Between Me and My Husband

Drama before leaving town

I had a quiet week before the test with a busy rush. There are several assignments from lecturers that must be collected immediately and additional lectures. I don't even have time to focus on studying.

When night falls, the time I should use to study even ends with all the mischief of Mas Dipta.

Like tonight, when I focus on my laptop and a lot of books on my bed. He suddenly came, and immediately lay down on the bed.

"Eh mas. when do you get in? Already eaten?" I asked to turn my gaze towards him for a moment, then dwell again in front of the lit screen.

"Hem, that was it. This is why you're on a gini mattress?" Asked again, he lay on his side with one hand supporting his head.

"Why do you think? Masa' I got this on the floor? The desk here is just that little table, and it doesn't fit all these books and laptops." I pointed to a small table near the mirror attached to the wall. The table is only fit for my minimalist makeup tools.

"In the lower room there's a study table, so you just study it downstairs." The Dipta mas proposal that I immediately rejected.

"No, masa' I wara wiri up and down. Not practical."

"Does the table just put it on top?" Back to the world asked.

"The table is in use Mas Dipta also does it make work? No, I can study anywhere." My answer is not to look at him.

"Buy it means. You just choose what kind of model, then let me pay."

"Gak papa mas, the money from Mas Dipta there is still a lot left over. I'll buy it with that money." The monthly money transferred by Mas Dipta is not all used up. The money is still in the atm I did not take, just think of it as savings.

"Udah ya mas. I have to focus this nyelesein nih." Saying again. Mas Dipta just sighed.

"Fast fast selsaikan. Let me keep up with you." He answered, then reached into his pants pocket and took his phone out of there. For a moment he seemed busy looking at his cellphone.

But it didn't last long. She put her original phone on the bed and looked back at me.

"It's night, it's better to continue tomorrow." His word. I did not respond so much to the words of the Dipta mas.

"Kania.." call him. I looked at it for a moment.

"Done that and then turn off the lights. We're resting, it's night." Say again.

I glanced at the clock from my phone screen. At half-time 10pm, it's not too late. Sometimes Mas Dipta if overtime even at 11 pm just returned home.

"Wait a minute, it's just a little bit more." My answer.

Mas Dipta got up from his sleep. He tried to tidy up some papers that were scattered on the floor. And turn it into one. Then I started writing books I didn't seem to be using.

Only a laptop and 2 books are still in front of me. I just kept ignoring what Mas Dipta was doing.

"Nia, finish what you're doing now. We're resting now." Back then, Dipta told me to rest immediately.

Irritatedly I closed the laptop I had not had time to turn off. Why is this created? Like I don't want to get good grades. Though if my ipk is good, the first time I want to tell who else if not him.

"Mas, this task I must collect before the exam. There are still tasks I have to do. Not to mention additional lectures. I haven't even studied." I said a little hard to Mas Dipta.

"Tomorrow Nia, you can still work on it. Now we're taking a break?!"

I took a deep breath, to unravel the irritability that lingered on my chest. Then I got out of bed. Take my laptop and all my books including the one in the same finish Mas Dipta.

"Well, Mas Dipta can rest now. I'll do this outside." I answered and then walked to the door of the room.

"Kania. that's not what I meant. Never mind, I'm out." I prefer to give up this time. She took her cellphone on the bed and walked out of my room with a sour face.

I'm more to wonder, usually if I'm not busy, we sometimes even chat until late at night and unconsciously fall asleep.

That night, Mas Dipta did not return to my room. I think he slept in his room that he hadn't slept in in a long time.

In the morning, I woke up a little bit. After the morning prayer I fell asleep on the prayer mat and still fully wearing a mukena. The overnight effect of staying up late until early morning, so without feeling asleep.

I went down and saw Mas Dipta was neat. He was sitting at the dinner table, his right hand was holding a cup, while the other hand was holding a hp.

I see on the table there is a fried rice sausage that has always been a mainstay of Mas Dipta if cooked by himself.

"Morning mas.." I said as I walked to the kitchen table to make an angel tea.

"After morning, are you awake? Until what time was last night?" He asked, he put his cellphone on the dining table.

"Emm. I don't know. But I guess it's early morning." Answer me

"Don't stay up too much. Enough rest is important." Mas Dipta said firmly.

"Yes yes.I'm sorry I last night. I just don't want to make Mas Dipta disappointed if my grades are bad." I said regretfully, I submitted my gaze, afraid and embarrassed to look at Mas Dipta.

"Come here!" Mas Dipta shifted the chair from under the table so I could sit there.

I also said, before sitting down I put the tea cup I made on the table slowly.

"I won't be disappointed with the outcome. Having good value is indeed proud, but I will still be proud if it turns out your value will be ugly. What I appreciate is your hard work. Youunderstand?" The words of Mas Dipta successfully touched me. And without asking, tears are already in the eye.

"Yes I will remember the words of Mas Dipta." I looked down, afraid of tears falling in front of Mas Dipta.

"I went to Surabaya this morning." Mas Dipta said.

I looked at him straight away, the tears I had been holding back from now on were rolling down my cheeks. Mas Dipta who saw the melt of my tears even became panicked and immediately touched my cheek to wipe my tears.

"Only 4 days, I hope the tender runs smoothly so it's not until 4 days that I've returned." He hurried to explain, thinking my tears were coming out because he was leaving me.

"Who did you get there with?" My toot.

"Same Leni." The answer. I grunt while throwing my face away.

"We're professionals, Nia, there's nothing about me and Leni." Clearly again.

"Don't do that, I'm going to leave and don't sulk anymore. Okay?" Her speech.

"Every night even I want to be alone with you, you prefer to do your duties." Mumbled wailing.

"It should have been last night Mas Dipta said it clearly to me. I didn't know Mas Dipta would be leaving this morning." My tears are back in my eyes.

"OK, next time I'll say it clearly. Don't cry anymore. Now hug me!"

I ran into his warm embrace. This fragrance, I will definitely miss for the next 4 days.

"Please promise me, don't ignore my message. Even though it's too late please just reply. I won't call Mas Dipta while there, but if Mas Dipta calls, I'll make sure I pick him up no matter what time." I said in his arms.

"Hem. I will call you often." He answered while kissing the top of my head.
