After leaving Danu to sleep in front of the television. Mila did not go straight to sleep, she sat next to Lala who was still closed. Brushed her sister's hair on her shoulders. Lala's white skin contrasts sharply with Mila's yellow Langsat skin.
When her mother reported her pregnancy, they were very happy. His father, Sarah, was still in fourth grade. Mila and Sarah are also far away. When Sarah was born Mila was still Junior High aged 14 years. When Lala was born Mila was no longer in school. Because there was no cost, plus his father left them.
About Mila's father so want to call Rohim. Wanted to know how the man was doing in Lampung. Rohim's father returned to Lampung one day after Dahlia's mother came home.
The phone from across the street was very long. Not even long ago lifted. Mila chose to turn off her phone. Peeking at the clock on his phone.
"It turns out it's nine o'clock in the evening. I'm sorry I didn't pick up the phone. It's definitely time to rest."
Mila opened Lala's room window. The direction of the window facing the neighboring garden. Only visible rows of Bidara leaves and elephant earlobes are wide. Some say the garden of his famous neighbors there is a waiter. But I don't know tonight there's no fear. But Lala never opened the window of her room so scared.
"Sister,"
"Lala, you've got up you've rested." Mila led Lala back to her bed.
"What's this brother? brother Danu where?"
"No longer want to get to you" replied Mila.
"Don't that, brother. Poor brother Danu. He's alone in the room."
"He's in front of the television, definitely asleep by now. You also rest." Mila pulled a blanket over her sister's body.
"Yes, Brother. But close the window. I'm scared." Mila closed the window of Lala's room at the request of the owner of the room.
"You're sleeping, yeah, Deck. Tomorrow I'll go to your school." Lala nodded while closing her eyes.
Mila took the ambal mattress to sleep. But unfortunately his eyes could not be closed. Time kept turning, Mila still could not sleep. Many times he changed his sleeping position.
"Am I evil as Danu? But he's like that, too, just like me. Turned off my phone many times. He intentionally left the goods there to repeat often. Not that he has another schedule.
True said Sarah, if the right man came home suddenly romantic there must be something. But how could I not believe Danu like that? am I the blind one? just like the time with Ammar.
Ammar, has he not been found? oh God, this is how people will still blame me for what happened at Vika's wedding."
Mila felt her stomach rung. He only remembered the last meal hours after coming home from the hospital with Lala. It is not usual for worms in his stomach to protest again. He got up and opened the door to his room.
His feet went into the kitchen. Of course it will pass through the television room. Mila didn't find Danu there. Her eyes were still searching for her husband. Of course there is anxiety if her husband really sleeps outside.
Mila saw her room open a little. There was relief that her husband slept in the room. Danu had already fallen asleep without covering her body with a blanket. Mila took the blanket in the closet. Floral patterned blanket belonging to the late mother of Aminah.
"I'm sorry, Mom. If it was selfish. I just let out some frustration. I'm just disappointed that you don't usually tell me.
You must be tired, caring for a stroke patient. You fight to heal others without caring for yourself."
Mila was about to leave the room. Suddenly his body seemed to be holding back. Moments later, Mila was on the bed.
"Mas" great-grandson Mila. When her husband's hands were all over her. A smile rose from the man's lips. With what her husband will do.
Sorry, yes, baby. If I am wrong with you. If I could ignore you. But believe me, it's purely because of work. Taking care of a stroke person is not the same as taking care of an ordinary sick person."
Mila was finally able to break away from Danu's embrace. They finally sat in the corner of the bed.
"I'm sorry too, Mom. Accusing you of non-compliance. I guess you really don't care anymore. I thought you loved work more." Danu and Mila sat facing each other. They speak from heart to heart. Understanding each other. That is the meaning of marriage.
In relationships with couples, indeed, it is not uncommon to misunderstand communication because of the lack of self-trospection. In addition, there is a difference in the way women and men express love. Women show love and care through words. On the contrary, men tend to express it in concrete actions such as washing and taking care of the car to be comfortable when traveling with family, or designing a vacation together. This difference can be bridged by revealing to men what to expect.
"I am your husband, Mila. I promised Rohim's father and Dahlia's mother to look after you, guide you, and be the head of the family because of a qibla wife to the husband. Not to your parents anymore. If I'm wrong, please rebuke me well. Not screeching like that."
"Sorry, Mom." Mila still lowered her head. Danu immediately raised Mila's chin.
"Here you go, now rest. It's already night. I have to work again tomorrow. Looks like I'll come by noon to Diana's mother's place. You see, Nurmala's mother told me to go to Puput school." explained Danu.
"Whose eggs? the orphanage, huh? why is he?" ask Mila.
"Yes, the orphanage. I don't understand. Said her mother did something to make her schoolmate wretched. I want to take you, but look at Lala's situation, so let me go to school." Danu explained. Mila just nodded small. He's actually going to Lala's school, too, in connection with Lala's broken shoes. Related to the guy who made Lala drop.
"SD, SMP what is SMA, Mas?"
"SMPN 1 Bengkulu" said Danu.
"One school is Lala, dong" said Mila.
"Oh yes, yes, one school with Lala. Puput is also a force with Lala." Danu just remembered that her sister-in-law was also in the same school.
"So gini, Mas. Lala once said her shoes were broken during basketball practice for a friendly match with another school. But Lala said she didn't know who did it. It happened before we got married.
And Lala was admitted to the hospital because there was a shrimp-elemental food. He's allergic. I got a tip from Aris, Lala's schoolmate, that the one who broke the shoes and gave the food was the same person" Mila explained.
"So I asked for help, Mas Danu If you go to school later, please help us get rid of Lala's problem."
"If the shoe problem is intentionally damaged, maybe I can help. But if the food problem is allergic element Lala. Maybe her friend didn't know Lala was allergic. We can't blame that."
"Yes if Lala knows there are shrimp she won't eat either, Mas. Because other friends even get chicken nuggets. But Lala never had a chicken allergy, Mas."
"Tomorrow I'll investigate this. I know one of the teachers there. Maybe he can work together."
"Have you prayed, Mas?"
"It was time until I took a shower and prayed. I'm gonna take you but I'm gonna go into Lala's room. I thought you must have slept. Have you prayed?"
"I'm having my period, Mas. Magrib just got it." explained Mila.
I heard heavy breathing. Will he have to be patient again? Danu also invited Mila to rest. Time has shown at half-eleven in the evening.
