LIEGE

Drafts

The atmosphere of Erina and Ardian's house that morning seemed calm. No sounds of screaming as usual.

"Mboooks!"

"Yes non. A moment."

"Bok, the twins are gone?" ask Erina.

"Already non. He was delivered by Mr. Ali. Oh yes, no, yesterday there was a guest looking for a non Erina."

"Guys looking for me? Who?"

"Mbok forgot his name. That's non, that guy friend who used to come here."

"Who is mbok?" Mbok Siti shook her head. "Yes is mbok. Oh yes, please prepare breakfast for Ardian. Make porridge mbok."

"Den Ardi still nauseous non?"

"Yes mbok. Ask for a durokin."

"Wind due to the dryness of the night bath," ledek mbok Siti. Erina laughed at Siti's words.

"Mbok, when pregnant was never her husband who craved?"

"Never a non. If pregnant, there is no such thing as cravings. Maybe because we are villagers huh, non. So his body is stronger and not spoiled. Especially when the husband was a farmer. Where there's time to crave." Mbok Siti laughing.

"Aren't Ardians craving non?"

"It looks like giti deh, mbok. Waking up vomiting. Yesterday at the office he wanted to eat rujak. But I know that he is not doing Rujak. His attitude was also so spoiled."

"Pity of Ardi. It must not taste very good. God created women to get pregnant. Because only women are able to undergo pregnancy with various cravings."

"Erin should, crave to meet the artist yes mbok." The two laughed at Erina's words.

"Oh yes mbok, please tell bi Imas if for dinner later the menu barbeque. Non Lexi and non Raina are coming."

"His family's not?"

"Yes. Oh yes, later if mommy and daddy have arrived, prepare the lunch."

"Where is Ron Erin going?"

"A short walk in the front garden there. Bored at home."

"What about Den Ardi?"

"He's sleeping. I'm just gonna take a second."

Before long, Erina had already walked down the park that was in their housing. Sunlight plus the cold air this morning feels refreshing. Erina walked while moving her hands.

"Erina!" a voice called. Erina turned towards the voice. Arkam walked up to him.

"Hi Rin, how are you?"

"good. Brother how are you?" Arkam just shrugged his shoulders.

"You alone?" arkam asked while looking to the right and to the left.

"Yes. Is Arkam alone? Oh yeah, how's ummi and abi?"

"That's a lot of questions, Rin." Arkam laughed at Erina's question.

"Long time no see, brother."

"Are you pregnant?" Arkam watched Erina's stomach.

"Yes brother. Second pregnant."

"Have a good time."

"Oh yes, brother, how are you, brother Zafran? Since her marriage to Zulfa, Erin has never met again."

"Have you not heard?"

"Sound what brother?"

"Zafran and Zulfa divorced."

"Oh yeah?! Why divorced? Isn't it in your family that divorce is a taboo?"

"Zafran could never love Zulfa. Especially after many years of marriage, Zulfa did not get pregnant. If ummi sees you pregnant, ummi must regret refusing you to be a daughter-in-law."

Arkam is the cousin of Zafran, Erina's former lover. Since childhood he lived with the Zafran family.

"They have to get divorced. Ummi must be sad."

"Your husband who is Rin?"

"Ardians."

"Ardian is your friend? Not Daffa?" Erina nodded.

"Oh my goodness, the world is so small. In the end you married her. Zafran must be very sad."

"Why is that?"

"Kok I caused them to fight?"

"Because Zafran hasn't forgotten you and Zulfa knows it."

"It wasn't me who left her."

"She was very disappointed when you chose Daffa as your future husband. I don't know what he said if he knew you were married to Ardian. He's so obsessed with you."

"Sister, is Brother Zafran married again?"

"Yet. He's still expecting you."

"Please tell him to forget about me. I belong to someone else. And I love my husband and children."

"May he understand and try to forget you. You know Rin, after her divorce with Zulfa, ummi tried many times to match her with other women. Everything he refused. Even he begged ummi to propose to you."

"That's no way, brother. After all, when she decided to marry Zulfa, I had already thrown her name out of my heart."

"Congratulations Rin for your happiness. Take care of yourself." Arkam left Erina.

All the way home, Erina seemed busy thinking. He did not expect that Zafran and Zulfa would be separated. He did not think he was one of the causes of their separation.

Entering the house, Erina saw Ardian sitting in the front room. In front of him was a glass of warm tea and a glass of milk.

"Asshalaamu'alaykum. "

"Wa'alaykumussalaam's chat. Where are you from?" ask Ardian ferociously.

"Regular, a walk in the park."

"Why not take me?"

"How would I ask you if you were weak again." asked Erina while sitting next to Ardian who immediately hugged and leaned spoiled. "What the hell is that? How come the mornings are spoiled like this?"

"Don't stay with me."

"Who has left you. There are also those of you who might leave me to your young admirers. For example, Nat who is still diligent in your DM-DM."

"I just love you baby. This is proof of my love." Ardian caressed Erina's stomach.

"Have you had breakfast? I asked Siti to make porridge for you."

"You need Aceh's porridge."

"Aceh Porridge?"

"So I called my mom and asked to make Aceh porridge."

"Geez, what time do you want to eat? Make porridge not for a moment, baby. Eat artificial porridge mbok Siti aja yes," persuaded Erina. Ardian. She hugged Erina even more.

"I just want Aceh porridge. Point."

"Geez, who's pregnant me why are you cravings like this."

"Yang, bobo yuk."

"By, we haven't been awake long enough to be bobo again? Your brain must be perverted. You know what Siti said?" Ardian.

"Kata mbok Siti, you catch wind because of the dryness of the morning bath." Erina laughs.

"Rin, you know you're so pretty when you laugh like that. Please, don't laugh like that in front of another man."

"Are you jeaulous?" Ardian nodded. "You know, actually I never regretted taking your chastity first. Even I am very happy because your friendship is only for me. Especially when I hear you're pregnant because of my behavior."

"You're bad."

"You regret marrying me? Are you sorry you broke up with Daffa?"

"I hated you at first, but what you did made me crumble. I began to realize that the right man for me was you. Not Daffa, not Zafran or Gustav. I'm a fool not realizing you're the only one for me. It's worth it that girls are mad at me."

"Yes, they are always angry when I prioritize you. I was also stupid for trying to find a woman who has a different nature to you. It turns out the woman I'm looking for and need is you. We're both stupid."

Erina looked at Ardian's face. She stroked her husband's face and kissed him quickly.

"By, I want to get ready first. You took a shower, right? Can you go to the office today?"

"Want me take a shower?" ardian Goda.

"No need to be weird. You rest at home. Oh, baby, I have word that brother Zafran is parting ways with his wife."

"Then?" Ardian chased after Erina who entered the room. "You want to go back with him?"

"Where is a man who wants to be with a pregnant woman. You're just there."

"You forgot, Daffa wanted to marry you even though he knew you were pregnant with another boy. You don't realize that you have a charm that is very strong and difficult to forget?" ardian shouted from behind the bathroom door.

"But I just love you baby!" answer Erina.

"What?!"

"I just love the cheeks of my children" Erina said from behind a slightly opened door. "So you don't have to worry."
