The Little Wife of Arsen

Q2: Give Pause to Breathe

It's not as easy as people imagine. As much as possible Alea tried to remember what happened, in fact it would only end with her ears buzzing loudly with a headache. The fact that they were divorced was actually not so surprising to Alea, because since the hospital she had felt strange because Arsen did not wear their wedding ring, he also wears a different ring.

Alea remembered her wedding ring and Arsen had no initials in it, but the ring she was wearing now had her initials there.

Alea was curious as to what had happened between them before she fell into a coma. Only, the pain in his head made Alea unable to accept the memories of reality at once. Let everything be gradual. At least Arsen had the courage to speak honestly, not trying to lie to him like he used to.

Not just surrounding the complex park as the initial plan. Alea asked that they not go home immediately because she had a little trouble breathing when trying to remember the reason they divorced.

So here they are now, Arsen brought it to the park outside the housing complex which is clearly much more crowded than the park before. There are some people who exercise, there are also some lovebirds who sit enjoying their Sunday nights, there are also some families who play bicycles with their children. Alea smiled at the sight, her breathing was much more orderly than before.

Sitting on one of the garden chairs, Alea looked at the couple sitting not far from them, the husband stroking his wife's large belly which made Alea reflexively stroke her own stomach.

"Cool yes, mas"

Arsen, who was kneeling in front of Alea while tying Alea's shoelaces, looked up at the beautiful face of the woman. "Who? What's cool? It was from birth"

Alea laughs. This is the other side of Arsen that Alea used to see when this man was with Dira. Didn't expect that Arsen would show him now.

"Such a vow you are. The power used to be flat never joking with me. It's so different now"

"Well, the old man was a jerk, and Arsen is now a dick"

"Do you know what bucin means?"

Alea shifted a little to make room for Arsen to sit next to him.

"Love boy?"

Alea rounded her eyes and nodded. Arsen used to be very busy in the office, not hanging out with anyone other than Kenzo, so Alea did not expect that Arsen knew the term "Betul. But what's cool isn't you" Alea pointed towards the couple.

"They? Why?"

"Cool, because two people who used to not know each other even sometimes born in different provinces there are also different countries. Keep meeting, falling in love, marriage, it's finished there's a baby growing in a woman's womb. That's cool"

Alea turned his head as it was rubbed so gently.

"Come start from the beginning everything is the same I deck. Because I want to have a child with you too. A sign that there is love between us"

A smile formed so handsome on Arsen's face right now. What Alea had hoped for at their wedding was now fully obtained.

"I want to go home to us, quickly" Alea said. There are still many lists that Alea wants to do with Arsen. The list they had never done had never even come out of Alea's mouth at all.

Such as; cook together, vacation together, gardening together to enjoy dusk on the terrace with two cups of tea. Alea wanted to do all that.

Arsen nodded in agreement. It wasn't just Alea who wanted to return to their home. Arsenic is the same. Their wedding will be held this week as well.

"If you're willing, we'll get married again this week. And have a wedding party at our house" Arsen suggested. The theme of the wedding party would be for him to leave it all to Alea. Women must have their own desire for a wedding.

"Every first lady" Arsen replied as he saluted Alea. The woman laughed again. And Arsen promised himself, it would make Alea continue to laugh during her stay with him. His honesty today was well received by Alea, then the next honesty only needed Arsen to prepare mentally so that Alea could also accept it as now.

"It's Alea, isn't it?"

As the two coolly laughed, the sound of the mothers interrupting made their laughter pause for a moment. Ms. Popi—neighbor whose house only differs a few blocks from the mother standing in front of them.

Only Arsen knew Popi's mother here, while Alea seemed to frown trying to remember the woman who used training pants in the same color as the shirt used.

"Mas Arsenic. It's Alea, isn't it?"

Alea turned towards Arsen. Alea did not know the woman standing in front of them. Alea was sure not that she had lost her memory of not knowing these mothers, but that Alea did not know her or perhaps because they had only met a few times.

"Who's the mas?" whispered Alea.

The man who heard the whisper seemed to laugh wryly. "Don't you remember me? Yes, we just met a few times. Pas mbak to Amel's mother's house because of the divorce"

Arsen cleared his throat loudly. He did not like the sentence of Popi's mother just now "Iya bu Popi. It's Alea" replied Arsen flatly.

"Eh, is that really Alea?. How's mbak?"

Since Popi's mother's hand was stretched out towards him, it was inevitable for Alea to shake it "Good ma'am" Alea replied with a faint smile.

"Cool you guys. I split up but could be a friend. Ma'am Alea must have played to Amel's mother's house again?"

"Emmm.. Yes ma'am" Alea replied. The look on the face did not like Alea to see from Arsen's handsome face now. The man looks so uncomfortable with the presence of Popi's mother.

Mrs Popi clapped her hands once. As if finding an answer to Alea's presence here "Ah. Ma'am Alea would like to give an invitation to Miss Amel yes"

Alea furrowed her forehead confused "Invitation?"

"Yes invitation. I heard Alea wants to get married. Must have come here too because of the Arsen mas ngundang huh mbak? I wasn't invited?"

Both Alea and Bu Popi were both shocked when Arsen suddenly stood up. Moreover, Alea because her hand was pulled Arsen to stand.

"What am I invited to? Alea and I are getting married soon, Mom. We refer. So, the groom obviously has to come right?"

"Eh? The same as Arsen? The one I heard sama—"

"It's night. We'll excuse you ma'am" cut Arsen fast. Clutching her hand at Alea, Arsen took Alea to walk back to the mother's house.

Can you give him a break to breathe after being honest about their divorce?

He needed to breathe first before offending Saga.
