"It ...."
Mahfudz gave me his ATM card.
I look at him.
"What's this?" my many.
"That's my A-T-M. The money is un-nayak. Mung-kin i-si her cu-ma se-ki-tar 13 ju-ta-an sa-ja. Pa-kai is un-tuk your ke-bu-tu-han and ke-bu-tu-han ru-mah se-la-ma a-ku per-gi" Mahfudz said.
I still don't believe it.
"Ray, a-ku sa-ngat ta-u, your money le-bih ba-nyak da-ri i-tu. Mung-kin ka-mu a-kan bi-lang no bu-tuh money da-ri-ku. Ta-pi sa-at ka-mu i-ngin ja-di is-tri the ba-ik, a-ku ju-ga i-ngin ja-di su-a-mi the ba-ik un-tuk-mu. And su-a-mi the ba-ik gung the ja-wab pa'da is-tri and his -lu-ar-ga the ma-suk da-lam the naf-kah thing"
It seems like Mahfudz can read my mind because I wanted to reject him.
I was hesitant between not rejecting it.
"If I take all this, you still have money to hold on to in the hospital?" many doubt.
Mahfudz took the wallet out of his pocket. He gave it to me. There are money sheets there.
"Can I count it?" my many.
I want to see how open Mahfudz is about finances with me.
Mahfudz nodded. "Hi-tung-lah" he said.
I counted. It turns out that the contents amounted to approximately 1.5 million neatly arranged in his wallet according to the nominal amount.
"You said your ATM card was 13 million. While in your wallet only 1.5 million. Is it enough to stock up there for 3 weeks?" my many.
"Yes, it's the cu-kup-cu-ku-pin. The money in the ATM-card was a-dal-ah trans-fe-ran money Ma-ma da-ri ha-sil sa-rang wal-et ki-ta. I-lau the money that a-da in-dom-pet me. I-tu ha-sil ker-jaku me-ner-je-mah-kan jur-nal un-tuk ba-han te-sis do-sen in kam-pus and journal te-man-te-man ko-as ju-ga"
I took all the money in Mahfudz's wallet and put his ATM card back in his wallet.
"I'll take this one" I said.
"Ray ...." Mahfud looks protesting.
"Darling, you don't seem to be doing anything in that swallow nest. That's the money Mama donk gave me. But this money is your hard work, my husband's sweat. I want this one" I said.
"I'm not going to go to ri-ngat me-ner-je-mah-kan jur-nal. I-I-ke-ri-ngat sa-at me-la-kan la-in" he said in a mischievous tone.
"Ais, you're so naughty" I said.
"A-ku na-kal pa-da is-tri-ku sen-di-ri" he said.
"But I want this money. May? I'm going to save until I get some more shopping money" I said.
Mahfudz sighed.
"Yes, su-dah. Nan-ti ka-lau i-tu su-dah ha-bis bi-lang. I'm going trans-fer. Ki-rim no-mor re-to-ning you" he said
Mahfudz put the wallet back in his pocket.
"Can't you just cancel the trip?"
I hugged him suddenly. I didn't want to be apart that long with my husband. That's 3 weeks. Another week is even a month. I'll be left that long.
"Yes not bi-sa donk. I ha-rus bi-lang a-pa to pro-fes-sor nan-ti? I-I don't ma-u plan, sa-yang!"
I looked up at her with a parched face without letting go of my embrace.
"I'm a-kan vi-di-o call ka-mu ti-ap ha-ri" he said comforting me.?
"10 times?"my door.
"Haah? I-I don't ma-u jan-ji, Ray. Se-sem-pat that I-I can"
"Ck .." My mouth clucked. I let go of my embrace.
"Yes, 10 ka-li. Ta-pi du-ra-si her ja-ngan ter-la-lu ba-nyak, ka-re-na a-ku no ta-u di-sa-na si-buk a-tau ti-dak. Ka-lau ti-dak si-buk, - I'm a-nel-pon-mu la-ma, ka-lau si-buk, ha-rap your ka-nger-ti, sa-yang"
"Yes, already. Be aware that you lyrics beautiful nurses and patients there. And you also can not do VT on patients who want to give birth, if it is necessary to ask for help from midwives" I said giving an ultimatum.
"I-yeah" he said as he pinched my cheek in a fit of anxiety.
"Yank, can I ask you a question?" I asked Mahfudz who looked busy putting his clothes in his bag.
"Hmmm .... "
"When you used to be with Mama and Nadya, Fuad also came to the house to relax, it felt like you could guess what I was thinking. I say I love you in my heart, you reply in chat I love you too. Can you really read the contents in my heart? That kind of telepathy, yank? Inner bond? When I was kidnapped I was thinking about you and suddenly you came. I am moved .... "
Mahfudz chuckled.
"Yes, no. Te-le-pa-ti a-pa? Ma-sa ka-mu per-ca-ya who be-gi-tu-an anyway?"
"Keep you can tell what I'm thinking from where?"ask me to know.
"Oh, i-tu. A-ku be-la-jar read ex-pre-si wa-jah o-rang lai-n se-jak la-ma. I-tu ban-tu-ku ba-nyak da-lam ko-mu-ni-ka-si"
"Oh, I guess you can tell what's in my heart and mind even though we're far away. It would be romantic if I miss you all of a sudden, 'I miss dear' "I said disappointed.
"Su-dah, yes-ngan ke-ce-wa. Nan-ti a-ku a-kan se-ring ki-ri-m chat to your ka. It's a-ku se-les-ai ro-ta-si di-sa-na. Ki-ta a-kan le-bih se-ring ro-man-tis-ro-man-ti-san" his god.
I pinched her little belly and laughed as she complained of the pain.
\*\*\*\*\*
"Ray, a-I'm ngan-tuk" Mahfudz said in a vidio call.
It has been a week that Mahfudz has been able to serve out of town in a networking hospital.
"Can't sleep yet" I said. "You just called me 8 times today. 2 More times, Fud!" I said spoiled.
"Ha-deeh, yes su-dah a-ku ma-ti-kan du-lu sa-yang ...."
Mahfudz turned off his phone and called me again. My husband is very patient in following my childish play.
"I-i ni su-dah 9 ka-li, Ray. A-ku ma-ti-kan la-gi yes .... " Mahfudz looks yawning. It seems Mahfudz is sleepy.
Again he called me. I lifted. His eyes look watery red.
"Yes, you've been sleeping if so, baby" I said give up.
Though I still want to linger to see it even if only in vidio call only.
"Yes, su-dah. Ka-mu ju-ga ti-dur sa-yang, I love you" he said.
"Love you too" I said.
There is still another week until Mahfudz completes his rotation in the hospital. All that time I held back a heavy longing for him. I even performed my role as a wife well even though there was no Mahfudz. Including in the use of shopping money.
"Ummik, let Raya buy electric tokens and pay for water this month, Mik!" I said.
"Haah? Why?" ask Ummik. Usually Ummik pays."
"Mik, let Raya pay. I want to learn to be a good wife. Including in managing the finances given by the husband to Raya" I said.
I nodded proudly. "Yes, and this money is really the result of his hard work translating journals for his lecturer's thesis material and his friends' journals. Not from the family's swallow nest income."
"A lot to love?"ask Ummik kepo.
"It's only 1.5 million, anyway!"
His mouth was open to hear it.
"Ray, you save the money. Ummik who paid is okay" said Ummik sound concerned to hear the nominal money I took from Mahfudz.
"Ummik, please.... Raya wants to learn to be a wife who can manage the husband's finances" I said. "If you can Raya who will buy kitchen materials and our daily needs" I said.
Ummik looked at me still can't believe how hard I stand until finally he allows.
"Yes, already. It's up to you, Ray"
I was so happy that I hugged Ummik.
"Thank you, Mik"
Another time Eve took me for a walk in the mall on my day off. He knew Mahfudz was out of town.
"Don't you order food, Ray?"eve asked confused me who only ordered a bottle of mineral water.
I'm shaking. I opened the bottle and drank the bottle.
"Are you pregnant, Ray?"
I who was drinking immediately choked to hear Eve's question.
Eve patted me on the shoulder.
"Be careful so drink it" she said.
"Why are you, why is it so?" tanyaku.
"Well, why? Did you get married? It's only natural that I ask you to get pregnant again. You didn't order food. Who knows, you no longer have an appetite for cravings. Can we find another place to eat that suits your taste?"
"I'm just getting close to 3 weeks, Wa! Yes not yet. You are just as Ummik likes that. I don't order food, because I want to cash in on the shopping money Mahfudz gave me." I argue.
"Money shopping?"ask Eve.
I'm nodding. "Hmmm yeah, I took the shopping money from him 1.5 million aja. So I have to be quite-enough until he gets home from the hospital" I said.
"Is he earning that?" ask Eve carefully fearing that I might be offended.
"He's got a swallow nest section to manage himself and his family" he said.
"Wow, nice donk. Swiftlet nest business is a lucrative business. The turnover is great" said Eve.
"But this 1.5 million money is special, he does it himself with the results of his efforts translating journals for his lecturers and friends that way, that's why I want to appreciate how to manage this money so that it is enough until he comes home later, so" I explained.
"Yes already, weigh it doank, until it sniffs all of it. Yes, make secondary shopping you use your money, later if the primary new basic needs use the money Mahfudz. You just don't want to shop. Usually you can not see a bag or sandals shoes that are rather cute just bought. Just now, held a little bit, layainin again. Quickly enough. Apparently Ms. Mahfudz Alzhafran is cutting her husband's money. Hadeh, if drunk on love ya gini" he sneered while laughing.
"Yee... Let it go" I sneered at him.
"Message what you like, Ray! If you want to worry, it is up to you. But you eat first, let me pay!"
"really? What can I order, Miss Boss?" tanyaku.
"Yes, yes face free" ledeknya.
I'm just laughing.
\*\*\*\*\*
After Eve and I ate, we decided to go home. But while passing through the pharmacy downstairs, Eve suddenly pulled me there.
"Sir, is there a sell test pack?" ask Eve suddenly who makes me surprised not kepalang.
"She, Ma'am. What do you want to test pack? What brand?" ask the pharmacy guard while taking some kind of test pack
"What the hell are you?" I'm worried about being embarrassed.
"I'll take this one, Ma'am. How many?" ask Eve to take the money from her wallet.
After paying Eve pulled my hand to the toilet.
"Well, I'm not pregnant. More precisely not pregnant. I just married Mahfudz 3 weekly not nyampe. How do I explain it?" I said frustration.
"Try me first. Think of it as a prized prank. After all, fertilization can occur after 3 or 5 days after intercourse. I'm sure you and Mahfudz have done it a lot before he went outside, right?"goda.
"Sokay know!" shanka.
"Come on!" Eve pushed me into the WC. He gave a small plastic that he asked the pharmacy clerk earlier.
"I suspect you're actually pregnant, Ray. I see you're a little contained now. Your arms, your cheeks are a little fat. You also ate a lot earlier, usually eat a little" he said from outside the WC.
I can't believe I just complied with Eve's request. After I took my urine in the clear plastic that Eve had given me earlier, I came out immediately.
"It!" Eve gave me a strip test pack.
I received that testpack.
"I'm not pregnant, Wa. Yes, I ate a lot of food because I was hungry. Before the same path as you I did not eat" I argued.
"Here, let me go!"
Eve took the test pack back from my hand. He dipped the tip of the strip in the urine I had collected to the prescribed extent. While I'm holding the urine bag.
We waited a minute. Eve lifted the strip.
"Do you see? The line is one, right? It means I'm not pregnant!" I said as I reentered the WC and dumped my urine in that WC.
I threw away the plastic bag and washed my hands with soap in the sink.
"But this is like a line of two, Ray! Only his line is one faint. It doesn't seem obvious." he said while showing it to me.
I noticed a glimpse. "That's just one line, Wa. Don't ngeyel!"
"Two, Ray! Really. It must be positive. Try your test tomorrow morning with your first urine after waking up while your hCG levels are still high, I'm sure it must be positive, Ray!" said Eve sure.
"Hey, Miss Boss! How do I tell you, I'm not pregnant, baby! I know you want us to get pregnant together. Stomach soaring everywhere we go together. But not gini either time, ahh. You're pregnant but you're trying to make me pregnant, too"my email.
Eve stroked her stomach a few times. And then instead of stroking my stomach with the same hand he stroked his stomach.
"Transmisive, contagiousness, contagion, contagiousness .... "
Eve said it as if what she said were spells for me to get pregnant from her.
I laugh.
"Already, Wa! Later if I am really pregnant will also be found out by myself, really! You also do not have to get pregnant now. Here!" I said as I pulled the testpack strip from Eve's hand.
Without thinking about anything I immediately threw the test pack strip into the trash.
