The Perfect Love

The Perfect Love

"It's so pretty of you" Nurpiah commented, staring at Arini, who was covering her head with an apple-green veil.

"Fahri's seen your wife beautiful isn't she?" Nurpiah asked Fahri who stared for a moment at Arini. Not commenting he even continued to eat fried rice menu sarapanya this morning.

"Bang!" And the one sitting next to him rebuked him.

"What Deck?" tanya Fahri looked towards You.

"Arini's pretty, right?"

"Yes," only that finally came out of Fahri's mouth regarding Arini's appearance.

After marrying Fahri, Arini decides to cover her head with a veil. She has now become Fahri's wife. He should pay close attention to what he is wearing. Unlike before, being polite doesn't matter.

"Abang goes first Dek," You kiss the back of Fahri's hand which then nenggup his forehead.

The same thing was done by Arini. He kissed Fahri's back. There was a sense of awkwardness that Fahri felt as he kissed Arini's forehead. Arini could only be quiet. He can feel that the kiss given Fahri is not a feeling of love but just an ordinary kiss without meaning.

"You're patient" You try to cheer up Arini who's trying to smile"

"But Bang's weight became his second wife" Arini recalled with the words Asti.

"Arini, you're daydreaming."

"Gee!"

"Have no thought, let's have breakfast now."

***

Arini no longer works as a cashier in Indomaret. He decided to stop working. He now focuses on the business of making order cakes.

"Say you want to open a cafe?" You ask. He helps Arini in finishing the order cake.

"You remember my wish."

"How about this you talk to Bang Fahri."

"Will Bang Fahri agree?"

"God willing, whatever you do is good. You can also help others because by opening a cafe business you also open jobs for others."

Nurpiah went into the kitchen.

"Is this an order too?" Nurpiah asked while pointing towards the roll sponge placed on a serving plate in front of him.

"Ndak kok Mak if the sponge cake is indeed for home."

Nurpiah then sliced the sponge cake. He was biting the piece of sponge in which there was orange jam.

"This cake is so delicious Arini must have made it."

"It's made by me and also You Mak."

"Yes, but if you don't help him for sure he can't make it," said Nurpiah then left the kitchen.

"Aren't you okay Ri?" ask Arini worriedly. He stared at Youari who had his face changed immediately to hear Nurpiah's comment.

Arini did not understand why Nurpiah did not seem to like Andari.

" Nothing, we continue to make the cake again this black forest will be taken at three o'clock."

***

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the vibration is not there. You know how someone who has love for others must feel some kind of vibration whereas I do for Arini, I don't feel that vibration."

Nizar exhaled and said, Nizar,

"Abang has never experienced what you feel, polygamy, especially now you are required to be fair to your wives. Brother can only suggest you just live all this, rest assured someday you will definitely be able to accept Arini as your wife."

"You don't worry like that."

***

"Assalamualaikum," Fahri said a greeting.

'"Walaikumsalam," Arini answered the greeting.

"Where are you?"

"Kok coming home you immediately asked about Andari," Nurpiah who said. His face was not very fond of what Fahri did.

"And in the kitchen bang."

Just now Arini said that, You come out of the kitchen carrying a plate of cooked tempoak mixed with peeled shrimp and put it on the dining table.

"Abang has come home apparently. I've prepared the hot water Bang."

Fahri then took a shower. After the shower, he had dinner with his wife and mother.

"How does Bang feel?" ask Andari for an opinion about the tempo he cooked with Arini.

"Nob."

"That's how Arini cooks." Nurpiah said, he smiled at Arini.

"Me and You who cook Bang," corrects Arini.

"Want to add more rice?" ask Andari.

"Dek, please get me some more rice brother," Fahri handed the plate to Andari who was sitting in front of him.

"Why don't you ask Arini who's sitting next to you?"

Fahri did not win but the words of his mother who looked irritated.

"It's okay, Mom."

"This Bang."

Fahri nodded in response.

The dinner continued without any more conversation between them.
