THE LOVE OF ALKA
76

Long enough Amina sobbed at the table, she stopped her crying. Her legs overtook Alka who was currently sitting on the balcony of their room while smoking her cigarette.

Amina stood beside her husband who looked indifferent, not returning Amina's gaze.

Amina went back down to the kitchen, took a plate of rice complete with the side dish.

She took him back upstairs and sat down next to her husband.

"Eat first mas," said Amina in a hoarse voice.

Alka who had been upset finally collapsed after hearing Amina's soft voice let alone Amina intending to feed her.

Alka snorted her cigarette, preparing to take a bribe from Amina.

"Enak... My wife's cooking is always good." praise Alka who instantly makes Amina smile.

"Just stir-fry kale with fried shrimp." reply Amina.

"But it's really good, baby." Alka again praised Amina.

Amina smiled, "Thank you, sir."

"For?" asked Alka with a mouth full.

"For everything, thank you for taking care of me."

Alka smiled, "It's my responsibility."

The two fell silent before Alka finally said something to Amina, "You know what a pity there is one important foundation that can make our marriage stronger."

"What is mas?"

"Honesty."

Amina fell silent, aware that she had not been able to be completely honest with Alka about anything.

"I'm sorry, sometimes I just want to"

"Want to protect someone who doesn't know?" cibir Alka's.

Amina bowed her head, "I just pity you, mbak Yani is the widow of 2 children who were left dead by her husband, she is the backbone of the family, I hope you give him a chance to work again." Pinta Amina.

Alka let out a long sigh, "I gave her a chance this afternoon but she instead acted again so it's not my fault if I fire her like this!"

Amina looked at Alka with a disappointed look.

"But I will ask Juan to compensate him so that he can make small small businesses at home" said Alka who immediately made Amina smile with relief.

"Love you mas." Amina hugged her husband.

"Just like love you!" alka's lips made Amina laugh.

Days change weeks and weeks change months.

Amina already has her daily routine, she goes to campus driving her own car as desired by Alka.

"Mina to the mall yuk." take Vera one of Amina's college friends.

After her marriage to Alka and her economic life changed, Amina had many friends, unlike when she was in school who had no friends because she was only the son of a maid.

"No, Ver, go home."

Vera looks disappointed, "And there are more discounts today."

"But I have to come home, not good with my husband because yesterday came home late so I can not cook dinner" said Amina considering he had a group assignment yesterday that made him come home late.

"Your husband must understand, after all nyenengin wife is one of the responsibilities of the husband" said Vera again.

Amina smiled, "Mas Alka has been a lot of nyenengin me really, when is it Ver." reject Amina who was finally embraced by Vera.

Amina immediately drove her car out of the campus.

Arriving home, Amina was surprised when there was a car in-laws in front of the house.

"Is Dad the same Mama here?" muttered Amina immediately went out and entered the house.

"There's Mr. Non" said Bik Narti, the housekeeper who helped Amina at home, "More rest on top."

Amina nodded her head in understanding, She immediately cleaned herself up and prepared to cook because maybe there will be a family dinner tonight.

Amina immediately kissed the back of Vienna's hand, "Mama until what time it was, sorry Amina did not know if Mama came, if Amina knew maybe Amina could ask permission for the lecturer not to enter today." amina.

Vienna smiled, "Mama and Papa want to make a surprise so do not say if you want to come."

"You don't have to be tired of cooking, there is already Bik Narti" said Vienna.

"No matter what Ma, Mina likes to be confused if at home does not do anything" said Amina.

"Steep only, if you exhausted the pregnant program you can not walk."

Degs... Hearing the word pregnant made Amina speechless because she was married for more than a month but still no sign of pregnancy.

"I'm sorry, Ma..."

"Sorry why?" wonder Vienna.

"Amina's not pregnant yet."

Vienna laughed, "You've only been married for a month, you can understand."

"But Mama and Papa already wanted grandchildren, Amina felt bad."

Vienna clucked, "Mama said that just didn't want you to be tired, so don't get me wrong."

Amina smiled and nodded.

Amina finally left the kitchen and asked Bik Narti to cook, now accompanying Vienna and Karsa chatting in the guest room.

At exactly 6 o'clock, Alka came home from work. He was surprised to see his parents sitting in the living room of his house.

"Mrs ... Papa's... Why didn't you say you were coming?" tanya Alka immediately greeted her parents.

"Based on a bad boy, you wouldn't have come home if we hadn't come here!" vienna Omel.

Alka smiled showing her neat teeth, "Don't want to go back there Ma, again there's no time. I'm busy working and Amina has also started college, even if we're still overtime."

"What soft?" ask Karsa.

"Slowly makes dong's son." Alka laughed followed by Vienna and Karsa who laughed while Amina looked down embarrassed.

"Yes there is a bath hunt, Mama and Papa already laper want to eat dinner waiting for you." ordered Vienna.

"Ready Ma.."

"Mina readyin water same clothes first for mas Alka ya Ma... Pa.." pamit Amina who was immediately embraced by Karsa and Vienna.

"Look at Ma... Having a Mantu is not only the same attention of the husband but also the same of us" said Karsa when Amina and Alka had gone up.

Vienna nodded in agreement, He regretted that he did not approve of Alka and Amina's relationship.

"Try who became our daughter-in-law one of Mama's children, not necessarily the same attention we like Amina." said Karsa.

"Yes Pa, yes... No need to be exposed again!" Vienna began to get upset making Karsa laugh.

While in the room, Alka had just come out of the bathroom, she saw Amina was preparing clothes for her.

"Drink warm tea first mas." Amina gives a cup of warm tea to Alka.

It has become a habit of Amian when Alka finished bathing, Amina makes warm water for Alka, whether it is warm tea or ginger sometimes also warm milk.

"Thank you for my most beautiful wife in the world" said Alka, then kissed Amina on the forehead.

Alka wanted to embrace Amina but was immediately rejected by Amina.

I don't know why Amina suddenly did not like the body odor Alka, but Alka had just taken a bath and the smell was very fragrant.

"Why?"

"No cuddling!"

"Why? Are you angry with me?"

"Not to be hugged!" said Amina Judes and then out of the room made Alka astonished.
