..."Your heart is like the ocean, mysterious and dark"...
The man stared at the door that was in front of him. Repeatedly Gus Bima swallowed a rough saliva. Occasionally his net glances from the angle of his attention the state of the girl who is now leaning on the Koran in her right hand.
"Oh my God, how is this. Just this time I was hesitant to meet Aida. Before that I was really looking forward to spending some time with Aida." Gus Bima let out a long sigh and lowered his lethargy.
"Why not go in?" Gus Bima flinched at once in shock. The palm of the hand that patted his shoulder made his heart almost fall out. The man slowly looked back with a breath that was still restrained. The net is a little perfectly rounded.
"You why? Why is your face so pale? Like the one who's seen a ghost." Ustaz Nur squinted his eyes next to his son's suddenly deathly pale face. Ah, what benat said. Gus Bima was like seeing a ghost. A few seconds later, Gus Bima let out a long breath. Thinking too much about Aida made Gus Bima dazed. He's getting embarrassed.
"Let's go in." Ustaz Nur grabbed the palm of his son and brought him inside. It seemed like the man knew the intent in his son's heart. No. gabe. Don't first. Ah, how is this? The man did not have time to break the abi's palm. Really, he's not ready.
"But Abi ...." The man did not continue his sentence. He just let it hang. The movement of his ashes was very fast, no one minute made Gus Bima difficult to dodge. All right, how else. Maybe this is better. It is better that he go in and face his wife like a man out there. Was he not ashamed to look so cute?
Mushaf Aida came to a halt, the girl slightly glanced at the source of the voice. Yes, the only beak man who was still grasping his son's wrist came in while saying his regards. The girl took the horses by justifying her sitting position. This time she did not have a scary face, but a friendly and beautiful smile from the curves of her sweet lips welcomed her husband's arrival. Is this just his alibi because he entered with Ustaz Nur? It's better that way. Gus Bima could not eliminate the suudzon embedded in his mind. Ah, let. Right now the most important thing is to devise strategies and words, who knows the girl will question him anytime anywhere. Does anyone agree with Gus Bima's plan?
"Is it okay, son?" Aida smiled as she nodded. The middle-aged man who was none other than his father-in-law was chanting hamdalah.
"Astaghfirullah, abi forgot. Abi wanted to go out and eat for Umi first, Bima. Abi forgot not to buy." After a long silence, fused with silence finally Ustaz Nur melted the atmosphere.
"Let's be Bima, Abi. Abi must be tired from going back and forth to the hospital boarding school." Lies. The man actually wanted to run away from his wife's bullying gaze. Gus Bima wants to escape in order to survive Aida. Right no?
Seeing Gus Bima who always dodged since a few hours ago made Aida cluck annoyed. The girl rolled her eyeballs away as her eyebrows fused together. The middle-aged man chuckled softly at the behavior of his son-in-law and son. It's always like this, as if they can't mature in the face of domestic problems.
"Here you go, let abi. You're here with Aida. Look ... His lips are already manyuning. Sin makes wife angry Bima." Ah, the middle-aged man teased Gus Bima again. After patting his shoulder softly, Ustaz Nur passed away leaving the two of them awkwardly together.
Silent. No conversation had lit up the mood that day. Gus Bima approached and sat on the bed, next to Aida. The man repeatedly looked at his wife's face for a moment then lowered his gaze. Like the first time they were laid. Shameful, but will.
"The food has arrived." The man tried to melt the atmosphere. Her lips felt confused making her shake. Now his fingers squeeze into each other's interlocked. Ah, why did the man do the same thing that Aida often does?
"Boat!" Gus Bima looked up.
The bead caught a girl whose hands were folded in front of her chest, turning her face away. Just like a child who has been scolded by his mother. He laughed and pinched his wife's cheek. His behavior must be all-around.
"Don't, Bima laughed." No. gabe. Aida caught the wet action of Gus Bima who was secretly smiling. The girl whined by gently hitting the thick blanket that covered part of her body.
"Ti-no, Humaira. Sa-I didn't mean to laugh at you. I'm just happy that my little wife has been gradually improving." Quiescent. The girl did not heed her husband's rebuttal.
Gus Bima stretched his palm and took a deep breath, after which exhaled it slowly. "Why is she angry? I've made a mistake ‘kah?" The man took Aida into his arms. Yes, he decided to approach his wife.
The girl still did not flinch. However, a second later he was stunned in the arms of Gus Bima. Both of her hands tightly hugged her husband. That special smell? Aida again sniffed the perfume that was attached to Gus Bima's shirt. He missed, really missed. He had not done this strange habit for a long time.
"Aida's crying? Why Honey?" Gus Bima broke his embrace for a moment. He brought his wife's body to stare at her net. Some of her cheeks were filled with clear liquid. I don't know what makes Aida cry, but it's enough to make Aida sob.
"Mas Bima dodged continued to be the same Aida. Aida has long been waiting for the arrival of Mas Bima." He slightly hit Gus Bima soft chest. Divine, he did not know if his decision to avoid Aida was a mistake. He did not expect that Aida would cry like this.
"Sorry, Aida. I don't mean to shy away from you, but ...." The words hang back. The man didn't continue it.
"Mas promise not to leave Aida again? Aida's afraid of being alone." Aida thrusts her little finger at Gus Bima. The man stared long enough Aida's ayu face. Aida's fingers were still floating in the air. Their attention clashed with each other for a long time, but a few seconds later Gus Bima decided unilaterally. His fingers also lifted, then did something similar.
"The Promise will never leave you." Aida smiled at the words coming out directly from her husband's lips.
"Until when are we staring at each other like this? Aida's hungry Mas," Gus Bima's daydream broke. Ah, yes, the man forgot his wife who had not eaten. Gus Bima smiled awkwardly while taking the long-standing dining place on the table. It looks like it's cold.
"Aida has to eat a lot to get home quickly. How, agreed?" Aida heaved a heavy sigh and put on a hardened face. His wistful gaze led to that bland white porridge.
A vapor of porridge floated up and landed right in front of Aida's mouth. However, the girl did not open her mouth. His head shook slightly and his face changed instantly. At the same second, Aida covered her mouth with both palms.
"Kok closed his mouth? He said he was hungry." Gus Bima dropped his hand. Aida still shook her head quickly. No. gabe. He did not want to eat the picture. Right now he is eager to eat seblak and mercon meatballs. Definitely delicious. Just imagining it made Aida's saliva pool in her mouth.
"No way." He refused, laying his body to the side. Just like a child who refuses a bribe from his mother. Gus Bima repeatedly persuaded his wife to eat even if only a spoonful. However, nil. The girl refused again.
"Yes, if Aida doesn't want to eat porridge. What does Aida want to eat?" The man asked very gently. Right now he should be gentle on Aida. Isn't it always like this? Patient and gentle in all manner.
Aida released the palm that covered her mouth. The girl got back up. "Aida wants rice Umi, Mas Bima. Aida would love to eat a cloth made by Mother."
"Huh?" Gus Bima rounded his eyes perfectly. How not to be surprised, his desire exceeds that of a woman who is cravings only. Doesn't he realize that he is currently being treated in the hospital and doctors forbid him to eat spicy and acidic foods.
"Mas Bima .... He slightly shook the arm of Gus Bima.
"Unfortunately me. Not first yes, you ‘kan now still can not eat strange. Later if it is healed I promise to buy my wife whatever you want. Now eat porridge first, yes."
"It's not weird, Mom. That's seblak, food. Aida wants to eat right now. Point." Allah akbar. He knew that seblak was food, but that was not what Gus Bima meant. The man patted his eel slowly, in the same minute the man massaged his temple. Ah, looks like Aida's healed. The girl could already make her head tingle again.
"Yes, Honey. Mas know, but ‘kan doctor told Aida fasting not to eat spicy and sour foods first. So, let's get well soon." Gus Bima stroked the top of Aida's head, it was exactly the same as what his mother used to do.
"Ah Mas Bima is not cool." The girl dodged and then her hand brushed against her husband's palm.
"Mas Bima does not love Aida anymore. Mas Bima seems to be dumping Aida, just like men do in general." The girl drowned her entire body in a thick blanket. The girl slightly curled up in a trembling voice. Gus Bima cast an istighfar in his heart.
"Yes, then Aida's just going on a hunger strike." Gus Bima turned his head quickly towards Aida. The man got up while putting back the dining area and sitting on the available chair.
"Why doesn't Aida want to eat hospital food? ‘Kan yummy." The man stroked the top of his wife's head covered in a blanket.
"Say, every free meal is delicious." He again continued by raising his eyebrows even though Gus Bina knew Aida could not see him.
"Aida is treated here also pay, Mas. Automatically the food that Aida eats is not free, so it is not tasty. The vegetables are just that. Carrot chickpeas continue. The fruit is also a week full of just bananas. Aida's gonna be bored." Aida kept saying even though it sounded like people were gargling.
"Oh so Aida wants to eat fruits other than bananas? I will buy it, but Aida eats porridge first, yes. Delicious porridge, I'm just doyan." Aida slightly peeked out from the slit of the thick blanket. When the action was caught by Gus Bima, he immediately drowned his face again.
"Yes, if Mas Bima was overjoyed, mending Mas ate aja rather than redundant. He said, God does not like people who waste food. Such a man is a friend of the devil." True what Gus Bima said, his wife is now healed. The girl was already fluent in bragging and nagging.
"Loh, means Aida's friend demon dong?" The man heard the words lirih yabg spoken from Aida's sweet lips. He chuckles, too long being in the hospital can have an impact on Aida's mental health.
"God, my wife is very wise. If you don't want to be a friend of the devil, the porridge is eaten dear dong." He again scooped a mouthful of porridge for Aida.
"It feels tasteless, not delicious. The soup also only tastes slightly salty, tempeh and tofu puree decoction without added salt or soy sauce." Gus Bima chuckled. He knew what Aida was feeling. A week more of hospital cooking is enough to make him tormented. Moreover, he knew that Aida hated soft foods, especially porridge. Are there any of you who don't like porridge as much as Aida?
"I understand, but it is not good to refuse sustenance even to say so. Did Aida know, there are many people out there who lack food. The proof, when they got leftover food, they did not complain like Aida. Instead, they are very grateful for enjoying what God has given them. My wife lost to them."
Aida slowly opened the blanket that covered her entire body. Aida tried to digest word by word that expressed Gus Bima. Not long after, the girl finally collapsed with a message delivered by Gus Bima. After a bit of calm, Aida heeded Gus Bima's offer. The man returned to take a tray of food and offered Aida a mouthful of porridge. At first the girl was silent, dead lice. However, his lips greeted the spoon with a slight reluctance while closing his eyes.
It's okay Aida. Just imagine that you are currently eating rice.
"My little wife, if she knows how beautiful she is Allah. His wife just lost the other." Aida blushed shyly. Ah, that man indeed never failed to make his cheeks blush.
"Mas Bima likes to brag. Why didn't Mas Bima tell Aida that she was being treated at the same hospital?" Telak. The man suddenly choked on his saliva and made him cough. She did not expect the question to finally come out. Aida's memory is very good.
One question could put his life on the brink of death.
