The 40 Days of the Natiphas

There's something weird

Since giving birth no one wants to help me even though Adam, his nature slowly changes often home until late at night. Caring for Kanaya has been a difficult challenge, but I am still trying to be the best. 

"Assalamu'alaikum."

I who listened to the familiar voice chose to put Kanaya inside the baby box, then walk to the source of the sound and open the door. I saw my mother-in-law smiling at me and a woman next to her.

"Oh Mother, please come in!" I let her know, glancing at the woman next to my mother.

"Where are you, Lun?" ask the mother who was looking for her grandson.

"Kanaya's asleep, it's in the baby box." I glanced at the woman who looked younger than me who was curious, had never seen the woman before. The mother who understood with my gaze immediately explained it. 

"This is called a rose. Before that, I told you to find a maid during your puerperium, so you don't get tired and focus on taking care of Kanaya. From now on the rose will work as a helper until the puerperium will be finished." Mom's light to me.

"Roses, Mba." 

"Luna." I returned the helping hand and smiled as our first introduction, such a good mother attitude by providing helpers made me feel loved and cared for. "Actually I'm still able to take care of all the housework, I don't want to trouble Mom."

"Nothing is bothered, this has become the duty of the mother. I feel sorry for Kanaya and should be given full attention.

"Yes, Mom."

After my mother's return, I felt something stuck in my heart but didn't know what it was. My gaze was fixed on the large suitcase carried by the rose, inwardly beginning to wonder why the woman was carrying so many clothes. My mind started to say negative things, but immediately brushed it off when I heard Kanaya's crying voice and immediately approached to calm her down. 

I felt grateful to have a very good mother-in-law, so attentive that I was willing to bring a maid until my puerperium was over. I sat on the sofa chair in the living room, gave ASI to Kanaya and occasionally saw the Roses that beberes the house. 

My gaze was fixed on Adam who just came home from work, walked over and did not forget the sweet smile to welcome him. 

"Home tumbens are not a mess." 

"Yes Mas, the mother hires the services of a maid until the puerperium is completed. Come here!" explain I turned around and called a new maid. "Mas, these Roses and Roses are my husband, Adam's mas." I introduced them. 

At first glance I saw the look on their faces looked tense, then they introduced themselves. Immediately I ran to Kanaya who was crying and calmed her.

"Why are you here?" Adam whispered, rubbing his face rough. 

"I miss you, Mom. There I was lonely without you" replied the spoiled Rose. 

"We've talked about this, why do you still live here?" Adam was very frustrated with the coming of the rose. "Ha, that's it." He left that place. 

"Go get it, Mas." The angry rose. 

I put Kanaya back in the baby box, when I heard the phone that suddenly rang immediately I grabbed the cheek object located on the nightstand not far from reach, saw a nickname come in and it turned out to be my mother-in-law. 

"Hello, Luna." 

"Yes mom, what's wrong?" I also frowned, because my mother-in-law rarely called. 

"She called Adam but she didn't pick up, could you give me a phone for a second?" 

"Oh can ma'am." I hurried out of the room and looked for Adam's whereabouts. "Mas Adam.mas" call me dyed. 

"Mas Adam is in Mba's kitchen." The Rose smiled at me, I nodded and left. 

"Whispering." 

"Mom called." My words hide the pain because Adam never spoke to me like that. 

Adam looked at me. "Why is it still here? Go there." After a little snapping, I hurried out of the kitchen but accidentally hit the Rose from when I was behind me. 

"I'm going to Mba's kitchen, cook." Evidently. 

"Oh."

At night, as usual I waited for my husband at the dinner table while pleading with Kanaya. My vision saw the time when Adam and the Rose came together, but I had no bad feelings whatsoever and immediately allowed my husband to sit in a chair. 

As usual I served my husband by taking side dishes on a plate, but I had not had time to stand the rose first offered myself. 

"Let me Mba, Mba is busy with Momong Kanaya." With a swift Rose wanting to replace me in the service of Adam, I quietly observed how my maid was looking at my husband. 

"No need, it's my job." Refuse smooth. 

"Mba just sit sweet, let me prepare Mas Adam's food." Roses were very enthusiastic about preparing my husband's meal without waiting for my answer first. 

I continued to observe the interaction between the two and felt that something was not right let alone there was no awkwardness between my husband and also my maid, the maid that my mother-in-law brought in directly. 

"Is this true?" Inner Luna who felt that the Rose was too eager to approach her husband. 

"This is my drink, please eat!" sweet words Rose.

When the three of us ate solemnly, Adam suddenly choked and I immediately gave him a glass of water, but the first thing the Rose did made me even more astonished by his attitude. 

After making sure Kanaya slept, I stepped foot into the bathroom, but was intercepted by Adam's mas who hugged me from behind. 

"I miss you so much, Lun." His whisper is friendly in my ear. 

"But Mas, I'm still in puerperium. Fasting first yes," persuaded me who actually could not refuse. 

"Then? We can satisfy me in other ways." Adam did not give up. 

"All right." 

I had just helped Adam to complete his desire, but first heard Kanaya's shrill cry. 

"Wait a minute, I'll calm down Kanaya first Mas." I hurriedly ran and carried my baby, accidentally seeing the annoyed face of Adam. 

"Come on, Kanaya's asleep." Take me. 

"Just destroy your son, just interrupt." Adam came out of the room. 

"Why is Adam's attitude so different? Is it because of Kanaya's birth?" my mind asked, sad to see the change in her husband's attitude. 

****

In the morning, I woke up a little bad luck because last night Kanaya was fussy again. Looking at the clock on the wall made me realize that Adam had gone to the office, I accidentally passed the Rose who had just come out of the bathroom and his wet hair. 

My gaze felt strange seeing the clothes my maid was wearing, looking sexy. 

"For Mba." He smiled kindly.

"Morning. Rose," call me when she's about to step. 

"Yes Mba, what's wrong?" sahut. 

"It's nothing." I didn't rebuke him, maybe he was just wearing that outfit because Adam wasn't home.
