[Sir, have you slept yet, dear?] I read an incoming message from Mas Randi tonight on my green app. Isn't this their first night. Why did Mas Randi send me a message.
"Mas can't sleep Deck. Kangen the same Adek and children" Mas Randi's second message.
I didn't reply. I don't think it's appropriate to have a chat with Mas Randi on the first night with the other wife. I decided to go straight to sleep, without replying to the message.
*****
"Tumben Randi isn't coming, son?" My mom asked me this morning, when I helped cook breakfast in my mom's kitchen.
"Mas Randi again out of town on Ma'am's job" I replied while stirring my favorite chicken opor, mother's cooking became my favorite.
"I'm not coming with Mom, because I'm pregnant again, afraid of exhaustion" I continued.
"Are you pregnant again, son? Thank God my mother's grandchildren want to go. Hope you get a daughter yes" replied Mother with a sparkler glad I saw on the look of her face while holding my stomach is still flat.
"Yes ma'am, it's been two months" I said.
"Alhamdulillah, you are now successful son. It already has a big house, a two-unit car and a big store. Especially now to have another child. I am so happy to see her" said the mother full of happiness.
"Alhamdulillah ma'am, sustenance of children" I answered briefly while holding the pain in the heart.
"May's a blessing, son" Mother's prayer.
"Aamiin, Ma'am" I replied.
The cuisine is ripe. We're setting up at the dining table. Then eat with my father and my children.
It was so happy to be with my parents. For a moment the pain in the heart disappeared.
*****
In the afternoon, I took the kids home. My house and Mother's house are only two kilometers away. It only took me 10 minutes to run my car with low speed.
When we got home, we took a break. Thirty minutes later there was a knock on the door. I hurried to open the door.
"Mas Randi?" I was shocked outside the door as Mas Randi stood up.
"Yes dear" he answered quickly.
"Mas, come home. Today is still the schedule at Ririn's house. Poor Ririn. It has to be fair" I said quickly. Mas Randi just slammed into my arms, kissed my forehead and then kissed my stomach.
I'm speechless. Nunggu Mas Randi spoke.
"Mas, miss once, Deck. Usually every day meet Adek and children" said Mas Randi as he walked to the television room approaching children who were playing small cars. Then Mas Randi carried the two in his right and left hands.
"Already Mas. I went back to Ririn's house. Poor Ririn will look for Mas" I said.
"Chat Mas last night wasn't reply, Dek?" Tanya Mas Randi, her smile broke while smirking the little cheeks of children.
"Sorry, I'm sorry" I replied.
"Mas wants to eat Adek cuisine. What cooking is it? I'm hungry" he asked.
"I'm not cooking yet, Mom. This was brought opor vegetables from Mother's house" I said again.
"Mas wants, Dek" he said softly while sitting at the dining table.
I hurried to get the dishes and prepare a meal for Mas Randi.
Mas Randi ate so voraciously like he had not eaten for two days.
After I finished I sent Mas Randi back to Ririn's house. With a heavy heart Mas Randi walked out of the house.
*****
Tonight I felt the head dizzy, stomach cramping and came out quite a lot of spots. I'm rattled. I want to go to the hospital but I don't dare to drive in this condition.
I want to contact Mas Randi but Mas Randi is at Ririn's house. I wanted to contact my family but I was not feeling good, afraid of being troublesome, afraid of being discovered that Mas Randi had remarried. I can't stand it anymore.
I remember Bang Rendra. Yes Bang Rendra. I immediately opened the messenger app.
[Bang, can I ask you to take me to the hospital now?] Write me immediately I click send.
A minute later, the phone came in with a new number. I lifted.
"Mr, this is Rendra. Ma'am is sick again. I'm there now, are we going straight to the hospital?" Bang Rendra said quickly.
"Yes Bang. I wait" I replied limp.
Ten minutes later, the door was knocked. I stood up and took the children out of the house. I left my son to the next door neighbor who now works as a housekeeper in my house. Since I was pregnant, Mas Randi hired a housekeeper so I wouldn't get tired. Moreover, I am pregnant with weak contents.
I walked while grimacing with the stomach ache. Bang Rendra was about to lead me but I refused.
"Sorry Bang" I said.
"Well, I'm sorry" he replied.
Bang Rendra opened the front door on the left. I went in by myself.
I'm going into the ER. Immediately checked by a doctor. The doctor said, My fetus almost fell, I almost miscarried but luckily, I immediately went to the hospital so my fetus was still helped.
*****
Ever since the doctor said I was about to miscarry I contacted Mas Randi, alu was very afraid of anything happening to our future child.
Randi's number is off. I sent a message to the green app with only one tick.
I've contacted him many times but he's still inactive.
"Bang, can you please call Ririn, tell Mas Randi that if I am in the hospital I will be hospitalized. Mas Randi's number is off" I told Bang Rendra.
"Oh yes Mba. I call first yes, Ririn" Bang Rendra replied quickly.
Then Bang Rendra called and spoke on the phone. After that it approached me.
"Kata Ririn, Mas Randi has slept Ma'am" said Bang Rendra.
I breathed a rough breath. This is what it feels like to share a husband, when he needs his presence but not always able to be present.
"I have to hospitalize Bang, there is no way that Brother is accompanying me. I'm confused Bang" I said.
"Oh yes I told Bude Rusmi yes who accompanied Ma'am, Bude Rusmi my household assistant. Let me sleep outside." Bang Rendra.
"Yes can. Sorry Bang I've been troublesome" I replied.
"I picked up Bude Rusmi first yes Ma'am for a moment" said Mas Randi.
"Yes Bang" I replied.
Twenty minutes later Bang Rendra had arrived with Bude Rusmi. I got permission to go to bed, because I was already very sleepy.
At half past seven in the morning I had breakfast fed by Bude Rusmi. Bude Rusmi is so nice. Bude Rusmi tells a lot about his son and about his family in the village. I was a little amused by his presence.
Minutes later, the sound of the door opening. It turns out Mas Randi. Mas Randi came with a hurry and an anxious face. Hugging me and kissing my forehead, her tears were dripping down my forehead.
"Sorry Mas ya Dek, Mas can't be a standby husband. Mas wrong Deck" said Mas Randi sobbing.
I smile. Mas Randi took the plate from Bude Rusmi's hand then Mas Randi bribed me.
"Gak papa Mas. Thank God our baby candidate survived" I said.
The sound of the door opening. Bang Rendra's. Mas Randi looked at Bang Rendra as if he did not like it.
"Sorry Mas, last night Adek wanted to contact Mas but Adek was afraid to disturb, Mas is still a newlywed, so Adek asked Bang Rendra to help the hospital, Adek did not dare to drive himself. Continue until Adek hospital contact Mas number is not active" said I explained.
"Thank you Bang, already my wife Nolongin" said Mas Randi to Bang Rendra.
"Yes, we are both" replied Bang Rendra.
Then Bang Rendra and Bude Rusmi went home. I would like to thank Bang Rendra and Bude Rusmi.
"Mas told Ririn to go to the store, Mas was afraid that Ririn would come here" said Mas Randi.
In the afternoon I can go home. Mas Randi drove me home.
Today Mas Randi is still on schedule at Ririn's house. I sent Mas Randi to Ririn's house. With a heavy heart, Mas Randi left.
******
I looked all over my house. Very quiet. I miss Mas Randi. Back then, there was still no contract day without joking and telling stories. Now I have to wait three days.
To get rid of the saturation, I opened a cake shop next to my grocery store. I hired two female employees.
It's good to drive away I thought. Than at home. Children often I take to the store here spacious can for children to play.
*****
It's been two weeks. I've gotten used to the absence of Mas Randi every three days. This morning Mas Randi was scheduled to go home. The kids are at my mom's.
Sandy came home in a hurry. As usual, he came and hugged me. But this time it carried me to the room carefully.
"Dec, Mas can ya now" the code from Mas Randi invites me to make out.
I'm nagging. I must remain a devout wife.
When finalized. Mas Randi spoke
"Mas hasn't touched Ririn, Deck. It's not ready yet. I'm afraid Ririn is pregnant" said Mas Randi suddenly.
I'm aghast
"Mas should not be like that, Ririn Mas's wife as well. Must be given a living born and inner as well" I said.
"Mas can't Deck yet" replied Mas Randi.
I just shut up. Poor Ririn. However, Ririn is already Mas Randi's legal wife.
