Arriving on Sunday, Rani and Rio moved to the contract that Rani had chosen a few days ago.
"Ma, Mas, Rani same Mas Rio saying yes, yes!" Rani said before leaving the house she had been living in all this time.
"Be careful, yes! Remember Mama's message!" Answer Briefly.
"Yes, Ma. Rani will remember Mama's message." Rani and Rio took turns shaking hands with Laras and Dawn.
"Please take care of my sister, yes!" The dawn told Rio. Even though he looked like a thug, but his heart remained soft and affectionate. Moreover, he was the only man in his family.
"Yes, Mas. Ready it!" Rio's reply was brief.
After saying goodbye, Rio and Rani both set off towards their new contract. Then they cleaned their rented house.
***
The days of Rani and Rio contracted were quite flexible. Especially cooking. If in the past at his mother's house, Rani must always eat home cooking, even bring provisions to eat during rest hours, now it's the opposite. Rani more often buy cooked food from outside, especially if you are working the morning shift. In fact, cooking alone and helping to cook is still far different. Cooking itself is very complicated, from preparing ingredients, processing, to cleaning cooking utensils. Very wasteful of time. Be Rani prefers to buy cooked food only.
"Mas, what kind of vegetable breakfast would you like? I'm gonna buy it at the front shop, right." Ask Rani one morning.
"I want to eat your cooking, Yang. Same with your cooking. I'm in shift 2. You watch the night, right?" Rio answered who was already busy with his phone.
"Yes, Mas. Yaudah, what do you want to eat? Let me masakin." Rani finally decided to comply with her husband's wishes. The habit of buying cooked food makes it so lazy to cook actually.
"As far as you are! What matters is that you cook. I'm the same cook at the front shop." Rio replied without looking at his wife who was standing around, waiting for her answer.
"Have, but don't protest if it's not good?"
"Yes. I never protested, Yang."
It's true, Rio never protested about food. His life was simple since childhood, plus his many brothers, made Rio accustomed to eating as is. They can eat very much, they are very grateful. So, Rio was used to frugality, tending to be stingy. Unless you want to.
"Okay, I'm shopping first. There's no cooking in the kitchen." Rani said goodbye.
"Yes, careful. Would you like me to anther?"
"No need, Mas. I can do it myself, I can." Rani still remembers her mother's message, to not depend on others, including her husband.
"Okay, careful!" Rio repeated his message.
"Yes, Mum."
Rani immediately went shopping for cooking ingredients. Because long time did not cook alone, finally he had no ingredients. Only available instant noodles, rice and eggs just in case the nights want to eat, lazy out and lazy messages between meals as well.
Some time later, Rani is back, with a bag of crackles in her hand.
"I'm home!" Rani cried while opening her contract door.
"Fright ony?" Said Rio who still held the same position as when Rani left earlier.
"Yes, Mas. Coincidentally not too queued." Rani replied, heading straight for the kitchen.
After washing his hands, Rani immediately executed the cooking ingredients she had bought earlier. He started by cutting the greens first. Then prepare the roof. But when peeling onions, suddenly his stomach feels nauseous.
"Cock so nauseous gini, huh? What's the reason for never cooking and never smelling onions again?" Rani muttered to herself, while closing her mouth, trying to endure her nausea.
Rani tries to hold back, continuing to slice the onions and the others. But still, it just increased his nausea. Especially when frying the seasoning, Rani really could not hold back anymore. He turned off the stove, and ran towards the sink.
"Geek!"
"Geek!"
Hearing Rani's unusual voice, Rio rushed into the kitchen.
"Why are you, Yang?" Rio asked who saw Rani was trying to pull out her entrails in that sink.
After gargling and wiping her mouth with her hands, Rani just answered Rio's question.
"I don't know this, Mom. Suddenly so nauseous pas peeling onions earlier. Before it was okay. There's no way it's catching a cold."
"Or are you not pregnant? Usually young pregnant people, do not like the same smell of stinging." Rio immediately guessed the possibility that happened to his wife.
"What is it, Mom? I was late for the moon. But I usually come months irregularly, so I don't think about it until there." Rani remembers again, when was the last time she came to the moon.
"Yaudah, mending in a test. I bought a tool for the test. Just stop!"
"What's this truck cooking, Mas? I'm not as strong as the smell of seasoning."
"I'll cook it. You go in that room! Let's not smell the spice anymore." Rio said wisely. Again, Rani became moved by the attention given by Rio.
"Okay, Mas."
Rani complied, she immediately walked towards her room, with weak steps. Seeing that, Rio rushed to clean it up, walking towards the only room in the rented house. Arriving at the room, Rio sat Rani on the bed.
"Thank you, Mom." Rani was moved by her husband's treatment.
"Yes, no problem. Bentar, I'll take a warm drink first." Rio rushed back to the kitchen, fetching a warm white drink from the dispenser. Then back to the room.
"Here, have a drink. Trus rest, do not do anything. I'll go to the pharmacy first." Rio pamit's.
"OK, Mum. Careful." Rani replied weakly.
Rio rushed over, put on a jacket and took the wallet, then left Rani in her room alone.
Shortly after Rio left, instead of sitting or lying down, Rani just got out of her bed. He walked slowly towards the living room, where Rio was playing on a mobile phone.
"It looks like HP Mas Rio's been left behind." Gumam Rani.
He was looking around for Rio's HP, yet he didn't meet it. Rani immediately returned to the room, took her HP and called her husband's number. It sounded like he was ringing in the middle room. Rani listened to where her voice was coming from. Then walk quickly, towards the source of the sound.
"Well, meet!" Rani said after finding Rio's HP under the carpet, where Rio was sitting earlier.
After turning off the call on Rio's HP, Rani immediately checked Rio's HP. He wanted to know if there was anything to suspect. Is it true, her husband if busy playing HP is just playing games? Or instead Rio has a relationship with another woman, so busy chatting with the woman.
Rani pressed the button on the side of HP.
"Well, it's in the password." Rani tries to enter some of the digits of the number requested. Guessing, the pass number on Rio's phone. From the date of birth to the date of marriage, everything fails.
"Why should it be encoded as well? It must be something." Rani's suspicions only grew bigger.
Failing to password Rio's phone, Rani chooses to return the phone to its original place, then walks back to her room. Rani laid her body down, trying to think again, is there really anything hidden by her husband? Why did he lock his phone like that. Shouldn't a husband and wife have no secrets? Even with the contents of his phone?
