"Tara, Nao, let's go down!" chen's orders were gentle.
Chen closed his car door and kissed Soraya's forehead.
"I'll pick you up after work, yes, my three women" Chen said softly.
"Be careful, Chen."
"Always, dear."
Chen touched Soraya's cheek, drove her car back to her activities.
"Where's chen going?" ask Mika from the corner of the terrace.
"There's a meeting with the client."
"Saturday morning like this?" ask Mika back.
Soraya just nodded her head, entering her parents' house.
Soraya patted the Son's head gently. Furious to see the behavior of his brother who is always busy on his online game.
"Son, Evgen is married. When are you again?" ask Soraya ketus.
"Let it be that if he gets married, he's he's. I am, I am" answered the Son still busy on his dress.
Soraya simply shook her head, turning on the tivi in the middle room.
"Yes, are you and Chen okay?" ask Mika curious.
"Of course, Pa."
"Papa see these few weeks Chen is always busy, even on weekends though. Is Chen still okay?"
"I mean Papa?" soraya asked confusedly.
"Chen's habit has never been this busy before. Aya, Chen is very young, Papa is only worried about you, son."
"I'm sure Chen won't mess around, Pa. Chen has only been busy lately," Aya replied gently.
"Thank God if that's the case."
Soraya smiled and nodded her head. Slowly, his feelings began to grow suspicious. Chen has never been this busy.
Leaving him and his children on holiday.
Soraya sends out a message, trying to calm her feelings that begin to mingle on suspicion.
But until noon, Chen didn't even read the message.
Soraya sighed, sitting in front of the large glass of her room. He looked at his face that was beginning to look old.
There began to be wrinkles in the corner of the eye and body shape that is not as good as before.
If you are with Chen who is currently still in mature age. Maybe the difference will be obvious.
Soraya goes back to checking her phone, starting to get suspicious of what her husband is doing out there.
***
Soraya noticed the two faces of her daughter who had fallen asleep in her papa's bedroom. Too active to play, making two of his heart was immediately sound in his dream.
Soraya gently stroked chubby cheeks, Nao. How similar the face of the first princess was to that of the father.
A step entered the dark room, grabbed Soraya's waist and smelled the smooth skin of her shoulders.
Aya let go of the hand embrace, watching her husband's tired-looking face with his tangled clothes.
"Wake and rest. We'll stay the night."
"Why?" chen was confused.
"Nao and Tara are asleep. I'm afraid they're awake."
"It's usually okay too, I picked up Nao first."
"Eh .. wait!" hold Soraya fast.
Soraya approached Chen, shifting the body of Chen who wanted to approach Nao.
"You take a shower first, take a bath tonight. I'm tired" said Soraya coldly.
"Hem, okay."
Soraya hugged Nao's sleeping body. For some reason, he would not be willing if Chen approached his daughter.
There was suspicion that arose when she saw her husband. Unlike usual, Chen looks more tired than before.
Chen opened his eyes, glancing at the watch in his hand. Slightly in a hurry, he got up and entered the bathroom.
"Yes" called Chen from inside the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" ask Soraya ketus.
"Prepare my clothes dong, dear."
"Where are you going?"
"There are some things I need to take care of. Hurry up a little yeah, I'm bad luck."
With a slight annoyance, Aya took out a pair of clothes and placed them on the bed. Get downstairs to avoid interacting with her husband.
I was upset, even on Sunday morning. Chen is still too busy at work.
***
"Assalamualaikum" said Chen as he opened the door of his in-laws' house.
"Chen, tumben did you stop by?" Irena asked softly.
"Yes, which kids are you, Ma? Already sleeping?" asked Chen gently.
"Well, didn't Soraya come home from the morning? He doesn't care for you?"
"No."
"Soraya came back after you left, she didn't say anything to Mama, she didn't even care about Nao's crying and not coming home."
For a moment Chen fell silent, he remembered Aya's treatment that had cooled from last night.
He thought that Aya was just a bitch because she stayed during the holidays. But it seemed, Aya was angry at something else.
Chen opened the door to his already dark room. Unlike usual, Soraya never turned off her bedroom lights before she came home.
"Yes," call Chen softly.
Soraya wiped the corners of her eyes, closed her eyelids. Pretending asleep.
Aya just fell silent, in the middle of the lonely atmosphere of the night, Chen could still hear Aya's heavy snort of breath.
"You crying?" ask Chen directly.
Seven years married this girl, he understands very well with her arrogant nature. Always be quiet when troubled, even his attitude can be cold for weeks.
"I did it wrong?" ask Chen back.
But Soraya simply fell silent, trying to hold back her so as not to make a sound.
Chen turned on the light, turned his wife's body back to face her.
"I command you to open your eyes!"
Soraya opened her eyes, along with a puddle of water that escaped from the twinkle of her eyes.
"Why you?" chen was confused. "I did it wrong?"
Soraya shook her head, again closing her eyelids. Not wanting to explain and not wanting to talk.
Trying to ease his own worries.
"Why are you always like this? We've been married for seven years, but your attitude hasn't changed."
"I'm like this, why? You sorry?" ask Soraya fiercely.
"Astagfirullah Aya, I never thought like that. Why are you like this?"
"really? Didn't you see? Am I old and ugly right now? Aren't you ashamed?"
Chen sighed and rubbed his face violently. Tired increased when faced with the attitude of his wife like this.
Soraya changed her position, sitting on the bed with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
"What's this, Aya? Why are you suddenly angry?"
"You think?"
"Come on, we're no longer teenagers who guess when they're angry."
"Bodo!"
"Yes, I'm really tired. Can you please not add to my fatigue?" chen asked, getting annoyed.
"Oh yeah? Tired huh? Did I tell you to work on Sundays? Did I ask you to work until you forgot the time?"
"Yes I work for you and our children. Should you act like this?"
"Which child?" ask Soraya ketus.
Chen sharpened his eyes, looking at Soraya who was sitting next to him.
"Don't tell me you suspect I'm cheating?" tanya Chen was fierce.
"Considered you? Which office works on holidays? Meeting on the weekend? Chen, I know I'm not as pretty as I used to be, but can you please not do this to me?" pinta Aya.
Chen ruffled his hair and got up from the bed. He opened his closet and threw the jacket into Soraya's hand.
"Wear this, come with me!"
"Where?"
"Follow it, don't ask much. I'm too tired to explain it to you."
Soraya wore the jacket that Chen gave her. Following Chen's orders and entering her husband's black car.
Slowly, Chen drove his car. Through the darkening night streets. But the traffic is getting bigger.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll know after seeing it," Chen replied gently.
Chen stopped at a not so big house. When stepping foot on the porch ceramic, there was a new smell of paint from the walls of the modern house.
Chen opened the door of the house, turned on the lights and showed the contents inside the black and white house.
"Who's this chen home?" ask Soraya while looking around.
"Actually, this house I want to show you next week. Right on the anniversary of our wedding."
Soraya turned her face away, looking at the face of Chen who was standing beside her.
"This is our house?" soraya asked confusedly.
Chen just nodded his head. A little disappointed because his attempt to make a surprise unfolded already.
"When did you buy it?"
"Last month," Chen replied limply.
"We've been married for seven years and are still hitchhiking with our parents. Rezi had already given up the residence even preparing it so perfectly. Obviously I'm envious, even though I'm not comparable to him, but I don't want to lose too far from him."
Chen ruffled his hair and walked to the side of the window.
"This house is not as good as Rezi's, not too big either. But I want to take shelter and stay here until I get old" Chen continued.
"Chen, why didn't you tell me you wanted to buy a house?" ask Soraya gently.
"Initially I thought I could decorate this myself. I want to show you when everything is ready. That's why I go every weekend. But it turns-" Chen smiled wryly and shook his head.
Soraya sighed, walking closer to her husband. Wrap around Chen's waist with both hands.
"Chen, I'm sorry. I'm too scared to lose you. I realize I'm older than you, I'm just afraid, if someday, you'll turn away from me."
"You know why I chose this house? Is there anything more luxurious?" asked Chen gently.
"Why?"
"Because when I first saw this house, she looked so cool and soothing. I want to live in peace and take shelter here. Spent the rest of my life and carved out many memories here."
Chen smiled and grabbed both cheeks of Soraya.
"When I chose you first. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and make you the place I always go wherever I want to run. Makes you the place I come home to when I want to go back. No matter what is better or prettier. To me, you are my shelter, my wife."
Soraya smiled spoiledly and pinched Chen's stomach. She was embarrassed when she was teased by her husband.
"Chen, I'm begging-"
"I forgive you," Chen broke up straight away.
"Don't suspect me, Aya. Even if you are old and can do nothing. I just want to stay in your arms. I'll just be in your arms. Trust me, my effort and hard work all along, just because I wanted to see you and our kids grow up together. I don't care about the world, because since I married you. You are my whole world Aya. I just want to be in the world, which you and our children are in."
Soraya embraced the man's field body and buried her face in the chest. Enjoy a warm embrace that never changes even after seven years of marriage.
"Chen, I love you so much,"
