Unaltered

One month passed, Rahma as usual lived her day productively. Teaching, writing and carrying out household duties are fun things for Rahma. He begins his day with do'a and is enterprising, living every second of it with the spirit of wishing him well and blessings in his life.

Every weekend Rahma spends her time at home or just a walk with her husband. Anggara as usual, go home every weekend and spend his time off in Garut with Rahma.

Ever since Rahma heard Anggara talk with her aunt, she chose to be quiet and acted as if she had never heard anything. Anggara behaved as usual, he remained kind and seemed unaffected by his tantalizing incitement. Rahma always prayed that her husband's heart be cherished.

"I can't Tan, I'm in Garut again" a slightly whispering Anggara voice was speaking on the phone.

"....."

"Sorry Tan I have made a choice, better aunt undo whatever aunt's plan" Anggara said firmly, he spoke with a slightly elevated intonation.

"...."

"Yes, yes.there's aunty. Now that I hang up, I'm in Garut not good with Rahma if I keep calling"

"...."

"Yes" Anggara said on the other end of his phone, not sure what he was talking to his aunt on the other end of the phone. And again Rahma has been behind him for some time.

"Darling, what's wrong?" anggara asked with a shocked face that he could not hide finding Rahma already standing before him.

"I just want to take the breakfast mas, the food is ready" said Rahma relaxed, she did not show her suspicion of her husband at all.

"Ouh..then let's eat" Anggara also grabbed Rahma's shoulder and took her out of the room to the kitchen .

....

As time passed, Rahma's days looked fine. Until one day the chat that was initially ordinary and had no effect whatsoever became a sensitive thing for him and Anggara.

"Mama asked again about you, have you any signs of pregnancy?" anggara said in the middle of their usual dinner with warmth shed each other's longing after a week stretched a distance but not for tonight.

Since her return Friday night Rahma felt something was different from her husband. Maybe because a lot of Anggara's attitude work is a little cold this time around. Rahma remained husnudzon, not wanting if she asked would make her husband uncomfortable.

"Yet Mas, yesterday I just came to the moon" replied Rahma as it is, she still casually enjoyed her dinner even though in the heart raging many questions that can not be spoken about the change in attitude of her husband.

Since that night Anggara is no longer the husband who for one year made Rahma happy. Rahma concluded that she was not wrong by giving Anggara the opportunity to change and improve everything because in fact during this one year Anggara really became a dream husband. But since their conversation that night her husband came back cold.

Since then the weekend is no longer the day that Rahma awaits, her husband is now out of order to go home. The outside service becomes an excuse if he can not go home. In Rahma's mind could Anggara be back with her lover, but not Rahma if everything had to be carefully thought out. She did not want to act rashly by accusing without evidence on her husband. With patience Rahma still hopes that her household is fine and Anggara returns to being as warm as before.

Time passed, Anggara's attitude change was increasingly felt by Rahma. Child problems turned out to be the reason for her husband's change in attitude. Under the pretext of always being suppressed by Mama Anggara increasingly shows the change.

"Mas, the boy's problem is not our power I think I know that. Mama must understand" said Rahma in a conversation conducted by phone when asking the state of her husband who has not returned home for two weeks.

"Look, I just want to make my parents happy. You know for yourself they crave the presence of a grandchild" Anggara replied across the phone.

"I.." Rahma's words interjected because Anggara suddenly cut.

"I have a guest, I hang up the phone" without waiting for Rahma's answer, Angga ended his phone call with Rahma, while Rahma only took a breath in the face of her husband's attitude.

Not only did Anggara change his attitude, the mother-in-law who was at the beginning of her marriage until a few months ago behaved so warmly now no longer. Mama always said that makes Rahma uncomfortable when they call, or meet at family events.

"Woy, daydream. What the hell is it?" Lisna who found Rahma was dumbstruck by herself next to the teacher room after calling Anggara surprised Rahma with her presence.

"Astagfirullah, Lisna ... you know, make me shocked" jolted Rahma who looks very shocked because of the sudden presence of her best friend. Rahma's upset face also made Lisna frown.

"What's wrong?" lisna's tone turned more serious. He saw a different look on Rahma's face this time like never before.

Lisna pulled the chair behind her desk, now her position right in front of Rahma who seemed busy themselves by checking the duties of her students.

"Nawnaw.." jolted Lisna who never got a response from Rahma,

"What the hell?" rahma replied relaxedly,

"You why? dong's story" whined Lisna while holding Rahma's hand stopped him who was writing notes in his student's book.

"There is nothing" Rahma replied with a smile to return the gaze of her friend who was full of questions, now she can regain control of her heart.

"Really?" Lisna still did not believe, from the change in Rahma's expression she could guess if something was going on with her best friend. Moreover, lately Lisna did see changes there that changed Rahma.

"Yes, really" said Rahma to calm her friend.

"Your husband didn't come home this week?" lisna asked who was answered by Rahma's head,

"Heummmh" murmured Lisna, now she could deduce what caused Rahma to change lately. He had heard several times if Anggara did not come home, whereas before his best friend's husband always came home every weekend.

"How are you?" aunt Anggara came over to Rahma who was arranging food at the parasmanan table. He is currently at his father-in-law's house in Bandung.

Regular large family meetings held in rotation are now in turn held at Anggara's parents' house. All family members present, they seem to blend with each other full of familiarity in an atmosphere of togetherness.

There was nothing different that Rahma felt when she was in the middle of that family, everything was fine. All the family members treat Rahma so warmly and kindly, until the arrival of the aunt who is the youngest sister of her father-in-law begins to make Rahma uncomfortable.

"Alhamdulillah good aunt, aunt how are you?" Rahma saluted aunt Anggara and they also made a cipiki.

"Well, auntie is very nice" he replied with a friendly smile,

Aunty Anggara continued to pay attention to what Rahma was doing who continued to arrange her homemade chocolate pudding on the table.

"It's your making?" asked the aunt while taking a cup of the pudding to taste it,

"Yes aunty, I made it this morning. Please try aunt" replied Rahma while thrusting a special small spoon of pudding.

"Enak, said your mother-in-law, your cooking is delicious. Pantesan Anggara also melt" he said a little to the heart of Rahma, the sentence of praise that he threw ended with a sentence that made a question in Rahma's mind.

But Rahma did not want to bother maybe the tantenya knew what their marriage was like, because after all Anggara was quite close to the tantenya.

"Thank you, aunt" Rahma replied as she resumed her unfinished work.

"But free yes can cook also if you can not love children"

Degs.....

Rahma stopped her movement.
