Not a Savings Woman

Not a Savings Woman
Ainaya's regret



A week has passed since the incident at the mall 


Haris was busy with office work until he often overtime and rarely went home. Let alone to relax with Jihan, eating alone is often late. 


On the sidelines of his busy life, he suddenly remembered Ainaya who had never contacted him. 


Many times Haris checked the phone screen. I wish there was a message or a call from his second wife. But in fact, the woman did not give any news at all. 


"What's up with Ainaya?" ask Haris to yourself. Leaning his back on his seat of greatness. Explain what happened to that woman. 


"It's probably just my feeling, if anything happened to her she would have called me." 


Haris continues her work, signing some files before going out to lunch. 


The noise from the phone stopped Haris's activity. He smiled as he grabbed his flat object.


However, instantly his face changed as he read the message from Jihan. 


"Where's dinner, Mas?" ask Jihan with a text message. 


"Outside, I happen to have a show for a while," replied Haris origin. 


"O, not papa. I'd like to meet a friend, too" Jihan replied again. 


Haris put down his phone without replying to the last message from his wife. Look at the clock in his hand. 


Unconsciously it was already lunchtime. He grabbed a suit and came out to Andik who seemed busy with a laptop screen. 


"I'll be a little late. If there is a guest tell him to wait," messages Haris while tidying up his suit. 


''OK, Mr.'' Andik bowed kindly to deliver Haris to the car. 


''If Jihan comes, just say I met a client, '' he said again from the car. 


Andik answered with a nod without a sound. Staring at Haris's car that started driving away from the office. 


About this hour Ainaya why?


Haris tapped his finger. He could not wait to meet the woman and make sure that there was nothing. 


I haven't bought him in a long time. 


Haris stopped by a nearby supermarket. He went inside and shopped his daily necessities. Remembering the snacks at home and also the groceries that are often purchased by the woman. 


''You have-there's a hell of a.'' The sound of laughter coming from behind the shelf made Haris turn his head. 


Both of his eyes were perfectly rounded looking at the woman who was standing not far from him. 


''Ainaya, why is he here?'' Hatis put the canned drink in place and approached the wife who appeared to be joking with a woman. 


''You're here, Nay?'' tanya Haris greeted kindly. 


Ainaya's smile dimmed instantly. He threw away face. Lazy if you have to deal with Haris. Moreover, remembering that time made him hurt. 


''It's none of your business.'' Pulling his best friend's hand to another place. 


Haris clenched his hand. Resisting emotions that begin to overflow. Ainaya's attitude really made him angry. 


''Husband, Nay?'' ask the woman who was with Ainaya. Glanced at Haris who was still pecking on the spot. 


Ainaya let out a long breath. ''No, he's wrong.'' 


Haris turned around and smiled cynically. Return all purchased items and exit. 


Wanna see when you survive without my money. 


Haris got into the car. His eyes were not diverted from Ainaya coming out of the supermakket. 


''I went home first, '' said Ainaya to her two best friends. He rode on the matic bike without looking at Haris. It was as if he did not know the man and chose silence. 


Haris follows Ainaya's motor from behind. 


Even though I'm not the wife you love, you shouldn't do that to me. You've gone too far. 


Ainaya sees Haris' car from the reflection of his motor rearview. He doesn't care about the man anymore. For him at this time the most important thing is the baby in the womb. 


Ainaya stopped his motorbike and rushed in. He went to the bathroom and changed his clothes. 


Haris went into the house and sat in the living room. Staring at Ainaya who passed by without greeting him. 


What's the matter with him, isn't he usually like this?


Haris closed his eyes. Waiting for the greeting from Ainaya who looked silent. 


Ainaya instead sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes staring blankly. There was no bright future in sight even he was like on the verge of darkness. 


I don't know how to behave, Mom? But if I remember that time my heart hurts.  


From the deepest recesses Ainaya could not bear to ignore Haris, but he had to do that to reduce the shackling pain. 


The sound of coughing from the outside made Ainaya aghast in shock. He immediately went out and took a glass of water and put it in front of Haris. 


''Sorry I didn't have time to make coffee, '' he said in a flat tone. 


Haris stood looking at Ainaya's face filled with annoyance.  


''What's the matter, Nay?'' tanya Haris.  


Ainaya smiled cynically. Folded both hands in front. He didn't want to argue, but his patience was over. Disappointment is too hard to swallow. 


''Why ''Why? If you have a feeling of knowing why,'' Pointing Haris' chest. 


''Baby, you never cared about me. I am only a statue that can bear children. Until you will never think I exist. You are more concerned about the barren Jihan than I am, Ainaya said at length. 


Braaakkk 


Haris punched the wooden cabinet that was beside him. Evaporating anger that is building up in the crown. 


''It's too bad you talk like that. Without me, your family would be homeless, without my father's help you wouldn't have surgery. And without me, your uncles and aunts have no home. Remember that." Pointing Ainaya's face. 


''Don't try to demand anything from me, '' he added with a rack of waist.  


As strong as Ainaya energy held back his tears that piled up in the fertilizer. He didn't want to look weak in Haris' eyes. Right, without the man's intervention maybe his family is nothing, but Haris shouldn't peel everything. As if treasure were everything.


"good. From now on I won't ask anything of you. But please respect me as the mother of your child" Ainaya said with trembling lips. 


Haris loosened the tie that strangled his neck, then threw his body in a very hard chair. 


"You prepare the food! I'm hungry" said Haris briefly. Not paying attention to Ainaya's request.


Ainaya rushed to the kitchen. He didn't want to make Haris even more angry. Not afraid of the man, but he appreciated his status which is currently still a husband. 


I don't know what you're thinking right now, Mom. May the presence of this child make you realize that I am more hurt. I sacrificed my future only for your happiness and so that you could have offspring.


When Ainaya had prepared the cooked food, Haris went without eating it.
