The Hidden Love

Fruits

" Where's Hanum? why didn't he eat?" Burhan reprimands his son-in-law, seeing Ratih return to the dining table without bringing his granddaughter-in-law along.

" He's just been puking again, Dad." Ratih sat down lethargic, "Later let me bring the fruit to his room. Poor boy, all night can't sleep because he keeps thinking about Sultan."

" Yes, bring him some fruit as soon as you finish eating." the old man asked.

A while later, Ratih had returned to his daughter-in-law's room with a tray containing dishes presented with several types of fruit pieces on it along with a glass of chocolate-flavored milk.

" Dear, son ..." Ratih gently rubbed his daughter-in-law's head.

" Eh, mami."

" Be careful, baby." Ratih helps Hanum get up from his sleep. " I'm sorry mommy, mommy interrupts your sleep, but mom knows very well all night you can't sleep. But this is all your goodness, you have to eat now." grabbing the plate and thrusting it at Hanum.

" I ..." call Hanum while stabbing the piece of melon with the fork he holds.

" Yes, baby?"

" When are we going to Jakarta?" asked Hanum, he could no longer afford to wait long. Just waiting for last night felt like a long time for him.

" Papi has told people to book airline tickets for us, you take it easy. We'll leave at ten."

" What's right, Mi?" excited, Hanum sped up the process of chewing the fruit in his mouth.

" Yes, your grandfather told you to Papi to hasten our departure. He can't bear to keep seeing you grieving when you're away from your husband."

" Yes, Mi." continued eating it.

" Are you okay with getting on a plane? yesterday the Sultan said when you came here, you had a car hangover. But if you ride the car will also take longer, afraid you are tired." explained the woman.

" It's okay Mi. Getting on a plane is no problem either."

" yeah already then, after drinking milk, you just rest first. All your needs have been packed with Auntie, later as soon as we leave, mom will wake you."

Hanum nodded, draining his milk until the toilet was not left and then returned to the body.

.

On plane.

" Mommy's been telling the Sultan yet, if we're on our way." Arya asked her wife.

" No, Pi. Sorry, mami's busy right from morning papi see for yourself, so mom forgot not to call Sultan."

" Yes already." Arya returned to her most comfortable position, placed her head on the shoulder of the passenger seat and began to read the newspaper she had in her hand.

Burhan, the father sitting next to him did the same thing, reading the newspaper just to eliminate the saturation that occurred during the trip.

While Ratih and his son-in-law were sitting in the front seat, there was a feeling of relief when seeing that his worry was not happening, Hanum was able to sleep soundly. Fortunately they booked VVIP flight tickets, so the atmosphere in it was not so crowded. Even tends to be quiet because there are only a few passengers in it.

.

As soon as they reached the Sultan's mansion, Hanum immediately rushed into his room.

" Mi, Hanum went into the room first huh, want to rest. Hanum's head is dizzy, Mi."

" Yes, baby, you just sleep. Let mommy take care of everything."

And now, after seeing her daughter-in-law enter the room. Followed by her husband and father-in-law who was resting in the guest room. Stay Ratih both with Mbok Darmi.

" Why don't the madam just rest, the madam just arrived, not tired?" said Mbok Darmi who was arranging vegetables in the refrigerator at the time.

" Slight Mbok, mending here. Rather than being bored in the room, I'm not used to napping." said Ratih.

" What do you want Mbok to make, madam?"

" No need."

After putting the vegetables in the refrigerator, the two walked together to the back garden.

" How were things in this house during Mbok Darmi's stay here?" Trainly opened the sound as soon as they had reached the park and sat on the bench.

" Okay, Nyah. Everything is going well and there are no meaningful obstacles."

" Mbok, would you be happy to see the harmonious household life of the Sultan?"

It is the lady who does not know. They both will even split up. Their households have been hit by a storm more powerful than a tsunami.

.

While in the office.

" Is there any more work?" sultan asked his friend.

" I'm sleepy, you know last night I didn't sleep. I only slept for an hour this morning, plus the mountain work I had to finish."

" Oh yeah, just rest in your room."

No need to linger anymore for the Sultan to enter the private room in his room.

" I'm going to sleep, don't let anyone disturb my sleep." she told Raka before she locked the door.

" Yes all right."

Time passed by so quickly, Sultan squinted his eyes as the afternoon sunlight pierced through the window glass and hit his face.

Slowly he got up from his bed, went into the bathroom to wash his face. I didn't think it was late afternoon.

" Ka." call him to Raka who is still loyal to occupy his seat.

" Yes, if you want to go home, I'll go home after I finish this. I also can't bear to see your condition, you must be very tired. Not only tired of energy, tired of heart and mind as well whenever there is a problem in the office. Especially about this morning." still staring seriously at his computer screen.

" Yes, I'm going home, I think I'm going to continue sleeping at home." The Sultan cleaned his desk, stuffed some things into his briefcase. Make sure no important items are left there.

" Hm, be careful when driving yes, no need to mention."

" OK. Oh yes, ask for help later you to the financial section yes. Ask them to give a bonus of one month's salary to all employees." Sultan ordered.

" What?" Raka looked up, looking at her friend's face.

" No need to scream, you're not deaf, are you? or do you want to deafen me?" The sultan nodded, starting to walk out of the room.

" Did I hear wrong?"

Hearing his friend's question made Sultan stop his steps, he again lowered his hand that had touched the door handle. Then turned his body, staring intently at the man who was still sitting in his work chair.

" Go immediately to the ENT doctor, afraid that your ears are problematic." murmured Sultan.

" I'm serious." Raka is done with her job, turns off the computer and approaches her friend. " In what order do you give bonuses to all employees?"

" You're talking like I'm a stingy boss, like this first time I'm just giving them a bonus."

And the two walked together leaving the room.

" That's not what I meant. I'll just ask why you gave me the bonus. That's all." Raka embraces Sultan's shoulder.

" Take it as a gift to them, a form of gratitude for the happiness I am feeling."

" What? what happiness do you mean? what because ..." Raka raised her eyebrows several times.

" Hanum's pregnant."

" What ..." Raka shouted, right beside the Sultan's ear.

" Geez, you can't scream. Can deaf me." The Sultan grumbled while rubbing his earlobes.

" Seriously you?" Raka looked very excited when she heard the exciting news.

" When have I ever joked?" The sultan asked.

" Why not tell me?" punch Sultan in the shoulder until the man grimaces.

" I'm telling you this."

" Ck .. ck .. I'm happy for you." both of them hugged. " Your ultimate weapon finally managed to bring out its power as well. Not wasted your efforts all this time, but remember." Raka blinked one eye, "Because yours has already paid off, so from now on you should cut down on your night sports."

" Why is that?"

" The doctor who examined the contents of your wife did not say that usually in the early age of pregnancy it is very susceptible to miscarriage. So, don't even think about doing that all the time yeah, you even have to fast."

" Sok knows."

" What? told instead of thanking you for saying so. I said it because I personally experienced it, the doctor told me to fast at least ..."

Then Raka flapped her forehead as soon as she got a sharp eye from her friend, especially she just realized that she had been speechless.

" So you were told to fast?" The Sultan was wide-eyed, his shoulders shaking as he could not hold back his laughter.

" Laugh as much as you do, until it is my turn to laugh at you. Do you really think I'm the only one who's been told to fast? you too." appoint the Sultan. " Nearly some obstetricians will remind it to every husband whose wife is declared to be pregnant young."

" Wait!" The sultan stopped his laughter. "Is that true for all husbands?"

" Of course. No exception." Raka thaws.

Hearing what Raka just said made the Sultan haunted by fear. He has also fasted for more than three weeks and will he also be told to fast longer?can he still hold it.
