Becoming a Third Person

39 Life Must Go On

Bishimah ....

The events with Dani passed without news. There is no story about either of them. Tyo and Rima's life went on as usual.

That afternoon Rima's face pouted. He just came out of the bathroom. Rima threw his body onto the bed, sighing heavily. As if to get rid of the resentment in his heart.

"Mother, father is home," Emira's voice made Rima rise and try to normalize her pouting face.

With a slight rush Rima came out from her room.

"Mas, what do you want to drink?" rima asked while kissing Tyo's hand.

"That angets if there is," Tyo raised his eyebrows. Welcomed smile restrained Rima. Her husband likes to code.

"Seriously? If the angt-anget there is water stay manasin," replied Rima while sticking out her tongue. Emira laughed when she saw her parents joking.

"Too the water anyway I didn't ask you, in the kitchen a lot," Tyo scrambled Rima's hijab. They exchanged smiles.

"Tumben ain't no kid learning Rim?"

"Today's a public holiday, Monday more." Rima answered while brewing coffee. They were sitting in the dining room that connected the kitchen.

It has been 4 months Rima stopped teaching because her tutoring students more and more. And the teenage Emira needs extra attention. Tyo was so busy with his work, Rima did not want Emira to lack attention. He gave up his job and decided to work from home.

"Mother teacher again bad mood rich," continued Tyo. He said that sentence in passing. But Rima flinched, did Tyo understand her heart? He is really upset.

Rima lowered her face, putting a cup of coffee in front of her husband. The man who was almost 40 years old was looking at her.

"Why bad mood? Test pack problem again?" Tyo asked casually, then sipped his coffee.

Rima is wrong. He did not want to answer because there was Emira near them. Didn't want Emira to know that her mother was upset.

"Later to say it," Rima propped her hands together against her chin. The sad expression was so obvious.

It's been over a year, but she's not pregnant yet. Before Tyo came he had time to use a test pack because his monthly guests were a week late. Expect passionately that this time his test pack will show you two lines. But it turned out negative!

Rima had to be disappointed.

♥️♥️♥️

"Do not think too much about the test pack, if it is time to get pregnant Rima," Tyo looked at his wife who was leaning on the head of the bed, reading a book.

"Yes but it's been over a year Mas, my friend who has just 3 months of marriage is already pregnant now," Rima began to glaze over.

"Yes you can't equate yourself with your friends, human destiny is different,"

Tyo softened his voice, he did not want to add to his wife's turmoil.

"Mom has often asked when to have a baby, I'm tired of being asked questions. Not pakde and budenya mas Tyo,"

"Other times if they just say Mas Tyo ga becus ngehamilin me. Beres!"

Rima smiled faintly in response to her husband's joke. Tyo always responded to this matter casually. He also did not demand Rima to get pregnant immediately, even the man was impressed indifferent to this business. For him, the most important thing is that their household is harmonious. Together until old, after a life of heaven.

"Let's go to sleep, will you sleep?" ask Tyo with a joke.

"What the heck Mas Tyo, people talk seriously even guyon," replied Rima while wiping her tears.

"I'm seriously going to sleep, if you don't want to. Later if you are not pregnant cry," replied Tyo while laying down his body against Rima. A pinch landed on Tyo's arm, making the man turn around and laugh.

"Code tag, huh? So how? What's tomorrow gonna be in jail now?" Tyo was loud. Rima increasingly landed pinch-pinch.

"Mas, if .. I can't get pregnant, what ... Mas Tyo still love me?" asked Rima who was now putting her head on Tyo's chest.

"That question again, ga bosen what is it just? No other question, right? What a cake that makes that smile," Tyo stroked his wife's hair scented shampoo.

"Answered dong Mas," said Rima.

"Why not answer why? Can't sleep here? Was my ration cut?"

Again Rima laughed at her husband's coded answer.

"You don't need to think that baby, my love is the same you have no business the same can have any child. "

"But if I can't have children, it means I'm not perfect, Mas" Rima bit her lip.

"Where there is perfect in this world, dear, we are not perfect. That's why we perfect each other. "

Tyo looked at his wife so deeply and gently stroked her hair. Rima looked back at her, then hugged her husband tightly. While he forgot his excitement because Tyo was so good at entertaining.

🧁🧁🧁

Dozens more days passed. And for a moment Rima forgot her desire to have a child. That day she suddenly remembered Yulia, for some reason.

"Rim, tomorrow we are invited by Bu Yuan," Tyo appeared behind Rima who was frying a banana.

"Oh yeah? What event is it?" ask Rima.

"Give thanks, Bu Yuan same Bang Ali want to go umrah," replied Tyo. Now he's leaning on the bar table behind his wife who's playing a spatula.

"Alhamdulillah, grim with the news. Who was Tyo talking to?"

"So .. are we going?" Rima asked hesitantly, she was afraid that her husband would not come because there was a chance that they would meet Yulia.

"Well, don't you want to go?"

"That's bad. I haven't seen Yuan in a long time,"

"Yes, tomorrow at 10 o'clock, at Green Barn's restaurant,"

Rima glanced at Tyo, her smile rising from the thought of meeting Yuanita and ... Julie.

🍓🍓🍓

At 10:00, Tyo and Rima arrived at Green Barn. Drizzle drizzle faithfully accompany since the morning blind, making the air of Malang increasingly cool.

The two brands entered the restaurant area which was seen starting to get crowded with invited guests. Yuanita greeted Rima and Tyo warmly. So did her husband. While Rima spread her gaze around the resto, looking for Yulia. She did not dare to ask because Tyo was standing beside her.

"When do you go mbak?" ask Rima.

"Wednesday Rim, I'm with Mama and Bang Ali. What do you want to drop it for?"

"Titip dates as the same prayer yes mbak, let me get pregnant and follow to it," Rima replied softly.

"Ck ... pregnant again discussed," it turns out Tyo heard Rima's speech. The man did not like Rima so much about pregnancy, he just did not want Rima sad.

"Duh Pak Tyo immediately sewot tuh, it has not been talked about. Eat there anyway," Yuanita laughed as she gently pushed Rima away.

Rima says goodbye to her husband to take food, Tyo agrees and then joins up with a fellow male guest.

The purple hijab woman was cool in researching every dish arranged nicely. He approached the mainstay menu of the Green Barn restaurant, processed various organic vegetables. Rima prepared to bring her plate as a voice she missed greeted.

"Assalamualaikum Rim, how are you?"

Rima turned around slowly. And ...he put the plate away and then covered his mouth with both hands. It's a surprise that's too much fun.

"Girlwind, Yul!"

They embraced, pouring out all the longing. Rima seemed to be in disbelief with Yulia's new appearance. That woman is hijab!

"I miss you Rim, too much" whispered Yulia with a trembling voice holding back the day.

"Me too Yul, kangeeennn bangett. Where are you going?" Rima distanced herself to look at Yulia who was wearing a pink hijab.

"I .. ga everywhere. Most of them are at home in the office. I'd like to see you, but ..."

Yulia's sentence was deliberately hung, the beautiful woman only glanced at Tyo in the distance. Rima understood, but did not answer a word. She didn't want to say anything bad about the husband who loved her so much.

"Eh eat yuk, your kistama is healed Yul? Try this organic kailan. Good for health."

"Yes Rim, but I'm not eating that anymore. Do you like to eat vegetables?" yulia replied while holding her stomach.

"You ... still sick?" rima asked worriedly.

"It's not Rim's pain, I'm .. pregnant," Yulia replied while blushing. Rima frowned, not yet understanding Yulia's intentions.

"Pregnant?" It was not that Rima did not hear what Yulia said. He just wanted to make sure his hearing wasn't wrong.

"Yes pregnant, only 4 weeks old," Yulia nodded and smiled wider.

"Oh Allah, the art of Yul. Congratulations yes. I'm following her horror,"

They hugged again. This time it was a cry from Rima.

"Darling ... Are you here? Wanted everywhere too. Don't be tired, uh Rima. How's Rim doing?"

Rima grew even more shocked when Dani appeared before him. The man when he last saw her was so full of grief. And today he looks bright, it's not really in line with today's weather.

"Mas Dani? So ... you guys?" Rima did not continue the question.

"Yes Rim, we decided to start over. We both made a lot of mistakes. And to be honest, Tyo played a role to wake me up." replied Dani with a face full of smiles.

Rima looked at them with a question mark. The gentle touch on his shoulder resuscitated Rima. Her husband was already standing next to her, greeting Dani and Yulia.

"Great fun to talk, if you've met me in this meeting," joked Tyo.

Rima looked up at her husband who was acting ordinary. Ah Tyo was indeed full of surprises. Rima did not expect Tyo to make Dani and Yulia make peace. Rima wrapped her arms around Tyo's waist, thrusting her head into his arms.

He doesn't want to ask me anything more. Everything he saw today was so happy. His best friend changed for the better, and decided to build again his love rubble with a husband who was so loved and loved him.

And for him, a man who is imperfect but perfects his life and love stands so close.

I don't think Rima wants to ask for anything. Just let time slow down today. So that he can embrace all the happier for longer.
