A Mistake

Papa's Cuisine

Dinner that day was different.not because Hara did not eat because of sleep, but the three adults who were at one table was no sound.

"Mas, Dira wants to go to the room first see Hara.." said Dira break the silence.

"But your meal isn't finished, dear..."

"Dira was full... Jessi's sister, Dira goes first..."

"Yes, after I finish bribing Erik I also go to the room right away" Jessica replied... "Erik's done, baby?"

"Mommy's mother,.."

"Wash your hands, wash your feet, brush your teeth and keep poking..."

"Yes mom... About Hans... Hara is angry with Erik, right? How come Hara doesn't want to bust Erik?"

"Not angry dear. but Hara again kangen same mother..."

"Ooo...so is it?" Hans nodded. "This way, Erik went bobok first, om." said Erik innocently. The boy immediately stepped into Hara's bedroom. Hans immediately left the dinner table because he felt uncomfortable just alone with Jessica there.

"Hans.." call Jessica clean.

"What...?!" hans said in a sharp tone.

"I'm sorry about yesterday..."

"Forget it. and don't try to tell you the same story..."

"But Hans..." Hans just left, regardless of the sentence Jessica wanted to say.

Hans entered his room with slow steps in fear of surprising his wife. On top of the bed, he saw Dira was laying her body tilted towards Hara.

"Darling... Have you slept?"

"Not yet... why?" Dira is seen rubbing his eyes rough and then turning his body towards her husband while smiling forced. "Mas need Dira's help?" he said as he woke up from his sleep and quickly sat down. "Can anyone help you?"

"Dear, baby. Did you cry?" Hans looked at his wife's face and was about to wipe the remaining tears of Dira that were still on his cheek, but Dira brushed off her husband's hand.

"No...Dira is not crying. This was splashed with water when Dira nemenin Hara was in the bathroom..."

'I'm sorry I lied to you. I just don't want to look weak in front of you. I have to be a stronger person for Hara... Although my heart actually hurt with your rejection. I don't want to be so bad to you, but your rejection made me trust a little bit of sister Jessica's words... It's my fault for letting people in your past into our household. For that, it is appropriate if I am the one who has to endure this pain...'

"But your eyes are also red.. Baby don't lie.. Why are you crying? Was it because of the rejection this afternoon? I'm sorry, are you...?" Hans hugged Dira, but a second later Dira let go of her husband's embrace.

"Don't be so clueless...Dira is a grown man, even Dira also has children... Why just because it is not in reply to the kiss just cry.." said Dira trying to cover up his sadness. "Well, what did you want? Want to peel the fruit, make coffee or tea maybe?" Dira continued to try to show that he was okay, trying to distract Hans.

"I want you.." teased Hans. He hugged Dira again but Dira released her softly.

"There's Hara here mas.." he said.

"We just go to my work space yuk... You still remember right? There's a bed there..."

"Other times yes... Dira is afraid that Hara will wake up and look for Dira again." reject Dira with subtle words. Hans felt like there was something different about his wife since this afternoon. Dira tonight as if as hard as trying to be okay, but the look of his eyes that can not lie..

"Dear you why? If it wasn't for the incident in the workspace earlier, would there have been an attitude that has disappointed you?" Hans slid his head in Dira's lap.

"It's okay, really... Dira's fine too."

"But from now on you avoid continuing to mas, mas so sad..."

"It's just a feeling. It's better we go to bed soon, tomorrow we have to work, right? Sleep properly..." Dira lifted Hans head slowly onto the pillow, then laid her body facing towards Hara again and turned her back on her husband.

Hans took a deep breath, there was a sense of sadness because since the afternoon Dira seemed to ignore him.

"Darling... Can you not face here? We're on our backs anyway." whining Hans.

"So you're not the same? Lagian Hara is also sleeping..."

"Udah deh buruan mas sleep, do not whine continue rich little children... Ask for everything, emang mas also kasian same Dira...?" murmured Dira who was still heard by Hans ears.

'Astaghfirullah. Did Dira know what was going on between me and Jessica before she walked into the study... O Allah. Why for the umpteenth time I always make a mistake that makes Dira hurt.,.'

"Darling to say something to you, but confused where to start... I'm afraid you're angry, but I swear to God, I did it unintentionally..." Hans ultimately intended to tell Dira everything honestly. But Dira just silently did not respond, Hans turned to his wife, he saw Dira still remain in the position of his back. But it is clearly seen if Dira is still not moving, her breathing rises and falls regularly. Yes.it indicates that Dira is now really asleep.

"Oh Allah... I'm sorry, dear." said Hans while rubbing his wife's face..."Astaghfirullah haladzim in his sleep he cried to shed tears.pardon my dear..." Hans rubbed Dira's tears dripping on her smooth cheeks, then briefly kissed her forehead and lips made Dira squirm for a moment and then fell asleep again. Though Hans hoped Dira woke up with a kiss on his lips earlier, but unexpectedly it was Hara who woke up until he saw her father was kissing his mother.

"Pa... What are you doing?" ask Hara who sat down.

"Eh, Hara, how do you wake up. Why?" Hans was surprised and asked his son.

"Hara's hungry pa..." Hans glanced at the wall clock installed in his room.

"Byok we go down slowly, ati-ati do not let mama wake up..." Hara nodded then slowly she got off the bed. Hans enveloped his wife first before he and his son finally exited the room and finally descended towards the kitchen.

"What do you want to eat?" hans asked after sitting his son in the bar.

"What has pa... Mr. Mus is also sleeping pa... Hara eat anything important do not wake up Mr. Mus ya pa. kasian..."

'God willing, this child has really grown up very well, not only well born but also good. Dira is a great wife and mother...'

"Pa... Hara wants bread and milk kayak just now, let papa not bother.pa... papa..." Hara's call broke her daydream.

"What does Hara actually want to eat?"

"Hara actually wants to eat spaghetti bolognese made by mama, but unfortunately the mama has been spoiled." said Hara.

"It's just cooking it, papa can also..."

"Serious papa can cook?" Hans nodded with a smile, then he started preparing the required ingredients from the refrigerator. Hans was so skilled at boiling spaghetti noodles and then chopping ingredients to make a bolognese sauce mixed with minced meat.

And not until an hour of cooking desired by Hara was finished in cooking and served in front of Hara.

"Hara cobain ya pa. kaluan ya lakan ya compared to mama's cuisine.." tease Hara with a funny face mimic.

"Come hunt icipin dong.." said Hans impatiently. Hara then immediately put a mouthful of her papa cooking into her mouth and then she scrunched her forehead.

"Where?" hans asked curiously. Hara was silent for a moment...

"Waaah papa great.. it turns out that papa and mama's cooking is equally delicious....."

"Seriously?" Hara answered her papa's question with a nod as she was busy enjoying the dishes served by her papa. Hans smiled as he rubbed the sauce around his son's lips.

And unbeknownst to the two of them, there was a pair of beautiful eyes watching the ungodliness of the two of them while crying out in tears. That pair of eyes is Dira's pair of eyes.

'Mas Hans was so sweet to treat Hara, so gentle to Hara as well but would Mas Hans also treat me as sincerely as he treated Hara? I don't know...'
