Divorced for Poor

Chapter 60. Promise to sleep

After Naina and Lilis arrive at the restaurant, Nathan decides to work Monday to Saturday. On Sundays they will be together at home or go to the park. Naina was very happy with her father's decision.

For Lilis, whatever is best for the family, she will always support Nathan's decision. Because the decision on Sunday holidays, it is also good for the fetus in the womb. Because his father will always be able to spoil him.

Spoiling a wife and children is not just about money. But attention and togetherness become a happier thing. Setting aside time to be able to chat with each other and communicate with children and wives, will further add to the harmony of a family.

Making a living is important, but paying attention is also important. Both should be in harmony.

This morning, it was Sunday, and Nathan wasn't working. Lilis had finished preparing breakfast for the family as usual. After everything is ready, she calls mom and Naina in Naina's room.

"Naina, mom. Breakfast is ready," asked Lilis slowly.

"Lis Yes. Any minute. Naina just change clothes" replied Siti's mother.

"Mother, did you go to work?" ask Naina curious.

"No. I promised I wouldn't work on Sundays. You must be worried that I'm going to lie to Naina?" tanya Lilis teases Naina.

"Yes, mom. Naina's afraid of Naina's lying father. But it turns out that I didn't lie" replied Naina happily.

"Eat him now Naina must not doubt father. Naina has to believe in dad" Lilis said with a smile. "Mom's gonna call me for breakfast. But if Naina is hungry, eat first too papa. You see, I left to run in the morning, and must still be tired and have to take a shower first."

"Yes, Mom."

"Let's mommy, who accompanied Naina to breakfast," said Ms. Siti.

Lilis stepped towards her room. He opened the door and his eyes opened to see what was happening.

"Well, how do you sleep again?" ask Lilis quietly.

Nathan fell asleep still wearing his gym clothes. Lilis became anxious, as it was not usual for her husband to sleep again after dawn prayers. Especially this, after a morning run, even sleep.

Is she sick, Inner Lilis.

Lilis approached Nathan slowly, afraid that her husband would wake up and be shocked. The husband touched his forehead, and it was ordinary. Not having a fever. Lilis breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he's just exhausted.

Lilis looked at her husband's calm face while sleeping. She immediately confirmed the blanket and covered her husband's body. After that he went out to meet Naina and mother.

"Where's the father, ma'am? naina asked when she saw her mother coming alone.

"Dad turned exhausted and fell asleep again," Lilis replied with a small laugh.

"Sleep again? No papa, what matters is father at home" said Naina lirih.

"Then let's have breakfast first," said Lilis, taking rice for Naina and mother, and then for herself. Although, Naina said it was okay, there seemed to be a hint of disappointment on her little face.

After the meal, Lilis and Siti's mother cleaned the food container. While Naina plays at the family home.

"Lis, Naina looked sad because her father could not accompany her," said Bu Siti.

Finished cleaning up, Lilis saw the state of her husband. Nathan is still sleeping. Lilis sat down beside him and leaned against the bed rest while straightening her legs so as not to get tired.

While pregnant, Lilis sometimes felt cramps in her calves so she did not dare to stand for long. Afraid that if there is a cramp while standing, he can fall. Falling is a very dangerous thing for pregnant women. Both for the mother and for the baby in the womb.

Lilis leaned back while reading the guidebook of pregnant women, who when she was first pregnant, did not have the money to buy it. Now that Lilis had the money, she bought some manuals for pregnant women. His activities during leisure time.

Nathan wriggled softly and was startled when he realized he had fallen asleep again after the run. Plus seeing Lilis beside him while reading a pregnant women's guidebook.

"My wife baby, why don't you wake me up?" nathan asked while sitting down.

"Oh, are you awake? Mas, I was about to wake up, but was afraid of being shocked. I think that Nathan is tired and needs some time to rest and sleep" Lilis said with a sigh.

"I'm sorry, I was just pretending to sleep to tease you. Unexpectedly, I fell asleep, actually," Nathan said bluntly.

"So, intentionally want to mess around? The body still stinks of sweat, hasn't bathed back to sleep yet. Still lazy to wake up again. Wake up, take a shower, no" said Lilis, tickling her husband's waist.

"Owh, tingle. Take a shower" Nathan said with a laugh.

"No, you'll tempt me again. Already, a shower there."

"Ready."

Nathan rushed to the bathroom and did not lam then heard the sound of water shower gurgling flowing. Lilis smiled, enjoying the days with her husband with a happy joke.

After the bath, Nathan came out wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist. Lilis rushed to prepare a change of clothes for her husband. From underwear to changing clothes.

"Thank you, baby," Nathan said as he stood behind Lilis.

Lilis gasped in shock when suddenly, Nathan hugged her from behind. It felt like her husband's burly body was about to say that she was ready to be the life support of Lilis.

"You're shocked? I just want to hold you for a moment. By hugging you, I feel like I have a new spirit and a new responsibility to do, even though I am in a slump. I must always protect my wife and children without complaining. Because of you, I have the spirit of life, I keep trying to survive and keep trying hard even though I have to work hard to get a bite of rice. I don't have anything I can be proud of in front of you. As long as you still want to depend on this poor man, I will always try to be the most beautiful and comfortable place to lean on you" Nathan said in Lilis' ear.

Lilis was stunned for a moment and was moved to hear Nathan's confession. His eyes were teary and almost crying. But if she cried, her husband would misunderstand her and would feel sad to see her. After all, she also had to look tough and accept the current state of her husband.

"Mas Nathan, thank you for making me your spirit. Thank you for being the most beautiful place for me and the kids. Thank you for making me the luckiest woman in the world for having such a loving and responsible and loyal husband. Thank you for the mouthful of rice you make from your hard work and from the lawful path, it will be a blessing to me and the children will also be your reward fields for giving your wife a lawful living. I don't need a man who can boast in front of his wife. If you want to be considered valuable to a wife, it is enough to be a responsible and loyal man with one woman. Be a good priest to me" Lilis replied gently but firmly.

"How lucky I am to have you. Not only is your face beautiful, but your heart is also kind. I want to always be the best priest for you. Although I can't be the perfect husband, at least I've tried to be the best for you" Nathan said, kissing Lilis' hair.

" Mommy, any wife or woman, doesn't just need an appointment. But what is needed are actions and deeds that reflect the promises that have been made. Be a good father and be a role model for our children. Naina is getting bigger and she can already protest if we make a mistake. He was still waiting for his father's promise to go play together" Lilis reminded Nathan.

"I almost forgot I had an appointment with Naina. I change clothes first, we go to the usual park later" Nathan said as he let go of his embrace.

Lilis smiled at Nathan's words that were immediately responded to with her warning.

Nathan immediately changed clothes without shame in front of Lilis. Lilis who was even blushed, saw the body of the husband that she could clearly see.

Thank you Nathan, you've been trying to be a good father to Naina, Lilis' inner being.
