My Husband's a Wasted Child

My Husband's a Wasted Child
Efforts that are not in vain



Afna kept trying to move her ankle slowly.


"Emmmmm" while looking at her husband, Afna felt confused to call her husband. Since marriage, Afna has never called her husband's name with special names or anything else.


"What's wrong?"


"Emmm nothing, I want to learn to stand up. Even if it's only two minutes, I want to try it."


'Actually that's not all, I'm just confused to call you who. No way, if I arrive I call you with a call dear. And there's no way I'm calling you by name, that's so rude. If I call you my husband, it's very ambiguous. Aaaah! why am I in such a dilemma, when I want to call my husband dear. Like mom and dad, it still looks romantic. But I am ... not as I imagined.


"Hey, honey. Then, all right. Previously, were you sure and really ready to learn to stand, do not be forced if your feet are still not able to stand." Whether there is any wind, Zayen who arrived suddenly called his wife with affection. Afna who heard him was stunned, like a dream when she heard her husband calling his wife with a call of affection.


Puk! the puk! many times Afna patted her cheeks without realizing she was being noticed by her husband who was in front of her. Marna's mother was a little surprised by Afna who looked strange, and certainly not as usual.


'Is this my husband calling me dear? I think I heard it wrong. No way, this strange man isn't like a chameleon. From his often vague attitude, it confused me. And even now my husband still makes me not understand the meaning of his attitude and other mindsets.' Mumbled Afna who was still trying to digest the words of affection that was fixed on her.


"Honey ... he said he wants to learn to stand, why are you still dumb? hemm .." said Zayen trying to revive his wife who looks a lot of daydreaming.


"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be ignorant of you."


"It's okay, now I'll help you to learn to stand."


"Thank you, sss ..." said Afna doubtful and embarrassed of course.


"What's wrong? just say it, don't be embarrassed. You will lose yourself if you are ashamed.


" It's nothing, really. Benera, I'm not lying.


"Then, you mean ssss ...that, what?"


"No, that's so embarrassing." Afna said a little embarrassed and nervous.


"Sorry, Miss and Mr. .. I'm sorry, I want to go to the bathroom."


"Oooh, please, Mom." Zayen replied while pointing towards the bathroom.


"Thank you, excuse me." Said Marna's mother, then headed for the bathroom.


While Afna is still dumbstruck and confused of course. Plus, he never mentioned affection with his loved ones though.


"What do you mean by shameful. It's starting to use secret secrecy apparently, fine." Zayen said then shifted his sight in another direction.


Inevitably, Afna tried to be honest. Although the reality is very embarrassing, Afna still trying to calm down.


"I mean, eemmmm I should call you by what name? I'm confused." Afna replied reflexively, then closed both her eyes with her palms to hide her embarrassment of not seeing the situation.


"Take off your palms, and look at me." Said Zayen who is now in front of his wife with a distance so close.


Nervously, Afna tried to open her palm that was covering her eyes.


Now, the two look at each other. Afna's heart rate again beats fast, his lips were too faint to speak.


"Why are you confused to call me, I never forbid you to call me as you can. As long as it's polite, for me it's not problematic." Zayen said seriously looking at his wife.


"I'm just confused by you calling me dear, what do you mean call me affection? I still don't understand." Answer the Afna innocently.


"You're confused about me calling you baby?"


"Yes, I'm confused to digest it. You never even told me love."


"You remember back to the time we both passed, remember! both."


Afna still did not understand, with what her husband said. Afna tried to digest it, but she could not find it.


"Have it, don't be forced to remember it. Later you will also remember yourself, now you better focus on learning to stand. If you're able to stand up, then start learning to walk."


"Alright, help me to stand up." Pinta Afna held her husband's arm to hold as she tried to stand up. Zayen helped her to stand up without using a stick.


Unexpectedly, Afna really can stand well.


"really? I can really stand up. Sweetheart! I can stand." Afna said with enthusiasm, but suddenly came to reflect by saying the word affection to call her husband. Zayen smiled fluffily, Afna turned clumsy with her own words. While Marna's mother who just came out of the bathroom was smiling to see a situation that was so romantic, even with the attitude of the two who were somewhat embarrassed.


"I'm sorry, I'm slipping." Afna said in embarrassment, Zayen just smiled at her.


"It's okay if it's too late, when necessary as often as possible. If every time, every call can be. I don't forbid it, I'll be happy." Zayen replied casually.


"Wah .. apparently Miss really can stand up, thank God. I'm glad to see it, now Miss is trying to walk one step one step. However, if it's not ready don't force it." Marna's mother's words were shocking.


"I'll try, ma'am .. Good luck. And I can walk as well as I used to, I'll start walking." Afna replied excitedly, Zayen was still on guard if at any time Afna fell.


Slowly, Afna tried to move her legs. Afna tried to keep her balance, so as not to fall just like that.


Step by step, Afna managed to achieve five steps. The face of the sumringah had radiated at both corners of her lips. Afna turned her back to approach her husband.


"Look at me, now I can walk, and I no longer feel pain or pain in my legs anymore. Look at my feet, now my legs are really able to support me." Said Afna look with a smile expands when she can now walk again.


Reflexively, Afna hugged her husband tightly. Unasked, Afna let out her tears and cried as she pleased. He never thought that the pain in his leg would heal so quickly.
