Patience of My Husband

-

'If you fall down, rise up even without the help of others' - Ria iyos

"Darling, aren't you at the office ? This hour is still relaxing. Even ngajakin eat out" asked at breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

"Not to the office today. Just later want to say goodbye to the other staff, outside the office" As soon as I look into Arka's eyes, the meaning of my gaze as if asking for an explanation to him.

With lips that smile thin but very charming Arka looks at me very gently "Honey, the work here is done, we will return to Jakarta again. So we can pack up." Arka.

A happy hue emanated from my face, how unhappy I would be to return to my home and return with people who loved me so much.

It is different with Luna. "Yaaahhh om, we have not been out for a walk why you have to go home first" Sahut Luna felt disappointed.

Arka chuckled at Luna's chirp "Take your breakfast baby, we'll take a walk soon" Arka's hand rubbed gently on Luna's head.

"Om really?" Luna asked excitedly, Arka nodded as her answer was "Yeeeeee we go for a walk" Luna continued.

"Quick finish the breakfast let us leave immediately" Luna swiftly scooped her food into her tiny mouth. I just smiled at his funny behavior.

During the trip Arka was very busy with her cell phone. But I'm not gonna bother about that. In the back seat, Luna and I kept joking around until the car stopped somewhere I had never been.

Before it came down my eyes looked around to make sure we were where. From a direction not too far away I saw a statue of fish and crocodiles that were like wrapped around. What I know as the symbol of Surabaya.

"ke-bun-bi-na-tang Su-ra-ba-ya" Luna spelled out the writing she saw. My eyes follow Luna's eyes looking. And it turns out we were in the parking area of Surabaya zoo .

"Let's go down" said Arka.

As fast as lightning Luna instantly opened the door of the taxi that was taking us. "Pelan-pelan darling" cried when he saw Luna who almost toppled when he was about to get out of the car.

"Where are you?" arka's voice spoke to her phone. His eyes looked at the various directions. From a distance, a woman waved her hand. Monika, yes it's Monika. Is there any sudden work until Monika catches up here, my mind.

Arka back in her cell phone. "Sir, are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Ask Arka to my cab driver.

"Yes, thank you very much. But I'm sorry I can't go" she gently refused with a smile.

"All right sir." Arka pulled out her wallet and gave some money to the driver, before the driver said Arka had signaled not to protest. Because the father always did a rejection when receiving the kindness of others.

"Thank you very much, Neng. May you always be happy and much fortune" Haru's gaze appeared on his face. Arka and I nodded at the same time.

"Be careful sir. After this, I went home to rest." Arka.

Monika approached us who were still standing to see the driver enter the taxi.

"Morning sir" Sapa Monika.

"It's outside the office don't think I'm older" Arka exclaimed.

"Hehehe. yes sorry. Hi Ca how are you... still often nauseous?" Monika asked as she greeted me.

"Still, but not very often" I replied.

"Where else?" Ask Arka to Monika.

"It's inside sir. Eh Arka" Monika again chuckled with her own words.

"Who else is there?" I finally made a sound because I was just wondering about Arka's plan to bring me here.

"So gini ca, because Arka's job here is done, Arka will say goodbye to all staff. But Arka chose the concept outside in order to have a different impression. For those who are married we meet up here, yahhh itung-itung family holidays because they also bring children and wives and some even bring their parents. They said they wanted to introduce Arka to the family. If they had a super top boss. And later our single part will have an event at the cafe. The show was late afternoon until the mallem" Monika explained everything.

"Kok you don't tell me the hell baby, if there's a gini show?" My words demand an explanation.

"I forgot" replied Arka casually.

"They've gathered there" Appointed Monika after passing through the entrance.

"That's just me being late?" Ask Arka.

Arka just laughed at Monika's words. I who do not really understand is only able to listen by occasionally responding to Luna's speech that looks amazed by the existence of birds in brackets with large brackets.

A boisterous applause welcomed Arka's arrival. In front of us were gathered dozens of staff complete with children and wives. There are also those who bring their parents, as told by Monika at the beginning of the meeting. And one more thing, all wearing the same shirt. Green t-shirt with the symbol of Surabaya. It's simple but everything looks really compact.

And it looks like they also brought food supplies and also mats from home. It's really like a family vacation. I was just astonished but very proud of Arka's thought.

Monika provided a seat for me and Luna. "Ca, this is my mother and my son. You guys have a chat. I want to open the event first" Monika said. I'm according to what Monika said. I sat next to a hijab-wearing woman who was no longer young but the smile on her face did not take away her beautiful face. I started to get acquainted and talk about everything.

Looks like Monika told a lot about me to her mother.

"Okay guys, since we've been together, we started the show yes" Monika opened her voice. Monika's way of speaking amazes me she speaks non-formal language but still with her elegant style. It's not wrong that papa hired him and treated him very well.

The event continued and during the question and answer session, a staff member asked me to accompany Arka. I also asked Arka to accompany him.

Arka introduced me in front of everyone, even though there were some who already knew me. So many compliments were heard as I stood beside Arka. Maybe right now my face was flushed like a tomato. moreover when Arka kissed my forehead in front of everyone, boisterous applause and whistling sounds echoed in this open space.

"This is the wife who becomes an encouragement and also a medicine when tired. Seeing his smile all tired, all the restlessness would vanish instantly. But on the contrary, when seeing her sick, seeing her cry it will make me as her husband really feel pain, even pain .? it will be more than the pain he feels. So my message to all of you, don't waste the wife who is always there for you husbands. And also for the wife, respect your husband, be a consoler of his heart so that he will not be able to stay away from you. The point should be to complement each other. And don't demand that your partner be perfect. The lack of a wife, the husband who completes, the lack of a husband, the wife who completes. So there must be cooperation in the household so that your household is happy" Arka said in a soft voice as if hypnotizing everything here.

"Well, who wants to ask?" Someone raised his hand.

"Yes please"

"According to Brother, what makes a happy wife ?"

"Cok ask me? I am your wife. Ask your wife dong" Arka's answer is able to make everyone laugh.

Then Arka continued his opinion "So gini yes, actually you guys do not deserve to ask that same thing me, I am still a newlywed, still a few months married. You guys are my seniors. Senior asked junior hahaha" Arka laughed in the middle of her joke.

Then Arka returned with seriousness "But a little picture of me yes, do not ever think that your wife will be happy if you love a lot of money. Money problems are not only happy wives, men are also happy when in love with money... There are actually simple things that make your wife happy. Kiss forehead. Every time he's done something praise him, then kiss his forehead. It's a simple thing that makes your wife happy. Now it's my turn to ask. Do you do that often?" Ask Arka to her staff.

"Not so often, but never"

"Huuu"

His reply was accompanied by a mocking voice from the others.

"But ever, it means you haven't spoiled your wife for a long time"

"Pamper the bang, I always love what he asks, want to go for a walk I follow, want to go to the salon love money, do whatever I want to do the pokonya"

"So yes we behind the words we often hear we usually hear money is not everything, but everything needs money. What if now we are behind everything that needs money, but money is not everything. Like I said before, praise her often, hug her, kiss her forehead. His heart must have melted. You kiss her once in three seconds. His smile will last five hours.Imagine if you often kiss him. All day long he will smile, even sleep he will keep smiling. Try asking your wife, don't you kiss her forehead?"

"Surely seneng dong" The answer to each other from the woman in front of me.

"It's just entertainment yeah it's just in my opinion. I should have learned from your lives anyway. You're more experienced than I am. Regarding family happiness it all comes back to each person. For more details, you just ask your partner, what do you want? That's it. Simple kok" Arka ended the conversation.

"Thank you bang" Arka gave her thumbs up. And a loud applause closed the conversation.

We continued by talking to each other. And of course with the food they brought from home.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything. I didn't know there was such an event. It's sudden" Feeling bad about the others.

"It's okay, ma'am. This is more than enough for all of us. Come on, this is the food. I brought Rujak too. Usually if a young pregnant person wants to eat this" A female staff proffers a fruit that makes my saliva bergelenyar. But ashamed to accept it.

"Take aja ma'am, if you want something not to be held. he said his son can be ilean hehheehe" all chuckled.

I finally accepted the gift "Thank you"The staff and family were so friendly. All told of the kindness of the Arka during their lead. And again, they say as busy as any job in the office and factory, the staff should not leave the worship of both Muslims and non-Muslims.

In my heart, thank God for sending angels in the form of my husband. A happy smile on my lips. So perfect is my husband in my eyes, even though perfection belongs only to Allah SWT.

We kept chatting until it felt like we had spent almost four hours. When going to separate, the look of disappointed and sad faces emanated from the faces of the staff.

Even when shaking hands with them, there were some mothers who gave gifts as mementos.I was very moved by what they did. They are so good that they don't know me very well.
