Dream House


Leon sits alone in front of Becca's funeral, where the ground is still wet. From then on, he did not shed any tears. But deep down he was very sad.


Everyone has gone one by one leaving Becca's grave. Likewise Arini, he immediately went home after feeling his head dizzy instead of playing.


Calina also only came for a while because she has a gig schedule today. It is not possible to cancel the event just like that, therefore he must be professional and come even if only 15 minutes.


"I'm sorry I can't be a good husband to you." Leon spoke in front of Becca's tombstone. "You are calm, yes, there. I'll always send you a do'a."


***


Even one Sunday Becca's departure. Everything went like Becca's message. Retno remains Jasmine's nanny.


And now Arini's moving back to Becca's house. Becca's house is bigger than her apartment. If he brings Retno to his apartment, afraid to make Retno uncomfortable.


Arini herself is actually not comfortable living for long in Becca's house, afraid to be told to take advantage of the opportunity. So he planned to buy a large house. And the apartment he's going to sell. So before he gets a new house, he will hitchhike first at Becca's house.


"What's that?" arini asked as Leon picked up a map from Becca's closet.


"No idea" replied Leon. He then opened the map. And the contents made Leon and Arini surprised.


"Letter on behalf of Jasmine," said Arini. "Becca was sick before she came to see me and told me that if she was gone, she wanted me to raise Jasmine like my own son" Arini said.


Leon immediately sat on the side of the bed, he patted the spot next to him asking Arini to sit next to him. "Becca said that?" ask Leon not to believe it. Because Becca didn't send him any messages.


"Yes. The Bude Retno. Becca orders Bude Retno to remain Jasmine's nanny when she's gone" Arini said. "With you yourself how? Is there a message too?" ask Arini. He looked at Leon closely.


Leon shook his head slowly. "Nothing," he said.


Arini answered nothing, she just kept quiet. But in her heart she thought, why didn't Becca send any messages to her husband? But to Arini and Retno he left a message.


Meanwhile Leon is drifting in his own mind. Why did Becca leave a message to everyone, but she didn't. Is that how bad Leon is in Becca's eyes?


"Leon..." Arini called Leon who was daydreaming.


Leon turned his head and looked at Arini as if asking "what's wrong?".


"Why you?"


Leon just shook his head.


Actually Arini wanted to express his intention to buy a new house, but he paused when he saw the sad face of Leon like this.


There is still tomorrow, he will tell tomorrow when Leon's condition has improved. Now is not the time to talk about home.

"A.s..." Via calls Calina who is playing mobile phone.


"Hmmm..."


"Tomorrow empty. I'm a permit, huh?"


Calina turned to Via. "Where? Tumben?" He looked suspiciously at Via.


"There must be something you're hiding. Yeah, right? Ngaku hayo? I have a feeling, definitely dating."


"Yee. sok tau." Via pursed his lips. "I'm going for a walk. Refreshing."


Unbelieving Calina could only pretend to believe. Want to be forced to confess, if Via is not wanting to confess, then he will not say anything.


"Oh, yes. Leon's second wife what's her name?" ask Via while chewing atomic nuts. He was playing to Calina's apartment because he was alone in his apartment. His sister is in college.


"Becca's. If his full name is I don't know. What's the matter?" Calina asked Via again.


"It's okay. Pity his son. The baby was abandoned by his mother. So how's Leon now? He didn't have two wives left in a relatively short time?"


"Obviously sad. Every one here must be moping."


Via looked at the ceiling of the room as if he was thinking hard. "It's baby amit-amit, anyway. But you ever think not? If you were not there, how would you express it now?"


Just contact the face of Via directly got a pillow hit from Calina. It's the same thing Via nyukahin Calina doesn't exist.


"Hehe... Kidding, my dear." He raised his middle and index fingers. Peace out!


"For a long time talking to me you can make me high blood. You better sit sweet and chew, deh. No need to say anything." Calina put her body in the bed while continuing to play her phone. He was playing a worm game.


"Yes yes. I promise to be quiet." Via chews again while listening to the song through earphones.


Calina only glanced at Via at a glance, then she focused on playing.

Arini's desire to buy a new house can not be realized in the near future. Because Leon disagrees.


They just finished lunch together. Both of them were sitting at the dining table. And negotiate at the dinner table anyway.


"You're gonna give birth soon, baby. Better money for labor or just in case something happens that is not desirable. About the house, patience, huh? I'll buy it later. But not now." Leon tries to warn Arini that there are still more important priorities than a house. He knows Arini feels uncomfortable staying at Becca's house for fear of being rumored about the no-no. But how else. Arini is about to give birth. They have to have a lot of money just in case. If Leon's savings plus Arini's savings will be better.


"I didn't ask you to buy it, Leon. I have savings. " Arini just kept on tightening.


For the dream house. Arini Spirit. Arini said in his heart.


"No, Darling. I won't give you permission" Leon said sternly and irrefutably.


If this is the case, Arini can only resign. Even though his savings are a lot. Understand, Arini has been working for a long time. And he includes people who are not wasteful.


But if Leon doesn't give permission, how else. She as a wife cannot perform actions that are not approved by the husband. He does not want to be disobedient.


"Yes already, deh. I resigned," said Arini slowly.


"Good, My wife." Leon rubbed the top of Arini's head for a while, then he went to the living room to meet Jasmine who was playing with Retno.


Arini who was still hungry finally decided to make a fruit salad. He had just finished lunch, but if the stomach is still hungry there is no prohibition to eat again, right?
