My Bow to the Destiny of Love

Bowl of porridge

"You ate ya. Pity I saw the porridge stirred. It's getting softer."

"Burts are indeed soft, Brother."

"Yes, that's why. Here, I bribe into your mouth."

Chayra shook her head while closing her mouth. "Not good, the race is bland."

"Eh, don't talk about it, sweetie." Ardian silently turned around staring around. Afraid that his wife's words would be heard by someone else or make the chicken porridgeist behind him offended.

Sure enough, the sweet black chick of the porridge merchant instantly smiled at Ardian

"Sorry, Brother. Here's no added sugar or salt if there's no flavor."

"Eh, no, Dek. My wife is pregnant again. The porridge is delicious. It's just that a pregnant person's mouth is sometimes weird."

Chayra brushed off her husband's arm. "Why the hell is that?"

"Rather than his brother being offended. It's pity, Chay." Ardian Whispers. "Here, let me bribe. Who knows if it has moved into my hands, it will feel good again."

"Would it be like that?!"

"Can..." Ardian rubbed his wife's head. Look at the woman's face in silence. The woman who had successfully melted her stone heart into a cotton-soft heart.

"Mh... Chay.."

Chayra glanced at her husband. "What..?"

"Look at me, honey. Why do you avoid my eyes. Are you still angry because Aki couldn't accompany you earlier."

"No, Brother. I'm just happy to stare at this passer-by in front of us."

"Is staring at them more pleasant than staring at your own husband?"

Chayra poked her lips. "I see Ardian every day. Yes. how yes. I'm still happy to see Brother even though sometimes Brother's behavior irritates me."

"Are you angry with me now?"

"Slightly, because of that mistake."

"Mmm... Can I ask you a question?"

"Ask what?"

"Mm. Yesterday I was looking for you to the Clinic, there was a mother who told me that you were crying when you came out of the check room. Is everything......" Ardian stopped his words as Chayra's index finger stuck to his lips.

"Srstttt... You believe too easily the words of others. I never cry. I was just pouting because Brother didn't show up."

Ardian breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the person's words only added to his panic.

Flashback..

Ardians Pov...

I really freaked out when I didn't find Chay at the Clinic. My feelings get mixed up as I ask and get answers that make me feel more and more like a useless husband.

I repeatedly hit my steering wheel. In my heart, I blame myself for being too attached to Papi and Mami's wishes. Mami seems to be deliberately wasting my time so that I don't go home quickly. Their attitude was also a little different after I looked more concerned about my wife than work.

My heart fretted when Chay didn't answer my call. After five attempts but no results. I finally tried to call my in-laws phone number. My mother did not answer my call either. I can finally take a deep breath. You have to be able to think positively. All this time Mom never ignored my calls as angry as she did to me. She was the best mother I have ever met.

I sent a few messages to both of them. God willing, if Chay is really angry with me, then surely Mother will return my message.

Long waiting for no answer, I finally chose to contact Bian. Although I'm actually lazy. The child often jokes at inappropriate times. However, sometimes his presence around me is quite useful.

The boy answered my call on the second call. His distinctive voice instantly sounded in my ear.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barokaatuh.."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Bi. Have you guys gone home yet?"

"Eh, this person has not answered the greeting perfectly play nyosor just ask."

Huh, I immediately sniffed in annoyance. This kid really. "I'm not in the mood to joke. I seriously asked. I'm still at the clinic, looking for you."

Bian immediately issued a long fatwa. My ears were ringing hearing his chatter. I repeatedly took a deep breath.

Sorry, Son. Your mother and wife just finished praying Maghrib. Go home, later at home you talk well with your wife. I'll persuade her not to be angry with you. He was pouting all the time. Really expecting your presence.

I breathed heavily reading the message. I continue reading the second message.

Your wife won't come home. He's going to the town square. I have persuaded him to forgive you. You'll pick him up later. He said he dreamed he would eat meatballs with you if you came earlier. Try asking him that later. Who knows, he still wants it. I'll go home with Bian first.

Thank God, I murmured slowly. I immediately slid to the place my in-laws meant.

I walked up to Chay when I saw Bian standing behind her. Bian who was already aware of my whereabouts hinted at me for me to get closer. He is seen saying something to Chay and then just passing by.

Seeing my wife sitting alone stirring up a bowl of porridge with a blank look made me feel sorry for her. I finally approached and greeted him. Seeing his smile made my restless feeling that had disappeared immediately.

Flashback..

Unknowingly, Chayra spent the bowl of porridge that was bland he said.

"No, the porridge is up. It was tasteless because your heart was bland." Ardian rubbed his wife's lips slightly. Look at him without blinking.

"Thank you, don't look at me like that. It's a public place. That look should only be taken out when we're both in the room." Put down her husband's hand and immediately fix the veil.

"I'm sorry." Ardian had to lower his hand.

They stay in each other's minds. Ardian several times looked at his wife who looked dumbly staring at the traffic of people who were getting crowded.

"Mh... Chay.."

"Yes.."

"How is our son. You haven't told me the results of today's examination."

"Thank God be all good, brother. However, his weight is still less than it should be. I was told to add another portion of food by the Doctor. I told you, that I'm even very greedy when I eat. The doctor said, I may have thought too much. Be told to avoid stress and always keep the mood to be happy."

Ardian breathed a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry, honey. Maybe it's all because I've been too busy and less attentive to you lately."

"Don't blame each other. We have to introspect ourselves. It's for our good in the future."

"Yes, Honey. I'm sorry." Ardian pulled his wife into his arms. Suddenly Ardian remembered the message his father-in-law had sent earlier, that his wife wanted to eat meatballs. Actually his stomach is a little full. Fortunately he pressed the portion of his meal at dinner with his parents earlier.

"Mh.. Chay I'm hungry."

Chayra immediately withdrew. "Well, hasn't Brother eaten dinner with Papi and Mami?"

"I. Yeah, but I didn't have an appetite. My mind is floating everywhere. Thought you were the one still waiting for me. A little irritated also because Mami deliberately stalling time so I don't go home spit."

"Maybe Mami wants Big Brother to come home, so she behaves like that. Her name is also a mother, brother. Everywhere must want long time with his son. Especially like Kak Ardian who is just a child. Why not stay at home for a night or two. I feel sorry for Mami and Papi. Mom said, Mommy and Papi are going to America again."

"Yes. But I feel bad about having to set foot in that house again. I feel like a stranger who doesn't deserve to go into that house anymore."

Chayra breathed a rough breath. "Have it, we don't have to remember those difficult times anymore. I'm just gonna eat now. What would you eat?"

"M..." Ardian pretended to think. "Eating meatballs is good, honey. Moreover, this drizzle, cold-cold like this right, good to eat warm-warm."

Chayra's eyes sparkled with pleasure. "Same kok, Brother. I also from this afternoon dreamed of eating meatballs. I also wanted to go alone if I didn't want to eat."

"I'm sorry. Come on, let's go now."

"Wait for Mom and Bian first. Mom went to the toilet. If Bian, uh, he's waiting in the car." Pointing towards the parking lot.

"Not to wait. They're not here anymore."

"I mean Brother?" Chayra knitted her brows in wonder.

"Mother and Bian are home, Chay."

"Can't you like that?"

"I told them to go home. If they're still here, I can't be alone with you."

"Huh, a lot of behavior. They have not returned from that."

Ardian just smiled grimacingly. He was just thankful his wife didn't.
