The Huckold Married??
His friend was also astonished
"Gue is also strange Gam, Raffan even though there is a problem with his parents I have never seen kayak gini, his face is like a big problem that keeps an enormous problem," Rio who was sitting next to Agam was responding to what Agam told me about Raffan who today just entered college after a three-day holiday is already carrying a much different person, he said, obviously make his friends so astonished and wonder what is with his friend.
"Yes, the time in class is also not a lot of talk, pay attention to the lesson described so seriously when we know what our friend is doing," this time Gerry chimed in.
Now the four friends are talking about Raffan who is not as usual.
"Gue is sure there is something that happens just as well as children," said Gumay whose face has healed perfectly from the battered made by Marco.
Agam, Rio and Gerry nodded so compactly in agreement with what was said by Gumay, it was very clear that there was a problem that was happening to one of their friends, but what's the problem they don't know.
"Gue had asked him once, and said that there was a story problem but Raffan went straight away, wanted to go to Dad's house he said," timpal Agam who was talking to Raffan when they were leaving Mushola.
"Let us however still not be able to do anything if Raffan himself does not even want to tell what the problem is to all of us," said Agam enough to know himself not to interfere too in what is happening to the friend especially his friend was also reluctant to tell when he asked.
Gerry agreed to what Agam said, according to him after Raffan married and there are problems related to marriage they can not interfere with maybe just giving advice is still allowed even if the person who immediately asked for advice, he said, if not, do not try to enter because later it will only complicate what happens.

The car that Raffan brought was parked in the yard of his parents' house by being waded by the yellowing twilight sky.
Raffan's steps look heavy, actually he does not want to come to his parents' house if it is not forced, because he knows what will happen after he comes to his parents' house, because he knows what will happen after he comes to his parents' house, moreover, it was his mother who asked him to come, obviously there was a certain intent.
"Assalamualaik."
Raffan stood before the door before not stepping in even if the door was opened a little, he preferred to wait for the answer to the greeting he said.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," answered the greeting along with a woman who was heading to the door to welcome the arrival of the child who had since last come to his house began to keep a distance with him.
Of course all that because of his actions also suddenly asked to be given a grandson, asking his son-in-law to immediately get pregnant while as a human being he also knew all could happen at the will of the almighty, he said, the owner of the universe is most powerful over all the creatures in this world.
Raffan bowed and took the mother's hand and kissed the back of her hand, however she was the mother, the woman who had fought to give birth to him into the world and took care of him with affection, and after what his mother did to his wife he must still pay respect to show that he is not a child who will be disobedient just because the problems he was once a man had no power to resist.
"You're still here, Deefa's still in the village, right? you have nothing to do in the house."
Just wanted to step in but his mother had started to talk a lot, asking him to stay over even though he to come to that house alone had to gather a lot of intentions, because she had to face various questions from her mother.
"Let's see later, ma'am," said Raffan finally who as a child would not feel good if he immediately refused.
The man then went straight up to the room while still unmarried, he wanted to avoid his mother, avoid being alone because he did not want to get questions about the results of the examination.
Raffan chose to take a shower and then change the shirt with Koko's shirt and wear a sarong, in the mosque near the house has been heard the sound of people who pray, now surely his father is also in the mosque
"Raffan to Masjid Bu," said to the new mother who will enter the room.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Assalamualaik."
"Wa'alaikumsalam," answered the mother looking at the child who began to pass out of the house.
The woman was well aware that her son, the only child to keep a distance from her since the incident when the child and his daughter-in-law stayed over was indeed the relationship between mother and child became tenuous, Raffan who usually will talk a lot and ask anything now becomes quiet and does not even ask how he is at this time, even though two days ago he was sick, he was sick, although only ordinary pain but he also wanted to get the attention of his only child.
Once at the mosque, Raffan immediately filled the third shaf along with the fathers and young children who often filled the mosque when prayer time came.
"Straighten and close the shaf" said a white-fisted man with a turban hanging over his shoulder, the man who will be the Maghrib prayer priest today.
Then in unison the Maghrib prayer congregation also tidied up their ranks so that Maghrib prayer was immediately carried out.
When he was going home he saw his father was talking to one of the mosque administrators to make Raffan immediately approached and then briefly mengbasi at the mosque manager who he also knew and deliberately waited for his father to finish talking so they can go home together.
"So before the Maghrib Adhan" said Raffan as he walked side by side with his father to the house.
"Deefa when is it back?" ask his father again.
Ustad Imran knew his son-in-law had not returned, knowing enough that perhaps the son-in-law still could not leave his own mother at home.
"Don't know Dad, later if Deefa already wants to go home he told Raffan," said Raffan while he took steps to balance his father's steps that were already very careful.
Ustad Imran just nodded, "what about your lecture? I've often not entered Dad worried that you will not be a scholar in the near future" said Ustad Imran while smiling, a meaningful smile, actually because he knows enough about his son's abilities.
"Insha Allah Raffan will become a scholar kok Yah, sooner or later" said Raffan.
According to him, for now he is more comfortable chatting with his father than with his mother, because in the household affairs that Raffan lived his father really never interfered, he said, already let Raffan become the figure of husband and head of the household, His father was quite understanding in that it made him quite calm because the one that put pressure on him and Deefa was just his mother, not both parents, and Raffan is hopeful that his father can help him if his mother continues to put pressure on him and Deefa.
Walking while talking does not feel like the two have now arrived home in welcome with women who are still wearing white face.
"We ate first yes, you must have not eaten," said the mother looking at Raffan who only nodded lightly without making a sound.
"So soon I open my face first." and then go into the room.
"Don't be too careful what your mother ever said, because the older the man will be the more he does excessive, I just ask you to be understanding and patient," pinta ustad Imran to the child standing next to him.
"Yes Dad, Raffan knows that Deefa doesn't know her mother very well" Raffan said.
"Then I ask you to continue to strengthen Deefa, strengthening your wife does not mean you have to fight parents, right? you can be fair, I will always help you to persuade your mother not to continue to impose her wishes" advised Ustad Imran while stroking the back of her son who now has responsibilities.
"Why are you still standing here? come to the dining room," Hayati who came out of the room looked at the two men who were instantly speechless when she came.
"Come Raffan," invite the father to the son who used to often provoke his emotions.
The son who does not feel at home and prefers to gather with his friends until the morning has now been very much changed, he said, there have been many changes since his son married a woman named Deefa.
Be grateful? of course he was very grateful that his son was no longer making his high blood rise with all his annoying behavior that often do troublemaking is no longer there, hopefully his son really changed and repented.
The three men were already sitting at the dinner table, enjoying dinner after Maghrib prayer, whereas usually Ustad Imran and his wife would eat after the prayer isya, he said, but they knew the boy must have not eaten until they decided to advance their dinner time.
"Eat you a little Raf?" ask his mother who noticed on the dinner plate his son only had a little rice and one kind of vegetable, even though today he has deliberately cooked various kinds of favorite food his son but instead not in the meal.
"It's enough, ma'am, before Raffan had already eaten the thing," lied Raffan, obviously he could not have told his parents, especially the mother, that since yesterday he had no taste for food.
Putting food into his body became something very difficult after he received and learned the examination results from his wife.
Which husband wouldn't be like this when the doctor sentenced his wife to be barren? not going to be able to give him a child, Raffan wanted to be in disbelief but the doctor had given a very detailed description making the sky as if it collapsed on his head and then slowly override and immerse his body into the earth.
Raffan clasped the spoon tightly in his hand as he returned to see what the doctor had told him, his eyes suddenly misty when the tears he did not want filled his eyelids, indeed he should not cry in front of his parents let alone his mother, would not it only make them ask questions and later will even find out he is storing grief alone.
