After performing the prayer, Ara and Alan went to bed.
"Bi, tomorrow Ara's out with Jane huh?" tanya Ara leaned on the head of the bed while hugging the bolster pillow.
"Where?" alan asked while opening the laptop.
"Mall, can ya bi?"
"Hmmm... What time?" ask Alan again.
"Em, maybe around 2 p.m. All the stock shopping of kitchen materials bi, already want to run out in the refrigerator." said Ara.
"Yes, then go straight home. Don't go anywhere else" Alan said without seeing his wife.
"Ok, thank you bi." said Ara with enthusiasm. He pulled out his blanket and went to sleep. But quickly broken by Alan.
"Who told you to sleep?" alan pulled out Ara's blanket.
"Hubby, so Ara wants to do something else if not sleep? Hubby is busy with his second wife. The first wife has to give dong," said Ara again pulled the blanket.
"Hubby work baby, any money will be for you too" said Alan. Ara who heard that immediately rounded her eyes.
"So hubby's not sincerely giving a living to Ara?" asked Ara pursed her lips.
"If you're not sincere about your marriage hubby? hubby works for you too, baby. For the sake of a mouthful of rice, for us and our future children later," said Alan rubbed Ara's head. Ara who heard her husband's words immediately blushed. She smiled as she looked at her husband's handsome face.
"Hubby loves Ara since when?" ask Ara.
"Since you've talked a lot" replied Alan.
"Ck, seriously bi!" ara exclaimed while hitting Alan's arm. Alan smiled, he kissed Ara's head quickly.
"So, hubby doesn't know when to start loving you" Alan said. He returned to his laptop. Ara rested her head on Alan's shoulders.
"Hubby, if Ara gets ugly. Hubby's still in love, isn't she Ara?" ask Ara again.
"Depends" Alan replied briefly. Ara who heard that instantly pinched her husband's arm. Alan laughed while grimacing in pain.
"Hmmm... Ara wants fried rice bi," said Ara who arrived just want super spicy fried rice. Alan frowned confusedly, not usually Ara asked for something at night.
"You cravings?" tanya Alan put her laptop on the table. With a spirit Alan placed his ear on Ara's stomach. The surprised Ara could only keep quiet.
"Bi, what's the matter?" asked Ara confused.
"You're cravings, right? Hubby is listening to whether our son is talking" Alan said. Ara pushed Alan's body away from her.
"Ck, Ara just wants fried rice. What does this have to do with cravings? Lagian Ara did not feel anything," said Ara getting out of bed. Alan was a little disappointed by Ara's words. He looked at his wife who was about to leave the room.
"May it really happen dear, I've been looking forward to his presence." Alan smiled as he continued to stare at the back of his wife who started to disappear behind the door.
Ara started to busy herself in the kitchen with some cooking ingredients. Because he wants fried rice, Ara intends to make fried rice village that the mother usually makes. Carefully Ara chopped onions and some chili.
"Alhamdulillah," he said when his work was done. He brought a plate of fried rice to the dining table.
"Hmmm... It must be delicious. Bismillahirahmanirahim,"
Ara began to insert a mouthful for a mouthful of homemade fried rice. He enjoyed himself and forgot the husband who had been watching him in the doorway.
"So you're eating alone now? Forgetting your own husband?" alan asked who managed to surprise Ara. Ara immediately turned her head, she smiled as she saw Alan standing up while folding both hands.
"Hubby want?" ask Ara casually.
"It wasn't, but the smell was so good hubby's stomach was also asking to be filled" Alan said sitting next to Ara.
"Hubby just take it yourself there, Ara again eat." Ara continued to eat regardless of her husband. Alan let out a long sigh, then walked over to pick up the fried rice made by his beloved wife.
"Disregarding the husband is a sin" whispered Alan right in Ara's ear. Alan smiled and sat down next to Ara who was now looking at him.
"Emang Ara ignored hubby?" asked Ara innocently.
"Yes, make some orange juice. Do not use ice and sugar. Oranges in squeezed hands, do not use tools." Alan's request without hesitation. Ara's mouth was slightly open, she had never heard this Alan in asking for anything.
"Hubby cravings? Why is the request so strange?" ara looked at Alan in wonder.
"You don't want to make it?" alan asked back.
"Yes Ara make it, but sure you don't use sugar?" ask Ara again to convince. Alan was enthusiastic. Ara got up from her seat and immediately went to make juice according to her husband's request. A smile rose from Ara's tiny lips.
"This is the juice, without ice, without sugar and squeezed with the heart" said Ara put a glass filled with juice on the table. Ara sat down and continued eating. Alan smiled and immediately gulped his juice up the toilet.
"Well, sweet as you are" said Alan, who nearly choked Ara.
"Sweet? Strange base," said Ara shaking her head. No one knows what happened to her husband.
After clearing everything up, Ara returned to the room. He sees Alan still busy with a flat object on his lap. Ara crawled onto the bed, leaning on her husband's shoulder. Ara closed her eyes as drowsiness began to attack her. His full stomach adds to the drowsiness increasingly becoming. Alan smiled as he watched Ara fall asleep on his shoulder. He kissed Ara's forehead with affection.
"I love you, nice dream honey.. "

The visitors at the mall look quite crowded. Inside the crowd, Ara was walking with Jane. They look very happy, sometimes looking a smile from their lips.
"Well the shoes are good, let's see yuk." Jane pulls Ara's hand and takes her into a sizable shoe store. Ara was very sure the price of shoes there was quite expensive.
"Ara, what is this?" jane asked enthusiastically while showing Ara a pair of sneakers.
"If this one?" ask Jane to show me another model. Ara nodded back. Jane was so upset, she looked at Ara fixedly.
"Don't tell me you don't know a good model?" jane asked looking at Ara full of search. Ara smiled clumsily, she nodded slowly. Jane patted his head in disbelief with his best friend's wife.
"Looks like I should teach you, come along." Jane pulls Ara's hand. He pointed at some shoes while explaining to Ara. Ara just nodded her head.
"How do you understand?" ask Jane. Ara smiled and nodded.
"Ok, we'll go somewhere else." take Jane back to pull Ara's hand. They continued to browse through several clothing stores and various other accessories.
"Huh, tired too" said Ara. They are currently in a restaurant. Ara placed some paper bags under the table.
"Today you must treat me, tired of knowing to be an impromptu teacher." said Jane. Ara laughed crisply.
"Ok, no problem. Order at will," said Ara. Jane looked very happy, she immediately opened the menu and ordered some food.
While waiting for the order to come, they chatted.
"Ra, would you like to ask dong?"
"Ask what?"
"Em, how can you be so patient in staying away from your husband? There must be a lot of trials, right?" jane asked so curious. Ara smiled at Jane's question.
"Hmm.definitely many. But we always instilled trust in each other, fought together. Marriage is to be fought, for without struggle there can be no happiness. Mutually complementing, trusting, supporting, appreciating, and loving each other is included in the struggle of true love."
Jane was flabbergasted to hear Ara's explanation. Now he admits that his best friend was really lucky to get a wife as good as Ara. In fact, not infrequently his friends who do LDR, but ended with a breakup.
'If I could be like that, would I be able to keep the trust?' inner Jane.
"Everyone can do that, as long as our hearts are sincere and always patient. He smiled and held Jane's hand.
"It looks like I should learn from you, be a patient woman." Jane clasped Ara's hand.
Not long after their order arrived. Without thinking long they immediately ate each of them because their stomachs continue to rebel asking in the contents.
"Ra, I think I should go to the toilet first. Wait a minute, will you?" said Jane who was immediately answered nod by Ara.
"Basic, freshly filled has been thrown away again" said Ara sweeping her lips with a tissue.
"Excuse me!" said a man who was now standing in front of Ara.
Ara immediately raised her head, she was very surprised when she saw the figure she had met before.But she was confused, where previously this man she met. Ara kept thinking hard to remember the man.
"Sorry to interrupt, I just want to talk for a moment" said the man sitting in front of Ara. Ara immediately panicked, she got up from her seat.
"Not to be afraid, I just want to ask you something. Sit down, don't be afraid." said the man calmly. Ara sat back down, she glanced at the man a glance.
"Sorry, can I talk now?" ask Ara quickly. The man looked at Ara so fixedly, making Ara even more restless.
"Are you married?" ask the man. Ara was very surprised, Ara immediately showed a ring on her ring finger.
"I'm married, my husband's here too." lied Ara. He looked back, hoping Jane would come back soon.
"I don't see a man with you, are you lying?" asked the man looking for the truth in Ara's eyes. Ara immediately lowered her head. Jane hurry back, Ara.
"My husband is not coming, but I am married" Ara assured the man. But the man still sat there.
"A few months ago I saw you at restaurant x, I started to get interested in you" the man said without hesitation. Ara was very surprised, she recalled the first time she came here. Someone kept watching him. Yeah, it's this guy.
"Professor?" exclaim Jane who just arrived and see the man who is currently sitting in front of Ara. Ara was again shocked when she heard Jane's call to the man before her.
'don't tell me he's the professor Alan talks about?'
"Jane, you're here too. So that one sitting here was you?" asked the man with a big smile.
"Yes, what are you doing here? You guys know each other, right?" jane pointed at Ara.
"Yes/no." Ara answered Jane's question along with the man. Jane scrunched her forehead.
"We just got to know each other" said the professor.
"Jane, can we go home now. Alan called me." Ara got up from her seat. The professor who heard Ara's words was shocked.
"Alan? You mean Arlan?" tanyakanya.
"Yes Prof, she's Arlan's wife. Beautiful isn't?" jane answered so excitedly.
"Owh, it turns out the world is so narrow." murmured the man.
"Huh? You mean Prof?" jane was confused. Ara pulls Jane's hand.
"I want to go home" Ara said, picking up some of her groceries. Jane, who sees Ara's strange attitude, takes her groceries.
"I'm sorry prof, we have to go home soon. Excuse me," said Jane who was immediately pulled away by Ara.
"What's wrong?" jane asked when they were in Jane's car. Ara put on her seatbelt, she caught her breath. Ara massaged her forehead, her head feeling so dizzy.
"Are you ok?" jane asked, worried about Ara's condition. His face looked pale with sweat pouring down his forehead. Ara looked at Jane while shaking her head.
"I'm just tired" said Ara, resuscitating her head at the head of the chair. He touched her stomach and stroked her slowly. Jane looked at Ara from behind the mirror.
'it looks like he's really tired, just let him sleep.'
Jane's car was traveling at a very fast speed. Jane chose a shortcut to drive Ara. He knew right now that Ara was in need of rest.
