“Keep light talk what? Yesterday was already a heavy one.”, asked Dinda.
The girl opened the porch door and pulled the curtains so that the fresh air outside could enter inside. Her husband, Arya, is still loyal to her pillows, blankets, and mattresses. Dinda got back on the bed and tried to wake her up.
“Mas Arya, so what light talk?”, Dinda keeps charging him.
Arya was not flirting at all.
“Think, if you get what you want, you must have forgotten the previous conversation.”, said Dinda while pretending to be upset and inching down from the mattress.
“Hn?”, Arya instantly pulled Dinda's arm to go back up and sit next to her.
The man's eyes were still closed. Looks like he's still sleepy.
“Yes right? Mas Arya like that.”, said Dinda.
“Who said? Today is a holiday. Just sleep a little more.”, said Arya pulled Dinda back in her arms.
“I'm up, don't pull it again, mas. I want to take a shower.”, said Dinda refused Arya's embrace.
Arya shakes.
“No, you enter again.”, said Arya.
“Ya already pack bolsters aja.”, reply Dinda.
“Ga. It wants you.”, said Arya who even took her bolster and threw it away somewhere.
“Ih.. why dumped.”
“Sini.”, said Arya who was finally followed by Dinda.
“Manja.”, says Dinda plays her husband's cheek.
Arya, the man had already closed his eyes again and pulled Dinda in his arms. Looks like he'll continue his sleep for at least one to two hours. Arya is so. On weekdays, he wakes up quickly. But while on holiday, being dragged to the bathroom too, he would not be aware.
“I don't want to sleep again. It's time to go down, help me prepare breakfast. It's a holiday. Only days like this I can help mama.”, said Dinda still continue to persuade her husband to wake up.
“Udah. day off. Mama also said, you are pregnant can not work too hard.”, said Arya chimed.
His talk was starting to get unclear as he had already started to re-enter the dreamland.
“When do you want to talk about the light topic?”, asked Dinda.
Now, the girl had already moved her hand to play Arya's already random hair. Slip it with your hands back. Then, on a whim he pulled one hair so that Arya felt an itch.
“Aww... do not be revoked later the handsome is reduced.”, Arya's response turned her body to face Dinda and hugged the girl even tighter.
“Do not be strong - strong, pity his baby mas.”, said Dinda.
“Oiya yes sorry yes dear.”, said Arya loosened a little.
Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok
There was a knock on the door from outside.
“Iya. ma..”, Dinda tried to answer but Arya blocked her by hand.
“That mama called, mas.”, said Dinda panicked and wanted to get up but Arya blocked her.
“Gappa.. Most mama just woke up doang. It is still morning.”, Arya said.
“What if you need help?”, said Dinda felt bad.
“There Was Ibas, Bi Rumi, and Pak Asep. They must have been standby.”, said Arya tightened her embrace again, but still pay attention to baby bump Dinda.
“Inseng.”, Dinda's response.
Dinda heard Inggit knock at least two to three times. But eventually it stopped.
It might not be an urgent thing, Dinda thought. Because Inggit also knocked it slowly.
“Harum.”, said Arya kissed Dinda's hair which was still corrugated.
“Ya.. Sleep there satisfied. Be careful, her body will not be sixpack again.”, said Dinda menoel - noel cheek of her husband.
There was no response from Arya. It seemed like he was really drowning in his dreamland again. Dinda moved her fingers along the texture of Aryan's face.
“Hehehe... handsome.”, said Dinda after successfully tracing every corner of her husband.
Muachs.
Dinda then shuffled forward and kissed Aryan's forehead, cheeks, and lips. The man who was kissed didn't budge at all. He's asleep again.
***********
“Oh.. papa.”, the Prince ran from his room when he saw his papa car stopped in front of the house.
“Den, do not run - run.”, said the babysitter Putera who was preparing her clothes to return to the dorm.
“Papaa...”, the Prince ran in his papa's arms as soon as he got to the door.
“Oh... papa's child is already at home?”, asked Dika while holding Putera.
“Hn. It was a week ago. Papa does not go home.”, said the Prince interrogated his papa.
“Oh sorry - sorry, papa there is business in the office so can not go home first.”, said Dika gave a false excuse.
Though he since the embarrassing incident that his wife did in the office, Dika stay at a nearby hotel. He tried to finish well with Rianti but the woman remained stubborn.
This time he came home because Rianti called him and said that Putera wanted to spend time with him. Initially Dika refused, but Rianti finally promised to apologize to the intern child he hit the other day.
Not only because in order for Dika to come home, Rianti thought back that nothing good would come out if his father knew that someone had reported him to the police station. Despite this he had to swallow his pride, at least apologizing would be a better choice than he had to lose assets from his papa.
“Hai... “, who just came out of his room.
Actually, Dika is not happy to choose today because it is a holiday. Rianti must be at home and he must be forced to act with the woman so that the Prince does not feel his parents are fighting.
Today is the last day of the Prince's holiday. Tomorrow he'll have to go back to the dorm. Her nanny is tidying up her clothes and needs in the dorm.
As of this moment, Dika had to accept when Rianti kissed her cheek even though her frustration at the incident was still peaking. He still did not think why his wife slapped people without asking first.
Who would tell and heat up - the mana. Until now, he still thinks that person is Sarah. However, whenever Dika discussed this, Sarah always denied. This isn't his type.
As far as she was concerned, she was the most powerful woman among all the women she had ever met, including Rianti. If he really did, he wouldn't have spun the word and immediately admitted it. However, she had contacted Sarah twice and she always denied it.
“That's right, mama said. Papa you must be home.”, said Rianti tidying his son's hair.
“I want to take Putera out.”, Dika said to Rianti.
“Hn.”, Rianti replied.
“Bi, please yes.”, said Dika who asked her nanny to help Putera get ready - ready.
She also needs to change clothes. Some days he only wears limited clothes because he only brought a few strands yesterday.
“Thank you for coming to Putera.”, Rianti said as Dika picked up her clothes in the closet.
“Don't forget your promise. I will arrange a time with her husband so that we can clean up all these problems in a family.”, said Dika while taking some clothes and putting them in a bag.
“You really don't want to go home? Come onl.. I want to swallow my shame and apologize.”, said Rianti.
“Shut.. keep your voice down or the Son will hear it. I don't want to fight with you today. Once you apologize and the problem is over, I'll go home. Remember, I'm not an ABG kid running away from home. I also need time to clear my mind so that every time we meet we do not need a big fight.”, said Dika explained the reason.
“As far as you are. I have asked you to go home twice.”, said Rianti lazy when in fact in his heart he felt sad. Why can everything be like this.
“I asked you once again. Who told you that the woman and I were having an affair?”, Dika asked with great emphasis.
Rianti still did not answer.
“You don't want to say it? I have to know who can - usually give the news is not true.”, said Dika.
Rianti was still trying to shut up.
‘If I say it. Then I'm finished. Better I just shut up.’, Rianti said in his heart.
“Good. I'm giving you time to digest my question well. I just want to know, who can - usually give you such dangerous information. You realize, if anything happens to that woman's pregnancy, you're in jail. Understood it? Lucky, he is fine - fine.”, said Dika clarified the problem again.
“You're worried about me?”, Rianti always has a different angle on every word Dika.
“In your dream.”, he said then went to take the bag to the car.
He didn't want the prince to see it. They lied that Dika had not stayed outside to make her son believe that nothing had happened between them.
‘Should he say it cruelly like that?’, Rianti thought inwardly.
“Pa, I'm already readyp.”, shouted Putera about 10 minutes later.
She is ready for sporty clothes. Do not forget a hat and a waistbag bag as a complement.
“Mama did not follow?”, asked the Prince who still saw his mother in house clothes.
He thought they were going to walk the three streets today.
“Sorry, no dear. Mama there is still work to be done.”, said Dika.
“Iya darling. Mama still has a lot of work. Sorry yeah. Later after playing with papa, when - when we look for more time to play with mama. Maybe on your vacation next month.”, Rianti was forced to put out her smile and play acting together with Dika.
They both seem to be playing at home.
“The playing time is split - split.”, said Putera a little disappointed.
“Yes already, you are now getting in the car. Papa will soon follow.”, said Dika asked his nanny to help Putera get into the car.
“Do not night - the night of his return. You know Putera is not strong with the night wind.”, Rianti said giving a message.
“Heh, since when did you start caring like that. I know that too. Just relax.”, said Dika.
“I'm not coming home tonight. I'll just take the Prince home and then go again. I said so that you do not drama and can work together.”, Dika said later.
“Serah.”, Rianti no longer cares.
For a long time he was also sick of having to keep lowering his ego and self-esteem in front of this man. Can't she be a little gentle with him. 10 years, they've been married for 10 years but why every day feels the same.
***********
Drrrrrttttt Drrrrrrttt Drrrrrrttttt
Arya just finished doing her work that still exists even though today is a holiday. He heard a cell phone ringing in the room even though both of his phones were within his reach. Means Dinda's phone.
Arya had not seen his wife since this morning after they were ready to move for today. Arya decides to see who's calling her phone.
It says Mother's name (emoticon love) on Dinda's phone screen. Arya casually lifted it up.
“Halo, Bun.”, greet Arya first.
“Oh... Assalamu’alaikum nak Arya.”, greet Mother Ratna surprised because who picked up the phone was precisely her daughter-in-law. He was suddenly nervous and clumsy.
“Waalaikumsalam, Mommy.”, Arya felt a little embarrassed because she did not start her greeting with a greeting. He was picking up his phone.
“How are you?”, asked Ratna starting with a base - stale.
It has been about a month since Arya and Dinda last played to her house. They only delivered a few packages of food and then the night they returned home.
“Good, Bun. Mommy and Arga how are you?”, asked Arya also berbasi asking the news of the two.
“Alhamdulillah we are good. Arga too. He is preparing - ready to go to college.”, replied Ratna excitedly.
Arga had already told her that Arya helped her to choose the right college and major. Thanks to Arya, Arga who was initially still confused what to take, now has a clear goal at least for the next 5 years.
He even showed her the education and career path as well as some specialties that she wanted to take during college and the first year of her career. Since the intense and serious discussion with Arya, Arga immediately made her brother-in-law as a role model.
“Thank you son Arya. Mother used to like to be confused, why Arga never told what - what about the school. Maybe because Mommy also does not understand so she is also confused about the story. Want to tell her sister also Dinda used to be busy in college after that straight to work. Thank you yes.”, said Ratna was pleased to express her gratitude.
“Haha. is nothing - what is mother. Should have. Lucky Arga was his type like me. For these things he was very enthusiastic. Same with sister. Enthusiastic but if there is a prize. Ha-ha.”, said Arya laughing.
Ibas is smart like Arya. But he's like a hamster. If there were no movers, he would not move. And he's also too stubborn. The more Kuswan presses him, the more he doesn't want to follow his papa's words.
Therefore he also had to waste a year in medical school even though he did not want to. He's hard to principle first. Now, Arya is already quite surprised because she wants to be more assertive on her career.
“Where are the windows for Arya?”, asked Ratna.
He was confused about what else to talk about. Finally he was looking for Dinda because what he was going to say he thought was urgent.
“Hm.. her phone left in the room. Try Arya looking down first, Bun. Maybe it is busy with Mama.”, said Arya who had not come out of the room.
Even for breakfast, Dinda had to ask Bi Rumi for help to bring her upstairs. At 9 o'clock it arrived - Siska contacted Arya because there are urgent things to be done. Finally the man sat in his study until now.
“Din, Dinda..”, call Arya from above.
“Iyaa mas.?”, Dinda replied from below. He lifted his neck up.
“Ya already gapap, I am down.”, said Arya directly down the stairs once found his wife.
“Mother..”, said Arya handed the phone over.
“Oh.. “, Dinda immediately wiped the dirt in her hand with the apron she was wearing and received the phone from Arya.
There was no Bi Rumi or mama in the kitchen. There is only Dinda. It doesn't seem like much to do.
Arya approached Dinda and hugged her from behind.
“Let's see, shame.”, whispered Dinda to Arya who had stuck to her again.
“At home why shy.”, Aryan protest.
“Assalamu’alaikum, hello Bunda.”, greet Dinda soon after.
He can't avoid Arya's embrace and let her do whatever she likes. He can no longer be banned.
“Eh..”, Dinda's response was shocked when Arya kissed her neck instead.
“Why dear?”, asked Ratna to hear Dinda's voice.
“Aha... enggak Mommy.”, replied Dinda laughing clumsily.
“Mas Arya!”, shouted Dinda silently and hit the man's hand.
Arya just smiled at the satisfied knot of having pricked his wife.
“Oh..How dong Din, your in-laws invite mama to come to the house. It was his friends who were the top level of all. You are ashamed, dear. Mommy has told mba Inggit mother can not but still told to come.”, Ratna said confided to her son.
“Gapapa, mom. They are not rich in soap operas - soap operas, really. Sometimes the gossip likes to be sharp but not the one who judges people from the material as well kok, ma or from appearance. Marion, ma. There is Dinda. If mama is not comfortable later stay to play to Dinda.” room, said Dinda calm her mother.
Since long ago, Ratna was the type who rarely participated in gatherings like this. She has been traumatized since being abandoned by her husband and talked about by the crowd. Now, he's getting comfortable because many old neighbors have moved so that people who bring up the old story are no longer there.
“Mother should wear what dong. Fear of overuse, too ordinary is also afraid of jomplang.”, Ratna said.
Dinda smiled hearing the response of her mother. Exactly like him.
“Shirt that time mas Arya love to mother? That's great, Bun.”, said Dinda giving advice.
Arya looked towards him as if asking because her name was called - say.
“Ohiya.. Ihh kok munda forgot yes. right .. munda never fad try. Real nice. Arya pinter.”, praise Ratna.
Dinda smiled inwardly. Behind the screen of the process of buying the clothes, there is actually a drama where Arya continues to call Dinda repeatedly asking if this is suitable, whether it is suitable, what if the mother does not like, what color, how, lalalala up to many times.
Arya bought it at one of the boutiques when she was assigned to work out of town. It turns out that in addition to buying for Dinda, Arya was silent - silent also bought for Ratna and mama Inggit.
Dinda did not want to say that it was the result of a question - ask him so that the happy level of his mother increased.
“Who will you leave with?”, asked Dinda.
“Mba Inggit said later mama was picked up with Mr. Asep, after Mr. Asep to transfer your father-in-law to meet with friends - friends.”, said Ratna.
“Thank God. I thought you didn't know who to come here yet. Arga not invited? Later let me play with Ibas, ma.”, said Dinda.
“Gapa? Disturb Ibas. Arga is his son. Gapapas. Later there is Dito also Bun, cousin mas Arya. They can play together in Ibas's room. Pity him at home alone if there is no promise to play with his friend.”, said Dinda.
“Ya already, mommy will tell Arga. Yes, you go on. I'll meet you there later. Assalamu’alaikum.”, Ratna said hung up
“Iya, Bun. Waalaikumsalam.”, replied Dinda.
“What's the matter, baby? How rich the signs - sign of the upcoming rame - rame?”, asked Arya.
“Mas Arya.nanya ordinary dong, do not use this close. Keep his hand saying again that hug - hug, hold - hold. This is a common area, mas.”, Dinda said as Arya had already flipped over her body and approached while looking at her face, very close.
Her hand was already hugging Dinda's shoulder plus playing her hair.
“Biarina. So what's the matter?”, asked Arya no matter.
Dinda could only shake - the head gnarled she made.
“The master of the house this time is mama. So later friends - friends arisan mama here. Keep mother also invited.”, said Dinda like throwing a bomb on Arya.
“Eh? The arisan? Here?”, asked Arya in disbelief.
“Hn. This is new mama info. She said Mama Skip, she only found out yesterday. That's why it's busy now. This morning - mama has been to the market with Bi Rumi. There is only less, because it is noon so now they go to the supermarket.”, said Dinda confused to see the reaction of her husband.
“Hah. Why didn't you say. That was yesterday I took you to the apartment, Din.”, said Arya.
“Hm? Why?”, asked Dinda confused.
“Definitely later mama display us rich mannequin in front of friends - friends of his shield.”, said Arya looked lethargic.
“Why? Mas Arya is embarrassed if friends - mama's friends know Arya's wife now I?”
“Eh? Why do you think?”, asked Arya really - really speechless.
“Ya already, if Arya mas embarrassed later I will not go out - out of the room.”, said Dinda avoids the reach of Arya.
Arya immediately rounded her eyes in disbelief. Why does his wife even think that? Don't - don't do this because of the hormones associated with pregnant women again. Ah... pregnant is amazing indeed, Arya thought in her heart.
“Honey, dear, dear. Why can you think so. Listen, I was really excited to show you as your wife in the office, where maybe I'm not proud if I want to show you as my wife in front of my mother - PKK mother eh wrong…”, said Dinda directly approached his wife again and gave an explanation.
He must immediately dispel the misunderstanding of his wife. Otherwise it would be dangerous, Arya thought.
“Sayang.. Darling... Din... horrified me, yes.”, call Arya while continuing to give an explanation.
