Istikharah
Dinners

"Thank you for tonight" Leon said, holding Arini's hand on the table.

"I should be thanking you. You prepared all this" said Arini, staring at Leon.

Leon lowered his head for a moment, then looked at Arini. "I'm happy." Only that word can come out of Leon's mouth.

I'm happier. Arini said in her heart.

"I've hurt you too much. But you still want to hang on with me. I feel so ashamed, Rin. I'm like a useless man" said Leon while staring at the dishes that were dirty because they had finished eating.

Someday you'll know why I've come this far, Leon. Inner Arini.

"Hey... We are having a romantic dinner. Come onl... Cheerfully. Forget about the past" said Arini, patting Leon on the shoulder slowly. "Let's see the view down there. Cool, right?"

Leon followed Arini's line of sight. He looked out. From the top of the skyscraper. There is a clear view of the city night bathed in light.

Very lovely.

"I hope we can often be like this" Leon said without taking his eyes off the night view.

Both are happily dissolved. A moment of silence and no sound.

"I want to see Jasmine again. Can, huh?" arini Whine. Three times Arini visits Jasmine and gets a silent gift from Becca, it makes Leon strictly forbid Arini to visit Jasmine again.

Leon didn't mean to be bad, he just wasn't nice to Arini and Becca. If Arini wants to visit Jasmine, later if everything has improved.

"You know for yourself, don't you, honey, what Becca looks like. He doesn't want to talk to us. It's best to hold off until Becca gets better" Leon said carefully.

Arini breathed heavily. Actually he did not like to be let go by Becca, but on the one hand he wanted to visit Jasmine. Who knows, it could be a lure to get pregnant again.

Arini has long wanted a baby. His marriage to Leon has been running for 6 years, but until now has not been given a baby. Seeing Jasmine made Arini excited. But if Leon doesn't let him meet Jasmine, what can Arini do?

"Yes, next time I visit the beautiful baby" said Arini slowly. "You have to fix this mess, Leon! Before things get complicated," he continued in a soft voice.

"Surely, Rin. I will definitely fix this mess" Leon said confidently. After all, this mess he himself made. So he also has to clean it up.

"By the way the cooking is good. No more leftovers, huh?" arini said as she stared at the empty plate on the table.

"There was. Want again?" tawar Leon and is possessed by Arini.

Leon went straight to the kitchen and picked up the remaining food. They then ate it together.

Today Arini's appetite is good. Until he ate enough.

"Darling, are you asleep?" ask Leon slowly.

"Yet. What was? Chat from whom is it?" asked Arini with closed eyes. He was already sleepy and was about to sleep. But the sound of Leon's cell phone makes Arini awake again.

"From Diana's. The regular... He's talking nonsense that doesn't matter. Sorry I forgot to turn into silent mode. You must be distracted, huh?" said Leon while putting his phone on the nightstand.

"Good night, baby," Leon replied.

Arini was asleep soon. It can be seen from his breathing that began to be regular. But once Leon still can not sleep, he rang a message from Diana who had just entered.

Leon, you dare to play me. Just look at the surprise I'm about to give you.

That was the message Diana sent. I don't know what kind of surprise Diana promised. But Leon can smell the bad things Diana would do.

***

Jasmine, the little elf who has always been Leon's reason for staying patient with Becca. Tonight he went home to Becca, because it was time to sleep there.

"Jasmine... Beautiful Papa's son, sleeping again turns out," Leon kissed the lightning on Jasmine's cheek lying in the crib.

Seeing that, Becca just kept quiet. He fell asleep in bed while playing his phone. Leon used to get things like that. So that he is no longer surprised. Being inhabited by Becca is nothing new to Leon.

"When are you like this?" leon asked while sitting on the side of the bed. "When do you want our relationship to be like this, Bec?" Leon looked at Becca. He was always waiting for words to come out of Becca's mouth.

Silent.

There was no answer from Becca.

"What do you want? Tell me, how am I supposed to make you forgive me?" ask Leon again. He never stopped asking Becca to talk. Although never responded by Becca.

Becca put her phone on the nightstand and started lying down to sleep. "I'm bored, Mom. You can't even be fair as a husband." Finally Becca opened her voice.

"I'm sorry, but I promise to fix this mess" Leon said solemnly. "Please forgive me, Bec" he said once again.

Jasmine's crying voice made the two forget for a moment their conversation. Leon swiftly checked Jasmine's condition. "It looks hungry" he said.

Without saying anything, Becca immediately carried Jasmine and gave her an exclusive ASI.

"Oh, yes. I forgot something" Leon said. He took something from his bag. "Make Jasmine. From Arini." Leon thrust out a keropi doll hugging a jasmine flower. The doll was very small, just a fistful of an adult.

Jasmine can't play a doll like that. Fear of being eaten by the red baby. But those dolls can be saved for a give when Jasmine is big, right?

Becca takes the doll and puts it in Jasmine's closet. "Thank you" he said coldly.

Cold is better than silent. Inner Leon.

A pretty good advance found Becca willing to talk. Even with a very cold tone and expression.

After Jasmine was full, Becca put her daughter back to sleep in the crib next to her bed. Becca didn't put Jasmine to bed with him. Fear overcame. Understand, Becca is a little rough during sleep.

"I'm sorry for all my mistakes" Leon said again as Becca lay next to him.

"Sleep. It's night." It's night." Becca covers herself to the chest and turns her back on Leon.

Leon could only stroke his chest to be patient. He'll never give up on getting Becca to talk.
