Patience of My Husband

-

I continued my breakfast when Arka was gone, a plate of yellow rice complete with his beige chicken and other side dishes. Feels good on my tongue, but my stomach doesn't agree. Because just a few mouthfuls, my stomach feels nauseous. Immediately I stopped my breakfast and sipped a glass of warm water.

I took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. I do it over and over again. Over time the nausea goes away on its own.

I gently rubbed the surface of my stomach "Why dear, why don't you want to maem?" Mumamku himself.

My phone is ringing. Mom called me.

"Hello mah....how are you?" My broom.

"Well baby, how are you baby, said Arka you still often nauseous huh?" Ask mama.

"Yes, it was just breakfast time again. It didn't end its eating. Pingin really finished the food."

"Patience yes dear, it is common when pregnant young usually until three months. When I was pregnant with Arka, my mother did not even want to eat rice at all until the lava."

"Keep if mamah does not eat rice, during pregnancy mamah eat what?" Askaqua.

"Please replace rice with cassava, yam, sometimes potatoes. But more often eat cassava because the father was the same grandfather Arka nanam cassava himself. Even mamah who usually do not like carrots so like to eat carrots until now. So if there is a change with food do not think too much. That's normal" explained Mama.

"Oh that's it, mah. My son would not eat rice either. Last morning eating yellow rice my stomach instantly nausea. But last night eating brownies out of one box at a time didn't feel nauseous at all." My speech.

"It is important that you stay patient, baby, take care of your health and also control your emotions so that you are not easily stressed" Mama's advice.

"Yes mah. Caca will take care of him"

Mama and I talked at length from A to Z. My mother-in-law cares about me so much. The various stories and advice he gave made me calmer. Before hanging up the phone mamah also told about Firna and also Alda. mamah said that they had never come out the night again. They spend more time at home, if not sleeping yes help mamah cook. That's better than them running around the night again.

After Mom hung up her phone call, I searched on google about the problem of getting pregnant young. Many people also experience changes due to pregnancy. One of those I've been through. Nausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy. Although this is normal, but for me it feels really amazing, because I have never experienced anything like this.

After searching, I put my phone on the table. I was bored in my room. There was no other activity I could do in the room other than sleeping and sitting idly. I decided to go for a fresh breeze.

Soon I change my clothes with clothes that can make me comfortable. A cotton hotpant and a white shirt that was much larger than my body.

I came out of the room with a purpose that was not necessarily direction. Just looking for a fresh breeze. While walking down the corridor, I thought that I would drink a cup of espresso at the hotel restaurant.

Arriving at the resto area, fresh wind blows freely on my face because the resto area is open. Perfect for relaxing, especially there is also a large swimming pool in the restaurant area.

There are not many people who bathe in the pool, because this is not a weekend. There are only a few people swimming. At the restaurant, only a few people were talking to drinks and snacks in front of them, because it was not time for lunch.

I ordered an espresso and also a snack. Really miss the hangout with my friends, it's been a long time I don't hang out with them, no longer hang out at the cafe even if just ordering coffee or beer.

I smiled at myself thinking about it. Because it felt so ridiculous that my life was before marriage.

I shaved the espresso in front of me "Can I sit here?" The familiar voice of a stranger in my ear. I haven't seen his face yet but I do recognize him. Silent in a few seconds. Until I finally dared to raise my face towards him.

"Farhan???" I muttered in disbelief.

Farhan pulled out a chair and sat opposite me "Yes, it's me. I hope you haven't forgotten me" he said.

Quietly, that's all I can do. It's real but it's like a dream, I can't believe I can see her again. The man I used to love so much, but I also hate.

"Why are you surprised like that, it's me, Farhan. The man you love so much" he said again trying to explain. I was still speechless unable to speak.

I quickly grabbed the phone I had placed next to the espresso cup and I stood up, wanting to leave it. But as fast as lightning he stood up and pulled my hand tightly. Bruukkkc.... Until I hit his chest.

"Where are you going, I'm here. I miss you so much, baby." His whisper next to my ear.

I pushed her body "Let me go. Take your hand off" I said with a slight growl.

"I'm not letting you go. I really miss you. I want to look at your face for a little longer. Because I haven't looked at you in a long time." Her speech.

"Our relationship is over, so don't bother me anymore. Take off or I'll scream." My threat.

"Why do you want everyone to know that we've been engaged?" Farhan said showing his ring finger. I was surprised why the engagement ring was still coiled around his finger.

"Let go of my hand" I said again

Farhan's eyes looked around, some people were looking at us with sharp eyes. Farhan slowly took off the grip of his hand. Without speaking again I ran away leaving him. While running down the corridor as often as I could look back, afraid that he was following me. Fortunately, he was not behind me. I paused for a moment. My breath is hunting, I take a deep breath and exhale it.

I look back again. Absolutely nothing, I breathe with relief. Then I walked faster back to my room.

Soon I open the door and I close it again. Behind the door I rested my body, drop by drop my tears fell. Sitting languidly behind the door, I clenched my legs in front of my chest. I put my face between my knees. I also cried so much.

"Darling, you.. have you come home?" I was shocked when I saw Arka already in front of me.

"Yes, I'm home. Aren't we going to see a doctor today?" Flat Ark.

The way Arka spoke looked different at the moment. Why didn't he ask me why I was crying, why didn't he ask me where I was from, why didn't he call me when he came home I wasn't in the room.

"Darling, I. I.." My speech was interrupted.

"Bring, after that rest. Because I'm tired too" said Arka softly.

Arka stood up and left me who was still sitting on the floor. In my mind there was a big question mark over Arka's attitude.

I walked past him lying on the bed with his eyes closed. But I know he hasn't slept.

In the bathroom, I washed my face. Then go back to the room to see Arka. I want to ask him everything. But I don't think this is the right time. I think he's having a hard time at the office. I better ask about his work.

"Dear" Call me, but there's no answer.

I tried to get close to him. I hugged his body.

"Darling, you haven't slept, have you?" Much

"Hmm" he replied with a murmur.

"Is there still a problem in the office?" Ask me again

"Nothing, all the office problems are in order" he replied.

"Keep why you're like gini. You are tired. Do you want me to go for a pijitin?" I tried to seduce him.

"No need to." Cold answer.

"Honey, if you have no problems in the office then why are you silent like this. Is there another problem? Then why did you come home without me, even when you entered the room I was not there you do not want to come to me, no worry"

"What's your guts for, if I know where you're going" Arka said slowly but felt like I was running out of air to breathe.

"So....."

Arka took my hand off the top of her chest. Arka was sitting on the side of the bed "Yes I know where you go, I also know the face of the man holding your hand even he hugged your body. Which husband could bear to see his wife in another man's arms" Arka squeezed her hair violently. Both of his elbows rest on both his thighs.

As fast as lightning I got out of bed and sat down in front of him.

I looked at the face of Arka who was still down. His face reddened both his eyes, as it turned out that he was crying. I know how hurt he was to see me in another man's arms, he really felt betrayed.

I slowly explained to Arka. "Darling, listen to me, I'll explain everything. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry about you. I did not accidentally meet him. That hug is not me who wants it. But he forced me himself. He also did not want to let go of his hand. I no longer have any feelings for him. Don't you believe me?" Obviously with sobs.

Arka was still silent. I stood up so that my position was higher than his. I raised his right hand. I put it on my stomach.

"I did not betray you. Do you still doubt me?"

Arka lifted her head, sitting up Arka hugged my body and kissed my stomach.

"I'm sorry baby, how stupid I am to not trust my own wife" she said in tears.

I rubbed his head very gently. My tears are still dripping.

"Darling, don't believe it. I know you just misunderstood. You yourself are the one who said that there is nothing to talk about properly. But why can't you do it?"

"I'm sorry baby, I've been blindsided by jealousy. It's all because I don't want you to touch anyone but me."Arka.

"Yes I know, but that's not what I want. He said you're tired, now we'll rest first. I'll go to the doctor in the afternoon" I said.

"You also rest" said Arka. I'm nodding.

Then Arka lifted my body and laid it on the bed. He also lay down beside me. We hug each other.

"Never betray my trust" he said softly.

"Dear, I will never betray you. Because I don't want to lose you" I whispered. Then our eyes were both closed and then we both fell asleep.
