HUSBAND'S HEART

part 51 PROSPECTIVE WIFE

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ilham had just finished signing the files sent online by Arief and printed by Yuana earlier. Then tidy it up into several maps of snelhecter adjusted to the designation.

His intention to call Arief, he said because there was a knock on the door that was not even closed.

"Assalamu'alaikum, how lonely is it.. Where are all you going?" the soft sound of the door knocker was heard accompanied by a sweet smile as Ilham looked towards the door.

"Wa alaikum salam, ma'am. How are you?" Ilham was a little surprised by the arrival of his brother-in-law, while Rahmat did not say anything about the arrival of his wife.

"Well, as you see it now. Thank God I am healthy. Ummah where?"

"Again the streets to the mall ahead the same kids. Sister Ratna just came alone or was with Mas Rahmat?" still wondering if the two of them did not know each other's whereabouts.

"Just here, Ham, I got on this last plane."

"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come? Can be picked up by Mr. Hadi or Arief at the airport. What was up here?"

"Alhamdulillah there are now online taxis, so it is easy to transport. Mbak does not like to be troublesome, anyways pingin make a surprise really. But what's surprising is nothing, hehe."

"Why not go with Mas Rahmat, Ma'am?"

"Kayak ndak know masmu aja. If you're busy with projects where you can be disturbed."

Ilham was increasingly astonished by Ratna's answer and thought that her brother's household must be in trouble.

"Yes, but as busy as you are, isn't communication with your partner important?" although he felt himself wise, somehow the sentence came out, "may you find a solution to your problem."

"Hey..who said we had a problem," argued Ratna coincided with the sound of the gate creaking followed by the sound of the car door debum closed.

"Ah it must be ummah just like children," he continued, running towards the side door that connects the living room with the garage.

Ratna was surprised to see in front of her, Grace was trying to hold a child who was clearly not Azyan, because the curly long hair that was pinched in two was definitely not a boy.

Even more surprising was that the little girl had been taken from the lap of a white woman who was younger and more beautiful than him.

And when Grace had carried the child, the woman was busy carrying some items that seemed to be toys of the child.

Is this what you've been saying busy lately, Mom? Is that kid your son, Mas? Is this behind your cold attitude all along? Even the Ummah hid well. Is this the meaning of Ilham's ambiguous speech? Nah! Nah! I don't want to be combined, I can't...

"Rabella?!"

Grace was almost in disbelief, his wife was suddenly already here. Wasn't Ratna always busy and only willing to take some time if it was Tiara's problem? Why not tell me if you want to come here, you know what you left together, isn't that better? And why is his face so pale? Is he sick?

"Excuse me," Yuana who walked past him realized the Grace of his usefulness.

But because he was holding Nabila, he just passed Ratna while raising one hand and speaking without a sound, "wait."

Ratna did not think at all that Grace had ignored her in order to follow the woman who had walked before her. Towards the guest room! Even Grace went into that room!

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim," muttered Ratna while holding her chest which seemed to be pressured by a very heavy burden. Lunglai had both legs that he supported with all his strength to stay upright earlier. With a slight stagger he walked quickly towards the sofa and sat himself there.

While in the guest room that had been renovated into the children's room, Yuana rushed to prepare a bed for Nabila on the mattress on the right side, then prepare also for Azyan, who was in the middle of the room, mattress shaped fortress-style fairyland that is on the left side. The boy was eleven-twelve with Nabila, surely he would go home later as well in a state of sleep.

Rima who fell asleep next to Norish, who was lying on his stomach on a playmat that was held near the fort while holding an empty bottle, woke up when Rahmat entered and placed Nabila on a mattress that had been prepared by Yuana.

"Sorry, Miss Yuana, I fell asleep!" rima who felt dipped asleep while running the task.

clinthii

The sound of a small solid object falling and rolling under the bed where Nabila had just been laid makes Yuana and Rima spontaneously turn to Rahmat who stood drowning beside Nabila's mattress.

Not knowing what had fallen and Grace had gone out of the room, Yuana returned her attention to Norish, who was now banging on a toy hanging over the playmat.

"You can do it, Rim.. You fell asleep while watching Norish? You stayed up again last night? Fortunately Norish did not crawl everywhere.Danger knew," Yuana said to Rima, who seemed to be curious about what had fallen.

"Yes, last night continued watching drakor yesterday. Abis nanggung, Ma'am, there are only a few episodes left, hihi," replied Rima while grimacing to admit her mistake.

"Other times do not repeat, then repeat it must be reported to Ms. Fatma," said Yuana.

"Yes, Ma'am, Rima promised," Rima replied while still waiting to peek under the bed.

"What are you doing anyway?"

"Nyari who fell earlier, Ms Yuana ndak at all?"

Yuana ignored Rima, her legs were already feeling tired, so it was better to choose to save her legs while looking after and looking after Norish.

"Mom!"

Rima who suddenly approached and patted the thigh, startled Yuana.

"What the hell, what a habit," Yuana grumbled.

"Sir Mercy who the hell, I think is noisily," whispered Rima.

"What a storm, it looks like it's the same as his wife, has already lost the habit of the lady."

Yuana indeed heard the faint voice of Ratna and Grace who seemed to be debating something, she pulled Rima's hand as Rima was about to go towards the door.

"If in fact there is his wife Mr. Grace, Rima wants to make a drink, Ma'am," Rima chelates because he was found to be eavesdropping.

"So there is Mbok Sari, must have been made to drink, already here just do your job."

While in the workspace, after Ratna's death, Ilham called Arief to discuss the files he had signed earlier and discuss plans for tomorrow, so Arief could go home immediately, he said, no need to come home this afternoon.

Ilham stretched his body up, to the right and to the left, then stood up from his seat and walked out of his study. He also wants to join if the ummah has really gone home. Getting together with his family is something he really likes.

But it turned out that the one sitting on the sofa was only Grace and Ratna. Want to come sit down to join he said because it looks like they are struggling.

"Mas Mercy need not explain what Ratna saw with Ratna's own eyes. I didn't think that Rahmat would rather cheat."

"Astagfirullahal... Abaghfirullahal... Abaghfirullahal. It's already! Will it change reality?"

"The truth will not change, dear, but the emotions in your heart will subside. So we can talk nice."

"Ratna doesn't care, Mas. Mau Mas Rahmat married again, want to gather kebo, Ratna did not care. If Mas Rahmat is tired of Ratna, return it well, don't do this!"

Grace tried to dampen his wife's emotions by wrapping her hand on his shoulder. But Ratna always refused, not to be touched.

"But that's Yuana..."

"Yes! That was Yuana, that old apprentice right? How many years, Mom? How many years did Grace hide it?!"

"Mas never hide. Even now the ummah has considered him its own son. So Mas also considers Yuana his own sister. Inspiration and Annisa too."

"Who would believe. Keeping a young widow in the house under the pretext of being made a sister. That stale reason, Mas."

The quarrel stopped because of the sound of the maghrib. Ratna got up and ran to the second floor towards her room. It was followed by Grace who brought with her Ratna's suitcase which was near the stairs.

The inspiration that was about to go forward helped Rahmat explain to Ratna about Yuana being dejected. He then turned his head towards the children's room, and Yuana opened the door and exited the room with a flat face. She didn't know if Yuana heard everything she heard or not.

"Where are you?" tanya Ilham, because her mother left with Grace and Yuana.

"Not yet to come home, Mom. Maybe soon because Annisa was overtaken and Azyan asked to buy grilled sausage."

"Well, it's usually a long queue."

"Yes, Mas, the queue was pretty good."

"You're having a party?"

"Byeah, Mas. But Yuana take the wudlu first yes," replied Yuana enthusiastically let alone see mbok Sari who was wearing a mukena enter and head to the musholla, "Mbok, wait, we worship."

"Yes, Miss Yuana."

Ilham smiled to see Yuana's cheerful face, he followed Yuana to queue wudlu in a clean bathroom near the musholla.

When the three of them were ready at the mosque, Ms. Fatma ran into the house and asked to wait to join the congregation. And finally they pray Maghrib congregation of four, because Annisa is not and Pak Hadi chose his own prayer in the pavilion.

It seems like Rahmat and Ratna were congregating alone in the room, as they did not come out of the room at all until Isha's time'. And it just came down after everyone gathered in the family room waiting for dinner.

Ratna was so happy to see Ms. Fatma smiling at him, but instantly wiped her cheerful face as soon as she saw Yuana sitting next to Ms. Fatma.

After greeting and kissing Ms. Fatma's hand, Ratna took a seat away at the end of the sofa so as not to be adjacent to Yuana. Grace shook her head at his wife's unfounded jealousy.

Warm discussion starts from asking each other the news, then telling the latest routine of their daily activities, as well as the complexity of Tiara before adolescence.

As usual, Ms. Fatma always responded wisely, various advice she slipped in order to be accepted by her children without seeming patronizing.

"Mumpung Ratna has come here, ummah will give a gift for Grace and Ratna. Which brochure did you get from the mall, Mat?"

"Emmm, Yuana's grace is like, Umah."

"Ah yes, it's in Yuana's bag."

Yuana also remembered when there was an SPG travel agent who dressed sexy gave a few brochures to Grace, then handed them to her because they had to help Azyan climb the climbing wall. Then he rushed to the children's room where he left his backpack, took out the brochure in question and handed it to Ms. Fatma.

Ms. Fatma read the brochures and asked Yuana if there was anything less understood.

"This one is in the mountains, this one is on the beach, which one is good, Nduk?"

"Ask directly to Pak Rahmat or Bu Ratna aja, Mom, there will be youth," Yuana chose to transfer to the concerned only.

"Oh yes, hehe," Fatma chuckled as she patted Yuana on the knee, then handed the brochures to Ratna, "Try you choose one of the, ummah treat."

"Enak beneeeer" Annisa teased her sisters.

"Whose hotel vouchers do you like?" ma'am Fatma's question was answered with a big smile by Annisa.

Ratna slightly raised her body so that her hands could reach the brochure. Then he swung to the arm of Grace sitting next to him.

"Oh, honeymoon package. So if I don't come here, a new wife will be invited. It must have been a sprain, it turned out to be the same as me," he muttered half-whispering to Grace.

She felt that Ms. Fatma still appreciated herself by giving the honeymoon package to her. TTRatna flipped through the brochure, leaning her head on her husband's shoulder.

"So spoiled gini, guarded by the way, still suspicious of his innate," whispered back Grace.

"Didn't suspect how, everywhere is a widow, let alone who has children, the son must be a fatherly, established. If you are still single will not be seen even in front of your eyes," not even muttering anymore.

Although it was not loud but quite audible by all who were sitting in the room, of course all were shocked to hear it.

Ratna's emotions had subsided a little, ignited back into the country a honeymoon package brochure entrusted Grace to Yuana.

"Who do you mean by Ratna?" Annisa felt that Ratna seemed to be insinuating Yuana, "Yuana?"

"Eh, how can you guess right away, so everyone knows?"

"Mbak Ratna don't just accuse me, you must have misunderstood."

"Misunderstand? Wong can't see her own eyes. Recall... Al hamwu al death, brother-in-law alone is death, let alone others. Why also Ummah must bring foreign women into the house. Ilham is still single, Mas Rahmat also often come here alone, is not it deliberately inviting slander his name."

"Patience, Nduk," Fatma rubbed Yuana's shoulders, "Ratna, why can you think like that, su'udzon, no good, son. That's why the ummah wants you to take one of those packages, so you can repair your relationship. Don't be rejected, if you need to leave tomorrow. Ummah has given a lot of input for Grace. Grace.... You understand the meaning of ummah right? You head of the household, you must be able to decode the ark of your household well."

"But Ummah, as long as the butterfly egg is still stored, for a long time it will be a gnawing caterpillar..." Ratna was still unable to accept Yuana's existence in the mansion, but before finishing uncovering her worries, her sentence was cut off by someone who had just arrived.

"Don't worry about Yuana! He's not wrong, he won't disturb anyone's household, let alone your household. Because he's getting married to me soon. Yuana, my future wife!"
