"Mas Alif," call Humairah when you return.
Her husband turned his head even though the phone call had not been turned off.
"My wife is back, we're waiting for my mom to come home. Take care of your health, send greetings to Arina."
Alif ended the conversation with his mother when Humairah came in. The smile he developed as a helping hand greeted his approaching Aisha.
"Darling, so you met Lola?" ask Alif.
Humairah nodded, showing him a plastic bag filled with food.
"Yes, it just happened to be his turn to be called in for an interview, so I just took his mother's care" Humairah replied.
"What's that?"
"It's a snack made by Lola's own mother, her mother has a home business."
"Maha?" lirih Alif when he realized the unusual look on his wife's face.
Humairah hugged her husband teary eyes, Alif became surprised but of course he also replied with no less tight.
"What what hey?" Ask the man.
"Hearing Mas Alif talk like that to Merry, I became more afraid," replied Humairah as she buried her face in the husband's chest.
Alif frowned for a moment and then he woke up.
"Hey it looks like someone is eavesdropping" Kekeh Alif.
"Don't leave me Alif."
Alif smiled hearing that, he released a hug then looked at his adorable wife's face.
"No, it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't death that took me. I understand how you feel, come on don't be taken seriously it's normal at work" replied Alif with a big smile after giving a long kiss.
"What's? Ordinary thing? Yes, I can see him while he's your secretary. Many temptations to this job, ck...you are annoying," said Humairah with annoyance, the look of his face that is more adorable if being sulky like this makes Alif really crazy about his wife.
"Hey why I'm angry, I refused."
"That's because I'm jealous, isn't it? If I wasn't jealous you'd have accepted it because of the pity she's the widow of three children" Humairah stared intently at Alif as if to eat her husband alive if she remembered Merry's unfriendly look at him earlier.
"I won't accept it, I didn't say that."
"Huh."
"Well I'm really scared right now, let alone you being angry like this, terrible.." cried Alif again.
"Mas Aliiiiiiif.." whiney Humairah with spoiled.
Alif caught his wife's body again, hugging and kissing Humairah's adorable face in satisfaction.
"I love you baby, don't we promise to fix each other? I think my attitude in the office like that was the beginning to take care of myself, carefully make decisions, consider many things, especially my partner's feelings."
"I feel now how beautiful it is to appreciate each other between partners, not just close to anyone let alone a woman. Nothing matters but my wife's feelings, I'm sorry I'm not perfect yet.... But learning to keep getting better takes a process, I just need you to trust me."
Humairah shed her tears as well.
"I love you Mas Alif, I trust you," replied Humairah hugging her husband again.
"I love you even more baby, come on don't be like this."
Humairah nodded with a haru feeling.
"You can choose the criteria for a suitable male secretary to be your replacement later" said Alif again.
Humairah so sparkling.
"May it be like that?"
"Of course, honey, you're free to decide what kind of male secretary I should have. Most importantly he has a lot of experience in this field."
"Can there be any intervention from me on this?"
"What's not for you, you can accompany the Goddess in the interview."
"Good idea."
"Why are you so happy? Oh do you like interviewing a lot of male suitors?"
Humairah chuckled, "Just wash your eyes."
"Darling, okay okay not so. You can't go anywhere!"
"Mas Alf...."
Humairah gave a long kiss before leaving Alif again to the interview room, I don't know this woman is really interested and eager to participate in the selection process of applicants who present job interviews today.
******
Three days after getting a new secretary replaced Humairah in work.
Alif appeared to put on an annoyed face when he first met a man who became his new secretary starting today.
The man just nodded innocently without daring to refute again like earlier, his lips coming forward while looking at Alif's back away.
Alif could not bear to meet his wife as if he wanted to protest at Humairah about the new secretary his wife chose for him at this time.
Driving fast to where Humairah took a pregnant class since the age of six months pregnant, he routinely accompanied his wife to follow all pregnancy class activities twice a week.
Alif walked half a run because he felt late for a few minutes, sure Humairah was standing waiting for him in the doorway of the pregnant gymnastics room.
"I'm sorry I'm late" said Alif, hugging and kissing his wife's forehead.
"No problem, we can catch up," Humairah asked as she held her husband's arm to enter.
Alif felt surprised the quiet room was no one but them.
"Where are the others?"
"They've gone to the pool first, let's get changed!"
"What's? Honey didn't you say there was a class at the pool?" alif asked with a confused look.
Humairah just remembered it, he had indeed forgotten to tell today the class at the pool. He bit his lower lip when Alif upset not to bring a change of clothes, so the man was forced to go into the pool wearing only work pants by removing the top.
Moreover, they are a little late from some couples who take the same class who have been in the pool lucky class has not started.
"Huh you're a bitch.." said Alif pinched Humairah's cheek with anxiety.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you. Forget it, how's your new secretary?" ask Humairah with amused look. He put his hands around Alif's neck.
"Oh I even forgot to protest about it to you," Alif said staring at Humairah sharply.
"Why indeed? I think he's the best secretary, I interviewed him myself..... He's smart and smart."
"Yes but not the goulashy man nor Humairaaaaaaah."
"Honey, though he's a little less manly but I'm sure he's the best of the other suitors. Isn't it good, he is diligent and neat where he knows later he can tidy up my husband's suit if it feels tangled when he wants to meet," Humairah replied by playing his finger on Alif's chest.
Alif shuddered in horror as he imagined the words of his wife.
"Oh my goodness, Humairah, just imagining it making my hair stand up I feel like I want to vomit. You know, just the first day of work she asked me to work for her like you in the same room with me, it's just nice.... That's ridiculous."
Alif looked annoyed by blowing a rough breath, Humairah giggled amusedly because of it.
"Mas Alif come on, you'll get used to it later......"
"Can you just change it? A real man is not half a half." Alif said with a pleading look.
"His name is Barry, but he asked to be called Belinda who is really Humairah...... I don't think he's sane, where there's such a gleaming secretary," Alif said.
"Mas Alif, you cannot judge a person from outside. He is quite experienced, I am sure he is reliable, I see his appearance is also not excessive even though it does not look male, but polite and cute, I like him.... He is friendly and sociable," Humairah replied casually.
"Cmk.... Yes, thankfully he did not grow his hair, oh you pissed me off," Alif said, wiping his wife's face with water.
"Do you want to replace it with Merry? Let's just admit it, not liking Barry is just an excuse."
"I didn't say that" Alif replied quickly.
Humairah looked at her husband in annoyance, making Alif even more confused.
"Why do you think about Merry?"
"Yes the name is similar. Barry's half-woman, Merry's a real woman, right?"
"Darling what's the connection?"
"What do you think of Merry?"
"Why ask like that?"
"Jawab it."
"He's my high school friend, nothing more."
"Not an ex?"
"Honey don't make it up, even close friends not let alone ex, Humairah come on why so discuss Merry?"
"He's not pretty?"
"All women are beautiful."
"Mas Aliiiif," whined Humairah.
"Huh, well he's ugly his eyes squint."
"Mas Alif that includes body shaming."
"I was wrong again."
Without them realizing they have been the center of attention since, being in the corner of the pool jokingly the two discussed the less important thing, occasionally giving each other a kiss of cheek, he said, there is also a sweet quarrel that makes other pregnant couples become envious.
