Love Above the Covenant

Voluntary statement

A week later.

"Mas, did Mas Radit realize that our household was lacking?" said Andhini while still sleeping on Raditya's lap.

Radit glanced down at his wife who had been sleeping on both of his thighs since they had rested while watching TV, then ignored him.

Radit tried to understand the meaning of his wife's words even though he knew where it was going, but Radit seemed not to want to discuss it at this time.

Radit rubbed Andhini's head and stroked his hands with hair as if he had not heard his wife's words.

Next to his hand looking at his cell phone, tired of wanting to rest his body and brain after a long day of work with the weather in summer Australia made his energy so drained.

"Mas! with Denger, didn't I say?"

"Yes, what was that? Masya Allah Darling very much in the import export office when I take the goods sent by Mr. Budi earlier." Radit tried to divert the conversation to shift the topic of the problem which eventually inevitably in that direction.

"Mas, we have wanted seven months here, Alhamdulillah business has been running even now we are overwhelmed to accept orders of our goods that are always sold, the business is getting smelled especially all the Indonesian people in this Melbourne city, but why has there been no results for our initial goals?" ask Andhini directly to the point.

"Just patient, what else? do not be half-hearted if the intention of patience must totally live everything and express our hearts."

"But I can't wait."

"Well, you want what are you like?"

"Try to find another solution. It's good for us to give me one piece of peace living it all."

"Andhini darling, I have not found any solution but to be patient in heart with sincerity in living it," raditya replied so full of feelings and careful with his words very guarding every opinion to not offend his wife.

"Why aren't you looking? I want a change in our household" Andhini said, looking more serious.

"Andhini, now that we're at work, check back and forth to the hospital is that not our business?"

"I want another attempt."

"Whatchu mean? adopting children? or another baby tube program here?" radit asked while looking at Andini's pretty face on her lap.

Andhini got up and sat down and held Raditya's hands so astonished what else with Andhini's wife?

"I want a child in our household, a child from my womb or a child of Mas Radit even if not from Me."

"What does that mean?" radit asked so strange and astonished to hear Andhini's statement at this time.

"I'll let Mas Radit get married again."

"Marry Mas siri, I'll find a woman who will be suitable as Mas Radit's wife, I want to take care of him even though Mas Radit's son with other women," andhini said so clearly heard in Raditya's ears.

"Andhini, why do you punish me like that? You're harassing me with someone I don't know? where's your love for me all this time?" Radit seems a bit emotional.

"Bu-bu-kan I mean like that Mas," replied Andhini so nervous and increasingly holding tightly to her husband's hand.

"Then what do you want? let me betray our love? betraying our marriage? what did our parents say? what I get later is the predicate of a man who is not responsible just for not having children so freely doing things for the sake of desire, in their eyes it's I'm gonna hurt you baby, no! I turned it down this time" Radit said with a tense face.

"Mas, I'm willing I'm sincere. That's precisely for the sake of the happiness of our family, our extended family if indeed I can't give Mas a descendant what will happen?"

"Don't exceed the Almighty in Andhini's speech, if indeed we are destined not to have our offspring adopt children, that's one solution."

"However there is something that can be done better, Mas Radit can have offspring as legitimate children from marriage, that's what I mean Mas."

"Then what will you be like Andhini? never mind. Enough I love you and you love me that's all we've got in this household, I've been happy to have you, that child is not a problem for me descendants until our generation does not matter if that is what has been outlined."

"Mas, please understand me. I'm talking all right about it because I love you too Mas, We don't want to lose each other, believe me maybe this is the path we have to choose."

"Andhini, help me. Don't be forced to do something like that, I wouldn't have the heart not be able to live it not have the guts for that I don't have the courage for it let alone to marry again actually hurt your heart also I won't be able to."

"Mas, but I want a strong child from Mas's own lineage, why do I feel capable of being Mas Radit as a man why is there no ability for it?"

"It is not a matter of ability or not Andhini, it's a matter of feeling and a moral burden in the eyes of our family what they say we moved to Australia just to hide one second lie of my marriage in the eyes of our parents?"

"Mas, fulfill only one request this time."

"Astagfirullah Andhini, are you forcing your husband to accept honey? what kind of wife are you? most women around the world refuse not to want their husbands to share with others, but you sound so weird that you're allowing your husband to remarry?" spray Radit with a slightly loud sound.

"For one reason happiness and the reason I can't afford to give you offspring why am I not sincere? I would have had honey even pay for a wife that Mas wants to marry and carry a child mas."

"Andhini, everything is not as easy as you say. In living it will not be as smooth as our expectations, whose names share not necessarily I can be fair, all will only be the subject of quarrels between us."

"For me no, tell me that Mas can, I will pay whatever woman Mas wants to marry in series for 6 months, if we don't get pregnant for 6 months I'll give up my life and our household without children and we just have love." With tears Andhini spoke in front of her husband.

The dilemma for Raditya life is like being tossed around in uncertainty even though he and Andini have agreed that the absence of children in their household is not the fault of one of them as a husband or wife, but it is something that must be accepted as destiny.

Andhini's desire this time was so unexpected not a little Raditya thought that Andhini was so willing in honey also to want something that was not thought of by him at all before.
