20 Years Adrift
Chapters 14. Fevers

Affan's car was traveling at a moderate speed. That night the weather was quite sunny, unlike usual which was always raining heavily. Bimo remembered the message his wife wanted to buy toast.

The streets that night were not so crowded because the hours of work had passed. Bimo drove leisurely while glancing at the street vendors who used to sell.

Shuuiiiittt ...!

A car overtook him and stopped right in front of him making him have to step on the brakes firmly. Dada rumbled as his car almost crashed into the car in front of him.

The owner of the car immediately got out and walked over to Affan's car which was carried by Bimo.

The shock caused by a car that suddenly appeared has not disappeared now must be added to the arrival of people who are very familiar. Bimo held onto his chest which was still pounding.

"Mas Affan! Out!" shouted the woman standing next to Affan's car.

Bimo tries to control himself. His hands flailed through the mineral water in Affan's car dashboard. One bottle of mineral water measuring three hundred milliseconds runs out in a few gulps.

The glass of his car continued to be pounded from the outside and forced Bimo to get out immediately.

"Good night, Miss Amanda!" greet Bimo after they face each other.

Amanda looks excited when she sees who the driver of the car is. He did not expect that Bimo was driving Affan's car.

Amanda's right hand held her head with a staggered body.

"Mom Amanda! Are you okay?" bimo asked worriedly while helping Amanda stand up properly.

"I'm fine, Bim. Where is Mas Affan?" ask Amanda to look sad.

"Sir Affan came home some time ago with the office driver. He is also not feeling well" explained Bimo.

Amanda nodded.

'My plan to trap Affan failed again. I really was unlucky today.' Amanda clenched her teeth.

"Do you need to me drop off? Your face looks very pale, Miss Amanda." Bimo watched Amanda's face with concern.

"No .. not necessary. I'm leaving first" said Amanda, walking quickly to leave Bimo still dumbfounded.

'Strange woman! Does he think I'm Mr. Affan? His attitude was so easily changed like his life was filled with drama.' Bimo shook his head and got into the car.

Amanda drives her car at a high speed. The shadow of Affan's face made him recall that the man he loved so much was married.

At Affan's house, by,

Aira was still busy with the books she brought to the living room when Affan came. Behind Affan BI Sumi and Neti brought her things.

"Assalamualaikum, Aira," said Affan.

Aira immediately turned her body and reached out to kiss Affan's hand.

"Wa'alaikum greetings, Om." Aira did not immediately let go of Affan's hand from feeling something.

"You're hot, Om. Has Om Affan eaten yet?" aira asked as she looked at Affan's pale-looking face.

"It has. I just want to take a break" Affan replied as if he was fine.

Aira did not want to let Affan go to their own room. With a quick movement, he picked up his books on the table then walked beside Affan. He was eager to remove it but did not dare to do so.

"Thank you. I'd like to take a nap. Don't worry, I'm just tired." Affan tried to calm Aira down.

Aira nodded. He then helps Affan to lie down and envelop his body.

'Her body is so hot. If he's been taking medicine why is it still this hot.' Aira looked very anxious.

He could not stay still and looked for a small towel to compress Affan's head. In the bathroom they are available water heater so he does not need to go to the kitchen to take hot water.

After the towel got cold, Aira wet it with hot water then squeezed it half dry. Affan is fast asleep and does not realize that Aira is compressing him.

Aira could no longer study because she was already very sleepy. He then catches up with Affan and sleeps next to him. They are equally unaware when sleeping in a position to hug each other.

Midnight Affan woke up. His throat feels very dry. When he was about to wake up he felt something befall his chest. A smile on his lips.

'Since when did Aira hug me. If he woke up in this state, he would definitely feel extremely embarrassed.'

Affan feels to be the luckiest husband to have Aira. Besides being beautiful, she also has good character.

Affan's hand reached for a bottle of water that was always available on the nightstand. Because it was not until then Affan tried to release the hand of Aira who hugged him.

Whether intentional or not, Aira's hands and feet instead hugged her tighter. Affan was increasingly unable to move and finally chose to hold his thirst until morning.

As usual, at three o'clock in the morning Aira woke up to perform evening prayers.

He was shocked and almost yelled when he realized that he was hugging Affan. His body temperature is back to normal. The drug he took already showed its effect and reaction.

Before Affan woke up, he immediately moved away and went to sneak to get water.

'It's a good thing that Om Affan didn't realize that I was asleep while hugging him.' Aira left Affan's bed.

However, Aira looked confused when she finished taking ablution water. He did not find Affan's figure on his bed.
