When My Wife is Different
Romantic dinner plans.

Jombang looked a little hot today. Even though it is late afternoon, the sun still feels warm on the skin. The road is relatively crowded, ordinary days are already a bit jammed especially Sunday night. Some points where roadside hangouts began to be crowded with street vendors who peddle their wares.

Irham asked the Taxi driver to stop at one of the satay sellers, Irham remembered the Turkish kebab and Pie for Dinar to miss in his car which was brought to the workshop.

"It's still a while, sir?" ask Irham to the father of the satay seller who is still starting to prepare.

"Lumayan, Mas. Just wanted to burn the boar."

"Oh, well, next time, sir."

Irham spread his gaze looking for the right food for his wife. Dinar does not like soupy foods, such as, meatballs, soto, rawon, and other soupy foods, for that Irham sort out.

Eventually the choice fell on the moonlight and banana aroma.

The man got back in the car after carrying a tent in his hand.

" This is for the Father." Irham handed the parcel to the taxi driver.

"Well, don't bother, Mas." refused the Father, feeling bad.

"No bother sir, I happened to buy my wife. Accepted yes sir, to the family at home."

"Thank you, Mum."

"Together."

After the trip was only filled by the sound of car radio, until the blue four-wheeled vehicle arrived in front of Irham and Dinar's house.

After paying the bills and getting out of the car, Irham hurriedly stepped into his residence.

His arrival in welcome kiss hands and warm embrace Dinar. Turns out Ilyas also immediately want to be carried.

"Let Abi change first, son." Dinar wanted to ban Ilyas, but first Irham chimed in. "Mas had stopped at the mosque to change clothes earlier."

Ah, true. The clothes Irham wore were different from the ones he wore this morning.

The parcel in his hand was immediately extended to Dinar, and his hand was rushing to reach his son who had embraced his feet.

"How are the victims, Mommy." Dinar is grateful her husband came home none less.

"Still in the hospital for recovery."

"Is there a family?"

"Not yet, so it was a little while ago to take care of it." explained Irham.

Dinar nodded, receiving a helping hand from Irham to be led into the living room.

******

They sat down with plates containing bright moon and banana scents, with a small pot of warm tea.

Dinar poured the tea into a cup for Irham, Irham received it with pleasure.

"Mas wants to say something."

"Yes?"

"The person that Mas brought to the hospital was Ratih and her husband." - honestly Irham.

Dinar was stunned, but smiled sweetly later.

Just a coincidence!

Dinar thinks positively.

Irham leaves Ilyas playing robot. Approaching Dinar and holding the woman's hand.

"Mas wants to be honest because he doesn't want the events that happened yesterday to happen again, people say, experience is the best teacher."

They do not know if love comes because they are used to it. It is only legal if it happens to halal couples like Dinar and Irham. Love in a marriage is up and down.

Dinar did not realize that her husband was like losing himself when he learned that his family sent divorce papers to the court, panicking, Tremor, sad, even continued to blame themselves. Dinar doesn't understand that Irham really wants to change for their little family.

What Dinar can do is build a sense of trust in Irham, Dinar never before in the slightest doubt her husband, only after what happened a lack of trust was not able to remove Dinar from his small head.

It turns out that Irham is still an ordinary man who can be khilaf.

Malamannya. Irham fell asleep first after the Isha prayer. Dinar's husband looked good in his sleep. The man hugged his baby whose baby is increasingly having a face similar to the father.

The dinar reads a series of messages from someone there.

Pretty familiar. And just by reading it Dinar knows who sent the message to her husband.

Dinar had no idea that Irham had blocked the woman's contact before, and now she sent a message with a new number.

Kang Irham, can you please take IrRa and Mustika to Mom's house tomorrow? Poor them no one takes care of later.

There was nothing strange about the message, but why did the woman writing the name IrRa have to use the letters I and R with capital letters? Like affirming something. What does her son's name stand for and her husband's name?

Dinar's heart was pounding, all night he couldn't sleep lena. It was only at dawn that Irham turned to hug him tightly, making Dinar a little calmer.

******

"Yank .." The next morning Irham was ready with stelan, to teach.

Since last night Dinar hasn't been able to voice a message on Irham's phone.

Until this morning after breakfast her husband talked to her.

There's a sense of relief Irham is honest. But, it is undeniable that Dinar rather unacceptable if Irham returned to meet the woman.

"Let's go to the hospital for a bit. Ratih asked for help to take his children to his parents' house." so Irham told Dinar at the dinner table.

Dinar lowered his head, Irham who sensitized approached the wife to be hugged, not only in the hug, Irham also dyed the pinnacle of Dinar's head in a row.

"Don't be jealous. Really, only you are currently filling Mas' heart, Dinar." whispered Irham.

"Or gini only, you let us take Mr. Wildan to the restaurant where we first ate as a couple, Mas want dinner with you there. Ilyas let Umi, let Mas ask permission."

"No need, Mas. Dinar is not papa."

"Yes, you're not papa, but I thought, get ready, we go to Abah's house, we take you guys to the cottage, we meet at the restaurant, later you can order the grilled fish as much, you can order the whole fish, today Mas payjian." Irham's speech inevitably splashed Dinar's laughter. Pak Kiai Ahmad Sulaiman's son finally agreed to the husband's plan.

*****

Irham actually drove Dinar and Ilyas to her in-laws' house.

The welcome of Pak Kiai Ahmad Sulaiman and Umi Zalianty was as warm as ever.

Even they asked Irham for breakfast together, it's a pity that Irham had to leave quickly, the activities are crowded today. And, Irham also had to prepare a romantic dinner for his wife.

Sometimes something that we have planned with all our heart, the ending is not as expected.

That afternoon Irham picked up the children of Ratih from the house of his caretaker to be delivered to the family home of Ratih's husband.

After Ashar Irham had warned Mr. Wildan to deliver Dinar at 8 pm to the restaurant he had ordered before.

The man's smile never faded from his lips, a guava-colored robe of his own choice Irham had sent for Dinar.

Tonight, Irham is eager to show Dinar that he wants to start all over again. They started from the same restaurant when they first became married couples.

When his working hours ran out, Irham prepared to take an order of flowers that he would bring for his wife.

As his hand grabbed the car keys on the desk, his phone rang.

"City, Assalamualaikum...."

" ..............

"What's? I'll be right there."

Tut's.

The step of the man swung increasingly fast towards his car, in the step of the accelerator pedal as he was able. His destination was the hospital he had just visited a few hours ago.
