"Ken?" Zahra called her husband and the tall man shifted his attention from the front of the tab he was holding.
"Why, Honey?" ask Ken in a soft voice.
"There was a missed call from a foreign number" Zahra said, holding out Ken's phone.
Ken did activate silent mode so as not to hear the ringing of his phone.
"That's it, doesn't matter...." Ken went up, he went up to the bed where his wife was lying down.
"Don't ignore if the call is more than three times like that. There may be important news, try calling back" Zahra said.
"I'm sleepy, it's late at night, although in Indonesia it's still 10. I'll call you back tomorrow" Ken said, yawning long.
"Is your job ready?"
Ken nodded and brought Zahra into his arms, ready to close his eyes but Zahra's fingers stroking his chest made him unfocused on drifting into the dream world.
"Darling, don't be like this, yeah." Ken stopped Zahra's finger movements that felt like abstract images on Ken's plain chest.
Zahra giggled amusedly, she never saw Ken angry at her so she wanted to provoke Ken's anger, somehow her pregnancy hormones made her act so ignorant lately.
"Ck! Baby....!" Ken complains that Zahra is making him feel uneasy.
"Why? Wanna get mad?" zahra whispered with a stifled laugh.
"No, but when I'm lost you have to take responsibility, yes!" ken said with closed eyes. Zahra giggled, looking up to look at her husband's face from below.
Suddenly Ken's eyes opened, they stared at each other.
"I love you, Ken." said Zahra with a smile.
Ken stroked the top of his wife's head. " I love you too, dear."
Then Ken kissed his wife's seedlings as the most potent sedative in his life.

Early in the morning, Zahra and Ken were already preparing for a walk. It is currently spring in Japan. Therefore, this country will be filled with sakura trees. Zahra did not want to miss this moment. Ken has promised to take her to Shinjuku Gyoen National Park because they are currently living in Tokyo.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Park is the largest park in Tokyo, there are many fun picnic spots and surrounded by cherry blossom trees.
After the park, they will also visit the Fuji Motosuko Resort, which features views of the famous Mount Fuji. Incidentally, if spring is like this the Fuji Motosuko Resort will hold the Fuji Shibazakura Festival, because the shibazakura flowers (known as pink moss or phlox moss) will pop up to cover the land near the lake, the scenery must have been very beautiful and Zahra couldn't wait to leave immediately.
"Dear ready, not yet?" asked Zahra from the dresser, she was wearing her pashmin there.
"Well, just wait for you."
"okay."
While waiting for his wife to get ready, according to Zahra's advice last night, Ken tried to call the number that he had called several times yesterday to ascertain the intention of the caller because the number contacted Ken up to eight times.
"Who are you calling, Ken?" asked Zahra who was ready, he approached Ken's position standing on the doorstep.
"Yet yesterday's number" Ken answered, calling the number on his personal phone.
"Oh..." Zahra nodded and waited for Ken to finish with it.
Several times, Ken finally connected to the number.
"Call..."
"Yes, who is this?" ken asked frowned because the one who received his call was the voice of a woman.
Zahra looked at Ken as if asking 'who?' but Ken only shrugged because he did not know who the owner of the foreign number was.
"Is this Ken?" The woman across the street asked Ken.
"Who are you?" Ken activates the outside speaker mode so Zahra can also hear the talk, she does not want to cover anything from the wife.
"It... Mama Irene, Ken."
"Ohh, what's wrong?" ask Ken nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry if mom interfered with your time and vacation, Ken. Mama just wants to apologize to you, mama hope you want to forgive mama and also.... Frans," said Irene.
Ken sighed heavily, then he heard Irene say an apology, even though when Frans harassed his wife Irene did not apologize at all, the only one who said sorry was Bagas, his own father who deeply regretted Frans's actions, while Irene? Irene was silent at the time. What else this time? Does Irene want to work on it with new tactics and plans to destroy it?
"Tumben once, why all of a sudden?" ken sarcas.
"Mama's ashamed, Ken. ever since Mama saw Madam Devia looking after Frans and taking care of him in the hospital. Mama so feeling very guilty can not be good to you all this time even though...." Irene hesitated to continue her sentence.
"What's it?"
"When Mama is guilty of a lot of Ma'am Dev, but she can still treat Frans well, while Mama can't do that to you when you have no faults, but she can't, if you were born from the marriage of Mas Bagas and Mbak Devia it is not your fault. I'm sorry, Ken... Mama sincerely said this," cried Irene.
"Here you go, don't act. I've been living a quiet life now, don't push me!" ken said at last.
"Yes, I appreciate your decision. Mama knows it's not easy for you to trust Mama's heartfelt intentions, but she's really apologizing, Ken. If you like, Mama will propose Frans to contact you also from the yard,"
"Hmmm, whatever," replied Ken lazily.
"Oh yes, the day after tomorrow... Frans is marrying Jenar."
"Oh, good about this I'm interested, '" said Ken cynically.
"Yes, forgive Frans also so that he can live a new life better like you are today."
"I'll pray about it, but I'm doing it so Frans won't harass my wife again."
"Whatever it is, thank you for praying Frans."
Ken cut off his call just like that, at least he already knew who the owner of the foreign number was and what his purpose was. However, Ken still could not digest whether Irene's intention to apologize sincerely or not, I don't know.
Zahra patted Ken's shoulder gently. "You should be able to forgive if you want a quieter life." Zahra smiled beautifully.
"Darling..." Ken pinched Zahra's chin with anxiety.
"We're leaving, yuk!" Zahra wanted to hold Ken's hand but Ken did something else that made Zahra look up.
Ken held together his index finger and thumb, which looked stiff in Zahra's eyes.
"What the hell? Request money?" ask Zahra to act stupid.
Ken clucked. "Not baby" he said.
"What is your finger?" Zahra giggled because she could already guess what Ken was doing.
"It... Sarangheo," said Ken with a big smile. Zahra couldn't help but laugh, she laughed loudly.
"Learn where sarangheo - sarangheo-an?" zahra asked still with her laugh.
"That's, look at the drakor you watch a lot, you know!" Ken chuckled too. Then they came out of their residences while in Japan. In Japan, they are more active on foot, so they do it while there, if it is too far up the bus for the transportation.
"But now we're in Japan, not in Korea, honey." Zahra looked up to Ken by his side.
"Yes, too, if that's wrong, Itoshi teru boku no tsuma, Hana...."
"That means?" Zahra laughed softly.
Ken pulled Zahra's hand and put it in the pocket of the sweater she was wearing, holding it in there. "I love my wife, Hana..."

Ken also kissed the other Zahra fingers repeatedly, this activity so that he forgot for a moment about Irene's apology which made him quite angry earlier.
