FOR HER SAKE
S2 - The First

For some people, home is just a place to stay. Busy activities out there, making them think of the house as just a place to rest before tomorrow returns to a myriad of activities each.

Some consider home to be their paradise. The most comfortable place to unwind and miss the people they love.

The place back home in all the flavors they brought from out there. Hope the warmth and love in the house can again make them feel peaceful and happy.

There are also those who think of the house only as a shelter from the hot sun. Take shelter from the rain. And take refuge from the cold of the night.

They do not care about the shape of the house they live in. As long as it can still provide functions as it should, it is enough for the lower middle class.

But there are also people who consider home is a form of life achievement that they get. The more money they can earn, the bigger and more luxurious the house they build.

Hope the family they have will be happy with the house they offer. Home for them to gather and share flavors.

On the second birthday of the children. Alvaro celebrates in a new home that he managed to wake up from his efforts so far.

Not a fancy party. Only a thanksgiving event for the increasing age of her baby who grows healthy. At once thanks for the house they will occupy starting that day.

Only invite family and close relatives, as well as children of the orphanage to pray for all the good and blessings for their families. Especially the little ones with birthdays.

But the owner is still busy with work. Makes the wife grunt with a flat object stuck in her ear.

"What time is this Emperor Alvaro! why not go home too? the guests are all coming?!" tiara half whispered. Feel bad for invited guests because of the ngaret time of the specified time.

"Yes, baby, sorry. It's just finished. I'm going straight home."

Tiara sighed harshly and instantly turned off the phone call.

Alvaro himself chose the day and time of the event. But instead the man was busy on a special day for them.

"Where's honey?" ask daddy Alvin who followed Tiara to the side yard.

"Al just finished dad.." replied Tiara lethargic.

I think the woman was very disappointed in her husband. Alvaro is too preoccupied with work and final assignments.

Feel no longer important to Alvaro's life. Feeling that her husband is not always there for her and the children. Even on a day that should have been a happy day for their little family.

Fortunately provided the game. So that the invited guests who are most children are not bored because of waiting.

"Yes, let's start praying first. Could've finished the night if we waited for Alvaro."

Tiara nodded in lethargy. The grip on the shoulder of the father made him take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Put on a sweet smile for everyone. Especially for his two little guys.

"Mama.. Ayoo..iup iyin (blown in candles)" cried the brother who ran and hugged his feet. Also by his sister.

Tiara smiled and nodded. Coupling his two very handsome children with semi-formal suits that are combined with white shirts and navy color jeans in line with the suit. I also forgot the white sneaker.

***

The event began with a joint prayer led by a religious leader. Pray for all the good for their little family.

Alvaro came right in the middle of the kids singing birthday songs.

Not only the invited guests, the two little boys also looked very happy with the many friends who were in their homes. There is no fear or shame in either. They confidently sing along with a slurred voice that sometimes sounds more like a mutter.

"Sorry late." whispered Alvaro who kissed his wife's pouting cheeks at her arrival.

But the look of the face turned bright again when they saw how enthusiastic their two hearts were when they were about to blow the candle.

The show finished just before evening. If Alvaro had not been late, it would have been done early.

All the guests one by one left their residence. Including their parents. Because only the main room and children are filled. Also the housekeeper's room is also a children's baby sitter.

"Okay mama." cried both at the same time.

Tiara asks the babysitter who looks after her two children to clean the bodies of her brother and ade and change their clothes. While the woman turned into her room to prepare her husband's clothes that were bathing.

Even though his heart was feeling bad. But his duties as a wife cannot be ignored.

"Thank you dear." whispered a voice with a hand that hugged her from behind.

Tiara sighed. "You really work, don't you, Al?"

Alvaro who was confused by his wife's question immediately took off his embrace and raised the chin that the man had previously rested on his wife's shoulder.

"Work is dear. Where am I going?" alvaro answered with a hand that twisted his wife's body so that they would face each other.

"But why only you? What's the point of having employees if they can't afford office problems?" almost all of Alvaro's important employees came to their event. Including Dika and Bobby.

"If there's no rich show right now, okay Al, I can understand! but it's a kids' show. Their important event!" there was a vibration of emotion in Tiara's voice. Since her husband left this morning, the woman has been very irritated. Added to the delay her husband who made her emotions at the tip of the horn and ready she vomited.

"Yes sory. I was wrong. But it was an important client-"

"And we're not important to you?! we lost out on that client?! money is more everything to you than I am to a child?!" sela Tiara with a voice that began to rise.

"You know why Ra. Your husband is working to make money for you as well as children. So it's less important what do you make me?!" alvaro's voice went up.

Tired of the myriad of jobs and demands of clients that many want.

He wanted to go home and find peace. The warm welcome of the wife and the laughter of the children can always restore his spirit.

Not even getting a spate of anger like this. His tired soul and youth can also behave that he will later regret.

Tiara laughed heartily. "You should be aware of your mistakes. Not even going to raise your tone of voice!"

"And you should be able to serve your husband well after a long day of work out there for the sake of your children. Not even angry not obviously rich gini!" Alvaro doesn't want to lose. Tiredness and a lot of thoughts with work make him unable to control emotions that he had never shown to his wife before.

"You're not afraid of the sweet attitude of women out there who often try to tempt me I finally responded just because of your attitude like this?"

Tiara looked surprised. Didn't expect the husband he had believed in could speak like that. It seems like a lot of women are better than him out there.

Not only Tiara, Alvaro himself was also shocked by what he said. There was really no intention to say anything like that. He never intended to cheat. It was purely because he was emotional.

After successfully mastering his surprise, again the discordant laughter was heard.

"So now you marry the same girl who easily sambek rich me? and now you're starting to think that bringing a woman out there is sweeter and better for you than a wife who is no longer attractive in your eyes? the wife of the two children you have now, yes?!" Tiara laughed again. Laughter that is increasingly sounding painful. Laughter that is now seasoned with tears that begin to shed.

"Bu-not that I mean yank." Alvaro looks sorry trying to reach his wife. Of course Tiara dodged right away.

"OUT!! Come out and find a woman more attractive than me!! out!!" Tiara pushed Alvaro's body, threw the clothes she was still holding and locked the door.

The woman sat behind the door. Squeezing a layered cloth on his chest. I wish the pain in his heart would disappear.

No matter how loud Alvaro's banging and screaming asked him to open the door. The sound that grew longer was getting weaker and louder.

This was their great quarrel after four years of household interweaving. A fight that left pain in the hearts of both. It was also a quarrel that made the little boy in the next room cry in fear hearing the screams of their father and mother.
