"See, Ci, as long as the man understands his wife's condition, it's okay. Why are you the one with a crush."
Alcie laughed in satisfaction after asking her best friend about it.
"Okay, yes, the name is Ren's friend, I want to help, after all, both of you like it, but Lea is the one who is still unstable sometimes."
"Lea, one message for you. It's rare for me to be like this."
Leandra raised her eyebrows.
"Remove your sense of prestige slowly, put that feeling aside. It's been a year since you've been testing his patience, you don't know what a man's thinking is, so my advice is to start being open before he looks for someone else."
Alcie clapped her hands cheerfully at Renza's suggestion.
"Well, that's true!" Alcie said emphasizing Renza's suggestion.
"Why do you say that, to be honest, I don't want it if, for example, Rigel is with another woman. but how come my heart sometimes still has doubts."
"Hesitating why?"
"Because I'm afraid he has a girlfriend or some other girl."
"Loh, you've asked Rigel that many times, you still have doubts too? Geez, Lea isn't that good, let alone try that Rigel."
"That's just my fear."
Leandra was pensive and thought about what her two best friends had said. Now they have to go back to class. All names have been determined to conduct a study for 2 weeks in which hospital. However, this is only the beginning of the research, they are only exploring the basics.
"All names and hospitals have been sent via online announcements on your cellphone, please check and prepare, because tomorrow is the first day."
All students were busy with their cell phones, some shouted with joy, and some didn't. Leandra looked at the announcement carefully, she already saw Alcie's name, then her name, and then Renza's name. At first, Leandra was very happy because the three of them were in the same place, but it turned out that the hospital was not what Leandra wanted.
"Lea, have you seen the hospital?"
Leandra nodded her head slowly.
"Don't be sad, it's okay we're there. I'm sure there won't be any suspicious tone."
Leandra took a deep breath. After all of today's lectures were over, they returned to their respective homes.
Along the way home, Leandra daydreamed a little. He does not think about his research but about his home life. It's been a year but the feeling for Rigel is still halfway through.
This afternoon he promised himself to put aside his sense of prestige. Leandra is afraid that she will lose a man who loves her like Adrian. He didn't want to be like that again, repeating the same pain.
Click!
The door of the house opened, Leandra immediately walked out of the room and approached someone who opened the door.
"Good afternoon," said Leandra sweetly as she looked up at her husband's face. Because they are very different in height.
Leandra immediately hugged Rigel without any warning. Rigel was surprised, what was wrong with his wife at that time.
"You don't want to hug me back?" Leandra protested.
Immediately Rigel hugged him tightly.
"What is it?"
"What's wrong?"
"Yes you are suddenly like this, it's weird."
"It's okay, I just want to."
"This is often the case," muttered Rigel who was staring deep into Leandra.
"Eh doesn't look like that, I'm embarrassed."
Rigel smiled. He let go of Leandra's hand that wrapped around his body.
Leandra looked at Rigel in surprise.
"Why?"
"I'm dirty."
Leandra widened her eyes, she thought that it was not. His rage would rumble in a moment.
"You must be angry, right?"
"You mean dirty?"
"I'm from the hospital, I haven't showered, haven't changed clothes, so many germs will hug you for a long time."
Leandra sighed and started smiling again.
"Oh guess what."
"What are you thinking?"
"No."
"You must think it's weird, right?"
"No, it's already there if you want to take a shower."
"I'll take a shower first, okay if you want to hug me later."
Leandra blushed as Rigel walked away whispering to Leandra. This was the first time Leandra was like that and saw Rigel's face as cheerful as this afternoon.
A few minutes later, Rigel had finished taking a shower. He saw Leandra standing by the window watching the rain outside, but there was still sun.
It's warm, there is indeed a warm feeling that wraps around Leandra's waist. Rigel hugged Leandra from behind. Currently, Leandra did not refuse in the slightest.
"You wear perfume?"
"This habit of yours asking."
"Use?"
"No. I do smell good."
"What the hell, no wonder your nurses like it."
"Do you want to be hugged?"
"Instead of you hugging someone else, better hug me."
Rigel tightened his arms, now his chin was on Leandra's shoulder.
"I wanted a moment like this, to see the rain and then to be hugged, it's soothing,"
Leandra muttered to herself.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Should I say?"
"Yes, I don't dare to hug you, next time you are like a possessed male lion."
Leandra laughed at Rigel's words, but Rigel's embrace had not yet left Leandra's waist.
"Soon your semester break, where are you going on vacation?"
"Can the doctor take a day off?"
"Yes, you can. Even if not for months. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks can."
"Oh, I see."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know."
"Isn't there a place you want to visit?"
"Yes, but I don't know when to get there."
"Where? Let's just go over there."
"Bajo, Gili Trawangan, beautiful right?"
"You're beautiful."
Leandra smiled but still held back a little.
"But it's not an interesting place, if you go alone, I prefer Bandung."
"Because there's an account right?" asked the very confident Rigel.
"Yes."
Rigel tightened his arms again, now Rigel turned Leandra's body so that they were facing each other.
"Why?"
"You're beautiful."
Leandra smiled, now her arms wrapped around Rigel's waist and hugged him.
"Thank you for being patient with me for this 1 year, sorry for bothering you."
Rigel accepted the hug.
"Yes, dear. I am also like that."
Leandra was surprised if she was called 'darling' by Rigel. he had never been called that before.
"Why do you call me that?"
