The Regrets of the Child and Husband
PAS 9

A week had passed and Aliyah's attitude was still the same as before, namely silence of a thousand languages. Not only that, Aliyah also never slept in her room again. Aliyah preferred to sleep with Gaffi and Amri.

Obviously this makes Amar confused and a little jarring. Want to ask, but his super high prestige made him reluctant to talk to Aliyah. Amar was instead indifferent, hoping that Aliyah would return like before. But her conjecture turned out to be wrong, Aliyah remained with her silence. Aliyah would only make a sound when she asked. It was just a short, solid, and clear answer. Amar so dead fleas made.

Since yesterday afternoon, Amar has not felt well. Plus all night can not sleep makes his body more crumpled. His body temperature was high, his body was shivering and carefree. Amar also work permit because there is no way he continues to work while the condition of his body is not fine.

As usual, Aliyah went into her room at dawn to bathe because her clothes were still in the room. Realizing the door was opened from the outside, Amar immediately closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep. Quietly Amar noticed the movement of Aliyah who turned out to move towards the wardrobe and took her clothes and passed towards the bathroom.

Amar frowned in surprise, Aliyah seemed to not care about him anymore. Amar thought, Aliyah changed after she talked about Nafisa.

"Jealous, hm? Wrong himself why can not please the husband," he muttered feeling Aliyah changed because of jealousy.

Before long, Aliyah had come out with her long robe. Not to forget the instant hijab covers the crown above her head. Then Aliyah went back to the closet and prepared Amar's work clothes then came out.

Amar massaged his pain-throbbing temple. He wanted to ask Aliyah to massage her temple, but her tongue was just a mute so that no word came out.

The clock was at 7, but Amar had not yet come out of the room. He thinks Amar is still sleeping. Aliyah was actually reluctant to go to the room and wake him up, but Aliyah who could not ignore her obligations as a wife was forced into the room. He saw Amar had woken up, but still wrapped in a blanket. Aliyah saw Amar shivering in his blanket.

Aliyah then approached and held Amar's forehead which turned out to be hot on the back of her hand. Aliyah let out a long sigh, and she took a small towel and warm water to compress Amar's forehead. Amar actually did not sleep so he knew what Aliyah was doing. Afterwards Aliyah headed to the kitchen to make porridge while preparing Amar's heat-lowering medicine.

Sometimes he went into the room to dip the towel back into the warm water and put it back on Amar's forehead. After the porridge was cooked, Aliyah brought the porridge and warm water and heat-lowering medicine to Amar's room. Luckily Amat was already sitting leaning on the head of the bed so he did not need to wake Amar up. He gave the porridge still with his lips tightly clenched. Amar accepted it because he was hungry. After it was finished, Aliyah poured warm water and medicine to Amar.

"Yayayah," call Amri who goes into the room.

Dad not elja?" ask Gaffi who came in. Not wanting her children to be the target of Amar's anger, Aliyah immediately invited the two out.

"Father sick, brother same play outside aja ya. Dad wants to rest" said Aliyah gently while taking her two children out. Amar could only look at the three people in silence and gaze I don't know.

...***...

Aliyah always shopped at the store. He never went to the market because he could not leave his children at home alone. Finished shopping, he picked up the laundry at his neighbor's house.

It's almost noon, but he hasn't finished washing. So does cooking. Amar who had returned hungry until upset himself in the room because Aliyah did not go into the room to deliver her lunch.

Amar was very tired of being in the room, but he was also reluctant to go out. Especially since he had heard cries from Gaffi and Amri.

"He's what the hell is that? This hour has not yet been delivered food. Where from earlier Gaffi and Amri cry only. Really a useless wife," upset Amar while covering both ears.

An hour later, Aliyah came with a tray filled with lunch for Amar. Seeing the arrival of Aliyah, instead of being happy let alone saying thank you, Amar actually immediately scolded her. But Aliyah was just silent. Not responding to any of Amar's babbling and scolding. It was as if he had taken what Amar had thrown at him.

"You're deaf or what? Where are you really from? Look it's 1 o'clock now. It should have been an hour ago when you brought me lunch. But this is what? It's 1 o'clock you just delivered. Truly the wife is not becus," said Amar. Though still sick, but he still has the stamina to babble Aliyah.

Aliyah was silent, not responding in the least.

"It looks like you're not only deaf, but also mute. Keep quiet like a statue."

Amar was further upset that Aliyah did not bully him at all.

"Amar is there, right?" ask Budi.

Aliyah nodded and let them into the house. Aliyah also let them sit on the sofa.

"There was. Please enter!" aliyah said politely.

Amar knew from Nafisa that they would come to visit him. Amar was very happy too. When they entered the house, Amar came out to greet them.

"Hi bro, do you really hurt or ... mode let there be nyamperin nih?" goda Budi doesn't care that Aliyah is still there. The definition of a friend is no morality.

"Ck, I'm really sick. But I'm glad you guys came here."

"Watch us or see Fisa?" the other seductive.

"You guys are nothing! Not that."

"Well, so you're not happy to see me here? In that case, I'll just go home," said Nafisa pretending to sulk.

"Eh, I don't mean that. I ... "

"Tante Fisa," cried Nana who came out of the room.

"Hai Nana is beautiful, how are you, hm? The more beautiful you are," said Nafisa while hugging Nana.

"Auntie can do it. Aunty who is more beautiful, isn't Dad?" Nana threw the question at the father. Though his mother was walking towards them while carrying a tray filled with drinking water.

Amar initially nodded, then gasped when he saw that Aliyah had been squatting in front of him while putting down the glasses filled with drinking water.

"Cie, cie," Budi's tease that was avenged by the other. They seem to think Aliyah is not. Pain and disappointment for sure. But Aliyah chose silence.

The eyes of Aliyah and Amar were unintentionally rubbed. When the netra Amar seemed full of worry, then the Netra Aliyah looked empty. Even Amar only realized that Aliyah's face was really pale like an undead.

"That's loe's maid, Am?" ask Budi. Just now that Amar wanted to say, suddenly Gaffi appeared in front of Aliyah who was walking back to the kitchen.

"Mom, dedek eek," said Gaffi made everyone stunned. Suddenly the noise turned into silence. Because of Aliyah's slightly shabby appearance, not to mention her face was so pale that everyone suspected that Aliyah was a maid. Because they think, maybe the wife of an office worker can be all that.

"Am, so he ... "

With a face of shame, Amar said, "she ... my wife."
