Father's Status On My Son's Deed
8. The Lent of Aji

Inside Asha's room was still sitting on the edge of the bed, contemplating the fate that had brought her this far. She was lucky to have a husband like Aji. Although the woman knew it only for a while, there would at least be that man responsible for her child. Asha promises when the time comes she will completely walk away from her life, but before that happens, the woman will devote her entire life to her husband.

Think of it as a payment for Aji because he was willing to give a name to be written in his child's birth certificate. If it was someone else would have definitely refused just like that, without careful consideration. Although Asha knew if the man was forced to, at least the husband still had a heart of caring for others. He also felt guilty for having to use the names of his two in-laws.

The woman believes that if Aji is a good person, she will not let others suffer. For Asha that is enough, he wants later his son to have an attitude like Aji, responsible and willing to help others. The woman felt her body so tired, Asha also laid her body on the bed. Last night he couldn't sleep and was now completely sleepy.

Until finally he actually flew in a dream, while Aji who was in the room was still thinking about the path taken. Is this true or not. However, the more thought it actually adds to the headache. The man really had no other choice, Aji immediately made a marriage agreement letter according to what he said to Asha while at the hotel.

One by one he wrote there without missing a single one. Not to forget also the points of the wife yesterday, it is not something difficult, but still difficult to carry it out. Every time Aji looked at Asha, there was an inexplicable feeling. One side of the man was hurt, on the other side was a feeling of peace that the wife presented.

The next morning Asha woke up early. After the dawn prayer the woman was already busy in the kitchen. Fortunately, yesterday Aji had bought a lot of food ingredients so, he did not have to bother cooking what today. The woman's hand movements looked so agile.

For people who know Asha would not have expected if she was very good at cooking. Judging from his face alone looks like a spoiled child, let alone his very rich family, surely all needs have also been met. However, who would have thought if in the house the woman always cooked together with her mother. Household assistants at home just to clean the house. Kitchen business all Mama Nisa's taking care of.

This made Asha finally interested and wanted to help her mother. It had become his habit of making the woman very skilled at cooking. Aji who just woke up smelled a very pleasant aroma, so unconsciously her feet stepped towards the kitchen. He saw his wife was busy there. The man just silently looked at her from a distance.

In Aji's heart said, if Asha had never done anything wrong, she would be so happy now because she has a wife who wants to bother with kitchen affairs. However, rice has become porridge, what has become hope turns out all inversely proportional. The wife he really wanted was not as good as the man thought. Until now, Aji was very curious, what kind of man Asha protected.

It was fortunate that the man who already had the whole heart of Asha. It is not like him who is just an escape and will be used as a result of responsibility, an act that he never did. Can Aji be jealous of her, just look never. Even the man knew nothing about his wife's past.

“Mas, are you awake? Are you hungry already? Cuisine is not finished, this is a little more,” Asha said when she saw the whereabouts of the husband.

Aji who was daydreaming immediately became annoyed when she heard the voice of the woman. He also stared at his wife. “I'm not hungry, you better not cook. I won't eat it either.”

Aji turned around wanting to go back upstairs. However, suddenly the voice of Asha dismissed him. “But, Mom, didn't you promise yesterday that you would appreciate me? You should eat what I cook and let me do all my chores. You remember that promise, right?”

Instantly Aji fell silent to condemn his mistake for simply agreeing with what Asha said yesterday. However, now that he really did not want to see Asha's face, he had to appreciate her. Want to not finally accept it.

Asha herself heaved a sigh of relief, she knew at this moment Aji was still unable to come to terms with the circumstances. It is he who will seek to make the man accustomed to his existence. Asha hopes to melt Aji's heart and make this marriage a perfect and final marriage. If he can't, he'll never regret it.

At least he's lived with a guy as good as Aji. The woman continued cooking, while Aji who was in the room felt very upset. He must obey the request of the wife, but want how else because he has also promised. The man decided to clean his body, then went down with the file he had made last night, a marriage agreement between himself and Asha.

“Bacah! If there is something less just say it, I will add it,” Aji said as he handed a map to his wife.

Instantly Asha was stunned, so quickly the husband made a covenant letter. However, he could not protest because this was his wish from the very beginning. At least the woman could hold on for a while. Regarding the future of himself and the baby, let time answer. In addition Asha also had to raise money for her future.

The woman looked at her husband and ventured to say, “Mas, I have another condition.”

Aji frowned and looked at his wife. He did not believe that Asha could still apply for conditions when his position was in place not to issue an opinion. However, the man was also curious what conditions the wife wanted to propose.

“What?”

“I want you to keep allowing me to work.”

“Didn't you work before? If I let you, what do your parents say? They'll assume I'm not cut out to be husband!”

“I will give them understanding, if all is pure my desire. I can't depend on you forever. When I split up, at least I have a handle to hold on.”

Aji smiled cynically. “It turns out you've thought that far, but you take it easy, what you do at home just think of it as work. I'll pay you so, you don't have to worry.”

Aji put a credit card on the table and again said, “Every month I will send money to that account. It is your monthly money as well as your salary during being in this house so, you do not need to find a job out there.”

Asha was still speechless, staring at the card, this was not what she meant. It seems that Aji is misunderstanding. However, arguing also feels useless because as Aji said earlier, his parents will definitely not let him work.
