Chapter 28It had been a week after coming back from Indonesia. Today, Sofiah was not working since she had been on call last night until this morning.After cooking for dinner, she walked inside the office room to clean up. But then, she found a box owned by Matin. She was curious and opened it.Surprisingly, there were a lot of sticky notes inside the box. The most shocking part was those sticky notes were her handwriting.She was in complete shock and suddenly, she recalled back the old memories.FlashbackBack in Ireland“Sofiah, someone gave this porridge to you.” One of her friends, Bella gave porridge to her.“Who?” Sofiah asked.Bella shrugged her shoulders and replied, “He said he's your friend and there is a note inside. I have a class now. See you.”“Alright. See you.”She took a look at the note from the mystery person.Note: ‘Hi. I know you're not feeling w
Chapter 29Sofiah performed CPR again.“Please!!!! Please!!!! Please!!!!”“Lieutenant,” a soldier called her.“He can't leave me! He can't!” she said while crying.She performed CPR over and over.But still no response.He wasn't breathing and his heart stopped beating.Sofiah was exhausted after performing CPR.Another soldier approached her and said,“Lieutenant, he has been drowning for quite some time. I’m so sorry to say this, but I think you should stop.”She couldn't believe that he left her. She was crying hard while hugging him.“You promised me that you won't leave me. You can't leave me like this. You can’t.”Everyone was keeping their mouth shut.“I love you, Matin. Please wake up. I need you to hear this. I love you so much. Don't leave me.”“Lieutenant,” a soldier held her shoulder, trying to calm her.She performed mouth
Chapter 30“Real wife?” Matin asked, looking at Sofiah in confusion.She was biting her lower lip in nervousness and said, “I know I'm not a good cook, I’m always busy with work, I'm not good with kids. But I'm willing to learn just for you.”He chuckled after hearing those words from her. “You know, I want a wife, not a maid. And for me, you're perfect,” he replied, placing back the paper on the table.She shyly asked, “So, what do you say? Do I get the job?”“You're my wife, now and forever. So, what do you want actually? What is the purpose of this resume?” he asked, still confusing.“Yeah, I'm your wife on paper. But I'm ready to be more than that. You know, umm something like married couples does,” she said, biting her lower lip.He chuckled while shutting his laptop down. Then, he stood up from his seat and walked closer to her. He gently lifted her chin so she met his eyes.“Say it again, w
Chapter 31Sofiah sat on top of the kitchen counter while watching Matin run through the kitchen. She wanted to help but he didn't allow it. Now, she was laughing at him. “You know, laughing at me doesn't make things easier,” he complained.“You don't want my help. So, I'm just watching you,” she replied, chuckling.“I'm doing my best now.”“Yeah, you're doing great as long as you're not going to burn my house,” she said with a laugh.He gave her a death glare before continuing with his cooking.After a few hours of cooking, finally, a chicken pie was done.“How is it?” He couldn't wait for her response.“It's good! Are you sure this is your first time?” she complimented him.“Yeah, I just looked at the recipe this morning,” he replied and ate his delicious chicken pie.“I’m so lucky to have you as my husband,” she said romantically, looking at him in the eyes.“Well, yo
Chapter 32“Are you sure you want to try this with me? If not, I can go alone,” Matin asked Sofiah since he didn't want to force her to ride Nevis Swing.“This is a one-time opportunity and I would like to try it. I'm scared but I think I can handle this,” she replied, looking confident.“Alright. But don't scream like a madwoman. I don't want to be deaf along the swing ride.” He reminded her.She smacked his shoulder and said, “I'm not a madwoman and I won't scream like that.”He smirked at her and said, “We will wait and see. If you scream like a madwoman, I will close your mouth with my hand.”“And I will bite your hand!” She stuck her tongue out.They rode the Nevis Swing and Matin enjoyed the ride so much. Meanwhile, Sofiah lost her voice and couldn't scream because it's nerve-wracking.“Wow! I love it!!” He screamed in joy along the ride back.He took a glance at his wife and he could see she's sligh
Chapter 33It had been a month since they came back from their road trip. Nowadays, Matin was busy with his military training.Today, a new Captain was reported to the Air Force. She was Captain Mira, the daughter of Commander of Land Force. Sofiah widened her eyes in shock when seeing Captain Mira in front of her. She was her long-time rival back at school. Captain Mira was also an ex-girlfriend of Mazid during high school and that's the main reason for their rivalry. Captain Mira didn't like the closeness between Sofiah and Mazid. Back in school, Sofiah reported to the headmaster that Captain Mira always left school in the middle of the class and skipped classes until she was dropped out of school. Until now, Captain Mira still held a grudge against Sofiah.Captain Mira came to the hospital for a medical check-up. Sofiah was just being professional as she always has been.“Welcome to BAF, Captain. I'm Lieutenant Sofiah.” She stu
Chapter 34Lately, Matin always came home late at night. When she called him, he didn’t pick up her call. Matin just came back home late at night again and Sofiah was waiting for him in the living room.“Where have you been? I called you but you didn't pick it up,” she asked with a stern face.He was still in his military uniform and looking a little bit tired.“I’ve just finished my training. Fiya, can you please give me some freedom? Nowadays, I feel like I'm being controlled,” he replied, looking annoyed.She couldn’t believe his reaction and said, “Controlled? When a wife texts or calls her husband, it isn’t being called control, it’s called caring!”He let out a big sigh and replied, “Fiya, listen to me.”But she cut him and said, “No! You listen to me. I’m not calling or texting you all the time. I just wanted to ask for an update from you! Is that hard to answer me?!”He closed his eyes for
Chapter 35“Thanks a lot, Aziz,” Sofiah thanked him, getting out of the car.“No problem. Fiya, please settle this problem in a good way, okay. Don't fight with each other,” Aziz advised her, gently.She only nodded a little.As she walked inside the penthouse, she grabbed a few of her belongings into the bag. She left a note for Matin and walked out of the penthouse.Iskandar couldn’t believe his eyes when seeing his sister in front of his house.“What brings you here?” he asked, furrowing his brows.“Is that how you greet your lovely little sister?” Sofiah said coldly, walking inside the house without waiting for his invitation.“I'm surprised at your sudden show-up. But what with the bag? Where is Matin?” he asked, dumbfounded.“I don't want to talk about him. By the way, I want to live here for a few days,” she stated, crossing her arms.“What?!!” “And I don't take no as an a
