Patience of My Husband

-

Arka laid Luna who was asleep. Returning from the restaurant Luna fell asleep in the sling of Arka. Maybe Luna was exhausted.

"Darling, what's the problem in your office?" I asked as Arka covered Luna's small body with a blanket.

Arka turned towards me "The problem?" Arka was amazed by my question. Oops.

"Eh .I mean, you went to the office all of a sudden I thought there was a problem. Is it okay?" Huuff I breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately I had the right reason so Arka was unsuspecting.

"Oh, that's not a problem, baby. I went to the office because of the arrival of a guest from an investor. He did not submit a proposal to her at all. Suddenly, he came to offer himself. At first I didn't believe him, afraid he'd cheat or something. But Monika asked me to trust that investor. I just recite what Monika said because she is more experienced than me" explained Arka.

"Do you have a new project?" I pretend.

"Yes, baby, but it's still not working. Maybe it will run soon because there are already investors" replied Arka. Of course I know he's lying. But his lies are for my own good.

"May it work" I said.

"Aamiin, thank you dear you are my spirit" said Arka.

"Dear, I'll always support you as long as it's positive"

"I'm staying a while is okay, right?" Arka.

"Where are you going?" Not that I answered, but I asked back.

"You'll talk to Luna's father for a minute."

"Oh, it's okay. But don't be long" I said again.

"Yes dear." Arka came up to me and kissed my forehead. And also kissed the forehead of Luna who was sleeping fast.

//*//

I was a little shocked, as a hand slowly crept from my waist up to my stomach. But when I realized it was Arka my smile expanded perfectly. I don't know how long he's been in Luna's dad's room. Because shortly after he left the room, I fell asleep next to Luna.

"Have you finished your business?" I asked in a whispering voice because I did not want to wake Luna who was still asleep at my side.

"hmm" he replied with a murmur.

Arka rubbed the surface of my stomach with her palm. Then he whispered "Is my son not fussy today?"

"No"

Arka kissed the nape of my neck which made me feel amused and her breath made me shudder.

"Darling, don't gini ah. Tau tau teli" My protest.

"I just want to hug you dear" whispered Arka.

"But don't kiss, if you want more, I don't want responsibility"

"Dear, I just want to hug you while I'm nyium. No more" replied Arka and her lips still kissed my neck and shoulders.

Without saying anything else. I clasped Arka's hand in my stomach. I closed my eyes until I finally returned to dreamland.

"Darling you didn't go to the office?" I asked Arka who was still sitting casually while reading the newspaper. At the table was presented a cup of coffee complete with a sandwich on a small plate that has not been touched at all.

"Later on" replied Arka without looking.

"Darling, you can't if you talk to your opponent" I said emphasized. Arka who heard my words, quickly stopped the reading. Then he folded the newspaper and put it on the table, next to his coffee.

"Yes, sorry dear. Here I am" Arka patted the sofa beside her so I could sit next to her . With a sullen face I kept following Arka's orders.

"Why is my wife now often angry, often sulking, nagging too?" Arka pulled the tip of my nose and I quickly brushed her hand away.

"Wouldn't the office?" I asked with annoyance.

"Yes dear, but I'll wait for news from Monika. There will be a meeting outside the city. We will leave together from here. And all her mother Monika wants to say something to you."

"Well, what's it?" I asked a little surprised

"I don't know either. Monika said it was that. That's why I'm leaving here"

"Weekend's off, right?" My toot.

"Libur dong, will we take Luna for a walk"

"Let's stop by Monika's house. I want to see her mother. Wanna?" I said a little bit

"Of course I want to love."

"Thank you" I said with a sweet smile before him.

Arka's hand slipped into my shirt. His hand rubbed my stomach gently. "Well, don't you get sick anymore?" Ask Arka looking at me.

"If it's morning. But the doctor said it was okay. As long as it is not excessive. It is a natural thing that is experienced by almost all pregnant women. Her name..what yes I forgot" I grinned because I forgot what I meant.

"Morning sickness" replied Arka quickly.

"Huh . yes right. How do you know, baby?" I said a little spoiled.

"I often ask the doctor the same question. I also browse anything related to your pregnancy" replied Arka.

My eyes were round looking at him, as if I could not believe what Arka said.

"I know, you wouldn't believe it, would you?" Arka tried to guess what was on my mind.

"Don't think you're doing it anyway, why are you doing it?"

"At least I know that something happened to you beyond reason" replied Arka.

"Yes, my dear husband, I salute you. Thank you for doing it for me" I said softly, my hands hugging his body and in reply with a warm kiss on my forehead.

"Tanteeeeee..." There was a hoarse voice from Luna. Arka and I turned towards Luna. Slowly I took off my arms.

"Dear, wake up" I stood up and walked over to Luna, who was still hiding her body under the covers.

"Would you take a shower now?" My toot.

"Yes" replied Luna.

"Would you take a cold shower, what's warm water?" I asked while teasing him.

"Warm water"

"If so, auntie ready first the warm water" Luna nodded. I went to the bathroom to prepare warm water for Luna.

Moments later I called Luna and bathed her because this morning she asked to wash her hair.

"Tante, later if a little sister has been born, let Luna take a bath, can it be Auntie?" Luna whined as if begging.

"Can Luna?" My toot.

"could. At home, Luna also bathe adek"

"Oohh, can't you?" Said teasing.

"Can ya Auntie" Luna whined again.

"Here may be dear" I answered

" Yeee... asiiikkk" Luna seemed pleased with my answer.

"Well, I'm done with the bath. Now Luna put on clothes first, and then Aunt comb her hair. It could be alone, because Auntie wants to pee first" Luna nodded and then she came out of the bathroom. After I finished I followed Luna to the room.

When in the room I saw Arka combing Luna's hair very gently and carefully. Sometimes they joke and laugh. I stood there watching the two from a distance not too far away.

"You're in pigtails what's not?" Ask Arka to Luna

"Don't om, her hair is still wet. Later the smell of musty" Sahut Luna.

"Keep in apain again. It's got her hair done"

"Pake a bando, it's in the pink box" Luna pointed to a box on the table.

Arka shifted her seat to reach the box that Luna meant. "It right?"

"Yes, um"

"Yellow cake let it be the same color as the shirt." Arka put a bando on Luna's head. So that Luna's face looks beautiful and funny.

"Good yes, om"

"Good baby, there's a lot of bands" too"

"Yes, that's in Oma's buyin. Keep this one in the same buyin Aunt Firna" Luna showed off her bandos.

"A lot of band. Where's Aunt Caca from?" Ask Arka.

I walked towards them. "Later Aunt will buy it for Luna yes" Sahutku.

"The aunt is still there, this is from Auntie" Luna showed a bando with a butterfly decoration on the top.

"Well that was from Auntie?" My toot.

"Yes it's from Auntie. Luna keeps it well so it doesn't break down fast."

Ting .. Kegs...

Ting .. Kegs...

There was a bell from outside. " It must be Monika" Arka immediately got up from her seat to open the door.

Then he came back with Monika walking behind him. "Hi whose son this is so funny. What's name?" Monika asked as she approached Luna.

"Luna" Luna replied in embarrassment.

"Uuhhh. Her name is good"

"Thank You Aunt" Luna replied still in an embarrassed tone. Monika nodded in agreement.

"Oh yes Ca, this is a deposit from the mother. Food with concocted herbal medicine so it is not easily tired." Monika gave me the paperbag she had brought

"Geez, really bother. Thanks a lot for bringing it in."

"That's the time mom made her own, so it's safe without artificial sweeteners and also without preservatives."

"So much for his mother to make jamu" I said.

"There's a powerful herb for men, isn't it?" Ask Arka suddenly.

"Iihh.. You are nothing dear" Tegurku.

"It's okay to let me be strong dear" Arka looked at me with a seductive look.

"Ehemm. I'm sorry sir, there's a little boy here" Monika cleared her throat.

"Yes, you're like that anyway. Why try so hard?" Ketus.

"Let's be strong if work dear, let's not easily tired. That's loh honey... Is Monika really that strong?"

"Well, I'll tell you the same mother to make. Strong herbs for ahem also have coke" My eyebrows frowned at Monika's speech.

"Hehehe..." Arka chuckled at the look on my face that held in shame.

Monika chuckles "Udah Ca, just relax if you talk to me. Don't be so tense"

"It turns out you two are the same" I snorted in annoyance. They both back down

"Udah.already my stomach ache laughs constantly. We'd better leave now, Mr. Arka. Let's not be late" Monika chimed in. Then they both left immediately.
