Patience of My Husband

-

We were busy preparing dinner. Sate shrimp and Beef steak are ready to serve. Just waiting for fries and other complementary foods. I told Alda and Firna to continue.

I approached Luna who was sitting alone with a plate of shrimp satay in my hand "Honey, your favorite food is ready. Usually it comes first. Kok tumben nih do not want cicipin"

Luna just shook her head and made me go awry maybe she was angry because I ignored her. " Luna is angry with her aunt, because she ignored Luna, Aunt is sorry, baby" I put the plate I was holding.

"Auntie is not wrong. That's not what makes Luna sad. Luna is sad to be home tonight. Luna doesn't want a lonely aunt. If Luna comes home, Arka works, then who is Aunt?"

"Geez, baby, you don't have to think about it, there's still Oma. Aunty will busy themselves with learning to cook, learn to make cakes, Aunty can also go for a walk so as not to get bored at home. After all, every weekend, Arka will bring Luna here. We can play again. So now Luna should not be sad. Aunty is okay" I explained.

Such a child can already think of the happiness of others. He doesn't want me to feel lonely. Until sad like gini.

"But really, is Aunt okay if Luna comes home?" Ask Luna to make sure.

I also nodded. "Yes, baby" And then I hugged her.

After taking off my arms, Luna stood up and took the plate I had placed beside me. "If so Luna so relieved and now Luna want to eat"

I laughed at her behavior, as did Alda and Firna, who noticed our conversation.

"Udah ca, your splinter has a child so that someone is joking around like a gini" Sahut Firna.

"Wait for Fir. Don't you want to either?" I asked back and nudged him.

"It really wants. But I will, wait for something" he replied.

"Hoo peot lu" Alda chimed.

"Have you spoken" protested Firna.

"Eh ca, your man is coming" Alda pointed with a gesture of the eye aimed towards my back. I also looked up to follow his eyes. It's true Arka walked towards me.

Arka approached me and said an apology. "Sad sorry, I came home a little late. I wanted to hang up, but my phone was lowbatt. Sorry yes" he said.

"Honey, it's okay, besides the cooking is also just finished. Just keep putting it up." I answered with my sweetest smile.

"Thank God that's it. Let me help you prepare, will you?" Arka tried to offer herself. I just nodded too.

One by one the food is served on the carpet that has been prepared. After everything was presented, I told Arka to call Luna's father to join. But unfortunately Luna's father did not want to.

We enjoyed this dinner together with jokes and laughter that I hadn't had with my friend in a long time. After marriage, I never hang out again. Because Arka always forbids me. But I know, he's doing this for my own good, too. Arka does not want me to return to the night world that has no benefit. While Arka always gives support for positive things.

"Why are you ?" My voice broke my mind. I looked towards the mama who was holding onto Alda's shoulder. My eyes moved towards Alda. Face lowered. But it was obvious that he was sobbing. I was so surprised to see him suddenly sob.

I put a spoon and fork on my plate. "Why you?" I asked while rubbing his back.

I glanced towards Firna trying to ask with a blink of an eye. Firna shrugged both of her shoulders at the same time. Which means he himself doesn't know what happened to Alda.

"Gue is okay. I just miss my family" Alda rubbed his cheeks in turn.

"Why do you suddenly remember your family" I asked.

"Gue kangen ca equals them. I want to eat with my family, even if only once. I want to hug them too." Alda spoke with lirih. My eyes also glazed over to see Alda like this.

As long as I was friends with him this time I saw his tears. Among my many friends, Alda is the strongest to face all things. I didn't think he had a weak side, either.

"Ca, I'm asking one thing for you." Alda.

"What?" My toot.

"Can I ask for a hug with your in-laws?"

"Geez, you are here. Of course I can. Kirain wants anything"

Mamah hugged Alda and rubbed her hair. "Take this aunt as your mama. You can also come here as often as possible. Want to eat together, want to sleep here too can. All of you, Caca's friends, Aunty thinks of as Aunt's son". Alda nodded.

"You don't have to be sad anymore. Let's continue eating again" said Arka. We went back to eating each other.

After dinner, Luna and her father decided to go home. It feels like living far away. Though my house and Luna's house only traveled with less than an hour. They also separated for less than a week. But it feels like really in a long stay. But luckily I was still able to hide my sadness in front of Luna. Trying to keep smiling in front of him.

I drove Luna up in front of the garage "Be careful, baby" I said when she was on the bike. Luna waved her hand. I kept staring at him until his shadow disappeared behind the gate.

"That's the bike you bought?" I asked Arka.

"Yes, there's another one in the garage" Arka pointed out.

"Good bike" I said.

"It's a new bike, baby. I was gonna get some credit. But after I thought, just buy some cash." Arka.

"It's okay, it's better that way" I replied.

Mom is still sitting talking to my friends. I even saw Alda so close to you.

"Eh Ca, I'm sorry yes I keep sticking with your in-laws" Alda said as soon as he realized I was sitting down and joining them.

"It's okay, I'm even looking at you like gini. I want to share my mom with you. But I don't want to share a husband" Ledekku.

"Yes no. It's crazy if I or Firna reach your man. We are a fuckin' girl. Is it not fir?" Alda stared intently at Firna. While Firna just nodded while chewing the snacks in front of her.

"Thank you, you are my best friends." My speech.

"Well, my mom take a break. It was night, the air outside was also quite cold" Pinta Arka told mamah.

"Yes already if so stay yes" said mamah. Then he said goodbye to rest.

Alda and Firna decided to stay at my house. But they refused to sleep in the room. They want to sleep in the tent. And of course I accompanied them.

"Lu's got Al's guitar. Take it there, we sing with yuk" Firna cried.

"Oh yes I forgot. Just take it first" Alda immediately stood up and took the guitar that was still stored in the car. Shortly thereafter Alda returned with a guitar in his hand.

"Can you play guitar?" Ask Arka.

"He is good at playing his guitar. You know that I'm sad again, Alda plays guitar and I sing" I replied with a laugh.

"What the hell lu. Ordinary time" Alda protest.

"I'd like to request a song, wouldn't I?" I asked Alda.

"You want what ?" Ask Alda.

"Okay, but you're the one who's singing, because I'm not familiar" Alda started playing his guitar and I followed him with a song of my choice. Firna also followed me singing. Arka just watched.

🎶**Lost in your mind

I wanna know

Am I losing my mind?

Never let me go🎶

🎶If this night is not forever

At least we are together

I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone

Anywhere, whenever

Apart, but still together

I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone🎶

🎶I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone🎶

🎶Unconscious mind

I'm wide wake

Wanna feel one last time

Take my pain away🎶

🎶If this night is not forever

At least we are together

I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone

Anywhere, whenever

Apart, but still..🎶***

"It turns out you guys are talented, especially you love, the sound is really good" Arka laughed and clapped after the song was finished.

"Darling, don't make me feel ashamed" I said.

"Can I play guitar?" Ask Arka.

"Darling, can you play guitar?" I was a little surprised.

"Still learning baby, do not be laughed at if it is wrong" said Arka. Alda gave his guitar to Arka.

"If you want to follow the singing may be okay, but this song is a bit old from an Indonesian band. I can't sing a western song." Arka

*🎶Let time keep turning

Loving you is patient

Despite this heartache you left behind

I'm sincere to survive🎶

🎶My love for you is so great

But you can never feel

Despite this heartache you left behind

I'm sincere to survive🎶

🎶You left me without feeling

Until I drop a tear

My disappointment is so directionless

Let me survive🎶

🎶Never try to change

It is not easy that the beautiful is gone

Never try to change

Not to mention the beautiful lost already🎶***

We were dissolved by the song that Arka was singing. The song he plays with a slower tone. And also his guitar quotes that match his song. I was so surprised to hear that. It turns out Arka can play the guitar even his voice is so soft.

"Why so bengong all this" Tegur Arka when he saw the three of us quietly carried away.

"Darling, why didn't you tell me you could play guitar?" My toot.

"You are not dear" replied Arka so lightly.

"Bang, it turns out to be true, said people that men can play guitar most men are romantic with their partners" said Firna.

"It's true, but I'm not romantic" replied Arka.

"At some point I don't like being too romantic" I protested.

We continued to sing and play guitar playing Alda and Arka alternately. Spend the night together full of joy.
