My Heart For You
11. One Roof
After getting out of the car, Kenan immediately showed every corner of his house to Karina. Karina's face was still pale and did not listen too much to what Kenan said.
“ini our room.”
“I want to rest now, can you get out first?” said Karina who looked so exhausted.
Karina became like this on the way home from the building where their wedding was held. The streets in the city today are so quiet that passing vehicles can go at a fairly high speed. No different from the cars used by Kenan and Karina.
When approaching the crossroads, the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes suddenly making Kenan and Karina hit the front seat. The sound of such a loud impact could be heard from outside their car. The three people in the car were silent. The incident happened so quickly before their eyes and Karina's face at that time looked pale. His body trembled like a frightened person and cold sweat drenched his back.
Kenan only thought that Karina was like this in shock after seeing the accident in front of his eyes directly. Plus they also almost become victims if the driver does not immediately step on the brake.
“ rest, you must be tired.” Say Kenan and then get out of the room.
She still has a job pending as she prepares for her wedding for almost a week. Kenan must immediately complete the important work before the new day welcomes. At about eleven p.m., Kenan closed the last document and stretched his body. Kenan went to the room and saw that Karina had fallen asleep.
He went into the bathroom to clean his body and came out wearing knee-length shorts without a top. Kenan throws the origin of the small towel that he uses to dry his hair and then immediately lies down on the same mattress with Karina.
The man tilted his body facing towards Karina who was sleeping facing towards him. He observed Karina's perfect facial features in his eyes. Slowly the drowsiness began to attack his body that was exhausted until finally he fell asleep on Karina's side.
The rays of the morning sun peeking out from behind the curtains made Karina sleep disturbed. He blinked his eyes and slightly frowned as the sunlight penetrated making a glare. After adjusting her neutrality to the light in the room, Karina finally regained her senses from her sleep. He smiled after sleeping well all night. Moreover, he had dreamed of sleeping hugging a man. The memory of the dream made Karina's face instantly blush red.
“AAAKH.” His cry when he realized the figure of the man in his dream was real.
“Why is he sleeping here? Did I enter the wrong room?”
“do not be noisy.” Kenan muttered making Karina instantly silent.
Kenan pulled Karina's arm making the girl fall into her arms.
“Wait! What are you doing?”
“why surprised? Last night you seemed to really enjoy hugging my body.” He said as he looked into Karina's eyes.
Karina's face became increasingly blushed and tried to break away. Kenan chuckled and then took off his embrace from Karina's body. Starting the morning with teasing girls like Karina makes Kenan's mood very good.
“seems like you are too comfortable until you wake up late.”
Kenan yawned widely and sat himself down.
“what time is it now?” murmured Karina while looking for her phone that she had somehow put where.
“your phone is still in the bag.”
Karina directed her gaze towards the sofa that was by the window, where she threw her bag last night. He got up and took his phone. Once turned on, the message notifications and calls from his uncle and aunt immediately filled the screen. Not a message of longing like a family but a message like a loan shark who collect debt.
Karina ignored all the messages and glanced at the corner of the screen to check the clock. He was surprised to see the clock showing at seven in the morning. His whole life, only this time he woke up at seven in the morning.
“why bother looking at the phone, there is a wall clock, on the nightstand there is also a clock weker.”
“What are you doing?” Karina was surprised when she turned to Kenan.
Kenan just blinked his eyes confused because since then all he did was sit still on the mattress.
“all night we sleep one bed and you don't wear clothes?” Karina asked suspiciously for fear that something had happened last night.
“stop your dirty thoughts, I can't carelessly touch women.”
Kenan got up from the bed after yawning for the second time. He walked into the kitchen leaving Karina still shocked by the early morning welcome with the status of a wife.
After coming out of the bathroom, Kenan saw Karina standing around her waist in front of the door.
“ada what?”
“if split room later found out.”
“who's knowledge? Not that the helper also comes once a week.”
“if you want to know, just look to the kitchen there.”
Karina squinted her eyes then walked out towards the kitchen just like what Kenan had said. He was surprised to see four servants at work. Two people were preparing food and two others were busy here and there cleaning the house.
“breakfast first, we talk later.” Kenan silenced a thousand questions that Karina was about to ask.
“good morning sir, mistress.”
“morning.”
A dining table that was enough to accommodate these six people suddenly made Karina feel depressed. Her marriage was a contract without any love, and now she had to be affectionate towards Kenan from the morning.
Kenan sat down on one of the chairs and pulled the chair next to him for Karina. They ate breakfast in silence. Karina kept trying to show her concern for her husband. He brought rice to side dishes for Kenan.
“why are there many helpers at home?” asked Karina as soon as they entered the room.
“mother arranged it, I just found out last night.”
“so that means we have to really live like a real husband and wife in this house?”
“but which real husband and wife do you mean which one?” Kenan stared fixedly at Karina's face and continued to advance his body closer to the girl.
Karina turned her face away and held the chest of Kenan's field so that the man did not continue to advance towards her.
“stop, in the written contract there should be no excess physical contact.”
“but it can be void if both parties agree.”
“I told you to stop!”
Kenan chuckled then rewinded his steps keeping his distance from Karina. After that, Kenan walked towards the closet and took out his suitcase and also Karina's.
“pick up your shirt for one week.”
“we're leaving for honeymoon this afternoon.”
“honeymoon? But it's not in the contract.”
“gift from my mom.” Kenan said while showing two plane tickets.
“it looks like the actual contract article is your mother yes.”
Karina grumbled softly then walked towards the closet and started packing her clothes. The protest was useless because Kenan could not argue with his mother. Karina could only sigh repeatedly as a form of annoyance because many things went out of agreement.
Karina's activities stopped when Kenan's hand slipped the carina hair behind the ear. Both of their eyes were glued to each other making Karina's breath choked.
“just think of this as a regular holiday.”
Deg Deg Deg
Karina could hear the sound of her own heartbeat suddenly beating very fast. He immediately released their eye contact by turning his face away. The red hue decorating his entire face made him unable to raise his head towards Kenan.
“what's wrong with me?” he muttered softly after Kenan came out of the room.
Karina felt the pounding of her heart and cupped her cheeks with both palms. Suddenly he felt the room temperature became much hotter than before even though the air conditioning temperature still remained the same.
