Sakti POV
The voice of the dawn Adzhan sounded so loud in my ears. I saw the clock on my bed, showing it at 04:30 in the morning.
"Just slept 2 hours tumben was awake" my mind then flicked the blanket that covered part of my body.
Zeas...
My first memory when I woke up this morning was directly on her. I don't know what happened to me, all I know is that the shadows didn't stop swirling around in my mind after I first saw them last night. The first time after nine months I never met him even though we lived in a house with the same roof. I hit my head trying to wake myself up and throw Zea's shadow out of my mind.
"Crazy!!! This original is crazy!!! Yes, the next time I think of him until he can't sleep, wake up at this hour and think of him again. Something is complete like my brain nerve." I muttered annoyed.
But the more I tried to cast her shadow the more she stuck in my mind. It is imagined how the wind last night stroked her face that looks beautiful and soft wrapped in a hijab, even though she tried to hide her face but under the light of the lamp it seemed more curious to my heart to observe it more and more, and the way it runs since when it looks beautiful and has a charming aura of elegance.
"Ouuuhh Shiuittt!!! I why the hell???" my grunts grew irritated, and then I tried to calm myself by getting out of bed and jumping up and down, then set my breath long hoping that the shadow of Zea following me could leave.
Fail!!!
All the ways I failed I just wanted to see her more and more soon. Yep! I have to see her again this morning, no matter what! But what if he suspects? To hell with the results later he will think what I look like, the important thing is that I meet him!!! Must!!!
I immediately took a shower and put on my best clothes, and tidied up my bow to make it look as attractive as possible by lightning. I stood in front of the mirror, watching the reflection of my reflection behind what seemed to be the maximum.
"Why did I become like a Junior High kid who just met love? How ridiculous I am now!" my inner self then however did not diminish my intention and passion to meet Zea. I'm sure she must have left for work so early because we never met once. Then at 05:30 I rushed down.
"Good morning sir." Sapa mbok Nah from under the stairs surprised me.
"Eh mbok Well kagetin. Morning is also mbok." I replied as I gave her my first sweet smile today.
But not a warm smile every respect as usual mbok Nah give, it looks is a mirage that is amazed from the face that looks have begun to wrinkle it. I understand the confusion with my change of attitude, maybe even Nah feels strange because I have been indifferent to everyone and everything in this house since the death of my mother. The most important thing for me is that my house is clean, and all my needs are available, after all all the home affairs I leave to my secretary Dian and Adam to handle all.
"Em, tumben father leaving in the morning? Are you going out of town?"
"Well, I woke up this morning and couldn't sleep anymore so I was ready for work."
"Want me to prepare breakfast now?"
"Can, but,-"
"But what?"
"It's not up yet, is it?" I asked as I glanced at Zea's room door.
"Mom Zea?"
I nodded at the sign of assuring.
"Udah from before dawn sir. But it's out now."
"Huh? Is this already gone?" reflex I asked almost screamed.
"Yes, every morning Zea leaves early."
"Well, this early mbok?" I was disappointed that I failed to meet him.
"Yes from after the dawn prayer."
"What job goes so early?" my grumbling from disappointment and annoyance had woken up so early still did not manage to meet him.
"Eh, Ms. Zea is not going to work, sir, but a walk around the complex park near the house."
"Walk in the garden?" tanyaku with passion because getting a glimmer of hope from the explanation mbok Nah.
"Yes sir, jog."
"Who's the guy?"
"Himself."
"Kok himself anyway? It's still dark what if there's something evil with him?" I don't know why, but my heart was so anxious because my head flashed what if something was idle or evil to Zea.
"Hah.." mbok Nah bangtung answered my question which I'm sure looked very panicked in his eyes.
I no longer cared about Nah who still looked bengog, I quickly walked out leaving her to catch up with Zea. Suddenly I felt very worried for him, the shadows of zea in danger swirled around in my head.
"Pak Dadang quickly open the gate!" I shouted at Mr. Dadang when I was a few meters away from the gate.
Mr. Dadang looked nervous as he quickly opened the gate.
I ran as fast as I could to the garden in the middle of the housing complex a few hundred meters from my house.
There are some people who are walking casually and stretch their body muscles in this park some of them in pairs and also appear to bring small children who are engrossed in swinging and running.
I threw my eyes away in all directions looking for Zea, and finally I saw a figure doing a simple stretch in sportswear not forgetting the matching colored hijab wrapped around a slender body.
I'm sure my lips are smiling at the moment, I can't hide the relief and joy in my heart of finally being able to find and look at it.
I was just about to walk to see him but I saw a man running up to him. I decided to hold back my steps, I observed their interaction from quite a close distance.
The pleasure I had just felt evaporating was simply changed with dislike or even anger seeing Zea turned out to be that close to other men when she was still my wife. Maybe I'm jealous.
Huh! Of jealousy? Just be right! I just want her to make sure that she will keep her honor and my honor as long as she is my wife.
"Who is that guy? Could it be Zea's boyfriend? So behind me she already has a boyfriend? It was only fitting that he had never appeared to me at all, apparently because he already had another man. Then he's lying! She promised to keep herself from slander while being my wife, but what the hell is this?" my mind raged wondering who that man was.
Before long the man seemed to leave Zea, unwilling to waste the time I quickly set my feet to meet him.
"Zeez.." Sapaku from the side.
Zea looked surprised by my sudden presence, her eyes were festering and her lips were ringing.
"God, Your creation is beautiful, O Allah. Why haven't I noticed it all this time."
"Mas Sakti,-" Zea said my name as her eyes darted around.
"Search what?"
"Who's Mas Sakti?"
"Himself."
"Oh, man,.. Why?"
"Yes your bicycle, jog, exercise" I replied giving an excuse while moving both hands with stretching movements.
"Mas Sakti sure here to jog?" asked Zea with a face full of question marks.
"Yes. Why why anyway? Weird?"
Zea nodded her face, though,
"What's so weird?" manya curious.
"The weird mas Sakti outfit. Why do sports wear shirts like you want to work?"
"Huh?" that's all I can get out of my mouth. Gone face, died fleas, and died instantly when I realized the will was lying on my stupid grounds.
"Emmm... I... earlier.." I scratched my non-itchy nape while looking for a new reason.
Seeing my dead nervousness, Zea's style chuckled small while closing her mouth, but it looked attractive and adorable in my eyes. I should have run away in embarrassment but seeing Zea's sweet and adorable laugh I realized I was smiling and enjoying her shy expression.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to laugh at Sakti" he said after stopping laughing.
"No papa. I also didn't realize that I was wearing clothes like this for jogging." I answered stupidly.
Zea smiled again at my answer. I don't care anymore about lying in front of this woman. His smile was too beautiful to ignore.
"Emmm... Yes already mas Sakti want to continue jogging or how? I'm going home."
"I want to go home too. Later more and more laughed at by many people because of the wrong costume."
"Mas can do it."
"Ep... We're going home together?" invite me spirit.
"Mas Sakti sure?"
I sniffed both my shoulders.
"Are you embarrassed because I got the wrong costume, or.."
"No, not that, but..."
"That's it, nothing but, let's go home!" take me with spirit.
We walked casually towards the house, I deliberately walked slowly to buy time so that more could be near him. Tell me when I'm crazy or something, in fact I really want and happy to do it.
"Please take a shower." said Zea when we got home together.
"Yes, I want to change my clothes again."
Zea chuckled again to see me deliberately embarrassing myself by reminding her that I was wrongly dressed for sport.
Zea walked away from me who was still standing down by the stairs watching her.
"Zee.." call me make him turn back.
"Yes, why?"
"Finished shower we had breakfast together. Byee..." finished saying that I immediately ran up to my room. I did it on purpose because I didn't want to hear any more excuses than the rejection from Zea. Am I being so selfish? Yes indeed I really want to force him to continue to be close to me from now on!.
I feel my spirit this morning is very high. Although last night lack of sleep but did not feel weak or sleepy at all. I quickly changed my clothes and came back down, I sat down at the table and mbok Well also other maids who had come to prepare breakfast dishes on the table. I realized I was so excited that I didn't know how many times I'd looked at the door of Zea's room that was still tightly shut. It felt like a long time was waiting for him.
"Nah Well call Zea I've been waiting for breakfast together." I asked Mbok Nah who was pouring water in my classroom.
"Yes sir."
"Oh but don't, let me wait."
Mbok Nah nodded.
Ceklek...
The sound of Zea's bedroom door being opened.
"God willing.." I muttered.
Zea came out of the room with an extraordinary appearance. The sky blue Muslim dress blends in clean white, with natural makeup looks to increase the level of beauty dramatically.
With an elegant appearance and walking gracefully he approached towards me.
"Mas.."Her bribe awakened me from the sense of fear of seeing it.
"Sorry long wait. Mas Sakti should not have to wait if I'm late." he said in a hurry to look guilty face has made me wait for him.
"No papa. Let's have breakfast, it's preoccupied mbok Nah."
"What do you want to eat?" ask while looking at the food menu available on the table.
"Ehh..."
"Yeah what do you want to eat? Shall I get it?" re-enactment clarifies my point.
"No, I don't have to take it myself. I should have taken it for the Sakti mas." replied Zea.
"Can. Eggs and vegetable salad."
I saw Zea smiling very sweetly and immediately stood up and prepared my request.
"Thank you."
Zea replied back by giving her sweet smile and a small nod.
"Oh Allah, all this feels like a normal family and feels very beautiful. If I may wish to continue like this, let me fix everything." I pray in silence.
"Oh yes Zee where do you work now?"
"I'm at the cafe."
"Which cafe?"
"D'Generation Cafe"
"Oh yeah yeah I know, that's the place he said again hitz for the young man huh?"
Zea seemed to be smiling.
"Do you know where that nghitz is?"
"See the news online and,-" I didn't go on. I'm grateful I didn't ruin the fun this morning by mentioning another woman's name. Vivian, yes she once took me to that cafe. He said many artists and celebrities went to the cafe and created content there that eventually became trending.
"And what?" zoe asked, looking curious.
"And in the news it is mentioned there are many artists and selebgrams who make vlogs in the cafe. He also said the owner is cute, maybe it is also a plus point why the cafe is crowded."
"Openkk..." Zea chokes on food, quickly I take water for her to drink
"Be careful when you eat. Drink first!"
Moments after Zea had eased her cough I continued the conversation with the theme of the cafe where she worked. At least the chat with that theme becomes a chat that is not awkward.
"The owner is handsome?"
"Ep... I don't think so."
"Are you not as interested in the owner as the customers in the news?"
Zea shook her head.
"Thank God." I replied in relief.
"meaning?"
"Em.. I mean you don't follow alay like the customer reported it."
"Indeed mas Sakti when reading the news do not see the owner's photo?"
I shook my head, because in fact in the news there was no face of the owner who posted only looks photos of the atmosphere of the cafe.
