The Forbidden Desire of the Wife

Regretting

Returning home, Abraham hired Marsha to climb the stairs and return to his room. Indeed, Abraham was so sorry for making Marsha cry, that his stomach became cramp. Fortunately, it is not accompanied by spots, so the content of Marsha is still safe. However, Abraham also had to be extra careful and also add patience now.

“Rest well,” said Abraham by helping Marsha up her bed. Even Abraham covered Marsha's feet so as not to get cold there.

Presumably this time Marsha is still silent mode, still reluctant with her husband. There was a feeling of disappointment, she was pregnant and only wanted certain foods Abraham did not buy her.

Mira also climbed the bed slowly and immediately embraced Mama, “Mama do not hurt again well.. if Mama is sick, Mira is sad,” he said.

“Iya, Son .. Mama won't be sick anymore. Thank you very much well,” reply Marsha.

From the gesture shown by Marsha that only Mira and Mama Diah were spoken to, it is clear that indeed here who is being scolded by Marsha is Abraham. The man just kept quiet and noticed the interaction of Marsha and Mira as well.

A few days passed ….

Mama Diah time said her intention to return to Semarang first. Later if Marsha is close to delivery time, Mama Diah will come again to Jakarta. Because, Mama Diah also did not have the heart to let Marsha give birth alone and Mira also needs care when her parents are in the hospital later.

“Marsha, Bram .. the day after Mama will return to Semarang well,” Mama Diah told Marsha and Abraham.

“Why Ma?” marsha asked her mother-in-law.

“Iya, go home first .. later if you have Mama will be here again, when you are nearing maternity time,” reply Mama Diah.

After all, Mama Diah has also lived in Jakarta for quite a long time, so now it is time to go home and later Mama Diah will return to Jakarta. After all, the Semarang city train to Jakarta only takes five hours. Including close and also easy to take.

“Marsha come home Mama to Semarang only yes Ma,” said Marsha suddenly.

Mama Diah who listened to the words from Marsha also scrunched her forehead, for what daughter-in-law was to choose to go home to Semarang and not live in Jakarta alone. “Why Sha?” ask Mama Diah.

“Marsha wants to stay with Eyang again. After all, here is also not noticed,” reply.

Abraham who listened to him glanced at his wife. Perhaps Abraham did pay less attention to Marsha because there was so much work this time. Even after the stomach cramp tragedy, Marsha never asked Abraham for anything more. His heart was still wounded because it only wanted Bread Gambang and Dodol Betawi not bought.

“Iya Ma .. we go home to Semarang only,” Mira replied.

Mama Diah sighed and looked at Marsha and Mira. The real pity with his granddaughter and daughter-in-law. However, if Marsha and Mira go to Semarang, the one who is sorry is also Abraham. His son will be alone in Jakarta.

“Mira want to go back to Semarang? At home Eyang uyut,” reply Marsha.

“Iya want,” reply Mira.

Mama Diah then went back to talking, “It's not that I mean you're meddling in both of you households, but don't be like this. You know you are just pregnant and also need more attention and also the mood and emotions that go up and down. While your husband is just busy and sometimes can not obey what you want. However, do not leave the house. Abraham needs you and Mira,” said Mama Diah.

This time Marsha did not cover up her feelings. He was angry, emotional, and disappointed. Her husband who asks for a child, but just obeys what he wants is always an excuse. This is not what Marsha wants. Mama Diah who listened to him also understood the position of Marsha.

“Pardon your husband, but you better stay here,” Mama Diah replied.

“Marsha undergo pregnant alone also no problem kok Ma,” reply Marsha later.

Mama Diah shakes her head slowly, “It can't be like that, Sha .. all are looking for the solution. Pondering which is wrong, which should be fixed, and also solved together. You are also Bram ... Mama used to still hear that you want to ask for more children, but what is this .. You are busy working, many jobs, but do not take the time and attention for the wife. My wife cravings, you also have many reasons. If in these two days, you do not change, Marsha will join Mama to Semarang.”

After the chat that time, Abraham and Marsha became cold. Marsha tries to draw the line and is reluctant to make up with her husband. Abraham was also quieter. It seems like a snowstorm is hitting both.

Two days passed ….

Without Abraham's permission, Marsha and Mira actually join Mama Diah back to Semarang. However, Mama Diah does not allow Marsha to stay at her Eyang house. Mama Diah wants to keep an eye on Marsha directly.

“This is not true loh, Sha .. Bram can be angry later,” reply Mama Diah.

“Just let Ma ... You need time to calm down. If indeed, Mas Bram does not want this child is okay, Ma .. Marsha can go back to work and support this child,” he replied.

From her heart there was a sense of rejection, a sense of not being noticed, even feeling no longer loved by her own husband. Too ironic indeed, back when their children were only one, there was a desire to add children. However, after Marsha became pregnant, the attention gained from her husband also diminished.

“Not so Sha .. You guys need time together. Takes time to chat,” Mama Diah replies.

“That always sleeps first every night who is Ma? Pregnant women do not attract Ma, Marsha admitted that. There may be more interesting flowers for Mas Bram,” sahut Marsha again.

Indeed pregnant it, the face of Marsha looks cute. Not gaining weight, but losing weight. Also a black basin under the eyes which is a sign that Marsha is also sleep deprived. There is a feeling of not being noticed by the husband himself, making many changes in Marsha.

Let him go for a while. He needs calmness, he needs to improve the situation of his heart and also his mood. The origin still brings Mira, not a problem for Marsha.

While in Jakarta ….

For the first time Abraham returned home empty. The man did not expect that Marsha was really taking a big step back to Semarang. Coming home from work, Abraham would usually take a bath and clean first, but now Abraham just lay himself in the room. So quiet, no figure there.

“You really went Shayang?” mumbled wailing.

It's so bad to go home empty. There was no greeting from the wife, no greeting and warm embrace from Mira. Everything is so quiet. Abraham breathed a rough sigh and rubbed his face.

“Here I was wrong, Sha .. I was wrong,” Abraham replied.

Abraham felt sorry. To be patient and also obey what his pregnant wife just wanted, he gave too many reasons. Abraham blames himself for being an insensitive husband. It feels so sorry. If it is gone, then it is felt, that the presence of Marsha and Mira is very valuable in the life of Abraham.
