Patience of My Husband

Patience of My Husband
-



My eyes blinked many times as I woke up from my sleep. I see things around me. The atmosphere was quiet, there was no one in the room. There was only a gust of wind entering through the door gap. The glass door divides my room with a balcony that I deliberately open a little so that there is fresh air coming in.


I try to get up and sit cross-legged. My whole body feels all sore. Especially feet. Maybe because I was jogging this morning. Before I get up, I do a little movement in my hands and feet before standing up. Then I went to the bathroom to wash my face.


A little while later I immediately went out of the room to look for Luna as well as Arka. Arriving in the living room I saw mamah who was busy arranging drinks on the tray.


"Darling, are you awake?" Greet me when I see you coming down the stairs.


"Yes mah, Luna the same Arka where, why are they not in the room, here also they are not visible." I asked with eyes that continue to circulate the view to various corners of the room.


"They're on the page" replied Mom.


"Oohh. Kok tumben them there. And then there's a lot of drinks mah, there are guests?" I asked while looking towards the living room which was quiet.


"That makes Luna the same friends you love, they're thirsty she said." Mamah


"Huh..my friend? who?" I can see hearing it.


"Yes your friend, But Mamah does not know what his name is, they are on the same page Luna" said Mama again while lifting the tray earlier.


I immediately ran ahead of Mamah's footsteps. And it's true what I said, Mom, there's a friend of mine. Alda and Firna.


"Hi.. y'all here don't tell me first" Sapaku hugged Alda.


"How are you?" Ask Alda.


"Good" Then I hugged Firna.


"This is why you're here, what's the story?" Ask again.


"Gue same Alda got an invitation, yes we have just come. Especially if the invitation is to eat." Firna laughing.


"Invitation? What invitation?" I started to wonder what Firna said.


"I invited them dear, is it okay for them to eat together here?" Arka approached me and kissed the top of my head.


"Yes, of course, honey, they're my friends. I can't possibly forbid them from coming here. In fact I want to say thank you to you, have invited them here" I replied, and my hands were writhing spoiled in his arms.


"Hmmm.gini if people are in love. Don't see things around. There are small children and also singles acutely, but still very friendly." Ledek Alda's. I was embarrassed and my cheeks seemed red.


"Let's have a drink first, Auntie has made a cold drink. It must be a lot" Mamah put the tray on the table.


"Omaaa... Luna wants. Luna is thirsty." Luna immediately stood up and ran over to Mamah. He was busy helping Arka set up the tent. Even my arrival was ignored by him. Luna immediately gulped down the drink provided by mamah. Then come back to help Arka without greeting me.


"Ca, are you pregnant yet?" Alda whisperer.


"What the hell. How's nanyain?" My protest.


"I am nanya. You don't want to have children" asked Alda again.


"Dengerin yes. I'm the same Arka didn't procrastinate to have children. I'm the same Arka both really want to have children. Besides I'm the same marriage arc not too long ago. It is natural that you are not pregnant. It's easy for children to make doughnuts" Gertutuku.


"Yes, too" Alda scratched his head which was indeed not itchy.


"Tante saw that the houses were huge. Luna wants to bob inside." Luna showed me the tent that was finished.


"Well yes, it's huge. Yeah, it's booby there. Aunty wants to prepare grilled shrimp for Luna. later if you wake up immediately eat yes" said my


"Yeeeeeeeeee.. aasiiikk" Luna jumped up in excitement and immediately entered the tent.


I saw Arka coming with two fans in both hands. "Darling, why two gini?" my many.


"One makes it in the tent, and the other makes us not to overheat" he replied.


So much attention Arka to Luna. Although Luna is not our son. But his affection was like a father's affection for his son. What good is there in you Arka, my mind.


Alda patted me on the shoulder "Eh daydreamed of you. Help me make a steak"


"Are you all planning this?" My toot.


Alda put his mouth close to my ear. "Not me, but your man"


"Fortunately you got a man like him Ca. Try me who got a guy like that. It feels perfect for my life" Gerrutu Firna who was suddenly among us.


"Ngaco lu, who there is also a run first if you look at you" said Alda.


"There's still no huh, man like bang Arka?" Firna continued to grumble with eyes that looked up.


"Woy, wake up. dream of your height" Alda patted Firna's cheek like waking a sleeping person.


Suddenly Arka said from behind us "Emang what is your dream Fir?"


The three of us were so misbehaved and banged each other with elbows. "This is bang, again fantasizing, if dreams could come true" replied Firna nervously.


"Keep trying dong" replied Arka lightly.


"Bang, about Brother has a twin, if you have known dong bang let me make a husband directly, right now. I also want to have a husband like bang A cute, kind, and understanding Arka" said Firna without shame. I turned towards Arka looking at her facial expression. Arka just frowned.


"Honey, miss Firna's words. His soul is disturbed because of his girlfriend's stay, so yes gini his words like to digress" I said.


"Yes bang, actually said Caca. Firna is indeed disturbed" Sahut Alda.


"Look, I'm still sane" Firna replied in an annoyed tone.


"Hahaha, you guys are, there's just that" Arka laughed and left the three of us.


We continue to prepare some food that will be baked later. Sometimes we joke, argue with each other, laugh again, feel annoyed but briefly return to laughing. This is us with all different attitudes and traits. But that was not a barrier to our friendship. Even if we get angry at each other, it won't last long.


"Whoever" Firna pointed with her eye gesture. My eyes were fixed on the eyes of hers . From a distance, I saw Luna's father walking towards me. I know the intention of his arrival, He came with the intention of picking up Luna to go home. I'll just tell you that Luna is sleeping. And I told him to wait for Luna to wake up. I don't want to wake Luna. It was with pleasure that Luna's father agreed.


Before long Arka came and talked to Luna's father a short distance away from me, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about. I don't know what they were talking about, after they spoke Arka came to me and asked for permission to go somewhere.


"Not long has it gone? before dinner, go home" I said


"God willing, dear. When it's done, go straight home. I'll tell ya later" he said.


I kissed her hand on the goodbye and as usual Arka always kissed me on the forehead before she left.


After Arka left, Firna and Alda started to tease me. "Hmmm... Add envy I see it" Gerutu Firna.


"Silence just mouth restless lu see they are friendly. You know I'm not exactly the same, I'm envious" Alda said in a whining voice that was deliberately made up. And I just laughed seeing them.


"From you guys like gini, mending you guys get married. Let there be a place for you to complain. Sharing happiness and also sharing sadness." My speech.


"Huuu, now you can say gini. Remember, who wants to run away the day after Ijab kabul. Who also exchanges honeymoon packages for double bad, then who has already thrown dowry in the trash can . If you inget it, there is no regret in your heart" Alda remarked that so stupid of me.


I fell silent, if I remember all that, not only the regret that there is. But also the heartache of hurting Arka who has been willing to sacrifice her life and love to obey my papa's will. If I remember that, it feels like I want to sink myself to the bottom of the sea. How stupid of me to judge Arka with just one eye. Assess it materially. Because from the beginning I thought that he was doing this all because of money.


But now I realized that Arka wasn't the man I thought she was. Arka was a loving, trusting, and responsible man. If only I had known his nature from the beginning, I probably wouldn't have done the stupidity that would have haunted my entire mind up to this point.


"Ca, daydream" Firna patted me on the back and broke my daydream.


Alda wiped away my tears that I had unknowingly already dripped past my cheeks. Then Alda hugged me "I'm sorry, I've missed your stupid moments" Firna also embraced.


"Waahhh, what's this cuddling up." Mom's voice surprised me. We also let go of our embrace. I patted my cheeks so I wouldn't look like I was crying.


"Tante, make a surprise. We're kangen-kenan tan. Now I rarely see Caca." Sahut Alda gave an excuse.


"Why not play here, you come here if you have time" said Mama while arranging snacks in front of us.


"Aunty far away, tired in the street" Firna also voted.


"Just go here. You don't work, do you?" Ask mama.


"I work Auntie" Sahut Alda.


"Oohh, where's work?" Ask mama again.


"In Tan's auto repair shop." Alda replied timidly.


"In the workshop? That's a man's job" Sahut mamah.


"Stranquil aunty, even though Alda chick but his strength is not less than the same as the rude worker. That's why he's also very durable. Guys are afraid to take it" Firna laughed, and without a word Alda stuffed Firna's mouth with the peppers in front of her.


Mom laughed at their silly behavior as well as me.


"Whatever his important work is halal, dear, so that the blessings of the afterlife" said mamah while rubbing Alda's black hair.


"Yes Aunty" Sahut Alda.

I hope all this goes away quickly and is back to normal. So that we can return to learning, working and worship as before.
