Last Mate

14. Fragile

In accordance with the schedule that has been set, today Akhtar and Beno will return after completing their terms outside the city. Beno returns with his wife on a morning flight, while Akhtar returns on a midday flight. Akhtar deliberately chose a daytime flight, because he wanted to take Arumi around first before actually returning.

Arumi had been seen neatly in her casual clothes and immediately approached her husband who was waiting in the hotel lobby. It didn't take long for Arumi to get to the lobby. From a distance he saw his beloved husband sitting while playing a cell phone, Arumi rushed to him.

"Sorry, Mas. It has made you wait a long time." said Arumi when he was in front of Akhtar.

Akhtar smiled then moved from his seat. "No, let's go now." take Akhtar while holding Arumi's hand.

"Where are we going?"

"Later to know."

"Street? Don't bring a car?"

"Yes. Just take it, so don't use the car."

Not much to ask anymore, Arumi just according to be taken anywhere by her husband. They did not walk enough that 50 meters had reached their destination.

Akhtar took him to the beach in front of the hotel where they were staying. There are very crowded, many traders sell along the road. Because it is still morning, there are some people who are jogging around the beach. There is also fun gymnastics and salsa, can be seen there.

Even though it is close to the highway, the beach air feels very cool. It might be early in the morning, I don't know if it's noon. There is also a mosque built on the surface of the sea. Real beautiful.

"Cock rame here, the feeling yesterday morning is not gini." asked Arumi.

"Yes, it's not every day. We can only meet on Sunday."

"Owh, I deserve it. Trus those who sell on the road is not a problem?"

"No. Especially Sunday morning until the appointed time, they can freely roll out their merchandise there."

"Owh like that. Emm, I photographed dong in that floating mosque."

"Picture together dong, when you're alone."

"Eh, if the photos are both not seen later the mosque."

"Well, let's ask people to take pictures of us."

"No ah, even ngerepotin dong."

"Excuse me, could you please take a picture of us both?"

Suddenly Akhtar casually stopped someone who was busy jogging, to photograph the two of them. And fortunately the man wanted to be asked for help, if not Akhtar.

Akhtar perpose with Arumi hugging beside him with the background of the floating mosque behind him. They perpetuate themselves not just one pose, but with several poses. Arumi does not know if it turns out that her husband is also valuing the photos. They thanked the man after finishing the photograph.

"What's satisfied now?" akhtar asked when he saw his wife smiling to herself while looking at their photos.

"Hehe, I'm very satisfied. We bought some souvenirs by yuk, Mas."

"OKAY. You choose, I'll pay."

Having received approval from her husband, Arumi immediately chose some of the items she wanted. It turned out that it was all cheap and it was all handmade. There are a lot of hands that look good there.

"When it's over, we go back to the hotel. Be sorted because 12 o'clock our plane's leaving."

"Yes, wait a minute. I'm gonna buy some snacks for the house."

Arumi also bought so many snacks that Akhtar was amazed. Can he spend it all? Thought Akhtar.

After getting what they wanted, they went back to the hotel and packed up. Because the distance from the hotel to the airport requires an hour of travel, they must leave early so as not to miss the plane.

***

With almost two hours to go, the plane that Akhtar and Arumi were on landed perfectly. They got out of the airport and went home.

When Akhtar's car was driven in front of the house, Ririn who was a domestic assistant there immediately welcomed his two employers. Ririn carried all the items Akhtar had dropped from the car into the house. While Arumi because of tiredness he fell asleep.

Carefully, Akhtar carried his wife and entered the house. "Rin. prepare food for Arumi, if he wakes up later let him eat immediately because from then he has not eaten" said Akhtar before entering his room.

"Yes, sir." Ririn immediately took the orders of her master.

Arumi is really tired. However, Akhtar carried him to sleep in bed, he was not disturbed at all. Akhtar also immediately rested beside Arumi, of course after he cleaned his body that felt sticky.

By late afternoon, Arumi had just woken up from her sleep. "When I came into the house, I was suddenly in the room. As I remember falling asleep in the car deh." Arumi who found herself already in the room.

She went to the bathroom without waking her husband, because she knew Akhtar must be very tired. After finishing the bath and changing clothes, Arumi went to the kitchen.

"Mbak Arumi, you're awake" said Ririn when she reached Arumi in the kitchen.

"Yes. Laper here, Rin. Have you cooked?"

"It's been but it looks like it's cold, ma'am. I'll heat up for a second."

"No, just let it go. I'm so tired."

Arumi immediately took the plate and filled it with rice as well as side dishes that Ririn had prepared on the dining table. "It's a good thing you've cooked, otherwise I might faint" Arumi said before putting a mouthful into her mouth.

"So the father who asked to prepare, in case that Mbak Arumi hungry because he said he had not eaten earlier."

Arumi sipped her drink. "Hehe. Understanding husband, Mas Akhtar."

Arumi continued eating until she finished. Arumi also asks Ririn to eat with him, certainly at one table as well. For Arumi there is no difference between master and servant because both are the same creature created by God. There's no caste class or anything that makes it complicated. Hehe.

"Oh yeah, the luggage you love went inside, right?" ask Arumi.

"Yes, I've kept everything in the living room."

"OKAY. Later you look, there is a snack that I bought. You can eat that and keep the rest in the fridge."

"Yes, thank you, Ms. Arumi."

"Hehe, yes together. Yes, I want to wake up Mas Akhtar first already want magrib problem."

Arumi returns to her room and intends to wake Akhtar up, but when she enters she does not find her husband in bed.

"Maybe take a shower." murmured Arumi. Then he chose to make his bed a mess. He also took care of the clothes that were passed.

Ting. A sign of a message coming in on Arumi's phone. Immediately Arumi stood up to pick up his phone on the nightstand and checked it. It was from his mother who told him that he would come to visit their new home. Arumi's heart also became happy flowers and certainly can not wait for the arrival of his mother.

While Arumi was still focusing on her phone, a hand suddenly coiled around her waist from behind. "Look what the hell with those smiles." Her fresh and cold breath hit Arumi's shoulder.

"This is Mom saying she wants to come here to see our new home. I was so excited to wait for it. Hehe."

"Oh. Want to pick up?"

"No, he said tell him to give me his address, and then mom will come alone."

"Oh, this is why the hell, amused to know." Arumi felt an uproar as Akhtar swiped his face at the cheque of his neck.

"I can't stand it"

"No, what the hell can you stand? I shouldn't stand it because of my care."

"I can't stand to eat you."
