The End of Hope
42 Eps. Go home

Naya shook her head, looked at Raya and smiled. He sits Yoni in his own baby car seat. The little boy still did not understand and whined. After Naya had finished putting the seat straps together, Naya said.

"Yoni. Be a good boy. Come with papa, later you can come again with aunty at the restaurant, lunch there huh?" said Naya. With a heavy heart the little boy complied and sat quietly in his chair, obeying Naya as if being hypnotized.

Of course Yoni wanted to go with him, because from the first time they met, Naya had been like a magnet to him. Even the assistant who helped with the family's homework thought that Naya was Ares' future wife.

That morning, the elderly household assistant was so strange to see the closeness of Yoni and Naya. The old woman already knew about Yoni's illness and she also kept a great distance from Yoni during her time working in that place.

'Easy then?' Raya.

'Easy then?' Ares.

"Raya, be good at school. Thanks for helping auntie last night."

"Yes, aunt. You're welcome."

"Thank you, sir. It's my nganter." said Naya as she looked back at the two sweet children beside her.

Early this morning when they woke up at dawn, and they returned to the congregational prayers, Ares behaved as if nothing had happened that night, even though he heard everything. Naya also behaved the same, she did not know that Ares knew, she had cried that night.

"Hmm, equally. Your cake is also delicious. I'll just stay in the car. I'll take you to Nha's house."

"Oh, yes. Thank you again then." said Naya as she opened the car door.

After closing the car door, Naya waved her hand, seeing Ares' car moving away, she only hoped that all her homework would be done before lunchtime began.

Naya had to rethink about whether to go home first or immediately work. But considering she was carrying wet clothes to wash and worried about her husband's anger, she decided to go home.

Naya walked calmly towards the house which from outside looked calm. He entered with a greeting while opening the door slowly but no one answered. It is natural to remember that it is still morning. Maybe Rudian and Yola are still sleeping.

'Are they bad luck? If you know they're still sleeping like this, I just knocked on the door, there's no need to use a spare key. Let them wake up.'

Naya sees that her room is still neat, only Rudian's clothes are scattered on the floor and Naya immediately takes care of it. He took a deep breath, giving a smile to himself to be steadfast. Then straighten out his intention, do it all because of God.

"This is also a form of obedience to the husband. So, let's just say it's the husband who told me now. But yes, the husband told me, last night.'

Naya started her work with bismillah. Cleaning the messy dining table, there was almost stale last night food scraps. Piling all the dirty dishes on the table.

Then take her to the dishwasher, and leave all the coror dishes there. Turn on the washing machine, put all the clothes in at once, including Yola's clothes.

'Let there be plenty of laundry. Let's just say this helps a fellow human.'

While the washing machine was doing the task, Naya swept from the front yard to the kitchen. He left the house only last night, but it was this dirty, especially the rest of the rain yesterday that made the house dirty.

'They're just the two of them but why is the house so dirty. What are they doing, si? Astagfirullah'

Naya started mopping the floor, then continued by cleaning the bathroom. There was a remnant of vomit that seemed to have forgotten to be watered on the bathroom floor. It made Naya nauseous, but she strengthened her heart by immediately flushing it with clean water.

When Naya was almost finished, Rudian came out of the room with a surprised look at Naya who was wearing a robe. He rarely saw Naya wearing those clothes at home. The habit is always to wear a tunic combined with kullot or trousers.

'Nay. When did he come home?'

"You. Already home?" greet Rudian while walking towards the bathroom. Still looks sleepy.

"You just woke up? No dawn prayers?" Naya asked back.

"Sholat." replied Rudian, he was still standing in front of the bathroom door because Naya was still cleaning their madi room.

"Sholat." answered Rudian briefly.

"You want to take a shower? In a moment, it's done." replied Naya while washing her feet.

He came out carrying a clean mop, storing it in his usual place at the back of the house. Then continue to cook rice with a rice cooker.

"Aren't you working?" ask Rudian who has now finished cleaning himself. He came out by drying his hair with a small towel.

"Work, when it's done. It was the same bude's permission."

"Oh."

"You don't work? Pregnant leave?" ask Naya kidding. Making Rudian furrow his brows.

"The pregnant one is Yola."

"But the one who bothered was me. So I'm just saying I'm still pregnant, why?"

"But the truth is, you're not pregnant, are you?"

"If I'm not pregnant. But it's not worth it that you're snapping just because I went with a friend. Am I wrong not to be pregnant?" naya said she started washing dishes one by one.

"What do you mean?"

"What did you mean to talk like that last night? It's not like it's blaming me. Then assume people who are not pregnant can be persecuted, so?" naya asked back.

"Did I persecute you?" said Rudian looking at Naya furiously.

"Well, tell me to take care of Yola, clean Yola's shirt, just because I'm not pregnant and Yola's sick, did I hurt Yola. No. right? What's that name if it's not molesting?"

"Then, you don't want to? Yes already. You're overreacting."

"What is it?"

"Now I just said that, after I cleaned things up. I'm not your maid, Nda. I'm your wife, just like Yola!" naya said following Rudian's steps, leaving the job of washing dishes.

Now that they were talking in his room, Rudian was still wearing his clothes about to go to work.

"I did this first and last. Tell Yola, if you are healthy again, do not nausea quickly do the task. Don't wait for her clothes to pile up like that" said Naya standing behind Rudian.

"He works, Naya."

"I work too. What difference?"

"Can't you be a good wife anymore? Do it sincerely, if not lighten it is not necessary." said Rudian while buttoning his last shirt.

"Why. A kanda? I'm the same Yola has the same rights. Why am I the only one who has to take care of the house?"

"Yes, yeah. Do it if you want. Repot very, si. Never mind, I want to work. Is it ripe?"

"Yet? But it's not too late at this hour?"

"What no. It was permission, it was said that it was a bit late" Rudian said while sitting on the sofa and busy with his phone.

Naya took a deep breath, and stroked her chest and went back to the kitchen. Cooking instant noodles with two eggs with chives and fried onions. He prepared the food that was available in his kitchen.

When finished, he went to the stall looking for krupuk as a complement to the dish.

"Well, isn't Naya working? How's it at home at this hour?" said the stall mother who already knows the habits of Naya working in the morning.

"Oh, again leave at noon, ma'am" said Naya, holding the money for a friendly woman who had come to Naya's house and knew Rudian was a pooligami.

"Eh, mbak Naya. How do you want to live in a house with young Iatri mas Rudi?"

'She is not a young wife. She was older than me, the same age as my husband.'

"He's sick, ma'am. So please understand" replied Naya briefly, not to gossip. He returned home as soon as he received what he had bought.

"Come, Nda. We have breakfast first." said Naya as she unwrapped the crackers and kept them in a jar.

Rudian stood up then stepped into the room and invited Yola to have breakfast together. The woman came out with warm clothes and coyos attached to both sides of her temple.

"This tuna, eat it?" rudian said while sitting down after Yola also sat down.

'Yes, this is what it is. If you want to eat well, buy it at the restaurant!'

Naya did not answer. It just takes a little instant noodles and crackers. Not to forget he added chili into his bowl.

"Hemm. Pay it nice." he said, bribing it into his mouth.

"Kanda, wear pepper. It's better." Naya said to Rudian as if Yola wasn't there.

Naya takes a few slices of cayenne pepper and is about to give it to her husband but hastily Yola asks for it and puts it in her own bowl.

"Yola. Watch out later you get sick." Hearing Rudian's words, Yola shook her head and said.

"Big, bang. I love spicy gini noodles."

"Yes, that's it. Naya, cook some spicy noodles like this tomorrow, okay?"

"Kanda. I told you that. I just want to take care of Yola today" Naya said, keeping her bowl on the table.

"Naya, you're starting to argue." said Yola.

"Yola.., if you like spicy noodles? Why don't you order it at a roadside stall, a lot!"

"But I'm not the one who asked. Bang Rudi told you, right?"

"But, Kanda told me, for you!"

'Enak just said I denied.'

"Keep what's wrong, Nay? Cook for your husband for yourself. It's the same as if we were both" Rudian said trying to mediate.

"Dong station, Nda. Why should I? Tomorrow change you cook, change, I'll."

"Kan, Yola is still sick." replied Rudian.

"Yes, if it's healed."

"Smart once you avoid not having to work at home?"

"Yes, why? I have the same right Yola. We live in one house."

"It was also Bang Rudi's will. Not me."

"Oh, so you used your husband as a shield?" said Naya standing near Yola.

'High his head would be.'

"Yola. Now that you can be spoiled, are you sure something like this will last forever?"
