A Reply to My Husband

Cold War

Rania wriggled and turned her head to the side, she saw Barra still sleeping soundly with her hands embracing her stomach. Almost every night after he fell asleep Barra quietly followed to the room and slept beside him. Rania repeatedly kicked him out but he kept pushing.

Where is there a couple who will divorce but sleep still cuddle like this?

If in the past Rania would have rushed to get up then cook and clean the house, now no longer. Barra wouldn't let him do any work. Everything was done by the maid. Even all of Rania's needs had been prepared by a special servant to her own.

Barra spoiled him very much. Now he is not only possessive, but also overprotective. She did not want to leave Rania alone and did not want anything to happen to her when no one was accompanying her.

Barra squirmed, making Rania immediately turn her gaze the other way. Rania was about to remove Barra's hand from her stomach. He wants to go to the bathroom.

"Why? You want to puke? You need anything?' Barra immediately woke up as soon as she felt Rania's hand touch her hand.

"I just want to go to the bathroom."

"Alright .. I'm delivering." Barra hurried to stand up to pick up Rania.

"Geez Barra, I'm just going to the bathroom. I can walk by myself!"

"Oh .. yes," said Barra with a disappointed face.

Barra's getting ready to go to work. Rania lay back on her bed. There is no longer the habit of preparing matching clothes and ties. Or Barra's screams asking for socks. Besides because Barra had banned it, Rania herself was also lazy to do it.

"Darling ... Do you want breakfast downstairs or do I have Ma'am deliver your breakfast to the room?"

"Barra .. stop calling me that."

"You're still my wife, I'm free to call you as I please. Honey ... can you help me put this tie on?"

"I'll eat downstairs," Rania replied regardless of Barra's request. He left Barra who was still busy tidying up his appearance.

Up below Rania finds her in-laws already sitting at the dining table. The gazes they had accidentally met made her in-laws instantly avert her gaze. Since that night, her attitude towards Rania has changed. Although her gaze still showed signs of dislike but her treatment of Rania softened a little.

No more pounding at the door telling him to do something, or nagging about his work that is not right let alone the name of barren women who used to be often said. Every time they met at the dinner table, her father-in-law was more silent.

Nor did Rania attempt to repair her relationship with her in-laws. As long as her in-laws haven't apologized to her she won't be nice to her. This cold war is actually better according to Rania, this way her in-laws will not dare to ask her for money again.

"What do you want to cook for me?" rania asked Mbak Imah, the servant who served her. Mbak Imah was one of the people who at that time participated in an interview with a PRT channeling agent. Rania chose him because he was not so old so his work was deft. In addition, he can also ride a motorcycle if at any time Rania wants to buy something he can ask for help with Ma'am Imah.

"Pak Barra asked me to cook broccoli soup and salmon for Mom" Ma'am Imah replied. Even now Rania's food menu is made separate from other residents of the house. All the nutrients that go into the stomach of Rania is very much considered by Barra.

"Yes already, may ... "

Without waiting for Barra to come down, Rania immediately took her own meal. He also did not greet his in-laws first.

Her in-laws just kept quiet. He's not nagging as usual. Maybe in the past if Rania did something like this, she must have been eaten by her in-laws. But now his father-in-law did not dare to act. Rania wanted to act like whatever her in-laws did not dare to comment.

"Darling ... You're not waiting for me first?" barra asked as soon as she reached the dining table.

"I'm hungry already" replied Rania indifferently.

"I'm done." Rania stood up after finishing her milk. "Mbak .. later in the day please make me mango juice yes," Rania told Mbak Imah.

"But Ms. .. new is not mango season, where do I get mango?"

"Isn't he? I really want mango juice. Yes already Ma'am, watermelon juice, later delivered to the room yes ..." Rania left the dining room without saying anything to Barra or her in-laws.

Rania's in-laws stared cynically at Rania's departure. "Are you not over-treating him?"

Barra hush. Answering his mother is the same as prolonging the problem.

"She's pregnant, but you don't have to spoil her that way. This is overkill according to mom!"

Barra was silent.

"Why are you quiet? I'm talking to you!"

"I'm making amends, ma'am. If he doesn't forgive me then I won't be able to meet my son because he will take him away. Do you want to?!"

"Yes not really."

"Then you better start being nice to her or later she won't let you carry your granddaughter!" menacam Barra's.

During the day as Rania had asked, Mbak Imah delivered watermelon juice to her room. After that Rania asked him to massage her body.

"I used to. I did all the work in this house. But now I'm not doing any work, just sleeping and mobile toys but my body feels really tired, the innate lemes continue."

"Indeed, ma'am, people if they are used to working continue not to do anything just on aches. In addition, the mother is now pregnant and often vomits, must be lemes."

"Mbak Dima was pregnant and also gini taste?"

"When you get pregnant first, ma'am, no appetite continues to slow down. Wanted to continue with the husband. But the time of the second pregnancy can not be spoiled again. Dizziness, lemes I hold. I have to work to make ends meet."

"Where is the husband of Ma'am?"

"My husband ran away from each other when I was two months pregnant."

"Mbak Why don't you try and find out where her husband is?"

"I looked twice. But after that never again. If my husband leaves with another woman, it means he wants it. I also look for if he prefers to be with the woman and what do I want? want how? Yes, I just took it."

"And Mama's husband has a duty to pay the children?"

"There is no difference Mom, after all during marriage I also participated in the money to meet the needs of life. My husband's money must have been partly given to the woman. How much money my husband, ma'am, different from mother's husband."

Suddenly someone knocked on the door of the room, making the chatter of Rania and Mbak Imah pause.

"Log ... " Rania immediately told me to come in. He thought it was Bi Yani, the other maid.
