My husband never loved me

What a beautiful night with you, Mom

They're eating lunch. Faisal sat down right next to Yulia. While Sisi, sitting in the middle of pack Andrian and Bu Sari. A special dish of Lampung people, served bu Sari. Pindang patin kuah clear, sambal belacan, felt to fit the atmosphere that afternoon. Faisal ate with gourmand, like a man who had not eaten for a few days. Yes because indeed, as long as Yulia and Sisi left the house, Faisal did not eat well. Yulia felt happy, because she could gather together her in-laws at this time.

After eating, Yulia and Bu Sari tidied up the dining table. Yulia headed to the kitchen to wash the dishes. While Ms. Sari, she cleaned up the leftovers on the dining table.

Faisal, Sisi, and Mr. Hermawan, they are in the backyard. They choose to chat on the back porch, while enjoying a snack of banana salai, which Bu Sari made.

Sisi chattered, recounting moments with Yulia in Lampung. Mr. Hermawan who heard Sisi's speech, then asked.

"Are you having trouble with your wife, Sal?" hesitantly answered by Faisal "Slightly Sir, just a misunderstanding."

"The smallest problem you have to solve well. What misunderstanding is keeping your wife away from home?" ask her again, Hermawan.

"Sorry sir, not that Faisal doesn't want to tell you. But this matter let Faisal and Yulia know.' Faisal rubs Sisi's hair.

"As a man, you should be able to make your wife and children happy. No matter how small the issue, do not be ashamed to apologize first. A wife is the spearhead of a family. If your wife is not happy, then your family will not be happy. You're lucky to get a good woman like Yulia, she never complained of anything while being your wife. Don't waste him, Sal." Mr. Hermawan gave his advice to Faisal, Faisal just listened.

"Dad, we're at Opa's, right?" Said Sisi looking up his face to Faisal's face.

"Yes, we're here tonight!" faisal smiled faintly.

On the sidelines of their conversation, Yulia and Bu Sari came. They brought iced oranges and some other snacks. Yulia placed a tray of snacks and orange ice on the table.

Later, they both joined Faisal and Mr. Hermawan. They were chatting like a happy family. Yulia could smile again, as Faisal teased her in front of her in-laws. The feeling of anger, disappointment in Yulia, as if eroded when he saw Sisi so happy with his father.

The Ashar prayer resounded, after cleaning himself, Sisi, Yulia, and Faisal prayed together. There was a sense of peace in Faisal's heart, of being able to get together again with his little family. In his prayer, Faisal also pleaded for the wholeness of his household. Hearing Faisal's prayer, Yulia's heart was touched. Now he began to realize, that Faisal had actually loved him all along. But Yulia was confused, why was Faisal reluctant to reveal it to her.

That night, Faisal kept his promise to Sisi. He invites the whole family to eat meatballs together. At his mother's meatball shop, it was their choice. Yulia ordered tumpeng meatballs, just as she had eaten in Jepara. While Sisi, he chose to eat meatballs urate, because he thought it was chewy like gum. Sari's mother, Hermawan, and Faisal, they chose to eat rib meatballs.

They enjoy their own orders.

"Father, Sisi once ate meatballs with the same vein Om Angga," said Sisi honestly.

"Om Angga is very good, Sisi often bought chocolate equal candy." Sisi's words praising Angga, making Faisal moody. Angga can really take the heart of his wife and child.

"Sisi was once invited to swim also the same Om Angga," added Sisi made Yulia frown.

"Did you go with Sisi to swim?" faisal asked for information from Sisi.

"Mother does not come, Mother nemenin eyang putri to the market." Now Faisal smiled with relief, because Yulia did not accompany Sisi to swim. If only Yulia had come along, it would have been thought that the people who saw them, such as a married couple and their children.

"Om Angga was the winner of Mother when she was in school, right Mother?" Sisi confirmed his answer to Yulia.

"Yes Ma'am, Angga likes children very much. So, when meeting with Sisi, they were immediately familiar," explained Yulia.

Mr. Hermawan, knowing about Faisal and Yulia's problems, nudged Faisal's hand. While saying "just be careful" Faisal just smiled bitterly.

They were now on the road to the house. In the middle of the road there is a crowd that makes traffic there.

"Kok's stuck, Pa?" Faisal put his head out at the car door, to see what happened.

The crowd that caused the congestion, it turns out there is a night market not far from it. The side that knows there's a whining night market wants to see it. Faisal only resigned to obey Sisi's will, even though his body is very tired. As long as Yulia left the house, Faisal did not get enough rest. If there was free time, he used to look for Yulia. At the market that night, they ride some games. Faisal gave a bear doll that brought heart to Yulia. The doll he got, when he played claw doll. Faisal worked hard to get the doll. The side that found his mother was given a doll by his father. Make him sulk, ask for a pulse given the same doll. There was no one selling the doll anymore. Finally Yulia relented, giving the doll to Sisi.

Hearing heavy-heartedness, Faisal agreed to Yulia's opinion. Actually, Faisal wanted Yulia to accept the doll, instead of Sisi.

They were already at home, a long night had been passed by the small families of Faisal and Yulia. Ms. Sari and Mr. Hermawan plan, will bring Sisi to sleep in his room. In order to give Faisal and Yulia a chance to speak from heart to heart. Sisi was willing to sleep with them, having coaxed her by all means.

Now Yulia was in the room, after changing clothes Yulia laid her body on the bed. Faisal who had just escorted Sisi to his eye room, caught up with Yulia lying on the bed. When they were already in bed, Faisal was confused to start talking to Yulia. Indeed, when in the middle of Bu Sari and Mr. Hermawan, they seemed to be fine. But when they were just the two of them, they kept quiet.

Yulia slept with her back to Faisal, Faisal could only stare at Yulia's back.

"Yul, are you sleeping?" Nervously Faisal opened his voice.

"Not yet" Yulia only answered briefly.

"Yul, look here dong, when I'm on the back like this. I want to talk to you, Yul." Faisal carefully persuaded Yulia to see him. Yulia slowly turned her body towards Faisal. Their faces instantly met, with only an inch of distance. In the face of Yulia's face was fixed, then Faisal smiled at Yulia. Yulia's heart seemed to be racing. When she saw her husband, in front of her face

"Mas wants to apologize to you, you don't misunderstand me anymore" Faisal slowly began to explain everything. " Yul, the mas with Weli is no longer feeling anything. Because right now there is you present in the life of Mas. I'm actually ci.."

"Dad, mother huhuhu side do not want to bobo with eyes"

to be continued..

Save it first, Faisal said.
