.

The storm last night seems to be continuing. The proof, drizzle happens out there. The condition of the room was still a bit dim even though it was already seven in the morning. The smell of wet soil even smelled clear even though the room window was tightly closed.


It was a cold morning, but Indri remained awake in warmth. Not just because the blanket covered it was limited to the chest. With his position on his back facing the ceiling, inexplicably Indri was warm enough with his sturdy arms that hugged his waist from the side now. His neck also felt warm because the subtle breath of Indra is still-well so comfortable gluing the cheek on his shoulder. Paying attention to Indra who is so calm and peaceful in sleep has become a plus so that Indri feels not cold at all.


Indri smiled amusedly as he watched the man more closely. Indra's malleability really reminded her of a small child - a face that loosened innocently, hair that was messy, lips that slightly opened to the airway, the, even to hug Indri until this much for someone who still sleeps soundly. Indri very rarely sees this - Indra always wakes up first from him, then the woman until she feels at home linger in this position. Even so, Indri still had to prepare breakfast. He suspected that Indra was still tired after overtime last night. Indri carefully marginalized the arms of Indra who hugged him, then wanted to rise.


Indra suddenly hugged him tighter. The man's eyes opened and looked at Indri half-sleepy. "... Where to?" lirihnya.


"It's morning. Time to wake up." Indri again held back a smile seeing Indra's tangled face. "I must-"


"I'm not hungry yet." Indra clasped closer as his face became more and more slender on Indri's shoulder. Eyes closed. "Let's go to sleep again."


"But I still have to-"


"Shut up here. I'm still sleepy. Still chilly. It's still raining outside."


"Then sleep. I should--"


"Don't get up, Indri," whispered Indra lazily. His face was getting in between Indri's hair. "I'm more comfortable like this."


Indri clumsily for a few seconds. He just realized that Indra is indeed being very spoiled now. "I want you to be able to eat right away after waking up," he persuaded gently. "You need more energy-"


Indra finally sultry enough to rise and kiss quickly Indri lips. The man fell back and hugged more tightly. "But I need you more." In the next seconds, Indra again fell peacefully.


Indri can not be anything else but resigned with a red hue on the face that is difficult to lose.
