Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
The arrival of Candidate Besan

The sound of chicken was heard again. The chirping of sparrows perched on tree branches also enliven the atmosphere in the morning. The Surya still faithfully illuminates the earth so that all people in any part of the world can enjoy its beauty.

That morning, Arumi and Nyimas were busy taking care of the three plump babies who were gaining weight every day. How not, Triplet, the name for the twins of Arumi and Rayyan couple is very greedy every time the mother gives breast milk to them. Moreover, Arumi gives exclusive breast milk without the help of formula or other complementary foods before the age of six months, making Ghani, Zavier and Zahira look healthier, stronger and very adorable. Fortunately, the breast milk that Arumi has is abundant so it does not make the woman difficult when giving milk to her three children.

Arumi's housekeeper took a long step towards the nursery. He knocked on the door before entering the room. "Excuse me, ma'am, up ahead is Miss Rini and the kids. He said he had permission from the doctor if they wanted to visit here" said the woman politely.

Arumi muttered softly, "Tumben once he came this early. I'm sure, Aunt Rempong must have come here on purpose because she wanted to hitch a ride to breakfast."

Nyimas chuckled softly. "Leave it. Maybe he misses breakfast with us. After all, Rini hasn't come to see you in a long time, has she? Since the birth of the third child, you've been busy taking care of the little one."

The beautiful wife Rayyan let out a rough sigh. "Yes, Ma. We have rarely met. In fact, during the children's show, I did not come to Rini's house, and vice versa. Lucky Mas Rayyan can represent me so the incident a few months ago did not happen again." He laughed amusedly when remembering the event of the four-monthly pregnancy of the twins.

Nyimas put on a smile, pulling both corners of the lips up to form an arc-like arch. "Yes, I remember that incident. The hormones of pregnant women are different for everyone."

Not wanting to make her best friend wait too long, Arumi again said, "Take Rini wait a while. Prepare drinks and snacks for my two nephews. Also put mango pudding and cake that Mas Rayyan bought last night. Beautiful and good would love it."

"Good, Mom. Then, excuse me first." Ma'am Tini resigned and left the nursery.

After his three children appear neatly dressed in romper with different colors and motifs, Arumi brought the plump body of Triplet into the stroller. The mother of three babies stepped gracefully into the living room.

"Rumi County!" beautiful and Nice almost at the same time. The two twins Rini rushed to welcome Arumi. They hugged their beloved aunt so tightly.

The affection is so sincere to Beautiful and Nice, making Arumi is always the first number for the twins even though there is now a Triplet but their attention is still focused on the friend of the mother.

Arumi kissed the top of the head Beautiful and Nice alternately. Both hands were still outstretched, returning the twins' embrace. "Hello, Honey. You two how are you? Aunty kangen really."

"It is also very good to miss Aunty Rumi," said Indah. The eldest increasingly tightened his embrace as if he was afraid if his favorite aunt left just like that.

The youngest Good did not want to lose, he also said, "Good more kangen same Aunty Rumi, loh, than Beautiful."

Nyimas smiled when he saw the scene in front of him. Both of Rini's children from a long time ago were very fond of Arumi and even considered her adopted child like a second mother.

Rini got up from the chair and approached Nyimas. Stretching your hands forward, kissing the back of the hand of the foster mother of the friend. "Hello, Auntie, how are you? I'm sorry, I haven't had time to visit Aunt again after giving birth to Shaka."

Gently Nyimas answered, "Alhamdulillah. Healthy Aunt news. No problem, son. Importantly, the state of you and Dedek Shaka healthy walafiat, it has made Aunt's heart happy."

The hug between Arumi and Beautiful and Nice unravels, Rini turns to approach the friend. "I'm so sorry for your father-in-law's passing, Rumi. Sorry, the funeral couldn't be there." The woman's fingers rubbed the friend's back.

Arumi closed her eyes when she was in Rini's arms. "Thank you, Rini. No need to apologize, because I know you must bother taking care of Shaka. Rio has already conveyed your apologies to Mas Rayyan and Raihan."

"Diehan! Raihan, your sister-in-law? Rayyan's pervious enemy?" ask Rini full of questions.

Nyimas looked at the child and his son's friend. Hearing the two young women speak, he guessed that there would seem to be a serious conversation between the two. Grandma Triplet interrupted. "Rumi, you better take Rini to the balcony. Kids, let Mama, Mama Tini and Mbak Sari take care."

Without a second thought, Arumi took Rini to the balcony. When he arrived at the balcony, he and his friend sat next to each other in a rattan chair while looking at the beauty of the garden from the seventh floor of the apartment.

"Rumi, has the departure of Doctor Firdaus made your husband and sister-in-law better? Has the relationship between the two men started to improve?"

Arumi took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "If only I were, I might be the first person who would be so happy to see my husband and sister-in-law make up. However, in fact, the relationship between Mas Rayyan and Raihan is still the same as before. Although Raihan has apologized and Mas Rayyan has forgiven, but they still can not be together like brothers out there."

Rini pulled the rattan chair she was sitting on close to Arumi's chair until the sound of an object being shifted by someone. "I apologize for what? How did I become curious about all the events that happened to your handsome husband. Tell me, what's really going on!" Instantly the look on Arumi's best friend's face turned serious. Several months did not meet, apparently a lot of events unknown to the woman.

Rio also never told about what happened to Rayyan. Her husband was principled not to tell anyone if it was not from Rayyan's own side who told her. So do not be surprised if now Rini turned into an impromptu journalist who was busy hunting news about the story of the husband of the friend. The figure of the man he once asked for help to grant his cravings that seemed very excessive.

"So, all this time the late Papa Firdaus and Aunt Lena never told Raihan why until my husband hated Aunt Lena so much that for a dozen years he lived in hatred of his own brother. It was all due to the absence of honesty in the late Papa and Aunt Lena."

"When everything was revealed, Raihan realized his mistake and apologized to Mas Rayyan. My husband has forgiven Raihan's mistakes, but to be a sister like a sibling in general, he can't. In fact, ask Raihan and Aunt Lena away, never again show her nose in front of us," Arumi said at length, telling all the information obtained from her beloved husband.

Rayyan never hid anything from Arumi, including the moment where Raihan apologized to the eldest son of Paradise. He told it all to his beloved wife. The oriental-faced man did not want a single secret hidden from his partner.

Rini confirmed her sitting position. The woman's eyes looked up at the sky. "I too if I were Rayyan would have done the same. Whenever I see someone who is closely related to my past, the pain must be there even though we have tried to forgive. Better to stay away than the wound never dries for life."

"By moving away, who knows slowly the wounds incised by Aunt Lena into Rayyan's heart gradually dried up and the relationship between them improved. We never know what will happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" He turned to look at Arumi with an intimidating look, as if looking for justification for his words just now.

Arumi nodded her head in response. "really. I don't want to force Mas Rayyan to accept Raihan as part of our family. Let him think for himself what is best for him. After all, he is already an adult and has already become the father of my three children. I don't want my house destroyed for my own ego."

"If I could go to Rio at will to claim my partner's divorce, but not this time. Other than that there were three crucibles present in the middle of my marriage, the fear of losing Mas Rayyan made me think twice about using your husband's services. I don't want to be a widow a second time. Don't want my kids to be victims of the selfishness of both parents."

Rini smiled broadly at the response of her best friend. Patting Arumi gently on the shoulder as she said, "I'm sure, your soul mate with Rayyan till Jannah, Rumi. Trust me, you two were indeed created to complement each other, treat each other's wounds. Insha Allah, until the next heaven, you and he live happily ever after."

Instantly Arumi's beautiful eyeballs began to glaze over. He was touched by every word Rini said. The woman who works as a psychiatrist can always entertain when she is hit by problems.

"Aamiinu. Thank you very much, Bestie. I'm lucky to have a friend like you."

Not much to say, Rini stretched out into two hands to the side. Gave a signal to Arumi to scatter in an embrace. "That's what friends are for. What's more, you're my candidate so I should cheer you up." Shaka's biological mother giggles at the thought of her youngest child hanging out at the promenade with Zahira.
