I'm the One You're wasting

I'm the One You're wasting
Tami Felt Hick


"May now we will live in this little house, do you mind?" asked Arash when he and Witma were lying on the bed after they had finished praying.


"No, wherever you take me away I'll always come along and this mouth will never protest," witma answered while continuing to feel the cheek of the husband because his current position makes the chest of the Arash field as a pillow. "Is your cheek still hurting?" His hand is now stretched out to trace the jaw of Arash which has begun to grow fine hairs.


Arash who was asked shook his head. "Papa's slap doesn't hurt, the one that hurts here." He patted his chest softly. "Because no one in my own family believes in my brother so much pain, you're the most loving wife who believes in my brother that she never did anything to Anja," arash said that made Witma feel sad because she heard him say that. "By asking never to leave your brother under any circumstances." He stroked Witma's back with a feeling of growing affection for the woman who was his wife.


"Abang, if mom and dad come here and take brother away to ask brother still responsible for everything even though brother is innocent what will brother do?" Witma asked so because she was really afraid that she should be separated from Arash by Rose and Andri by force.


"That's not going to happen, because no one will find us here" replied Arash who knew for sure Witma was very scared about it. "I deliberately chose a place like this, far from the settlement and also far from the capital so that Kak Alma, Mama and Papa could not find our existence so, so, stop thinking about it because your comfort and happiness are your main tasks."


Not feeling the tears Witma dripped hearing the row of sentences the husband, he cried because he felt moved when he realized that Arash's love was indeed very sincere. He feels guilty because he had doubted Arash's love and loyalty to him.


Arash who felt the drops of water falling on his chest said, "Why are you crying, did your brother's words hurt you?" As usual Arsah would ask in a gentle voice to his wife.


"This is a happy tear bang, because I have managed to find a man who is sincere in loving me regardless of the physical, dark story of my mass and also my status which is only a widow," he replied.


"If so, do not have the slightest intention to leave your brother." Arash grabbed Witma's fingers and kissed her several times. "Sleep, because tomorrow morning is the day we're going to work and brother will introduce you as brother's wife at the cafe."


Witma shook her head when she heard that. "No brother, just let our marriage be a secret first, because I don't want my best friend Dina to become resentful of me because of knowing we're married." Turns out Witma already knew that the owner of the cafe was the husband. Because a few days ago Arash himself told her. "Would you promise to keep our marriage a secret?"


There's nothing Arash can do but agree to Witma's request. "Well, brother will keep this marriage a secret and now let's go to sleep." Arash began to close his eyes hoping that tomorrow morning there would be no more problems coming his way.

After the three of them finished breakfast they immediately walked to the car parked in the yard which only fit two cars.


"Tam, later after you go to school, your sister's friend Demian will pick you up, she will teach you how to ride a true matic motorcycle" said Arash, who had just entered his car. "Just relax, you've already talked this over to your sister Witma so, you don't have to worry about her disagreeing." He started to start the engine of his car. "Where, baby, do you agree, right?" He asked for approval from Witma again, although last night he and Witma had discussed this.


Witma who was nervous called dear in front of Tami this can only nod in response to the husband.


"Tami also agreed, brother, so that you can go to school alone no longer bother you," replied Tami with a cheerful face, but who would have thought in his mind he put a huge jealousy to Witma when he heard Arash calling his wife with a word of affection. "Tami doesn't feel good always being the third person like this, Tami feels like a real mosquito." He purposely said that in the middle of his heart that felt extremely arrogant.


Witma who realized that felt her sister these few days was a little different. He glanced back several times to see Tami but Tami who was seen was only pretending to read a book. "Tam, is there a problem? If there's a story here to sister." Witma asked her sister that.


"The problem is that Brother has taken Arash's brother from me should I be his wife, not a widowed brother" Tami said in her mind.


"Tam, you heard brother, right?" Witma asked once more because she felt Tami did not hear her.


"Hm, there is no brother," replied Tami reminisce after that he again looked down to read the book.

"Abang, just put me down here" Witma asked so that Arash braked suddenly. "Here you go, because I'm afraid someone will see me coming down from my brother's car" he continued.


"Honey, my brother lives to say that you are nebeng same brother," said Arash who did not want if the wife would walk to the cafe.


Witma who heard that shook her head in disapproval. "Abang, I don't agree because at the cafe we never knew each other the time was suddenly just one car," Witma told Arash.


Arash who does not want Witma to sulk agree to the request of the wife. "Okay, but wait for the bulge to come and then brother will let you down."


Witma furrowed an eyebrow terrorizing Arash. "Company for what?" ask Witma wonder.


"Abang do not want if dear to the sauces so brother message ojol to nganterin you get in front of the cafe." Arash answered that while landing a kiss on Witma's cheek.


"Abang cafe is ahead there." Witma pointed to the cafe which was about 30 meters away from the car. "I can walk alone why do you have to order all ojol?"


"The distance is still too far, brother does not want if until this brother's angel sweat because it is too tired to walk." Arash apparently never messed with what he said. "Just wait for the bulge to come and then your brother will open the car door."
