Pariban So Rokkap

Between my wife and Micah

Netta was standing at my door with my aunt and older sister Eva who is currently pregnant with her first child, sister Eva did not attend our wedding because she is currently eight months pregnant, so he did not come home.

“Lah, you how Than, this Netta you live, you mean, he wants to sleep where?” ask aunt.

“Oh, jeez I forgot,” I said patting my own jidat.

“Hadeh, just yesterday had a wife already forgotten, will be this heavy,” Said Arnita chimed in

“Don't know, Nathan,” said Eva's sister's hand rubbed her distended stomach, Eva's sister since she was pregnant her chatter rate increased drastically.

“I just want to shower auntie, here come in, there you all..!” I said throw away those chatty women.

I helped her pull Netta's suitcase, I knew she must be awkward getting into someone else's room.

“Let's Ta, this is our room,” I said, put the suitcase my one hand held firmly the towel I wrapped around my waist, I don't want the towel to come off making my little wife surprised later.

I know this little girl is not ready to do her job as a wife.

“Iya bang,” but his eyes do not want to look at me, he chose to look the other way.

“You just sort your stuff out, it's here for me, I think your clothes still fit inside.”

“Iya bang.”

Kriii

Criings

As I explained the state of my room to Netta, Micah called.

“I want to shower first yes, I already had time to take a shower earlier.”

“Iya,’ he nodded.

“But you can change your clothes first? It smells bad making my head dizzy.”

“Iya bang, brother enter first I will definitely change,” he looked down embarrassed.

Because the incident on the plane today was so embarrassing for him. But actually we could understand if only he said it first to us if it was the first time he boarded a plane.

But honey, Netta didn't do it.

I went back into the bathroom.

“Halo darling.”

“You still want to take my phone, I thought you had forgotten me,” Micah's voice was like a cry, making my heart sad.

“I miss you baby, wait for me there, I'm coming, yes.”

“I miss you too, come here,” Micah said on the other end of the phone.

No need to linger in the bathroom, I went out, Netta sat in a chair near my desk, again she read a book.

“Hobby read a book,” I said.

He turned to me for a moment, suddenly his face flushed red because I was only wearing a towel, but his nervousness and awkwardness he could hide with his calm demeanor.

“You can take a shower, I'm done.”

He nodded and brought his change of clothes to the bathroom. I made an appointment to see Micah.

But when Netta came out of the bathroom, I thought it was my deal to ask her for permission to come out, if I asked Eva's sister for permission she would investigate, if to aunty he will fret and get angry, if he says goodbye to the bontot who is there he crowed until morning, his chattering for forgiveness.

The only way to Netta, I want to say goodbye to her, reason to meet my friends, just want to, want to talk.

Tok.Tok...

The sound of the room door, the Jabir was already standing there, I don't know what the boy thought, his eyes looked at us alternately, especially when he saw Netta had just finished shampooing her hair.

“What?”

“Abang equals Eda awaited under.”

“Whose name?”

Oh, such is the tradition if there is a newly married family in the village, and the bride returns to Jakarta. Family and friends who did not attend the party will come and bring gifts if not envelopes to congratulate.

When it came down some were waiting for us. Not wanting to be disrespectful. I was forced to cancel my meeting with Micah again and I was forced to turn off my phone, because there were already many families coming up to night.

I was so tired from the trip from the village today.

“I slept first yes, Tan tired bangat,” ask permission to sleep first.

“Alright, there, take Netta all of you.”

But, suddenly approaching and whispering something, I thought something important turned out he was just joking.

“Pelan-pelan bro, pity bini loe is still small,” whispered Agus my friend, he chuckled.

“Basic is there.”

No matter the look of my family and friends I let go to sleep first, because I was already very tired. Tired heart, tired body, tired brain.

Netta was coming too, but I knew she looked scared.

“We need to talk for a while,” invites Netta to speak four eyes telling her to sit down. “You still remember’ right our agreement?,” I stared with a serious look, hoping he understood.

“Iya bang, remember,” said but with his face down he looked very shy.

“As I said in the village back then, I won't take care of you personally and neither will I.”

I took a deep breath, before continuing our conversation, I saw Netta's face looking pale and frightened.

I don't know what he's thinking and what scares him, I hope, he doesn't think anything.

“Netta’ put it this way.. ‘ I have not been able to love you, I need time and familiarize myself to our current situation and, you know what I mean, right? So you need not fear, we will find a suitable campus for you to study I will keep my promise.”

“I understand bang, I'll do the same Brother.”

“I mean not so, Ta, at the moment the situation is , I just need time, that's all,” I said trying to explain.

“Alright, I did everything you told me,” again that word again he said, I can catch that he really resigned and depended on me.

“Netania’ is not like that I mean but.. never mind, the point is that this is a secret for both of us, I'm sure tomorrow morning people –people in this house, will ask you many things including the night, don't say anything, it's better to be quiet if you don't ask me.”

“Iya bang”

“bed.”

Again, he kept his eyes quiet and looked at me.

“I'll sleep on the couch, you just sleep on my bed, it's not unusual to sleep with other people in one bed,” I said, it's obviously one lie, it's one lie, I'm just not ready to sleep with Netta.

“Let me sleep the sofa just bang , I'm used to it, in the village also we sleep on the board.”

“I don't want to argue, I'm very sleepy and very tired, sleep in bed and I sleep on the sofa, don't forget to lock the door, don't let anyone else know this,” said I was lying on a long sofa in my room.

“iya bang.”

My eyes are tired, but this heart wants to go somewhere else, my mind is still on MIkha. I turned my phone back on Micah's message making me sleepless. I was forced to wake up again Netta had fallen asleep, probably because the trip today made her tired.

The clock's already showing 23:00, Auntie hasn't slept.

I took the car keys and went downstairs.

“Tan, I want to meet a friend about our project, there is a problem,” I said hurriedly.

“Can't be tomorrow? It's already night.”

“Today is the deadline, if you wait until tomorrow, he breaks our relationship,” I said.

My tantric eye brows lifted.

A white Porsche cayman walks down the street until he arrives at Micah's apartment.
