*I'm Not a Priority
Still early in the morning my stomach began to be unfriendly again, with a step that tergopoh-gopoh I visited the toilet in the kitchen, there was already seen the bi lijah who was preparing breakfast
"For non!"
"Morning!" I rushed back as I kept my steps towards the toilet.
About 10 minutes I was silent in the toilet to solve my stomach problems that from last night until this morning still felt mules. A moment later I approached the bi lijah.
"Breakfast is not!" he concluded very friendly, but when I observed the dining table he only prepared breakfast for one person only.
"Well, where do you make Qiyas?"
"Master has already left"
"Yeah! go where?" I was very surprised to hear the reply bi lijah, as if my appetite began to disappear instantly.
"Today's not the schedule fly Mr. Qiyas, did not know non Salwa?" the look of his shock face, made me feel even more upset.
"Oh my god, auntie, I didn't say anything if today's schedule fly mas Qiyas!"
"Sorry non, kirain non already knows"
"Any! what time did he leave?"
"Ba'da no dawn"
"Well! that early?" I could only sigh slowly with my empty gaze, whether it was a fatal mistake that I had made until he had to act as if he was just living alone in this house.
The more I came here the more I did not know the typical Qiyas mas that always cause question marks every day, even he after this did not tell me about the flight schedule.
If marrying me is a mistake then I will not let that mindset continue to stick in his memory, because a soul mate is a destiny that is never wrong, he said, even the fact of marriage is the longest worship that we must live together, not even crave ourselves from a sense of ego over everything.

I almost gave up if every second had to make friends with a sense of loneliness, after two weeks of resign, this time I took the time to visit the warkop that had been enough to sustain my family's finances, so far, my body was still glued to the small building, come to think of it, it felt too difficult if someone as mature as me had to spend his teenage years in this place.
"God!!!" there was the sound of Aliska who used to be my shift partner in this warkop, she then ran towards me while carrying a parcel.
"Liska, how are you doing now?" I say with a thousand haru flavors.
"Alhamdulillah be healthy, ciee newlyweds" she answered slightly softly.
"Hisses! don't say that ah, shame, ow well sir where's gege?"
"Hehe! mr. Gege didn't come in today, ow ya you're here to take this, right?" with his gurgle he swung the parcel before me
"What's this?" I was a little surprised.
"This is your stuff that you did not take that day, just calm down I've entered everything into this box anyway"
"Ow thanks to lis! umm later to greet me with Gege sir huh?"
"Yes.iya later I will get ahm salwa?"
"Hmm..?"
"Hehe! if you want to follow the heart, actually I also do not want to stop working lis, but.that's how as a wife we have to follow what the husband says"
"Huum, your husband is a big man, he must be ashamed if you work in a cake place like this"
"Not that, my husband is able to give me a living without having me work" I explained gently.
"Huum, ouw ya yesterday there's a cute guy nyariin you here"
"Huh!! who?"
"Do not know, when I say you have resigned him to go so" I was silent for a moment, whether the man, I did not put a sense of penance on him, did not want to extend the discussion again, I did not want to extend the discussion, I also immediately say goodbye to go home.

"Yes.iya health guard yes there, yes waalaikumusalaam" immediately heard the voice of the hijah who wanted to end the conversation by phone, my steps began to be stunned, I was stunned, in the mind as if raging various guesses could be the person who had just talked to the hijah was mas Qiyas, did not want to linger in curiosity, just contact me throw a question to bi lijah.
"Bi! who just called?"
"Ouwh hehe! this is non, Mr. Qiyas who called" he said while smiling erratically, could he be flowery when called by mas Qiyas, murmuring a little suspicious.
"Where is he now?"
"Eheah! thank God Mr. Qiyas has arrived in Turkey safely non" again he answered my question with a smile that makes me feel uncomfortable.
"Ouw..so the flight route from Indonesia to Turkey?"
"Yes non"
"Ahm! mas Qiyas nitip not the same message I bi?"
"Nobody" hearing the reply of bi lijah, I immediately expressed my annoyance by opening the refrigerator and then taking a box of white milk to drink.
"Mom! if you're tidings of me?" ask again.
"Yes! neither non" I think I almost have no face if I have to ask questions on bi lijah whose answers sound increasingly cornered me.
"So he called, what did he say to auntie?" this time my gaze looked seriously at the bi lijah, it is not a mistake bi lijah but at least with him I also feel furious why not almost every daily activity mas Qiyas he poult until out of the head while I who have the status as a wife do not even know nothing about my husband's own activities.
"Cuman just stock food, same money monthly shopping non"
"Haaa? so she gave auntie some monthly shopping money too?" my words are very surprised
"Yes non" he said sounding softly while looking down, maybe bi lijah felt insinuated to my question just now which is quite sensitive.
"Huff! yeah bi, I'm in the room first!" not wanting to add any more frustration, I immediately rushed to leave the lijah bi.
"Astaghfirullah azim thing!!" I murmured softly, I must admit I was almost out of control of my anger.
It's not silly if I really feel rivaled with a housekeeper myself, if the old woman has been a dream of Qiyas since long ago, then I should be careful with this middle-aged woman, when viewed from her CV there are many reasons for men to love bi lijah with her status as a single parent and only have one daughter, she said, his face still looks durable at the age of 38 years, and he is also very good at doing kitchen work like there is no flaw in the gap for him.
It is true that I am not a priority in the life of the Qiyas, even with our current status increasingly reflecting how foreign I am in his eyes, but I will not allow such foreign conditions to undermine my domestic life, I will make him feel very close to me even closer than my veins, that is my promise.
Eeeiiitts..🙋Udah Vote yet? has he? don't forget to come yah🤗
