A Reply to My Husband

Seblak

Rania took her phone. He wants to call Barra.

"City ... What's the matter, my dear?" Barra's voice from the other end of the phone.

"Am I interrupting?"

"Of course not. Tell me what you want?"

"I want to eat as soon as I can."

"Blak? What'sthat?"

"Don't know anything? Try it later you find out on the internet."

"Yes, later I browse, I bought them all home later. Is there anything else?"

"Nothing. That's it."

"Yes, I'm working first. Bye." Barra hung up the phone without Rania answering.

"Maybe he's busy" murmured Rania.

It's time for Barra to come home. His office hours are eight to four in the afternoon. If he's not overtime, maybe before five he's home. And this morning Barra said she wasn't overtime, so she'll be home soon.

It's five o'clock more but Barra hasn't reached home yet. Rania who had been waiting until she was bored. He tried to contact Barra again but was not picked up.

Meanwhile somewhere else in an apartment, Barra is having an argument with Hanna.

"Yes ... I promised to marry you but wait!"

"But how long do I have to wait? My stomach can't keep me hidden!"

"Listen Hanna, I have a wife who is also pregnant. I can't just divorce her."

"Didn't you say that you're getting a divorce from your wife, so I want to be close to you!"

"Yes .. but she wasn't pregnant at the time. Now I can't divorce her."

"Then how am I? What is the fate of your son in my stomach?!"

"Wait a minute .. I'll think of a way out. You're patient I must be tough to answer."

"It's not the responsibility I need! You know my papa mama's wealth is nothing compared to your money! I am more than capable of just supporting my son. All I need is status!!" hanna said then left Barra and headed for her room. Not forgetting he slammed the door hard to vent his frustration.

Barra shouted furiously. She did not expect that the brief relationship she had with Hanna would come to fruition. And all this because he obeyed his mother's wishes.

Barra was sitting limp on the sofa. In his rubbing his face roughly indicates he is confused. For many years she had been expecting Rania, and now the person she had been having sex with several times was also pregnant.

Between happy and confused, Barra doesn't know what to do. He was happy to have two children at about the same time. But he was also confused on how to tell Rania. Only a few days later his relationship and Rania recover, now it will be tenuous again, maybe even will not be saved because of his mistakes. Barra really couldn't take it.

If only he had not followed his mother's words to find another woman. If he did not want to be introduced to Hanna, if he had made his own decision without always being under the influence of his mother, if...

Barra didn't realize she had been sitting on the sofa for a long time. He saw his watch that showed at seven o'clock in the night. She was so dead-end that she forgot about Rania. He also forgot to call her and said he would be home as late as before.

Yes, yesterday she wasn't overtime, Hanna asked to meet her and tell her she was pregnant. As a result Barra told Rania that he was overtime when he was meeting with Hanna.

"Oh my goodness ... Rania!" Barra immediately stood up and grabbed her briefcase. He was looking for his cell phone that he had put in his bag. Barra took the phone and opened it. There were some calls from Rania.

"What did he ask to buy? I forgot!" Barra thought hard.

Actually, Barra is not so interested in Hanna, not that she is not beautiful but Barra actually loves Rania very much. It's just that Barra's mind was in a state of turmoil, his mother kept telling him to divorce Rania and marry another woman in order to soon be able to have children. In addition, his relationship with Rania makes him unable to channel his desires. Then Hanna was used as his impingement. But unexpectedly now Hanna is also pregnant, which Barra believes is her child.

I got home almost eight o'clock. Barra immediately went in and looked for Rania in the dining room. There was only Bi Yani there cleaning the dining table.

"Rania where's Bi?" ask Barra.

"In his room sir, same Imah," replied Bu Yani politely.

"He's eating?"

"Not Mr. Barra. It's the food I'm cooking is still intact nobody's eating yet." Bi Yani's hand pointed at the dining table she was cleaning.

"Don't you eat either?" ask Barra again.

"Widia's mother hasn't returned yet sir."

Barra sighed softly. "Yes already." Then he rushed to his room where Rania was.

Just as he was about to enter the room, Ma'am Imah came out of the room until they both almost collided.

"Sorry Mr. Barra, I don't know if Mr. Barra wants to enter the room."

Barra just nodded. "Where's Rania?"

"That's ... Mom just went to bed. But it has not been dinner because from last wait Mr. Barra said he wanted to buy seblak."

Barra rubbed her face again. Because of facing the fussiness of Hanna, she forgot what Rania asked for.

"So he hasn't had dinner yet?"

"No sir, I just wanted to buy seblak not allowed, I masakin also did not want. He said he was afraid later if Mr. Barra came home with seblak no one ate, like fruit ice at that time. Ms. Rania from earlier was anxious to think that the Father had been called several times not appointed," explained Mbak Imah.

Guilt filled Barra's heart.

"Yes, Mbak Imah now prepare spices and ingredients to make seblak. It will be put in the refrigerator. If at any time my wife wants to, I can stay cooking. After that, Ma'am can go home."

"Good Sir."

Barra rushed into the room. He approached his sleeping wife. He looked at her face so much that he almost shed a tear from remembering Hanna. How could she explain to Rania if there was another woman out there who was also pregnant with her child.

Barra was eager to touch Rania's cheek but was afraid it would wake her up.

After finishing bathing Barra immediately followed Rania to the bed. Slowly she laid her body beside Rania while opening her phone to find out what kind of food her name was and how to cook it. Just in case Rania charges him later if he wakes up.

After he understood, then he closed his phone and then he kissed Rania bravely. In his kiss all over Rania's face without anyone being missed.

Feeling a kiss all over her face, Rania opened her eyes.

"Have you come home?" tanyakanya.

Barra only returned it with a kiss.

"Where is it like me?" ask Rania.

I'm right, aren't I?
