Patience of My Husband

Faithful is expensive

What Papa said is very true. I can't believe a news story that isn't necessarily the truth.

As papa said at first, papa said that Arka was immoral to his clients. Without asking and without thinking I believed it, my blood was boiling, it was hot to hear.

It hurts to be betrayed, especially by your husband. Didn't think that Arka did that Setega to me. That's what I had in mind when I heard Papa's words.

What I heard was very wrong. I was stupid to just believe. I should be able to be more mature in dealing with every problem.

I can't imagine if I get incitement from someone else. For sure I will just believe it, without asking and finding out the truth first.

Not even my father would believe if anyone told me my husband's bad. Even I, as his wife, doubted my husband's loyalty. Stupid me...

Curious about what papa's client did to Arka. Unbeknownst to Arka, I asked papa for a cctv tape.

"Make what?" Papa asked me when I asked for the cctv footage.

"You proved that papa's words are true" I replied.

"What makes you doubt the loyalty of your own husband. Stop suspecting Arka. He's a loyal husband, there's no way he's messing around behind you"

"Yes, I believe in my husband. I just want to know what Papa's client did to Arka"

Moments after the call ends. Papa sends the cctv footage through a green app. But as I was about to turn it around, the drowsiness began to whack. I prefer to sleep.

While Arka he was watching his favorite ball show. He's watching at the guard post with security. Because he said he was not excited if watching the ball alone. Watching alone in the room, he could not scream. If at the guard post he is free to scream or prance.

My eyes are sleepy, but it's hard to fall asleep. Two hours passed, only the anxiety I had. Tilt to the left, to the right, back again. But it can't make me comfortable.

I got up straight from my sleep. Get off the bed and look for Arka's whereabouts. Arriving at the guard post, Arka was unaware of my arrival. He was playing chess.

"Ehem" I cleared my throat, but no one turned

"Ehem ahem" I repeated again, and managed to make the three of them turn towards me.

"Darling, how come you haven't slept? Why here? Want to follow them to the post?" Arka's words were met with laughter.

"Iihh you. I can't sleep alone" I whine.

"You want to go to Temenin?" I also nodded. Then Arka got up from her seat and approached me.

"Yes, come on" Arka held my hand after she said goodbye.

"Darling, I'm hungry. I want to eat" I said as we entered the house and locked the door.

"What do you want to eat?"

"You need to bake meatballs" I grimaced showing a row of my teeth.

"Burning meatballs? where there's a clock like this, baby. See what time it is? It's almost one o'clock" Aeka looks frustrated.

"In the refrigerator there is a stock of meatballs similar to jumbo sausages. Can make a burnt meatball"

"I'll see for a while" Arka opened the fridge and looked for meatballs.

"Aren't you?" My toot.

"There's this?" Arka pulled out a few packs of ready-made meatballs. " Let me make you sit there waiting for the meat to ripen"

I just follow. I sat on the couch waiting for my order to be made. Not long after the burning aroma of the spice pierced my nose. It feels good even though only the aroma goes into the nose.

No need to wait a long time. Grilled meatballs are available in front of me.

"Hmmm the smell is so good" my praise.

"Hmmm it's so delicious. I finished it yes. You can't ask. If you want, make it yourself"

"Dear, you can too. I'm not gonna ask. If it's less, let me make it again"

Arka rubbed my hair. "If you want something, just say it. I don't have a magic bag. But I can give you what you're asking?"

"Doraemon first?" Arka laughed too.

Does not feel the burning meatballs that Arka makes have been eaten.

"You again?"

"Actually I still want to, but I'm so sleepy. It's not strong."

"You going to the room now?" I also nodded . Arka was ready to lift my body.

***

"Darling, I'm sorry I doubted your loyalty. I shouldn't have been childish"

I said when we were both lying in bed. Because I think at times like this we can talk from heart to heart.

"You've already apologized in front of papa"

"But I really feel guilty. I feel guilty for doubting you"

"Dear, I'm sorry. I ask that something like this never happen again. If there is something in your heart, you ask me directly, do not ask others. Understand right?"

"Dear, I understand. I promise I won't repeat it again"

Arka pulled my body closer. In the embrace of my body and in the kiss of my forehead.

"Can I have it?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Darling, why did you reject Miss Sarah. She is beautiful, rich, fashionable, single and many more advantages. Why don't you just accept it?"

Why am I, why am I asking silly questions.

"You think I'm interested in the advantages?" Instead of answering Arka asked back.

"Yes I don't know"

"Your answer is clear that you doubt my loyalty. Now I want to ask you, do you think I should accept Miss Sarah's will? Your curry seems to force me to do what you really don't want"

"What do you mean?"

"You want me to sell my loyalty. You want me to exchange my loyalty for the advantages that he has, even though you yourself do not want me to do it, right? keep in mind, faithful is expensive can not be exchanged for anything"

Arka's voice sounded like a stifled emotion.

"I don't mean it, honey. I'm...." My speech stopped when Arka spoke again.

"That's it, you better sleep now. You need rest, so do I"

Arka hugged my body, and she immediately closed her eyes. Maybe today was a tiring day for Arka. But he never complained. It is precisely I who do not do much work often complain to him.

Actually I no longer doubt the loyalty of Arka. It's just that I'd be more satisfied if Arka answered all my questions.

Maybe the way I asked was wrong, so that made Arka a little offended by my words.
