Destiny of the Village Girl

The coming of Adam

The morning sun was so bright, as if everything was going well for anyone starting their day. The dining table had been filled with dirty dishes and the rest of the dishes, Fira and Leony had already finished breakfast.

"Leony, you went to see your husband, right?" ask Fira while cleaning the dining table.

"Yes, I'll ride my own bike. You don't have to drive me Fir," as if Leony knew what Fira meant. They are indeed understanding.

"That's dangerous to your gynecological health Leony, I'll deliver you. It's better for your baby" Fira tried to persuade her.

Leony paused for a moment, "god willing I'll be fine. The road is very smooth from here to the city, there's nothing to worry about Fir."

Fira was silent to the words of her best friend who insisted she did not want to be delivered. But their conversation came to a halt when there was the sound of a car door closing. They both went out immediately. Adam was at the door.

Adam looked at his wife for a moment, then he lowered his head to take off his shoes. Fira went to leave them both inside. He postponed his departure to the marketing office because he was worried that Adam and Leony were involved in a dispute.

Somewhat long ago the atmosphere of silence, Adam and Leony had been sitting on the porch of the house without a word.

"I made you coffee first, mas" said Leony standing up and entering the house.

"Yes" Adam only listened to his wife's words. His heart also froze as the atmosphere between them froze. He doesn't know what to say.

A week his wife left him, since then he has no appetite. Work is also not focused, everything becomes dark. It is undeniable that he loves his wife, but if he recalls his wife's changed attitude, he also can not resist the emotion.

Only Rizka comforted him when he was devastated. But he also remembered what they had done. He's an asshole who doesn't deserve a ma'af. He continues to curse himself in the heart.

Leony served coffee next to him, now they're sitting next to him. Adam started the conversation.

"Hani, I'm sorry about all the mistakes. It's been rough with you." Adam spoke in a soft tone, his voice sounding sad.

"Yes, I also asked ma'af because I was carried away by emotions. I can't control my emotions."

"Came here to pick you up, you want to go home with mas? the clothes and things you brought just let it stay here. From now on you can return to this village as you please. As long as you're happy, you're happy, too" Adam said with a heavy heart. Honestly, he did not want his wife to go to the village more often.

"Thank you for your understanding. But I can't go home to your parents anymore. I want us to contract a house only mas, if you don't have enough money to buy a house."

"Okay hani, mas will follow your will. You can buy me a house now. But just a small size, if you want. Rather than contracting a waste of money alone, hani." Adam tried to keep his wife feeling this time.

"Mas, I've never demanded a mansion with you mas, I'm not a mad wife of treasure," Leony stared intently at Adam.

"Yes, hani. I am aware of all that, but I myself want to give the best for you, especially if we already have children later. I want a big house, Hani. But, since it's like this already, how else."

"Mas, a big house is not a measure of happiness. I'd rather we have a small house but in it a harmonious family, loving each other, mutual understanding. That's more than enough."

Leony was silent for a moment, it was the right time to tell her pregnancy. But, he could not tell that his mother had said she would abort his womb. Now he's worried.

"Mas, I'm at home living in my father's and mother's house. It's just, I'm craving again. I'm not good with mom and house people, my job is just sleeping every day. And that's because of the congenital pregnancy of the mas, the congenital of the baby," Leony thought this was the right reason.

"So you're pregnant Hani??" adam's expression was surprised, he seemed happy to hear his wife saying that she was pregnant, "Why didn't you ever say hani??"

"Ma'af mas, I found out too late. I just realized it too. So, can you grant my request? besides our room upstairs, it's too dangerous for me to go up and down the stairs."

"Yes, hani, of course. Anything for you and our baby" said Adam with a big smile. This time his expression changed drastically, he looked extremely excited.

"Mas, I'll stay here while you find us a house, will you?"

"Yes, hani. You can be here first. It's also early morning, you have to work first. We're gonna survey some information about the house, okay?"

"Yes, um."

"You're fine here, '" Adam kissed his wife's forehead.

Adam got up from his seat and said goodbye. He got into his car and went back to town. Leony was relieved, finally Adam listened to him. He just hopes that the household is okay, especially the baby in his birth.

After Adam leaves, Fira comes out following Leony. He hopes that the problems of his friend's household can be resolved properly. But looking at Leony's face it seemed like everything was fine.

"So, everything's fine, right?" ask Fira carefully. He was afraid to offend his friend.

"Alhamdulillah, all good. Adam already knew about my pregnancy and he followed what I wanted" Leony said with a faint smile on his lips.

"Thank God, your household is still a corn. Don't run aground, you have to take care of the integrity of your household," said Fira looking at the watch on her wrist, "after noon, I have to go to the marketing office. Are you here or are you coming?"

"I'm coming, I'm confused at home alone."

"We're not exhausted? if you're tired, you'd better be at home" said Fira.

"I'm good, you take it easy."

They both went to the marketing office. The sun was already higher, the morning dew had already evaporated. The workers are busy in the field.

Moreover, Bian, the material came back and forth. Sweat was already pouring down his forehead and neck. Another case with Nurin who looks more relaxed showing work to other building porters.

During the day as usual they sit in a bude Sum stall buying food and drinks. What everyone likes most is the fried food sold bude Sum tastes very good, plus petis and spicy sauces that arouse the appetite of lunch.
