Arsyad opened the window of his room after he finished teaching. As usual after the dawn prayer he did not forget to read the Qur'an. Annisa was still asleep. Arsyad accidentally did not wake him because he knew his wife was coming to the moon. Arsyad approached his sleeping wife by hugging a roll in a thick blanket. Arsyad kissed his wife's forehead and rubbed her head. Annisa's body felt a little feverish and her face was pale. Arsyad patted his wife's cheek gently to get her out of bed.
"Sister, my stomach hurts a lot." Annisa held Arsyad's hand and opened her eyes to adjust the sunlight that entered through the window of her room.
"What hurts so much, baby?"ask Arsyad.
"Yes, sis," he answered in a very raucous voice.
Annisa looks grimacing in pain by holding her stomach. Arsyad is a little worried about Annisa. He had only seen Annisa for the first time in pain when the moon came. Yes, it was the first time Arsyad had seen his wife in such pain. During the time together, Arsyad did not know about Annisa, because indeed the unwanted marriage made them 3 months to sleep in different rooms, and the, so Arsyad never knew that Annisa came to say or be sick, or whatever.
"What if the moon comes must hurt?"ask Arsyad.
"Sometimes, sis," he replied.
"Yes, rest, brother will make you warm tea and breakfast, so that make breakfast Mba Lina, you're in the room only" Arsyad said.
"Hemm," replied Annisa while drowning her face in the pillow.
Arsyad kissed Annisa's head before leaving her room to make her warm tea and breakfast.
"Even I don't know, as long as he comes months often sick like this, what kind of husband I am, O God," muttered Arshad.
Arsyad arrived at the kitchen, he saw his beloved sister was helping Mba Lina cook for breakfast. Arsyad approached the plate shelf next to Shita.
"Sister, where's Annisa? Tumben this hour hasn't left the room yet?"ask Shita.
"Annisa's having a stomachache, Ta," replied Arsyad.
"Did Annisa Mba come to the moon?"ask Mba Lina.
"Do you know Mba Lina?" Arsyad asked Mba Lina, his assistant.
"Yes, sometimes Mba Nisa if it comes months her stomach hurts, even to fever, sir," replied Lina.
"I'm getting stupid and useless to be your husband, Annisa. I never even knew that, and I never cared about you, when you were in pain," Arsyad murmured as he poured tea from the pot.
"Mba, later when it's ready for breakfast please take it to my room" Arsyad told Lina.
"Yes, sir," Lina replied.
Arsyad brought his tea and walked towards his room again, but Arsyad's footsteps stopped, as Lina called out to him.
"Sir, wait a minute" call Lina.
"Yes, mba, what's wrong?"ask Arsyad.
"I get a compress for Mba Nisa, usually if it hurts her stomach, Mba Nisa compresses her stomach with warm water," said Lina.
Lina took a compress tool and filled the warm water from the teremos. Shita is confused, why her brother does not understand this trivial thing to his wife.
"Sister, when you don't know anyway, Annisa if it comes to her stomach months until the gini pain," said Shita.
"So don't know, Ta, really don't know" he said.
"I know, you didn't love Annisa back then, it didn't mean you were like this" Shita said.
"Yes, my sister was wrong, 'Ta, '" Arsyad said.
"This sir, the compress." Mba Lina gave Arsyad a compressive device.
"Yes, I brought this first, Ta," Arsyad said.
Arsyad walked towards Annisa's room. He went into his room and saw Annisa who was still curled up on the bed. Dai heard Annisa's shrill moans coming out of his mouth. Arsyad put his warm tea on a small table next to his bed. He crouched down and clasped Annisa's hand and kissed her.
"Darling, what's so sick?"ask Arsyad,
Annisa just nodded and squeezed the hand of Arsyad who was holding it.
"Honey, here's the compress, on the stomach first compress." Arsyad gave a compress device containing warm water to Annisa.
"Thank you, brother," he said softly.
Annisa placed her compressions slowly on her stomach. Again, he looked grimaced in pain.
"I'm sorry baby, I don't know if you come moon always hurts like this stomach" Arsyad said.
Annisa did not heed her husband talking, she still felt an excruciating pain in her stomach.
"Sister, it hurts a lot." Annisa's voice was shrieking in pain.
"Drink her tea first dear," said Arsyad.
"Sir, warm water only,"Anisa's request.
Arsyad brought warm water for his wife, Annisa still waiting for Arsyad to take water.
"It hurts so much, it usually doesn't hurt like this" said Annisa.
Arsyad brought warm water and breakfast to his wife, he sat down beside Annisa and brought water to Annisa.
"Drink, baby." Annisa drank her water.
"I'm a bribe, yeah. Today you don't go to the office, you just rest at home" Arsyad said.
"If I've gone to the office, brother," Annisa said.
"Don't argue, you're sick, don't force it" Arsyad said.
"Let's go baby, open his mouth" Arsyad said.
Arsyad fed his wife until the food on the plate ran out. Arsyad still feels very guilty about himself, he does not know all what his wife has complained about.
"You've been like this for a long time?"ask Arsyad.
"Sister mean?" Annisa asked her husband.
"I mean, if the moon comes you're sick like this?"ask Arsyad.
"Sickness, sometimes not, brother. But I don't know, it's very painful" replied Annisa.
"I'm sorry, brother, honey. Brother does not know that you come every month sick like this, even Mba Lina who knows that you come months must have stomach pain," said Arsyad while rubbing Annisa's stomach.
"Don't talk like that baby, yesterday it was different. Do not pout, it will soon not hurt his stomach," said Annisa.
Arshad took his wife in his arms. Annisa felt the warmth of her husband's embrace, she tightened her embrace and gently rubbed her husband's back.
"Sister, don't stay in Annisa, Annisa's afraid of losing her sister" Annisa said.
"Kok talk like that?"ask Arsyad.
"Nisa's afraid, sister's gone from Annisa's side" Annisa said.
"Don't say that, brother will never leave you." Arsyad hugged his wife tightly and kissed her forehead.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom, take a shower and have breakfast with you" Annisa asked.
"I prepare warm water first, wait a minute. And, finish the apple first," said Arsyad.
Annisa nodded her head and took out a small plate containing pieces of her favorite red apple. He stabbed a piece of apple with a fork and put it in his mouth. Arsyad really knows what his wife needs right now. Arsyad had finished preparing warm water for Annisa's bath. He took Annisa's bathrobe and got her 1 pad and underwear for Annisa.
"Hand, brother wait here." Arsyad gave Annisa the bathrobe and the pads she had taken.
"Thank you baby, I take a shower first." Annisa holds Arsyad's hand to get up from her bed.
Arsyad pushed Annisa into the bathroom. Before Arsyad came out of the bathroom, he forbade Annisa from closing the bathroom door first.
"Darling, wait a minute, don't close the door yet" Arsyad said.
"Why?"ask Annisa.
"Have receded" said Arsyad.
Arsyad came out of the bathroom, he walked towards the dressing table, he took out a comb and a hair tie belonging to Annisa, because he saw Annisa's hair was in a mess. Arsyad went into the bathroom and approached Annisa, who was standing in front of the mirror, and cleaned her face with a facial cleanser before she took a shower.
"Sister, I forgot not to take.." Annisa's words stopped because Arsyad cut off Annisa's words.
"Take this?" Arsyad showed me the hair in his hand.
"My husband, you always know what I need" Annisa said with a sweet smile.
"It must be honey, here brother tie your hair, dear." Arsyad brushed his wife's hair and tied Annisa's hair.
"Have it, take a shower, do you want to take a bath?"arsyad asked with a smile teasing his wife.
"I'm coming on sister moon, don't macem-macem, you wait outside, I want to take a shower first" Annisa said.
"Still a little, later I apply eucalyptus oil also healed," replied Annisa.
"Yes, take a bath baby, brother wait outside" Arsyad said.
Arsyad came out of the bathroom, he walked towards Annisa's wardrobe, he picked up a casual dress for Annisa at home. He deliberately did not allow Annisa to go to the office. Arsyad thought this afternoon Leon would come to the house with Annisa's uncle and cousin. He was a little worried and jealous if Annisa would meet Leon without him.
"Today Leon comes, Annisa is home, I have to go home quickly, later Annisa meets Leon without me" Arsyad muttered while putting Annisa's clothes on the bed.
Annisa came out of the bathroom, she saw her husband picking up his work clothes in his closet. Annisa approached her and hugged her husband from behind.
"Let me prepare, dear," Annisa said, kissing her husband's cheek.
"Wear your clothes first, you take your own," said Arsyad.
Annisa obeyed what her husband said, before wearing the clothes her husband took, she rubbed her stomach with eucalyptus oil first. Annisa's stomach is getting less and less pain. Arsyad saw Annisa smearing eucalyptus on her stomach. Arsyad crouched down in front of Annisa's stomach and kissed her.
"Hopefully after this, there's a prospective baby grandpa in your belly, baby," Arsyad said as he looked at Annisa's face.
"Aamiin, hopefully in a movement, baby. I miss holding a baby" Annisa said.
"Me too, baby. Look at our children are all grown up," Arsyad said.
Annisa rubbed Arsyad's head which was still in front of Annisa's stomach. Arsyad was still in front of Annisa's stomach, she kissed Annisa's stomach until Annisa felt amused, because the fine hairs on Arsyad's chin hit her stomach.
"Already, brother. Geli ih.sana wear her clothes, I also want to wear clothes first, later I accompany you to breakfast," said Annisa.
Annisa's wearing the clothes that Arsyad had brought her. Arsyad also wears his work clothes. Annisa approached her dresser she reflected while combing her hair.
"Nis," call Arsyad.
"What time is Leon coming?"ask Arsyad.
"Perhaps unfortunately, I'll have the driver pick her up at the airport" Annisa said.
"Alright, then, I also have to go home before Leon comes" Arsyad said.
"Cock like that?"ask Annisa.
"I don't want my wife to see her ex-boyfriend without me by her side" Arsyad said.
"Cie..jealous huh? Ex-boyfriend, sister, just not going out" said Annisa.
"Never dated, but want a fiance, right?"said Arsyad while kissing his wife's cheek is getting chubby.
"It's what the hell it is, it's chubby now, like squishy alone." Arsyad grew increasingly anxious with Annisa's cheeks.
"Ihh.sick, sister," Annisa said as she rubbed her cheek.
There was a knock on the door in Arsyad's room. Arshad walked to open the door to his room. Najwa is seen standing at the door of Arsyad's room with Dio, Shifa, and Raffi.
"Mother.…." They ran into the room and hugged Annisa.
"What's the matter, honey, why are you guys like this?"ask Annisa.
"She said she was sick?"ask Najwa.
"No, you just have a stomachache, who do you say?"ask Annisa.
"I said, Nis," said Shita, who was at the door with her two children.
"Sister, Shita, you want to go home now?"ask Annisa.
"Yes, the half-sister came home, the pity of the house in the stay continues, the sister also had to go to the cafe, Nis," said Shita.
"Tante, Auntie don't get sick" Farrel and Rana said, hugging Annisa.
"Tante's not sick, baby. You guys want to go home?"ask Annisa.
"Yes, but later Rana wants to come here again" said Rana.
"Yes, come here again, if it's a holiday" Annisa said.
"Oh, yes Nis. Today you and your cousin came here?"ask Shita.
"Yes, brother. Brother isn't here with Kak Vino?"ask Annisa.
"Sister and Sister Vino have a lot of work, in three days you will come here, brother is curious about your ex-boyfriend, who said Kak Arsyad looks amazing,"shita said by nudging her favorite sister's arm.
"What the hell, Ta," Arsyad said.
"Udah just said jealous" said Annisa by teasing her husband.
"It's so jealous of Annisa, just look at her face is red like that" Shita said.
"Uncle Leon is coming here, isn't he, mother?"ask Shifa.
"Yes, honey, Uncle Leon will be here" replied Annisa.
"Yes! I'm gonna bill Uncle Leon's promise." Shifa was very happy to hear Leon coming.
"What did Uncle Leon promise you?"ask Annisa.
"There it is," said Shifa.
"You used to not like Uncle Leon" Dio said.
"I don't like it when Uncle Leon is my father, because I want him to be my father's replacement" Shifa said.
"Then, why are you so happy that Uncle Leon is here?"ask Dio.
"Later you know yourself, you have left for school" Shifa said.
"Haven't made a fuss, you guys went to school there, had breakfast, right?"ask Arsyad.
"Here you go, Abah, we go first, yes" they said.
They leave for school, and Shita also says goodbye to go home with Vino and her children. Annisa and Arsyad get out of her room to see her children leaving for school with her private driver.
Annisa waited for her husband to have breakfast after the children left for school. Fortunately today Arsyad is not too much work, so he can leave a bit of luck to the office.
"I'm going to the office, baby. Remember enough rest, don't think about office work, I told Rere, tell him to handle all your work first" Arsyad said.
"Yes, honey. You said with the Rere when?"ask Annisa.
"When you take a shower, I call Rere on your phone" Arsyad said.
"Oh, you've been careful, baby" Annisa said.
Annisa drives Arsyad forward, to see her husband go to the office. Annisa kisses her husband's hand, and showers Annisa's face with a kiss in front of Rico's papah.
"Here, later Annisa's face is exhausted in kissing you, syad," said Rico who saw his son so dear to his wife.
"Father, just kiss your own wife too" said Arsyad and kissed Annisa's face again, no matter Rico had been shaking his head because of the behavior of his eldest son.
"Remember my message, and I'll also be home before Leon comes" Arsyad said.
"Yes, baby, it's noon time to go, gih," Annisa said.
"Okay, my beautiful wife's reward, Arsyad will be home soon before Diki's uncles, Alvin, Zidane, and Leon come" Arsyad said.
"Why did you come home in the afternoon?"ask Rico.
"Yes, I don't want my wife to see her ex-boyfriend without me" Arsyad said, kissing her papa's hand.
"Yes, you go carefully to his office" Rico said.
"Yes pah, Arsyad left first. Nis, brother left first, yeah. Assalamualaikum," said Arsyad.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Annisa and Rico.
Arsyad got into his car, as usual he was escorted by the driver and his bodyguard. Annisa and Rico sit on the porch seat after seeing Arsyad leave for his office.
"You're happy, Annisa?"ask Rico.
"Very happy, pah" replied Annisa.
"Thank God, how is your stomach still hurting?"ask Rico.
"It's been a bit quiet, pah," he replied.
They talked for a long time on the front porch. Rico loved Annisa very much. She already considers Annisa like her own biological child, after the departure of Annisa's parents. I don't know why Rico is so sorry for Annisa.
