The Childish Husband
Fragrance Perfume
Now the clock is right at 18:45, and Ben hasn't come home yet. Lestari waited for her husband with worry and anxiety.
"Ouch, Beben. I haven't been home yet, either" he said to himself. He is waiting for Ben on the porch. He sat on a chair made of rattan. There were a lot of plants and flowers, but his view was not drawn to it. She was waiting for her husband.
Fifteen minutes later, Ben finally arrived home.
"Buben!" said Lestari while embracing tightly the body of the husband's burly. He misses Ben a lot. Normally, Ben would throw tantrums all day. Then make Lestari nag incessantly.
But now, it can't anymore. Ben's too obedient to her. I don't know why Lestari became homesick with her former husband. The figure that often makes noise, a childish figure, it turns out all that now can only be missed Lestari.
"My dear baby" lirih Lestari in Ben's arms. Ben was silent from then on. He also returned Lestari's embrace. But, a word did not come out of his lips. "You're overtime, huh, honey?" ask Lestari.
He started calling Ben affectionately. His affection for Ben is now millions of times more than before. Not only because it is now more often left behind, but also because Lestari hormones are pregnant so you want to be spoiled more often.
"Yes" said Ben briefly. "I'm gonna take a shower first." Ben intended to end the hug. But Lestari prevented it.
At that time, Lestari seemed to breathe the scent of perfume which did not belong to her husband. Instantly he pegged.
Deg.
Heart's beating. He was really afraid that what Bu Eni felt, would be felt by him as well. But, I can't. He tried to shake his bad thoughts. He must always think positive so that what happens to him is also positive things.
"Oh, let's take a shower, honey. Let me get you some change, yeah. After that, eat right away. I've prepared everything for you." Lestari is that art. Even though she is no longer young, she still wants to give the best for her husband.
"But, I'll go with friends" said Ben made Lestari's heart sliced. "But dinner first, right? Same with me," asked Lestari to make sure. He was afraid he was wrong to listen.
After all, he had also been holding back hunger to wait for Ben. She wants to enjoy dinner with her beloved husband.
"No. I had a meeting with a friend in the office, and I ate there," Ben said as he walked into the house, he rushed to his room. Meanwhile, Lestari was trailing from behind.
"That busiest shit right now?" tanya Lestari with eyes that welled up. As much as possible, his tears held.
"Yes, Brother. Sorry, yes," said Ben, making the heart of a Lestari unbecoming.
Her husband told her that. Lestari is even exhausted from cooking for Ben. He could have bought the finished food. But, he is willing to cook with great difficulty so that the husband likes to enjoy his wife's food. But, what Lestari got was just like this.
The woman thought hard. Is the cooking maybe not good?
Ben quickly went into the bathroom. He grabbed the towel first. Meanwhile, Lestari was still daydreaming. He reflected and continued to reflect on his cooking.
After a few seconds into the bathroom, Ben returned to the outside but was not yet in a bath. He was still wearing a towel, his body was still dry. Lestari just looked at him.
Ben then grabbed his cell phone lying on the bed. Lestari continued to look at her husband's movements.
"Beben?" call Lestari hard enough towards the bathroom, but Ben did not reply at all.
Sontak Lestari was upset. Ben's change of attitude makes the woman become cranky. Indeed, usually Ben is also cool and cold. This time it was different than before. Somehow certainly, but all can be felt by Lestari.
When Ben has left for a meeting with his co-workers, Lestari accidentally contacts Papa Darman. He asked about the meeting with his office colleagues, whether it was true or just Ben's reason alone.
"Lacking the know, Dance. Papa's been home all day, not feeling well." Papa Darman's answer was not at all satisfactory. Lestari was confused as to who to ask. It was hard to trust her husband.
After hearing the brainstorming of Eni's heart, plus the scent of foreign perfume on Ben's clothes, Lestari could not think positively anymore. Although the evidence is still lacking, but it is only natural that Lestari as a wife began to suspect.
Tired of thinking hard, Lestari also chose to sleep. He can only hug the bolster, even though Ben's hug is needed by him at this time.

Mentari had revealed his face from the eastern horizon. As usual, Ben was getting ready to head to the office. For some reason, lately he has become so excited. Not like before, before work.
Meanwhile, Lestari was still sleeping. His sense of shame is now increasing. In addition to the age factor of the content that is getting older, but also because of the attitude of Ben who is increasingly changing as if to consider Lestari does not exist.
"I'm leaving first" Ben said without making small talk. He prepared his own clothes. Lestari was lazy to do her duty to serve her husband.
"Yes, breakfast's outside, right?" tanya Lestari with a little tart. For a long time, she looked at her husband's face.
"Yes," Ben explained briefly. He hurried to the office.
On the way, Ben did not direct his car to the office. He'll pick up Clara first. Although it takes a long time, and will be late for sure. But, it's okay. He has the right to do anything because he is the son of the owner where he works.
Clara is getting happy because Ben and himself are getting closer every day. Although there is no status, but Ben's treatment of him lately, it is clear that Ben is very fond of him. He had even waited for when Ben would express his feelings.
"Morning, baby," said Clara as she got into Ben's car.
Ben looked at the smile. "Morning too" she replied. His car drove for a while, before finally getting stuck in traffic.
"Well, it's stuck" Clara said spontaneously because she saw the streets were so crowded with vehicles. "Later late, dong," he added.
"Udah is okay. I'll tell Papa later" said Ben casually. Without hesitation, he grabbed the woman's hand. "What matters is that we can both."
Stinging Ben's sweet words, Clara's heart seemed to float. He replied with a smile. "Yes, Ben."
Senbari waiting for the streets to pass, they chose to play the song My Heart Will Go On.
