“How are you willing? If indeed you accept and are ready to delay then I can recommend you to my boss, incidentally with your educational background is very relevant to this position and I see you have good communication skills,”
Ane squeezed his hand, facing one difficult choice for him to choose. Ane bit her lower lip confused. Well, the woman was in the interview for the umpteenth time but this time it seems like a pretty big opportunity Ane got because the company did not at all dispute the status of marriage just about children.
“Can I think about this first? I have to talk about and ask for my husband's approval first,” said Ane asked for time even though he himself was not sure if he could accept the offer. Even now his hand accidentally touched the stomach.
The man who answered as the head of the HRD nodded and gave Ane a day of thought and he wanted to get confirmation as quickly as possible. The interview session was over, since the beginning of interviewing Ane somehow he felt interested in attracting Ane to join the company where she worked, he said, ane's aura is very positive and also the woman has good communication skills and good is certainly very necessary in the work.
Ane rubbed the sweat on his forehead, he turned on his phone to order a taxi online, he felt unable to ride a motorcycle because the sun and heat were so pronounced. Ane was very sultry, almost five minutes waiting for the taxi finally arrived. Ane gets into the cab right away, he checked WhatsApp and no messages came even from the husband even though Ane was hoping if Bhanu gave it to him or just asked if Ane had lunch or not.
When he was about to enter the housing complex, Ane stopped the taxi for a moment because he saw there was a seller of rujak near the minimarket beside the complex. Ane down to buy rujak even double portions, see the slices of fruits and gravy it feels like to immediately taste the rujak really enjoy rujak during the day. Upon arrival at home, Ane goes straight to the kitchen and pulls out the package and turns one onto the plate and the sauce into a bowl.
Ane washed her hands first and began to taste the rujak that she bought. It was so delicious even the sauce was so delicious. It didn't take long Ane spent the rujak without rest. Ane's stomach became stiff and full. He went to wash the dishes, after which Ane entered the room to change clothes. Daster house limited to the knee and made soft into the choice of Ane, he felt relieved to use a negligee. The woman sits on the bed while her head rests on the back of the bed. Ane surfed in the world of social media, relieving fatigue for a moment.
Various kinds of hot news from around the world of entertainment he got, not infrequently he had a little comment about the news even though only verbally. Feeling bored, Ane tried to lay her body in a sideways position. His mind floated thinking about the interview session earlier. The woman tried to get rid of it in the head but it was difficult, it continued to haunt let alone she only had 24 hours to confirm the company.
Ane can't, she has to seek advice or opinions from others. Ane decides to call her best friend, Hanna, but the girl seems to be busy being proven repeatedly Ane tries to contact her but Hanna does not pick up the phone either. Ane now switched to calling Linda and was immediately picked up by the girl. Ane loudspeaker phone calls.
“Assalamualaikum, Lin busy not?”
^^^“Walaikumsalam, not really why?”^^^
“Gue need friend confide Lin, I'm so confused vow!”
^^^“Why the hell? Aja story I have time, who knows I can give Lo input or well just a listener to Lo,”^^^
“Gue, , earlier I did not expect to pass the file I was married even when I interviewed the oath I did not expect if my chances are great to be accepted and do not question my status they are fine-fine,”
^^^“Well good dong keep why Lo confused? Does Lo's husband refuse to work?”^^^
“Gak Lin, mas Bhanu tuh even support me really for work, but the problem is—” Ane paused his sentence while taking a deep breath. “Gue pregnant, Lin!” continued in a soft tone.
^^^“WHAT? OF SERIOUS? HOW TO CONTINUE?” peeking Linda was shocked.^^^
“Well, I was confused especially the company wanted me to procrastinate first, but instead already so Lin, I was confused! Am I dying?”
^^^“ASTAGFIRULLAH! LO CRAZY, NE!”^^^
“Gue wants Lin to work! I want to be an office lady, I want to like Lo also work in the office,”
^^^“Ne, horrifying me, everyone has a different path. And Lo should realize now that Lo is not married anymore, Lo should think from the beginning how if Lo was pregnant when Lo still want to pursue a career. You should think this, or emang since the beginning Lo do not talk about this same husband Lo?”^^^
“Gue forgot and I'm confused now, Lin! I want to fallin aja mumpung mas Bhanu do not know!”
^^^“ASTAGFIRULLAH, YES! NIBBLE NE! DON'T BE CRAZY LOH!” Linda was emotional when Ane said she wanted to abort.^^^
Ane was crying, she did not know to do while in her brain was filled with obsession to be a career woman but the heart said another even kept whispering softly so that Ane did not do the no-no.
^^^“Never do that stupid thing Ne! Sin, Ne, Lo should think that the child is also a fortune, many out there for years waiting for the baby and Lo Alhamdulillah be given the belief can be a quick boon just as God should be grateful Ne. Don't be stupid, don't be fixated on your obsession. You are selfish if you sacrifice your children, let alone your husband and family Lo! Not everyone is meant to be an office lady, Ne! When Lo is not an office woman does not mean Lo failed or Lo is not successful, Lo can work so anything, Lo can be successful in other fields, do not have to Lo office work, Ne! Guidance different people, everything we should be grateful Ne, Lo will not be satisfied with what you get if Lo himself does not appreciate what Lo has now!”^^^

Bhanu came home an hour early today, because he will attend the seminar tomorrow at 10 am in Bandung. Bhanu will take the first flight to Bandung around 6am. His house looks quiet, Ane is not seen in the middle room. But certainly the wife was at home, her legs immediately stopped right in front of the room door. The sound of chatter was clearly heard in the ears. Bhanu did not intend to eavesdrop just that the chatter was so sensitive that it even managed to provoke Bhanu's emotions and anger. His ears were hot hearing the wife's words so light and selfish.
“Well, I was confused especially the company wanted me to procrastinate first, but instead already so Lin, I was confused! Am I dying?”
“ASTAGFIRULLAH! LO CRAZY, NE!”
“Gue wants Lin to work! I want to be an office lady, I want to like Lo also work in the office,”
“Ne, horrified me, everyone has a different path. And Lo should realize now that Lo is not married anymore, Lo should think from the beginning how if Lo was pregnant when Lo still want to pursue a career. You should think this, or emang since the beginning Lo do not talk about this same husband Lo?”
“Gue forgot and I'm confused now, Lin! I want to fallin aja mumpung mas Bhanu do not know!”
It was enough, Bhanu's ears were hot, the man chose to turn towards the living room. Bhanu threw her body onto the sofa, her anger was rumbling and ready to explode. Bhanu catch his breath, it feels very tight even just breathing, really Bhanu is very disappointed and angry at the silly idea of the wife. Didn't Ane realize since the beginning the woman had done wrong even now Ane wants to act out of her mind. Very hearty and selfish.
Though Bhanu came home to relax and rest for a while then packing for tomorrow with a calm heart but it is contrary to what is now Bhanu felt his heart ache and there was fear if Ane reallyright to do that stupid thing.
“Mas Bhanu!”
The voice made Bhanu turn his head, not far from where he was sitting there the wife was standing stiff there. Bhanu stood up from the sofa stepping closer to Ane— the woman looked not okay, let alone puffy eyes and a little puffy.
Bhanu's gaze was so sharp as if it was able to draw Ane in front of him. Without a word Bhanu pulled Ane's hand towards the room. Ane began to feel tense and her feelings were not good, in her brain was already imagined a no-no. Maybe Bhanu already knew everything even heard the chatter earlier? Ane was getting scared and anxious. He also did not know when Bhanu had been home.
“Sit!” bhanu had Ane sitting on the edge of the bed. Ane according to her eyes watched every move Bhanu where the man stepped closer to the nightstand and pulled the drawer to take the medicine that Ane had been hiding. His eyes were closed in his heart condemning ignorance and praying that Bhanu would forgive him.
Bhanu held up the pill medicine high in front of Ane's face which was now looking at her fearfully even the two dewy eyes of the woman were ready to shed tears.
“Explain the same mas! Why are you doing this without my knowledge!” demand Bhanu try to control the tone of his speech so as not to issue a snapping tone for the wife, his heart still trying to be patient even though it was very difficult.
Ane immediately lowered her head with so much fear within her. Ane could only squeeze her own hands and her little lips muttered softly saying sorry to her husband.
“Sorry Ane, mas! Ane wrong, sorry!”
Bhanu grabbed Ane's face to look at her clearly, “explain mas need an explanation Ane! Why?” those eyes still implied anger and disappointment in Bhanu.
“Ane wants to work so Ane takes the pill—”
“Why don't you talk the same? Who do you think you are, huh? I don't like lying, like this! Since the beginning of the mas already know, well this is the cause of the mas change and you do not even feel guilty at all, you do not feel guilty at all, whereas when you ask the reason mas change and mas turn the question to you but you act as if you did nothing Ane!”
“Sorry, mas sorry—”
“You don't think you're an understanding husband, Ane? Hasn't it always supported you to work? Then why are you doubting me, hm? You're doing all this as if you don't believe in your own husband, Ne! If from the beginning you want to postpone the ready and no problem, but your way is wrong! Very wrong, you took a unilateral decision without talking to the mas! Mas your husband, the head of the household and you don't appreciate it, Ne!”
Ane did not know what else to say, she realized that the mistake that had been made was very fatal, ane's heart throbbed pain looking at the flash of anger from the husband's gaze even though the man's tone was still in a normal tone it was what made Ane even more guilty, why didn't Bhanu yell at him wasn't he wrong?
Bhanu breath for a moment so tight feeling in his chest, his hands clenched tightly until his fingers whitened so strongly. Bhanu felt like he wanted to vent his emotions raw but it should not let alone hurt the wife.
“Now answer honestly, why do you want to abort our child, hm? How much do you love the same job until you are willing to sacrifice our children? ANSWER, NE!” bhanu said full of emphasis.
Ane jolted, this thought was the one that had filled her head. What she doesn't want, Bhanu hears all the chatter with Linda.
“Sorry mas! Ane again wrong, Ane realized, sorry!”
“Can you say another word other than an apology? You need an explanation in your brain to think you would do such a stupid thing!”
“Ane admitted all the mistakes Ane made, Ane realized that Ane had been very outrageous, Ane promised not to repeat the mistake again, sorry Ane! Please mas, Ane realizes Ane is also selfish,”
Ane sobbed to apologize for all the mistakes made she realized very consciously and promised not to do that stupid thing and keep the fetus in the womb.
“Ane promises not to abort our child, Ane loves our child more, Ane realizes that Ane is too obsessed with Ane's dream to work,”
“Honestly angry and disappointed with you, Ne! Mas do not think the same way of your mind, especially so far you are very happy with a small child then why your own child wants—rely mas disappointed!”
Bhanu turned around to pick up the suitcase in the closet and fill a few pieces of clothing. He is not strong, he needs time alone to calm the heart and mind.
“Mas, wait where are you going? Don't leave Ane! Sorry Ane mas!” Ane chases after Bhanu but the man seems indifferent to her even now Bhanu just passes by. Ane broke down on the floor crying out, regretting what was done.
“Sorry dear mama, papa you are angry with mama,” one hand Ane stroked her stomach whispering softly as if inviting her child to talk.
