My husband, my Beloved (Revised)

My husband, my Beloved (Revised)
Bandung



Morning has revealed its existence. Bird chirping was clearly heard outside his room but Rain was reluctant to move. He returned to the bottom of his blanket while reading his favorite novel. Her husband who had just entered after finishing from the mosque for shubuh prayer only shook his head to see his wife's behavior. Rain laughed to himself while continuing to read the novel in his hand. She ignored her husband's existence.


He pulls the novel from his wife's hand.


"Ngapain is a nuisance, Mas" Rain put on an annoyed face by immediately sitting his body.


"It's not the right time to read a novel, it's still too early". He put the novel on the study table. Rain did not reply instead grabbed the phone he had placed under the pillow. Open the Instagram app and type someone's name in a search field.


An account that Rain idolized appeared. His face was beaming at the idol's post.


"It fits perfectly with the characters in the novels I read". Rain spoke to himself without caring about his husband.


"You're why the tumben is so males". Ega approached his wife.


"Once in a while, my body really lemes. I can't feel like I'm leaving here". Rain patted the mattress.


"Are we in Bandung this morning?" Ega stroked his wife's messy and still wet hair.


"It's still half-six, just a little more love of time". Without taking his eyes off the phone screen Rain still laughed to himself and continued muttering.


"The only Korean artist I know is you".


Ega frowned, very curious about what his wife saw to the point of ignoring his existence. Ega quickly snatched the phone and his eyes widened when he saw a mobile phone screen featuring several photos of men.


"Who?, you dare to take a picture of a man other than me?"


"What the hell, it's just a Korean artist! Not another man". Rain tried to get his phone. However, Ega raised his hand so that it was hard for Rain to reach him.


"She doesn't like this!" Ega said it still prevents Rain from getting his phone back.


"I like it and know it's the same He pray, just one can not be said lover of drakor right?" Rain gave up by dropping her body back on the bed.


"You think of him? likey? She's handsome?" Ega brought the phone screen closer to Rain's face and held Rain's hands together so as not to snatch the phone.


"Just like nothing, right? Is that time for jealousy?" Rain was silent and did not move.


"Initially like, you'll start comparing with me for a long time. You think about it even in front of you there's your husband". Ega throws Rain's phone into the middle of the bed, making Rain realize that her husband is angry.


Ega leaves Rain, who watches her husband's back disappear at the door of her room.


"Is that so, just an artist?". Rain drowned his face under the blanket. His body completely refused to do the activity.


🍂🍂🍂


Already dhuhur when they arrived in Bandung, precisely in the tea plantation with a million memories. Just what Rain had in mind. The plantation was very wide stretched with green making fresh eyes when looking at him. The house with a Dutch-style building still looks the same as it used to be when Mom left.


Ega, Mother, Mr. Riko and Rain were still in the car and were reluctant to go down even though they had reached the yard of the house. She seems to be preparing herself to confront her past. Occasionally his eyes closed and his hands clutching firmly the skirt he was wearing.


"Mother must be strong, we're out now, okay?" Rain who sat in the back seat held onto Mom's shoulder. Mother nodded.


They all got out of the car. Rain developed a smile because the place really fit what was in his shadow. The house in Dutch style and surrounded by a wide tea garden. Some people came out of the house, a woman of the same age as Mom and a grandfather carrying a small child. Maybe granddaughter.


"Richoo". They screamed when they were near their guests. The mother who had lowered her face slowly raised her head.


"The Odang, the Eyebrow?" I know those two figures.


"Zeein?" They both said Mother's name. Mom nodded then I don't know what pushed them so that made the three cuddle.


"For so long you go, why disappear like swallowed by the earth. You didn't even invite you to that wedding". The Alis and Mang Odang protests


"Here you go, let's go in". Mang Odang invited his guests in.


They all went into that house. Mother glimpsed at the wooden chair where the last place Mother combined love with Rakha. Rain who understood Mom's sadness, gripped Mom's hand strongly.


The atmosphere of the house is still the same as before, the furniture is still the same. Even there is still a photo of Rakha and Rosa's wedding. The house is now switched on behalf of Rosa even though Rosa herself is gone.


Rain smiled back at the contents of the house, wanting it to feel like he was settling here.


"You two married?" The newly returned eyebrows daei kitchen brought a few cups of tea for his guests pointed at Riko and Mother alternately.


"Lo thinks Lis? From Rakha time must turn to Him" replied Mother looking sharply at the grim Mr. Riko.


"Eh those two must be Loe's kids? beautiful and handsome. That guy can look like Rakha?" Alis sat down and put a tray on her lap.


"He's Rakha and Rosa's son". Pak Riko replied making Mang Odang and Eyebrow flabbergasted.


"Rosa said her son died?" Eyebrows observe Ragga's face and there is Rosa's eyeball on Ragga's eye.


"Rakha's trickery, he purposely slammed her for revenge against Rosa". Answer Mr. Riko.


Mang Odang approached towards Ega and grabbed both of Ega's cheeks.


"You're Rosa's son? You're my nephew?" Mang Odang whose face was already wrinkled everywhere could not hide his shock and delight. The bewildered Ega should behave how to just nod a smile.


Eyebrows came closer and clasped Ega's shoulders. Be the child and the Father hugged Ega together. Rain looked at the scene with a happy heart. So did Ega, finally He could feel how warm a family was.


"I was so poor that I let Rosa marry the married man of that time. Because of me, your life must have suffered without a mother". Mang Odang unraveled his embrace.


"But if Papa and Mama don't marry, I won't be able to have a husband this handsome Cake". Rain tried to distract them in order to see his whereabouts as well.


"You're his wife? I figured... Mang Odang hung his sentence because it was cut by Rain


"Kenalin Kek, Rain khadija. Her beautiful daughter is Zein's mother and Reza's father. Now be your granddaughter". Rain grabbed and kissed Mang Odang's hand and switched to doing the same on Eyebrow.


Look at him, even innocently can change the atmosphere. How can I not always fall in love with her?


Inner Ega stared with a faint smile towards his wife who was now hugged by Mang Odang and Eyebrow.
