In the family dining room, the morning before the family is active in the routine.
Ivy dominates the conversation. Holly only answered as necessary Ivy's question or Ci Cun's question about the cafe. Tenry sat quietly beside Holly, now he was adamant about having Holly breakfast.
A realization came at last that his wife tended to be silent even passively, many times Tenry asked but Holly always answered nothing. Since then Tenry again acted possessively, even at the dinner table Holly could not refuse to be fed or taken to drink by the husband, despite having to ignore the phrase Ivy temptation and the glance in-law.
"Udah? There are many more..."
"Coko took it mostly, already knew Lingling ate it a little..."
Holly answered softly, her eyes glanced for a moment at the half-dish plate. His hand grabbed a glass of warm chocolate but preceded the husband who then brought the glass closer to his mouth.
"Hadeeh Koko, like Nso Lingling can't eat the same drink alone..."
Ivy is cynical about her Kokonya from across the table, she repeatedly sees her brother-in-law protesting with her Kokonya attitude but Kokonya doesn't care.
"Snap there, the pickup car is already there..."
Tenry glared and continued to serve his wife to spend warm chocolate until the last drop.
"If I have a boyfriend, do not want to be like Koko, too possessive I am not free can not say anything, too cranky.. diiiih..."
"Little kids go to school there..."
Tenry answered ketus with a sharp eye glare made Ivy stand up to take his bag and then part. Ci Cun seemed to care less, she learned to refrain from judging her son or daughter-in-law now, they had their own lives, had their own habits. He only still intervened for matters concerning their business matters only.
Ivy is back soon...
"Anterin Ko..."
"You're too relaxed, the car horn sounds..."
"She comes to the side, usually at this hour is new nyampe here. when I do not have breakfast..."
"I'm the one with De..."
Holly stood up from her seat, but held back Tenry's hand.
"Sir Ling. we want to see our house, the interior has finished yesterday.ask Om Fecky De..."
"Om Fecky is papa's driver now, the Ode again asked to stop temporarily, his wife gave birth..."
Mama chimed.
"Ma... Dede just bring his own car..."
"Park where? Students can't park cars in your schoolyard, wonder what your school rules are..."
The Koko who responded now.
"Let the student not bring Ko's car, the yard as large as it will not be able to accommodate the student's car... If found, like to be asked SIM also..."
"Do you have a SIM?"
"Udah dong, right with Nso Lingling care about it. Aided by his ex-cute cop Cici..."
Ivy repeated asking permission...
"Mama? Dede's late... Dede, bring a car..."
"Yes..."
My mother answered short. For a matter like this Ci Cun is not a strict mama, she is just a mama who will count about luxury spending and a dirty mama when it comes to appearance, about the values and norms that she espouses.
"Find a safe parking space De..."
"Siyaaap Ko.." cried Ivy who had reached the exit.
Tenry got up and gently pulled the wife's hand.
"Look at our house..."
Holly follows her husband's steps towards the front of this house, where lies their newly completed home building adjoining Cici Beyvie's house. There are several other houses that are still in the works, all belong to Tenry's cousin, apparently some kapling has been sold Ko Siong specifically for their relatives only.
Two-storey house painted white both walls and frames, minimalist modern style with some black accents on the facade of the house.
"Like the park?"
Tenry asked as they walked into the courtyard of the house without the fence.
"Like..."
The house has been completed one hundred percent, the interior work is finished and the furniture is complete, just inhabited.
"Let's slowly move our stuff..."
Tenry held his wife's two shoulders while moving from room to room, touring in their new home.
"Like the kitchen?"
Tenry smiled as he looked at his wife's serious expression, his little heart saying his wife did not show any enthusiasm for their home, even though he had said he liked it, not as enthusiastic as they often stop here home from work when the house building is ready and in the finishing stage.
"Look at our room..."
Tenry guided Holly up to the second floor. There were only three large rooms above with a spacious living room, the widest room was the room of the two of them.
Holly only looked at their room at a glance, while Tenry checked the interior in the room, something was not in accordance with his wishes. Holly moved towards the other room facing their room, there were two rooms there, she once asked for something for one of those rooms.
When entering the room was a feeling of disappointment immediately stormed, in moving to the room next door was not the same as he asked the husband at that time. Sorrowfully Holly rushed downstairs, the sound of her footsteps being heard by Tenry.
"Baby... Have you finished looking around?"
Holly did not answer just continue in a hurry, hunting down the tears that had invaded the tip of the eye, sad to have mastered the heart, and, it turned out that her husband did not accommodate the interior of the child's room as he had asked before, and it showed that the child was not in the calculation and priority of her husband for their lives ahead in this house.
"Darling..."
Tenry immediately chased after Holly, from where he could see the look on his wife's face that was holding back tears. Just before Holly reaches the exit Tenry's hand has captured his wife's tiny body.
"Lingling... why?"
Tenry saw the tears coming from his wife's eyes unstoppable with the sound of a sad cry like that night. The weeping of the weary wife endured her own frustrations and disappointments, the cries born from her string of grief that culminated today.
"My baby..."
Tenry hugged his wife with a heart wondering what had happened.
"What's the matter dear... tell Koko yes... why is it so easy now to be sad? What's problem?"
The crying became more and more in the husband's arms, his shoulders shook violently and Tenry was shocked by his wife's reaction to crying in a way he had never seen before.
"Darling..."
The vibration of his wife's body made Tenry hug tightly, giving many kisses on the head as his hands rubbed that head. Tenry waited until Holly's cry subsided without stopping the kiss on the head.
Tenry lifted the body of his wife who lost power due to the pressure of his emotions, hugging affectionately while moving towards the cream color leather sofa. He sat there with his wife's arm, dried the tears on the face that was still happy, stroked the cheek affectionately, then returned to kiss the wife's face lovingly.
His heart also pinched seeing the overflow of emotions wife in her sad cry. In silent flashbacks of his wife's one-on-one attitude sprang up. There was no indulgence, no rebuttal or question every time they spoke, just a nod of approval for whatever Tenry asked. At first he thought because of a toothache so the wife was lazy to talk, but when he went to the dentist there was no problem with his wife's teeth.
When concluding the attitude of the wife who tends to be passive to him, Tenry so know now there is a problem that the wife keeps and it relates to her.
"Darling..."
Tenry gently kissed Holly's forehead before continuing his sentence.
"Lingling hurt like Koko huh?"
Their faces were so close, Holly's head was on her chest, Tenry was holding Holly's chin with one hand pointing that face until their eyes were fixed. There were still clear crystals coming out from his wife's two eyes. Slowly Tenry wiped with his thumb.
"I'm sorry, Koko?"
My wife started crying again... Tenry's heart was shaken when he understood that he was the source of his wife's grief.
"Darling... Koko apologizes, Koko loves Lingling, sorry for making Lingling sad and crying so much..."
Tenry kissed both of his wife's eyes, the salty taste of those sad tears sparking the same tears escaped from his own eyes.
"Sorry baby... Koko breaks her promise, Koko once said she will not make Lingling cry again.Ling is sad because of Koko..."
The couple was now fused in a cry, a cry that began to glue their inner selves together again, that they were soulful.
After the emotions unraveled, the flood of tears changed the flood of kisses and the flood of love sentences, until finally the two could smile at each other. Holly is now no longer reluctant to stick spoiled in the chest of her husband, the warmth of the hug she once tried to get rid of from her heart, is now the one thing she misses the most and does not want to get out of there.
"You know Koko. what makes Lingling this sad... Koko knew it was about Koko..."
Tenry spoke softly while arranging the child's hair on his wife's temple, lips again stopped for a moment in the nose of his wife's bangir.
"I have no doubt, Koko does not want Lingling sad again because of it, so. now tell Koko..."
Tenry stared gently in love with a smile, hoping that the wife could take off all her mounds whatever they were.
"Coko doesn't know at all?"
His wife's voice finally sounded.
"Yes.. forgive Koko... that's why the story.... yes?"
Holly took a slow breath, yes it was time to open up, her heart was tired of saving itself.
"Lingling was disappointed with Koko. because Koko did not want Lingling pregnant, Koko did not want to have a child from Lingling... mama although never asked directly why Lingling is not pregnant, but mama always talked about how the face of our two children later... Lingling sad Ko... Koko also did not talk to mama that Lingling Koko forced to take the pill..."
The iron wife who talked before now complained about her disappointment. Tenry made his heavy breath slowly, about the child turned out. he thought all this time if they had agreed on it...
