When My Wife is Different

When My Wife is Different
Chapter 1


The yellow turmeric bedaster lady hurriedly stepped her feet to open the door when the roar of the car engine sounded.


His worn and tired-looking face was so excited as his hand turned the doorknob.


"Waalaikumsalam.." she answered cheerfully when she heard the husband's voice coming. But his beloved husband was staring blankly inward instead of welcoming his wife's hand. The sturdy body wrapped in the white shirt missed not caring about it.


"Your mother is home?" that question was mandatory when the man came home from teaching.


The woman's smile was not welcomed. The man she greeted with a sweet smile actually went through it just like that.


Dinar the wife looked confused ignored her husband. Dinar looked straight at her husband who was walking further and further away from where he was standing.


Dinar gushing not want to be abandoned by her husband.


Dinar's habit was to tell Irham a lot of things when the man came home from work.


"Mas, earlier...


The woman's words stopped finding the sharp gaze of her husband.


Dinar was still smiling cheerfully as suddenly the smile slowly disappeared.


"By Allah I am tired of all this. Can you and Ilyas take a moment home to Abah?"


Dinar was stunned to hear her husband's words.


Wasn't their marriage all right?


"But why, Mom?" The dinar asked confusedly. Irham shook her head and looked at the woman who had given her a son three years ago. "Yes..."


"I want us to be alone first, really, I'm tired of living with you." Irham left Dinar who did not understand the meaning of the husband's words. What's wrong with him?


Dinar stared at the door of the room that had been sealed shut. Dinar tries to remember the location of his mistake that upset Irham, but does not find his fault.


What makes Irham tired of living with him?


Dinar did not follow her husband, she planned to talk about everything tomorrow, when their only son was fussy because of fever, Dinar chose to put Ilyas to sleep.


Dinar thought positively of her husband's anger because Irham was thinking a lot. And, it will subside tomorrow.


******


In the morning Dinar woke up. Last night he really stayed up because he was looking after Ilyas. He came out of the room after a very late prayer.


Upon opening the door, Dinar finds Irham sitting at the dinner table enjoying her breakfast.


"Mas, sorry I didn't prepare breakfast for you, I just woke up because..."


Prangs!


Irham violently slammed the spoon on the plate that still left fried rice. Making Dinar startled and rewind his steps. Who would approach Irham to kiss her cheek. "Yes..." Was Irham really serious about what he said last night? Butwhy?


Dinar kept trying to find the wrong location until Irham's voice made him realize. "I didn't find any groceries in the fridge other than eggs and cold rice, how could you leave the fridge empty like that while we need stock of groceries?"


Dinar. He completely forgot to tell Irham if it was time for them to go shopping.


"Mas I completely forgot, though..."


"What do you think you are doing ? Everything you do is always a mess."


Really, I'm so sick of Irham seeing his wife's behavior.


Dan, Dinar was shocked by Irham's words.


*******


That morning Irham died Dinar with the feeling of being arrogant instead of playing, to the point that he forgot his son who had not been swept since yesterday.


In the cottage where he taught he was surprised by the arrival of the great teacher from the city of Jombang.


Irham was in the fog because there was no preparation and the guests arrived.


"Pak Kyai asked Gus Irham himself to prepare his speech" said one of the auxiliary teachers there.


"Change didn't tell me." said Irham in self-defense.


"Didn't Mr. Kyai come to Gus' house last week?" ask the teacher.


Last week?


Irham recalled that last week she had the contents of the study outside the city, of course they did not meet in person, then her in-laws must have conveyed it to Dinar, he said, but the woman foolishly did not tell him. Irham was furious, where would he put his face now?


Irham is a serious type of person, he does not like carelessness, unfortunately he is paired with a woman who is less smart in terms of discipline, ah, not less smart but can not at all.


How did he fall in love with Dinar?


It really doesn't make any sense.


Afternoon, after fighting with emotions and completing an impromptu welcome that went successfully. Phone's vibrating. Seeing the name of the wife listed there he was reluctant to open it. He left it alone, and chose to tidy up his books before returning home.


Irham got into her car and headed to her house lazily and irritated. On the street he saw a minimarket and pulled over to buy some groceries. Because, he was sure if Dinar would not want to go anywhere without him.


And, it's really proven. When he came to greet the sound of Ilyas' crying that he found.


His son whines for milk and the stupidity of Dinar he forgets his son's milk, left to run out.


"Mas, are you home?" tanya Dinar tries to cheer up. But, it looked tired that he could not hide.


Irham's emotions increasingly become to see his son starving, the state of the house chaotic. And... Don't forget the shabby look of his wife.


What the hell is the work of this woman, just pleasing the view of the husband is not becus.


Irham limp saw that. He is like living in hell.


Overflowing is Irham's anger. Nearly four years of disappointment he expressed for his wife.


"You are not a wife, you are not a mother. Today you've made me endure the embarrassment, why can't you be anything? I swear I regret marrying a woman who doesn't know anything like you, Dinar."


Silent.


Irham sighed heavily when she saw Dinar's eyes glazed over. Wanting to hug him for feeling guilty but he was afraid of Dinar returning big head, so, after berating his wife he passed leaving Dinar to immediately refresh himself.


*****


After bathing Irham did not find Dinar in the room. Usually the woman is always there when she is in the room, Dinar likes to tease her, invite her to joke, although Irham never responded, Dinar is very boisterous, likes to talk too much to make Irham dizzy. But not for now. The room was empty, there was no noisy dinar. It made Irham's eyebrows clink.


After wearing clothes, Irham went out of the room to look for the whereabouts of his son and wife.


Irham was stunned to see Dinar sitting before his son with a bowl of instant noodles. The dinar looks different. He looked pale, his hand that was bribing the noodles seemed to tremble. Irham was wrong.


He wanted to get close but prestige. Irham approached his son.


"Ilyas let's go with Abi!" take him to his son.


Ilyas immediately smiled widely and went into Irham's sling. Irham glanced at Dinar who enjoyed instant noodles voraciously. Irham was stunned, considering that his wife had not liked the food. Is his shaking hand because it's so hungry?


"You..." Irham hesitated to ask, but she was curious. "Aren't you cooking?"


The hand movement of the Dinar stopped. The woman who is usually always chatty is now just raising her head before finally answering asked Irham.


"Kan, the food at home runs out, Mas." he said.


Instead of pitying Irham was furious.


"You live in an environment where everything can be easily reached, staying out of here not up to two hundred meters has many stalls lined up there that sell various types of foodstuffs." irham snapped unconsciously.


This wife really.


The haggard-faced woman was shortened in shock, but Irham saw her small smile. Before that remark slapped his pride.


"Buy what?" tanya Dinar with teary eyes. "Once I called Mas Irham but I didn't pick up."
