Other Dream Women
Chapter 24. Cunningly

Cahya stood looking at the back of the man who was currently busy fighting in front of the dishwasher. Both of Cahya's eyes heat up to form clear circles in the corner of the eye. No need to wait a long time, the clear circle plunged and glided free from the frame.

After a long time Cahya had never seen the Clouds holding dirty dishes, now the man rolled back his shirt arms to touch the things that stacked the laundry sink. His memory seemed to bring him back to the memory of the past, where he and Cloud worked together to do household chores. Although the economic condition of his family at the time was not as lucky as it is today, the affection and warmth really felt.

"Mas, aren't you tired? Let me do it, Mas. You clean yourself up!"

Cahya walked closer to the Clouds who were still busy with dirty dishes that were there. Although sometimes he felt exhausted from doing all the homework himself, but he did not have the heart to see the Cloud working on it.

"It's okay Ay. It seems like I haven't done this job in a long time. I used to do this job, right?"

The clouds only responded casually to the wife's words as she continued her work. While Cahya can only smile thinly while rinsing dishes that have been wrapped by soap washing foam. He rinsed the plate under the faucet.

"You want to wash these dirty dishes, Mom? It's been a long time since you've done the dishes."

The clouds let out a long breath and then he exhaled slowly. He must be clever to master himself so that his acting is not known by the wife.

"I realize I was wrong for suing you too much, Ay."

"What makes you suddenly realize that you've been wrong for suing me so much?"

Sometimes Cahya is still shackled by curiosity about what makes her husband suddenly realize his mistake. Although the attitude shown by the Cloud was the same as before, the woman seemed to be curious about the reason.

The clouds stopped his activity for a moment. He put down some of the dishes that were still dirty. He shifted his body slightly to be able to look at Cahya's body.

"That's because of one of the ustadz that I accidentally heard over the radio in the car while I was driving, Ay!"

"What is it about Mas?"

"About family. It would be very long if I told you here. Clearly, after I listened to that lecture, I increasingly realized that the attitude I've been showing you lately has been very outrageous." The clouds grabbed Cahya's palm for her to hold tightly. "I'm really sorry Ay. I've decided one thing!"

Cahya's eyelids narrowed with a frowning forehead. "Decide on one thing? What is Mas?"

"I decided to find a housekeeper to help you with homework. I'll also look for a security guard to keep the house!"

Cahya was taken aback by the words thrown by the Clouds. If it was about the housekeeper, he could still accept. But if for security, why is this husband looking for security?

"Security? What's Mas for? I don't think I need to find security because this house is safe."

The clouds again let out a rough breath. The man's face also looks a little pias. "Actually I still hesitate to tell you Ay. But how else."

Cahya was increasingly made to wonder the purpose of the husband's words.

"What the hell do you mean? I really don't understand. Try to explain."

"After the next three days, I have to divide my time in this city and in the city of Semarang, Ay. In Semarang there are many problems so I have to be there often. I decided on Monday to Thursday I was in Jogja, while Friday to Sunday, I was in Semarang."

The clouds shake their heads. "I understand Ay, but how else. It's all for the good name of the company I've worked so hard to build and raised. If all is done, it will be back to how it was."

"Can't you go back? Your weekend is at home while your weekdays are in Semarang?" tanya Cahya negotiated.

"Can't Ay. It's a decision I made." The clouds gently caressed the wife's cheeks with her fingers. A sweet smile rose on her lips. "Then I got security for you, Ay. Besides he can keep the house, he can also be a private driver who can take you where you want when you are saturated."

"But it's not security that me and the kids want, but you. If things go anywhere I can also do it myself without a driver."

"Trust me, it's all temporary. If all the problems in Semarang are done. My routine will return as it was. Okay?"

Cahya looked silent and dissolved in her own mind. He tried to keep thinking positive but he could not deny if a bit of bad thoughts were milling around in his brain. After all, everything the Clouds said seemed absurd.

Cahya let out a little heavy breath. As much as possible he got rid of those bad thoughts first. However, his relationship with the Clouds has just improved and the attitude shown by the Clouds is as ever.

"All right then. I can only pray for you, that your footsteps may be blessed by Allah. Remember, little time is still there, please use it for the kids."

The clouds kissed Cahya's forehead gently. "Yes, I promise. Will use the time available for the children."

"Alright Mas. I stay yes. It's time to bathe Mom. You finish this dishwashing. If you like me, please help me to sweep the yard as well. Many leaves fell after the rain, "pinta Cahya with laughter echoing.

"Ready Queen. I will do it!" claw the Clouds by bowing his back a little.

Cahya chuckled amusedly at the behavior of these clouds as they waltzed away to approach the mother who was still on the terrace accompanying the children.

"Mother, take a shower first yuk. Later kesorean."

Marni looked at the daughter-in-law's face. His heart warmed up when he saw the happy twinkle that looked so obvious. He believes that the relationship of the child and his son-in-law has returned to harmony as usual.

"Mom see, you're such a happy boy? What's up?"

Cahya gave her a little smile. He holds the shoulder of Marni who is still faithful sitting in this wheelchair.

"My old Cloud Bag is back, ma'am. In the kitchen he was doing the dishes, exactly the same when we started our business. Cahya is so happy, Mom!"

"Alhamdulillah ... I'm happy for Ay. It turns out that your patience all along has melted Awan's heart to change his attitude."

"Yes ma'am, thank God!"

Cahya and Marni are so happy because they can see the attitude of the Cloud back as usual, very much different from the Cloud itself. While washing the dishes, the man was endlessly smiling. His heart was satisfied that he could play this charade perfectly.

Haha ... I don't know if it's Friday, Saturday and Sunday that I said I'm going to use to have fun and spend time with Mega.

Cahm ... Cahm ... It turns out it's very easy to fool you. Just being given a little attention, bought luxury items and helped wash dishes, you are not at all suspicious.
