Between Me and My Husband

Again and again

During the day I look fresh after the break from morning. This morning when Mas Dipta left for work, I spent all my time sleeping and sleeping. I woke up when I felt someone rubbing my cheek. When I opened my eyes, it turned out that Mas Dipta had come home. The clock is 13:45.

"Let's eat! Want to go downstairs or eat here again?" He sat on the edge of the bed waiting for me to collect his life.

"Below is just me." I lowered my legs and sat lined up with Mas Dipta.

"Come on! Can walk?" The Creator reached out to help me stand up.

"I can do it myself. Mas Dipta go downstairs first, I'm going to the bathroom first, wash your face." I stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

"alright. I'll wait downstairs." I also came out of the room.

That afternoon we ate with the food that Mas Dipta brought. After eating, I returned to the room to pray dzuhur because it was time. Mas Dipta said he had prayed in the office.

In the afternoon we arrived at Mama Ratna's house. When she got there, she greeted us warmly. Especially when you see that Mas Dipta did not take my hand out of his grasp, the wider the smile of Mama.

Papa's coming home for dinner. Dino, he's not home. He had gone to LN to take care of his needs before college there.

Dinner that is usually filled with jokes and to Dino's nosiness, tonight is a little different. Papa and Mas Dipta talked about business, while I listened to Mama who told me how her life in the village used to be.

As the night grew late, the chatter that had moved into the living room was still continuing. From the conversation Papa and Mas Dipta that I captured is a project in Bali must be handled immediately. There's some misappropriation there. Their conversation grew heavy, and eventually Mama and I returned to the room sleepy.

I don't know at what time, Mas Dipta disturbed my beautiful dream. He kissed some parts of my face and grabbed my body.

"Is it morning?" I asked with a hoarse tone. Mas Dipta chuckled.

"It's just past midnight." The answer. His hand has slipped into my nightgown.

"Mas, his hand is where it is.." I stopped Mas Dipta's hand that was already in one of my assets.

"Why? Don't you want to?"

"Of course I want to." Answer shy. Mas Dipta smiled widely. He pulled the blanket over me and threw it to the floor.

That night we did the unification again and again, even before dawn we did it in the bath up bathroom. Instead of wanting to shower together to shorten the time, but in fact we get out of the bathroom when it is morning.

After our morning prayers have just fallen asleep. I woke up because of a loud bang on the bedroom door. It was 8:30 in the morning. I heard Mama's voice calling out our names from outside.

"Mas, wake!" I pushed the body of Mas Dipta who was not disturbed by the sound of Mama's bang. He just squirms and pulls me into his arms.

"Isa.. It's bad, it's not good with Mama." I tried to escape from his embrace.

Finally because Mas Dipta did not get up too, I stepped to the door to open it.

"Yes Ma?" I saw Mama standing in front of the door folding her hands to her chest.

"Wake up your husband, we have breakfast downstairs. Papa's been waiting for it." Furthermore Mama who knows that Mas Dipta has not woken up.

"Good Ma."

Mom walked out of the front room. I closed the door and approached Mas Dipta again. I was embarrassed in front of Mama, staying at the house of in-laws many times just now wake up bad luck.

"Mas, let's get up! Oh, pardon me, I think Mama is angry." I pushed back on Mas Dipta's shoulder so that he would wake up immediately. And finally succeeding, he began to blink his eyes.

"I want to wash my face first, let's be a little cool." I stepped into the bathroom.

Mom and Dad looked at us as we entered the dining room. Actually I was still tangled and felt tired really want to feel still coiled on the mattress, let alone my sleep was very less last night. But because it's bad with Papa and Mama so I'm trying to look good.

Unlike me Mas Dipta looks fresher and does not look tired at all when he was so awake directly out of the room without washing his face first like me. Even his sleep was only for a while, only the morning finished praying earlier.

"Sorry Pa Ma. The breakfast is late because we wait for it." I said, having no face in front of them. Mas Dipta just relax, he sat on the chair like nothing happened.

"What's wrong, let's sit down!" Replied Papa with a smile on her lips. I just realized that Papa's smile is very similar to Mas Dipta's smile even though the whole face of Mas Dipta is very similar to Mama Ratna.

"You didn't let your wife rest Dip? Look at his face pale.." Mom pointed at me with her chin. I was so misbehaved at the sight of those three people. To cover it up, I drank the water that was in front of me. Mama why she spoke so bluntly anyway, I became so embarrassed let alone there Papa.

"I think I want to keep Ma." I became choked and began to cough because of hearing Mas Dipta's answer that was so relaxed. Oh my God, he could not answer with a little lie. Just tell me I'm tired of facing the test. That's not a normal answer, it'll just make me even more embarrassed.

I was very hungry, so I really didn't have a taste for food. It felt like all eyes were staring at me. Especially deliberately Mas Dipta looks so friendly with me.

"Why eat so little? Eat a lot. Then we go home." Mas Dipta looked at my plate which was only slightly reduced.

It's wrong who I am so has no appetite for food. Usually I like to eat the most, I never leave food that has been filled on my plate.

"You guys want to go home? Not staying here anymore? Aren't you on holiday tomorrow?" Mama asked, folding her hands on the table.

"Emh.Monday I test Ma. So at least I have to learn." I haven't studied at all. Yesterday busy doing the task, if there is free time can not even focus because of longing for Mas Dipta.

"Well, if so. Is the exam over next week?

"Usually up to 2 weeks of testing Ma."

"Oh so? It's okay, you can study here. I make sure no one bothers me. So Dipta, get Kania here before you leave. Isn't this going to be a long time? Mama can't bear to have him alone at home." Mama's words made me gawk inexplicably.

Will Dipta go again? After yesterday just returned from Surabaya, where will this time? Mama said it's gonna be a while, how long is that?

I looked at Mama, then turned to look at Mas Dipta. He ignored my confusion. Sipping her warm tea. Why didn't he tell me anything?
