A Wound

Chapter 61's

Lately Ara always wanted to smell her husband's body. It felt like it was becoming a drug for him.

Ibra came home late tonight, ten o'clock, but Ibra hasn't come home yet. Several times Ara tried to put herself to sleep, but it was very difficult.

She could not sleep, and the scent of her husband's body kept swirling in her mind. She felt unable to close her eyes before hugging her husband. Eventually, he decided to go downstairs.

Ara went down the steps one by one, and stepped slowly towards the kitchen. Ara opened the refrigerator door, circulating her gaze, in order to check something she could eat there. Until his eyes were fixed on the citrus fruit, which by just looking at it, he could already imagine the sweet acid of the fruit.

He grabbed some oranges and placed them on the kitchen table. He sat himself down and began to enjoy the fruit. Up to three oranges were devoured.

After drinking water and removing the orange peel he ate earlier, he then decided to go to the family room. Maybe watching can take away her saturation waiting for her husband.

After turning on the tv in front of her, Ara grabbed the cracker setoples that were on the table and sat herself on the carpet that was held in the room.

"Pregnant?"

"Mama!" Ara widened her smile to Mama Reta who was already standing beside her.

"What meda? Why aren't you asleep?"

"Not yet sleepy, Ma. Ara is waiting for Ibra here. In the room it was boring."

"Yes let mama go. Rissa hasn't come home yet, and mom is waiting for her. She always comes home late at night" Mama Reta said, making Ara laugh.

"Is Dad asleep?" asked Ara, after Mama Reta sat herself down.

"Yes. He said Papa was very tired, so sleep faster."

"Rissa pulaaang...." Rissa's shout stopped the two's chatter.

Rissa approached Mama Reta who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and also sat herself there.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" sahut Ara's.

"Yes yes... Wa'alaikumsalam sister-in-law!" answer Rissa lightly.

"It should be like that. Enter the house, yes say hello," said Mama Reta.

"Yes yes, Mama always defended her. Actually Mama's son is Rissa or Ara anyway!" answer Rissa pout.

"Are you jealous?" tanya Ara chuckled.

"of course. My mom always scolded me. But with you, Mama's always been so sweet" Rissa said.

"Basic boy. Here..here..." Mama Reta pulled Rissa's hand and carried her into her arms.

"Mama loves you all. It makes no difference. Mama scolded you because she loved you" he added.

"Yes Rissa knows. Rissa is also very affectionate, Mama." said Rissa in the arms of Mama Reta.

Ara smiled bitterly, looking at the two mother children before her. Suddenly there was a feeling of sadness in her heart, seeing how happy Rissa was always getting the affection of a mother. Very different from her. Let alone mother, her father had left her.

Mama Reta who noticed the change in look of her daughter-in-law's face then spread out one hand, calling Ara to get closer to her.

"Come, come here, baby!"

Ara pulled both corners of her lips. He immediately put the jar on his lap, then walked with his knees toward his father-in-law. Ara landed her head on Mama Reta's lap while hugging Mama Reta.

Rissa let go of her embrace, when she heard the sound of a stifled sobbing from Ara.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? why are you crying?" tanyanya astonishment. But only answered with a slab by Ara.

Mama Reta rubbed her daughter-in-law's head. "What's up, honey?" ask Mama Reta.

"Yes, Honey. Mama's also very happy to have a daughter like you. You can ask your mom to hug you every day if you want to" Mama Reta said. And answered with a nod by Ara who still faithfully embraced him.

"You can also ask me to hug you if you want to feel the warmth of a sister." Rissa lowered her body and hugged Ara.

Ara let go of her embrace, and wiped her tears. "Where can you, instead of being a year older than me?"

"Geez! That year means nothing. In any case you are my sister-in-law now," replied Rissa kekeh.

"What's this?" Ibra who had just come, fused her eyebrows together saw the scene before her.

"Thank you Brother is coming" said Rissa. "Have gone to your husband. Now Mama is mine," Rissa told Ara, who then hugged Mama Reta.

Ara who saw Ibra coming, immediately stood up and ran to embrace her husband's body. This is what he has been waiting for. Smelling her husband's scent, it was very soothing for her.

Ibra, who was not aware of what was happening, raised her eyebrows, asking for an explanation from her mother.

"It's okay. Ride to rest, Ara must have been tired waiting for you since then," said Mama Reta.

"Alright, then we go up first. Mama also rest, it's late." After getting a nod from Mama Reta, Ibra climbed into her room by embracing her wife.

"What's wrong?" ibra asked when they were in the room.

"No, why" answered Ara.

"Why are you crying?"

"No why-why. Ara is just happy to be a part of this family. Ara's got a lot of love here" said Ara, helping Ibra remove the shirt buttons.

Ibra smiled slightly, rubbing his wife's cheek. "You know, lately you've been getting whiny.... Every time I see you cry I get scared. Is it possible that I failed to be your happy husband?"

"No, kok. Ara was very happy with Brother," said Ara, hugging Ibra's body. "I'm also confused as to why I'm this mellow. I always want to cry even when I'm happy. You must be bored with me."

"Yes, very boring," replied Ibra with a small smile.

Ara quickly took off her embrace. "Really?"

Ibra chuckled, then cupped his wife's face with both hands. "No, I was just kidding, honey. I'll never get bored with you, but you have to promise, from now on you won't cry anymore" she asked.

"Yes, Ara promise."

"Yes, then I clean up first." Ibra pinched both of Ara's cheeks, and gave a glimpse of her lips.

"Don't be long, yes" replied Ara smiling, winking her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? why be so flirty? Makes me want to go straight to bed."

"Yes, don't take a shower" replied Ara quickly. Makes Ibra chuckle at hearing it.

"Gosh, what's wrong with you? then you wait, I take a quick shower." Ibra again gave a glimpse of Ara's lips, and quickly ran to the bathroom. "Don't forget to change your clothes, tonight I want a white one" he shouted before closing the bathroom door. Makes Ara laugh at her husband's behavior.

Ibra has even bought her a lot of lingerie with a variety of colors, for Ara to use while sleeping.
