My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Miscomprehension

In the morning Aleta is looking for a busy day by trying to cook her favorite food in the kitchen. After an hour of struggling in the kitchen, it has been presented at the table vegetable lodeh, dried fish shoes, shrimp crackers and fried chicken.

"Hhmm.., very delicious aroma of cooking dear. I can't wait to taste it" said Devan, who was suddenly standing behind Aleta.

Aleta did not heed her husband's whereabouts, she continued to wash the cookware and clean the kitchen.

"Once again, leave everything. Let aunt Puji come here to clean up everything." Devan kept trying to get Aleta to talk. From waking up until now, not a word Aleta asked him to speak.

Aleta remained silent and continued to clean the kitchen. Feeling dead of style, Devan takes reckless action. Suddenly Devan tightly hugged Aleta's body from behind, then placed his lips on his wife's neck. Occasionally Devan breathed on his wife's neck, then blew his earlobe.

"Ah., let go of the mas. Amused." said Aleta. Devan finally got his wife talking. Devan came up with an idea for a prank to prank his wife. Without answering, Devan shifted his lips behind Aleta's ears, then took a slow bite of her.

"It's been ., it's been mas, stop it... Aleta's hungry." said Aleta innocently. With anxiety, Devan finally releases his wife.

"Prepare breakfast mas also yes, mas want to eat your cooking" said Devan.

"Yes, wait a minute. What do you want to make me drink." asked Aleta who finally returned to serve her husband.

"Beautiful tea is hot, just like you." said Devan.

Aleta then prepared a hot sweet tea, and arranged the cutlery for her husband.

"Why don't you tell me you're back in Bandung" Devan asked quietly.

"If Aleta had told her, Aleta would not have caught a husband who was being groped by another woman" Aleta replied.

Devan smiled anxiously at the innocence and cute attitude of his wife. He felt proud and happy to see his wife have jealousy towards him.

"You're jealous of me" asked Devan, teasing his wife.

"No, Aleta can also find other men. Aleta is young, Devan is old. Fascination." Aleta said as long as she talked.

"That's right, indeed you dare to leave Devan. Let's say old mas, but stamina beats young dear." said Devan increasingly lusting after his wife.

"Why not dare. Aleta has friends too. Young, eleven twelve equals Ariel. Know yesterday, Aleta entered the apartment was presented with a view of people groping each other, mending Aleta go with Irvan" said Aleta keceplosan talk.

"Irvan...., is your friend the supplier of materials at Joni's boutique?" devan asked with a sharp look towards Aleta.

"Yes, why is it. He's more compatible with Aleta, he doesn't like heart disease, either." Aleta said praising Irvan.

Devan suddenly felt his emotions rising, but Aleta did not stop telling him about Irvan.

"Aleta, I don't like it if you're still in touch with that guy." suddenly Devan spoke in a high tone.

Aleta flinched, then looked at her husband's face.

"What's wrong Irvan mas, he was always polite and very appreciative of Aleta. Never once did Irvan harass Aleta"

"Remember Aleta, you're a married woman. There are limits to a wife that you should never break" Devan said.

"Serus Aleta wants nanya mas, is there a limit of a husband, is it only applicable to the wife." Aleta dared to ask her husband back.

"Did Aleta have to be quiet forever, watching her husband bring another woman into the house, when his wife was not home?"

"Is the husband allowed to be groped by another woman?"

"When there is a ban, there is a limit for a wife. In this city Aleta just had one friend. Irvan has always been polite, never the tip of Irvan's fingernails trying to harass Aleta. Is that also a limitation and a ban for Aleta." Aleta expressed her frustration and heart to Devan.

Devan was very surprised by Aleta's reaction. Finally Devan took a breath, then approached Aleta and grabbed his wife's tiny body.

"Excuse me dear, outrageous mas today." Devan slowly wiped Aleta's tears.

"As jealous, you can't watch your wife with other men" he said again

Aleta is sobbing in Devan's chest.

"Woman name is Helena. We have nothing to do anymore. If you don't believe me, you can ask Grandpa or Rolland about Helena."

"Yesterday he suddenly came to this apartment when he was in the office. Worried that he was making a mess in the lobby, they took him into this apartment. Trust me honey, nothing happened between me and Helena."

Devan told Aleta all about Helena. How Helena ever left him, to make Devan hate all the women in his life. Until finally, Cokro's grandfather forced him to marry Aleta with arranged marriage.

"You believe the same mas," asked Devan gently as he cupped his hands on Aleta's cheeks.

Devan gently kissed Aleta on the forehead, then Aleta's eyes one by one.

"Trust Aleta, my heart is for you. Let's learn together, learn we complement each other and protect each other. You want to love." asked Devan to his little wife.

Aleta looked into Devan's eyes, and saw that there was seriousness in his eyes. Then Aleta nodded slowly.

"Thank you dear. Let's get some rice, hungry mas will eat breakfast" Devan said.

Aleta deftly prepared food on her husband's plate. They continued eating together in silence.

"Good day Aleta, yukk street." said a chat from Tata via the WhatsApp application.

"Siang, I know I'm in Bandung." Aleta asked.

"Yes, Devan told me you were alone in the apartment." said Tata.

"That means I can go out."

"Sane you. If your husband calls me, it's permissible. It means your husband trusts me." said Tata.

"But the way to where we are." asked Aleta.

"Company me to Jalan Riau yes. I'm gonna go get some clothes at the factory outlet. Cheap cheap you know, reject little ga pa pa, the important Oro goods. He.he..," said Tata

"Okay, pick me up at the apartment, or we'll meet there. Ntar I ride the ojek online." finally Aleta agreed to go alone with Tata.

"I'll just pick it up. Can be killed I'm the same Devan, if let his beautiful wife walk alone up Ojol. Your husband is possessive of knowing."

"Okay, now right. I'll get ready first."

"Yep, wait 15 minutes I get to your place. Bye Aleta's." Tata ended his chat.

"Bye Tata."

Finally Aleta today went with Tata to the factory outlet complex in Jln Riau.
