The Huckold Married??
A Free Effort?
The knocking sound from the door made Deefa who was about to open the white envelope undo his intention when after the knock he heard the sound of greeting spoken.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," he said in a voice that was not high but also not low, while certainly not going to be heard by the person at the door there.
The woman immediately stored the envelope on a pile of clothes on a dresser chair near the closet of course she was still interested in reading the results of the examination in detail especially if she had not seen it at all.
"Assalamualaik."
"Wa'alaikumsalam." again replied when greeting for the second time he heard along with accelerated footsteps in order to reach the door and open the door to find out who came, and who came, from his voice can be ascertained that the visitor was a woman.
Only then did Deefa no longer hear the sound of greeting, perhaps the person behind the door heard the greeting from her.
Deefa's hand stretched out to turn the door lock and lowered the doorknob pulling her inside until now she could see who the person who had come to visit when she was still very busy with household affairs, of course because it's still at 9 am I don't know who the guy who came to see you at this hour.
"Mbak Aliya" Deefa said when she found her neighbors who were the talk of residential mothers when shopping for vegetables the other day.
The woman named Aliya smiled very friendly, this was the first time the woman came to her house and the first time Deefa also saw the woman with a very close distance, she said, usually Deefa just saw the woman passing by his car and once said hello when Deefa was throwing garbage and the woman named Aliya was about to go to work alone and now either there what wind was the woman visiting her house, the woman who was indeed aged on it showed a very friendly and polite face, really, Deefa felt sorry when considering the woman in front of her is a conversation because she has not had children.
"I'm learning to cook from YouTube and still don't know who to ask for it because if I try it myself, I'm sure I say delicious," I'm Aliya while showing a bowl of food that looks like it's a tongseng.
Deefa smiled then swiftly picked up the bowl that Aliya gave, "let's go in first Ma'am," take Deefa to her guests who might be her new friends in this housing after half a year just say hello when looking at each other.
Aliya happily accepted the invitation from the owner of the house, of course, she had not worked since yesterday decided to stay home and focus on having children because of her husband, her parents and in-laws asked her to have children.
He who was bored finally decided to learn to cook since this morning and Deefa was the destination to be able to taste the cuisine he made, he said, of course, about him who was the talk of the women in the housing he already knew until he felt that only Deefa could be made a friend because he was also a little more already finding out about one the neighbor who has a background of a Muslimah, of course, he will not feel judged for not having children if friends with Deefa.
The two women turned out to be very easy to get along with, just a few minutes of sitting together and just talking about a lot of what they talked about, from the beginning about the cuisine that finally got a correction from Deefa to the end about Aliya who told her life without being asked.
It seems that the woman really needs a friend who can share stories about everything she feels including her desire to have children soon.
The problems of the two women were no different so that the two could easily connect in speaking.
"I still want to keep working, but my husband continues to insist because he is also being sued by his family, otherwise.."
Aliya paused her words maybe she was not able to continue what she wanted to say or indeed she was trying to strengthen her heart first before expressing what had been a concern for several months in his household for many years.
Deefa did not dare to voice her question even though her heart felt extremely curious but she could not possibly ask the woman who had just become familiar with her to finish her words.
Deefa could see the look of a face that was so sad with her eyeballs that had looked bright now even look sad and reddened, clearly the woman in front of her was harboring sadness.
He felt what his new friend was feeling, because she also happened to be experiencing the thing that Aliya told her about the difference she had just been married half a year and only her in-laws were suing while her husband was not, but still the name of the woman when she knows the sadness of her people will also feel her sadness.
Deefa shifted her seat and stroked the shoulder of the woman who began to shed tears with her lips that were unable to put out word for word because she could not ask Aliya to be patient while she was ever since getting a lawsuit from her mother-in-law also immediately asked her husband to do an examination to find out what and why she was not pregnant.
He is still quite new in that regard but of course it will feel the same if we are required to immediately have children while the almighty is not willing to give it.
"My husband will remarry if I haven't been able to give him any children."
Aliya's cry broke out after continuing what was a burden on her mind, really she was actually very embarrassed just getting to know and be familiar but instead had a story about her household, did it not sound very sad? to the extent that he was now crying sobbing with tears flowing down his face.
Deefa also gave a hug of calm to the long-haired woman but now in the middle of the midget, a midget, stroking her without being able to say anything because hearing that made her think what if she were Aliya's position, what would she do when she heard her own husband say he would marry again? angry or crying like Aliya is doing now?
Just minutes of crying, Aliya finally realized with her attitude that should not cry when she had just become close to her neighbor.
Aliya parsed her embrace and wiped her tears.
"This is Ma'am," Deefa gave the tissue she took from the small table beside her.
"Thank you" said Aliya took two pieces of tissue and shrank the tears from both eyes and cheeks.
"I am not shameless, just know but have a long story of personal problems using a crying event anyway" said Aliya while trying to smile that is very forced, very forced, her heart is certainly very naughty after so many years of marriage but her husband even wants to marry again because of the offspring that never attended, she said, it is wrong that used to delay having children to pursue a career but should be abandoned by the husband if he has not also given children?
"It's okay, Ma'am, every human being has the right to tell stories want to know or not, as long as Mbak feels comfortable and safe telling it is not a problem" Deefa said.
Aliya nodded faintly then her hand************tissu as she was venting her heart about the grief that was whack.
"Did you check?"
Aliya gave me a headband, "my husband doesn't want to check, since before I stopped working I've been urging him to check but he always refused and instead told me to do the examination himself, he's very selfish right? whereas I know the issue of heredity not only from women but also from men, he and his family accused me of being unwell without knowing his own condition," Aliya made Deefa sigh.
Indeed, when he heard all that made Deefa feel very grateful that God had given her a very understanding husband, very affectionate with her and also looked very mature despite her age is very young.
Such a conversation would indeed be very draining of feelings and tears even Deefa who heard it was not able to hold back tears that flowed without notice made Aliya surprised and suddenly apologized.
"Sorry Deef, I shouldn't have to confide in this" said Aliya, feeling guilty for making her neighbor cry.

"Raffan where? I saw him like Gam, now I've told him again, son," asked Gumay to Agam who will put his books in the bag because it's time to go home.
"There is business" said Agam without looking at the friend who was standing in front of his desk.
"Feelings there are affairs Mulu tuh son," murmured Gumay bawel.
"He's married while we haven't, so don't compare or demand that Raffan be like us May, he's already got the responsibility he should be.."
"Yes yes I understand, mending us go home yok now," cut Agam's explanation arbitrarily he was not willing to listen to Agam's lecture this time about marriage and not married, obviously if left will be a long affair and will not be finished quickly, is not this Agam a descendant of an ustadz? of course, he was accustomed to listening to lectures every day and could have been at any time Agam became the successor of his father.
Agam raised the angle of his eyebrows to see Gumay's hot behavior listening to his speech.
"You don't want to be in May's ruqyah?" ask Agam.
"As necessary, later I convulsed so many demons in my body," chirped Gumay self-conscious probably in his body that a lot of demons that inhabit.
Agam shook his head and put on his backpack and sauntered out of the classroom.
The two of them walked towards the parking lot and stopped when they found Rio talking to their lecturer Pak Angga.
Maybe he was asking one of the tasks that had been given, because Rio is a bit slow when it comes to lessons sometimes prefer to ask for notes belonging to his friend rather than having to record it during lesson time.
"Gue thinks this boy will continue," whispered Gumay doubted the brain performance of his friend.
Agam ignored Gumay's words no matter what his friend was raving because he was now reading the message Raffan sent him.
Her friend is now heading to one of the hospitals to meet with the doctor who has been recommended by her brother, the doctor who used to help the brother during pregnancy and also during childbirth.
Agam hoped that the doctor could help his friend because now it was the only help he could provide for Raffan.
"Gue went straight to Gam's workshop" Gumay reported as Agam was about to walk into the car park.
"Yes, I went home first after my new Maghrib to the workshop."
"Sip!" Gumay gave a thumbs up with a wide grin.
"May!" just now Gumay wanted to get on his bike even the sound of his friend made him stop and stared waiting for his friend to approach.
"Gue nebeng Lo, my bike in my adek pinjem," pinta Rio who did not bring the vehicle this morning just came to campus by riding an online motorcycle.
"Ck, I'm going to Fara's place to catch him," I showed Gumay the contents of his bag full of Fara's ordered goods.
"It's all right, just nganter doang right? do not use this kangen meeting event," said Rio still insistent on wanting to ride his friend.
Gumay also raised his shoulders, "yes it's up to you as long as you don't make a fuss over Lo's mouth if I'm late."
"No long time ago Lo, the guy I was talking to was Agam going straight to the workshop," Rio laughed cunningly.
"Damn it," Gumay's maki was accompanied by a snort.
Raffan had just come out of the house of one of the hospitals in Jakarta with a face that was a little more calm than last night, doesn't that mean what he wants can go well after his conversation with the doctor.
He then rushed to go to the workshop because this morning he had told his wife would go straight to the workshop.
The car he was driving began to drive along with other vehicles on the road with the sun that had been hiding behind the black clouds since noon, but surprisingly even though the sky was very dark but the rain did not come down as well, only the atmosphere and air only turned cooler because there was no sun that provided warmth.
In the house Deefa was sitting with the paper in her hand.
Sitting on the edge of the bed with tears that had been wetting his entire face for thirty minutes.
When Aliya had come home and she had returned alone at home intending to continue what she had been working on and delayed because of Aliya's arrival.
Want to tidy up her husband's wardrobe and when she looked back at the envelope on the pile of clothes her husband was also curious to see the contents, until her heart suddenly failed she opened the first envelope containing the examination report belonging to her husband.
His blood flowed very quickly when he saw the results and then with the same curiosity he also opened the other envelope which of course contained an examination report of his and in an instant he was struck by lightning making his world feel spinning until he was not able to put a foot suddenly dawdled on the floor, he said, his gaze was already engaged until he had to support his body on the edge of the table even he had to bother reaching for the bed in order to sit on it.
