For God's sake, I'm sincere
Just Want Attention

Amidst the crowds, many people passed by and Alizha walked alone inside the traditional market to buy food supplies. While Afif just drove him in front not to get inside.

At first Afif asked Alizha to shop at the supermarket only, but Alizha refused because she wanted to buy food cheaper than in the supermarket. Alizha shops a lot of vegetables and fish at once for dinner with her extended family.

"Mas, let's go home" Alizha told Afif, who was waiting for her to stand in front of the car.

"Udah finished?" ask Afif while helping bring Alizha's groceries and put them in the trunk of the car.

"Udah" replied Alizha.

In the car Afif asked Alizha. "Why don't you go shopping at the supermarket? Isn't it easy to choose and you won't be jostling to walk."

Alizha turned her head and held Afif's hand. "Mas, we're married. It is time that I as a wife can manage finances and must learn to save for our future. Moreover, in the traditional market the quality is fresher because it is directly from the supplier and most importantly the price is below twice that in the supermarket."

Afif did not refuse Alizha's hand grip even he enjoyed Alizha's delicate hand. He wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't. Somehow Afif's heart became comfortable near his wife.

In the kitchen, Alizha was busy struggling with her cooking. This afternoon he cooked many kinds of food that will be prepared for dinner later with his extended family. Alizha has been used to cooking even one of her hobbies and she does not feel the hassle to do all her cooking.

Afif who had seen his wife cooking in the kitchen he sometimes felt sorry for his wife because of cooking a lot. It occurred to Afif's mind to want to help him, but he was a little prestige to do so. He prefers to play games on his phone. It's selfish of Afif.

"Mas," call Alizha.

"Hm?" sahut Afif is still busy playing on his phone.

"Mas so testing my cooking huh? Cobain deh, if less anything let Alizha benahin taste," said Alizha walked closer to Afif who was sitting at the dining table while carrying his cooking on a plate.

"Try it."

"You tried it yourself. I'm busy" said Afif annoyed to prefer the game.

"Mas is more concerned with games on Mas's phone? While Mas' real wife is in front of this Mas?" Alizha.

"Mas," call Alizha once again.

"Can't you just appreciate Alizha a little?" alizha was disappointed.

"You're all right," Afif snapped as he kicked down the dinner table and left Alizha.

Alizha was startled and her body was immediately glued to the spot, she could not believe her husband was that selfish. But Alizha is not his name if he can't wait to face it.

'To be patient, may this be a test from Allah, ' inwardly Alizha.

"When the intention is only to want the attention of Mas Afif," said Alizha monologue herself while trying to smile, even though her own tears had wanted to come out.

Suddenly Alizha's phone rang on the dining table, when she found a phone call from her brother Adib. Alizha answered the phone call immediately.

"*Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum Bang?"

"Later to your new home. You want to nitip something? Mumpung Abang again kind."

"Em what is it? Alizha did not want anything anymore." Alizha's voice sounded a little raucous because she held back her tears.

"Don't you mind, why Dek? You cry, huh? or out crying? You why? Same story as brother."

"Neither Alizha gapapa, Alizha just cut the onion into a cry."

"If there's anything to say to Brother. Later Abang bawain fruit hands so that you can make your snacks at home."

"Terperih Deh. Tumben's also nawarin."

"Hehe gapapa dong. Yaudah Abang hang up, Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam*."

Suddenly Afif came to Alizha and immediately got angry.

"Whose phone call are you, huh?! Same with other men? Clever, brave yes now in snapped a little run directly to others," said Afif angry, somehow when he saw Alizha call with others he felt unacceptable.

"Why the hell?"

"Why are you? Who did you talk to on the phone?"

"Bang Adib's. By Allah Mas, I just call my brother," said Alizha while showing the call history earlier.

"As far as you are," said Afif immediately left again, his intention was not to take a drink. But a little relief in Afif's heart if his wife has no relationship with anyone else.

"Where are you going?" shout Alizha.

Afif's move stopped. "Get out."

"Can Mas Afif come home in time when our family will be here? I beg you to."

"Yes." Yeah."

Alizha had been waiting for Afif's arrival for almost two hours. Half an hour later his family and Afif's family will visit his home. He did not want later if his family was anxious and thought there was a problem in this new household.

Alizha herself is confused about what is happening with Afif now. Even though just yesterday at his wedding Afif behaved sweetly like a real husband. But what's with Afif now since moving in this new house.

The food had been prepared by Alizha at the dining table neatly and now her house was clean. He was still walking back and forth in the middle room waiting for Afif. Shortly thereafter Afif came in with his cold state of attitude. But Alizha patiently faced her husband's behavior. She even gently served her husband.

"Oh yes Alizha has also made warm green tea for Mas, so that his body remains fresh" said Alizha in a soft tone.

"This towel is also Alizha readyin," said Alizha as she approached Afif and gave the towel she was carrying.

Afif just kept quiet and didn't say a word, so he went straight to the bathroom to clean himself up.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

The sound of the door coming from outside.

Alizha immediately walked to open it.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Mother Namira immediately embraced Alizha's body.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied Alizha as she returned her arms.

"There is teletubis nih Yah." joked Adib.

"Hush, what the hell are you Dib," said Nabhan's father.

"Hehe."

"Well his family Afif hasn't come yet?" ask Mommy.

"Not yet, maybe soon Bun. Come on in all," said Alizha.

"Where's your husband Dek?" adib said while sitting on the sofa in the middle room.

"Give a bath" replied Alizha.

"Sir, this is brown brown-brown Abang bawain," said Adib while thrusting the paper bag.

"Well, thank you, Bang" said Alizha and took it and headed for the kitchen.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Mama and Oma Afif at the door and then entered.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered all.

"Udah here first anyway," said Oma while splashing on Mother Alizha.

"Same master, which hostess is this?" say Mama.

"Alizhenya to the kitchen, he continued to say that Afif was still bathing," Adib replied politely.

Afif also came down from the stairs directly approached the family. "Oma" said Afif, kissing his hand.

"Well Papa where's Mah?" afif said, then kissed his mother's hand.

"Oh your father will follow, there is still a lot of work earlier he said."

"Mama's here with Oma on what?" ask Afif.

"Biasalah taxi online," replied Mama then Afif just nodded in understanding while ber Oh ria.

"Everyone went straight to the dining room, Alizha was ready for dinner" said Alizha excitedly.

"Wahh come-ayo all," said Oma.

They also sat in their dining chairs. Alizha is between Afif and his mother. And Alizha hopes tonight her husband doesn't act cold to her. They were all ready for their own dishes. Afif is still served by his wife.

"Would you like fried chicken or shrimp?" ask Alizha.

"Mas wants chicken only Zha," said Afif gently despite his heart he had to do this all.

'This time I'm in front of the family must look soft, ' Afif's inner self.

"Assalamu'alaikum sorry I'm late, hehe," said Papa Afif.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered all.

"Sit here Pah. I was ready to eat with our daughter-in-law" said Mama and her father Afif sitting next to her.

After dinner, all the family chatted in the living room happily and appeared on their faces. But another thing with Afif who only pretended to be happy in front of his family, even though in Afif's heart he was not happy as he seemed.

Alizha also seemed pleased with the change of her husband sitting next to her more tenderly now. He thought Afif had changed, but he did not and only pretended.

The clock has shown at 22:30 p.m., it is almost late at night. Now the Alizha and Afif families say goodbye to return home.

"Son, we're going home. If there is time we will play here again really," said Mama who faced Alizha.

"Yes Mah" replied Alizha.

"Take good care of both of you" said Oma.

"Yes, we will take care of ourselves" Afif said, smiling.

"Dec, we go home first. You take care of yourself with your husband. Mommy will miss you," said Mommy while hugging the body of the princess.

"Yes, Mother must also take care of herself. Especially his health as well. Alizha dear Mother."

"It's already night. You guys take a break, we go home, yes" Dad said to the car as he waved.

"Home Deck" cried Adib from the windshield waving his hand.

"Dad, watch out for everyone."

"Be careful."
