Message from Jihan (2)

...48. Message from Jihan (2)...

“Who? important?”

“B-not nobody, Mom. People order flowers.”

Kha. Jihan didn't say much but was so straightforward in her ear. Kata, Blue does not need to know about this as if hypnotizing himself to follow Jihan's orders.

His mind was more busy stringing Jihan's speech with the case of Dusk, so he did not notice if Blue was staring questioningly.

“Are you okay, Darling?”

Kha half-heartedly accepted Blue's question, should Blue ask at a time like this, why he was not indifferent as before they were married. He really needs the old Blue attitude.

“Sayang...”.

“I'm not papa, Mas. Confused again. I'm confused, a lot of incoming orders for today because,” kilah Kha.

In a hurry he summarized Blue fingers to be smothered and frowned upon, then got off the car while waving his hand. Kha wanted to immediately perhaps end her heartbreak in front of Blue.

“Teh, yesterday someone came, Mothers ask for your phone number,” Asti said when Kha entered the store. Of all the shop employees, only Dipa knows who Jihan is.

Dipa approached him, speaking half a whisper in front of Kha's face. “Bu Jihan, ask for your number, like urgent. What is ngabarin?”

“Udah, Dip,” Kha nodded as he continued his steps towards the top floor. He needs to check his phone again, because in addition to the call, he sees a notification of incoming messages from the same number.

True, it turns out that Jihan also sent him a lot of messages, and from many of these messages her tone was as percis as what was said on the phone earlier.

Suddenly his heart slipped, Should he tell Blue? If this is dangerous for Blue, shouldn't Blue know that her husband can be careful wherever he is?

“Astaghfirullahaladzim.”

Kha turned the key, she removed the veil and took the ablution water. Because the most comfortable place to calm the heart is just a prayer. This time Kha long enough to raise her hand, pray and plead for the safety of her husband. However, he himself did not know what was the cause of the danger that Jehan meant.

******

Kha completed her 11th flower bouquet today, a bouquet of Angelica flowers specially ordered by customers to propose to the lover became her last order.

Actually, it is not a matter of flower orders he linger in the store. Kha could have done the task faster and immediately returned to her in-laws' house.But, Jihan's remarks about Blue having to keep her distance from her family became the reason for Kha to keep buying time.

“Honey, many orders?” Blue came down from the second floor, her face radiant, moist by the sidelines of the ablution water, the shady face that Kha always liked from her husband.

“Last order,” replied Kha lifting a bouquet of Angelica flowers in her hand. “I love Boim for usherin first yes.”

Kha gives Boim a final flower order to deliver to the owner, and Boim goes home because it is unidirectional. With that last order delivered, Kha's work is done tonight.

He was stunned for a while in front, leaning against the folding gate until Boim's back vanished from radar view. Then....

Sreeek... Sreeekkk.

“Loh, Kha, how closed? we're not going home?”

He bit his lower lip, his gaze bowed not daring to look at Blue. Kha does not yet have the proper language to speak to her husband, but the message from Jihan should definitely not be ruled out.

His head was still bowed when the two Blue legs were in front of his feet. With a very gentle gesture, Blue raised her face until they exchanged a glance.

“Sayang...”.

Kha put his hands down Blue's arms, he deliberately delivered happiness from his eye bead. As gently as possible he pulls the body until his head rests on Blue's shoulder. “I miss,” said Kha half whispered.

Blue gave a smile and welcomed a helping hand when Kha looked up to see him. “So anyone misses after my cuekin day?” Kha nodded her head, shaking off embarrassment for safety.

“Malem is going to sleep here?”

“Bby?”

Blue kissed Kha's head at a glance, then carried his wife's body into a sling. Kha let out a stifled scream, almost with her feet nudging the vase at the end of the shelf.

“Mas!”

“Sorry.”

Kha closed his eyes, still in Blue's embrace who was both in the middle of breathing after pouring out all the scrolls of longing that was held back. Usually Kha is very sensitive to touch, but the rotation of the Blue fingers on the belly of the queen can not divert a little mind. Tonight he can avoid not going home to Dusk, then tomorrow? for what other reason he could keep Blue from being next to him.

“You are kayaking a lot of thoughts,” Blue fingers continue to crawl up to touch his jaw. Tuck the child's hair scattered around the cheekbones.

His eyes reluctantly opened, he smiled and then gently kissed Blue's palm. “I'm okay, Mas.

Blue no longer said, only soft touches that lead Kha to dreamland. Right, he should go to bed immediately, at least minimizing the time to talk with Blue. Because if he continues to open his eyes, it is not impossible that messages from Jihan will reach Blue ears.

Blue's sigh became the last introduction before finally he really fell asleep, then the greeting “Goodnight.” became the last word he heard.

...🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼...

Blue hugged Kha from behind, too tired last night until they both fell asleep after cleaning themselves up. His body was only wrapped in a sheet of blankets made Blue not strong to withstand the cold exposed to AC.

His eyes blinked a few times, staring at the glowing cellphone light above the nightstand. He reached for his cell phone, saw Barid's name on the screen, then glanced at the wall clock.

It's only 3 in the morning, Barid nelfon?

Seeing Kha being deprived of her sleep as the phone kept ringing, Blue exited the room to receive a call from Barid.

Not long after, he went back into the room. Not to go back to sleep, but to get a jacket and motorcycle keys. Actually Blue wanted to wake Kha and say goodbye directly, but urung once saw his wife was asleep very soundly. He just landed a kiss on his forehead and left Kha alone.

He deliberately pushed the motor a little far from the shophouse, afraid that the noise of the motor exhaust woke Kha. He also took the time to type a message for his wife.

Very tight eyes, maapkeun if many typo 🥺
