My Beloved Husband's

My Beloved Husband's
Aileen Trauma



Jordan's right and left hands are full of Salsa groceries. From colorful plastic to paper bag. Salsa shopping in Malioboro. Rarely he goes to Jogja like this, once there is a chance to immediately flounder when shopping.


"You want some spring rolls, too?" Tanya Jordan noticed Salsa's eyes glancing at the lumpia seller.


"Can?"


Jordan nodded his head, "May, if your stomach still fits." The answer is considering that Salsa had eaten a lot earlier at the soto stall.


"Well done, that was all gone." Salsa said spiritedly running towards the lumpia seller.


Salsa bought five spring rolls and ate them without giving them to Jordan. Because he knows Jordan doesn't really like spring rolls. Jordan is full anyway.


"We're going home tonight or tomorrow?" Ask Salsa on the sidelines eating spring rolls. With full hand oil right left.


"Later tonight." Jordan replied while giving Salsa a tissue. Salsa received her tissue and wiped her oil-stained hands. "I still want to be here." Salsa's murmur was heard by Jordan.


"When to come here again. Tomorrow afternoon we have to go to my business partner's wedding. You forgot?" Jordan reminded.


Salsa then pouted, "I forgot." He said, "Partially why the hell your business partner married weeks, why not Monday or Tuesday. Sunday should be a relaxing time not even a condition." Cerocos Salsa was a little upset her impromptu vacation time was interrupted due to the condition.


"It was a month ago. Tomorrow's the reception." Jordan's reply was insensitive.


"Ah, whatever." Salsa got up and threw out the lumpia container trash box and walked away irritatedly.


Jordan gave a small smile and followed Salsa walking beside him.

Monday was a day of enthusiasm for private employees like Salsa and Tania. At 08:00 exactly they are in the workspace and ready to move as a doctor.


"You're going to Jogja?" Tania asked a bit of barking in her disbelief. And Salsa only responded with a small nod. "That's for you!" Pointing the paper bag that Salsa had placed on Tania's desk.


Tania glanced at the paper bag at her work desk. He had indeed noticed what paper bag was on his desk since he entered the room. But, he did not expect the paper bag contained souvenirs from Salsa that ran out of a short vacation in Jogja.


"Wish to go to Jogja a day doang." Tania snatched his souvenir and checked its contents. Three large paper bags containing batik and bakpia typical of Jogja. "Who am I?" Tania frowned when she saw the souvenirs in the form of princess batik and kakung sarimbitan.


"That's for you and mom, not you." Salsa interrupted. "You have the other bag."


"Oh, pantesan." Tania put away the paperbag that turned out to be souvenirs for her parents and saw the paper bag for her. "Well, this is real." Glad to get his souvenirs.


A batik tulis dress made by local artisans with great love. To Tania of Salsa.


"Thank you, my mother must be very fond." Tania saved her souvenirs onto the shelf next to the bag hanger..


"Either. I brought the one that was opened, it's for you at home." Salsa said when she saw Tania would open her bakpia.


"OK on." Put back the bakpia that he had not been able to open to his place.

"Yes, ma. Nana will tell you about mama again." Nana said on the phone with someone in her room.


"..."


"Yes, ma. Nana closes first, ma."


"..."


"Okay, ma."


Finished the phone Nana put her phone in her white coat pocket. Then it turned back to Salsa and Tania who were in Nana's room at the time.


"Sorry, my mom called me." Nana.


"No papa, doc." Reply Salsa and Tania.


"We continue the conversation, I have received your resignation letter. Can't it be reconsidered?" Ask Nana.


Previously Salsa and Tania compact submitted their resignations.


"Sorry, doc. My decision is ripe." Answer Tania first.


Then, Nana turned to look at Salsa. "What about Doctor Salsa?"


Tumber, is Nana being formal with Salsa?


"I've decided too, doc. To continue my resignation process." Salsa replied firmly.


Nana was bearded, "Well, if you've decided what I can do." His comments in a disappointed tone.


Salsa and Tania looked at each other. Both are equally urgent. But, Salsa knew Tania got a new job first so she relented.


"Tania just go, doc. I can follow after there's a doctor replacing me." Answer Salsa.


Tania immediately glanced at Salsa and was replied with a nod by Salsa.


"Okay, I acc now." Nana immediately signed Tania's resignation letter so that it can be processed to the next stage.


"Thank you, doc." Tania meant it.


Salsa and Tania walked out of Nana's room straight back into their room.


"Are you sure I'll resign first?" Tania still hesitates to leave Salsa where they both struggle to get into this hospital from scratch with their abilities without insider help or bribes.


"Luck, I haven't got a new job yet." Salsa patted Tania on the shoulder.


Tania has found a new job at Edward Hospital, a hospital under the auspices of JJ corporation. The big company belongs to mommy Ayu who is also the mother-in-law of Salsa. When Tania had the intention to resign from her current job, she immediately quickly applied for a proposal at Edward Hospital and was accepted after one interview.

Returning home from work, Salsa goes to Jessica's house to deliver souvenirs.


"Not stopping by first, coffee first what cake. Cook go straight away?" Jessica said.


"Other times yes, I'll do it sometime." Answer Salsa.


"Well.. Bdw, thanks for that."


"Either. I'm home!" After Salsa's chirps get into her car and leave Jessica's mansion.


Salsa parked her car in a neat garage. She saw her husband's car was already in the garage, meaning Jordan had arrived first.


Salsa headed straight for the second floor where her room was. "Darling..." Call Salsa while pushing the door of her room and into her room. Jordan, who was relaxing on the sofa with his laptop on his back, turned his head. "Just home?" Ask Jordan. Salsa nodded towards Jordan and immediately kissed Jordan on the cheek.


"Go take a shower there. Keep eating."


"okay." Salsa went straight to the bathroom to clean up.


After giving himself up and changing clothes with a home negligee, Salsa headed for the dining room. Jordan was there first.


"You didn't forget to stop by mommy's house, did you?" Ask Salsa.


This morning before Jordan left for work, Salsa gave Jordan the task to stop by the house mommy Ayu gave souvenirs from Jogja.


"No, kok. Mommy sends you a greeting."


"Ih, so miss mommy." While giving Jordan dishes that already contain rice and side dishes.


"It's mbak's new iki-day work, right?" Ask Jordan.


Salsa nodded her head, "Yes, why?" the lyrics are on the husband who is chewing his cooking. "No boy?"


"Lumayan." Answer Jordan.


Salsa was curious about the taste of her new home assistant's cooking. "Nake it." Her comment.


"It's good to cook you." Said Jordan crunching.


"Dih, even though I'm cooking a scorch?"


"Tetep is good."


"Basic bucin." Salsa Kekeh.


"His mother comes in the morning and keeps the afternoon home?" Tanya Jordan confirmed the work schedule of her new housekeeper.


"Yes, Monday to Saturday. Sunday off." Answer Salsa. "It looks like it's good, really."


Jordan, who was done with his dinner, raised his eyebrows while looking at Salsa. "I guess?"


"Kan, I don't know yet, honey. I got it from the foundation." Answer Salsa who hired an assistant from the foundation's aid.


"Oh, why don't you ask mommy for help?"


"I don't feel good about mommy, any small problems can still be taken care of by myself." Salsa was often hesitant to ask Ayu for help. More precisely he did not want to be stamped as a spoiled daughter-in-law. Unlike Jessica who from the beginning of marriage has brought a housekeeper from Ayu's house.


"Originally you're not a fuss up to you." Jordan said as he stroked the top of Salsa's head.
