"So you told me that tonight I didn't go home because there was work to be done in the office. Didn't Mr Mahes call Mom?"
Arumi smiled bitterly, then threw a glance in the other direction. "No. Maybe he was too busy to forget to call me."
Then the woman entered the house with mixed feelings. Arumi began to be overwhelmed with anxiety about Mahesa's attitude. This was the first time the man had gone overtime without telling his wife first. Usually he will go home on time even though the work in the office piles up.
'Did I say wrong? Kok Bu Arumi's attitude changed, ' Inner Mbak Tini.
Arumi was in the room. The room was in complete darkness with no lighting at all. Carefully the woman approached the light switch and in one press the dark room became brightly lit.
He threw his shoes and bag at any place, then threw his body on the soft mattress in the room. The woman took a rough breath and reached into the mobile phone from the pocket of the skirt.
[Mas, where are you? Tumben didn't ask me for permission before overtime. Is your company in trouble?]
After the message is sent, Arumi gets out of bed and performs the ritual the night before going to bed.
That night for the first time Arumi was lying on a soft bed alone without the caresses and hugs of her beloved husband.

The next day, after fulfilling her religious duties, Arumi rushed downstairs. That day he helped Ma'am Tini prepare breakfast.
"Later noon just left. It just so happened last night there was an operation so me and the team were given a longer time to rest at home." With deft Arumi cultivate the cuisine.
Although she was rarely seen cooking in the kitchen but the woman's proficiency in processing food was beyond doubt. Little Arumi learned a lot from the mother because Nyimas has a business in the culinary field. Not infrequently every time the adoptive mother of Arumi berjibaku with cooking utensils, this spicy food lover beautiful virgin participated in helping Nyimas in the kitchen.
"Let me, Mom. It's better to sit on the couch reading a magazine or watching the news than in the kitchen. Mom's hand will be hurt. If injured can't operate on the patient." Tini's mother tried to remind Arumi.
"I'll just help, Ma'am. This food is a favorite of Mas Mahes. So, let me make him some special food." A friendly smile rose on Arumi's lips. Without a doubt the woman sauteed all the herbs, vegetables and other complementary ingredients and mixed them into one in a pan.
"Mbak Tini' will know, last night Mas Mahes overtime. Therefore I decided to cook his own favorite menu because he must be tired of having to struggle with piles of paper and reports that accumulate on the table. All of you make a surprise for your beloved husband, no problem, right?" Arumi Timpal.
Ma'am Tini smiled, seeing happiness still enveloping the little family. Although the house is still quiet because there is no presence of a child that will be a lamp for both parents but with the love and affection between the couple, women who work as assistants at Mahesa's house are sure someday the family's happiness will be complete as long as they are patient, keep trying and always think well of the Creator.
"It doesn't matter, Mom. In fact, it will be a field of worship for the mother later because it is happy for the husband. Insha Allah heaven in return."
"Aamiinu. Thank you, Ma'am."
