A SPECK OF LIGHT (Handle of Good-Loving Love)
37. First Night

But his smile rose as Adzilla shook her head. "I made my hair like this because I watched Korean dramas and my money was loved by my father."

The soldier did not answer choosing to tidy Adzilla's hair tucked behind the woman's lower earlobe."Never open your hijab in front of others. I'm jealous, baby. You're so perfect."

Soldier raised Adzilla's chin. The look they meet. He braved the thorns to kiss the forehead, both eyes, and down to the nose to the lips with the eyes closed.

When the two lips meet, their eyes are wide open. The light start of the kiss turned into a soft luma tan.

Till..

"Aww.g.."

"Sorry, As."

The soft touch of Soldier's lips made Adzilla washed away until unconsciously his hand squeezed the hand of the sick soldier.

But there is something strange according to the Soldier, why did Adzilla bow quietly like a resident who was making a big mistake and waiting for punishment from the king?

"Darling, why are you keeping quiet?" ask Soldier about to touch Adzilla's cheek but his wife dodged even the woman's hands to protect her head as if to be hit.

"Darling, I won't hit you" he said softly. He wondered if the grimacing sound was too loud that Adzilla thought he would be angry.

Or is the trauma to the woman still the same because it took so long to hold the inner wound alone?

"I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally. Please don't be mad at me."

Adzilla's words were so heart-slicing. Hugged the body of her much loved woman. "What's wrong, don't be afraid."

"I really didn't mean it, As." Adzilla looked up at Soldier with teary eyes.

Truly the heart of Soldier grew sick to see the shady eyes of his wife was about to let out those tears. A kiss landed on Adzilla's eyes as the tears flowed.

"Don't think about it, now we're resting."

"Aren't you angry?"

"Anged for which? I told you not to think about it."

"That's.."

"That's what, baby?" Soldiers raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer from Adzilla.

"Our first night." muttered Adzilla still heard by Soldiers.

If only Adzilla knew, really tonight is the night awaited after being with Adzilla.

"So, you've been dying to feel my warmth, baby?" god Soldier immediately made Adzilla wrong.

"Eh, that's not what I mean." said Adzilla.

Of course he knows if tonight is what every couple who just waited for halal. However, asked like that, I don't know why Adzilla became embarrassed.

"If I want to, I'm okay, I'll do it" said Soldier made Adzilla spontaneously pinch the stomach of Soldier.

"Askar, stop teasing me." Adzilla's whining makes Soldiers laugh.

"Stay with me, who." said the soldier sincerely after stopping laughing.

Their gazes met with the hands of Soldiers clasping Adzilla's hands. The gaze seemed to imply a sense of longing and love together.

The kiss is back on Adzilla's forehead. "Thank you for accepting me."

Adzilla's index finger stuck to Soldier's lips after saying that. Soldier shakes. "Not your children, which. They're our kids and there'll be our kids next."

Adzilla just smiled and nodded. Then the two lay down their bodies next to each other. Adzilla felt stiff sleeping next to Soldier so close.

Not only because of the first time but when she was Bari's wife first. They never slept together other than during conjugal relations.

"Don't go far, which. Here near me. Sleep on my arm." said Soldier.

"You'll be uncomfortable and hot if I sleep close to you."

Soldiers clucked directly close his body to Adzilla's. "Here goes up his head to my arms and hugs me." Soldier told Adzilla to obey.

"Listen to my wife, cuddling during sleep can boost the immune system. From what I read on Google. Psychologist Joe Rock, PsyD said hugging could be therapeutic. According to Rock, giving and receiving hugs are also beneficial to strengthen the immune system. According to him, hugs cause a decrease in the release of cortisol (stress hormone). Then, some studies indicate that hugging can lower blood pressure and heart rate when experiencing stress" said Soldier at length.

"So, if you get stuck, then come to me and hug me" he continued.

"That's what you want, As." clears Adzilla but makes Soldiers laugh.

"Not only that, baby. hugging can also help maintain mood, sleep more soundly, continue to add love hormones, increase self-confidence, glue our emotions, anyway many more benefits of cuddling, and more, dear."

Soldiers bowed and Adzilla looked up until their eyes met.

"I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge, As."

Soldier smiling. "not minimal. Maybe in the past you've never felt that way, neither have I. So starting tonight, we're both getting used to cuddling in our sleep."

"I've never been that racist" said Adzilla, looking down to hide his face under the armpits of the Army.

Soldiers kissed Adzilla's head. "Quiet yeah. It's all over. And I'm asking you, from now on don't keep your own uneg-uneg. Share it with me."

Adzilla just nodded.

Soldiers knew that Adzilla was still traumatized so he promised himself to make Adzilla the true Queen of his home.

"Dear, one more. Don't smile in front of my friends. Especially to laugh." He remembered when his friend was still in his house. He did not want to see his wife smile and laugh in front of his male friend.

"Loh, why? be reluctant. Later on thought the soldier's wife arrogant." Adzilla Protest.

"I'm jealous, which. You are more beautiful when you smile and laugh. I don't want to be Dayyuts' husband."

Adzilla looked up again. "Dayyuts what is it?"

"Dayyuts is a typical husband who does not have jealousy with his wife. And one of the kinds of men who will not smell heaven or see God on the Day of Resurrection. The other two kinds are the disobedient son of his parents and the woman who resembles a man."

Adzilla's hand tightened his arms feeling proud to marry Soldier. Because when she was Bari's wife. He very rarely prayed, hoping Bari would lead him to the right path. Remembering first Bari only pray 2 times a year. When Hati Raya Eid and Eid al-Adha only.

But she did not want to boast to anyone just hoping that her ex-husband got guidance.

"Teach me Islamic science, my husband. How low my faith is."

Soldier nodded and returned to the kiss at the head of Adzilla. "We learn together. I'm still minimal about Islam."

Many of them told me that Adzilla seemed to yawn repeatedly making Soldiers stop the story.
