Maya Adisti
First Night

Because Akash threw away my cigarettes eventually all the way by daydreaming. I stared blankly at the highway for a long time until I finally started to get sleepy. Just as I positioned myself to sleep, Akash rebuked me as we were almost there.

With very heavy eyes I was forced to follow Akash into the hotel lobby with a backpack on my back. Some employees greeted us, the article was indeed the apartment where Akash lived in conjunction with the hotel. I'm a little weird with the way the staff say hello, why are they bowing a little.

A man in a black uniform approached me.

"Darling, give her your bag" Akash said.

I think the staff followed us into the elevator. Wait, didn't my ears hear me wrong?

Right in front of Akash's apartment unit the staff handed me my bag back. Akash unlocks, he comes in first followed by me. It turns out that Akash lives better at night. White granite floor. Wall paint and furniture combinations of beige, gray and black add a warm impression when the lights are on.

This apartment has a very large central space. After the shoe rack near the entrance there is an elongated kitchen complete with furniture and pantry. The kitchen was blocked by a long partition so that from the entrance I felt there was a small hallway.

Right in front of the pantry is a circular glass table with four chairs. The table can be used as a dining table or guest table because of the luxurious chair design.

Not far from the table, in front of the entrance hall that I passed there was a long white sofa and a small table. Two paintings are on the back wall of the sofa.

The entire room was surrounded by large windows overlooking the garden and the apartment swimming pool. As I approached, it turned out that one of the glass doors was headed for the balcony. There's nothing there, just a little clothesline. Wait, what is an interior?

"Cabin." Akash called me into a hallway beside the sofa, there were three doors there. Two doors facing and one door at the end of the hallway. Akash opened one of the doors and invited me in.

"This is my closet, there's still an empty place to keep your stuff there, this one's my stuff." Akash pointed at the closet.

I opened the closet and put all my clothes in. I also keep my laptop and books in a small closet near the bed. Akash continued to watch over me without protest. He walked to the glass door in the corner of the room and opened it. I followed, it was a balcony complete with two chairs and a table.

"If you want to smoke, smoke here but don't forget to close the door, I don't like my house smelling like smoke" he said.

"Akash, do I need to do homework?" my many.

"No, there will be special staff who come to clean the apartment every two days. You also do not need to cook, if you are hungry order or go down to the hotel restaurant. Everyone knows you're my wife, you're free to do anything here except embarrass me." Akash suppressed the word shame in his tone.

I rolled my eyes and went back to the room walking out and opened the other room.

"This is my work space. As long as there's you, I'll sleep here." Akash turned on the lights.

It turned out that this room was smaller than the room earlier, there was nothing in this room just a bookcase, mattress and a set of computers on the table. There was a large window beside the bed, extending to the end of the room.

Akash turned around, I followed him. He opened the door at the end of the room which turned out to be a bathroom, there was a large bath tub, sink, shower and toilet seat.

"Before going to bed, make sure your clothes are clean Maya, I don't like the smell of cigarettes stuck in my bed."

"Are we not sleeping together?" many ensure.

"No, but it's still my house."

Akash went back to the main room, he opened the closet and threw a towel at me.

"Mandi, you were smoking."

"Yes." Yeah." I took my toiletries and rushed to the bathroom.

"If this is the way, I can't smoke at night" I lamented in my heart.

After the shower I came out just wearing a towel which turned out to be quite large. When I was about to enter the room I was surprised to see Akash who was watching tv wearing only trousers, a towel draped on his shoulder.

"Geez!" myrag. I rewinded my steps to hide behind the wall.

"Why?" tanyakanya.

I looked at the man now in the doorway, looking at me unblinkingly. I didn't answer, I suddenly became nervous. With courage I passed through. Just a few steps Akash pulled my hand back so we faced each other so close.

"Oh my God, he's so handsome" I murmured in my heart.

"It's our first night Maya" he said in a serious tone. I know it's just nonsense, but somehow it makes my heart beat. Damn, how dare he play games with me. I pushed him out slowly too.

"Our first night is done later after you shower Akash." I smiled shyly and closed the door.

"You don't think I can act" I muttered in my heart. I quickly locked the door and put on my clothes. I don't know what Akash is doing out there.

The next day I woke up with a dead TV and the door of the room open. I see the empty bed next to me still as neat as last night. I slept without locking the door. Akash scolded me, he had trouble picking things up.

"Akash! You're in there?" I banged on the locked bathroom door.

"Akash!" call me.

"Why are you screaming? Just disturb." I turned to hear Akash's voice standing behind me.

"I thought you were inside, the door was hard to open" I said, smiling broadly. 

"Basic stupid! This is how it's not." Akash opened the bathroom door.

Just as I was about to enter, Akash suddenly entered first and locked it.

"Akash! I'm late!" yells annoyed.

"Where are you going?" tanya Akash who is neat using a shirt and trousers.

"Work," I replied, rolling my shirt arm a little and tying my hair. Akash looked at me from head to toe.

Being watched that way I became misbehaved. I used jeans, a white tangtop and a long-sleeved shirt that I had all the buttons open. What's wrong?

"You're not gonna work Maya."

"Why? My bike is also there Akash I have to pick it up."

"none. I've got people selling it." Akash came closer and took off my hair.

"You're my wife Maya, then act like my wife" she continued.

I walked in the other direction, avoiding the look in his eyes. I tried to be normal even though my heart melted. How can you test me like this God? Just one night my kidneys were about to jump.

"If I don't work, where do I get the money. My tuition hasn't paid off yet" I complained.

"Take this." Akash handed me an ATM card.

"Use as you please, I'll add to it if it's up."

"How much saltonya?"

"750 million. You have to resign from the distro" Akash replied along with a doorbell that rang.

Two apartment staff members came in and served food at the table. They also greeted me.

Again Akash surprised me, the nominal that he mentioned earlier seemed never to get even though I worked in the distro A Agung.

"Do you want to stand there or have breakfast?" akash asked, he was already sitting at the dining table first. Because I was hungry, I finally sat down in front of him. Ah, I miss mom's cooking.

We ate without talking, occasionally I looked at him. Who is this man who is my husband?

"Akash."

"Yes"

“You don't work?” tanyaku carefully.

The man took a heavy breath. "A few weeks before the wedding I've applied for a week's leave, for the honeymoon."

I could see a deep sadness in his eyes.

"Sorry," I said.

"What's wrong, we're going to your place of work" he replied.

"You said I can't work."

"Not to work Maya but resign, you need to leave, right?"

Akash's right.
