How to model a bus behavior with enable signal in testbench

See the following pages extracted from my SVA book on the timing regions, and when things get executed; the image is self-explanatory.

If that is not clear, re-ask your question.
You may also want to consider a clocking block, below is an example.


parameter SIZE=8; 
interface test_if (input logic clk);
    logic ld; 
    logic[SIZE-1:0] d_in; 
    logic[SIZE-1:0] r_out, r_out2;
    wire logic[SIZE-1:0] data1, data2, data3; 
    clocking driver_cb @ (posedge clk);
        default input #2 output #3; // setup, hold
        output data1,r_out2; 
        input d_in;
        inout data2;
    endclocking : driver_cb
    modport drvr_if_mp (clocking driver_cb);
endinterface :test_if
