Long River

Fevers

"Th-this who?" Ask Aska confused to see Runi. His voice began to fade.

Leka did not answer. He immediately took his handbag and immediately came out. Already earlier he wanted to take his son to the doctor but delayed busyness and Runi was the same. The little girl seemed to know the busyness of her mother to hold back the curiosity embraced by Leka until the commotion occurred. That is the height of their patience. Runi cries to relieve his discomfort and Leka no longer cares what happens around him. His mind was only one, taking Runi to the doctor.

"Where are you going?" Aska followed his wife out, but not a word came out of Leka's mouth. He grabbed Leka's arm. "I asked, where are you going?" He spoke more slowly.

A temple suddenly appeared between them. "Hey, don't force the lady dong."

Aska pushed the man. "I warned you, didn't I? Don't disturb our household anymore, okay?" He pointed at the man with his finger holding back his anger.

Aska then looked at his wife. "Leka, let me take you. Let your husband drop off, okay?" He tried to talk softly to his wife.

Leka had no choice. He wanted to ride in public transport, but no one was passing by and the taxi driver at the base was empty. He eventually followed Aska's request because he mentioned the word 'your husband' to Leka. Actually he almost cried moved but tried to stop it.

Aska took his wife to the car, sat in front and immediately he got in his car. Along the way he wanted to ask about Runi but seeing Leka who was anxious, he held back, until he reached the clinic. They took him to the ER and were dealt with immediately. Runi was immediately given medicine. Aska takes care of all of his administration.

"So far it's not heavy, Mom, hopefully just a normal fever."

"Ah, yes. Thank you." Thank you."

The doctor prescribed the medicine and handed it to Leka. They wait for the drugs at the pharmacy. In that quiet place, there was no one else but them.

"This kid is my son, right?" From the bow Aska glanced at Leka.

The woman did not answer. He just carried the very comfortable Runi in his mother's arms.

"Can't I know?"

"Is that important?"

Aska lost her voice. He changed the subject. "Are you hungry?"

Leka doesn't care.

Aska touched his wife's arm. "My company eats huh?" Pintanya.

"Mrs. Irfan."

"Oh, that's the cure." Aska stands. "Let me take care of that." He takes the medicine and takes Leka to the car. Along the way the man said nothing and focused on driving to where Leka lived.

"Oh, where's Mom going?" Nizam who was dressed in a white-gray school stood up to greet Leka. He noticed the woman coming followed by a man beside him.

"Oh, Runi fever. You're home soon?"

"Eh, yes, ma'am." Nizam was not happy because the woman in front of him had a guest. "Excuse me."

"Eh Nizam, do you want to eat?"

"No, ma'am, thank you."

"Thank you, Nizam."

Nizam then left and went back to his house.

The sleeping buni was laid back on his thin mattress. While Leka was out, Aska sat down to accompany the little girl beside her.

Leka looked inside the house to see Aska from the open door. Now what do I do with him?

Before long Leka entered again while bringing a plate of rice and chicken and tempe tofu. Aska who was waiting for Runi while bowing her head, immediately glanced at the food Leka brought. His eyes speak, he likes.

The woman had also brought her plate, but she had not had time to eat, a buyer had come to call her. He had to serve the buyer. Since it was lunchtime, other buyers started arriving. The woman ended up serving the buyer while briefly into giving Aska a glass of sweet iced tea.

"Thank you" said Aska happily.

Leka only took a quick glance at it then continued to serve the buyers. Once Aska came to the Leka sales place in front, but only to add chili to the plate. Many noticed Aska but the man did not care.

"His husband's father?"

"Yes, why?" Answer Aska ketus.

"Eh, that's okay" said a disappointed man.

Aska went back into the house and continued eating. When he finished, he washed his own dishes. Back he accompanied Runi who was still asleep.

He noticed the little girl. His face is funny. The hijab was removed while sleeping. His slightly stocky body with its slightly reddish chubby cheeks made him like a sleeping little angel. Aska touched her tiny hand, she could hardly believe she had a child with Leka when she was busy thinking about her guilt.

It's been two years. Yes, it has been two years since she spent thinking about it, while this girl has been born into the world. He did not realize that two years had passed.

Aska tried to wipe the forehead of the sleeping Runi. The hair on his forehead that was soaked in sweat, started to dry up. The fever seems to have gone down.

Leka went into the house. She saw her husband rubbing his son's hair.

Runny. What should I do for Runi?Leka sat down and started eating.

"What's his name, Runi?" Aska glanced at his wife.

"Yes, Runi. Arunika Rasmins."

"Why use your name, he's ...."

Aska. "I'm sorry I was rude to you." He lowered. Aska began to realize, he was emotional why? He does not love Leka.

Leka just continued eating without reacting to anything.

"I can't offer you anything, but if you want to come live with me, please."

Leka stopped eating. What kind of man am I marrying? O Allah, there is not the slightest intention to correct what has gone wrong.

"Mr ...."

"Yes." Yeah." Leka stood up immediately. He washed his hands and immediately served the buyer. The others followed. Leka's trading as usual was running out prematurely. He brought empty containers into the house. She saw her husband sleeping next to his daughter.

Am I just giving up? Demi Runi so she has a father. This guy seems to love his son. And I also ordered the same thing.

Leka started washing the containers. He cleaned his trading place.

"It's over, Mom. More ...." The woman arrived late. He sees Aska sleeping with Runi, his son. "Eh, I've met her husband Mom. Alhamdulillahot. Go back, Mom." He patted Leka on the shoulder, then left.

Leka saw his trading yard. Two days later she found her husband. Alhamdulillahot. He should be grateful. I don't know what will happen with her marriage, God willing, hopefully nothing bad happens. He married because of God. Worship intention.

------------+++---------

Aska woke up from the cries of Runi. The little girl was shocked to wake up and see Aska.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry." Aska began to realize what was happening. He slept in Leka's contract. He saw Leka was already sitting with a large bag beside her. The woman immediately took Runi and carried her.

Aska tried to recall what happened. Oh, he offered Leka to stay with him. "Eh, so you decided to come with me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Oh, okay." Aska looked excited and riled up but she tepis tasa it. "Moreover what to bring?"

"My land is just this." Leka patted the big bag beside her. She put her son in a little headscarf covering his shoulder hair.

"OK." Aska stands. He went to the kitchen to wash his face after which he took Leka's big bag. No matter how long she had been asleep, the woman had quickly tidied the room clean again.

They came out and Leka locked the door. The woman then handed the key to the owner of the house next door who happened to be waiting on the porch.

"Well, both," said the landlord with a smile.

"Thank you, sir."

"Yes, yeah. It's okay."

Aska nodded her head at the father who was taken behind the father in a friendly manner.

They'll get in the car immediately. Along the way Runi sees Aska with a strange look. Every time Aska glanced at him, the girl immediately hugged her mother. Aska smiled looking at the cute behavior of Runi.

The car gets to the parking lot of an apartment building. Leka saw him confused. "You're at the office?"

"Oh, no. I live in an apartment here."

"Apartment?" It feels like I've seen an apartment building on tv but did not expect to live there later.

He followed Aska into the apartment building and waited for the elevator. Just look at the elevator Leka amazed. It means that there are beautiful buildings in the city of Jakarta.

When the elevator doors opened, three people came out. They immediately entered and climbed to the top. He was also surprised to see Aska open the door with a card, as well as the door to his apartment with a code number pressed on a box. The door then opened and he saw a very large and luxurious apartment even in a minimalist style.

"Is-this your house?"

"Yes, come on." Aska climbed to the second floor by passing the stairs and Leka was still tailing. Then they went into the first room they met. A large room with a glass door. The bed is big and the closet is also.

"This is our room." Aska put Leka's big bag on the floor.

"What's? Our room?" Leka glanced at Aska who looked ordinary. White shirts and gray pants, the appearance of ordinary office people until Leka did not think he was the son of a rich man.

Aska glanced at Runi, and raised both of her hands. "You Om fat," he asked softly.

"Omm?" Leka immediately pulled Runi away. "You're the father!"

"Mh, there's a situation you should know about."

"What?"

"You're sitting here first, aren't you?" Aska sat Leka on the edge of the bed. "I'm still playing games about our marriage. I've been thinking about that for 2 years. Did you think about that too? We married without love and suddenly."

"So you mean how, I don't understand."

"I'm also like you, I have no parents and was adopted by the man who married my mother. So until now I haven't talked about this with them."

"Then?"

"I want us to fix this. Our marriage. How about we try to stay a month together. After that we can decide to continue or separate properly."

"Then why should Runi call you Om?"
