LOVE SLOWERS

"Can I answer sitting down? Not in a position like this?" Nadine said nervously, afraid that someone would see her again when she was with Ardham in an intimate position. Ardham's embrace loosened slowly.

"Tell me everything, why is your cell phone on Marvin? And what is the need for you to go with Marvin?" Asked Ardham like a police officer interrogating the suspect.

Nadine swallowed hard, her lover was a very possessive person.

"My cellphone had a problem earlier, it can receive but can't call or send messages. So I gave it to Marvin to fix it. And at that time I was taking a shower." Nadine glanced at Ardham who was still staring at her unblinking.

"And I didn't come here right away, I asked Marvin to help me. I got to buy your favorite chicken porridge, martabak and moonlight(terang bulan). Because I'm sure you don't like hospital food." Nadine's story continued to Ardham. Ardham's gaze softened and dimmed. Shame enveloped his face.

"I'm sorry, I was worried about you because you were back a long time ago. And you didn't call me either." Ardham said with a broken heart.

Nadine smiled with relief, Ardham had started to calm down.

"Is there anything else you want to ask dham?" Nadine asked, staring into Ardham's eyes.

"Is everything you said true? If you want to be my wife, and love me forever?"

"Everything I say is true." Nadine replied honestly.

"Does it include not being away from me? And always missing me?" asked Ardham again.

"Yes Ardham, all right." Nadine replied, trying to be patient with Ardham's spoiling attitude.

"Nad, if we were apart for a while what would you like?" Ardham asked carefully.

"What do you mean?" asked back Nadine did not understand.

"Nad, I want you to leave the country for a while. Assuming you are on vacation, Marvin will accompany you later." said Ardham.

"I don't want to, if it's for a vacation why do I have to go abroad, especially with Marvin." denied Nadine.

"You have to go Nad, if you don't want to be with Marvin then who?" Ardham asked trying to persuade Nadine.

Ardham knew that his heart would definitely hurt because of his jealousy for Marvin, but the safety of Nadine and Marvin was more important than his unreasonable jealousy. Especially considering his promise to Bella to look after and protect Marvin too.

"I have to endure this pain and jealousy for Nadine's sake." Ardham said. He looked once again at Nadine's face that looked annoyed.

"You went with Marvin, did you Nad? Because only Marvin can take care of you later?"

"You will take care of me Dham. Only with you I want to go." Nadine said definitely.

"I have business here that I can't leave. And this business is a little dangerous. I don't want you to get involved, so listen to me. You and Marvin go on vacation, it's only temporary." Ardham said with a serious face staring into Nadine's eyes.

Nadine met Ardham's gaze with irritated eyes.

"I've heard you talk, now it's my turn. So listen to me now, I'm not going on vacation or anywhere. I'm staying here with you!" Nadine said very firmly.

"Nadine I'm not kidding dear, this matter is very serious. I don't want you to get involved, I beg you. You go with Marvin, okay?" Ardham persuaded again.

"I'm not kidding either Ardham, I'll still be here with you. Even if I have to get involved." challenge Nadine.

"You are so stubborn Nad." complained Ardham.

"You too Dham, how stubborn." Nadine replied irritably.

"I'm doing all this for your good Nad." Ardham's voice softened, caressing Nadine's cheek.

"But I can't leave you Ardham, I can't be away from you anymore." Nadine's voice softened.

"I don't want you in danger dear, just listen to me this time." said Ardham kissing the top of Nadine's head.

"Don't tell me to go away from you Dham, I won't be able to. Let me stay beside you, together we face all the problems that exist?" Nadine squeaked in Ardham's arms.

Ardham felt something wet on his chest. Nadine cried even though she could not hear her sobs.

Ardham's heart ached, what should he do, so that Nadine and Marvin can stay away from this problem.

Ardham did not have the heart to tell Nadine everything. On the other hand, Ardham wants Nadine and Marvin to be out of reach of Robet. But on the other hand, Ardham was not willing and unable to have Nadine together with Marvin, let alone be away from him, far from his sight.

"Ardham, you heard me right?" Nadine squeaked with a sad face.

"We just got together, and we have to split up again as soon as this. I really don't understand the way you are thinking? Why did you tell me to go with Marvin? Why not Aunt Anna or Aunt Bella? Explain to me Ardham so I can understand." Nadine's voice was quiet, desperate to persuade Ardham from his desire so hard.

"Nadine, why did Marvin have to come with you? Because I fully trust Marvin. He will take good care of you, because he sincerely loves you. He is a man, surely he will be able to protect you if something happens to you. If you go to Anna or Bella I will not rest easy, you are both women. You will not be able to protect yourself. Trust me Nad, what am I doing ... for your good? " Ardham tried to give the right reason so Nadine could understand.

"Then what are you doing here? While I'm away from you? Are you not afraid of losing me that I could fall in love with Marvin?" Nadine asked, staring into Ardham's eyes.

"I'll solve the problem here. The problem here is very serious Nad, and why do you ask like that? Of course I'm afraid of losing you Nad I do all this because I'm afraid of losing you dear." Ardham replied, grabbing Nadine's body tightly.

"Aren't you jealous of Marvin Dham? I've never seen you look jealous all this time?" Nadine asked quietly.

"You do not know how jealous I feel Nad? Especially when i see both of you with Marvin, even though I know you two did nothing. In my heart there is always jealousy towards Marvin, I do not want you to be close to Marvin, Nad. There is pain in my heart. right here in my heart. " Ardham replied honestly expressing his jealousy.

Nadine was silent, could only stare into Ardham's foggy eyes, restless and looked sad.

"Is that true Dham?" Nadine confirmed what she had heard.

"If you don't believe ask Anna, or Bella. How they both teased me because they saw my jealousy for Marvin. And they know I love you so much and can't be away from you." Ardham explained again, making Nadine's heart melt even more.

"Dham, if you do all this for me. Can't I do it for you? I also don't want to be away from you Dham. I want us to stay together in joy and sorrow, can't i Dham?" begged Nadine with her eyes starting to tear up after crying in silence.

Ardham's heart trembled, really his little girl has grown into a mature woman. Nadine's words and Nadine's attitude to him always reflect his maturity.

Unlike him, who sometimes lost control when jealousy overcame him.

"How about this Dham, I also want to do something for your sake. I want to continue to be beside you" Nadine persuaded her again, so Ardham wouldn't send her away.

"Nadine, if you don't go it will be very dangerous for you here Nad? I don't want anything to happen to you. Why are you so stubborn dear?" complained Ardham hugging Nadine's body tightly.

"It's not me who is stubborn Dham, but you! Everyone has to obey you. You know I can't do it Dham? I can't leave you here alone. I can't." Nadine cried began to hear a sense of despair began to catch him.

"Nad, don't cry anymore. You know I can't see you crying, stop dear." Ardham persuaded softly. Nadine's tears were getting worse, making Ardham's heart sad and panicked.

"Okay honey, you're not going anywhere. You stay here with me. Now stop." said Ardham who finally gave in from his stubbornness. Nadine who was sobbing in Ardham's arms smiled sweetly, very sweetly.

"Forgive me Dham, if I knew beforehand that my cries could beat your head hard, I would have been doing it a long time ago. And again I'm doing this for your sake, for us to always be together." Nadine said to herself.

"Really Dham?" Nadine looked up at Ardham's dark eyes.

"But you have to promise, you won't be far from me. Don't go anywhere without someone accompanying you." Ardham ordered with a serious face.

"Yes Dham I promise, I'll always be accompanied by Marvin wherever I go." Nadine's words teased Ardham a little and wanted to know Ardham's reaction.

"Nadine ... you! What did you say just now? Do you want to wake my jealousy dear?" Ardham stared at him, his eyes fading and grabbed Nadine's body again.

"Eeeehh, you said marvin can take good care of me." Said Nadine, her eyes flickering, seeing Ardham's face starting to turn red.

"You ... are you doing this on purpose, honey? Okay, I have to punish you because it makes me jealous." Ardham's voice sighed in Nadine's ear.

"Ehhh ... what are you doing? Don't you do like yesterday anymore. I'm embarrassed if anyone sees." shouted Nadine, trying to escape Ardham's grasp.

"Sorry dear, I don't care. I'm not ashamed even though everyone knows, it's very good. They come to know that you are mine."
