MY IMAM
Episode 4

Ananda knocked a few times

her spring fingers on the dining table accompanied by some delicious food menu that she had just cooked as dinner. His stomach had continued to sound probably because he had not eaten heavily since last afternoon, only iced coffee that he managed to put into his digestive tract.

He is still faithfully waiting for Abi's return from the office like the previous nights. But somehow tonight Abi's return time is so long as not always.

“Mas Abi really long?” His brow

annoyed.

Not long ago a roar of a car engine came into the yard of the house sign that the husband had gone home, rushed Ananda up and opened the door. Turns out his instincts were right, Abi was seen coming out of the garage. Looks like I just kept the car in the garage next to the house.

Ananda immediately grabbed Abi's briefcase and kissed the man's hand outstretched towards her.

“For so long back Mas?” Ananda asked Abi.

“He was overtime doing a proposal for a new project,” Ananda nodded, “Yaudah, would you take a shower or dinner first?”

Abi thought for a moment, “Eat first, because mas already laper pingin menggerasain your cooking again, hehe.” Kelakar Abi's.

Abi who was carried away by accident grasping Ananda's fingers made the woman quietly stiffen instantly. Abi who was aware of his actions immediately released the link of both of their hands quickly. “Sorry, mas engga on purpose,” Said Abi in a bad tone. An awkward atmosphere was imprinted from the two. Realizing the situation began not to wear. Abi immediately took over the situation under the pretext of wanting to shower first.

“Mas, shower first ajaya.” Briefly from Abi.

***

Like the previous nights, Abi would pick up a pillow and a blanket for her to use while sleeping in front of the television. However, before he took another step out of the room Ananda's voice called out to him made Abi turn his head instantly.

“Udah quite Mas, it's time we like other pairs. We've been married for a week and we've never slept in bed.” Ananda said so smoothly.

“I just want to make you uncomfortable and I know enough you never like me.” Ananda. “You just had to run this wedding Nand.” Lirih Abi then left Ananda in their bedroom.

Tears began to flow in Ananda's temple. She realized that during this week she was only doing her duty as a wife not as someone who loved her husband. If you can tell the truth, Ananda does not agree with this marriage, but because of the coercion of the father makes him trapped in a marriage status that he does not want. But during these few days Ananda tried to force her heart to accept the circumstances that had happened even she tried to love her husband

that was, even though the shadow of an ex-lover was still troubling his mind.

Ananda cried all night after hearing Abi's words, there was also a sudden longing feeling in his chest for Zian, the ex-lover who had never contacted him since Ananda said that he had obeyed his father's wish to be betrothed. Usually, if a problem is struck, Zian's shoulder is the place where he rests to cry. And every time Ananda cried never once Zian would tell him to stop, even Zian would be silent until his shirt was soaked with tears Ananda spilled. And also do not forget the burly hands of the man who will wipe his back and wipe his tears. Did Ananda miss another man when she had a husband?. Ananda fell into his dreamland after heavy thoughts raged in his head.

Without Ananda realizing that from earlier Abi was still watching him, noticing that his idol had to cry every night because of him. Abi felt so guilty why he had to accept this match even though he loved Ananda so much but the woman had another heart before she came to Ananda's life. Abi cursed himself once more.

The next morning, the awkward atmosphere was so clearly visible. Several times the views of the two met but they quickly let go of the link. At the dining table only the sound of the clanking of spoons with plates is heard, the house is so quiet. Last night for the first time their discussion took place. Unlike other couples where in the early weeks of marriage there are only joking and happy laughter that accompany but in their marriage the debate has taken place even at the beginning of their new marriage that corn-time.

“Mas depart first yes you are careful at home, do not need to nganter to the front.” Abi said as he grabbed his briefcase.

“Iya mas be careful on the road.”

Ananda immediately took the dirty tableware to wash immediately.

A knock from the door stopped Ananda's dishwashing, and she rushed to the outside door. It turned out that her mother-in-law had come this early.

“Lho, I'm not saying I want to come. Home is still a mess bu.” Said Ananda as she grabbed her father-in-law's right hand for him to kiss.

“Eh, emang rich mother-in-law-others what is as fierce as her daughter-in-law just because the house is a mess.” Canda the in-law, this one in-laws is indeed a very good person and sometimes likes to joke. The types of in-laws dream that Vanessa says Ananda's best friend.

“Abi has departed yes.” Ask Ananda.

“Iya Ma'am, just left.”

“haduh late mother, but deliberately early in the morning want to leave so you can meet the two of you,”

“What's wrong mom? Mom said it was Nanda. Later Nanda convey to mas Abi.”

Maryam-Mother Abi—soon grabbed her bag took two coupons from her bag, “This is you know just want to give a vacation package for both of you, count-count for your honeymoon both.”

“Hah! How's bu?” Ananda gawking did not believe the words of his father-in-law, how to want to honeymoon even thought to honeymoon alone he never. “Mother seriously?”.

“Serious dong, ticket people already I ordered.” Maryam gave two more tickets to Ananda. “Nih!”

“Aduh...should have been the same mother Abi. If he's busy in the office how?”

“Mommy wants a rebuttal. Office business is Faiz.” It seems like her mother-in-law's plan is already round for

making him and Abi honeymoon until involving Faiz his sister Abi to be hired to replace Abi temporarily.

“But Faiz just graduated from college mom, afraid he can't handle everything.” Ananda was worried.

Maryam smiled again calmly as everything would happen according to her plan, “Have you not thought much, the most important thing is now that you enjoy your life as Madam Abhimanyu

and soon love mother grandson, Ok!” It turns out that he does not have in-laws

well it sounds fun, Ananda realized that now.

“Yaudah, Come help mom cook for lunch!” Excited Mistress Maryam happily ignored Ananda who had been thinking how to refuse this honeymoon trip.

***

Arriving at the office, as usual, dozens of greetings will fill Abi's ears along the way until he managed to sit in the chair of his greatness as a CEO.

“Log in!” Abi exclaimed as a knock came from outside his room. Raline walked up to her superior's desk politely. “Pak, here's the report.”

“Lho! It's so fast. Are you staying up late?” Raline nodded again. Abi breathes slowly.”I told you last night that you could report it at noon.”

“No papa sir. I finished quickly to be able to do other work as well.” Kill Raline.

Abi smiled and thanked me.

“I'm back first yes sir.” Abi invites Raline to return to her desk. Diriya now focus on reading the contents of the financial statements that have just been submitted by Raline. Everything looks

so well written by the woman. It is not wrong that the HRD recruited Raline to be hired here.

several times. Soon he went to a small shop to buy coffee made by the mother of his subscription seller. It has become a habit for Abi himself to drink coffee there rather than ordering in the kitchen of the office that usually everyone ordering coffee then the OB will deliver the coffee directly to the table

orderman. However, not for Abi he prefers coffee made by the shopkeeper's mother there which is so delicious for him. In addition, he also likes to chat with rude workers who are building a building next to his office. Abi was happy when he could exchange stories with those workers, a lot of lessons

the life he got from the workers there were mostly

immigrants in this city. The immigrant who leaves his wife and children

family in their hometown.

“Coffee one bu!’’ Shouted Abi while approaching the workers who this morning did not seem to be going to work because

the drizzle that suddenly came.

“Iya Mas!” Reply to the seller's mother to Abi.

The workers welcome Abi to join them, “Wah, Mas Abi. Here's how to join!” shouted one of the workers.

“Mas-masnya does work?” Ask Abi for pleasantries.

“Iyani mas, it seems like it will rain so we have a holiday maybe today.danger if you climb the building while raining, fear jatoh,” Said another worker.

And be Abi who engages in casual-to-heavy chats with the workers. Until one of the workers offended about Abi's personal problems. “Mas Abi is married or not?” Ask the workers

it was timidly offensive to the feelings being asked.

Abi smiled kindly back despite being a little surprised. “Newly married a week ago mas,” He said.

“Wah turns out to be a newlywed. His wedding was mas.” Said Udin who asked about the personal matter earlier. Gogo who heard Udin's mischievous reaction immediately shook his head strongly.”Who we are. To the extent that Mas Abi wants to ngundang us.” He was angry with Udin.

Abi again smiled at the familiarity of the workers who were now like friends to him. “Aw me

real Mas forgetfulness. It's the wife's family invitation. Sorry yes Mas engga ngundang-ngundang.” Abi feels bad for his new friends.

“Aduh ngga papa kok mas just relax. I was just kidding, don't take it seriously. Anyway if we are invited to take us to the wedding mas Abi? Body carrying period doang?” Udin

any more.

They laughed together again. Sometimes sharing a problem with others can ease the burden on

our shoulders. And do not forget also to be a listener for the complaints of others.

Abi arrived home sooner than usual, he glanced at the clock that showed at 4 pm.....

Abi opened the door of the house slowly, the fragrant aroma of cake immediately greeted him from the kitchen. “What's Nanda doing for cake again?” Inner Abi while continuing to step towards the kitchen. At first he wanted to go immediately

the room to just change clothes but because of the aroma of cake that spread throughout the house made him curious about what his wife made.

“Ananda, you make ku—eh... how come there's Mom?” Surprised Abi when he saw Maryam was helping Ananda stir the dough.

“Hah! You finally came home too. Here help us.” Abi stepped up without saying anything more.  He was given an electric mixer by Maryam, Abi grimaced. Never once did he get involved in baking but should now he do. “You stir until completely smooth, if thick addin water a little. I'm going to the toilet for a minute.” Abi nodded lazily arguing with his mother's orders.

Abi also glanced at Ananda who was seen entering the cake batter into the mold.

“From when is mom here?” Abi asked in a surprised tone

“From the morning after you left Mother has arrived here.” Answer the wife

Abi was surprised at what his mother visited their house, his mother was not the type who likes to travel out

home for unnecessary things. Then Ananda went into the middle room and soon he returned with four rectangular pieces of paper in his hand. Ananda handed it over to Abi. “Mother wants us honeymoon.” Ananda.

“What?!”

“Iya I want you honeymoon,” said Maryam who finally rejoined the two of them.

“Bu, Abi's work is more in the office. Stampy hinges for honeymoon.” Maryam approached and pulled the earlobe of her eldest child, making the ear empress complain of pain. “You are disobedient

do you want to welcome Mom?” Abi sighs, his mother's old illness returns

relapses, likes to dramatize.

“Don't want to nurutin bu, but it is in the office again busy.” Abi's complaint

“If your office problems just calm down. There will be Faiz.” Said Maryam lightly.

Abi clucked in annoyance, “Engga! Just treat the thesis he's hanging. How to manage company.”

“Just I don't want to know you two have to join this holiday event. Point!.” Said Maryam then took her bag to go back home. However, he did not have time to move away he again said, “Tonight you must be ready because....... tomorrow you have to leave!”.

Abi and Ananda were automatically shocked. “Besok?”

Maryam nodded then smiled ignorantly, “See dong departure date.” The young husband and wife also noticed the departure date listed on their respective tickets, there was a date written

their honeymoon was................

TOMORROW.
