My best friend, Maduku
Vacation 3

Day seven, Anand and Alsya vacation, but they choose to stay in the hotel. It was due to the condition of Alsya's body that suddenly had a high fever this morning.

Anand was never far from his wife. He had contacted the doctor to check Alsya's condition and after being examined, it turned out that Alsya was shocked by the temperature here. Alsya who is not strong enough to withstand the cold winter weather makes him have to rest enough to lower his fever.

The room temperature was raised to twice as much as before by Anand because he was so worried about his wife.

From the morning Alsya still kept her eyes closed probably because her unhealthy body made her sleep very well for hours.

"Darling... Alsaa..." Call Anand in a very gentle voice to wake his wife up.

It was time for Alsya to take her medicine so that Anand could not bear to disturb the wife's deep sleep.

Alsya squirmed her body and slowly her eyes opened. "A'..." Mumbled wailing.

"Eat first yuk?, continue taking medicine dear."

"What time is it ?."

"It's one o'clock in the afternoon."

Alsya widened her eyes then looked at her husband's face. "Aa's already praying dhuhur ?." Ask later.

"So, sorry I didn't wake you up because it was hot you haven't come down yet." Anand said regretfully.

He put the back of his hand on his forehead, cheeks and neck Alsya which is true if now the heat Alsya has gone down even though it is still a little anget.

"It's okay, A. I want to pray first.." Alsya tries to sit down and Anand immediately helps her.

"I'll take you to the bathroom, okay ?."

"Yes." Yeah."

Alsya was led into the bathroom and Anand went out before his wife closed the bathroom door.

Alsya prayed with a weak and helpless state. Plus the weather that still feels cold makes him shiver even more.

Anand simply fell silent watching his wife pray. He would not go anywhere while waiting for his wife to finish praying.

After the last greeting of the prayer cover, Anand approached and helped his wife release her face and cleaned it then returned to the body of Alsya to climb up to the bed again.

"Now eat it ?." Anand took out a bowl filled with porridge on the table.

Patently, Anand feeds Alsya until it is almost finished and Alsya is not willing to continue eating again.

"Aa' eat yet ?." Alsya asked because she was worried that her husband was too busy taking care of her to forget himself.

Anand put his bowl on the table again then he sat down beside Alsya. Bringing Alsya's body into his arms to share the warmth.

"I ate it already."

"When ?."

"Eee, that was when you fell asleep."

"What time is it ?."

Anand fell silent at a loss to answer Alsya's question. "Darling..."

"Aa' takes care of me but Aa' ignores her own health." Sewot Alsya did not like the attitude of her husband like that.

"Yes, I'll eat, baby."

"Yes, when ?."

"Wait for the order to come. I'm ordering food but it hasn't come."

Alsya squinted her eyes at her husband's face. "Totally ?." Ask still can't believe it.

"Rather dear..." Anand tried to convince.

Alsya nodded in confidence.

The cold is not too piercing if in the room, but still it still feels cold even though only a glance.

"Darling, you want to know something no ?." Anand suddenly said.

Alsya raised her head. "What ?." Ask curiously.

"You know?, today there's an important event at my family's main house in Jakarta."

"What way?."

"Nareena's proposal."

"God's Masya... Really ?!." Pekik Alsya was very surprised by the news he heard. "Nareen finally found her soul mate too." Alsya muttered but could still be heard by her husband.

Anand tightened his embrace. "You know who the man who's gonna marry Nareen is ?." Anand's whisper made Alsya a little surprised.

"Who is it. ?." Ask.

"Fazal and Keyya, baby."

Deg

Alsya froze in place. She did not expect that her husband's cousin would marry her ex-husband. Is there no one else besides the man who once hurt her ?!.

"Why dear ?."

"I don't think so, but I don't know if Nareena knows who Aly is ."

Alsya nodded then was preoccupied with her own thoughts. It was like not being willing if her husband's cousin had to marry a man like Aly. Men are full of lies that are not even mature enough to act. She was afraid that Nareena would feel the same way as she had felt back when she was with Aly.

"Don't be so bad, baby. We don't know if Aly has changed or not. " Anand seemed to understand what Alsya was thinking.

Alsya looked at her husband's face. The eyes of both of them were so deep. "I don't know if he's changed, but I'm so worried about Nareen, I'm afraid he'll feel the same way as I used to." Alsya uttered a crackle in her heart and mind.

Anand's hand framed his wife's face. He smiled shadyly looking at Ayu Alsya's face. "Everyone will experience change. Especially if you have ever experienced a crash. I'm sure, Aly definitely won't do the same as before. He's an adult and he must have understood." Her husband was always wise in everything.

Anand always understood and understood every situation. He also always showed his understanding towards Alsya.

Alsya hugged her husband's body again. "Yes, A. I hope he has changed." Her speech.

"Aamiin..."

"Aamiin..."

"You feel better, dear ?."

"Lumayan. Not as hot as that ."

"Alhamdulillah.."

"Oh yes, A. Where did Nareen and Aly meet ?." Tanya Alsya was curious about the love story of her husband's cousin.

"The relationship between boss and secretary."

"I mean ?."

"Darling, you know that Nareena is a secretary ?."

Alsya.

"Well, that. Nareena works for Aly's company and becomes Aly's secretary."

Alsya reflexes looking up. "The world is so narrow." Alsya was immediately greeted by her husband.

Aly kissed his wife's cheek. "Yes, very narrow for a soul mate's lane. Like our story which is also in the circle of the world is narrow."

The eyes of the two locked onto each other with a sweet smile that gave each other away.

"But remember, the first time we met, Hem ?."

"Still remember it very much. Aa' is a nice guy I met while on the train to Cirebon."

"Hahaha yes, it turns out you still remember it very much, dear."

The two laughed at the thought of the first encounter.

"You know, the first time I saw you, I fell in love at first sight. I admire you for your gentle demeanor."

"But I was carrying Fazal ?."

"Yes, and from there I felt a breakup. Hehe I thought if you had a husband."

Alsya smiled at him. "And it turns out I'm a widow ?."

"The tempting widow. Ahaha !!."

"Well 'hh !!."

Alsya lost his weakness due to pain. Her jokes with her husband made her even healthier and could even pinch her husband's stomach very heartless !.

"Darling... It hurts..." Anand complained as his hand rubbed his stomach that had been pinch Alsya.

Alsya just smiled winning. "See who said rich ?!." Her eyes stared at her husband's face.

"Yes, yes, baby. Excuse me. I'm kidding. But it's true, that time if I hadn't seen you carrying a baby I would have been chasing you."

"Baby sitter is also holding a baby ?!."

"Yes, but no baby sitter is called ummi by her foster children."

Alsya was silent because she confirmed her husband's words. He smiled then looked towards Anand's stomach right where he had pinched it. Alsya's hands stretched out and stroked the flushed white skin. "It hurts ?."

"Silver darling... Look, until the red word is,." Anand began to dramatize.

Alsya just rolled her eyes lazily. Her husband was always able to find opportunities in narrowness.

"You're healthy, aren't you, baby ?." Anand's whispers hugged Alsya's body again.

Alsya nodded.

"You want to ?."

Alsya understood the meaning of the question. He smiled and nodded.

Anand smiled happily to get the approval of his wife.

Sharing warmth in love in the household, they do. It increasingly binds two hearts, two souls, and two bodies.

It was warm in the cold winter of the Ottoman Empire.
