...Happy reading...

...*************...

 

The job of a skipper is to carry a ship across the vast ocean to reach the destination. He is responsible for the safety of all passengers and crew. Sometimes he had to hit the storm and roll the big waves on each voyage.

 

Like the captain, a husband has the same role. He should be able to carry his household towards the same destination. No matter how big the problem is.

 

In married life, a husband will be the head of his household. His role in becoming a leader makes it must be more decisive in making decisions.

 

However, it had no effect on the man named Septian. He prefers to be indifferent to his household problems rather than having to argue which will lead to a struggle, and in the end he who has to be disappointed.

 

Actually it is not a matter of laziness to solve the problem, but the end of their debate is Septian which will be underestimated by his wife.

 

What does Septian expect from his wife? Even when he came home from work, no wife's face welcomed him. At the beginning of the marriage, he appreciates Ajeng's decision to keep working, as long as it does not leave his responsibilities. However, it seems that Ajeng forgot about it.

 

It was late at night, but Ajeng had not yet arrived. As usual, Ajeng will finish his work first before going home.

 

Lazily, Tian immediately cleansed himself and laid down his body.

 

Just a few hours later he fell asleep, he woke up and felt beside him. There is no Ajeng there. He saw the clock was showing at 1 p.m. Tian tries to contact Ajeng, as it is not usually until this late. He called again and again, no response.

 

Tian thought, what if there is a baby present among them? The mood will surely get more crowded. However, will Ajeng still force to work?

 

Not long after, the roar of the car was heard entering the garage of the house. Tian moved from the room to the door to greet Ajeng. "Not usually this late. Tumben," said Tian following his wife from behind.

 

"Yes, it feels really tired, because it's preparing materials for tomorrow's meeting." Tian understood his wife's complaint. It was seen from the face of Ajeng who was so tired.

 

Finally he rubbed his wife's head. "Bring first, I'll get you a change of clothes."

 

 

After preparing all the needs of his wife, he waited for his wife in bed while playing mobile phone.

 

"It's done, here, yes. I want to have a chat for a while" Tian said as he watched his wife walk out of the bathroom.

 

It seems like this is something to talk about. If it continues, it will affect their marriage. Honestly, Tian still wanted to defend his household.

 

Ajeng who was really tired joined to relax himself after all his business was finished. "ah! Tired today," complained Ajeng by stretching his body muscles.

 

"That's a lot of work like it," asked Tian.

 

Ajeng. "Yes, tomorrow there's a product presentation."

 

"You don't get tired. I still need you to take care of me. Yes, Honey?"

 

"Yes. Sorry, I'm rarely home."

 

"I want to ask," asked Tian starting a conversation.

 

Ajeng who had already pulled the blanket to cover his body looked at Tian. "What?"

 

"If we had a momongan, would you still be working?"

 

"Maybe keep working, Mas. Why?" ajeng replied by closing his eyes.

 

 

Perhaps because of the tiredness that Ajeng felt, making the question from Tian so sensitive for him. "You mean all this time I've never taken care of you?"

 

 

"It's not like that, but I think lately we rarely have time together. You always leave in the morning, keep coming home at night."

 

Ajeng exhaled his breath. "Mas, we discussed this at the beginning of our marriage. You appreciate my decision to stay in the job. Why is it changing now?"

 

"Oh yeah, we're sleeping, yeah. He said you're tired?" bring Tian. He prefers to avoid it first.

 

 

Waking up early, Tian heard the sound of water gurgling from the bathroom. As always, you will always wake up first. While Tian did not shower immediately, he chose to go to the kitchen to make coffee.

 

 

Two cups of coffee have been served in three minutes. Nothing has changed in the home. Although he is good at making coffee, it does not mean he does not want to be made coffee by his wife. He certainly really wants to taste the coffee made by Ajeng. However, the request was never granted by Ajeng on the grounds that Tian's coffee was tastier than his.

 

The smell of coffee spread, making Ajeng approach the dining table and sit with Tian. "Thank you, Mas" said Ajeng as he sipped his coffee.

 

Tian simply replied with a wry smile. "You're leaving right away?"

 

"Yes, Mas. Why?"

 

"This is what I meant last night.You remember, when was the last time you touched the kitchen?"

 

Feeling no response from Ajeng, Tian again said, "Even just make me breakfast you've never."

 

Ajeng Mney realized about his mistake because he rarely went to the kitchen. Make her husband breakfast, dinner or just make coffee. He always leaves early in the morning and comes home late at night. But isn't that for the family too?

 

"I have to leave in the morning, Mom. Sorry, I didn't have time to make breakfast. Next time, I'll take a day off."

 

"You've often said that. But what proof? Nothing materializes, right? Even on holidays you must have a schedule with your friends. Can I tell you that you're too busy with your work?"

 

"Mas, that's again what's discussed. You approved my decision to keep working. If you don't want me to work, you should have said no. Who do you think I work for? I work for our needs too."

 

"And I'm working. I have income to meet our needs."

 

Ajeng exhaled a rough breath. "How much, Mom, what salary do you get in a month? Is it enough to buy the things we have been buying? No, right? Were it not for my salary, this house might still be empty and have nothing to fill. I'm tired, every working day. Departing early in the morning home at night. At home sometimes you still get pressure from you."

 

After a few seconds, Ajeng realized what he had just said. However, he did not apologize at all for what had come out of his mouth. He felt that what he said was true.

 

Tian's jaw started to harden. He returned compared to Ajeng whose income was greater. "You don't think I'm tired? Which you do not work. We both work. All this time I've been patient, you never took care of me. I'm also worried that you come home every night. You didn't think you'd get there, did you? Obviously, you only think about work and work. You never think how I feel. Just so you know, if you are tired, it also affects your content. That's what makes us have a baby for a long time. You know that?"

 

Ajeng stood up from his chair and stared intently at Tian. "So you mean we don't have a teacher yet because of my fault? Because my fault is too tired to make me difficult to contain? That's what you mean?"

 

Angarah Ajeng is unstoppable. Make the quarrel happen again with the same topic and discussion. "Whatever, Mas. I'm going to work. I don't have time for an obscure debate like this. For a long time I did not feel at home if the pressure continued every day," Ajeng grumbled as he stepped away from Tian.
