LOVE IN THE ARMS OF DUSK
26
They actually left that night also from the Daniar residence, Nura felt a heavy burden on her heart had been lifted, she felt relieved, when they reached Fatih's house when it was already showing early morning.
Fatih was still in her expensive suit, several times she was seen yawning walking beside Nura.
“I didn't know that getting married would be this late,” said Fatih, taking off his shoes, he walked on. They went into Fatih's room, fortunately Paula had cleaned her room yesterday afternoon.
“I want to take a shower,” said Nura, Fatih handed her a new towel from the closet.
“Her bathroom was there,” he said, his face completely lethargic.
Nura immediately took a bath, he did not want Fatih to wait too long, he quickly rinsed his body, when he came out, he saw Fatih had bathed and changed clothes, the man was curled up on the bed.
Fatih's asleep.
Nura dried her hair, glanced at the wall clock, at four in the morning, it was natural that Fatih was very tired. Nura stroked her husband's face, Fatih moved, opening one of her eyes.
“Sleep, two more hours in the morning,” he said as he pulled Nura into his arms.
Nura also felt tired, she was not used to being hugged by others except her mother, but Fatih's embrace was very warm, it didn't take long for Nura to fall asleep.

The sunlight pierced through the cracks of the window curtain, Nura blinked, feeling Fatih's breath on her neck, the man hugged her tightly like a bolster.
Nura glanced at the wall clock, feeling shocked when she realized it was nine in the morning, this is the record of waking up the most noon during her life, she felt her sleep was the most sound sleep.
Carefully he removed Fatih's hand from his body, the man was undisturbed, remaining soundly asleep.
Nura felt her stomach starve, she rushed to bathe and get dressed, then stepped her feet into the kitchen. There was no one there, Fatih's mansion looked lonely and silent, even Malik who drove them home early this morning did not reveal his nose.
“What does Fatih like?” Nura asked himself, he always saw Fatih eating beside him, but he did not see Fatih like or dislike certain foods, the man ate anything.
Nura concluded Fatih would eat anything, he moved open the refrigerator, took some eggs and tomatoes.
Nura is not good at cooking, she never has time and only eats perfunctory, at the Daniar house, she sometimes helps Yiyi cook.
He cooked egg fried rice based on his memory recipe, when it was ripe, Fatih got down from the room while yawning widely.
“What are you cooking? I am hungry,” Fatih said as he sat at the dining table, propping up his chin. His eyes were still soft, visible when he woke up from his sleep, Fatih went straight down to the kitchen.
“I cooked egg fried rice,” Nura said, her hand moved to hand over a plate of fried rice in front of Fatih, along with a spoon and fork.
“Wah, this is our first meal!” Fatih, as always enthusiastic in small matters, his smile this morning was very wide.
“You remember it?” Nura asked, a little surprised it turned out that Fatih remembered their first meeting.
“I always remember about you,” said Fatih again, they sat face to face at the dining table.
Fatih put one mouthful into her mouth, she chewed it and remained silent for quite a while.
“What's bad?” Nura asked, this is his first meal for Fatih.
“This is delicious,” said Fatih while sipping his tea.
“Just too bland, you don't add salt?”
Nura scooped the fried rice in front of him and chewed it slowly, feeling it carefully.
“I add, maybe too little.”
“Don't be sad, I keep eating it, kok.”
Staring at the reflection of his face on the windowpanes, it remained flat as usual.
Fatih noticed Nura's silence, she laughed softly.
“Do not think, do you not want to eat it? Just give it to me I'm still hungry.” Fatih stretched out her hand, was about to take Nura's plate, but the girl instead shifted and handed the crackers to her hand.
This is the food, how is it possible to take it? He had even eaten a spoon, Fatih had eaten a plate.
Fatih laughed, he did not really intend to take the plate, only teasing his wife.
“Where is everyone?” Nura asked when she had finished her rice, Fatih took Nura's plate and her plate, took her to the sink to wash.
“They told me to take one day off,” said Fatih, Nura noticed how deft Fatih was washing dishes.
“Why?”
“I want two with you, what else?”
Nura did not reply, his eyes were busy exploring the contents of Fatih's house.
“Come with me,” said Fatih, bringing Nura to the back porch, the warm morning air immediately felt Nura.
They walked, in the backyard there was a small pond, Nura thought it was a fish pond, but he was wrong, it was a turtle pond.
“They are my pets,” said Fatih showing off a turtle the size of his palm, in the pool there are still three similar turtles, twitching on the fringes of the lotus leaves.
Nura sat down next to Fatih, stuck out his hand touching his head, the turtle snapped and stuffed his head into his shell.
Fatih laughs, “She is indeed shy.”
“Do you give him a name?”
“No,” said Fatih while putting the turtle back into the water.
“I gave them number.” Fatih pointed to the smallest turtle, “this is number one, this is number two, number three and the one you touched was number four, I gave them the number in the order of their path.”
Nura extended her hand into the water, the smallest turtle approached and touched it.
“Si number one likes you.”
Nura felt Fatih like a child who was showing off her toys, her mouth did not stop chattering about her pet turtle, from the feed, from the feeding, the origin of the turtle until his plan to make a larger pool that Uncle Zoe opposed.
Nura only said a few words, Fatih would reply him a hundred words, Nura smiled, staying with Fatih is not bad, she will not feel lonely.
“Oh, you smile! Do you like number one so much?”
No, Fatih. I like you.
Fatih went back to telling me how she found the number one as a child, sometimes she chuckles at remembering the past.
“At last I brought it home.” Fatih ended her story once she felt Nura was not responding to it.
“Nura no ap ...” Fatih's words were cut when Nura's lips touched her cheek, Nura was unable to stand up and left Fatih quickly.
Fatih was stunned, touched her cheek then smiled.
“I didn't know that my wife was so shy.” He caught up with Nura and hugged her from the side, inhaling the scent of her girl shampoo deeply. Nura's tiny body was very fitting hugged by him, the girl did not refuse, she actually hugged Fatih tightly back.
