Like Leman's promise that this weekend he will return to Rosita's house and finish teaching, Leman immediately poked the gas to Rosita's residence. Iklima only smiled when he got a message from his man who said that Leman's car was seen leaving their district.
“You want to show your sincerity, don't you? Then I'll see how much sincerity you boast!” batin Iklima saw a photo of Leman's car leaving the district border to the next district.
Two hours later, Leman's car entered the house but the house was empty. Tired of calling finally Leman contacted Rosita but it turns out his new wife did not answer his call. Leman chose to take a spare key placed by Rosita under one of the flower pots in front of her house.
It was night but Rosita had not yet returned home to make Leman hold back angry let alone his phone this time was dead. At nine o'clock in the evening, the sound of the car stopping in front of the house caught Leman's attention. The man went straight outside and saw that the one who came down from there was his wife. The driver opened the window and raised a hand to Leman as a sign of greeting.
“You didn't stop by first?” ask Rosita.
“No, Ros. We go straight home! Bang, we say goodbye.” Said the male driver. Leman only nodded but his face was very sour. As soon as her friend's car left the house, Rosita rushed to the husband who had been racked with a sharp gaze raining down on her.
“Where did you come home at this time? What kind of wife at this hour just remembered home? Don't you realize you're my wife? Is it because I'm not at home that you're free to wander around and hang out with the other guy behind me?” Rosita was surprised and did not expect if Leman would react like this especially Leman also brushed his hand when Rosita wanted to kiss the back of the hand.
“Bang!” lirih Rosita's.
“Why? Are my words right, Rosita?”
“No, Bang. I thought Brother didn't come home so I followed my friends out and the man was one of my friends too. I'm sorry, Bang. My phone also died from the battery. Has your brother been home long? Already eaten? How about we eat out?”
“Abang not hungry!” Leman decided to go inside and lay her body on the bed. Rosita spaces her kitchen and then finds out if her husband just finished eating instant mis.
“I buy rice pack only yes, Bang!” Leman did not answer. Rosita was riding her motorcycle leaving Leman in the room.
Uhuk…
Leman woke up to take a drink because his throat was itching again. Rosita brought two packets of satay pasture and put them in two dishes and put them on the table.
“Come, we eat first!” take Rosita gently.
Rosita placed the plate in front of Leman who was holding back a cough. “Abang smoking again?”
“Iya, why?” Answer Leman ketus.
“Eat first yok!” Take Rosita gently. He did not want to make Leman even more angry because of his ban.
The longer Leman's cough got worse even he again felt pain in his chest. Both of them sleep is not calm because the night the cough Leman increasingly disturbing. Rosita wakes up and makes warm water for her husband. “Drink first, Bang!” Leman accepts and then insists but the pecking is getting itchy.
“We go to the pharmacy only, how?” ask Rosita.
Eventually, Rosita takes Leman to a 24-hour dispensary. After getting the drug in accordance with the complaint, they returned home and Leman immediately took the drug. Only two hours later Leman was able to fall asleep because after that he coughed again. Rosita, exhausted during the day while out with her friends, returns to wake up when Leman wakes her up.
With her eyes hard to open, Rosita tries to get up and take back the medicine for Leman. “Is it okay to drink again? Just two hours ago I took this medicine?”
“Abang can't stand. Eyes are also sleepy once.” Leman said then took the medicine again until both of them fell asleep and missed the morning prayers. At ten in the morning Rosita woke up because of the ringing sound of her cell phone.
“Hallo,”
“Why, Brother?”
“You forgot we have an appointment out?”
“Aduh, Brother. I forgot and today I can't come. Bang Leman is at home.”
“Oh, fine then. Just go ahead then. Bye..”
Rosita immediately put down her phone and her eyes fell asleep again until azan zuhur reverberated. Leman wakes up from his sleep due to coughing back and Rosita is also awake.
“Bang, I'm late waking up. We eat rice wrap only yes!” Leman nodded then Rosita came back out to buy rice packs.
Rosita began to worry about her husband's condition because her cough was felt to be getting worse. “Kata Bang Leman yesterday he was fine. Is he lying? But when we talked, he never coughed?”
“Kak, wear what side dish?”
“Kak!” Rosita was surprised when one of the warung guards called her.
During the trip home and reached home, Rosita continued to pay attention to her husband's condition. Leman's cough only stopped about two hours after taking the medicine. “Before coming home, did you also cough like this?”
“No! Brother is also confused why you can cough like this.”
“Em, Bang!” Leman looked at his wife.
“How about we check into traditional medicine?” leman's forehead wrinkled.
“Place where people can get medicine from natural results is not a chemical like this. I'm afraid because you keep taking the medicine every two hours.” Leman seemed to think then nodded his head.
After finishing lunch, they agreed to go to traditional medicine. An old man at the treatment site read the prayers and then blew in the mineral water that Rosita brought while staring at Leman and Rosita alternately. Rosita's instincts say there is something else from Mbah's gaze but he cannot ask that.
“So I why can cough like this huh, Mbah?” asked Leman without knowing it, Rosita's head shook his head slowly staring at the Mbah.
“Affects of wind and air and weather changes that make many people experience similar things. This water is drunk now also so that the itching does not recur. I recommend stopping the hospital medication first so that it is clear which one is suitable. What is the medicine from me or the medicine from the hospital.”
“Good, Mbah. Thank you.”
“Better if you reduce smoking.” He said and then looked back at Rosita. The husband and wife left the treatment. And it's true that Leman's cough does not recur after drinking the mineral water.
“Dek, Brother come home early tomorrow morning ya!” said Leman laying on Rosita's lap. Rosita's fingers play beautifully on her husband's head. For a long time they hold each other's homesick and when they came home yesterday until last night they had not made fun of each other like people miss each other due to the cough that Leman felt.
“What I fear seems to have happened.”
