Rahim My Friend
Chapters. 39

"Hows it? Are you feeling much better?" Ali again closed the grease she used to massage Jenny's legs. The man was happy to be able to massage his wife like now. "If it still feels sore, just say it. Let me go on a massage again. But not the waist because a pregnant woman should not have her waist massaged."

Jenny shook her head slowly. "It's much better. Thank you, my husband." Jenny looked towards the window and daydreamed. "Sir Ali knows a lot of information about pregnant women. She's really happy when she finds out I'm pregnant and she's looking for that detailed information" Jenny said.

"You look cursory. Shouldn't a pregnant woman gain weight?" Ali held his wife's arm and compared it to hers. "There has to be fat here. Why do I only hold bones!"

"really?" Jenny held her cheek with both hands. "I feel a little fat now. I have to get treatment again after this kid's born." Again Jeni tried to divert the conversation.

Ali looked at Jenny's face so seriously that it made Jenny misbehave. "Why is Brother Ali looking at me like that? Have I looked weird since I got pregnant?"

"You look more beautiful. Your face is getting radiant" Ali praised. "I went to the kitchen to clean my hands."

Ali immediately got up and walked towards the kitchen. Jenny was on the couch. He picked up the remote and tuned in to his favorite television broadcast while waiting for Ali to come back.

In the kitchen I accidentally met Nirma. The woman looks difficult when she wants to take instant noodles in the top drawer. Ali, who happens to be in the kitchen, immediately helps Nirma to retrieve it.

"Other times ask someone else for help to do it if you can't reach it Ali said as he gave her the instant noodles she had just picked up.

"Thank you" said Nirma while receiving the instant noodles.

Without saying much more, Ali immediately washed his hands and made pregnant women's milk that was already neatly arranged in the kitchen there. Nirma glanced at Ali at a glance before starting to cook the instant noodles. Nirma wanted Jenny's help to do it. But now Ali is always on Jenny's side to make Nirma not free to ask Jenny for help. While the workers in the house were also on break.

"Oh," Nirma groaned as she stepped back. It turned out that the woman accidentally touched the part of the pot that she used to cook instant noodles. Ali was also still in the kitchen and soon approached Nirma.

"What's wrong?" ask Ali. The man immediately turned off the stove when he saw Nirma's instant noodles were ripe.

"It's okay. Just then my hand accidentally touched the pot," Nirma pointed towards the pot that became her cooking container. "Where is Jenny? Why did you leave him alone?"

"Oh yeah if I can figure out where your husband works? Who knows if we know each other and are in the same business."

Already since yesterday Ali wanted to ask this matter but he has not had a chance. Ever since Jenny and Nirma became friends, Ali has always wanted to know the lives of those around her. He also did not want to until his wife mismanaged.

"My husband?" Nirma looked confused to answer Ali's question.The woman shifted her eyes while thinking.

"Yes. Your husband, Miss."

"Actually my husband is just an ordinary person.There is no way he knows you, sir. I feel ashamed to tell my husband's work. I feel uncomfortable telling you that." Nirma held back her sentence for a moment. "I'm sorry Sir If you're disappointed to hear my answer."

"Oh no, actually I want to apologize for interfering too much with your personal problems. Is not your husband's job the privacy of your family. I shouldn't have asked like that. I'm sorry."

Ali took the milk he had made. The milk was warm and ready to be drunk by Jenny. Without saying much, the man immediately left the kitchen to where his wife was.

After Ali left, Nirma returned to breathing. "Almost. If Mr. Ali keeps on being in this villa. Not only did Jenny have a heart attack, but so did I. Because anytime that man could ask me things that were beyond my expectations," Inner Nirma. The woman returned to take care of the instant noodles she cooked because her stomach was already very hungry.

"this drink alim give a glass of milk that he has made to Jenny. "immediately spend while warm, said Ali again.

"good boss replied Jenny while smiling sweetly the woman received the milk given by Ali and waited for her slowly.Since Ali was in the villa Jenny had to drink Nirma's pregnant milk. this is all he did to complete his lie.

"I was thinking that Kak Ali got lost in this villa because Kak Ali was in the kitchen too long." Jenny placed the empty glass on the woman's table to make her husband's arm as a pillow and leaned so spoiled.he hugged her husband's body and inhaled the man's scent while closing his eyes. "Thank you for marrying me. Thank you for wanting to be the man who accepts me for who I am."

Ali smiled at the praise coming out of his wife's lips. The man rubbed Jenny's hair affectionately while watching the television that was in front of him.

"If it's like this, I don't want to go to work anymore. I want you to always be by my side."

Jenny scrunched her forehead hearing Ali's words. The woman immediately took off her embrace. "Don't be like that. Isn't work important too? Sis Ali do not remember how difficult it was when we pioneered the time of marriage first? Don't let the work we've done end in vain."

"If I count back, the money we have is enough to meet our needs even though I did not work for 1 year. Money can be found, but togetherness cannot be. I want to be by your side every day and take care of you like this. Looking at our fetal growth from month to month." Ali's face became more serious, causing Jenny to panic.

"Yes, I know that our savings are enough. Even the emergency fund we prepare is enough to meet the needs of our lives for 3 years even though we do not work. There's actually one thing I want to say to Kak Ali. But I'm afraid Ali will take offense." Jenny looked down and put on a guilty face.

"What's up, honey? Quickly tell me. Don't make me feel so calm."

"I knew after hearing this Kak Ali would think badly of me." Jenny lifted her face and looked at Ali. She did not forget that she was holding both hands of her husband. "When I was a girl I read an article that a wife hated her husband when she was pregnant. This wife is very in love with her husband. I couldn't believe it and even thought that this wife was making it up. Actually what makes pregnant women can hate someone like that? But now I'm experiencing it. During pregnancy I hated Brother Ali. Don't even want to be close to Kak Ali often. But all this time I tried to hide it so that Kak Ali was not offended. I'm sorry." Jenny put on a face so Ali wouldn't scold her. Especially to blame him.

Ali was silent for a moment with an unreadable expression. It makes Jenny's heart pounding more and more unbecoming. He was afraid if Ali suspected and made the lies that he had neatly arranged exposed.

But a few seconds later Ali just chuckled amused as if there was something funny there. The man pulled Jenny and rubbed her back gently. "I'm guessing that there's something wrong with your pregnancy!"

Deg.

Jenny looked like a rock. The woman did not even have the strength to keep her body away from Ali's embrace.

"Since you were pregnant you were no longer the Jenny I knew. You look so different and seem to be avoiding me. Turns out this is the answer. Do you know baby, even yesterday I thought that you no longer love me so much that you don't want to be alone with me. But now I feel relieved after hearing the reason directly from your lips. I won't be angry. I'll try to excuse him for our son. If it's like this, I'll feel calm when I leave you. If you really feel uncomfortable when I'm by your side, I'll go. Tomorrow I will leave this villa and resume my work. We can video call every day to let go of longing."

Jenny's face looks radiant to hear the words of Ali. He did not think that the sentence he just said could protect him. "Sir Ali's not really angry?" ask Jenny to come back to make sure.

"Why am I angry? If I am angry with you, it is the same as being angry with the child in your womb. Mama once said that every pregnant woman has her own uniqueness. Even Mama had told me that there was a pregnant woman who could not inhale the scent of her husband's body. Ever since I heard Mama's words, I've been trying to brace myself to accept the possibility that happened when you were pregnant."

Jenny hugged Ali tightly. "Thank you, Ali. During this parting I will definitely miss Brother Ali very much. I hope Kak Ali can take care of herself and keep her heart from being tempted by other women."

"I will always be a faithful husband. I will never betray our marriage."

Jenny closed her eyes while smiling happily. "If I'm honest, I don't want to stay away from you. Even every second I want to be in your arms like this. But how else? This false pregnancy cannot be revealed. I must be willing to be tormented by longing rather than see you disappointed by not having children" Jenny murmured inwardly.
