Gus Faiz's large family group had come home this morning, not least Umi and Abah. My family all live in Jakarta so they have come home overnight, no one stays because they feel they can come and go at any time, because the distance can be said to be close.
Gus Faiz and I decided to stay in my family home for a while.
I took a broom. Then began sweeping the floor of the middle room. I want to fill my activities with useful things.
"An?" the call from my husband made me look.
"Yes, Mas?" my many. I put down the broom and approached my husband.
Instead of approaching me, Gus Faiz immediately picked up the broom I had just placed. Why does he seem to avoid me? Do I stink? I kissed my right and left armpits. I did not feel any smell from my body, it was fragrant because I had sprayed the best perfume recommendation from Mia.
"Let me help" said Gus Faiz.
"Eh, no, Mas. Let me." I said.
"It's okay. I just want to help you get done" said Gus Faiz.
"E.. How do you help me sit down, let me make you a drink, Mas, want some tea or coffee?" my many.
Gus Faiz smiled, then shook his head. "no need. You just sit down. I know you've been tired since morning." said Gus Faiz.
I'm weighing. I don't want my husband to do housework but Mama says, I have to obey my husband. Gus Faiz told me to sit down. So, I have to sit down.
"But I made you some tea?" I said.
Gus Faiz nodded. He was a really talkative husband. Without asking any more questions I went straight to the kitchen and made tea for Gus Faiz. When I finished I came back.
When I returned, Gus Faiz was seen sitting on the sofa. I'm looking for the broom she was holding. After circulating my gaze I saw Brother Ulfa holding the broom.
I wonder in my heart, the reason for Brother Ulfa who is now holding a broom. Ah, it's possible Ulfa didn't have the heart to see Gus Faiz sweep. I secretly thanked him.
"You are what the hell, Nindy? How's your husband, you told him to sweep?" ask Ulfa.
I stopped my steps. "Astaghfirullah, forgive me, brother. I'm.." I can't go on.
"I asked to replace Anin. So, please don't blame Anin, sister" said Gus Faiz.
"Tuh, look. You should be grateful to have a husband like Gus Faiz. He is understanding to you. Don't take advantage of dong's kindness!" exclaim Brother Ulfa.
I'm down. What Ulfa said was all right.
"What's this a fuss?" ask Mama who suddenly came.
"This, Ma. Nindy let her husband sweep the floor of our house" Ulfa said.
"That bill, Nindy?" ask Mama.
I'm nodding. Duck. My eyes are so hot.
"No, Tan. I mean Mama. No, Ma. I sweep of my own volition because I fear Anin is exhausted" Gus Faiz said.
Gus Faiz approached me.
"You heard it yourself, didn't you, Ulfa? Gus Faiz is the one who wants to. Already Mama does not want this small problem extended anymore" said Mama.
"But, Ma" said Brother Ulfa.
"Come, come with Mama, Ulfa!" said Mama.
"Well, Ma" said Brother Ulfa.
Brother Ulfapun followed Mama from behind. The mood was silent again.
"You okay, An?" ask Gus Faiz.
I'm shaking.
"I'm sorry. Really, I didn't mean to see you being scolded by Brother Ulfa" Gus Faiz said.
"Yes, Mas. It's okay." I said. My voice suddenly became hoarse.
Gus Faiz took the tea in my hand. Then take me to sit. I neutralized my body and my heart.
I still need to adapt a lot. Four years of living life in a boarding house why make me stiff. I'm sure this only lasts a day or two, the rest of it is certain I will be able to adjust. I don't want to make Gus Faiz, Mama, Papa, and Kak Ulfa sad.
We sat facing him, he looked at me. I can't look sad. I smiled at him.
"I'm sorry" said Gus Faiz.
"No, Mas. Mas, not wrong. Don't apologize anymore." I said.
I nodded quickly. "You." I said.
"We're leaving now?" ask Gus Faiz.
"I finished sweeping first, yes, a minute." I said.
"Let me help" said Gus Faiz.
"Mas." I said.
Gus Faiz inward. I continued sweeping. Shortly afterwards he came out with a broom in his hand. She smiles. I smile back shyly.
I looked at Gus Faiz with a long sweeping spirit. He looks so funny in my eyes.
"Is there something wrong with the way I was swept?" ask Gus Faiz. He looks confused.
I approached him, I exemplified the sweeping motion with my broom, "The way to sweep the floor properly is like this, Mas. Dragging the broom by using short movements, to make sure there is no dirt left." I said.
"Like this?" ask Gus Faiz. He actually swept a little once, really short only about 10cm at a time dragging.
I put my broom on the wall. Then I grabbed Gus Faiz's hand on the broomstick. Then immediately exemplify it. "Well, like this, Mom." I said.
Gus Faiz did not respond. I'm looking. Our faces are very close. I hurriedly retreated and released my hand. I was completely unaware of having held Gus Faiz's hand.
"Sorry." I said to Gus Faiz.
"I'm so happy, An" said Gus Faiz.
I felt my cheeks red from embarrassment. My heart was pounding again. "I-I'll sweep over there." I said wrongly.
I turned around. I could feel Gus Faiz's smile behind my back. I touched my cheek.
Me and Gus Faiz quickly finished our sweep. I put my broom and Gus Faiz's broom in place. Then I approached my husband again. He sat on the couch and followed him.
"Drink." I gave my tea to me.
"I'll make a new one for you." I said get up.
Gus Faiz took my hand. Instantly I felt in the electric shock. "We can have tea together" said Gus Faiz.
Gus Faiz handed the tea to me. I accepted too. He hinted me to drink it, with an eye gesture. I also according. I took a little sip.
"The tea's cold, I made a new one, huh, Mas?" my many. I rise to my feet.
"You just change your clothes. Get ready to go" said Gus Faiz.
I looked at the clothes I was wearing. I nodded too. "You?" my many.
"I followed" said Gus Faiz.
I nodded, "I, go to the room first." I said.
Gus Faiz nodded. I went to my room to change clothes. Arriving in front of the closet I grabbed the front end of my hood and kissed.
"I'd better take a shower" I said.
I took clothes and towels and went to the bathroom. When I finished I went out. I found Gus Faiz playing his cell phone on the bed.
He didn't realize my existence. "Ekhm.." I said pretending to cough.
He looked and smiled thinly. I was misbehaving. I rubbed my neck. I also went to the makeup glass. Behind me, Gus Faiz observed me. I'm getting more wrong. I am confused as to what to do.
Silent. I'm getting more and more agitated. My brain and heart are out of sync.
"Did I make you uncomfortable, An?" ask Gus Faiz.
"It's not so, I'm just, just embarrassed." I said.
"Alright, I'll take a shower then" said Gus Faiz.
Seeing Gus Faiz enter the bathroom, I immediately smeared my face with a little bit of powder, powder, and lipstick. After that, I took a veil of clothes for my husband. I put my clothes on the bed, then started wearing a veil. Then I put on enough perfume.
After finishing the bath, Gus Faiz came out just as I was done. Looking at me, Gus Faiz's gaze instantly changed. Come on, I can't interpret that look. I looked at myself in the mirror, looking for what was wrong with my appearance. Especially face.
"Is there something wrong with my appearance?" my many.
"Nothing's wrong. You are so beautiful. It was like I had married an angel" he said.
My feet went limp for a moment.
