Just take him for you

Just take him for you
Trying to understand


Salma tried to catch both ears. The more they heard the conversation, the more it hurt and pierced his heart. Mas Armand whom he knew once was not like this, the man who is now his husband was a young man who was patient and polite in saying. Her husband changed since she gave birth to Cakra and Candra at the age of three months.


Her memory floated in the early days of their marriage. Salma is like a queen in the hands of the right man. Armand asked her to stop working as a radio announcer as well as a local television host in their hometown, arguing that she focused on their baby-to-be. Her husband also said, let the business of household he who bears as a head of the family.


Which woman is not flattered is treated that way. She immediately agreed to her husband's request to stay indoors, besides that the delivery time was also getting closer. Even Armand has prepared a babysitter to help him take care of their twin sons.


Unfortunately, that good time passed very quickly. The babysitter who worked with them dismissed Armand, who was three months old Cakra and Candra on the grounds they had to be financially efficient. When he asked for permission to take part-timer work as a radio broadcaster, Salma's desire was rejected outright.


salma flash back


"Yes, Mba Nur this past month is yes," Armand said one night as she was breastfeeding Cakra and Candra alternately.


"meaning? Mba Nur dismissed?"


"Yes, forced because of the needs of Cakra and Candra the greater we have to save for their education costs later. Besides, the pandemic is now down, my team's sales are down, Yang." Armand looked at Salma's eyes sadly. With one hand Salma rubbed her husband's cheek while giving a smile.


"I understand, Mas. Nothing I will give understanding to Mba Nur."


"Thank you baby, I promise to help you take care of them both." Armand peeped both the cheeks of the twins.


Armand's sweet demeanor gradually diminishes as Salma's time for her. Salma is more focused on taking care of her two bigger babies alone.


"Mas, my friend told me that Hepi radio needed a talk show announcer. Twice a week is only two hours. Can I not take it?" salma said one night at bedtime.


"For what?"


"Lumayan, I made the kitchen stuff." Not without reason Salma asked for permission to work again even though only part timer, because the living given her husband was reduced than usual.


"How about Candra's chakra?" Armand's tone of voice had already begun to rise.


"Can I take it, in the studio a lot of help take care of it really or ask you to take care of it for a while, can also." Mother Armand's residence was only five houses apart from their residence. Living alone with no activities, Salma believes her in-laws can help her keep Cakra and Candra as long as she works twice a week for just two hours each.


"You must not be shy, I can still support you and your children as long as you do not ask for excessive. Besides, my mother-in-law is not your nanny, you don't deserve to keep Cakra with Candra." Armand's emotions began to ignite.


"That's not what I mean, Mom. I'm just asking for help, if it can't be anything, I can just take them to-"


"Well! so stubborn are you!" Armand left Salma alone in the room and slept in the next room.


Salma hugged her two sons who were then four months old tightly. It was difficult when her husband said he could provide them as long as he did not ask for excessive. Her basic needs as a woman who gets monthly guests, sometimes Salma must owe first in a neighboring stall let alone for facial and body care.


That night was the beginning of her depression as a mother and wife of a young couple. The burden of an unhappy mind and heart, making ASI can not flow smoothly anymore. So that the nutritional needs of the twins must be added to formula milk and that means greater spending.


"Cup .. cup .. cup, don't nangiiiss." Salma's hand pressed against his chest so that his ASI could flow more rapidly, but the flowing is not ASI but water from both eyes.


Two days ago the cheapest formula she bought was gone, and tonight her two children starved and thirsty made her heart as a mother sliced. The head of the family who had previously promised to take care of the baby together, had even fallen asleep in the next room.


"Bright noisy they were last night. Next time give milk until full before going to bed so do not disturb people if the night. I'm tired of working at home and can't sleep" Armand grumbled as he sipped his coffee.


"The milk is running out" said Salma lirih. He knew his words could provoke quarrels in the morning, but still had to be delivered for the sake of his children.


"What did you do then?! don't be extravagant, just love ASI," bursts Armand, "There are free ones you have to buy," Armand grumbled.


"It's starting to diminish, Mom. They've gotten bigger if only ASI ain't enough."


"Most of your reasons, say you don't want your body to change. If it's ugly, it's still ugly." After saying that, Armand immediately went to work without leaving a penny for him. Forced he had to add debt at the stall next door to eat it today.


flash back is complete


The sound of laughter in the dining room made him realize that there are men and women who are not legal partners in one room. Salma made sure her two children had fallen asleep before she came out of the room.


"Sal, eat first." Tania pulled her hand to sit next to him, "You don't miss having to eat a lot, just look thinner." Tania even got him rice and side dishes. Friends since college is indeed much more mature and motherly than him.


"Don't be served, Tan. So the more lazy he, his work just eat sleep just what tired he. The same difference you have a catering business is obviously tired, but there are results. It's amazing you, Tan." The rice in her mouth seemed to be stuck in the throat hearing her husband's insults as well as praise for Tania.


"It's customary, Mom. Obviously Salma was much better at taking care of two toddlers alone."


"Alaaah, that's Tan. Kids love toys, watch TV keep sleeping. Mama fell asleep while playing cell phone, husband came home to say the kids fuss."


Salma can only swallow three tablespoons. Her chest felt increasingly tight to hear the words of her husband who seemed to demean her.


"Cock spares, Sal?" tania asked as she brought the half-filled plate to the kitchen.


"My stomach is not good, it might catch a cold," said Salma gave an excuse.


"You learned to respect others, Sal. Already bothered Tania come bring food, yes spent. So next time you learn to cook, let's not bother people continue!" Apparently not enough Armand gave his sharp words. She was in the kitchen and still heard her husband's voice.
