The Love That Is Taken

Pricked

As she began to sink into her preoccupation of enjoying popcorn and the story of the movie in front of her, suddenly a voice next to her said, “Mas, my popcorn is gone. But I'm still hungry...”.

“Oh, yes eat my popcorn. Here,” said the man while thrusting his popcorn box.

“I told you not to eat salty and sweet mixed popcorn. What are you, Mas?”

“Hush, don't be hard, Yang. Not good with the other spectators. What do you want to eat again?”

“Fried potatoes.”

“Ok. Then what else? Let me buy you guys.”

“That's aja.”

“Good. Wait, yes.”

The husband was afraid that the wife would come down again to buy his wife's inexhaustible order. I was really bullied, he thought annoyed. But if I do not obey him, then There will even scream hysterically like at home. Even make you ashamed, complained Jonathan in his heart.

Arriving at the store, he immediately ordered french fries. While waiting for his order to be prepared, he asked what other snacks were ready.  “There is a sandwich, sir,” said the shop's waiter. Instead of later I was told to buy another snack, should I just buy a piece of sandwich, huh? thought clever. “Ya already, Mas. I bought one sandwich too, yes,” he said decided.

The waiter nodded. Shortly after, he handed Jonathan his order. The man hurried back to the studio where his wife was waiting.

“This is the potato, Yang,” he said as soon as he got to his seat back. As usual, Theresa without the ba-bi-bu immediately accepted the package and devoured the contents by herself without offering her husband.

Where did the movie get to, huh? I really do not understand, Jonathan's mind watched the scene and dialogue that had not been understood because it paused back and forth due to buying his wife's orders. He did not feel his eyes closed and he fell asleep. After a while he suddenly jumped out of his seat as he felt someone pinch his arm.

“There, why did you pinch me?”

“Hush, don't be hard. Shame, Mas.”

Jonathan glared at his wife. The feeling from earlier you were trying to embarrass me, he thought furiously. Patience, Jon. Patience…. It's a public place. Don't let your wife get hysterical. Now the digital age. If there is a commotion in a public place, it is often recorded by irresponsible individuals and verbalized on social media. You don't want your family's good name and your company's reputation to be tarnished, do you? Patience.patience.., her mind calms down.

“Kan already paid for expensive tickets, kok left to sleep, anyway? Watch, dong!” whispered Theresia in a high tone.

How am I supposed to concentrate on watching if you're always interrupting to buy these downstairs? grumbled her husband in heart. The sleepiness is gone. Replacing with a feeling of resentment that cannot be expressed because it will make the situation become runyam. Finally he could only spend the rest of his popcorn while trying to enjoy the storyline of the film in front of him.

“Mas...”.

“What else?”

“Kok you the response is that, anyway? I don't love anymore, do I?”

Jonathan tried to hold back. He said softly, “What's up, honey? Are you still a lecturer? It's no sandwich.”

“Lho, when did you buy it?”

“So when I bought potatoes, I bought sandwiches too. Just in case you are still hungry.”

“Oh, so. But I'm full, anyway.”

“Yes, it's okay. Let me eat later.”

“Why later? Now you eat. I'm not hungry, kok.”

“I'm still full because I just spent a big popcorn alone.”

“Oh, so. Um.., I'm thirsty, Mas. My mineral water is up.”

“Yes, drink mine. There's still a little.”

Theresia immediately downed the bottle of mineral water that her husband offered.

“Very few contents, Mas. Less.”

“You attach more importance to an unknown audience than your thirsty wife?”

Start again, Jonathan thought bitterly. He saw the pouting face of Theresia. In the past, his frowning lips were immediately crushed to the point that he had difficulty breathing, he murmured inwardly. Now I want to slap it if I don't remember she's the wife I should love.

“What do you want to drink?” asked the man finally gave up.

“Mineral water kayak earlier. Not cold.”

“Ok.”

For the umpteenth time the husband who really tested his patience came down to please his beloved wife.

“Film was good, huh, Mas? I liked. Brad Pitt is old but still cool, Theresia said when she and her husband were on their way home. Jonathan who concentrated on driving the car only answered briefly, “Iya.”

“So you think the movie was good?”

“Iya.”

“Try telling me which part is good?”

Jonathan gasp. He feels trapped. How could he understand the storyline if throughout the film he paced back and forth like a cinema waitress?

“I didn't focus on watching earlier, Yang. So do not know the movie is good or not,” replied the man frankly.

“Lha, you fell asleep earlier. Kan dear already bought expensive tickets not to watch the movie.”

Jonathan clenched his teeth holding back his almost overflowing anger. Apparently Theresia realized that. The woman then shouted defiantly, “Mas, why are you grinding your teeth? Are you angry with me?!”

Her husband doesn't care about her. He tried to drive quietly. His wife who felt it was not considered to be hysterical.

“Jonathan Aditya! Why didn't you answer my question? What do you think I am?!”

Worry, Jonathan thought worriedly. Theresia rumat! I had to stop my car for a while so that nothing untoward happened.

“Why stop?” asked the woman whose anger had been in the bushes to see her husband stop his car on the side of the road.

Jonathan turned and looked at his wife's face that was crimson. I should have been the one to get angry, not you! mind's irritated.

“Darling, have you forgotten since earlier in the cinema you told me to go back and forth to buy this-that? How can I focus on watching movies with such distractions?”

“So buy food and drinks for your hungry wife you consider a nuisance?! Then what about your attitude to talk friendly with your old friend named Mina? Is that a pleasure?”

“I don't speak affectionately, Honey. You'll see for yourself I didn't even recognize him when he greeted me!”

“Huh, at most you are just pretending because there is me!”

“Why don't you trust me, Yang?”

“Because you are a basket! In front of your own wife dare to chat long with beautiful women. The skirt was even more mini than the skirt I was wearing!”

“Hah?! I didn't even notice what she was wearing, There!”

“Lying! Obviously she wears a white mini skirt and says no look.”

“For God's sake, There! I didn't notice it at all.”

“Then what did you notice? Is that blond hair? Or her sensual lips like Angelina Jolie?!”
