Husband's Regret: I'm Not a Little Child

Husband's Regret: I'm Not a Little Child
Rendi Akbar Maulana's


"Shodaqollohul'adzim." Abah closed his holy book.


Then the man who began to see wrinkles on the edge of the temples and gloved eyes turned his body, still sitting side by side. On a small table located on the carpet near the mihrab Abah, there is a warm orange wedang.


Umi also immediately shuffled to get it for Abah.


With his sturdy hands that began to wrinkle, Abah also grabbed the cup, starting with saying bismillah, Abah sipped a warm drink made by his wife.


Although in the mosque hut Abah already dzuhaan, has led pilgrims also fill the study. But Abah still perpetuates the tadarus routine at home, at least one juice with Ummi. Just two.


As long as Ummi does not stop, Ummi is always happy to join Abah. It was their precious time, teaching together in the midst of the busy Abah who often traveled invited to fill the study.


After completion, even for a while, Abah and Ummi still spent time together chatting before Abah went to attend an invitation to fill out a study in the neighboring district.


Abah and Ummi then moved from the mihrab where they worshiped, as usual sitting on the terrace of the garden behind the house overlooking the expanse of rice fields, there is a small river that Abah built the foundation and around it planted with flowers, also some green plants, including vine and mango rendi.


"Ummi had a dream last night, Bah!" ummi slowly.


"Dream the flowers are sleeping!"


"Yes. But Ummi hopes it's real! And it feels so real!" Ummi.


"Hmmm... What dream is it?"


"Ummi look there's a little grand here. He's so naughty... He likes to climb trees. In this tree. In Ummi's dream a tall tree up to the tile, a small akbar fell and cried very hard. It is very different from our Akbar who always harbors his cries and hides!" said Ummi Long with sparkling eyes happy to imagine having grandchildren.


Abah just sighed for a moment.


"Umi Kangen Akbar the most? Can't wait to have a grandchild?"


"Both!" answer Ummi.


"Have you met a while ago? The power calls too!" answer Abah.


"Yes, why is it? Kangen is natural. Ummi was also impatient to hear about Nila being pregnant!" say Ummi again.


"What yes? Mr Ardi and Ms Alya agree that Nila is soon pregnant and has children? Are they educated people and health people?" answer Abah.


"Haishis.. Abahs. Why even think that? I don't think about my own child. Akbar is old! Nila's Ummi's daughter, Bah. She agreed not to delay getting pregnant!" answer Ummi.


"Yes.. Hope so. But what's wrong with the college?" abah again.


"yeah... Thinking college. That's why. Later that's the birth. Ummi will bring Akbar's son. Ummi is caring. Let Nila go to college!" answer Ummi.


"Ummi want to leave Abah?" ask Abah again.


"Yes. Ummi bring it here,"


"Hush... Childhood wants to be separated from its mother. Yes, you can't!"


"Yes, Nila can go home every weekend. Today there are planes let spit!" ummi replied again very excited about the grandchild.


Abah then smiled.


"Mii.miii. That's their kid. Where might Akbar and Nila be. Don't have much of a wish. The sins!"


"Ck. Abba, Mah. Yeah who knows God and angels passing by. Ummi wants to ngasuh grandson. Aisha is the same in-laws!" answer Ummi again.


But then their chatter was cut off, as santri's footsteps were heard approaching. And sure enough, Abah's towers bowed slightly, greeting Abah and Ummi, telling the car and the driver was ready to take Abah to the study, where many worshippers were waiting for Abah's lecture.


Ummi was swiftly wake up and also put on a skullcap and Abah clothes.

"Aac. Yuck!" said Rendi thrust a spoonful of food into front of Nila's mouth.


The couple was lazing around, sitting on the floor carpet, leaning his body and head on the sofa.


"Udah, Mom. Only those who eat. Nila's not hungry!" nila replied pouting, still with shorts and messy hair, her face looked lethargic when she had taken a shower, because Rendi never let Nila sleep early and soundly.


"Reserve the cuisine!" answer Rendi.


"And from earlier. This feeling was also Nila who was abisin. I want to work!" answer Nila again


Yes, no wind no rain. Or maybe because since yesterday Nila has given her best service, Rendi is very eager to cook breakfast for herself and her wife, even though she only cook sausage stir-fry.


And this morning when she felt she had made the cooking. He also brought Nila together. Rendi who feeds Nila, many, until Nila is full and pouted.


"Yesia. You are also in college! Need nutrition for your brain to connect!" said Rendi.


Nila immediately throttled.


"Then I was in college. Nila wants to go to bed!" said Nila.


"Have you slept!" answer Rendi quickly.


"Don't pretend to forget. This morning I opened a class!" nila reminded me.


"What?" peekkik Nila instantly her eyes bulged


"Astaghitafirullah.!" instantly, Rendi immediately punched Nila's nose.


Nila was immediately dismissed pitting achy and tight.


"The eyes of the husband's own lecture until oblivion!" said Rendi


Yep. Today Rendi did share in her college eye group. He's having a google meet.


"He... Maafed. How to choose tumben Mas online? Where are you going?" asked Nila innocently.


"Let's be together with you!" answer Rendi.


"Huh?" peekik Nila chipped in annoyance


"Udah hunted! Open laptop!" said Rendi giving orders.


"Mas don't joke. We're one frame?" ask Nila again.


"Well, if you're not ashamed!"


"Yes ashamed!"


"Well, there are two laptops!" said Rendi reigns again


Even though she pursed her lips, Nila woke up to take the hijab. Turn on two laptops. While Rendi took the plates and glasses and cleaned them into the kitchen.


That morning, Rendi opened an online class on the grounds to her students she had an agenda. Even though in fact he sat next to Nila who was also a participant in the zoom.


Not happy, Nila grumbled, throughout the lecture. Because he was confused to listen to a laptop or look to the side. Not that Nila's focus was even dizzy, her voice was two plus Rendi's legs were very nosy. Want in the mute later Nila did not hear when Nila's friends asked and discussed. Moreover, Rendi there is a fad of throwing questions to Nila all.


Fortunately they use the background application so that other students do not know they are both close together. Nila also answered as if facing the laptop when the questioner was beside her.


The school runs for about 45 minutes. Google Meet Rendi is closed. Instantly, Nila immediately pinched her husband.


"Oh kesell..," protested Nila to Rendi.


Rendi chuckled very happily, even this time laughing her up wide.


"Next time in class!" answer Nila


"It's like this, right?"


"What son? It is good to meet friends in class. The sins lie to the children. Reasons for important work. There's outside work, there's an agenda. Huh. Fuck up!" nagging Nila manyun-manyun lotus Rendi.


"He didn't lie. Quality time is the same wife is also a basic task!" answer Rendi again.


"Haishis. It's gone there. At the level of the big brother is not online anymore, right?" tanya Nila half kicked out.


"Yes my. They're expelled!" ledek Rendi joked.


"It's not. Kan as Nila's wife must support Mas work well and properly so that our fortune is halted!" answer Nila


"Yesia. Mas depart. What will you ride? What's the way?"


"No need. Take a taxi online!" answer Nila again.


Rendi nodded, then prepared to leave. Nila drove her husband to the front door.


"Kabari Mas if you need to pick me up. If you want to take an online taxi, tell Mas continue well!" said Rendi rubbed the top of Nila's head and kissed her.


Nila nodded and let go of her husband's work until his car was not visible from her sight


Nila also went in to pamper herself to fall down briefly before noon lecture.30 minutes passed when Nila began to feel comfortable with her sleep, the senses of Nila's listeners caught the sound of the bell.


Nila who had just fallen asleep half-consciously made sure the bell was real or a dream. But it turned out to be true.


"Who the hell? Lady Siti is on holiday? What's Rendi doing back?" muttered Nila while wearing her hijab.


His chest was a little anxious glancing at the clock, afraid that it was already noon. But it turns out it hasn't


"Still at this hour? Ck. Like really stupid?" muttered Nila was sure her husband was odd.


With a sullen face, Nila opened the door.


But in that instant, Nila gulped her saliva in shock.


"Good Morning. Maam? Right with the residence of Mr Rendi Akbar Maulana?"
