Mother's Choice Husband

Mother's Choice 5

Huft. I got back up. Get out of the room to get a drink. Anto Masik fun playing with his mobile phone.

I don't give a shit. Right now I just want to be alone.

But what does anto do with the phone? It was as if his life could not be separated from his cell phone.

Anto is a person who can not leave his cell phone for a moment. As long as we're at home, I've never seen Anto pray.

Duh wrestling! What kind of person is my soul mate?

Tonight is the last night of the event tahlilan mother's death. Thank God everything went well. I want to thank my neighbors for helping me from start to finish.

After the neighbors came home, me and Wak Sani were still sitting alone in the house.

" What's your next plan, Nai?" Ask wak Sani while staring at the twinkling stars in the sky.

I'm speechless. Looking at my uwak's face is the best in our lives. If abah like wak Sani of course our life is happy, unfortunately not.

"Tell!" Call again.

" Did you remember your mom again?" Ask uwak while rubbing my shoulder.

Since my mother left I have no passion for life. Everything is colorless.

And now I believe that mother is like the light in life, she is like the sun that gives warmth in life. Without a mother our life becomes unguided.

" Well, Nai doesn't know what to do." My answer.

" Nai, if you are not married maybe you can live with uwak. Uwak also does not understand why your mother can match you with a man who..!" Wak Sani did not continue his conversation.

" Bismillah aja wak, hopefully mate choice mother is the best for Naima." Smiling words.

I hesitated to live with him. It's just that I don't want to make Sani worry.

I didn't know him yet, but after a few days of living in my house I felt like I could read his habits. But I don't know. Wallahu nature.

After a few days of marriage, somehow I have no interest in just chatting with him. Unlike Bram, my boyfriend who never came back.

I like to argue with him. I also like to talk to him. I like to listen to his voice when I look at the Adhan and pray in the mosque. Because of poverty, we have to be separated. Mas, I miss! My heart's screams are heartbreaking.

When we were stirred with our thoughts, Anto came to join us. Suddenly, Sani went home.

How strange! It's just me and Anto.

He pulled out his phone and was engrossed in his world. It doesn't matter to me, because he and I don't have a topic.

The night began to fall. I got up and went into the house, followed by Anto.

As usual I prepared a pillow, the blanket also burned the mosquito repellent. After that I want to rest in my room. But it stopped because Anto called me.

" Nai!" Call her.

I looked, not answering. Then turn towards him.

" Mom's tahlilan show is over. Do you want to come home with me?" Ask carefully.

" yes. I'm packing tomorrow morning." My answer is concisely solid and clear. Also without a stale base.

" Okay, go to sleep!" He said while playing his phone again.

I nodded and walked into the room.

I started laying in my thin bed. Tomorrow I'll leave home a million memories.

Bitter and sweet memories are in this reot.

Either because it is too weak, so drowsiness so quickly attacked.

****************

The next morning I started packing. Put some clothes that are still worth wearing. Don't forget I brought a few pairs of mother's clothes as a treatment for my miss.

I cooked it today. Just saute kale and fry tempeh. I also took a shower and had breakfast. Breakfast alone, the man was still curled up under my worn-out blanket. Did this man faint in his sleep? So do not hear the activities in this house. Maybe if there was an earthquake or fire, then he would be one of the victims.

It's ten o'clock now. I've arranged the equipment I'm going to bring. I was just waiting for that lazy guy to wake up, bitch!

I've been waiting for an hour, and then it seems as though he'll wake up. He squirms then sits down after his face wash, without taking a bath.

Besides slackers it turns out he's a joker. Ckck! that was my first impression since living with him.

He took a cell phone and called someone. It seems like asking to pick up his friend.

" Are you ready?" Ask.

" Feed first!" My orders

" It's not necessary. Just pack it up to my house." Her speech.

I got up and went to the kitchen to wrap the food.

I heard the motor stop in front of my house.

I overheard Anto's conversation with her friends. Looks like his friends were teasing him about our first night. Huh! Superfluity.

I stepped out of the house.

Instantly they were silent. Silence without a word.

" Uda?" Ask.

After preparing, I took the time to say goodbye to the neighbors around my house. Don't forget we stopped by wak Sani's house.

There are faces of worry on the face of Wak Sani.

I hugged him and asked for his prayer. He also told me to always be careful. Always send word to him. Certainly by whispers.

We finally continued our journey.

We stopped for lunch.

He was starving because he didn't want to eat breakfast.

He ordered rice padang with side dishes rendang four servings. Don't forget the iced tea.

Be full! That's what I think it's this afternoon.

After an hour's journey we finally arrived at Anto's house.

After dropping off our bags, two of Anto's friends went home.

The house is nice, not like my house is reot. I'm still standing. Sculpting, is this the reason my mother set me up with Anto?

I'm still in front of this minimalist house. Clean, cool area, and lots of greenery. Who takes care of this house and plants? Anto though? My mind is busy guessing hell until it doesn't hear when Anto lets me in.

" What do you think? Come in Nai!" Her speech.

I nodded, nervous is what I thought.

Anto opened the door to his house. Then bring our bags in. I walk behind him.

We arrived at a room facing each other.

" Do you want to sleep in the room and bed with me? If you don't want to, you can occupy that room. If you want you can go into my room." Flat talk.

Back I nodded.

" Yes or no?" Ask again.

" Yes." Reply slowly. We are not legally husband and wife. It would be a sin if I always kept my distance from him.

Finally he opened the door to his room.

Uda cold hit my face. I looked around this room. Neat, clean, fragrant also cool. Probably because it has air conditioning. My mind is busy commenting on its own.

" It's an empty closet, put your clothes in there!" His order.

" If you want to take a shower there is a bathroom. There's a new set of women I've prepared." Further again.

Then he took a towel and went to take a shower.

I sat for a while on a big bed. Weak, another with our own that I sleep with my mother every night.

Then I took my clothes off. The big closet is still empty even though it is filled with my clothes.

Mom, is this your goal for my marriage to a man I don't love?

Anto is ready to take a shower. He came out of the bathroom with a towel.

I threw my face away, uncomfortable.

" Go take a shower with your clothes!" His order.

I rushed into the bathroom with my equipment. Arriving inside I dizzy looking wc also looking for buckets and dipper. All the tools I use in my shower are completely absent. I'm out of the bathroom.

" Bang?" Call me.

He looked up while raising his eyebrows.

" Is there no wc his bang? There is no water either. Bucket-dipper is also absent." Plain speech.

He patted his head while laughing.

I scrunched my forehead. Not understanding the meaning of laughter. I can laugh too, my inner man.

He didn't answer my question. He even stepped into the bathroom.

" Here let me teach you!" Call her.

I'm approaching too. It shows how. Once I understand, we can laugh together.

He left me alone in this bathroom.

I'm done with my bath activities. Then I went out of the room. Anto was sitting in front of the television watching the news.

I dare not approach until he realizes my arrival.

" Ah, uda ready for Nai? Here sit." Call him while patting a chair on the edge that looks empty.

I'm doubting.

He approached me. Grab my hand. The first sweet treat I received.

I'm like the buffalo that had its nose poked. Not a little wrinkle.

We are now sitting in the same chair. He seemed to be not focused on watching the news on tv. His breath was like going up and down.

I shudder in horror. Did he want our first night?
