Tonight Ferdi's heart felt very anxious. I don't know why he was afraid of something. He also did not understand what made him like that. Until his eyes closed by themselves.
A while later, after he had fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly a cold sweat drenched his forehead and temples. Still in the position of closing his eyes, Ferdi had a frightened face and frowned while turning his head left and right for several times. In his sleep he felt threatened until he delirious in his sleep.
“No... no.. Not me. Don't..!” exclaim Ferdi in his sleep.
Actually, from now on Velicia still could not sleep, she just pretended to close her eyes. Now she really opened her eyes when she heard her husband cry out in fear.
“Mas... Mas... What's wrong? Build Mas!” yelled Velicia while moving her husband's body to wake up.
Ferdi's eyes opened. With a breath he looked at his wife's face. After a few seconds, he said,
“I dream. It looks like I'm back on a slump like when my dad left Mom and me. I was blamed by many. And now I'm back to blame.”
Velicia sighed as she felt sorry for her husband. But he can't do anything.
Her heart was frozen for her husband. And he feels like he's been the bad guy for now. Become a bad woman for her husband for betraying her and become an evil woman who hurts the man she loves by lying to him.
Actually, she had no intention at all to avenge her husband's affair. It's just that she accidentally got her happiness when she was hurt because of her husband's affair.
He also had no intention at all to lie to the man who loved him. He only felt that he had to step down because the man was the husband of his friend.
Who wants to leave happiness? Just like Velicia who did not want to let go of that happiness. Moreover, happiness was obtained as a remedy for sadness and pain of his heart.
Velicia got out of her bed and walked out of her room. It made Ferdi feel strange and sad.
In such circumstances he is eager to get the attention and affection of his wife. It was very desirable for him to be embraced and given tranquility by his wife. Unfortunately, this time he did not get it.
A few minutes later, Velicia returned to her room with a glass filled with water.
“This Mas, drink,” said Velicia while giving the glass containing water to Ferdi.
Ferdi looked at his wife and was stunned to the point that he did not receive the glass Velicia had given him.
“Minum this, so that Mas Ferdi can be calmer,” Velicia said back as if to resuscitate her husband from his usefulness.
Just contact Ferdi to his senses and receive the glass from Velicia's hand while saying,
“Thank you.”
Velicia nodded without smiling at her husband. Then she returned to her bed and laid her body in the same position as before, turning her back to her husband.
Ferdi was disappointed that his wife had turned her back on him. After drinking the drink, he placed the glass on a table near his bed.
He tried to go back to sleep in the same position, with his back to his wife. And finally they sleep in the position of each other's backs.
Moments later, Ferdi felt unable to sleep. He faced his wife, trying to get her to face him.
Slowly Ferdi's hand touched his wife's shoulder. Velicia's eyes opened as she felt that someone was holding her shoulder. Instantly, he raised his shoulders as if he was resisting the touch.
Ferdi again felt disappointed because his wife refused his touch. But he couldn't do anything about it because he didn't want his wife to get back mad at him.
“Sorry,” Velicia said as she closed her eyes and bit her lower lip.
“No. No need to apologize. I should have apologized to you because I often refused your invitation during your fertile years. And now I know what it's like to be rejected when I'm gonna ask you to do it.
Velicia silence. She did not know what to say to her husband. Because honestly, if now he feels a broken heart so it feels very torturous and feels suffering.
Feeling his wife did not respond, Ferdi turned his back to his wife. I don't know why his feelings are so different. He was worried about something he didn't know.
Even in the morning say hello. As usual Velicia immediately woke up from her sleep to get ready to go to work and prepare breakfast for them.
“Mother, when did Mom come?” velicia asked in shock when she saw that her mother-in-law was already in the kitchen busy cooking.
Anisa ma'am turned towards her and smiled at her. Then he walked over to Velicia who was holding up a glass on the dispenser to grab a warm drink.
“Where was last night?” ms. Anisa asked Velicia who was drinking her drink.
Velicia scrunched her forehead hearing a question from her mother-in-law. After he sipped his drink, he said,
“What happened last night Bu?”
“Overnight by the time Mom arrived, Mom was told to go home quickly by Ferdi. He is afraid that I am disturbing you who will do the process of planting seeds,” said Bu Anisa Lirih while chuckling.
Velicia choked on a drink when she returned to drink. She did not expect that her husband would do such a thing. He lied to his mother to drive her away from staying at their house.
Miss Anisa immediately rubbed Velicia's back to ease the pain of choking. Then he said,
“Pelan-pelan drinking Ve. I didn't ask,”ucap Bu Anisa while chuckling.
Sorry Mom, Ve can't do it now. Ve's heart doesn't want it for now, Velicia said inwardly while smiling at her mother-in-law.
“Sit there, the cooking will be finished soon,” said Bu Anisa while walking back to the kitchen.
Velicia helped her mother-in-law prepare their cutlery on the dining table. After all the dishes were ready on the dining table, Ferdi came out of his room wearing his work clothes.
“Oh yes, you haven't made your husband Ve coffee? Usually the first time you prepare is coffee to bring your husband to work,” asked Bu Anisa to Velicia who was scooping the fried rice she would eat.
At once Ferdi's body stiffened. He feels threatened. He was afraid that his wife would tell his mother about coffee.
Velicia smiled wryly at the question from her mother. While chewing his food quietly he said,
“Now it's not Bu.”
Bu Anisa's forehead frowned. He did not understand the meaning of his son-in-law's answer. With curiosity Bu Anisa said,
“Why? Though all this time you never want me to make coffee because you think the coffee made by your wife who is wise. Did the doctor ban it?”
Velicia smiled sinisterly as she looked towards her husband after hearing what her mother-in-law had asked.
“That was Mom, now it's different,” replied Velicia with a bitter smile.
“Means?” asked Bu Anisa back with curiosity.
“For what Ve tired of making husband Ve coffee if later not drunk and ended up discarded because he prefers coffee made by others,” Velicia replied with a cynical smile looking at her husband who had paled in fear.
Bu Anisa widened her eyes and looked at Ferdi with a sharp look as she said,
“Who? What woman doesn't know herself? The woman that was with you at the veterinary clinic that night?”
Velicia's eyes widened when she heard her mother-in-law's words that led to Lani. And saw the expression of her husband who was caught lying. In his heart he said,
Ah how stupid of me who didn't think that far. Why do I even think that Mas Ferdi prefers the famous cafe and does not suspect who gave him the coffee?
"Ferdy!!!" bu Anisa yelled at her son with her cruel eyes.
