Father's Status On My Son's Deed
113. Cravings

"Assalamualaikum" Hasbi and Dira said as they entered the house.

"Waalaikumsalam, have you gone home? Mama thought tonight you guys slept in the apartment first" said Mama Liana.

"No, Ma, tomorrow's Dira has started work so, just clean up today so don't bother tomorrow," replied Hasbi while pulling the suitcase of the wife.

"Dira's starting work tomorrow? So fast! Tomorrow go to work with the driver Mama alone, if you use your own car Mama worried."

"Don't do it, Ma. I don't want to take neuropoxin. I'm also used to driving my own car. Besides my workplace is also not too far from here," interrupted Dira who felt bad.

"For tomorrow let me deliver. I'm not working yet the day after tomorrow" Hasbi said.

"Yes, let Hasbi drive tomorrow."

Finally Dira assures it, there is no harm also delivered by the husband. Hasbi immediately brought his wife's belongings to the room. Dira also helped, he did not want the husband to bother because of him.

"Darling, don't you want anything?" ask Aji.

I don't know how many times he asked. Since yesterday the man has been asking his wife what she wants. However, Asha felt reluctant. The woman did not want anything so, she could only say no or shake her head, which made her husband sad because he felt he was not needed.

"What the hell are you, Mas? From yesterday the question continued? I told you I didn't want anything."

"But I want to buy you something, baby. I want to know what it's like to obey the wishes of pregnant women," said Aji with a hopeful face.

"But, Mas, not all pregnant women crave. There are also ordinary ones, the important thing is that me and our future children are healthy, that's enough."

"Yes, I know, but as a husband I also want to know what other husbands are feeling out there. Who sometimes upset because his wife's desire strange. sometimes feel happy because finally can get what his wife wants, while I can not feel it."

Asha did not expect that Aji had such thoughts. However, it was natural because all this time they were far away. During her first pregnancy, her husband never bought her anything when she was cravings. Though in his heart he also wanted to be noticed as he is now.

Asha who felt sorry for Aji was suddenly reminded of something she wanted. However, he doubted whether the husband could fulfill it or not.

"What's up, honey? Why is it like that? Is there something you want?" Tanta Aji, instantly made Asha smile while nodding.

Of course, this makes Aji smile too. He impatiently wanted to know what his wife wanted. Surely the man will try his hardest to be realized

"What do you want, honey? Just tell me, I'll definitely give it to you. How much you want, I will definitely try to fulfill it."

"But what I want is probably not worth the price, Mas."

"meaning? You want what?"

Asha hesitated to make a sound. However, in his heart he really wanted it. Wrong himself the husband who offered himself, now he who even imagined the food. The woman looked at Aji inside before saying so.

"Huh ...."

Aji gawked in disbelief, how could the wife ask for such a thing. The relationship between him and Naura had indeed improved, but he had already completely kept his distance with the woman. Now even Asha wants her best friend to come here to cook. It was not that Aji did not want to, it was just that he felt strange if he contacted Naura again.

Especially now that the woman already has a husband, it must be a little difficult to ask her to come. Aji also did not have the courage to contact her best friend. He had already decided to no longer bond anything with Naura despite being in a friendly relationship.

"Why, Mas? Is it too hard for me to wish you to stupefy like that?" ask Asha with her sad face.

"Bu–it's not like that, honey. Why should it be Naura? I'm asking Auntie to make you some fried rice or we'll buy it outside, in your favorite place?" ask Aji who is trying to find another alternative.

"I don't want to, Mom. I told you I wanted to see Naura cook, but if my request was too hard, it's okay. I will forget myself too."

Aji also felt guilty for not being able to comply with the wishes of his wife. Though from yesterday he had been waiting for Asha to ask him something, but now when he wanted something even he who could not fulfill it. Finally the man tried to contact Naura, but by using Asha's phone, he did not want any misunderstanding later.

"Hello, assalamualaikum. What's up, Sha? Tumben you called me, must be something?" ask Naura who is across the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam, um. sorry, Nau. It's me." It's me."

"Oh, Aji, what's wrong? I thought Asha called."

"Yes, I accidentally used Asha's phone. That's because I want to ask you for help."

"Asking for help? What favor? If I could help God willing. What's the matter?"

Aji was still silent, thinking about how to tell him. She felt even more uneasy about contacting Naura when she needed help. All this time, the man had deliberately closed the communication. Although Asha himself sometimes still exchanged messages with his best friend.

"Come ... Asha wants your fried rice, do you want to come to my house and make fried rice for Asha?"

"Fried rice? Why is this suddenly?" naura asked while scratching her non-itchy head.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, just communicated. It was just exchanging messages with Asha. He also has no idea where Aji and Asha live, either together with Aji's parents or in his own house that Naura doesn't know where her address is.

"Actually, Asha is pregnant. Either suddenly he asked to make fried rice with you. I hope you understand that this is a pregnant mother's request."

"Thank God, then. I am so glad to hear the happy news from you. Then I'll try. How about I just make it in my house so, take it to your house."

"Don't! Asha wants to see you cook so, you just make it here. I've also prepared the ingredients."

"Oh so, yes I have, but I have permission from my husband first! Hopefully allowed."

"Yes, it's okay."

Aji immediately said his greetings and ended the call. He hoped Naura would help, this was also out of his control. Otherwise Asha would feel sad.
