TerLove (Love After Wedding)

The relationship improved

"Sorry, Mas. I don't want your PHP-in. I don't know if my monthly guests are coming." Cantika said as she leaned against her husband's chest.

Anas wastes his rough breathing. He still tried to calm down even though his heart was crap and his head suddenly hurt. This is no one's fault, after all. Although Cantika is used to the arrival of guests every month, but his wife will not be able to know exactly when the appearance. Whether what day and what time M will appear, no woman can know in detail.

"Don't apologize, you don't know. Now you better get some sleep, I'm gonna take a break too."

"Smile first dong, I miss.." Pintanya spoiled while looking up.

Anas followed his wife's wishes. "Let's sleep!"

"Well, don't be dumb! I don't like to see your judes' face." Cantika smiled and then kissed her husband's cheek. "Night, baby."

"Hem, stop. Don't resurrect anything I've doused with great difficulty!" The man said somewhat frustrated.

"Yes..don't get angry again! We're sleeping now." Cantika hugged him tightly. 

"Can you let me go? Being close like this to you makes g**my spirit rise again." Ask Anas in a low tone.

Cantika throbbed while breaking her embrace. "Ishhhh, I'm just doing doang. I promise I won't woo!"

Anas shook his head slowly. "We sleep on each other's backs. That's a pretty safe way for now."

"This morning, all of you sleep outside! Sensitive as hell…"

"A good idea. I'm sleeping outside tonight." 

Anas was about to rise but was obstructed by his wife.

"I miss wanting to sleep together, so I was fishing for you to go into the room. Please, just sleep here." Whine the woman while hugging.

"Cantika, you're making me miserable."

Cantika looked up with a clear face. "Mas, I want to be hugged while being caressed to sleep well."

Although not easy, but Anas granted his wife's request at least until Cantika fell asleep. After that he brought pillows and carpets to the living room. Sleeping there remains the best option so that the heat does not reappear.

After a few hours passed, a whining sound from inside the room made Anas wake up. He immediately approached his wife despite being drowsy.

"Cantika, you fell?" He helped the woman to get on the bed.

"Heeh, sick…! Where the hell is it? I told you I'd sleep together." Answer with a typical whimper of a child. 

"I'm sorry, I sleep in the living room so my brain doesn't."

"But I fell. Try if Mas sleeps here, there's something that nahan me." His childish attitude appeared again.

Anas scratched the back of his head which was not actually itchy. Sometimes he felt uncomfortable with his wife's spoiled attitude. But how else, he was already in love with Cantika.

"Alright, I'll be here with you." The man lay down.

"Well, if you leave me again!"

"No, I promise I'll sleep here."

"That's good. Maaaasss, wipe my head with my waist. It hurts…." She hugged her husband tightly.

Anas of course complied with the will of Cantika. "Quick sleep, my spoiled wife! You're happy to make me hard. Do you know, my brain is getting dirty right now. It's because of you." The man breathed his rough breath. "Darling, it looks like I'm going to have trouble sleeping right now. Honey, Cantika.emmm deserve diem-diem bae, you're asleep."

Anas slowly took off his embrace. He smiled looking at the calm face of his wife. "You are just there. I just took a nap, you jumped on the floor. Forced, I had to go back to the room. Honey, sleep well and don't be naughty! I'm going to rest too."

Anas turned his back on Cantika. After a long time, his eyes closed. Maybe because drowsiness and fatigue have increasingly gnawed at his body.

**

This afternoon Cantika was standing next to her husband's motorcycle. The woman looks angry and sad. Her heart was so agitated after hearing the news that her father was sick. 

Anas approached her after locking the door. 

"We're leaving now." He said while wearing a helmet.

Cantika did not respond at all. His mind floated on the figure of the man who for several years had always been an enemy. The man he really loves. But because of his ego and misunderstanding, he often behaves badly to the man he calls Papi. 

Anas put the same thing on his wife's head carefully. His hands held both of the woman's shoulders. "Papi pray to heal quickly! That's one way to be filial to parents."

The woman looked at him, though she did not speak. 

"Cantika, let's go now! Papi must have missed you."

Anas got into the vehicle and his wife sat in the back. The motor drove to the Hospital where Mr. Permana was treated.

Along the way, Cantika kept thinking about her father. A lot of bad thoughts ran through his head. What if her father is leaving her soon?

"No, Papi can't go!" Cantika muttered to herself as she broke into tears. Although trying to dismiss his bad thoughts, still the sadness does not want to disappear.

**

Cantika slightly opened the door of the room occupied by her father. But he was still standing while watching the figure of the woman who was sitting facing Mr. Permana. The woman was rubbing the head of the man who was lying weakly on the hospital bed. Occasionally there was the sound of his sobs.

"Mas, get well soon. I don't want to lose another husband."

"Sofi, are you afraid I'm leaving?" Ask Mr. Permana in a weak voice. 

Bu Sofi kissed her husband's hand. "I want Mas to stay with me and our children."

"If I go, I'll take Cantika. She is married but please pay attention to her. Don't bother Anas."

"That's with pleasure I'll do but you don't have to go, Mas." The woman gets more and more excited.

The deg! Cantika's heart was sliced to witness all that. Not only moved by the sincerity of the couple. What touched her heart much more was the gentle demeanor that her mother showed her father. Only this time did he feel that the woman was truly sincere.

"It turns out Miss Sofi wasn't as bad as I thought. He really loves Papi. If there wasn't him, maybe Papi's pain would be much worse." Cantika spoke in his mind. 

Anas patted her shoulder. "Let's go in!"

Both of them approached them.  Bu Sofi got up from her seat. Cantika immediately hugged her father while sobbing.

"Fire….Papi must be healed!"

"Cantika, Papi is just a normal stomachache. Don't worry so much!" Said Mr. Permana while rubbing his daughter's head.

"I'm scared, Pi…." He's getting his arms tight.

Cantika nodded quickly then took off her embrace. "I miss Papi. I'm sorry because all this time it's been selfish to deny Papi marriage again. I just realized that Papi does need a companion to live to share his story and sorrows. And Papi's decision to marry Mama Sofi was the right one. He loves Papi so much."

Mr. Permana smiled happily at the sincere words of his daughter. And Bu Sofi is now crying because she finally got a confession from the stepson.

Cantika hugged the woman. "Mama, I'm sorry for being so rough with Mama and Riri." If his half-sister was there, the atmosphere would be even better.

"Thank you for accepting Mama and Riri." Bu Sofi kissed the child's forehead.

Cantika nodded, "Mama…!" He hugged the woman even tighter. His longing for the mother figure, all of which he spilled on Bu Sofi.

Anas smiled at the warmth of the family. He was grateful that his wife was able to mature.

**

For several days hospitalized, today Mr. Permana is allowed to go home. The man is now lying in his room. Not because his condition is still weak, but because he still has to rest. 

Mr. Permana's face now looks much brighter and more vibrant. This was due to the condition of his family which is now warm. Cantika and his wife and stepson, look so compact and sincere when taking care of him. There is no greater happiness than that.

"Nas, thank you so much for making my daughter good. He can now accept my wife as well as Riri." Said Mr. Permana to his son-in-law who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Anas smiled, "This is not all because of my services, Pi. Cantika himself was so honored to receive Bu Sofi and Riri. This is the blessing of the Almighty."

"But you are also involved in changing it for the better. I didn't choose my daughter-in-law wrong."

At that time came three women of different ages, approaching them. Cantika brought a bowl of porridge, Riri brought a glass of herbal water while Bu Sofi only brought her sweet smile.

Mr. Permana was so excited to see the three. Anas smiled as he got up from his seat.

"Bapi, I'm a bribe?! This is my porridge, actually assisted by mama and Riri, hehe." Cantika said with passion. 

"It's gonna be good if you make it." Mr. Permana opened his mouth wide so that the food could immediately enter his stomach. 

Bu Sofi smiled watching while massaging her husband's hand. 

**

Tonight Cantika and her husband stayed at Mr. Permana's house. The two were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Kangen is also my room. Papi really grieved it. In addition to its clean and neat condition, my goods are also not a bit moved. It's still the last time I'm here." Cantika said while struggling spoiled.

"Your room is so big, it's almost the same size as my house. It must have been while living with me in the village, you felt uncomfortable."

"At first it was. Your house is too narrow, want to go to the bathroom just kudu through the kitchen first. There are a lot of adaptations I have to make. But what makes me happy is, your attitude always makes me comfortable and feel appreciated. I don't have a problem living anywhere as long as I can stay with you." Cantika looked at her husband deeply.

"I'm also happy that you accept all my shortcomings." Smiling sweetly while rubbing his head.

"But actually what makes me uncomfortable the most is, the attitude of the girls who like deketin and seek the same attention you. Moreover, the Mira, he ampe stress gegara love really with you." Now his facial expression is wry.

"But the important thing is that I don't love him. Mira no longer lives in the village. He was sent to Pesantren out of town by Pak Yoga."

"Yes, I'm horrified too. Thank goodness for that..." His words were cut off from hearing the sound of knocking on the door.

Cantika got up from her seat. "Mas, I'll see who comes first."

Anas nodded. The woman stepped towards the door of her room. After the door opened, the figure of a girl stood looking at him. 

"Riri, comein!" Cantika said to her step-sister.

"Sister, can we talk in my room?"

"I talked to Mas Anas first, bentar. Come on in first!"

"Just wait here, I'm not good with Brother's husband."

Cantika walked again towards the sofa. After expressing the intention of Riri's arrival, he went back to see the girl.

"Come, Anas, give me permission." 

Both went to the room in question. They sit on the edge of the bed. 

"Sister, I'm sorry I was mad because my brother said Peter was a playboy. Turns out Brother really, I've seen the evidence with my own eyes." Said Riri while looking down with a sad face. He told Cantika everything, except his intimate relationship with the man.

"Thank God you already know. I'm grinning 'cause you don't get married to a jerk like him. You're good, you have to be a good husband."

"But I haven't been able to escape him." Now the girl is crying.

Cantika hugged him tightly. "The first thing you have to do with all this. And second, try to find an activity that you like. That's why your mind can forget about the playboy."

Riri smiled looking at her half-sister's face. "Thank you very much because Brother already wants to hear my curse. I'm happy because now our relationship can be good."

"I'm also grinning. It feels like the burden in my chest is gone." 

And after being satisfied to express the contents of each heart, Cantika returned to her room.

**

Anas was already lying on the bed when his wife appeared. The woman immediately hugged him tightly while hiding the face on his chest.

"I didn't leave you?" ask Cantika.

"Remain, there's an hour more."

"Sorry, Mas. I'm gonna have a chat with Riri."

"It's okay. It's even good for your relationship to get closer."

"So he confided a lot like me. Now he knows that Peter is a playboy. So now they have no relationship anymore. I'm grinning because Riri finally knows the truth."

"really? Are you glad they broke up because you're still hoping to get back to that guy?" 

Cantika looked up, "Isssh, I'm not in love with her. I love him just as much as you. I see Riri is no longer the same as him because Riri deserves a better man."

"Emmm, I just still feel inferior when compared to Peter."

"You, if you're coupled with him, are obviously far away. You're the best. I just want to be with you, Mom." 

The two pairs of eyeballs were clashing against each other. They throw smiles at each other and embrace each other. Anas saw the earnestness from Cantika's eyes, it made him feel relieved.
