My Husband is my First Love

50.

After returning from school Arlita who had changed clothes directly to the kitchen to start learning to cook with Bi Inah while Pramudya went to work to see the opening of his new workshop.

Actually her husband had invited her to come with him but his wife refused to come because today she wants to start learning to cook.

Arlita prepares all the ingredients to start cooking, starting from vegetables and other ingredients.

"Bi taught Lita how to cook rice".

"Well let me teach you".

Arlita approached the assistant and saw how to wash the rice after she saw him give water according to the amount of rice to be cooked and put it into the rice cooker.

" How long does it take to cook the rice?

The assistant smiled happily because his employer had great curiosity.

"It only takes 15 to 20 minutes mba continues if the lights have changed it sign the name is ripe."

Arlita nodded her head in understanding.

They continued their cooking activities until they finished.

Elsewhere in a restaurant, a middle-aged man was sitting restlessly at his desk.

He was waiting for someone he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Excuse me, sir, this is the order.

The man nodded too.

" Thank you".

"Together sir, then excuse me".said the waiter again but his steps stopped when someone called him.

" Does you call me?

" yes. Sorry can you call a waiter named Arlita.

"Arlite".

"Yes, can you call him here".

" I'm sorry Mr. Arlita...Arlita has resigned sir".

"That means Arlita's not working anymore? Since when?

" That's right, sir, he resigned a month ago sir, he said he wanted to focus on school because soon the graduation exam is school."

"Thank you".he said with a disappointed face.

" I'm sorry sir".

The man drank his coffee looking out the window.

"Where else should I see him. Father misses you Brother".his inner heart says.

For almost half an hour the man sat there until someone suddenly rebuked him.

" You've been here a long time om.

The man raised his head and nodded.

"Can we talk for a minute".

Pramudya nodded and sat down in front of the man and called the waiter to bring him a glass of warm tea.

"How's Arlita doing?

" Lita's fine om, sorry I haven't been able to call you father".

"Yes, I understand that my daughter is the one who makes you unable to call me by the call of father right?

"I'm sorry, I just want to keep his mood happy that's one way to speed up his recovery. "

"Will the disease be cured?

" Insha Allah.I just try to hopefully Arlita will recover quickly.Especially now Arlita has received treatment from the best psychiatrist Doctor".

"Thank you, you've taken care of my daughter".

" You don't have to thank me, it's my duty as her husband."

The man nodded

her head.

"Sorry may I ask you yesterday you called me, is there anything you want to talk about?

" I just wanted to ask you about my daughter's news because I've been here a few days I've never seen her, so that's why I called you".

The priest grazed his tea and put it again on the table.

"That's right om, I don't allow Lita to work anymore.Right now I just want her to enjoy her life as a teenage girl who has freedom in life without being burdened with economic problems. He should have enjoyed his youth long ago".

"I'm sorry if my words offend you, I don't mean it that way but it's a reality."

"Yes I know that, I realized I was one example of a very bad father.I am an irresponsible father so Arlita had to take over my duties as a family head".

"I know I'm wrong, whatever I want to do now it's all for nothing because I can't bring back the good times for my kids. "

"Can you give me a solution if anyone tells me what should I do to make amends?

Pramudya saw the face of the man sitting in front of him look so sad.

" May I ask you something".

The man looks at his daughter-in-law."Wanna ask what?

"What's the reason for cheating".

" It's just lust, yes it's just a momentary lust that makes me have to get stuck in it ".

" I'm sorry if the question I asked earlier is one of the princess's questions".

The man was surprised and lowered his head without feeling he was crying.

"Arlita asked me a lot if my mother was no longer beautiful or if my father was tired of living with us. Wasn't my mother a great woman for giving her three children, that was the question Lita always asked. Honestly, I can't answer it".

The man looked down sadly after hearing his daughter-in-law's words.

"I'm sorry.I'm sorry, brother, I'm wrong forgive your father.

Pramudya only silent that he can do now is just that, so that the sound of the phone rang.

He saw it turned out to be the idol who wanted a video call.

Then he lifted it up.

" Dear assalamu'alaikum".

"Walaikumsalam".return his wife.

" What are you again?

" I'll learn to cook later you have to eat at home, I want you to be the first to taste my cooking".

Her husband smiled

" When I got home from the restaurant I went straight home ".

" Wait don't you tell me that you're going to the opening of the workshop when all of a sudden it's already in the restaurant?

"The opening is over, baby, so I stopped by the restaurant for a while to check".

" Oh so".

"Where is it good not to learn the cooking?

" I'm so happy that I know cooking is fun maybe I've been able to cook for a long time but I'm busy making money so there's no time for that".

The man in front of Pramudya bowed when he heard his daughter's curses without feeling he was crying.

Pramudya also saw it but he was back in focus with his cellphone because the wife was still waiting for him to talk.

"I know baby.I'm glad I'll call you back, okay".

" All right, I'm waiting for you at home. Assalamu'alaikum ".

" yes. Waalaikumsalam dear spirit of learning to cook it".

Then his phone died, he refocused on his in-laws.

"Can you help me".

"Help what?

The man handed him a brown map on the table.

" What is this om?

"This is a house letter and some assets that I have, I want you to give it to my children, this is my responsibility to them. "

"But.. ".

" I beg you to accept "he said pleading.

" Well I'll take it, I'll give it to you if the time is right."

.

"Thank you.I went first. "got her farewell and left Pramudya.

"Sama-sama om".he replied while watching his father-in-law leave the restaurant.
