Finding the Heart

Fondling a Jealous Heart

"Yuudha ..."

"Yes, Ma..."

"Here's a minute"

Julia called her eldest son down from the top floor. He took her to the back room. Dicky, Adel and Juan on the back porch were astonished to see the serious look on Yulia's face that came with Yudha.

"Sit"

Yudha obeyed the orders of his mother. He sat in the corner of the room, not far from Juan and the others.

"What's up, Ma?"

"Mom should ask you that question, Yudha", Yulia began to face Yudha's relaxed and calm attitude when talking to her

.

"Hey, lower your voice. Later Risa heard", Juan rebuked his wife.

Adel and Dicky were staring at each other. What the hell is this?

"Yudha, please be honest with Mama"

"All right?!", replied Yudha with a smile.

"What's going on between us and Milea?"

Again. Adel and Dicky were more surprised this time.

"Mile?", asked Yudha calmly.

"Yes. Milee"

"I mean, Mama?"

"Yes, this kid. That's when you were talking hiding in the backyard. He's crying on your shoulder. Then use that hand, what's the matter?!"

Yudha still looked calm and smiled in the face of her mother's barrage of questions.

"There's nothing"

"Like that there's nothing? You are not sane. Risa sees you like that is she going to think you guys are nothing? It is Yudha"

"Mile just vent"

"But it shouldn't be like that. You didn't think about Risa's feelings?"

Yulia was already provoked by her emotions. Sometimes his tone of speech is high. Yudha got up from her seat. She approached Mama, pulled her hand and dropped her Mama's head in her arms. Gently rubbing the head of the woman who gave birth to it. Then kiss her forehead.

"Mama take it easy. Risa Yudha's. Nothing's gonna happen. And between Yudha and Mile nothing happened. We stay as we used to. Old friend. Later Yudha will talk to Risa"

Yulia. Juan, Dicky and Adel were silent. Hope everything's okay.

Keekkk ...

Yudha opened the door and closed it slowly. Baby Aldi is not sleeping. Dhika accompanied her sister. He sat next to her. Invite her baby sister to play. Risa who saw the coming of Yudha, pretended to be indifferent. He held back all his feelings. His annoyance and anger. And also his jealousy towards his husband.

"Haloo... Girl, Papa. Not sleeping?"

"Just woke up, Pa. Just drinking milk", said Dhika representing his baby sister.

"Hmmm... Play with Dhika sister huh?!"

She smiles. There was pride in the little man's heart. Now he is a brother. Yudha who was sitting beside the firstborn caressed the head of his son. Then kiss her forehead.

"Sister Dhika"

"Yes, Pa"

"May Papa ask for something?"

"Can"

"Papa Mama wants to talk for a second. Brother Dhika can wait downstairs for a minute, baby?"

"Hmmm... Can"

"Thank you"

Dhika smiled while nodding her head. Then walk out.

"Mr .."

"Yes.."

"Don't you naughty?!"

Brakk...

Door closes. There were only Yudha, Risa and Baby Aldis. For a moment they were silent. Yudha walked over to his wife who was sitting on the sofa. Seeing Yudha approaching Risa rose from her seat, but Yudha's hand first went away.

He held his wife's waist, his right hand stroking Risa's hair and cheeks. Hugged her. Risa did not refuse her husband's embrace. His agitated heart suddenly calmed down and died down.

"mile ... Just telling me about the problem with Adam. Just a vent. There was nothing between the two of us. Believe me, baby"

"Don't get used to confiding in the opposite sex, sister. Fear of demon entry"

"Yes, honey. I'm sorry"

Risa tightened her embrace on her husband. He's feeling a little calm. He knows Yudha and Mile have been friends since High School. It is like my own brother. It is natural for a wife to be jealous of her husband, if there is another woman beside her husband. But Risa thought this time, maybe she was too much. He believed in Yudha. Just like Yudha believed in her.
