"Mas, I want to talk to you" I said as I sat on the lip of the bed. My husband is busy with a cell phone in his hand. I don't know who he's calling nights like this. He looked happy from the look on his face.
"What are you talking about?" Mas Gevan put his phone down.
"How come you're paying attention to Queen?" ask me without fear. I'm the curious type of person who can't help but feel the burning sensation in my chest.
"You why the hell? You should be grateful that Mas care for your brother," said Mas Gevan shook his head. Felt that what I was asking didn't deserve him to answer.
"Mas, which wife is not jealous if her husband cares for other women?" lazy say. We never had a discussion about feelings before. Mas Gevan has always been my best husband. Look after me and Lala and always make time for both of us.
"You're weird!" mas Gevan said, lying down.
"Surprise how the hell, Mas?" My forehead shrinks in wonder. Is it wrong that I protest if my husband is more concerned with other women than me?
"Have you slept. I have an operation tomorrow morning." Mas Gevan turned off our room lights until dimly visible.
I exhaled a rough breath. I hope my house is okay. I don't want to be like Kak Nara and Kak Naro who almost failed in their household.
"Good sleep, Mom."
I lifted my husband's blanket and then kissed his forehead short as usual every night. There's something different about Mas Gevan tonight. Usually he would hug my body tightly before falling asleep. We slept hugging each other and various warmth from each other. However, tonight it was like there was something unusual that he was hiding.
I lay down beside him. Mas Gevan turned his back on me, only this time did he sleep without looking at my face. Huh, why is my heart starting to tight because it's uncomfortable. I wish there was nothing my husband was hiding.
I couldn't sleep all night, let alone hear Lala's explanation and see for myself how sweet my husband was to Queen Mother.
"Huff."
I woke up because I couldn't sleep. I like to drink water in the middle of the night. I got out of bed and headed for the kitchen. My footsteps stopped when I saw Queen Ma'am who was also in the kitchen.
"Mr," call me.
"Eh, Ta." He looked surprised to see me coming.
I watched the Queen Mother's clothes. Her twin hills were exposed when she wore a bra that was smaller in size. Especially those short pants. Even though it is covered with a kimono, the shape is still visible. I'm the only one who failed to focus, especially the men.
"I want a drink, Ma'am," I replied.
"Oh please, Ta." He shifted and gave me his bribery room to get some drinking water.
"How's the story about you being almost raped?" I was wondering exactly what happened this afternoon. Is that really the reality? Seeing the appearance of Queen Ma'am was convincing.
"Bak was scared, Ta. That was Mbak again the way, there were still two thugs chasing Mbak. Fortunately there was Gevan who helped," he explained.
When I mention my husband's name. His face looked bright and there was a happy tone of his words.
"How come Mas Gevan helped Ma'am?" manya curious. I'm the kind of person who's not satisfied if I haven't found the answer to the question that's ringing in my head.
"Yes, Ta. Nor do you know." He wiped his tears. But don't I see her cheeks wet, is this woman pretending to cry?
"Haven't thought about it again, ma'am. Next time be careful. Don't walk by yourself often" I said.
"I'm sorry, Ta. Ma'am so troublesome you and Gevan. Hopefully Mbak quickly can work and let me rent a contract," he said holding my hand.
Actually I want to kick this woman out of our house. Actually Kak Nara has warned not to allow Queen Mother here. But where else does he live? There is no family here? Somehow he wouldn't want to live with Om Reza and Aunt Henny.
"It's okay, Ma'am. But if you can do it quickly find a job. I'm afraid there will be slander if Mbak stay here too long. Moreover, I have a husband," I said bluntly. It seemed like this woman had the talent of destroying other people's households.
"Yes, Ta. Mbak will try as soon as possible," said Queen Mbak.
"Yes, Ma'am," I replied.
"Yes, I entered the room first. You just take a break," said Queen Mother rubbing my shoulder.
I replied with a nod. Then I looked at the back of Queen's mother who was away. He is still beautiful with a Spanish guitar body. She's ten years older than me. However, it does not reduce the level of beauty on her face.
"Hopefully Queen's mother will move soon."
I went back into the room. I breathed as much as I could when I saw my husband who was asleep. I don't want any suspicion between us. I want to stay with him forever until death do us part. May we be truly as happy as Mas Bintang and Kak Nara, forever a servant in the eternity of love.
I got into bed and hugged my husband from behind. I can't explain how much I love this man who is my husband. Soft language always makes me opiate to feel at home beside him.
"Mas, may you remain the man who loves me in all circumstances. I hope our love is put to the test by anything. Maybe many will tempt and make our household tenuous. But I believe, we're two people who are both afraid of losing."
Because I know that two people love and care for each other. He would be afraid of losing someone he loves. That's why, if Mas Gevan really loves me as a wife. He wouldn't have cheated on me even though there might be a lot of women out there teasing him.
Because falling in love is something that cannot always be called by the word. Sometimes just glare at the eyes and gurgle at the chest. So, I just leave all this ice in his eyes, in the span of his hand, on the small talk that I hold so as not to pass quickly. I, have taken pains to curse the time to hold it with all the rumbling in my chest. Something I ended up concluding as a longing.
"I love you, Mas. Please don't change and don't make me like a woman who's lost her way."
Seriate...
