Give me back my husband's smile
CHAPTER 30: The Attention of a Husband

The star set foot on the porch of the house, he just returned from campus after consulting with his thesis supervisor. He rubbed his dizzy head, though, honestly, since pregnant Bintang feel easily tired when doing activities let alone take care of the final task that requires Bintang back and forth to campus from morning to evening just to meet the lecturer who sometimes not on time as promised. The woman scrunched her forehead when entering the house looked lonely, where is her husband?

The star went up the stairs to Alvaro's room. “Kak Al.” The woman called out loudly, hoping that her husband would respond. “Sister! Brother Al.” The star let out its hunting breath, he was a little annoyed to find this big house empty.

He was simply not used to living a household life like this. Usually if the house of his father every return to the house of the Star is always warmly welcomed by his mother, even when hungry food is directly available at the table. Unlike now she has to do anything independently, fortunately she is good at cooking than her brother. At least compared to the Moon she has more ability as a wife.

Slowly entering the room, sitting for a moment on the edge of the bed while staring at the screen of his phone hoping Alvaro left a message. But nihil, not a single notification of whatsapp that came in whereas before Alvaro almost every day to update him if he came home late. Last night Alvaro said that today she only had a morning meeting with a client after which she would be home soon, but until late in the evening her husband had not yet arrived home. Strange, if he works overtime should tell the stars so that he does not worry.

The star stood up, she headed for the dresser staring at the reflection of her dull face because she had not yet taken a shower. He took some cotton, wet it with a make-up remover to clean his oily face. After he finished throwing the cotton marks on the trash can, but his eyes were fixed on a blue map that was set ablaze in the garbage can. The star yesterday saw the map was once taken by her husband, she was curious what it contained.

His gaze was fixed on a crumpled lump of paper that seemed to be deliberately squeezed strong by someone, then he picked it up and opened the lump of paper to read it. Fortunately it has not been torn, the eyes of the Star broke when the paper stated that the brother filed a divorce lawsuit against Alvaro. The woman immediately smiled, finally her brother wanted to part with Alvaro.

But why did Al throw this paper away? He should have signed his divorce papers immediately so that they could be processed immediately. The inner star frowned in wonder, not knowing what was on her husband's mind.

Bintang's goal was to hear the roar of the car, he opened the balcony window curtain to peek. A black BMW enters the courtyard of the house, knowing that her beloved husband has returned home with a beaming face of the Stars coming out of the room. In his hand the Star grasped the paper he had found earlier in the room, he wanted to ask Alvaro why he threw away this important letter. With a quick step he went down the stairs, but his steps stopped immediately when he found Alvaro coming along with the Moon who was in the young man's arms. Moon actually does not want to be spoiled carried like this by Alvaro, he is strong his own way but Alvaro kekeuh want to deliver him to the room by carrying himself. Not wanting to argue, the Moon finally said, she put her hand on her husband's neck so as not to fall. He knew that the current Star must have been holding back from seeing him.

"Sister Al ye-." Alvaro did not understand the existence of the Star, he walked into the room of the Moon laid the woman's body on the bed. The star clenched both hands, he was angry that apparently the Moon had stolen Alvaro's attention from him.

"I'll take porridge in the kitchen for you Moon." Alvaro said as he rubbed the Moon's head gently, treated with sweetness like this The Moon was just silent. He's a little confused, what's up with Alvaro today? Perhaps she felt guilty that she almost miscarried because of Alvaro's anarchist actions.

The young man came out from the Moon room, he passed the Star that was still pecking on the spot. "Sir Al." Calling the Stars with a roaring chest made Alvaro turn his head to look closely at his second wife.

"What's Bi?" Tanya Alvaro frowned.

"I want to ask you a question."

"You better help me make porridge for the Moon, she's sick." The star gasped to hear him, he had not even finished talking but Alvaro instead cut off his speech.

Make porridge for her brother? Cih, the stars are not. Besides why is Alvaro being so nice with that son of a bitch? The star finally chose to hide the paper that was in his grasp behind his back. He felt that this was not the right time to ask Alvaro.

"If there's nothing you want to talk about, I'm kitcheny first." Alvaro sternly walked away leaving the Star with a sour face. The woman stepped into the Moon room staring fiercely at her brother in a weak state on the bed.

"I was wrong to underestimate you, brother." The words of the Star suddenly made the Moon who was sitting leaning on the bedpost immediately turn her head. "Your acting is great, you pretended to be sick to get attention from Brother Al."

The moon that heard the unqualified ravings from her sister could only be silent, lazy to respond. Let the dog bark, he who is sane chooses to remain calm.

"I am very tired of you, brother, begging for love from brother Alvaro. As a woman you have no pride, all your devious plans will be in vain because Alvaro loves me only." Hearing the words from his sister, Moon only smiled cynically. He did not care about the insults that the Star had thrown at him. It should be that the star has snatched away someone else's husband and even got pregnant out of wedlock.

"So, are you deaf!" The Star snapped at the end of the day started to ignite emotions as it felt the Moon had ignored it. "Your brother really makes me angry" The woman will already throw her hand up to want to hit her brother, while the Moon can only resign because her body is still weak to just defend herself. But before his hand touched his brother, Alvaro came into the room carrying a bowl of porridge.

"I-I'm going to the room to take a shower." Said the star as he walked out of his brother's room.

The moon closed her eyes, and again she cried. Lately the Moon became easily sad if there was someone who hurt her, immediately she rubbed the tears on her cheeks. She did not want to look crybaby in front of Alvaro, if the Moon was weak she would definitely be trampled by her husband and also her sister.

Alvaro sat on the bedside, staring at the Moon with sharp eyes. "You crying?" Ask while stroking the mane of the Moon's hair. "Don't be sad for the Moon, I promise I won't be rude to you again if you become the submissive woman you used to be." His word.

Will he just be a living puppet to Alvaro and his Mama. All this time his life was arranged by his mother, and now he had to obey Alvaro's orders. The heart and mind of the Moon are tired, it feels like waiting for a new child in the womb to be born so long. He wants to be free of Alvaro's shackles immediately.

"Open your mouth, I'll bribe you." Said Alvaro holding out a spoonful of his homemade porridge. "Hopefully it tastes good, I haven't cooked porridge in a long time."

Moon was surprised to hear that, why did Alvaro bother to make him porridge? The Moon Oath was further confused by Alvaro's concern. Please don't be like this, the Moon's heart is easy to melt if treated well by someone.

"I'll eat myself." The moon wanted to take a bowl of porridge from Alvaro's hand, but the young man was reluctant to give it.

"Let me bribe you." Alvaro said in a soft nod by the Moon.

Alvaro painstakingly fed his wife, if I may be honest Alvaro's porridge tastes very good. Alvaro smiled to see the Moon greedily eat his artificial porridge until without feeling the food in the bowl run out.

Alvaro took the vitamins given by Sinta's doctor. "Here drink." He said as he held out vitamins in the form of kapul along with water to the Moon.

The woman shook her head. "I don't want Al, it tastes bitter."

Alvaro tried to be patient. "It's just the Moon's vitamins, not too bitter. Your gynecologist said very weak, if you do not take vitamins regularly will have a bad effect on your content." As much as possible Alvaro will memastika Moon take this vitamin with a routine.

The Moon's flickering hand stretched out across her stomach, she blamed herself for being so selfish. It's a shame you have to grow up healthy in there huh, forgive your weak mama is not good at looking after you. Inner Moon is upset because her child is affected by the problems that always suppress her life.

The moon took its vitamins and immediately downed the capsule, ignoring the bitter taste inherent in the tongue.

Alvaro is happy that Moon is back to being a submissive woman, if he does not act, Alvaro will also be gentle to his wife. "Now rest." Again the Moon nodded obediently, she lay on the bed. Alvaro covered the Moon's body to keep it warm, before going out of the Moon's room the young man took the time to kiss his wife's forehead.

"If you need anything, just call me Moon." Alvaro said with a sweet smile, then the young man walked out leaving his wife in the room.

It felt as if the chest of the Moon was pounding, Alvaro's smile again luring his heart. Please don't cultivate this affection towards Al, if it's like this then I'll have a hard time leaving you.

Seriate...
