I refused Reza's request that afternoon. I'm afraid there's not enough time for the two of us, I'm afraid my kids are waking up and I can't bathe them too late.
"Later in the night, yes" I said. "All of us buy satay padang. It's been a while, lo, I've only eaten house food. I want to snack. Okay?"
He nodded, then kissed my forehead. "Anything for you, baby. Anything without exception."
"Thank you, Mum. You're the best."
Ah, it's so nice. He was understanding and willing to fulfill my request. It was also for the sake of his children. After Angga and Anggi suckled at night and they went back to sleep, we left. First look for satay padang, my favorite food.
"It's been a long time, huh, we don't go for a walk - quality time like this? When was the last try?"
I'm shaking. "Forgot, Mom. If it's not wrong last time it's time to the police station, before Mas Alfi and his family crash. If it's not wrong."
Reza seemed to remember, then nodded.
"By the way, how are they doing with the family? I haven't had any contact with Mayra in a long time, since we got back to Jakarta."
Reza glanced at me with a smile. "They're fine. Everything healthy. When I went to Bogor, I stopped by there."
"May, how? Is he...happy?"
Reza nodded. "I think very. I think he's as happy as he was now, his days he was dating Alfi."
Sure oes. Because he was not happy after marriage. Eat liver almost every day. "Thank God. I'm so happy. He deserves his happiness."
"Yep. She's a great girl, isn't she?" Reza glanced at me again with a meaningful smile. "Just like you," he said. "You're great, best wife."
I agree with that, but not completely. Mayra is great. He could be happy after all the household storms he managed to get through. While I, who I was facing was nothing compared to Mayra, but my desire to part with my husband had been in my mind many times.
"Mayra has an amazing heart. I salute. Not all women can be as good as him, that breaststroke. Especially when compared to me. That's a long way, Mom. Like the earth and the sky, right? Not at all the same."
Reza just smiled, then said, "All humans have their own character. No need to compare. You are basically a great woman too. And I love you."
"Not a zombie."
"Then?"
"That's a heartfelt statement of love from my heart."
Uuuh.. The zombies are getting worse.
"Well, there's satay padang. Want to get wrapped up or eat here?"
Hmm. "Wrap it, Mas. Just call the employee or he or she. Don't get out of the car, or I'll isolate you later. Wanna?"
Ew! He shook his head in response to my innocence, but he wouldn't argue. So, through the window of the car he called the father satay.
"Sate, Sir?" tanyakanya.
"Yes" said Reza. "Order ten servings."
"Huh? Ten?" I'm gawking.
"Why?"
"Mostly, Mum...."
Reza smiled as the satay man passed by. "Not really," he said later. "I and Ihsan are two servings each. Mother of one serving, Mbok Tin one serving. You are three equal portions of children. Take responsibility if you buy nine. So. you get another bonus. Fun, right?"
Whoa... whoa.
Ckck!
Husband messu*!
