Look At Me Once

Lathifa Pregnant?

Alwi sat on the main seat with a blank look looking forward. His hand was busy tapping the pen on the table with an irregular rhythm.

His mind was busy wandering out of nowhere. Every now and then, he was seen smiling to himself, ignoring the person in front of him who was presenting their work report.

The shadow of his two wives this morning was still clearly visible in front of his eyes. The beautiful face of two angels that will make every man fall asleep just by looking at him.

My face and fatigue were clearly visible on the beautiful face of his first wife. Next to him, his young wife looked cute with her long, unraveling black hair covering the pillow. The hair that he had always hidden with a long piece of cloth called pashmina. Just this time Alwi saw it, it was so beautiful.

The Koran is repeated 31 times in the Surah of Ar-Rahman ringing in his ears.

Fabi ayyi aalaaa’i Rabbikumaa tukazzibaan.

‘Then which favor of your Lord do you deny, Al? Why did you waste God's created being coming into your life?’ alwi's heartache, but he always brushed the thought.

“What do you think, Mr Al?” ask one of the division heads for a response from his superior.

All eyes were staring in one direction. However, it seemed that their superiors were still busy with their own world.

“Pak!” call Raiyan.

All the eyes in the room were throwing eyes at each other. Just this time they found Alwi was not focused while the meeting was going on.

Several times Raiyan called Alwi to resuscitate him. But in vain, making Raiyan feel furious.

“Alwi!” raiyan shouted right near Alwi's ears.

Everyone was shocked and looked at him with various expressions. How dare the assistant call his boss just by saying his name.

Yoke!

Alwi, who was surprised by his assistant, reflexively hit Raiyan on the head with a pen in his hand.

“What?” tanya Alwi glared towards Raiyan.

“Focus,” Raiyan said without a sound. He pointed at the people in front of Alwi with the tail of his eyes. His hands were busy rubbing his painful head.

“Ekhem.” Alwi cleared his mind. “Until where was it?”

Everyone refocused on the main topic, the meeting went well again.

At the same time, Alwi drives his car into the campus gate, he wants to pick up Anisa because his wife does not bring a car.

Alwi stepped into the lobby of the campus and sat in one of the waiting chairs available there. Waiting for Anisa's arrival.

10 Minutes later, Anisa came to Alwi. Anisa kisses her husband's hand reciprocated with a brief kiss on his forehead from the husband.

Then they walked out of the campus lobby in friendly arms to their cars.

Unwittingly, there was a woman figure who saw the romance of the couple from a distant direction with a devilish smile on her face.

‘It turns out his wife is Miss Princess, it will be easy for me to make you turn to me.’ Say that woman in the heart.

...*****...

At home, Lathifa who already felt her body was healthier decided to help mbok Ijah cook dinner.

Today he has no classes, so he spends all day at home. Anisa did not allow him to go to the restaurant.

As Lathifa was serving her dishes on the dining table, she heard the voice of Anisa and her husband greeting her from outside the house.

“Wa’alaikummussalam,” replied Lathifa and mbok Ijah together.

“Mbak Nisa bring what?” asked Lathifa who saw Anisa entering the kitchen with a bag of scrapes in her hand.

“Yesterday you said you wanted to eat durian, Fa. This is I bought special for you.” Anisa placed the durian on the dining table.

“Wah! Looks good Ma'am. I can't wait to taste it,” said Lathifa with a glowing face.

“You're tasting now?” anisa asked smilingly looking at the twinkle in Lathifa's eyes.

Lathifa nodded her head enthusiastically, for a long time she did not feel the sweetness of one of her favorite fruits.

The distinctive smell of the fruit king suddenly filled the room when Anisa managed to split it.

Lathifa closed her mouth with both hands and ran to the bathroom near the kitchen.

Hueks. Hueks.

Lathifa felt nausea and her core-stirred stomach. He crouched down in front of the closed trying to pull out his entrails but nothing came out, only a thick liquid that made his throat bitter.

Anisa who had just caught up, rushed over and massaged the nape of her honey.

“You're fine, Fa?” ask Anisa worried.

“I'm fine, Ma'am. Don't know why after smelling the smell of durian up close suddenly my stomach feels nauseous.”

Anisa kept watching Lathifa who was standing in front of the sink was cleaning her mouth. A smile rose up on Anisa's face.

“Fa!” call Anisa with sparkling eyes.

“Hmm. What's up, Ma'am?”

“Wait here for a minute!”

Anisa ran towards her room, leaving Lathifa looking confused.

“What is this, Ma'am?” Lathifa researched the flat object that felt foreign in her hand.

“Try first, Fa!” urged Anisa.

“But, Mbak-”

“Do not worry, there are instructions for use, you just follow the steps, I wait outside.”

Anisa waited in front of the bathroom door with anxious expectation.

“How was the result?” anisa asked enthusiastically after Lathifa came out of the bathroom.

Instantly, Anisa's face turned gloomy when she saw a red line emerging from the object. Lathifa who saw him felt guilty and unwell.

“Mbak-”

“It's okay, Fa. Next time we try again yes.”

Lathifa looked at the back of Anisa who was walking towards the dining table, she felt more and more guilty towards Anisa.

At the dining table Alwi furrowed his brows finding Anisa moody like never before.

“You why, Darling.”

“It's okay, Mas.”

Alwi stared fixedly at Anisa, of course he did not believe it. He had even memorized outside in the nature of his first wife.

“Iya.” Anisa resigned, could not lie to her husband let alone get such a gaze. “Lathifa is not pregnant yet, Mas. It's been five months you've been married.”

“Darling, you don't be sad. Perhaps God has not entrusted the child to be entrusted to us.”

Alwi rubbed the back of Anisa's hand that was on the table. Lathifa cuek with the conversation of a husband and wife in front of him and pretend to focus on his food.

“Later mas will strive more so that Allah will immediately grant your wish.” Alwi tried to calm his first wife.

“Lathifa.” Alwi turned to face his young wife.

“Hmm,” replied Lathifa still looking down busy with her food.

“You're really not pregnant?”

Uhuk. Uhuk.

Instantly Lathifa choked and stared nyalang towards her husband who was either pretending to be stupid or what.

‘Basic master Fridge crazy!’ lathifa in the heart.

...*****...

A month passed, Echa increasingly looking for a gap to get close to Alwi. He always participated in every meeting of his father's company with the company Alwi.

Actually Alwi and Raiyan feel uncomfortable with the presence of the daughter of his client. However, they must behave professionally.

Mr. Sanjaya said that his daughter helped him replace his secretary duties during his maternity leave.

That afternoon, Alwi attended a meeting with Sanjaya Group without Raiyan, as his assistant was on duty outside the city.

Alwi was forced to accept Mr. Sanjaya's invitation to have lunch together, because Mr. Sanjaya slightly forced him.

“I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a while, Mr. Al.” Mr. Sanjaya said goodbye and left Alwi alone with his daughter.

Actually not really alone, they are in the restaurant and many people around them. However, for Alwi still this was not justified by him.

“Master, what kind of dream woman, you?” ask Echa with the sound made as bright as possible.

“Master, are you not interested in me?” Echa who saw Alwi was indifferent to him, further fanning Alwi with various questions.

Alwi feels angry with Echa's treatment, but he feels disrespectful if he has to go without saying goodbye to Mr. Sanjaya.

“Master, if master is with me, I can give a lot of children to you. Don't you want a child?”

Alwi squinted his eyes, feeling the talk of the woman in front of him was too intrusive for his privacy.

Echa is getting excited to convince Alwi. “ I can satisfy you.”

“Sorry. Can you shut up and don't talk anymore.” Alwi tried to restrain his emotions.

“Am I not attractive in the eyes, you?”  Echa ignored Alwi's warning.

“Is not your wife looking for a wife for you?” Echa holding the back of Alwi's hand made Alwi surprised and immediately brushed him off.

“I want to be your second wife, be the mother of your child that your wife will not be able to do.”

Brak!

Alwi kicked the table loudly, he no longer cared about manners. No matter the looks of the people around him.

“Sorry, our meeting got here, I'm sorry. Remember that! I will not forget your insolent attitude. And never repeat your actions to me or any other man! Appreciate yourself before others judge you low, your words are your quality.”

Alwi passed with a face holding in anger leaving Echa sitting with her calm face.

‘OK. Now you can say that. Just look later I will make you worship my love.’ Echa swore in her heart and smiled grinningly.
