Not the Ideal Husband

Why is Miss Angry??

Sofia's words ignited anger in Wawan. The man's hand hanging in the air almost created a bad memory on his wife's cheek.

"You slap? Just slap it," Sofia challenged even giving her cheeks happily.

Bugh. The hand landed on the patch right beside Sofia's cheek.

"This is how you want to get divorced? It turns out that the decision to marry you was a mistake" said Wawan with a cynical smile and a cold tone. Sofia was flabbergasted to hear Wawan's unusual remarks.

After saying a sentence that must have been painful for Sofia, Wawan went to the bathroom. Finished from the bathroom Wawan saw Sofia still in the same place with an empty view. But he was reluctant to approach and preferred to go to the mosque.

The sound of the door closing made Sofia turn her head but was reluctant to move. Half his soul like Wawan brought me out of nowhere.

While in the mosque after performing prayers, Wawan sat down. Should he just give up here. It seems like Sofia's heart is so hard to knock on.

"Kang Wan?" The imam of the mosque greeted and sat down near Wawan. "healthy? Just looked again."

"Alhamdulillah, ustadz, now it is better," replied Wawan with a smile.

"Thank God, may you always be given the way and ease in every job."

After praying, Wawan just returned home. Sofia was no longer there. The smell of food came from the kitchen. His wife was preparing food. She looked over when she realized her husband was coming home. No greeting, no apology. Not unaware of the mistake but that's how women are, there is a sense of prestige to apologize first.

"I still keep my promise, it's up to eat or not," said Sofia who saw her husband even roll out the mattress and lay down the body.

The words were not touched by Wawan, he chose to close his eyes.

Being tired of cooking but not being appreciated is very sad, that's what Sofia is feeling right now.

This silent action happened until the following days. But Wawan although silent does not mean indifference. He prepared breakfast and washed clothes before leaving for work. Always visit the wife's room every night even though just sitting and staring at the face that sleeps. Make sure that his wife is okay.

When she heard the room handle play, Sofia immediately let her go to pretend to sleep. She wanted to know what her husband was doing.

Half an hour had passed until the door handle sounded like it was playing, she did not listen to any words spoken from her husband.

"Later afternoon walimatul khitannya son of A Dani, you came right?" ask Sofia. In the end he restarted after a nearly three-day truce.

"Maybe not. You must be ashamed of me." Wawan replied without looking, he was busy drying clothes. Routine every morning so that the house is always clean and tidy.

Sofia lowered her head, momentarily processing the words and then looked back at the husband who was behind her. "I'm sorry."

A little turned around just to make sure what Wawan heard. Did his wife really apologize? Now they look at each other but Sofia immediately looks down when she feels the vibration due to the eyes.

"I'm sorry, so you have to come. Don't let your father realize this. I don't want to get scolded anymore."

Wawan went inside the house after raising his shoulders in response. Breakfast then leaves.

Time goes by so fast without many realizing it. Many of the inhabitants of the earth are so busy with the world. Work, work, work and have fun.

Not a few who define gratitude for life is by having fun. Even the bed that has not been halal much visited. Under the pretext of life it is only for a while so just enjoy what is in sight now. Forgetting that the real life is after the body and life are no longer united.

Busy Wawan in pursuing the world solely to fulfill the obligation as a husband who must make a living, making him forget that his wife invites to attend the event his sister-in-law. This brings anxiety to Sofia. Several times he turned to the door, hoping the husband came and the people around him no longer asked where Wawan was.

"The lady hasn't come yet?" ask Dani who is holding the youngest. God also asked the same thing. So Sofia feels that she is being held by two weapons that will at any time separate the body from life.

"Yet. He said there's still a lot of work he said needs to finish today."

Dani nodded, "Well when you come tell me to meet 'Aa, yes!" dani said before greeting relatives and distant relatives who were willing to come to meet his invitation.

"Swoooo." There was a sigh of relief from Sofia's lips. "Just be careful if it really doesn't come."

A message he received from the same number who at that time sent a photo of Wawan and Rahma. This time there is no Rahma, only the photo shows Wawan who is standing in front of the gate of Rahma's house.

(Two people who love each other will not be easily separated even though a wall becomes a barrier.) That's how the message is.

(You should have realized Sofia, that you were just the place to run for a while. Soon he will return to his real home. Rahmas. I still see love in your husband's eyes for his girl Mr. Lurah.)

Sofia squeezed her hand after reading a barrage of messages from that number. Especially until the time has passed but Wawan never come. Don't blame him if the green flies end up on food that starts to rot.

Wawan himself returned home after helping Teh Ai deliver orders to Pak Lurah's house. He took a shower and followed his wife to Dani's house.

"That night, Wan?" greet Pak Yanto who is clearing the stage for the study event which will be held in two hours.

"Yes, that was the order of Mr. Lurah, sir. Neng is inside?"

"So, just go in. Eat first, haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Wawan nodded then went in and met his wife. The wry face of a few days ago is now visible again. The difference now was not directly shouting like that time.

"Where was it?" ask Sofia while offering food.

"Nganter order Pak Lurah from Teh Ai. A little long wait because at Mr. Lurah's house there's no one." Wawan answered while enjoying his dinner. Obviously he felt hungry because he had only eaten this morning before leaving for work. "Don't get angry here, yeah, at home."

Sofia who was collecting swear words turned her head. How could Wawan think like that, Sofia murmured in her heart.

"Shuuut, just later." Wawan stopped the lips that were about to say what.

"Wan, uh again eat ya." Dani approached her sister-in-law. In his hand there is a file wrapped in yellow mica paper.

"It's over now, why 'A?"

"This is asking for help bringing this to Mr. Lurah's house."
