A Husband's Love

Meaning of Love

Sinta kept putting on a smiley face. Her dream today came true. Becoming a first-degree scholar is his dream since long ago to improve the standard of living of his family. But before becoming a scholar, the standard of living of his family has begun to increase thanks to Andre. All the pain that Andre had incised was completely forgotten with Andre's kindness to the Sinta family.

Sinta had also buried the meeting of the past meeting. There Sinta increasingly wants to make her husband happy who gives a lot of love for her.

Sinta looked at her husband who was talking seriously with papa Panji and mama Ria on the sofa. Since returning from the photo studio. Sinta refrained from hugging her husband. The situation did not allow this time to make her husband happy. At home they are now gathered by a large family of Papa Rahmat and his parents who came specifically from the village to attend this graduation.

Sinta eventually joined her husband's extended family. Sinta sat next to Mama Ningsih as the old woman gestured for Sinta to come closer.

"Can we have lunch?. Mama's hungry" whispered Mama Ningsih. Sinta chuckled and parted into the dining room to see their lunch preparations today.

"Drink this first ma," said Sinta as she offered a glass of juice to her in-laws. After checking into the kitchen, they enjoyed lunch in half an hour. They do not use catering services for this event. All Sinta food and drink art that is prepared is assisted by art from the house of Mama Ningsih.

"Thank you son. It's quite a tummy waiting for lunch" replied mama Ningsih smiling.

"Ma, I'll go to the room first. Change clothes."

Mama Ningsih nodded. Sinta put her foot up the stairs. In the middle of the stairs, Sinta was surprised by Andre's legs that arrived to align the steps with her.

"Just take it you pa" said Sinta as she held her chest. Andre laughed and linked his hands at Sinta's waist. They continued with Andre's hand still on his wife's waist.

"Thank you pa" Sinta said as she hugged her husband tightly after they were in the room.

"Thank you for what, baby?.

"Thank you for all the support and love you have given me so far" said Sinta, who still put her head on the husband's chest. Andre laughed while stroking Sinta's head.

"That's a tough answer and my love for you dear. And I feel it's nothing compared to the wounds ever...."

Sinta put her index finger on her husband's lips. He was determined to forget all those painful stories.

"Don't remind me of that wound. Be a good husband and father to this little family of ours with no room in your heart for another woman" Sinta said, looking up at her husband's face. After she finished saying, Sinta got a short kiss on her lips.

"Definitely darling. I'm also pretty sure that you're the best woman for me."

Sinta smiled and released her embrace from Andre. Andre's sincere words always make Sinta sure that only he will be the occupant of Andre's heart for ever until aging.

"You don't want to make me happy, baby?" asked Andre while catching Sinta's hand so as not to get away from him. Andre again pulled Sinta into his arms. When Sinta looked up at her husband's face. Andre blinked one eye.

"Don't pervert in broad daylight like this. We just haven't had lunch yet" said the spoiled Sinta. Andre chuckles.

"Any lunch?. Ask Andre again. Sinta glares. Andre laughed even more.

"We're still having a show over lunch. Once a time fasting needs under the stomach donk pa."

"Ih. The perverted one looks like you. I'm not asking for that need. I'm still sane to attend your graduation until it's over, baby" Andre said with a smile and pinched his cheeks with his adorable wife.

"Quickly change your clothes dear and please bring clothes for me too. You'll know what happiness I want after lunch. I make sure it's not just me who feels happy later," Andre said making Sinta squint her eyes. He could not yet guess what kind of happiness Andre wanted from him today. Sinta complied and did not ask much more. She changed into more casual clothes and gave clothes to her husband who also looked very relaxed.

The two of them went down the stairs hand in hand. Food and drinks were served at the table with close relatives who had arrived. Sinta and Andre did celebrate this graduation event simply by inviting the nuclear family, relatives and closest neighbors according to Sinta's request.

The event began with a prayer together and then continued with lunch. Although the celebration is simple but the food and drinks are quite luxurious. After the dinner was over. Many words of advice were conveyed by both Sinta and his two in-laws. Not just advice. The hope for Sinta to become a better woman, success and of course success is more to lead a successful woman to be a good wife and a wise mother to her two daughters.

Sinta shed tears hearing all the advice and hopes of her parents to her. What's more, both parents already know the plan of Sinta and Andre who will continue their education abroad. Sinta could not hold back her tears. The shadow of the past when he asked permission to both parents to continue college to the city came to his mind. All the difficulties and hardships of that time accompanied her to be in this city until she decided on her husband's mistress. The advice of both parents seemed to emphasize to Sinta to always be honest whatever their situation to the extended family both to the biological parents and to his two in-laws. Sinta could clearly catch the worry in every word of her parents.

"Mom and Dad don't have to worry. We only continue studying abroad and only four years at the most" said Andre in response to all the advice, hopes and concerns of his two parents-in-law. The two old men Sinta just nodded.

"Pak Panji and Ria's mother. I am the father-in-law of my father and mother's daughter. Will make sure they live and study abroad as comfortable as possible. Father and mother do not need to worry," said papa Rahmat again strengthen the hearts of his two iron. Again they just nodded.

"Son Andre. Sinta is your wife. When you guys get married. One word comes out of your mouth to advise you. But today. Papa has a request for you. Sinta is the wife and mother of your two daughters' sons. Before you love him. We loved him first. We never hurt him. And I hope you don't hurt her anymore. We are not good parents for Sinta. But papa please. You don't join in being a husband who is not good for our daughter" said Papa Panji sadly. I don't know why even though I have seen Sinta happy with her small family. Papa Panji still said that word.

"Papa believed in me pa. Sinta is my rib pa. If he gets hurt then I get hurt the most" Andre said wisely and sincerely.

Sinta is getting sobbing. The words of bad parents. Sinta clearly knew what it meant. Before meeting with Andre. Sinta once cried for being a widow. But look at the situation now. Sinta is grateful for taking the right decision to make up with Andre.

"Don't cry baby. It's a happy day for us" whispered Andre. His hand was rubbing against those tears.

"It's a grateful and happy tear pa" Sinta replied in a whisper.

After the event give advice from parents and in-laws. Now it's her brother-in-law's second turn to advise Sinta.

"Don't forget to bring a third child from abroad Andre, Sinta. Let there be papa and mama's grandchildren who are printed and born abroad" Andi said. He was the last to give advice and hope but it was his words that made everyone in the house laugh. Sinta only blushed to hear the words of her brother-in-law while Andre gave his thumbs up.

"Yuk, out. Now it's your turn to entertain us and channel the hobby" Andre said as he led Sinta to the porch of their home. Sinta. He just understood the happiness that Andre wanted from him.

On the terrace is already available keyboard along with other tools.

"You mean. I'll cheer you up by singing" asked Sinta as she looked at the keyboardist who was ready to sit in his place.

"I want to enjoy your voice like it was at Vina's wedding, baby" Andre said.

"Who is afraid. But just stay. I called Vina and Tini to join us."

Sinta contacted Vina and Tini via video call groups. Sinta recounted Andre's request and asked two friends and a couple to come home. And Sinta's invitation was welcomed two pairs of his best friend.

"Before you sing. I'm singing a special song to you, baby," Andre said.

"What's pa's title?"

"The meaning of love from Rizky Febian," said Andre then stepped towards the keyboard. Andre's soft voice was heard starting the song. Sinta smiled happily. Andre seemed to be living the song. But then Sinta laughed seeing Andi and Bayu who had also taken the microphone. They also want to sing the song to their beloved wife. The song was repeated for the second time by the three brothers. All those who were still at home have now gathered on the terrace and yard of the house of love. And that made the women laugh. Mr. Grace does not want to lose. He also went ahead and asked for the song to be sung by the four of them for their respective wives.
