Alana, the girl was sitting quietly in the car, watching the watch on her wrist, alternating with slightly jammed traffic.
"Quickly squeak sir." Alana patted the taxi driver's shoulder.
"Sabar Neng, stuck," said the driver.
Alana is getting more agitated, when she sees the clock showing at 21:00 it means that an hour ago Alvi was already at home.
He bit his fingernails, trying not to panic when he did not find his flat object in the bag. Then how will he contact Alvi?
The taxi driver who saw Alana's uneasiness, asked. "Why Neng?"
"My phone is missing sir" said the girl, continuing to pull out the contents of her bag.
"Neng wants to ngabarin a house guy?" ask the taxi driver again. Alana's age with her son, this hour has not come home is definitely in searchin. "Wear it" thrust the old-fashioned phone rectangular and a little thick on Alana.
"Thank you sir." Alana receives the old-fashioned phone with a smile, thankfully she meets good people.
He swiftly typed in some numbers that he memorized out of his head. First call, no answer. He did not give up on calling Alvi, until the 5th call Alvi replied.
"Who?"
"A." Yeah."
There is no silence from across the phone.
"It's me Alana." poked her lips though Alvi wouldn't see that.
"Where are you? whose cell phone is it? Aa call you from 5 o'clock but your phone is off. You're doing all right? don't make Aa worry about Al's gini."
"I'm not papa Aa, it's the way home but it's stuck. Sorry for worrying about Aa."
"Be careful."
"Yes dear."
Alvi smelled a smile at Alana's affectionate call, she put her phone on the nightstand, finally she could breathe a little. Since returning home from the office he kept calling Alana when he did not find his wife at home, but the girl's cell phone could not be contacted.
Alvi went back to check the gift she was going to give to Alana. The velvet box is red, and the box is blue. Fortunately, he was able to get the two gifts in time. Now he notices a special cake he ordered for Alana. No surprises, just gifts and cakes.
The gift is not as expensive as his father-in-law, but he is sure that his girl will be very happy. Just about to get up, the sound of vehicles stopping was heard, Alvi peeked out from the balcony. The smile on the thick lips of the man disappeared, now replaced with a sharp eye on two people in front of the fence. Alvi's jaw hardened, her hands tekepal saw Dirga holding her girl's hand.
The man went back into the room, grabbed 2 boxes on the table, a red velvet box he put into a drawer unattainable by anyone, the other he threw in the trash. It seemed like the surprise he prepared was of no use to Alana.
***
Alana, who had just gotten out of the taxi, undoes her intention to open the fence of the modest house, when someone calls her name, she turns her head and finds Dirga there.
"Why did you come here?"
"I just want to give you back your phone."
"Mobile phone.." Alana's voice choked, when Dirga grabbed her hand, then put a flat object on her tiny palm.
Alana hastily released the clutches of Dirga's hand afraid Alvi saw and misunderstood him.
"Thank you sir."
"I'm not forcing you Alana, don't act like this on me."
"I went in sir." said Alana ignoring the words of Dirga just now.
Slowly the girl opened the door of the house and found the house quiet and dark, instead of fearing Alana instead developed her smile, giggling amusedly.
"Surely I'd like to surprise you."
He kept going, but there was no sign of life. Because a little horrified he turned on the living room lamp.
"Where's surprise?" lirih Alana was a little disappointed.
After arriving at the 2nd floor, he opened the door of his room slowly, and found Alvi sitting leaning on the sofa with her arms crossed, no smile welcoming him, only a flat gaze. Alana still smiled.
"Assalamualaikum Aa." excited Alana, approached Alvi and kissed the back of the man's hand.
"Who's home?"
"Don't lie." Alvi's voice got colder.
"Seriously Aa."
Alana gawked at Alvi's response as she was about to hug him, the man immediately stood up as if avoiding his embrace. It's not usual for Alvi to behave like this to her. What's wrong? if the problem is late home, he has called Alvi and the man is also mediocre when on the phone.
"Awhy?"
"Aa's tired." said Alvi lay her body on the bed, sleeping on her back to Alana.
"Aren't you going to take me out to dinner?"
"Aren't you just coming home? not eating out?"
"I just went for a walk, didn't get to eat. Tonight I really want to have dinner with Aa, but if Aa is tired don't just sleep."
There is no silence from Alvi.
"So I was hoping for too much?" alana said no idea who.
She forgets that her husband is not a man at all. Alvi is very cold and insensitive, it is only natural that the man does not remember his special day.
After cleaning up, Alana lies down next to Alvi, facing the man who is now on her back.
"Why not eat?" alvi asked without changing her sleeping position.
"Tomorrow, all breakfast."
Alana's smile expands to see Alvi wake up, she knows very well, Alvi will not have the heart to make him hungry, what else he has gastric disease.
"Come on."
"Where?" Alana smelled a smile.
"You want to eat out, right?"
"She's tired."
"No!" sahut Alvi's.
"Go." cheered Alana punching the air so happy, she hurried down from the bed not forgetting to snatch her phone on the nightstand.
"Change clothes!"
Alana nodded, her appearance was okay, the upin-ipin nightgown she had just bought with Alvi during her monthly shopping. The best clothes he had, trousers and long sleeves.
"Eat it on the side of the road." pampered on Alvi's arm.
At Alana's request, they eat by the roadside, an atmosphere that is no stranger to Alvi after marrying a girl so-genesis model Alana. The girl never wanted to be invited to a fancy or expensive restaurant, the beautiful haired girl was more comfortable in a crowded and noisy place like this.
From then on they both became the center of attention of the other end, errat, not them but Alana a. Because the clothes that the girl was wearing was a little striking with a picture of a hairless kapala filling the front of her clothes.
"Gemoy ponakannya sir," said the mother-memak one of the customers at the stall.
"Mother is the one who has spoken gini a thousand times." kekeh Alana while glancing at Alvi.
"He's not my pondering." cold Alvi without glancing at the chatty mama. "He's my wife."
"Oh, his wife, sir."
"Mother...."
"Eat Al!" alvi orders, he is still angry at Alana, but does not have the heart to refuse the wishes of his girl.
"Yes, baby, patient napa."
