Istikharah
JI 2 - Kidnapping

"Where are you actually taking me? It's night, Leon. Pity the children if we stay, " said Arini, looking at Leon with annoyance. Her husband said nothing before leaving. He suddenly pulled himself into the car.

Leon who was sitting behind the wheel turned a glance towards Arini with a mysterious smile. Leon did kidnap Arini on purpose these nights. His brain is in turmoil, it needs entertainment.

Before leaving, Leon had left his children to his father and mother. And tonight, he just wants to be alone with Arini.

"Leon!" Arini pursed her lips five centi meters away. She was upset, just this afternoon she came home from work, now kidnapped by her own husband. She was not tired, but she missed her children. Want to spend time with them.

"Yes? What's?" leon replied with his innocent look.

Arini snorted softly, she threw her face into the left window. Look at the lights on the skyscrapers they pass by.

It's eleven o'clock at night. Otherwise because of work, Arini never came out this late. And tonight, Arini's not out of work.

Because from last asked but not answered by Leon, Arini finally chose to stay still and look at the night view from behind the window. He will know later too.

Besides, Leon wouldn't be able to take her to a dangerous place. So, instead of spending energy asking, he would rather just shut up.

After driving for a long time, Leon stopped his car on a hill. A place far from the heart of the city.

Arini looked around in confusion. What is this place? As if he had never been here.

"What is this place?" ask Arini after they get out of the car.

Leon was sitting on a large rock. "It's my favorite place to be upset" Leon said, staring at Arini from the moonlight.

Arini sat down next to Leon. He was amazed at the sight before him. "That's great," he murmured.

Leon smiled at Arini. He's happy that Arini's happy.

"You come here often?" arini asked while looking at Leon.

"I'm here when I'm upset. You could say often," Leon replied as he stared at the scene in front of him.

"Ck. You are indeed an exasperator" said Arini while chuckling.

"And my gala is always lost when it sees you" Leon said as he stared fixedly at Arini.

"Keep that fight! I won't blush" Arini said, pulling out her phone. He then captured several photos of the scenery in front of him.

Just as Leon was about to respond to Arini's remark earlier, Arini had said again. "I'm immortalizing this place. If you miss, just look at the photo."

"If you miss, I can bring you here again."

"Seriously?"

"Of course it's serious."

"Thank you" said Arini complete with a sweet smile. He put his phone back in his pants pocket.

In front of them was a night view with very beautiful lights. Yes, underneath them there is residential housing. And now they are on the hill.

They were silent for quite a while. Both were busy enjoying the beautiful view.

"So, are you upset now?" ask Arini after they have been quiet for a long time.

"You can say that" replied Leon. "Om Reza is still free to roam happily, while I'm running the company. The company's debt piled up because of him, "glued Leon while tightly grasping the small new one in his left hand.

"I will always help you as much as I can" Arini said. He hugged Leon tightly. At the moment Leon is in a lot of trouble, her husband needs support. And Arini will always support her husband.

"Thank you, honey." Leon hugged Arini tightly. "Tonight, I want to spend time with you. We haven't been together like this for a long time" he said.

Leon smiled happily at it.

They have not spent time alone for a long time. Especially when Leon chose polygamy.

And now, Arini is preoccupied with two boys. Leon was also busy taking care of the company. Times like this are very rare for them.

"What if we don't have to go home tonight?" leon proposes while raising his eyebrows.

"Well?!" Arini surprise. "Don't go home?" He repeated Leon's words just now.

"Yes. We'll just sleep here."

Arini shook her head strongly. "What if there's a robbery? Here the woods, the residents' houses are way down there. If there's anything, who's gonna help us?"

Seeing Arini's terrified expression, Leon chuckled softly. "Just calm down, honey. This place is safe, really. I've stayed here a few times."

"here? Sleeping on the ground? Sky-roofed?" ask Arini not to believe it.

Again Leon chuckled while shaking his head. "Sleep in the car, honey."

"Ohh..." Arini nodded her head in understanding.

"Hows it? You agree?"

"What about the kids? Tomorrow morning they'll be looking for us."

"I'll chat Mama, tonight we don't go home. Mama can handle Yusuf. If it was Jasmine, the kid was already a big boy. It can be independent," Leon said while removing his phone from his pants pocket.

The man then sent a message to his mother. Tell them tonight they'll sleep outside the house.

"Done," he said as he again kept the phone in his pants pocket. "It looks like you're cold. I'll grab a jacket in the car."

"It turns out he prepared this well" Arini muttered as he saw Leon had gotten into the car.

At the time of departure, Arini had no preparation at all. He only wears long toad pants with a long-sleeved shirt and an instant hijab. Not carrying a jacket because he did not expect to be taken to a place like this.

"Wear, here!" Leon put his jacket on Arini.

Arini looked back, likely nodding with a smile.

"Hows it? It's warm?" leon asked after he sat down next to Arini.

"Already" answered Arini. Leon's jacket is oversized on his body. But that's okay, it makes it even warmer.

"You're the first person I brought here."

"I'm not sure."

"Oh, huh? You doubted me? Don't believe me, hm?" Leon cupped Arini's face in dismay.

"Leon, something is moving at my feet" said Arini in fear. He was afraid that it was a dangerous beast. Arini is about to look down, but is held back by Leon.

"Don't switch the conversation, my dear." Leon brought his face closer to Arini's.

Suddenly, Arini screamed hysterically. "Aarrgghh!"

The shocked Leon immediately released Arini. And he found a snake at Arini's feet. The snake bit his wife's right leg.
