Marry Bening
Amit-amit

"Honey, what time are you home today?"

Erina took me to the porch when I was about to leave for work. His hands were wriggling spoiled and continued to cling to me. As if he didn't want to give anyone a way to get close to me. Including Clear.

"You will go to the store between Mr. Maskun aja yes, dear. I'm sorry, I had a client appointment this morning, so I can't take you to the store." I took my hand off and ignored Erina's question. Choose to approach my wife while stroking her hair affectionately.

"Yes, Mas. Gakpapa, besides I'm ready for the ball." I cut the back of my hand and then kissed her forehead. Things that have become my habit.

"What..didn't you rest at home, Yank?" Worriedly.

"aaah...Mom, I'm gonna take a long break at home. I keep it at home." Whine.

"But your face is still pale, Yank..." Clasp both cheeks with my hand, anxious.

"It's permissible, right? Fix it! No change of mind!" Crossing his hands on his chest forms the letter X.

"When is the permit? You are the one who makes it."

"Ih...Mommy..."

"Haha okay.ok..." Hugged it. "But you have to promise, don't be tired. Just be quiet."

"No promise, hehe..." I pecked his forehead again.

"But really, Yank. You are very pale. Really, aren't you sick?" worried then.

"Ehem." Forgetting, there is currently Erina watching the interaction between us. Bening released my embrace to her.

"Bye, hon. Go first." I said goodbye to my wife and waved my hand doubtfully at Erina who was standing next to her.

I left, with a heavy heart. Why am I being so selfish?

I'm worried, Erina's back but I don't want to let go of my own wife. If you call me a planner, it's true. At a time like this what are you going to do?

Remembering my relationship with Erina was quite good even far from the dispute between us even though the relationship we lived was enough to just exchange sweat and fluids. It was only the last moment when he refused my proposal and instead chose Paris for his cause.

Those two years are not a moment for me to forget all that we've been through together. Although I used to work extra often just to make Erina happy. Regardless of all that, it is not easy to forget him just like that. It was still very wet when I spoke out loudly to the woman who was already my wife, if at any time, I only wanted Erina and returned to her.

But right now my feelings are worried. Where should my heart be anchored?

"Undid up, Non." Mr. Maskun reminded Bening when the car he was driving stopped right in front of the store.

According to the instructions of his employer earlier, Mr. Maskun actually drove Bening to his shop.

"Oh, yes, sir. Thanks." Thanks." Open the car door to get out.

"So, wait there, no." Designate shop page for parking space.

"No need. Father went home. If you want to go home, I'm telling you Mr."

"Lha, how is this, Non. Den Aslam told me that..."

"Well, let me say the same to Mas Aslam."

"But Non..."

"Mr don't worry. Mas Aslam will not be angry because it was me who asked."

"Well, it's not. Mr. pamit. If there's anything call dad."

"Yes, Sir. Thanks." Thanks."

Mr. Maskun is gone. For a moment Bening sighed as he looked at OPEN's writing on the door of his shop. It looks like Yuni walked over and over to take care of a crowded customer who came this morning until she was unaware of the arrival of Bening who was standing looking at her from the outside.

Just a few steps Bening put his foot through. The sound of the cry of the little boy made him stop.

"Byan?" Bening frowned. "Dyan!" He spread his arms when he saw a little boy who had not met for one week.

"Mommy!" Fasting hugging Bening. "Mommy, why are you here now? Byan kangen's. Byan wants to see Mami, but the papih forbidden Byan to meet Mami at the house of Om Aslam.." he complained.

"Mommy, don't love Byan anymore..." Byan was crying with sadness.

Bening nodded his head as Rudy approached them. Then he crouched down to equalize his height with Byan.

"Son, I love you, Byan. Brother is also kangen.banget same byan." Babe babe head hair Byan.

"You kangen and baby, why didn't Mami ever pick up Byan's phone?" rubbing her tears.

Bening glanced at Rudy, asking in a gesture. When did he contact her?

"Byan, Mami Bening was sick last week. So, he can't be bothered." Rudy mediates.

"Ah yes, dear. Sorry brother, huh? Pas Byan called brother again sleeping. So never pick up," lied Bening.

"OK deh. But now Byan is seneng. Because now I'm meeting Mami!"

"Yes donk..must be happy!" Cheerful Bening. "Udah ah, handsome boy can't cry! Boy time crybaby.." ledek Bening clean the remains of tears on his face Byan.

Rudy's heart was filled to see the interaction of the two people in front of him.

"Wah wah wah.. maksa want to go to the store turns out there is a child who misses to meet his mother." Someone suddenly said.

"Mother Erina?" The clear looks shocked. Didn't expect Erina to catch up with him.

"What would Aslam react if he knew his wife was gathered with his small family? There's a cute little boy, mommy and.pap.pi."

It sucks! Erina is such a bitch. It felt like Bening wanted to continue cursing right then and there. But why does he want to curse? Pregnancy hormones make her emotions unstable.

"Rudy? You're Rudy, right?" Erina gasped, just like Rudy who gasped when he saw Erina.

"Erina?" Wrong behavior as Rudy looked towards Erina and Bening alternately.

"Hi, Rud. How are you?" hugged Rudy.

"B-well," can't say anything.

"Tante don't get near papih!" Byan kept Erina away from her papa.

"Only mommy can hug papih!"

"Byans." Rudy kept Byan from saying anything more.

"We'd better talk inside" Bening asked later.

"Bey!" Seru Iman's.

"Mr Cibey!" Yuni ran and hugged her master. "Sir, how is he? Is it healthy right? Mbak's face is still pale gini. Mbak should rest first ampe cured..." Yuni was already glazed.

"I'm good, Ma'am."

"I'm sorry yo, Ma'am. I'm the belom of nengokin's peg the sick mama..."

"Gakpapa, Ma'am. I understand. The shop is busy."

"Mas Aslam knows if you're here?"

"Look. He's the one who let me make it to the store."

"And the idea is to go to the store just to meet the other family," Erina chirped to make the conversation between Yuni and Bening distracted.

"Who is he, Ma'am?" Yuni Whisper.

"Mbak Yuni please make us a drink. I want fresh orange juice." Clear diverted the conversation.

Unwilling to refute, Yuni immediately carried out Bening's orders.

"So this is the cake shop you're proud of? Just this?" Cibir Erina looked around the shop.

Yuni has served drinks on a round table that has been surrounded by Bening, Rudy and Erina. Do not forget the carrot cake pieces have been served on each plate.

Byan, the boy was invited Yuni into the next room because it was very fitting with the arrival of the Rose who came home from school immediately came to the store following his mother.

"Yes, thank you for visiting our simple store. I didn't expect Erina Ampe to follow me. Though 'was able to go together if Mbak want to come here." Cold, Bening said as if nothing had happened.

Rudy looked at the two women in front of him. There were so many questions in his mind.

"How long have you known each other?" Sipping tea served with an elegant and graceful attitude.

"Gue look at you guys close enough." put down the teacup.

"Did Aslam know if your son called his bin mami?"

"Yes. Aslam knows." Clear interjected.

"Well, Aslam is pretty good as it turns out."

"When are you coming home?" Rudy asked, switching the conversation.

"Isn't it not two years ago when you went to Paris?"

"Yes. If the kangen is already mountainous, where it can be detained," replied Erina laughing strangely.

"Cih, what's the miss?" Unable to resist, Rudy smiled sarcasm as he sipped his tea.

"Lo nagging me?" Erina couldn't take it.

"Where was Aslam when he was speeding you?"

"Gue's busy."

"Busy looking for a thick wallet?"

"Fuck lo!"

Sruuuptt the sound of a drink that had been barren interrupted the chat between Rudy and Erina.

"Ups, sorry. I'm thirsty." A horse without sin. "Please resume the chat. I'm just listening." Put his drinking glass that left ice cubes in it.

Without being able to be held Rudy smiled at the silly behavior made by Bening. I don't know, for him what Bening did was like a booster mood for him.

His hand moved, cutting the cake presented in front of him and scooping it in front of Bening.

"Open your mouth" Rudy's orders are undeniable.

"Mas Rudy bribed me?" Clear away her body.

"Yes, let's eat fast."

"Did, who would dare to rant?" Bening ignored Rudy's hand that was still floating in the air, hoping that Bening opened his mouth and ate it.

"What's wrong with opening your mouth and eating it?"

"Mas Rudy, plis! I don't want to eat that cake!" Ketus Bening sipped the remaining water that came from ice cubes that began to melt.

"Don't be muna' deh." Erina sneered back. "When you're friendly."

"You guys should just talk. I'm staying first" said Bening to leave Rudy and Erina.

How annoying!

Unceasingly Bening rubbed his stomach while saying inwardly...Amit-amit.

"Crazy, the work is endless. The clock is new" said Mario.

My HP keeps shaking. Erina sent me a lot of photos. At first I was reluctant to open it because only one bribe I put nutrients into my mouth. However, the vibrations on my phone made me even more curious. What photos did Erina send?

The left hand held the phone, opening one of the photos Erina sent me. The right hand that was holding the spoon tightened. One more photo I opened, this time a different pose. Until then all the photos Erina sent were open. I unconsciously slammed the spoon I was holding on to a plate that was still full of my lunch. My god made a noise that made people who were enjoying their food look at me. No exception Mario who was surprised because he sat right in front of me.

"What's wrong? Whys? Selow, Bro. Selow.." -..."

Instead of being calm, I slammed my phone on the table. Then I brushed my hair with rage. I took my phone, then stood up and walked back and forth because the person I was calling did not answer my call. Many times, until the call is answered.

"WHERE ARE YOU NOW?!"

Like a madman, I screamed not looking around. Mario who was enjoying his meal stopped. He was astonished at my attitude of yelling at someone on my phone call.

Sorry, Yo. But this is my business with my wife...

Without saying anything more, I immediately took my work suit and ran away leaving Mario still filled with questions.
