The Injured

The Injured
Remembering White Grey


Despite the worry that struck his heart, Rion still expressed what he had been craving for almost a month.


"I want to talk to all of you" said Rion.


Everyone who was busy chewing and laughing looked at the triplets' behavior, now looked at Rion seriously.


"What's wrong? How serious it seems," said Arya.


Rion let out a heavy sigh before speaking. He looked at his ex-wife's eyes. His eyes looked as if he was saying sorry.


"I'm going to resign." Everyone was surprised.


"Don't joke," Arya joked.


"It's not funny, Mas" said Ayanda.


"Seriously. I am tired of working. I want to enjoy my old day with my children and grandchildren" he explained.


"You're resigning, who's gonna lead your store?" ask Gio.


"Gua doesn't want to," Arya refused before Rion spoke.


"Echa" replied Rion.


Everyone was stunned to hear Rion's words. Because, Echa is now a full housewife. She also could not leave her three children.


"Dad, not funny" joked Echa.


"Serious father. The shop is all yours. I'm just running orders from you because the real store owner is you. Not Dad."


Echa's body went limp for a moment. She did not want to leave her three children. Where they are active and funny.


"If, Echa works. Who takes care of the three tuyul?" Everyone has the same questions as Arya.


"Gua, that cave will be the governess for them." Echa shook her head, she could not believe what her father had said.


"The son of Echa there are three, Dad. Taking care of them requires a strong energy. Echa doesn't want me to get tired" he said.


"What Echa says is true, Mas. Taking care of the child is harder than imagined" Ayanda said.


"Lu thought again. Don't worry," Arya said.


"The decision of the cave is already round. The cave wants to enjoy the old age of the cave with the triplets," kekehnya.


Echa leaned her body on the head of the sofa. Massaged nose that feels dizzy. He doesn't want to work. She was not far from her three children. The child he had taken care of was still red, and was now able to walk.


"It's not that easy, Dad," said Echa.


Everyone agrees with Echa. At least Echa needs to think, and not necessarily Radit allows it.


"Echa has a husband, everything must be negotiated first" he added.


"All right, I love it when you think one day. I want to retire quickly. Tired of meeting the Bhaskara mulu, "he said.


Radit rubbed his wife's shoulders gently. Removing Echa's head on his shoulders. Echa's hand begins to circle in Radit's stomach. Everyone looked on Echa. However, they also could not force Rion to still manage his shop. It is also natural that he wants to retire. From Moses to middle-aged was only spent on developing the shop.


Radit did not allow his wife to leave the house. Moreover, working, his finances are still able to finance the life of his wife and child for the next ten years. That's if they live extravagantly and luxuriously.


"Let Radit's wife think first. One day is too short. Deciding on something must be mature. Moreover, the problem now leaves the children. It must have been very difficult, "he added again.


Intentions tonight to break the fast, even faced with the problem again. Echa had not moved from its place. He was still staring at his three hearts.


"Pubu can't afford to split up with you. Brought to the house of Aunty Mamih Bubu immediately kangen you," he said.


Radit opened the door connecting her room. He approached his wife and pulled her slowly into a warm embrace.


"Now we rest. Don't mind too much. Tomorrow we'll go to the gynecologist" Radit said.


Echa can only obey Radit's words. Radit continued to hold his wife's body until she fell asleep. This is a difficult choice for Echa. If, he wants to be selfish he'll ban Echa. However, he also realized, all A&R bakery shops are owned by his wife. One day Echa will manage the store.


Is it time now?


Only a rough sigh escaped Radit's mouth. It's not just Echa who's worried. He is also now worried.


Mentari has already revealed himself. However, there was a woman who was still comfortable in a blanket. Curtains were deliberately still Radit closed. So that the wife is not disturbed by the sun.


Looking at Echa's face while sleeping brings peace to Radit's heart. Echa's body started to squirm. His eyes began to open.


"Morning." A warm kiss landed on Echa's forehead. Greeted with the sweet smile that Echa gave.


"Why not wake up? Children ...."


Radit pulled Echa's hand and held her body warm. "They're with Dad" Radit said.


Echa's hands now began to circle around Radit's waist. Buried his face in the chest of the already fragrant field of the husband.


"I've already made an appointment with the obstetrician. At nine we should be there." Echa did not answer. His hands continued to tightly hug Radit's waist.


Echa came out of the bathroom using only a kimono towel. Open the closet and pick up clothes.


"Well, would you like to wear a couple shirt?" ask Echa a little scream.


"May," replied Radit who was still busy with his laptop.


Today Echa only uses white shirts with navy jeans. He was sitting in front of the mirror. Applying a moisturizer whose price makes misquenn's soul thrash. Once felt moisturizer it absorbs into the skin. He took the powder that the price was also not kidding. Just as his hand opened the powder, Radit's voice made him cluck in annoyance. "Don't be pretty."


Radit approached his wife and put down the powder that Echa already held.


"So this is also very beautiful," said Radit.


"Well, just use sow powder and lipstick. My daily grooming is at home" said Echa.


"Sign up, Yang. It will make you look even more beautiful in front of all the men" Radit replied.


"Then, I have to be without make up when the same way my own husband. What will people say? The wife of young businessman Raditya Addhitama is shabby and dirty." Radit only let out a rough sigh. Then, he allowed his wife to preach.


The two of them came out of the room in matching clothes making Mbak Ina amazed to see them.


"Where are you going, Neng?" ask Ms. Ina.


"Check at the gynecologist first, Ma'am. Regular routine controls every month" he replied.


Radit was with his three daughters. The three of them tightly hugged Radit's body as if they knew this Babanya was leaving.


"Itute," whined Aleeya.


"It's Baba, Baba" Aleesa said.


"Can't be baba's kids. There are many viruses in hospitals. You will get the virus and get sick. Do you want to be like Bang Iyo? His hand was needle-stuffed."


"Nyonyonyo" the three of them answered.


Their memory of Rio's hand being pierced by the infusion needle is still attached. Moreover, Rio was crying loudly in pain.


"Yes, ton. Au," Aeleya replied excitedly.


"For Bubu's children" said Echa.


The three dwarves immediately rushed to embrace Echa's body. Kiss the cheeks of Echa alternately.


"Udah on pretty. Had a shower?" They quickly nodded.


"Well eat?" Again they nodded.


"Smart kids" praised Echa.


"Now Bubu can go with Baba?" ask Echa.


The three Echa children did not answer. They ran towards Radit. Whispering something in the father's ear. Radit smiled and formed his thumb and index finger into the letter O. The children of Radit shouted happily.


Echa stared full of question marks at Radit. Just a smile that Radit gave me.


"Yes, don't be naughty. Baba and Bubu go first. Sun first," said Radit.


The three beautiful creatures kissed Radit's cheeks in turn. Then kiss Echa's cheek too.


"Bye, Baba."


"Bye, Bubu."


Echa and Radit are gone. The car drove towards the hospital. However, Echa asked to stop by the side of the road. Where there's a chicken porridge merchant there.


"Hungry?" Echa nodded slowly.


Radit laughed and gently rubbed his wife's head. "Alright, find a parking lot first, yeah."


Eating by the roadside is reminiscent of a white-gray time. Where the two of them often spent the night of the week eating on the outskirts of the road like this.


"It's been a long time like we didn't eat this" said Echa.


Radit smiled, and he felt the same way. Living abroad there is no roadside food like this. They enjoy spending time together at home.


"Don't use chives and beans, right." Echa laughed, her husband still remembered the porridge that he often ordered.


"Kok I sprained ya," added Echa while stirring the porridge.


"Why?" asked Radit who was now staring at Echa who was looking at him across the table.


"That chick's eyes feel like I want to plug it in with a skewer," growled Echa.


Radit smiled and grabbed the bowl that was in front of Echa. Radit scoops the porridge and then. feeds it to Echa.


"Better his mouth is used for eating than to mengedumel continue," chuckled Radit. Echa's lips advanced seven centi heard Radit's words.


Ever since the incident at the chicken porridge, Echa's mood has been a complete mess.


"Udah dong, Yang. Ugly knows how to frown." Radit clasped Echa's hand in his left hand. His right hand remained at the wheel. Radit kissed his wife's back. It's been a year that they can't be together like this.


Arriving at the hospital, Echa's face was still bent. When Radit's car door opened, his hand stretched out toward Echa. Still welcomed by the wife even with an unsightly face.


"Udah dong is angry," Radit's pinta who now pulls Echa into his arms. Then, he kissed Echa's forehead very deeply. He didn't care if they were in the hospital parking lot.


It turned out that they had to wait first because the patients were quite a lot. Moreover, Radit needs only for control.


"Old," lamented Echa who now put her head on the shoulder of the husband.


"Patience, yes. After this we walk together to remember the courtship period," Radit replied while peeling off the head of Echa.


Radit and Echa's affection had invited the other spouses to be their own.


"You newlyweds? Want a pregnancy program, yeah." Suddenly a mother approached them. Make Echa enforce her seat without letting go of Radit's hand


"You've been married for a long time" replied Echa politely.


"Certainly want a pregnancy program. Not working yet." Fashion pretentious mom is out. Making Echa start grimacing.


"We already have triplets that are now just a year old." The mother was also stunned to hear Echa's words.


She has given birth, but she is still a singer. It was incredible.


That's how it says inside. The name Echa was also called. He paid first to the mother so as not to be branded arrogant.


"Aren't you worried about those mothers?" ask Radit.


"They were envious because I was still beautiful despite having three children. Plus a handsome, rich husband." Radit laughed at Echa.


They consulted with the gynecologist Radit choice about contraception. Not to mention, Radit asked what style would not hurt his wife's stomach post-tap surgery doing a good-tasting workout.


After the consultation was completed, Radit immediately went to the pharmacy to buy contraceptives to be used by his wife. Many contraceptives are offered with their own side effects. However, Radit chose the Pill because it felt safer. KB pills that Radit bought were not just any. Its function is not only to prevent pregnancy, but it can be for facial skin because it contains collagen.


After the consultation, Radit kept his promise. They went around the places they had been when they were dating. One of them is a snack place. Radit and Echa continued to laugh with their hands clasped together. For ordinary people, they would think that Radit and Echa were lovers. Not a couple.


As usual, Echa will be confused if it has come to this snack place. All the food she missed was here. Without seeing the price he ordered. Of course Radit paid.


"Mang, then take it there, yes," point Echa towards a table not far from the meatball stand.


"The old man didn't drink ice coffee. Since pregnancy always drink fruit juice," he said when he put a straw into the lid of an iced coffee glass.


"Now you can eat and drink anything" Radit replied.


Their togetherness is interrupted when someone comes to greet Echa.


"Recor." Echa was a little surprised when she saw Rezal was already beside her.


"Can join?" Echa stared at Radit, but Radit's face was still flat.


"I'm sorry, my husband and I have to go home soon. It's just waiting for the food we ordered."


Echa got up from her seat, invited her husband to leave from there. Echa already understood that her husband was already uncomfortable. Rather than having to fight, it is better to give up. Echa approached one by one food stand that two messages to be wrapped only.


"Don't be angry" said Echa, writhing in her husband's arms.


"If I'm angry what's the sign?"


"Love" answered Echa.


"That knows," Radit murmured.


Echa also chuckled, she pinched slowly on the husband's cheek. "If jealousy gets better looking."


"Love you so much, Baba," he whispered as a toe.
