Wife To Fernando
one hundred and forty-one

Fernando woke up when it was dark, he looked around his room, dark and quiet.

It used to be possible that he liked this atmosphere, but since marrying Rara, he actually hated the dark and lonely atmosphere in his room, which was very quiet,

Because the atmosphere like now means his wife is not on his side, there is no sound or laughter.

Fernando got up, his stomach felt hungry, he remembered this morning breakfast with provisions brought by Anna.

The man decided to take a bath first, before leaving again for the hospital, maybe Aileen was whining for him right now.

Before long, the man was ready with the Hoodie army and black jeans, he picked up a cell phone and a wallet in the cabinet next to the bed.

There were several missed calls and incoming messages, mostly from Anna, she called back Benedict's mother.

It wasn't Anna who answered but the toddler's cry whined for her.

Fernando picked up the car keys while hearing Aileen's complaint,

"Yes this Papa also wants to go there, forgive papa was asleep,"

"....."

"Where if the chocolate is tomorrow, it's late at night, the teeth will be eaten by caterpillars,"

"....."

"Yes, I'm closing up, yeah,"

At least with Aileen he was not too sad when his wife and child did not return.

Fernando sighed, until now his wife has not reached home, but Cristy said since this afternoon Rara had come home.

What was it when he slept, his wife came back and left again because she saw that he was home?

Those bad thoughts he tepis, can't his wife like that.

Did Cristy lie to him?

Just thinking about him dizzy, maybe by hearing the ravings of Aileen will treat his loneliness.

But when Fernando opened the door of his car, right in front of the gate of his house, there was a car stopped, I don't know what they were talking about in there.

Five minutes passed, no sign of anyone getting out of the black car.

Fernando thinks it's a guest next door, will certainly make it difficult for him who will take out his car.

The man walked to the front door of the gate, intending to reprimand the owner of the car.

But what he saw, made him fixated, right in front of the fence of his house there was Pradikta who brought a suitcase and stroller then opened the car door, then Rara came out with Arana.

He could hear the conversation of the two men,

There was no hug or kiss on the forehead like he had seen before, only a wave of the woman's hand for Pradikta until the car turned at the end of the alley.

Rara is seen opening a folded stroller and putting Arana there.

Fernando's heart beat faster than usual, the woman walked up to him by pushing the stroller and pulling the large suitcase.

Rara searches for the key in her backpack, but she has not found it yet, the gate opens.

Fernando stood right beside the open gate,

A surprised look appeared on the face of the hijab-wearing woman, but within seconds the expression changed.

A wide smile adorned Rara's face looking at who was standing before her.

The woman said her greetings, went up to him, took his hand and kissed the back of his hand, and asked him how he was doing.

Fernando was still silent to see everything his wife was doing, until the gentle call awakened him.

"Mas, how are you quiet? I wasn't answered, so I can go into umi's house you can't?"ask Rara.

Fernando regained consciousness, took over the suitcase his wife had pulled, pushed the stroller away, and closed the gate again.

His wife walked first, but her steps stopped because the door was locked,

Fernando gives her the key, and Rara accepts.

The woman walks into the kitchen, her habit after traveling is to drink water first in the kitchen.

Rara headed towards the living room where her husband was holding his little daughter, muttering something.

"Why are you from earlier on in diem, you canker sores or again toothache?"rara asked while opening the hijab and then Ciput who was in her head.

Fernando, who was still looking down while fondling his daughter, turned his gaze to the woman who had kept him in a fog for days.

"Where do I know," she shrugged her shoulders, "gold me I'll take Arana for a second yeah, I'll take a shower,"

The woman simply passed by, as if there was nothing to talk about between the two of them.

Fernando looked at his little daughter, really similar to himself, he so remembered his picture as a child, exactly the same, can be said to be a female version.

He kissed his daughter, the smell of a typical baby, it seemed like this was his second favorite scent.

While playing with her daughter, her phone rang, she took it out of her pants pocket, with Anna's name on the screen.

Fernando forgot, if he was going to visit Aileen, as usual, he picked up the video call.

Aileen's face filled the screen of her phone.

"Where's Papa Nando? Why not come?"ask the toddler.

Fernando smiled, "sorry princess papa, it looks like papa can't go there tonight" he said.

Those blue eyes glazed over, "why? Is papa sick?"tanyakanya.

Fernando shook his head, "why is there a sudden affair Ai dear,"

The toddler whined, until Anna approached him to calm him down.

The turn of the middle-aged woman asked her the reason,

"Nando has a sudden need Auntie,"

"Awhile do, at least until Aileen sleeps,"

Fernando kept thinking until the clap on his knee woke him up,

"Well, get over there, Aileen," whispered Rara.

The man was surprised, his wife who was wearing strawberry pyjamas with her head still wrapped in a towel, maybe the woman had washed her hair, was already next to him.

"Yes Auntie, I'm there now,"

Fernando ended his call.

"I'm asking you not to go anywhere, stay home, I'll go for a minute" he said.

"Where are you going? I want to sleep," said Rara while asking Arana.

"What is the guarantee that you won't leave me again?"fernando was standing right in front of his wife.

Rara looked up at her husband, "i'm not going anywhere, I want to sleep, you know, so there's a sneak, Aileen's kasian crying," she said as she passed, but her steps stopped,

"You come with me" he said, blocking his wife's arm.

Rara shook her head, "I'm going to sleep with Fernando's father, so take your hands off,"

"Mara, I need a guarantee, so you don't leave me again,"

Rara sighed, lazily arguing, "you take my purse in the bag, take it there, and let go of your hand,"

Fernando let go of his hand on his wife's arm, then took his wife's backpack, he took the maroon-colored wallet.

"Don't you, now please go, don't forget to lock the gate, I want to go straight to sleep,"

"Wait for Amara,"

"Especially mas," said Rara annoyed while exhaling her tired breath.

Fernando took his daughter and put her in a stroller, after making sure her daughter was safe, he approached his wife.

His left hand hugged the woman's waist, while his right hand held the nape and the lips of the two clashed against each other.

Lips that for the past three months he could only imagine, finally now he could feel again in real.

It's not enough to just cross his lips, he put his tongue in it, the same smell of toothpaste as him.

Fernando pressed the nape of his wife more and more, it felt like something was tickling his stomach, his happiness hormone increased.

If Rara hadn't patted him on the shoulder, maybe he would have kept doing it until it ended up on the bed.

"Aileen is waiting,"

Pull it out of Fernando's mouth, "don't go anywhere, I'll be right back,"

The man kissed his wife's forehead gently, then touched her daughter's cheek, he rushed out of his house.
