The Light of ANAS

Lost in the Swallowed Earth

Arfin felt very happy finally the wife who had been separated from him for a month and a half was willing to be invited home. He opened his mask and continued to smile as he walked to the exit waiting for his wife who was preparing to return home with him. He approached Lutfi who was sitting on the front porch chair.

“Cambet Lo Ar,, ?? senyam - his own smile is “, Lutfi is happy to be mocking his boss who he thinks is very annoying.

“This is why I am ready to go home, so I will not be lonely again, ”, he said smiling sumringah.

“Alhamdulillah, finally I did not get a salary cut”, Lutfi still remembered the fate of his salary.

“Lo even take care of salary, instead of being grateful for the happiness of I”, Arfin was protested because of it.

“Of course, I'm also happy, meaning you don't go crazy”, keep the edges mocking.

Suddenly came a man who was riding a old-fashioned vespa motorbike entering the open gate, how shocked when the man when he arrived in front of the porch of the house to see the whereabouts of Arfin and Lutfi.

Arfin instantly stood up and gave the person a stern look, “Badly,, how dare he come here !!”, he was still very upset at the new driver who had already lied to him.

“Gosh dragon, why the same Boss Mr Lutfi is here?”, he murmured slowly, then he was about to rotate the direction of his vehicle to go back.

“Heh, where are you going??”, Arfin's shout instantly stopped Uje who was about to escape.

“Alamak, this thirteen lilaka mah,, ouch,, mother, father, kumaha ieu,,, fired ieu mah fired geura”, Uje swearing in a soft voice.

“Ujang,, that's boss lo nanya tuh,, answer, before he was angry, because you say again sick so do not go to work, he does not like to be followed loh”, he does not like, Lutfi also railed against Uje.

“Don't mention that name, Lutfi,,!! call him Uje..”, Arfin tells Lutfi who apparently does not know the nickname of his new driver.

“Hehehehehe,,, well, I got a call from Mr. Bos, I got a call from Neng Bos, he said he was told to borrow Mr. Beno's old-school Vespa motorbike that likes to go to the park up ahead, because I want to ride this bike, hehehe”, he said cengengesan.

“Your reason, “, Afin still seems annoyed at Uje.

“Truly,, cius,, myalloh,, “, Uje shows two-fingered greetings.

“Kang Uje, that Vespa already can?”, Naz suddenly appeared directly to Uje, Arfin immediately put on his mask again,,

“Wahh, how can you, Mr Beno is still borrowing his motorbike? For how much?”, Naz was directly targeted at the Vespa motorbike that Uje had brought, as if he ignored the husband he passed by.

“Has rented using self-esteem or Neng Bos? Uje teh so tumbal”, he said with a sad face.

“Hah?? Tumba??”, Naz was shocked to hear that.

“Iya oruh Neng Bos,,,”, Uje confirming.

“That is, Kang Uje will be made into a mashup pesugihan Pak Beno? kang Uje died that ”, Naz thought that kind of collision.

“Not Neng Bos, Uje was given this bike on condition that later tonight had to date with his son Pak Beno who tada-rada it”, Uje also explained the meaning of his words.

“Hhaahahahaha…. “, Naz laughs with his crisp.

Arfin approached his wife who was talking to Uje, “Honey, you really want to ride this bike?”.

“He eum,, can ya?”, Naz ask permission.

“Not “, Arfin directly confirms.

“Aaahhh,,, I really want to ride this motorbike, the circumference of the complex is yes,,”, Naz continues to whine.

“Don't love,, you're pregnant again, don't ride the motor, ahh” danger, Arfin still forbid.

“Aaahhh, but who wants to be anaking,, “,Naz rubbed his stomach.

Arfin let out a heavy sigh, if he heard that his childish wish, he could not forbid it, but he was very worried, ”Yas, but the near one, yes, do not go around the complex”.

“Iya,,, “, Naz nodded and smiled happily.

“But, Aa who brought his motor”, he was not willing if his wife was piggybacked by someone else, especially if he reached the handle on another man.

“Iya, but change clothes first gih, there is the same shirt Aa kok shorts in wardrobe”, said Naz to the husband.

“Hah,,??”, Arfin then whispered to Naz, “Don't tell me you also brought CD Aa from home and wore it too huh?”, he asked suspiciously.

“Yes no, I will wear a dress more often, which is if I use CD Aa fit again the road sag, hahahaa”, just imagine it makes Naz laugh, “Udah there gih,, change clothes first, that shirt already smells dry ihh”, that's,

“Iya,, yes,”, Arfin pulled out the key of the Vespa motorbike brought by Uje, because he was afraid his super ignorant wife was reckless to go in the Uje's bell when he changed clothes,,, He went inside to change clothes.

Before long he returned wearing a shirt and shorts and flip-flops at home, of course, he again wore a mask and wore a hat on his head, it's just that now he uses sunglasses that he got from a closet drawer.

“Aa long time ago, “, Naz is impatient, whereas Arfin only left for five minutes.

Arfin just smiled,, he also boarded the Vespa motr and then turned it on, “Let's go,,,”, invite him.

“Ahh I don't want to,, Aa aja gih same bonce with Uje, continue later selfie photos ya”, Naz suddenly changed his mind.

“Not ahh,, why boncengan similar Uje”, Arfin refused raw-raw.

“Aaaahhh,, the boy who asked for it,, the spit, let us spit home”, Naz sold his son's name so that her husband would fulfill his wish.

Arfin could not refuse if Naz had issued his pinch, he was forced to ride a boncer with Uje, he took off his mask for a while.

As per Naz's request, he drove around the complex while taking pictures.

After Arfin fulfilled Naz's wish, they set out to return to Arfin's residence. During the trip Naz continued to stick to her same husband-sitting in the middle seat, while Bu Rahmi sat in front with Lutfi, the driver, and the driver, and Mbak Jum sat in the back seat with his suitcase and other goods.

Arriving at home, Arfin carried the sleeping Naz into the empty room opposite their room, he laid Naz down with his heart. Arfin sat on the edge of the bed, removed the mask that had been worn since leaving. He kissed his wife's forehead, which he had wanted to do. Arfin looked at Naz who seemed to be sleeping as fast as he wanted, as if he still could not believe that his wife had now returned and was in front of his eyes. While Mbak Jumi cleaned Naz's clothes and put them in the closet.

Arfin went back to his room to clean up and changed his clothes, he went back to the room where Naz was sleeping, and it turned out that the person was awake. Luckily Arfin before entering was already using a mask and glasses, so Naz could not see clearly his face.

“You're up, baby?”, Arfin approached Naz and he sat on the edge of the bed.

“He eum,,, I'm hungry”, Naz holds his stomach.

“Before, Aa to the kitchen first yes, ask to prepare food”, Arfin was about to get up, but his hand was held Naz as if forbidding him to leave.

“No want,,, want to eat out”, whine her.

“Already, you take a shower first, later we go abis magrib, responsibility if you leave now it's half six in the afternoon,” he said who saw his watch, he said, Naz immediately got up and went to the bathroom according to her husband's orders.

**

The two left after the magrib prayer, on the way Naz asked to eat at a Japanese restaurant, Arfin followed his wife's wishes.

Since then Arfin has always granted his wife's wishes even if it's a strange thing, and he never gets angry or yells at Naz again, if his wife makes a mistake or pranks him and other silly acts.

Naz enjoyed her pregnancy with her husband who always spoiled her. And after a four-monthly thanksgiving attended by neighbors and families from Jakarta, the cravings strangely disappeared, she no longer nausea vomiting when looking at her husband's face, just now she just wants to stick with her husband. Even if her husband comes home from work he will smell her body, not infrequently she forbids her husband to shower because he likes to smell her body. Every morning when her husband was getting ready to go to work was forbidden to use perfume, so Arfin would bring her perfume to the office and use it there.

**

Days change, Naz whose stomach gets bigger as she gets older, still doing her daily activities as usual. He carried out his duties as a wife as well as a student who studied in college. Arfin was increasingly protective of Naz, so wherever he went, in addition to being escorted by Uje also had to be accompanied by Retno's mother, like a Kindergarten child who was escorted by his caretaker.

Naz, who did not want to argue with her husband, was just confused with all the rules given by her husband, because he knew very well, it was for his good and also the baby in his womb who is now 33 weeks old. Of course, now Naz has felt discomfort, sometimes back pain, fatigue, every night feeling angry, frequent urination and so on. But it did not make her complain or regret her decision to immediately have children after marriage first, because her husband was very attentive to all kinds of things, even more attention than before.

Naz really enjoyed her role as a pregnant bumil who was very spoiled by her husband. Especially when feeling every movement of the baby in the stomach, making him feel very happy matchless, because according to the doctor's speech, an active baby in the stomach indicates a good and healthy growth and development.

Naz, who had just finished the semester exam, decided to take a break from college, because his body was getting tired quickly and he wanted to focus on preparing for his delivery, which was only a few weeks away, because he was determined to have a normal delivery and according to the doctor his condition was very possible to give birth normally.

He also followed the gymnastics of pregnant women with a husband who always faithfully menamanya, besides that he often listen to the chants of the holy verse of the Qur’an and classical music on the baby in the womb.

Her parents are also increasingly concerned, they often contact to remind Naz to always maintain health and prepare physically and mentally to face labor later, as well as her husband who is required to be a husband. In fact they often come to visit alternately, sometimes this week Mother and Father come, two weeks later Mami and Papi, and two more weeks Mama and Papa.

Naz and Arfin only need to prepare a name and nursery for their child later, because after the seven-month event, the mother-mother trio has bought all kinds of baby needs. Starting from diapers, clothes, knickknacks, beds, blankets, stroller, baby bouncher, toiletries, toys, pacifier equipment, to baby diaper clothes are complete as Naz wishes, too, all are neutral colors aka can be used baby boy or girl, except pink, because they really no one knows the sex of the baby in the womb Naz.

Now Naz just stay at home, occasionally go to the mall or to where he wants, of course accompanied by his husband. Every morning Naz regularly walks around the complex with her husband according to the advice of the doctor and also her mother trio, in addition to maintaining her health as well in order to smooth the way of delivery later. Arfin also kept his wife's diet, which doctors said did not eat too much and snack to avoid obesity as well so that the baby was not too big.

After dinner, Naz and Arfin return to his room. Naz sat down while leaning on the bed rest by placing a pillow behind his body, making him comfortable because it felt soft while playing his phone. While the husband sitting next to him was serious with his laptop.

Naz also turned on the television and pressed the button on his TV remote to look for a viewing channel that interests him, more precisely just vent his frustration because he is not allowed to go to Jakarta, after getting word that Raline gave birth.

Naz glanced at her husband,

“Aa what more?”.

“Work,,,”, answer is short.

“Oh, work yes,, in the work office,, in the work house”, Naz as if satirizing with a rather taut tone.

Arfin let out a long sigh, then turned his head and threw a smile at his wife, “Sorry dear, a moment yes, after checking a few emails, the work was done”

“Hmmmm...”, Naz looks upset.

Arfin, who heard about it, then stopped his work, turned off his laptop and got up to put it on his desk. He sat back down and bent his body to kiss his wife's distended stomach,

“Sorry yes anaking,, Pagu has not greeted you tonight”, he said who then stroked his wife's stomach.

“Anking in kiss, Magu-nya enggak”, said Naz still with a ketus tone.

Arfin chuckled and re-enforced his body, then kissed all parts of his wife's face. Then he noticed Naz's face.

“You're pouting that's it, baby,,? have you kissed, or want more, hem??”, he said, who then poked Naz's cheek, but he still looks upset. Arfin sighed for a moment,

“Sorry dear,,, Aa does not mean to make you sad or keep you away from your sister,, you will again be pregnant big, it is not recommended to travel far, let alone to board a plane,,, you will not be able to,, Aa forbid you to go also for the good of you and our baby, after all we can video call to see Raline's baby, and Aa has ordered a gift to be sent there,,,, anyway,,,”, Arfin gave understanding to his wife.

“But since I was pregnant I only once went to Jakarta, and that was two months ago, because I was busy in college,, it was my turn to leave college,,, and,, I'm the one who didn't go there, I miss the same family there“, Naz expressed his frustration.

“Iya dear, Aa know,, again ipula right our parents often visit here, even Oma same Opa also have been here, right,, and you also often communicate with them, later if you have given birth and our baby is quite large and can ride a toilet we can go to Jakarta, already dong do not frown so yes,, yes, you can,,when you are upset later the child can be sad,,”, Arfin kissed Naz again, his left hand embracing to bring Naz into his embrace, while the right hand caresses the beautiful belly elus.

“Aa,,,”, call him.

“Iya,, “. Arfin.

“Udah have not yet found a name for our child?”, Naz just remembered the name given to their child later.

“Eh yes,, not yet dear,, because the word mother-mother nyari new name can be after seven months, eh even forgetfulness because of our busyness, Aa who is busy in the office, and,, and you're busy preparing for the test, what name do you give me? what is looking on the internet to know the meaning of his name is also”, he said at length.

“Boleh also, my three best friends on giving us a name reference for our son, but strangely-freak his name”, Naz remembered on his three best friends who wanted to donate a name.

“Emang they give you what name?”, asked Arfin curiously.

“Kiara nih the first, he said because we were met by the lake, soan there, even Aa proposed to me also there, he gave the name Lakesha”, Naz explained the advice of his friends one by one.

“Hah, Lakesha? That's a girl's name, right?”, Arfin was astonished.

“Iya said Lake is a lake so if our baby girl called Lake-sha”, Naz explained.

“Keep that for the male name Lake-pret?”, Arfin even asked him to joke.

“Hahaha, no, but Lake-boy said?”, the laughing Naz said the other name.

“Don't ah yank, the Lake was read Lek, our ntar time is called Lek-boy, like the name of bath soap ih”, Arfin rejected the name.

“Thank you Asepso too,,,”, Naz is now the one joking.

“What?”, Arfin feels foreign to the name Naz mentioned.

“That's soap make itch-itch”. replied Naz grin.

“More bad,,,hahaha”, Arfin laughs at his wife's stubbornness.

“Well if Ruby, she nagsih names from the abbreviation of our name, Kan I Rheanazwa, while Aa Al arifin, she said our name is Rheal.. I say kayak the name of the Arab currency, he continues to stay added aja what is difficult so Rheal Madrid, Rheal good, Rheal Life, or combined the same name from Kiara to Rheal Lake,,, Rheal Lake, or combined,, already said I love the name of Santuy all of you,, the basis of their ngaco tuh”, Naz cursed sahabaytnya.

“Hahaha,, how?” Andes continues, It seems that Arfin is getting curious about the strange names of Naz's companions.

“She was worse,, Thanks to the names Bambang, Alexander, Aderald, Byakta, Xavier, Dareen”, Naz mentioned one by one the Andes suggested.

“Good it's his names, but men all ya”, Arfin precisely praised.

“Iya if the name for a man is good, the turn of the woman he gave his name, Bambangwati, Alexanderwati, Aderaldwati, Byaktawati, Xavierwati, Dareenwati,, less strange what try,,,,”.

“Hahaha,, creative is yank,,,”, Arfin laughs instead.

“Or say Andes find a unique name like the name of the artist's child, who's the name, oh yes, He's Sekala Bumi or Kinasih Browse the Earth,,”, said Naz remembered.

“Our son wants to be given the name Lost Swallowed by Earth, is that it? hahahaa”, Arfin continued to joke.

“After the Richter” Scale Earthquake, Naz even chimed in her husband's jokes.

“Or if the Earth is not Rotating On Its Shaft”, Arfin is getting bigger.

“Iya, keep his nickname Rotation”, Naz do not want to lose so upset.

“Not dear, but the call is Pororo”, It's more strange, not ngaco anymore.

“Kok Pororo? Like the name of a cotton character ?”, asked Naz wonder.

“And the Earth Rotates On Its Shaft, so the Shaft is twisted so Pororo, hahaha”, Arfin laughs at his own words.

“Iihhhh , Aa very bad sih,, give a good name tuh atuh, which means good too, so the name of our child can be a prayer for him and us as his parents,,, so,, this is even a strange name,,”, Naz finally so crank again and immediately lay sideways to his back, then covered himself with a blanket.

Arfin who felt guilty, then went back to persuade his wife,

“Yank,,, dear, don't sulk dong,,,”, persuade him.

“Au ahh, sleepy,,”, Naz knows.

He also remembered the favorite toy of the wife, “Yank, baby, pity nih the kangen ujang same cute, he said”, he said, he said as he rubbed his wife's arm.

Naz allowed the husband, “Si Cute lost swallowed by the earth. hmhhh”, he said in a jutek tone.
