"... I'm home"
Said Marzuki who entered the house while hiding something behind him, but the size of the object was too big for him to completely hide behind him.
It can be seen from the few visible parts of the items that Marzuki was carrying a bouquet of flowers and a gift package.
"Ahh~ welcome, honey, I thought you forgot about our anniversary, I almost visited your company and dragged you home, ahaha~"
Linda said with a sweet smile but with a tone that sounded threatening.
Hearing this, Marzuki then looked at Taufik, but Taufik shook his head, indicating that he did not say anything to his mother. Seeing this, Marzuki breathed a sigh of relief.
Marzuki then showed a smile and immediately approached his wife while taking out a bouquet of flowers and a gift that he had prepared for Linda.
"... Hahaha~ how can I forget about our Aniversary, I was searching for a gift for you, here is a gift for my lovely wife who continued to be with me from zero until now"
Marzuki said while giving a bouquet of flowers and a gift that he had prepared for Linda.
"Whoah!"
Linda exclaimed in surprise, not knowing whether it was a real or fake reaction because Marzuki himself knew that he hadn't hidden the Gift he had prepared well because he was in a hurry. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Without another word, Linda immediately takes the two gifts from Marzuki's hands.
Marzuki could only grin awkwardly as he saw his wife who hesitated before immediately taking the two gifts from his hands.
"..."
After opening the gift that Marzuki gave and putting the bouquet of flowers aside.
Linda just remained silent while looking at the contents of the gift box.
"... Piercing?"
Linda said while looking at the two black piercings that Marzuki gave her.
"... How? Do you like it?"
Ask Marzuki with a slightly nervous feeling; he could only buy this piercing with the pocket money he had after buying the bouquet of flowers because all the finances were controlled by Linda.
Hearing Marzuki's question, Linda immediately looked at Marzuki with a cynical look, which made Marzuki tense, but immediately, it changed into a happy face.
"... I don't care about the value behind the item, what matters is the feeling behind it...
Said Linda, who immediately hugged Marzuki; this finally made Marzuki feel relieved, then hugged Linda back.
... Thank you, Honey" Linda said.
Hearing Linda's words of thanks, Marzuki didn't say anything and just enjoyed Linda's hug. Marzuki immediately looked at Taufik and gave him a thumbs up.
Taufik just nodded and gave his father a thumbs up.
That dinner was the most memorable dinner for the little Hidayat family, with simple food that Linda had prepared.
But none of the three of them knew that the dinner would be the last dinner they would have with their complete family.
------------
After dinner, the three of them spent time together until it was time for bed.
In Linda and Marzuki's bedroom, they both lay down looking at each other with their hands clasped together.
Marzuki then told Linda about the mission he received from the Major General.
"... So will you go the day after tomorrow? Will you come home tomorrow?"
"I am afraid I can't, I have to prepare my troops who will accompany me to do the mission, I also have to prepare the equipment that I will bring to the mission, not to mention, I have to prepare the physical condition of each of us to be in a fit condition, because we will go to Antarctica, where the weather is very different from Indonesia... so that's it, so we can't do it today, okay?"
"..."
Hearing what her husband said, Linda was silent, then she showed a sullen face.
"... Who would want to do that? Hmmph~"
Hearing that, Marzuki could only smile wryly, then move his body to get closer to Linda until they could feel each other's breath.
"You know what I'm doing this for, right? It's for our little family to have a better life...
I have often diverted some of the missions given to me to some of my colleagues, so that my rank remains captain, so that I still have time for the two of you, However, Taufik is growing every day, he has just entered elementary school, our current economy is enough for all of that, but I want to give him more, I want him to never feel lacking...
Said Marzuki who then stopped for a moment to look at Linda, checking if there was anything she wanted to say. However, it seemed like Linda still wanted Marzuki to say more, with the silence she showed, So Marzuki continued to say.
... I want you to live more prosperously than this so that you will not feel inferior seeing our other neighbors who have better lives... you did say not to bring this up again, however, I want you to enjoy the luxury that you once felt, even though it cannot match, at least it can be a little close, so don't pout like that, My Princess, because your beauty will be reduced later"
Said Marzuki, who then pinched Linda's cheek, which made Marzuki giggle.
"... I don't like it when you say something like that and expression like that, because I can't say anything to refute that"
Linda said, still with her sullen face.
"Ahaha~ I do that because I know you will end up like that"
Marzuki said, which made Linda show an angry face. Then, pulled Marzuki's ear.
"... And I really hate that side of yours"
Marzuki groaned in pain, he didn't feel much pain, but he pretended to look hurt so that Linda wouldn't pull his ear harder.
"... But I love you"
Said Marzuki, which made Linda stop to pull Marzuki's ear, and then enter Marzuki's embrace, and Linda asked. Read now on m_vl_em_p_yr
"... Are you sure it's going to be safe?"
Hearing Linda's question, Marzuki thought again about the strange feeling he had felt earlier. However, he threw away the thought, because he didn't know the reason behind the strange feeling.
He hugged Linda tightly, which made Linda go deeper into his embrace until Taufik could feel Linda's breath directly on his skin, then said in a soft voice.
"Everything is going to be okay, this is just a simple mission to escort a group of researchers, so nothing serious will happen...
even if something happens, trust me, I will overcome any obstacles, even if I have to swim across the vast ocean, I will still do it if it is to return to you two, you two are everything to me, I am willing to sacrifice anything if it is just to be able to see you two, so rest assured, I will definitely return home safely"
Hearing that, Linda did not answer anything and just remained in her husband's embrace, as if she wanted to feel more of the warmth she got from her husband's embrace.
Seeing his wife like that, Marzuki also didn't say anything else and chose to close his eyes, deciding to end today and sleep.
But before he could fall asleep, Marzuki opened his eyes again and kissed his wife's head; for some reason, he wanted to do that.
Only after that, did they both finally fall into a deep sleep.
----------------
The next day, Marzuki woke up very early to do his usual morning routine, namely morning run.
After finishing his morning run, Marzuki immediately returned to his house and found Linda preparing breakfast.
"Is my son not awake yet?"
Marzuki asked Linda, and without looking at Marzuki, Linda answered.
"Not yet, go wake him up, because breakfast will be ready soon"
"... I will do that"
Marzuki said and then headed to Taufik's room.
Entering Taufik's room, Marzuki saw his son still sleeping in a position that was difficult to explain.
Seeing this, Marzuki just shook his head.
"Fik"
Said Marzuki who was still standing at the entrance to Taufik's room. But there was no response from Taufik, so Marzuki called him back, but once again, Taufik did not show any response.
It was only then that Marzuki immediately approached Taufik's bed, and without saying anything else, he immediately lifted Taufik onto his shoulders and took him straight to the kitchen. Even with that, Taufik still didn't wake up.
Arriving at the kitchen, Marzuki sighed softly.
"... I don't know who our child is following that it's so hard to wake him up"
Said Marzuki, who then sat Taufik down on a chair; even with that, Taufik was still asleep with his cheek on the table; seeing this, Marzuki could only shake his head and then also sat down on his chair.
With Marzuki sitting there, Linda had finished preparing breakfast and then served it on the table, especially for Taufik, Linda put the plate close to Taufik's nose.
First, Linda put the rice on her husband's plate, and then on Taufik's plate.
"... Thank you"
Marzuki said, then started to take the dishes that Linda had prepared. For Linda herself, she put the dishes on Taufik's plate, and only after the aroma of the side dishes entered Taufik's nose directly did Taufik wake up and then rub his eyes.
As if he was used to this, Taufik, without saying anything, immediately washed his hands and continued eating. Seeing this scene, Linda and Marzuki looked at each other and then smiled slightly at their son's behavior.
After breakfast, Marzuki lifted Taufik again and headed to the bathroom to clean themselves, after that, Taufik and Marzuki each put on their uniforms.
After putting on his uniform, Marzuki took Taufik to his school and then went to his company to prepare everything needed to carry out the mission.
