A Husband's Love

Gara Tini

It has been almost three months since the reference of Andre and Sinta, even Sinta has also finished the sixth semester exam. And during those three months, Sinta and her friends never gathered as usual. Before Andre and Sinta referred, almost every day they gathered at Sinta's house even if only an hour or two.

Moreover, Sinta had stopped selling online, the more there was no reason for them to gather. Sinta really misses that time. He asked Andre for permission. Permission to gather at his home after the midterms are over. Andre very gladly agreed to Sinta's request. In addition, he also he has started to get along with Sinta's friends. But other if on campus. Andre treated Sinta and her friends like any other student. Not looking feather.

In the morning, in a luxurious house. Vina breathed a rough breath. Vina and Radit are having breakfast. More precisely Vina is breakfast while Radit is engrossed with his cell phone. Vina glanced at Radit with her eyes tails. The man still did not touch the breakfast Vina had prepared for him.

"Radit," call Vina slowly. Radit just turned his head and returned to focusing on his phone screen. His fingers danced beautifully on the screen of the phone. From the movement of his finger, it is certain that Radit typed the message.

"My friends and I plan to gather today at Sinta's house. May it?" vina was afraid to ask Radit for permission.

"Who wants to interfere in your business, if you want to go. Just go ahead. Just don't let me go home first" Radit replied flatly. His view did not shift a bit from his phone.

"Alright Radit. Thank you for giving me permission. May I know, what time are you coming home?" asked Vina again very gently.

"Don't interfere in my business!, just leave has not asked what time you go home," replied Radit ketus. Though Vina's intention was to ask him to know before Radit's home.

"Usually when we get together, we'll disperse in the afternoon around five. At six I was home. Can it be Radit?" ask Vina again. He tried to explain to Radit so that Radit would not come home at the hour Vina mentioned earlier,"

"Clearly," replied Radit briefly and ketus.

"I'll take that as Radit's permission. Eat up!" vina said again. Vina pushed a plate of fried rice in front of Radit to get closer.

"I don't like the breakfast. Throw it!" said Radit while glancing at the fried rice made by Vina. He never ate fried rice and rarely even ate fried rice.

"Once in a while it's okay to eat fried rice breakfast. Try first!. Don't play throw it away. There's a lot out there that can't eat breakfast because it's hard to live."

Radit did not answer Vina's words, he pulled the plate containing the fried rice. Irritatedly, Radit scooped a spoonful of fried rice into his mouth. One spoon, two spoons until the fried rice on the plate is left unnoticed.

"So sok nolak and tell him to throw, uh it turns out that the fried rice is thrown into the stomach," said Vina cynically after seeing the empty plate Radit.

"I only appreciate Aunt Ina making it," Radit replied indifferently.

"Unfortunately, it wasn't Ina's aunt but me" Vina said. Radit looked at him in disbelief. Radit spontaneously held his stomach.

"You spewed? Tuh washbasin. Just throw it in there," Vina said again. He moved from his seat.

"How dare you be like me. I won't let you hang out with your best friend" Radit said. Vina is like that. Can be soft, indifferent and even cynical to Radit.

"I just need your permission first. Spit that is thrown away do not lick back. Pamali!" vina cuek. He continued to step up the stairs, only to pick up the bag.

Vina came back down, she came closer to the dining table. Radit was still at home there while holding a glass glass filled with tea made by Vina.

"Radit, I'm saying yes!, remember don't come home before six."

Radit only stared at Vina at a glance without answering Vina. Casually the girl stepped out of the house.

It only takes about an hour Vina on the way. She is now at Sinta's house. The unlocked gate made Vina without shouting could directly enter. The clock pointed to the number ten when Vina had already arrived. Soon Tini, Indah, Cici and Ronal also arrived. Elsa can't come because her mom's sick.

The five friends invaded Airia. Airia changed hands from Vina to Tini. Until the last one into Ronal's hands. The man smiled as he pinched Airia's cheek. Both Vina and Ronal they can already forget the story that happened between them. They gathered in the living room of Sinta's house. Andre also gathered with Sinta's friends.

"Honey, the cake can be removed, everything will be gathered," said Andre softly. Vina and the others were surprised to hear Andre calling Sinta affectionately.

"Cie cie who is dear to you. Airia will definitely get a sister," said Tini. Sinta flicked Tini's forehead.

"What's the bang?" ask Ronal.

"Who do you call brother?" ask Tini. Ronal pointed to Andre.

"Ga what what what. Off campus you can call me freely including brother or sister. But don't call a name. It's not polite that's his name" Andre said smilingly. With Sinta's best friend, Andre also felt happy.

"Well bang," answered almost simultaneously. Sinta and Andre laughed.

"What's that cue bang?" ask Tini again. Tomboy girl like mocking when calling Andre with Brother.

"Our daughter Airia's first birthday today. You guys are the ones who help Sinta a lot. We should celebrate this moment,"

"Oh my goodness, I can forget. I didn't bring any more gifts" Vina said, patting her eel.

"The best gift is Vina's prayer and sincerity. I only expected that from you guys," Sinta said sincerely.

"Where is the cake. Let's blow our candles" said Tini impatiently. He didn't eat breakfast at home. Until he heard the cake, his stomach was increasingly rumbling.

"Wait for Sean's brother first Tini, I also invited him," Sinta replied making Andre spontaneously look at him. Although Sean is Andre's best friend, he doesn't like Sinta inviting him. Previously Sinta only said inviting his friends.

"Loh Sean was also invited. You didn't say it before," Andre said in disbelief but from his tone, Sinta knew that Andre protested disapprovingly.

"Yes must be invited donk mas, you forget?, he used to take care of Airia when I tested, besides Sean's brother is your best friend too," replied Sinta calmly. Andre silent. He doesn't want to argue. After all what Sinta said, everything is true.

"Love, I'm hungry. There's no food other than Airia's birthday cake?" tanya Tini who is increasingly unable to resist hunger. It's ten o'clock past twenty minutes. Tini is naturally very hungry.

Go straight to the kitchen. His stomach cannot be compromised. Luckily Lydia was also in the kitchen so it was not difficult for Tini to find the food that Tini intended. Tini ate very well. It is certain that he did not eat lunch anymore because of the amount eaten at this time. Until the plate is empty.

Tini was not satisfied because she did not eat fruit. It was a habit for him to have lunch. You must eat fruit or drink juice. Tini headed for the refrigerator. Open the refrigerator and look at the contents. Imported fruit only. Close the refrigerator again. He dislikes imported fruit. He prefers local oranges and other local fruits. Not content with looking in the refrigerator, Tini even searched in every corner of that kitchen. Lydia who saw Tini was astonished.

"What's mbak looking for?" ask Lydia's upset. Tini was just a guest but pretentious about that corner of the kitchen. He did not know that Tini was often in the house before Sinta referred to Andre.

"Fruit search,"

"And it's been searched in the refrigerator mbak, in the refrigerator a lot of fruit."

"I don't like imported fruit" Tini replied as she opened the hanging cabinet. Sure enough there was a mango that almost cooked. Tini chose a slightly yellow mango. When choosing the mango. Tini saw plastic bag. Curious Tini took the bag. Tini put the plastic back in its original place.

After eating some mangoes. Tini rejoined the living room. Sean was there too. Tini smiled and felt happy. Being able to meet Sean was a joy for Tini.

"Congratulations yes," Tini said as she touched Sinta's arm. Sinta frowned. His friend congratulated him after he was full.

"Congratulations to what?"

"Congratulations to your second pregnancy" Tini said calmly. Sinta was immediately surprised. She wondered where Tini knew about her pregnancy. Meanwhile, he kept it a secret even from Andre. Andre who heard that was also shocked. She had absolutely no idea if Sinta was pregnant. Moreover, Sinta who saw fresh fit. Doesn't look like any other young pregnant woman. Andre silent. He did not show his ignorance. Andre does not want Sinta's friends to judge him getting worse because they do not know Sinta is pregnant. Pura pura tahu is the best way. Let it be after Sinta's friends come home. Andre will ask Sinta.

"Yeah, Airia's gonna have a sister,"

"Congratulations Sinta, bang Andre,"

"Congratulations bro,"

Congratulations are heard in the room. Andre simply smiled and replied to their congratulations. Sinta was still staring at Tini.

"Where do you know?" tanya Sinta whispered to Tini.

"I saw the pregnant milk in the place of the mango that you are perceiving," Tini replied without whispering. Until they heard the word Tini. Sinta tries to hide the pregnant milk from Andre. But Tini could easily find him. Sinta glanced at Andre. Just as her husband was looking at her. Andre smiled very sweetly. There was no disappointment on his face.

"Yes already. Call it all here. It's time for Airia to blow out the candles" said Andre, who told Lydia to take Airia's birthday cake. Airia has also been dressed very funny by Indah and Vina. Andre wants Airia's birthday show to end quickly so he can ask directly about Sinta's pregnancy. Until the candle blow and Airia's birthday show is over at eleven o'clock.

Andre felt that time was going very slowly. Not to mention lunch. Andre wanted it to feel like wrapping up the lunch and sharing it with Vina and the others and telling them to just go home. Andre did not do that. She did not want Sinta to be angry just because of such a ridiculous thing.

Andre is a little relieved. Lunch is over. They went back to the living room. The clock shows the number one. Since hearing Tini's congratulations, Andre had no longer focused on anything being talked about. His eyes continued to glance at the wall clock.

"Love, for Airia," Sean said as he handed Sinta a small gift. Sinta.

"There's no need to bother, brother,"

"No bother, don't look at the contents. Look at the sincerity of brother."

Andre immediately cleared his throat. Every time Sinta talks to Sean, Andre doesn't like him very much. Andre glanced back at the clockwork.

"From that, eyes go back and forth, look at the clock. Want to ngusir us bang," asked Tini sewot. He had been watching Andre since. The presence of pregnant milk in a hidden place is also still a question mark for him.

"No Tini, you are the one who immediately thinks negative," replied Andre reasoned. Deep in his heart. He confirmed Tini's speech.

"Yes already. I plan on staying here. It's been a long time not sleeping here" replied Tini origin. Andre who heard that was immediately annoyed. If Tini stays here it means her wish to know about Sinta's pregnancy will be delayed.

"Sean, don't let Tini stay here. He just bullies me and Sinta later," Andre told Sean.

"Kok me anyway, he can go home alone,"

"Only you can tame it,"

"What am I an animal?. Must tame. Don't be careless when you say yes, man. I've moved on from Sean's brother anyway. Don't connect me with her" said Tini annoyed. He did not say hello to Sean at all. Seeing Sean who always sits and Cici makes Tini feel jealous. Tini tried to suppress that feeling jokingly. Again, Sinta and others consider the jewel of Tini is just a joke.

"Tini, you don't want a jerk?" sean asked after it was late afternoon. Tini just shook her head. Tini is offended when Sean says Tini can go home alone. To Tini, Sean's invitation was just a stale base for him. Sean and the others are going home to make Andre a little relieved. Andre and Sinta drove guests to the courtyard.

"Tini, thank you very much, yes" said Andre to Tini who later returned home. Tini nodded her head. His heart felt empty to see Cici nebeng into Sean's car. While beautiful to go home with Ronal and Vina to take a taxi. While Andre thanked Tini because Tini told him about Sinta's pregnancy. Had Tini not found the pregnant milk that Sinta hid. Andre must not have known until now about that pregnancy.

Andre held Sinta's hand back into the house. He led Sinta straight to the room.

"Thank you baby, you're pregnant again. Why didn't you tell me?" asked Andre softly. She hugged Sinta with affection.

"What is it need mas, you are too busy this end. I thought you were busy looking for Cindy's whereabouts," asked Sinta back. This past month Andre has never come home fast. He'll be home at eight o'clock at the earliest. Sinta thinks Andre is also looking for the whereabouts of Cindy who disappeared since her father died. Even for the burial of Dion. Cindy is not.

"I don't care about Cindy anymore, baby. Don't mention him in front of me anymore" replied Andre again still softly. She still hugged Sinta.

"You're just the woman I love now and until the end of my life" Andre said. Makes Sinta's heart beat very fast. Sinta feels in dreamland. Sinta pinched Andre's waist. Andre grimacing.

"Kok pinched anyway dear?" ask Andre again. He was not angry even though Sinta's pinch was very painful.
