The Huckold Married??
There's A Weird One
In the morning Raffan was preparing to go to campus, although in fact he was very and lost the spirit to go to college but he forced himself because he also wanted to be a graduate, too, well at least he did not disappoint his parents especially his mother after the disappointment that the woman would probably feel after knowing what really happened.
As soon as he was ready, the man rushed out of the house to lock the door, which had no one in it, he was alone even last night he really could not sleep and as suggested by his wife he also chose to teach to calm the mind as well as launch also continue his readings that once had him forget about the preoccupation with life in the world and forget that there is an afterlife that will be an eternal place for him and also all beings in this world.
His mind was currently not good to the point that he was driving with only his eyes focused but his mind was far from it, repeatedly having to hear the horn of the vehicle behind him that is disturbed by the way he carries a car that is sometimes fast but can also suddenly become very slow even to the point of stepping on the brake because it almost hit the vehicle in ahead of him.
Raffan has really become more chaotic than yesterday.
Tiinn!
Again, the sound of a horn sounded loud enliven the lights that had changed green when Raffan did not also run his car after being trapped by a red light.
Not wanting to even make traffic jam Raffan immediately drove his car to the campus which is about 500 meters away again.
His car moved into the campus where the gate was wide open allowing anyone with an interest in the place to enter.
"Raffen!" the cry of someone making steps Raffan who will walk the stairs stopped then with a movement forced to turn to the person who was behind him and who just called him.
He immediately saw the face of Rio who was looking at him with a slightly confused look, his friend seemed to catch an unusual gurgle just from the look of the face alone.
Of course anyone would be able to see anything else with that man named Raffan, that man who was usually notoriously noisy and with all his obscure behavior now was a bit different, a little different, if other people who are not too familiar with Raffan can already realize the difference then what about his friends who sometimes they spend hours together, of course, they will clearly know.
There was no word that Raffan took out of his mouth even after knowing who called him he immediately resumed his journey to class, having previously been absent to declare his presence today.
"Any? could anyone be losing their passion?" Rio who did not know how to start guessing while linking his eyebrows looked at the departure of Raffan who did not say a word to him.

"Actually Mum is fine Deefa if you want to go home to Jakarta, after all pity also your husband must have no one to take care of his food, his clothes are also all he needs," said the woman who always wears simple clothes for everyday.
Deefa shook her head, "Deefa has permission from Mas Raffan, and Mas Raffan allows Mak, besides Deefa wants to accompany Mother here must be very lonely after you are not there," obviously Deefa while peeling potatoes that she will make cooking ingredients this afternoon.
From the bottom of his heart he actually thought about her husband but in fact he was less willing to leave his mother and let the woman who was old at night was only alone at home.
Truly he had no heart and ignored the woman who had bet his life to give birth to him, he felt that he was looking forward to him also having children and he also wanted his son to be devoted to him and also Raffan, who was a child, surely Taanpa forgot his duty as a wife.
The woman whose hair was partially bleached also sighed, "Alhamdulillah Deef, your husband is very understanding of you and can also be mature when his age is below you," mom praised the daughter-in-law.
Deefa nodded with a rousing smile, agreeing with what she had said about her husband.
"So the mother was very hesitant, thinking if maybe the younger child could be a good husband and could be a priest for you, really hesitant especially when you know you and Raffan had a problem even your husband was also asking you to choose, at that time actually Mother had wanted to ask you for a divorce only, just, afraid you are getting hurt, but the late Mr. Kiyai Burhan continues to remind and convince Mother that Raffan can definitely change, and finally yes Mother allows you to continue your marriage with Raffan," mother's story with eyes that are so shady.
It was undeniable that Deefa's eyes were declining from her Mother, her skin color was the same, it seemed like she was indeed a picture of her Mother's youth.
"But now that Mas Raffan has changed Mak, he's so much better than he was when Deefa first became his wife," beber Deefa stopped the hand movements that had been peeling potatoes and then placed the knife in the bamboo bale that they were sitting on.
The mother nodded then stroked the head of her only child who, although since childhood, she left it to Kiyai Burhan and his wife in the boarding school but did not make the child forget her and her husband as parents bung, his son really showed his devotion as a child, never forget even brought up if all this time he did not have a hand to raise and guide his son.
"Emak always prays you will continue to be happy like this, maybe there will be trials but Mom is very sure you will be able to pass through" explained the woman whose hands and face are already wrinkled.
"Please pray that Deefa and Mas Raffan will soon have Mak's child" Deefa pinta said with a suddenly moody face, about the child will always remind him of his mother-in-law who may now be wondering about the results of her examination and also Raffan.
Mother looked at Deefa and then grasped the hand of the child, "always, every time you finish praying, she will always pray for you and Raffan, too, but remember Deef we must remain patient because God will decide when you and Raffan have children, we cannot impose our desires, he said, it all depends on how you try and pray to God, the owner of all nature, so be smart that you seduce God to fill your womb with your little baby successor and Raffan," mother's advice is taken by Deefa.
"If not already in love also consider that Allah still wants you and Raffan to enjoy your halal courtship, do not need to be too messy," said the woman who got up from her seat and came down from the bamboo bale carrying a basin of vegetables that she would wash.
Deefa pensively staring at the departure of his mother to the back, his mother's last words made Deefa stunned to think about it, he and Raffan actually also want to respond to it casually especially Raffan, Raffan, who is also very happy, her husband even had to persuade and force her to do the examination to find out there was no problem with their reproduction, but the demands of her mother-in-law make her can no longer calm in addressing her who never got pregnant even though their marriage has not been there for a year.
Her mother-in-law demanded that they, especially herself, give her a grandchild even to the point of comparing her to her cousin who was pregnant when she was newly married.
It was a disappointment but he couldn't tell anyone about it, in fact, her husband did not want to tell her, but because the man continued to urge her to make him forced to tell her even her husband had heard firsthand what was said by his mother-in-law who finally made the man admonishing his own mother.
It makes Deefa feel more bad and guilty, because now Raffan and his mother so not close, even talk was just that, just, not like when he first set foot in Jakarta.
Deefa shrank the tears that speechlessly came down from her two eyes, wiped them with the tip of her veil and clenched her lips so that her cries would not come out, there was no way she would cry when she wanted to comfort her mother over her father's departure.
"Deef, bring the potatoes here!" exclaimed the mother who had apparently forgotten the potatoes that she should have brought also for washing.
"Yes Mak," deefa answered immediately to remove the remaining tears and then rushed to bring the potatoes and give them to the woman who was crouching in front of the water that had broken from the old tap in the bathroom of a simple house the treasure they occupy is the only relic of the late father.
