“Mas Daniel!” yelled Adel from the bathroom.
Adel slightly stomped her feet walking out of the bathroom, she felt annoyed that she had been lied to by her own husband.
“Mas, wake up!” call him while clapping the hands of the man sleeping in the bed.
Since then Daniel had been awake when he heard his wife's scream in the bathroom, just because his drowsiness had not disappeared so he ignored. He had just slept at two this morning, so don't blame him for waking up late because last night he was tired of fighting in bed.
“Mas wake up first, look at this!”
With a heavy heart and eyes, Daniel opened his eyes slowly and saw his wife who was ready to pounce on him alive this morning. He himself did not understand why his wife looked angry at him, when only last night they were affectionate.
“Apaan, Del. I'm still sleepy.”
“See this, Mas Daniel liedin, Adel!” he said while giving the tespack that he brought from the bathroom and handed it to Daniel.
Still half-conscious, Daniel took the testpack that his wife offered and saw two red lines parallel. Then he gave it to his wife.
“Mas have seen, right?”
“Yes, there are two red lines,” he said casually and again closed his eyes.
“Know what it means?” ask Adel.
“Ya keep why?” daniel replied casually as if igniting Adel's emotions.
“Terus why? Mas, Adel is pregnant again!”
This time Daniel opened his eyes and looked at his wife who was still with horns. “Yes you are pregnant yes just pregnant, right his father remains me.”
Adel took a breath with her husband's answer, “Hamil yes pregnant? Mas, you know that Noah has only entered 6 months and still must be given Asi, now Adel is pregnant again.”
There is a bit of sadness on Adel's face at the moment, not because she is unhappy after learning about her second child's pregnancy, but at the moment he feels the time is too fast because Noah has not even a year and is still given Asi and that is what worries him.
Seeing the uneasiness from Adel's current face, he understood that if his wife was not ready to have any more children, he also felt guilty about it.
“We can definitely raise Noah and keep your content.” said Daniel reassuring his wife.
“Mas lied yes, do not use safety and said he wanted to be outside but instead so.” Adel remembered the sweet words that came out of her husband every time they would have a relationship.
“Actually I already want to take it out. But the time is always less fitting,” replied Daniel felt guilty.
Adel did not answer again, he was just thinking how to tell his parents and in-laws later. He was just afraid they were saying weird or maybe they were teasing him and Daniel was in too much of a hurry to have another child.
“Starting next week we move to Jakarta because Papah just told him to continue his work at the office. And Noah can be helped take care of your Mom or my Mom later,” Daniel stroked Adel's head to calm him down.
“Moving to Jakarta again? How can you not say it first?”
“I should have told you.
Adel snorted bitterly, what the hell else her husband. Why would they move to Jakarta again but not tell him from far away. Apparently her husband's annoying nature is still the same and makes Adel have to remain patient with her.
“Udah do not be upset, Later in the afternoon we check with the Doctor yes, Noah he would be happy to have a sister.” Daniel kissed Adel's forehead and lips briefly while stroking his flat wife's stomach before going to the bathroom to wash her face.
...***...
Several Years Passed ...
It was still morning, but Adel's emotions had begun to explode to see how much work he would start this Sunday.
Dirty dishes from last night that are still in the sink, food waste that has not had time on the broom is still littering the floor, as well as a pile of dirty cloth that is now ready he put into his washing machine.
Not to mention Noah's toys are scattered on the floor and have not been cleaned and make Adel who was in a hurry to do his household work accidentally stepped on the lego of Noah's toy and made him grimace a little.
“Noah, why did the toy get to the dining room? See the legs of the Mother sick because you stepped on your lego,” Adel's tirade gave the lego that he accidentally stepped on earlier.
“Mother why don't you see-wild?” reply Noah with words that are still not accurate.
Adel assuaged his anger, his first child who is now 3 years old is still not fluent, but even so he is always good at answering remarks from Adel even sometimes also answer it as soon as possible.
“Mainannya not brought to another place, play here just so as not to lose his toys,” Adel passed leaving his son who is now even ignoring his speech because of the focus of watching his favorite cartoons.
Fortunately, his second child, who was born two years ago, is with his nanny, both Adel and Daniel are female and they named Aera.
Since Adel became pregnant with Aera, they decided to find a nanny. And previously Aera's nanny was Noah's babysitter because now her son is 3 years old, now the nanny is helping her care for Aera.
For housework, previously they have also used the services of household assistants. But a week ago, their domestic assistant decided to quit because he had to take care of his parents in the village and Adel has not returned to look for a replacement and therefore this week he started busy with homework.
After finishing pressing the button of the washing machine, Adel now continues his activity of washing dirty dishes first just cooking breakfast for them. Previously they had breakfast jam bread to prop up the stomach.
The kitchen cleaning business is done, his cooking had already happened at the dining table and this time he looked for the whereabouts of her husband who had not been seen the trunk of his nose even when Adel had been around the house doing work.
The door was opened, but on the bed with a blanket that was still messy since waking up was not there Daniel. She had also gone inside, perhaps her husband was in the bathroom, but the bathroom door in her room was already open and Daniel was not there either.
“Mbak, see dad?” adel asks Aera's nanny in her playroom.
“No, Ma'am,” answered the man who was feeding Aera.
Seeing the arrival of his Mamah, Aera already spread a smiling hand at him. Adel kissed her daughter's cheek for a while because the job was still not done and she could not play with her son and she went back to find her husband.
“Noah, see Daddy?” ask Adel to his son who is still a henchman watching his cartoons.
“Ndak know,” answers without turning.
Adel walked out of the house, maybe her husband was on the porch of the house. While continuing to call, Adel did not get any authorization.
“Nda, want mamam,” While Adel is confused looking for her husband, Noah walks towards her.
Noah had gotten into the chair, and Adel took breakfast for him and while Adel was focusing on his son, he was suddenly shocked when a brief kiss was felt on his right cheek and who else was the culprit if not Daniel who was now sitting down with his relaxed face.
“Morning, Noah,” greet Daniel sitting next to him.
“Why are only Nda smelled?” noah protest.
Looking at his son's pouting face, Daniel kissed his piercing cheeks and stroked his head. Now Daniel must be careful in everything because his son has begun to understand a little.
“Where to go, from this Mother searchin no?” Adel always called her husband Dad in front of Noah.
“There's business for a minute."
“What business, why on this holiday?” adel asked furrowing his brows.
Daniel did not answer, instead he looked at Noah with a wink and made his son smile. Adel narrowed his eyes suspiciously if the father and son were planning something.
...***...
In the afternoon, Adel had just finished all his work alone because Daniel helped take care of Noah when his son finished taking an afternoon bath.
It feels tiring for Adel in recent days, even though his work is always the same but somehow his body feels tired after menjarkan work even though it is just sweeping or cleaning the room.
Maybe Adel needs a vacation with his small family, because they have not traveled for a long time especially Daniel is currently busy working in the office and only Saturday and week are at home.
After being absorbed in the television room accompanied by Aera who sat while playing with her toys that were scattered, now her mind is fixed on what the father and his son are doing at this time. Although he believes in Daniel looking after his son, but still he is always vigilant because the two men sometimes make unexpected things that in the end Adel also cleans it.
“Aera, we see the same father Noah yes,” invite Adel who directly carried his son.
Aera is already good at talking even though not surfing her brother who although smoothly still word for word is not right.
“Noah, Dad, where are you?” yelled Adel who had been the second time on this Sunday he let out a loud voice.
“There is a behind, Bun,” Adel's loud voice apparently not in vain because Daniel who was in the backyard was finally able to hear it.
“Why in the backyard, Noah is already-, oh my goodness! What is this father?” adel said quite surprised.
There was actually nothing strange at the moment, it was just that he was quite surprised to see Daniel and Noah sitting on a chair with a fishing rod in their hands. Plus now Adel is quite confused to see the tent that has been set up in their yard.
“Nda, let's fish,” lisp sound from Noah start to sound.
“Mas, where is the fishing rod from and why are the fish in the pond on the fishing line? And why is there a tent there too, who is camping?” as with mothers in general, if it is upset must be cerocos without pause.
“Sit here first, want to try fishing?” bargain Daniel.
Spontaneous Adel shook his head. He was still inexhaustible, for what Daniel was busy fishing and took Noah also in his small pond. Even if he wants to take it, just use the net.
“Dad, why fish ndak dapet-dapet?” Noah had raised his small fishing rod that had been fed by Daniel.
Adel was still standing beside them holding Aera and looking at the father and son who looked happy with his current activities.
“Ayo Bun, don't look at it. Cobain fishing also Aera here, Daddy fat,” said Daniel who had stood up again and immediately kissed the smooth cheeks of his second son who was excited in his carrier.
Curious, Adel finally sat down in Daniel's chair and took the bait. Now he also wondered if his fishing also managed to get fish.
“Well it worked, see Noah got a big fish.” Daniel helped draw his fishing rod that had managed to get a big enough fish.
“Down lost nih, not yet.” seduce Daniel.
“Mother will not be able to fishing,” replied Adel with a tone back.
“Yes already, Dad, Noah the same yes who lured let Mother who burned her fish?” daniel looked at Noah.
“Iya, Mother who masakin right Aera want?” reply Noah excitedly looked at his sister.
“Mau,” replied Aera in spirit.
Adel was again confused by the behavior of the father and son. Having managed to get the fish in a small pond they now ask him to burn it, what exactly are these two men planning?
“Mas,” call Adel for explanation.
Seeing his wife looking confused and upset, Daniel looked at her with a smile.
“From yesterday Noah asked to be taught to fish after seeing the video sent Dean yesterday. From far away so I invite him fishing here and the fish I bought earlier in the market,” explained Daniel.
Adel frowned, so this was all because of his sister who was bragging about his bangs yesterday? Jesus, just look later if you meet, Adel will pull his sister's ear because it has often berjahili and tease Noah.
“Keep, the relationship of the tent was also because Dean participated in camping?” adel asked, staring at the tent at the back of their house.
“Not, I purposely set up a tent for our holiday today. We take Noah and Aera for a simple vacation, later we sleep in the tent as well but after they fall asleep we go back inside.”
Oh so this is the reason her husband disappeared this morning when he was looking for it, apparently the man had planned a small vacation in their backyard.
“Ya Adel already ready to take the burnt first for the fish,” in the end Adel just follow the wishes of the child and her husband.
Before going inside again, Adel turned to her husband again, “Awas guarding Noah with Aera, do not fall!” adel said to her husband.
...***...
The grilled fish that Adel managed to make was ripe and now the four sat down while enjoying it, he said, Adel feeds Noah who looks so happy today while Aera is not so fond of grilled fish now enjoy the pieces of fruits that Adel brings.
“Why not eat?” daniel asked when he saw Adel who was just busy feeding Noah without tasting his food.
“No, Adel feels nauseous about eating grilled fish.”
Daniel frowned, why his wife had to nauseate eating homemade grilled fish, even though it tasted good and also the spice permeated. But indeed Adel's taste lately slightly reduced even his cheeks have also looked tapered.
“What do you want to eat, want grilled chicken? Let me order online?” bargain Daniel.
“No need, Adel is not so hungry.”
“But lately you have been eating less, I am afraid you will get sick later.”
Yes, Adel himself realized he had lost his appetite lately, maybe because he was too exhausted or indeed his body power was now starting to decline.
“Adel wants to make diamond noodles already this.” said Adel possessed by Daniel.
It was evening and they were in the tent that Daniel had built. Aera's nanny does not come to live with them, Adel tells her to come at 8 am and go home at 4 pm because Adel still wants to have time with his daughter.
“Aya want ama Dad.” said Aera who called herself with “Aya” because still not talking exactly.
Daniel who heard the voice of his daughter immediately carried her sitting on his lap while Adel was lying in the tent and watching with Noah.
It felt like he really enjoyed this relaxing time, he also saw Noah who was now sitting down and invited Aera to watch. Unaware of being too exhausted today, Adel falls asleep in the big tent and leaves Noah and Aera to be taken care of by her husband.
...***...
When the night began, Adel now woke up and realized if he overslept due to fatigue. But in the tent, she was alone without her two children and her husband inside.
While returning to tidying up her messy hair, Adel heard the voices of her two children from outside. He got out of the tent and saw Noah and Aera, who were already wearing thick jackets and were standing happily waiting for their father to bake.
“Mother woke up,” heard the words of Daniel his two children immediately ran towards him.
“Noah, Aera why not wake up Mother. You guys weren't crying?” ask Adel to see his son.
“Ndak kok, earlier Aya peed cemented Dad, I also changed clothes am Dad,” explained Noah.
“Aya want sausage,” Aera pointed to his father who was baking grilled sausage also corn.
“Wait for ya, the sausage will soon be ripe,” Daniel said.
Adel still felt a little dizzy after waking up again, now she approached her husband to help him.
“You sat there with Noah, Aera in the tent. From earlier they were running around aja.”
“Why not wake up, Adel was?”
“I can still take care of them both for a while. Already you into the same children, later I bring sausage and corn.”
Adel nodded and invited his two children to wait inside the tent.
And not to wait for long, sausages and grilled corn that had been made Daniel also came and they immediately enjoyed it together.
...***...
It was getting late, their two children were also asleep in the tent after the glut and fatigue ran. They enjoyed camping in the backyard.
But, for fear of the night wind makes his son catch a cold. So Adel and Daniel will take them to sleep inside the house again even though in the tent is ready folding mattresses are also thick blankets.
Adel and Daniel are now out of the tent enjoying the night view. The backyard of their house in Jakarta is currently a little wider than their house in Bandung first. The fish pond is also wider because they have chosen to stay in Jakarta.
“It turns out camping at the back of the house while enjoying the good gini night air also yes,” said Adel staring at the night sky.
“I'd like to accompany you if you want to see the sky every night from here.”
Adel smiled at her husband's answer. Ahh, now the feeling of tired and tired is not so felt again after a short rest this afternoon and now enjoy the night time to see why the dark with her husband turned out to really make his mood back.
“I know, you've been tired and stressed the last week because our housekeeper stopped and you handled everything. I also have no time to take a vacation. So I can only take a simple camping here with the kids,” Daniel holds Adel's hand.
It's true said Daniel, it seems like the last week he was too tired and a little stressed to teach their household chores. Not to mention Daniel who often comes home at night because his office work is heavier than before.
“Still, Mas. It feels now stressed and tired Adel has been slightly reduced. Take a short break inside the tent, enjoy the grilled corn and now sitting outside the gini tent is quite fun.
“I'm sorry I'm too busy working and can't accompany you guys.”
Adel took Daniel's left arm and lowered his head and hugged his hand. For a long time they did not spend time together with her husband because if Daniel took off, his children would first invite him to play.
“Mumpung no one gets angry if his father is hugged gini.” said Adel.
Daniel also leaned his head, a moment like this they had never felt for a long time because they were busy being parents.
“Are you happy to marry me?” ask Daniel without changing their position.
“Kok, How is it?”
“I just want to make sure.”
Adel now changed her position and looked at her husband. Their distance was so close that even Daniel's breath was also felt on Adel's skin.
“Adel can not express real happiness, but Adel now feels grateful to be married to Mas Daniel and also have Noah and Aera who every day there is always a funny behavior from them. Plus now Mas Daniel is also not as cute as before, so Adel feels happy with the life lived now.”
Daniel smiled at the reply from his wife. Three years ago when his feelings really changed the lives of both of them. All the cold and indifferent attitude of Daniel has begun to turn around, and Adel also did not hesitate to indulge in Daniel because her husband really treated her well and loved her sincerely.
“Noah and Aera are now big, what's the time we add a sister to them?” goda Daniel's.
“Cariin used to replace a new household assistant,” Adel replied with a laugh.
Daniel nodded with a smile, he took Adel's chin and landed a kiss on his wife's lips. Now that their lives are happy enough, there are no more secrets they keep from the past. What is now is their future with the children, and Daniel has promised to make the little family as happy as possible and love Adel with all his heart.
