Mr. Security, Marry Me...!!!

30 - Guava Tree

After the morning drama Bumil, Moon and Alif are now on their way to Alif's hometown. Even the Moon left in a state of not bathing, just brushing his teeth and washing his face, Alif really made the head by the behavior of the Moon. Whether it was the Moon's own will or the pure work of her child, only they both knew.

Traveling for three hours, they finally arrived at the village. Alif smiled to see his wife who fell asleep so peacefully on his lap many snacks and fruit, because during the trip the Moon just kept chewing.

Tokk tokk tokk

Alif knocked on the door of the house with the Moon in his arms, after waiting for a while for the door to be opened from the inside.

“Nang, is this really you?” the woman who was no longer young looked surprised by the arrival of her Son and also the daughter-in-law who was carried by her child.

“Not Mbok, this is a stray neighbor's child here to eat.” Alif said accompanied by guyonan.

“This you, yes have brought your wife in.” Alif took his wife inside and laid the Moon in a room that had been occupied by the Moon while visiting there with Nura the other day. Alif briefly peeked at his wife's forehead, the Moon was not even a little disturbed, maybe the effect of fullness and also tired because of a long trip.

“Why don't you come here, Nang?” ask Mbok after Alif out of the room.

“This is also impromptu Mbok, woke up this morning the Moon directly asked to come here, even the Moon has not taken a shower at all, want to shower here.” Obviously Alif after kissing the back of Mbok's hand. Then

“If not in follow, would you like to go alone?” added Alif later.

“Udah like a cravings man, your wife.” The mbok laughed a little.

“Indeed, Mbok's favorite son-in-law was cravings.” Alif smiled broadly.

“Alhamdulillah.” Said Mbok Maryam happily, her eyes misty slowly tears flowed from the corner of her already wrinkled eyes. Mbok Maryam hopes that she will be given the age to see her granddaughter born.

“Mbok why cry?”

“Mbok crying happy, wrestling God quickly give you the trust to be parents. Mbok used to have to wait for years, until finally you present.” Alif hugged the frail body affectionately.

“Mbok, see Moon?” alif asked suddenly from the back door of his house. He panicked when he did not find his wife in the room.

“Not your wife sleeping?” Mbok Maryam who was picking vegetables turned to his son.

“Ngga no Mbok, Alif have been looking everywhere not met.” Alif rubbed his face rough. “Honey where are you?” muttered Alif slowly. The Mbok was also worried, because his daughter-in-law was pregnant.

“Have you searched ahead? Who knows, he's got mangoes. Your wife really likes mango.”

“Udah Mbok, but nothing too!”

“Maybe your wife is walking around the village here, try to find.” Mbok Maryam left his unfinished vegetables plucked, followed by looking for the Moon son-in-law.

When Alif passed under the guava tree, his head fell down the remaining guava that had been eaten, Alif looked up. Alif's eyes widened perfectly to see who dropped the rest of the guava.

“I again want to eat guava candles Mas, but want it directly on the tree. Your son Loh Mas who asked not to Moon.” Alif sneered at his temple, suddenly he became a migraine with all his wife's unpredictable behavior. It looks like the pregnancy hormones of the wife make Alif feel like a roller coaster ride.

You're still in the womb, son. But it's made Dad's head suddenly migraine . Alif's heart screams.

“But that's a danger dear, if you slip how? Not only danger for you, but our children also.” Say Alif gently.

“Nang, why are you still here she said she wants to find your wife?” mbok said Maryam from behind wanted to catch up with Alif looking for the Moon.

“People searched above Mbok!” show Alif lethargic.

The Mbok also looked up to the direction pointed at his Son, “Nduk, your husband has been confused your nyari, eh! You're going to eat guava up there.” Si Mbok laughs, “Yang patient yo Nang!” Mbok Maryam patted her arms smiling at the face of her child who looked frustrated.

“Now down huh? Did you eat directly on the tree?” Persuade Alif, who has recharged his patient stock.

The moon nodded, then he wanted to go down but his face looked puzzled.

“Mas how to get down? Hix.. Moon fear..“ The moon tightly hugged the trunk of the guava tree, its eyes were already glazed with legs dangling down. Alif patted his eel, “So how did you ride? How to get down and can't?” ledek Alf's.

“Mbok, see Mas Alif instead ledekin Moon?” his sister's in-laws.

“Already! take the stairs there, fuck your wife!”

“You wait there, don't move. Okay?” The moon is fast.

Alif took the stairs from behind his house which he used to take mangoes. Alif slowly lowered the Moon who was hugging him with trembling hands.

“Pelan-pelan darling.” Alif had to be careful because one hand held the weight of the Moon and the other held the stairs.

*****

At this time Moon and Alif were in the backyard, Moon was sitting on a long chair made of rattan. While Alif was drying his wife's hair that had just finished bathing him. The calm and beautiful atmosphere of the greenery of the plants there makes the Moon so relaxed coupled with the breeze.

Finished drying the Moon's hair, Alif entered the house not how long he came out with a large plastic bag.

“Mas, know aja Moon hungry.” Said gnawing.

“If don't know isn't your husband his name.” Alif pinched Moon's nose, then took and opened a packet of biscuits that his wife used to eat during pregnancy, Alif was so protective of whatever the Moon and Moon could and did not eat that she never protested what her husband did. So far the Moon has never asked for strange food, only her behavior that makes Alif have a headache.

Both of them really enjoy their leisure time, while occasionally Alif menjahili his wife who ended the Moon raging. Mbok Maryam who saw the intimacy of the child and his daughter-in-law increasingly happy, without feeling her tears also dripped. There is nothing she wants in this world but the happiness of her son's household.

“May only death separate you.” Mbok Maryam's heartfelt prayers while wiping away her tears.
