The night is getting late. Three nights sleeping on a velvet carpet, Ammar's body felt pain in his back. He has not exercised for a month. Makes his body a little spoiled.
"Ar, tonight I can sleep in my bed. My body hurts all." said Ammar, unclothed his shirt.
Arumi just shut up. He saw Ammar looking for a change of clothes in his closet. He does not know if the married wife at least wants to always serve her husband in any case, in terms of clothing, food and drink even until time together. But Ammar doesn't demand that his wife be that perfect. He is usually taught to do anything on his own for personal needs even though there are many household assistants at home.
"I want to pick up Ifah tomorrow. I'm lonely." Said Arumi who did not respond to Ammar's words.
"Get out of the room. Until when you will be in the room. I can't possibly still say you're sick. There is also no way you will eat in the room. C'mon Ar. Life is still going on. Failing doesn't mean dying or Noah's mother's self." Said Ammar who closed the windows and curtains of his room.
Arumi was silent. Ammar went up to the bed. He pulled the blanket to his stomach. He could not sleep but the smell of his wife's body made his mind to have Arumi completely so dusty. He tried to tilt his body so as not to smell his wife's body. But it still doesn't feel good.
"Ar ...," said Ammar.
There's no answer.
Ammar turned his body towards his wife. Arumi was still looking at him. Ammar tried to put one hand over Arumi's waist. But his wife's soft hand was tightly holding her wrist. Ammar swallowed his rough salivary.
"You promised not to touch me." Arumi.
Ammar. He got up from his bed. He sat down and rubbed his face and head many times. There was a sense of dizziness in the head, a sense of tightness in the chest and there was a sense of heat in his body because of one new taste he felt. Ammar also felt it was impossible to be near his wife with her inner condition that was so eager to have a full Arumi. Which man can resist the urge to beat his wife.
When the body is beautiful, the beautiful wife always draws her eyes. The smell of the body due to perfume, bath soap and even shampoo that seems to be deliberately prepared by the mother in her room makes Arumi's body scent so crazy into the lung cavity Ammar. That night he was unable to stay in the room. He left the room, he did not want to hook his wife in a state that his wife still loves another man. He doesn't want to be selfish. Where the pleasure behind the blanket only himself who feels the peak of satisfaction while his partner tormented the inner.
For him a seed to be planted in his wife's womb must have a container that also wants the womb. He had even heard some lectures from his favorite Ulama. If the relationship int!m husband and wife both tempestuous equally high h@sratnya. Then the seed planted earlier will be smart when becoming a child.
He left the room and went to the swimming pool. Ammar thought everyone was asleep in their rooms. Ayra's eldest swam in the middle of the night to cool down her h@sratnya. He didn't notice when he came out of his dive. He put his face on the edge of the pool. A pair of eyes from behind the window of his room observed him.
Ammar was even seen repeatedly immersing his body into the bottom of the pool. And then show up again. He swam back and forth. Nearly an hour later, Ayra swam in the middle of the night. Before long he also used his Bathrobe and headed into the house. Ayra could not bear it anymore she rushed down from her room. She gave birth to and raised Ammar. He knows what his son is.
When going down the stairs Ayra is right in the corner of the room that is dark because the lights are turned off. He sat on the side of a fairly large closet. He waited for his son to return to his room.
"There's a problem what son.." Ayra's mind awaits Ammar.
When Ammar went into the room. Ayra brought herself closer to the door. Ammar who saw Arumi was on the velvet carpet that he occupied how many nights last.
"Ar. what are you doing. Get on the bed. Let me sleep there." Ammar said slowly.
"I want us to stay apart not in my house or yours! let's not keep on playing the show. I'm tired of running around like this. You don't want to divorce me. And if you're tired of sleeping downstairs. Let me sleep downstairs tonight!" Arumi.
"Arumi.. please can not you continue to say the word divorce. Can't you give me a chance. Open your heart just a little for me Ar... Can't you see my love is so great for you?" Said Ammar sitting at the end of Arumi's legs.
Ayra sat at the door of Ammar's room. He cannot stand. He could not hold back his tears. He was more willing to fight than his children. An upset with Arumi does not necessarily make Ayra rebuke or swear the daughter-in-law who has hurt her son. That night Ayra awoke and saw her son swimming in the middle of the night. He complained to his Lord. He did not ask the son-in-law to get karma.
He asked God to guide Gusti Allah to soften Arumi's heart, to give guidance to Arumi. He prayed that the marriage of Ammar and Arumi would last until death separated. And happy not only in the world but to heaven.
"God, give happiness to Arumi and my son. Open my daughter-in-law's heart to her husband. Make Arumi a wife who can make my son happy. And may my son be patient with his wife. There shall be no divorce among the sons of Rabb's servant..." Ayra even fell asleep on her tongue. Still wrapped face to face, still holding a wooden bagbih that has somehow been replaced by the rope because so love Ayra on the object that faithfully accompanied her two-duaing with oral dhikirnya.
That night the mother and son both fell asleep on the prayer mat. Both gave their Al-Fatihah reading gifts to one name. Equally rewarding the reading of Ya Latif, their prayer recitation for one name, Arumi Mayang Dahayu bint Mr. Subroto.
While Arumi when going to the bathroom. She saw her husband asleep in a sitting state like a final man but with the position of the left leg inserted into the right leg.
Morning at breakfast. Arumi inevitably forced herself to come out. He wears his veil. Arriving at the dining table, his heart pounded unruffled as he saw Gede sitting next to Qiya. There was a happy hue on Gede and Qiya's faces. Ammar's sister was quick to greet her brother-in-law who Ammar could not examine.
"Sister Arumi. Already healthy. Brother Ammar is evil. I'm gonna go check on brother. But it can't be the same, Ammar." She even sat down at Arumi's side and held Arumi's palm.
Ayra observed Arumi and Ammar that morning.
"It's okay. I'm healthy."
All the family members were at the dinner table. All breakfasts are full of wisdom. When I finish breakfast. Bram asked Gede.
"So you're going to Bali tomorrow?" Bram.
"Yes Pa. Mom and Niang were already preparing for the pickle reception one more week. And after the reception maybe we'll go to Qiya Internship." Clearly Gede.
Ammar also conveyed that he wanted to live in his apartment.
"Pa, Mama. Ammar may be the same Arumi later this month in Ammar's apartment to be closer to the office." Ammar.
Ayra who last night heard clearly the real reason of her son and daughter-in-law. He quickly answered.
"Nur, Arumi. Please, Qiya will return to the internship. Ibrahim and Nur asked Umi Laila and Pakde mu to help in Kali Bening. Mama's not ready if you're all gone at the same time. Mama please Arumi, stay here for another month or two. Or until Mama is no longer surprised because Mama's children are married." Pinta Ayra's.
Qiya felt sad from seeing her expression and seeing her Mama's face.
"Betul Brother. Poor Mama. Later wait another 4 months I finished the internship let me accompany Mama. Toh Mas Gede also could not move to another place after I finished the internship." Pinta Qiya while holding Arumi's hand.
Ammar looked at Arumi.
"Am-" New Ammar wants to give an explanation again. Arumi answered quickly.
"Alright Ma. But Ifah wants Arumi picked up today. I can't be far from Ifah." said Arumi. Ayra quickly stood up and hugged Arumi.
"Thank you, Ar...."
Bram, Ammar and Qiya instead failed to focus with Ayra's expression. The hostess was not an expressive woman. But just now the mother of three children was very happy.
"Mama can't get into your household. But Mama will help you find space in your partner's heart."Ayra said in her heart. He will only help his son get the love of his wife in silence. In prayer.
Arumi has other plans.
"At least I'm not home with that guy. And Ammar won't mess with me because of a house with his parents." Thought Arumi in his heart.
"Hhhh... Hope you can open your heart to me soon Ar." Ammar is still busy with his love.
Everyone was happy that morning. Without them knowing Ayra's daughter kept her heart wound tight. Not even his bedmate knew he was hurt. For all he knew, his wife felt pain after a relationship. Even before the early hours of this morning the heart of the daughter of Ayra was again hurt because of the lips of Gede who again mentioned a name in his sleep when they had just felt tired of enjoying the paradise of the world in their bridal room.
"What happened to you. I see your eyes are on me. But why is it that every night you sleep there's always that woman. May I be present in your heart, your dreams, not just in your consciousness" Qiya said in her heart as the couple looked at each other for sitting across.
