9. The changing taste.
Anne turned her lips, there was no reply from Bang Giras. He put his cell phone back on the dinner table.
"Why Bang Giras did not reply yes daritadi, should not if Bang Giras really like me, surely he will answer it. Is Nadine still angry?" mumbling Anne.
"Assalamu'alaikum.." Bang Rey greeted him and opened the door.
"Wa'alaikumsalam Bang's. Is the job done?" ask Anne.
"It." Bang Rey saw the food on the table still intact untouched. "Why haven't you eaten yet? It's eleven o'clock at night"
"No appetite Bang" replied Anne.
Bang Rey smiled as she rubbed Anne's hair, staring at the food on the dining table. He really did not understand why the taste of Anne's cooking was not wise before they married. It used to taste the cuisine more often taste spicy savory but now it dominates the sweet taste.
"Darling, can you cook arsik goldfish tomorrow like that? Brother wants to eat fish" Bang Rey's pinta between intentionally and not to test Anne.
"Ooohh. aahh. hmm that Bang, Anne was nauseous smelling fish" reason Anne because she was not at all good at cooking complicated food seasoning.
"That's it, but this is on the table there's shady fish sauce." point out Bang Rey.
"That's what Nadine sent here the fish shields"
"Oyaa, but Nadine is allergic to seafood" Bang Rey said.
"Yaaa, maybe because it was deliberately cooked for Bang Giras only Bang" replied Anne.
"Bang Rey accepted Anne's excuse without having more logic, especially if not her great love for the wife.
***
Bang Giras's eyes could not be closed. He accompanied Nadine who was still asleep due to the influence of drugs so that his wife did not experience much mental stress.
"Put him, baby, I really love him. Slowly everything has passed when Mas Gi decided to marry you" he muttered so devastated knowing Nadine turned out to be this weak.
-_-_-_-_-
"Waduuuha.. Niken cook it. What are you cooking deck?" sapa Bang Rey went straight to the kitchen of Bang Giras house because she saw Niken cooking.
"Fish Mas arsik" answered Niken flatly.
"Abang wants to donk" asked Bang Rey.
Without saying much Niken took rice for Bang Rey then served the fish in front of Bang Rey.
"Waahh, your cooking is as good as Anne's, but baby, she can't smell fish anymore, she said. Understandably pregnant young." cerosos Bang Rey.
At once Niken also put all the cooking utensils that will be washed. He ran into his room.
"Lho deck, why are you??" Bang Rey's reflex left her plate and followed Niken to the room.
"Come out Bang, it's inappropriate for a married man to come to a girl's room..!!" say hard Niken.
"Say first. You why?"
"Go Bang, don't make Niken's heart hurt..!!" pinta Niken's.
Bang Rey came out frowning, before long Bang Giras came. "What's the matter.. How noisy?"
"Niken was angry when I mentioned Anne's name" Bang Rey replied.
"Hhsstt. never mention Anne again. Nadine was also sleeping" Bang Giras said.
"What's wrong with my wife?"
"There's nothing. Bumil ordinary" Bang Giras patted his litting shoulder, not knowing where to say things that should not be said.
"You're not usually like this. Say it frankly..!!!"
"There's nothing. Continue eating..!!" bang Giras.
...
"Nadine's not hungry" Nadine turned her face away.
"The little one must be hungry deck"
"Nadine doesn't want this kid...!!!!!!" Nadine returns every emotion about the child.
It feels like Bang Giras died of fleas. His mind was dead-end not knowing how to persuade Nadine.
"Nadine wants how's the deck?" bang Giras asked lowered his voice.
"Nadine wants us to cancel this wedding..!!"
"Cancel how? We're legally married, there's Mas Gi's son in your stomach. Don't talk weird deck...!! Not good..!!" Bang Giras tried to touch Nadine but her wife refused.
"Nadine doesn't want to live like this, not be loved, not acknowledged..!!"
"Who said you don't love??? You are already pregnant like this, how can you say Mas is not love..!!!!!" the rumbling within Bang Giras' chest finally overflowed as well. He who is not good at indulging in the word love must finally say such words in front of Nadine, the young girl he married two months ago.
"But Mas Gi had silenced Nadine. I didn't try to get close to Nadine. Why did Mas Gi choose to sleep separate rooms. Is it so beautiful that Anne filled Mas Gi's heart??" shouting Nadine.
"Is it just me who has to open up the interaction?? Mas Gi is waiting for you, every day you think. Husband and wife complement each other. You approached Mas was your right to deck. Why don't you do it?? Embarrassed?? We have t*******g together and exchange sweat. There is no name Anne. Mas Gi's heart and mind are full of you..!!!" bang Giras emotions provoked response to pregnant women who sometimes like to think ngalor ngidul off track.
Nadine's tears were getting more and more flowing, he was as unwilling as his head felt dizzy until it finally fell.
"Astagfirulah.. Mas Gi what else, baby??" the words were accidentally thrown from the lips of Bang Giras. He arranged Nadine's sleeping position and then awakened his wife.

Bang Rey dismantled the warehouse to look for ceremonial belt buckles.
"Where is the buckle. Anne also certainly did not know" muttered Bang Rey until the end he found a small bag belonging to Anne. He opened it and looked at the contents. There was handwriting that he knew for sure who the owner was.
Beautifully written expression of feelings Niken for him, also said goodbye to the menu sent from day to day. Also a beautiful word so that he always takes care of health.
'Good morning Bang, today Niken send soto ayam. Many khan activities in the Battalion. His work spirit is Bang. May your tiredness be a blessing'
One of the contents of a small memo of encouragement for him. Bang Rey re-read one by one the attention Niken gave her.
Bang Rey leaned back limp as she read back Niken's apology for making a button on her striped shirt come off, Niken had tried to sew it, but because the army's green color did not exist.. the girl had to replace it with pink.
Soon Bang Rey looking for her striped uniform, at one by one buttons of her shirt and sure enough. there is one button attached neat and strong with pink yarn.
Once again Bang Rey read.
'Bang Rey, in every dress Brother. has Niken embroidered the name NR which means Niken Rey. Don't be mad, Bang..!!'
"Astagfirullah hal adzim.. Niken..!! Brother never received any memos and messages from you deck.." Bang Rey leaned back hugging that pile of papers. His mind floated thinking of Niken, not feeling his tears dripping. "That means.. All this time all the attention you received?? Why did Anne admit it?? Why don't you ever tell yourselves to Brother??"
Bang Rey walked quickly to the room and saw Anne sleeping in her bed. Suddenly Bang Rey's chest hurt a lot. He doesn't know how to express his feelings at the moment. On the other hand, Anne had become his wife and had her baby.but on the other hand she could not resist a taste. "Abang believes in you deck, because of your concern that Brother is in love. But now how you should behave, it is not you. Brother loves the woman who gave that attention.not you..!!!" Bang Rey couldn't quite make up her heart. He ran to the garage to get his bike somewhere.
~
"Bang Rey??? it's been twelve o'clock. Why is Brother here??" pekik Niken's.
Soon Bang Rey hugged Niken no matter what.
"Mafin Brother deck. Brother realized it too late" said Bang Rey made Niken stunned. Her tears are dripping.
"Go home to your wife Bang, Niken is sincere"
"Abang didn't take you off..!!" bang Rey replied reluctantly to take off her embrace.
