"How is this enough??", Tita asked Kennan when he was getting rice for her husband.
"Enough".
Tita and Kennan now sat facing each other for breakfast, after Kennan finished his morning bathing routine then headed for the dining room that fused with the kitchen. Where Tita was sitting ready to wait for him with breakfast menu on the dining table is not too big.
Although the menu is quite simple but does not dampen Kennan's appetite which has been lost for several days due to him who is busy doing various ways to be able to meet Tita.
After Kennan took out a few vegetable spoons then took two pieces of fried tempeh, the two of them ate in silence. Only the clinking of the spoon clashing with the plate dominated the sound in the silence of the kitchen.
"Again fighting?" tita asked as she finished her meal and offered Kennan a glass of water.
"No", said Kennan after drinking water given by Tita.
"Luka brother...where are you?", search Tita. Her heart felt a little sore looking at the wound on her husband's handsome face.
"Statoh of the motor". I was honest Kennan with a slightly choked voice for fear that Tita might ask further about his wound. Kennan still remembers that Tita did not like motor racing because of the trauma of losing his older brother. Kennan did not want the girl who had become his wife to get sadder and hate him because he also liked motor racing, in the past.
"Debut?" Tita frowned.
Kennan. "Not intentionally slipped".
Gegara mikirin elo who arrived to avoid me....Ta, Kennan said inwardly.
"When...jatohnya?"
"So malem", replied Kennan while looking at Tita who looks very beautiful, although a sad stroke still adorns her beautiful face this morning.
"Pas wants to come here?", again Tita tried to investigate.
"No"
"Keep brother over here naek what?", asked Tita.
"Dianter sama temen"
"Ohh".
"No need to pack a motorbike.naek car wae kalo where - where" Tita said while moving to clean the dirty dishes and then took it to the kitchen to wash.
"Why?!", asked Kennan.
"Let's not jatoh anymore, still lucky the wound is light. I don't want to know why - Napa"
Kennan smiled, hearing Tita's words. He feels happy even though Tita is angry but still cares about her.
ππππ
"Bik...Tita where?", asked Kennan to the middle-aged woman who used to be Tita's caretaker wife.
"Eh..aden.", the middle-aged woman looked back, as she turned her back to Kennan.
"Neng Tita is in the back garden, maybe telling stories with children" Bik Marsih told Kennan.
"Oh.all right. Kennan followed there yes Bik", said Kennan left after getting a nod from Bibik Marsih.
From a distance Kennan looked at Tita who was smiling holding a storybook in front of several small children who were sitting half-circled around him under a shady tree. Looks like the kid really enjoyed the fairy tale from Tita.
Seen some children scramble to get attention from Tita, it does not make Tita angry but rather patiently give time to listen to their babble and interact one by one taking turns.
"Hemm..prospective mother who is patient. Mommy is not wrong", muttered Kennan indistinctly by not stopping to develop a smile on his lips.
After a few moments of satisfaction looking at the beautiful face of Tita Kennan then walked up to the girl who smiled brightly while busy chattering with the occasional change of face due to adjusting to the role of the story presented by him.
Breekk.
Kennan sat behind the orphanage children who were busy listening to the story from Tita, making Tita stop the story followed by the view of the child who looked back at Kennan.
"Who's sister?", asked a little girl dressed in red when she found Kennan sitting behind her.
Kennan is confused as to what to answer, afraid that the answer is wrong and makes Tita angry. Finally Kennan only smiled by rubbing the back of his head in confusion. Kennan was not used to interacting with young children, even with his nephew Kennan's krucil duo only used to buy him ice cream or something they liked when they met.
"He's Tita's dear old husband, let's meet", Tita answered the boy's question by choosing honestly, not forgetting the smile on her thin lips.
The boy shook Kennan's hands one by one by not forgetting to praise Kennan's handsome face.
"You already know him, adek adek enter the house huh. Brother wants to tell the same husband brother", Tita said softly to the children of the orphanage.
The little boy said goodbye leaving Tita and Kennan.
A little boy who had been sitting in front of Kennan had not yet moved from where he was standing.
"Suami Kak Tita also wants to hear fairy tales huh?", asked a little boy who seemed to have not understood the meaning of Tita's words.
Tita smiled, "Yes dear.who is horrified by the story of the change brother yes"
The little boy nodded then ran after the other child who had appeared to enter the door of the house.
"Let's go home" Kennan told Tita after he was alone with Tita.
Tita looked at Kennan astonished, "Bukane earlier Tita had said.abang went home first wae, Tita still wanted to be here"
"Dude..."
"There is no rejection...It's time to go home. I have been staying a week". Kennan didn't want to if he had to go back to his own apartment without his wife Tita.
"Give Tita time...."
"Udah enough time for you", Kennan sharpened his eyes.
"Abang selfish...!!!Never understood Tita's feelings"
"Elo the selfish.gue already give you enough time to be here. Elo don't know what it's like to be me, have to go back and forth to get you home. And you don't want to care how hurt I feel.", Kennan began to get emotional.
Huh....This two-door refrigerator man is hurt, not that Tita should be hurt, Tita thought in her heart.
"A selfish gate....!!! Even my brother never wanted to know about what happened with Tita. Brother only cares about his own feelings!!", Tita began to look glassy.
"How do I know if you never talk to me..lo instead choose here avoid me!!!".
"We just need time to make.", not finished Tita expressed her wish Kennan first cut off Tita's speech.
"Lo thinks it's only you who's hurt here", Kennan's getting emotional with his chest going up and down holding back anger. It turned out that persuading Tita was not as easy as his mind.
Tita gave a rough breath, a sense of annoyance had dominated her at this moment.
Tita chose to leave Kennan without saying a word rather than having to serve Kennan's selfish attitude according to Tita.
"Taa....Tita.", Kennan called Tita to undo his intention of leaving Kennan.
"You don't want to go home now... You better not go home!!!", Kennan warned Tita.
Tita stopped her steps for a moment.
"Gue was tired of your selfish behavior and stone head!!", again Kennan shouted.
Hearing Kennan's cry, Tita finally chose to take her footsteps away from Kennan with tears in her eyes.
His chest felt claustrophobic hearing the selfish and spoiled appellations Kennan addressed to him. Even though during his marriage to Kennan, Tita was patient enough to face the attitude of Kennan who easily changed like a chameleon. Even Tita tries to hold all the ego that often dominates her.
"Arrrggghhhhhh", Kennan ruffled his head violently when he saw Tita walking away regardless of his wishes.
...ππππ...
"We go home, now", Tita said as she just came out of the room with her eyes closed.
Making Kennan who was sitting in the living room with Bibik Marsih turned his head, shocked and happy to hear Tita's words.
"Are you really going home??", Kennan was still a little hesitant.
"Yes", Tita ketus.
"Non Tita.", Bik Marsih shook his head towards Tita with a gentle look.
Tita breathed a heavy breath.
"Yes we go home now bang", Tita lowered her tone.
Kennan nodded with a smile.
"Alright.sook", said Kennan softly while standing, mumpung Tita want to be invited home. Kennan did not want to give Tita a chance to withdraw his words.
"I'm sorry to go home....Thanks very much. Sorry Kennan has troublesome aunt", said Kennan while kissing the back of the middle-aged woman's hand with a notch.
Tita followed Kennan by kissing the back of Bik Marsih's hand and then switched to tightly hugging the woman who had been patiently nurturing him since childhood without a word, only a little soft stuffing that sounded from his lips.
"Have not cried, ashamed of Den Kennan. So a good wife yes non, do not argue the words of the husband because the wife's heaven is on the husband, however in religion the degree of husband is higher than women" Say Bik Marsih gently by patting Tita's back slowly.
Tita nodded slowly. "We say yes Bik"
"Assalamualaikum", said Kennan and Tita almost simultaneously.
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh", reply Bik Marsih with a smile.
"We're going home to mommy's house, bang?!" tita said as they exited the orphanage grounds.
"Heh", Kennan knitted his eyebrows together.
"Alright", Kennan assented after finding Tita's lips pouting. It seems that Kennan's patience is currently passing the test.
