Episode 34# Alea's Story

"Mbak Nur, this is Ma'am Nur's salary this month!" said Alea handed over the envelope with money to ART who had been working for Alea for two years.

"Thank you, Miss Alea!" replied Nur, a 40-year-old widow, who was a neighbor of one of Ardhan's housing. He'll only come at six in the morning and come home at six in the evening.

"Yes, Ma'am" Alea replied again accompanying Andra playing train in the living room.

"Father!" yelled Andra as she saw Ardhan's motor stop in front of the fence. "Yeah! yeay!" cheers Andra saw San Papa coming home.

He immediately ran out to greet Ardhan. Alea continued to follow Andra's movements which were indeed very active. So that the terrace of their house was given a high fence and always in the key. Alea opened the fence padlock, so that her husband and motor could enter.

"Assynogaal?" greet Ardhan.

"Wa'allaikum hail!" alea answered welcoming the husband's hand and kissing him.

"Sayam's wife!" answer Andra who is still lispy.

"Papa's son has a bath?" greet Ardhan to Andra, after he took off his jacket and shoes.

"Udah!"

"Eat already?" Ardhan raised the small body carrying it on his left arm.

"Udah!"

"Great boy!" puji Ardhan kissed the chubby cheek, while bringing it into the house.

Alea also entered after locking the fence back. Then hang up her husband's jacket. She quickly made coffee for her husband.

About cooking cooking has indeed been taken over by ART. But about the coffee, always Alea's own hands that make it for the husband.

"Pa, the coffee" Alea told Ardhan who was still accompanying Andra to play.

"Yes, Ma!" reply Ardhan. "I'm gonna take a shower first. Sultry!"

"Father! main duyu" said Andra who did not want to stay in Ardhan shower.

"Iamuang.. Papa take a shower? later if Papa has taken a shower we play again."

"No, play duyu"

"Papa smells, kiss me!" Ardhan brought his clothes closer. "You oil, the smell of car fumes!"

"No papa! just min duyu!"

"Andra Papa's son is great, Papa will smell dry, and Andra will smell fragrant, if Papa play with Ardhan will smell dry Papa nempel in Andra's clothes. Andra is stinking! so Papa took a shower?"

"Yes!" answered Andra a fond expression but it was really very adorable.

"Smart kid! Andra played with Mama first huh? cups!" Ardhan kissed Andra's cheek before leaving Andra to take a bath.

Ardhan went to the bath after receiving a towel thread from Alea.

"Andra played with Mama first huh?"

"Yes"

At nine o'clock in the night, Alea put Andra to bed in the room. Alea came out of her room after making sure Andra was really asleep. Approaching Ardhan who is still focused in front of the laptop in the living room.

"No, Ma! stay away! little again. I have to speed. Next week Papa will have to move to the headquarters. Papa doesn't want my job with Danang mangkrak! Cassian she's gonna be."

"Oh!" Alea sat down beside Ardhan while watching Ardhan's fingers that looked extremely agile on top of his working laptop keyboard.

A few moments later Ardhan turned to Alea, then smiled.

"Why is that so see her?"

"Hehe! Alea had no idea she was going to have a super busy husband! especially if you become a manager at the headquarters! must be getting busy!" said Alea then he pursed his lips.

"I'm busy whatever it is I'll try to be busy at home. Although I'm busy in front of the laptop, but next to you!" reply Ardhan. "Just imagine those who work until they have to leave the island, and only come home once a few months. Even once a year!"

"Yes, hell! Alea also did not want to have a husband who works so far. Will miss you, no one is waiting for you to come home!"

"Nobody is flirting with you!" sahut Ardhan's.

"Heheh! aye!" Alea chuckles. "The most feared when the husband works away is just one, Pa!" said Alea.

"What?" Ardhan stopped his activity by turning off his laptop, and focused on talking to his wife.

"Cheating!" reply Alea. "We can't possibly fully believe the LDR husband's months-long remarks!"

"In fact, even though Papa is busy, Papa will always try to be busy at home! so Mama also saw what Papa was doing."

"Yes, Alea is grateful to have a husband like you Pa! as if someone really loves Alea! really Alea never felt as much affection as Papa loved Alea."

"Eitz! father and Mother's love you're also a big darling. Never forget it!"

"Yes, Pa! Alea loved them too. Even though they treated Alea differently to Alea's sisters." Alea replied wistfully. "But Papa's affection for Alea over the years has been heartfelt. Unlike the Mother who sometimes loved Alea, if Alea had money only. When I was in school, I was angry almost every day. Always discuss the expensive Alea school. Alea was in the suburbs. Unlike my sisters who go to school at my favorite school!"

"Alright, Ma! maybe at that time, Mom and Dad didn't have any money!" Ardhan rubbed the shoulders of his wife who reminisced about the bitterness of childhood.

"Papa know? Alea is often jealous of Alea's friends, Pa! From a small Alea did not have toys made by the factory like friends. All Alea's toys are broken plates, broken spoons, or leftovers." Alea reminisced about her childhood.

Ardhan rested his head on the back of the sofa. Exhaling his coarse breath while staring at Alea's sad face. Remembering his childhood. Because her childhood was so happy.

Whatever he asks is sure to follow. He had a lot of toys, because both his parents were very pampering him.

Especially when his parents live, the Ardhan family is a distinguished family. You could say the richest in the village. Although all must change 180° after the departure of both parents.

While hearing his wife's story like that, it felt like Ardhan wanted to turn the clock around. And will share his toys with the innocent little Alea.

"Even Alea's clothes were all Alea's cousin's. If even Eid, Alea is very rarely bought new clothes. Alea will buy if there is a brother who gives you Eid! So buy it out. Ahaha!" Alea chuckled discordingly in light of her childhood which may have been rare in children her age.

Although Alea laughed, not with Ardhan. Her little heart was smelled to hear Alea's story.

"Even Alea's bike was wearing a former cousin. Until Alea High School, when all the school children take a motorcycle, Alea rides a bike alone. And there were only two bikes in the parking lot at the time. Hye! I'm embarrassed, but how else! than Alea doesn't school."

Ardhan is still a loyal listener to his wife. Ardhan also recalled his school days. Where when he just entered Junior High, the Papa had bought him a new motorbike, even though no children in his village were bought a new motorbike once he entered Junior High School.

"But now Alea was feeling lucky! had a husband who always obeyed what Alea wanted. Alea wants to buy this it's always allowed. Thank you, my husband" Alea said smilingly looking at the face of her husband who only returned with a faint smile. Because she dissolved in Alea's grief in childhood.
