Part 26 | First Date

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم

"My happiness is simple, as simple as the loe that is always beside me."

Farhan

▪▪▪

Two months later, the household life of Farhan and Shandra runs like a married couple in general. Although the word love is still not coming out of the middle of Shandra's lips, but at least Farhan is grateful because his wife always makes him happy with simple things.

"Which is my briefcase, don't forget the tie, too" he asked with his busy hands rummaging through the piles of files strewn across the bed.

Shandra quickly obeyed her husband. "Here," said the woman with a faint smile.

"Thank you" said Farhan with a beautiful smile. "Gue love loe, Shan." The sentence was never absent out of both between the lips of Farhan, after waking up, when going to the office, and at night before going to bed. The activity has been going on for about a month.

Shandra just nodded and smiled. "I know that." The same law that the woman always gave for the love of her husband. Farhan gave his smile again and gently ruffled his wife's head. "There is no other answer," he said, which succeeded in making Shandra silent.

"Kidding. Do not be too entered into the heart of dong," continued the man dressed formally.

"Later in the afternoon I will go to Papah's house, have not seen the situation for a long time," said Shandra asked for permission. She did not want the discussion that her husband gave to be longer.

"Do you want anterin?" farhan's bargain was gifted with a head bobble by his wife. "No, you have to work. I can do it myself."

Farhan nodded in understanding. "Greetings to Papah, sorry I haven't been there yet" he said. "Yes" said Shandra.

Since the incident at the hospital a few months ago, Rahman decided to stay at home with one housekeeper, one nurse, a driver and a security guard who stayed behind to accompany his loneliness. Shandra and Farhan regularly visit Rahman once a week, and occasionally also stay there. But it has been about two weeks lately both have not been able to visit, because of the busyness of each.

"Breakfast first, Mas I have prepared," said Shandra reminded her husband who was busy putting some files into a briefcase.

"Yes, don't forget to also ready the food box for lunch," he said as usual. Since marrying his stomach only receives food that comes from the amateur hands of his wife, he prefers his wife's cooking over the food out there.

Households without being overwhelmed with love were very beautiful and made Farhan happy. What if his little family was overwhelmed with love and affection, it must have been much happier. Hopefully love will soon grow in the heart of his wife, prayers and hopes that never stop Farhan chanted in every last prostration of his prayer.

"Please come in, Non." Shandra received a warm welcome from her father's domestic assistant.

"Where is it, Bi?" tanyanya walked into a house full of memories along with her parents.

"Again in the back garden, Non," said a middle-aged woman named Minah. "Thank you" he replied as he walked to find his father.

Shandra's smile was beautiful when she saw the existence of the father who was feeding the fish in the pond around the park. His steps widened as the father ran his wheelchair over to get to him. "Where are you going, honey?" selorohnya while hugging tightly the body of the princess who crouched in front of him.

"I'm sorry Shandra, Pah," Shandra said after her hug came off. Instead of explaining he was just making an apology. Taking the father's hand to be saluted. "Kok tumben came here alone. Where's Papah's ghost?" ask Rahman.

"Mas Farhan is in the office, Pah," he replied. Rahman seemed to be frowning in disbelief. "You have a problem again?" Sontak Shandra shakes her head. "Why does Papah ask like that?"

Rahman sighed for a moment and said, "Whatever busy Farhan is usually he always nemenin you. But now it's different." Shandra smiled faintly and looked at the iris of her father's shady eyes. "Mas Farhan is having an important meeting that cannot be left behind, Pah. But he said later Mas Farhan will pick up Shandra, that's if the job is done."

Rahman just nodded. "Look yuk, you must not have had lunch," he said, who was presented with thin rugs the princess.

"Aren't you planning to give Papah and your in-laws a grandchild, son?" rahman asked after finishing his meal ritual.

Shandra smiled faintly and said, "Just pray for the best." Rahman widened his smile. "Father will always pray for the best for your happiness and Farhan."

The casual conversation between a pair of children and the father was getting late and ngalor snidul everywhere. Two weeks did not meet, enough to make Rahman's longing high. But he also no longer has the right to ask the princess to always accompany his old age. Because at this time the conditions are different, there is Farhan who is the legal husband of his son. The man who chose him to accompany the princess treads life in this mortal world.

"Assalamualaikum, Pah," Farhan's voice that had just entered the dining room stopped the casual chatter between the pair of father and son.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," answered the two in unison. "Said Shandra you're busy working, Han. How come you're here?" rahman asked after taking half the water.

Farhan greeted his father-in-law before he turned back his chair and sat down next to his wife. "Yes, this is also just coming home from a meeting directly here, Pah," he replied.

"You must be hungry, Shandra serves your husband Papah to go to the room for a while," said Rahman, who was taken by his daughter.

"Eat?" seloroh Shandra. Farhan's head was given in response. "Gue had eaten lunch that you were ready for this morning" he explained.

"Yes it's better now you take a break. You must be tired" she said, painstakingly taking over the black coat her husband gave her.

"Loe knows me the most" said Farhan with a wide ridge. Shandra takes her husband to the room and he returns to the dining room to help Minah tidy up the dining table.

"No, Non this is already Aunt's job. It's better not to just rest," refused Minah is not good. His employer's son always helped his work when visiting his master's house.

"Don't refuse like that, Bi," he's just starting to put dirty dishes in the sink. Minah just sighed resignedly without a fight. It was free that if he continued to resist, he would eventually lose as well and receive help from his master's son.

"Why stop here, Mom?" shandra asked in surprise because her husband parked the car at a night market. "Pengen aja so stop by here rich young man. Our girlfriend," he said with a blind eye.

Shandra lowered her head in hearing her husband's words so frontally. "We are married, it is inappropriate to date in a public place like this" Shandra said.

"Well therefore we, 'will be halal so free dong want to date anywhere. Young people who have not been halal just on do not know shame to boast about intimacy, while we who have been halal time yes lose to them," he said casually while holding the hand of the wife to go to one of the gulali sellers.

"Let go, Mas," Shandra's pinta who was so uncomfortable became the center of attention because her husband was so presumptuous to hold her hand.

Farhan displayed a row of clean white teeth and then said, "Sorry was just a reflex. Don't mistake me, but just salahin my hands that like nyosor-nyosor mulu." Shandra was just shaking her head at the babbling of her husband.

"You're a disgrace, Mas" Shandra taunts her husband, who unrelentingly eats the gulali in front of his salesman along with a number of small children.

Farhan simply flicked his shoulders indifferently. "Ngapain is also shy, the person I bought is not helpful. Yes, Mang?" The gulali seller simply nodded and smiled awkwardly.

"Naik biang lala yuk," he asked without permission to pull back Shandra's wrist. "I don't want to. You're alone" Shandra refused and quickly let go of her husband's hand.

"Here's a stretch of doang, Shan. The heart of the husband. No sin," he said a little forcefully.

Shandra just sighed. "It's up to you." Farhan cheered happily that he could finally get back to spending time with his older wife. His busyness in finding rupiah coffers makes it difficult for him to divide time between family and work. But he was grateful because tonight was still given a chance to take a break from his tired daily routine.
