The RoofTop Girl's
After Marriage's...
Not the point that causes the ink
It is ink that causes the point
It is not beauty that causes love
Except love that causes beauty

People say the first six months of marriage is a golden period where love grows and blossoms in every corner of the house, people say. It could not either. The evidence is that many are divorced in the first six months, why can? I don't know, maybe the foundation that became their reason for building a household is not so sturdy that the house can easily collapse and be destroyed.
His life is happy, so to speak. Brother Dimas loved him more than anything even himself. They live together in the apartment of Dimas, because Ara is not allowed to live with them, the reason mama, mama and papa there are no friends at home if Ara comes to Jakarta.
He has no more work, just waiting for the graduation schedule to be held next week, weighing up, whether after this want to find a job or continue studying again, or the third option, or the third option, being a housewife babysitting children. Of course the third option had not been on his mind list.
"Later to have a child at home." The words were once thrown from the lips of Brother Dimas. And of course make it a dilemma, because the will of the husband is a little different from him who wants to become a career woman, applying science in a profession.
Dimas' request reminded him a little of Patrick M's statement. Morley was spectacular, "I prefer not to be anyone, as long as it can be someone who means something to my children."
It was also said by Almarhumah Ainun's mother that even a large salary will not be able to replace closeness with children, which eventually makes the wife of the father **. Habibie chose to be a housewife to accompany her husband while living in Germany rather than pursue her profession as a pediatrician.
But right now, there are no signs of wanting to be two-bodied, not because of delay but it is not yet, every couple will be different. So still can dong he planned to work after graduation, he shook his own head.

The wall clock had already shown ten o'clock in the night, it had already evaporated many times. Thought for a while, brother Dimas still felt at home staring at the television following the news of the murder of a judge in Medan which was broadcast on one of the television stations.
"Sleep first, sister's next." Said the man while shuffling his head, and without being told he immediately went to the room.
However, just wanting to close her eyes, she heard her husband talking quite loudly on the phone.
"What problem?"
"Yes?"
"Members of Metro 1 are docked?"
"Against TKP immediately, sterilize the area!"
His heart was beating strong, two months of living with Dimas, making it like he was riding a rollercoaster, every day always anxious when he let go of work.
His anxiety was not without reason, seeing the news on television about the many terrors against the police, not to mention the risk of the husband's work so high, reminding him of the speech of his mother the other day, "So the wife of the state apparatus must be resilient."
His sleepiness suddenly evaporated out of nowhere, he sat on the side of the bed looking at Dimas' brother who was busy wearing a bulletproof vest, took his official gun and scabbard from the drawer, then took him. Just like Ji Cang Wook in K2, but this is not a movie, this is real, her husband will go again defying death.
"Will it work this late?" Flat talk.
Brother Dimas glanced at him." Go to sleep, you need to rest. There's a problem in the office, when it's over, brother will be back."
Brother Dimas checked and sheathed the weapon before approaching him and gently touching his shoulder.
"It's my job" said the gentleman. " I've never known a risk-free way of life. I don't even think I can live without him."
He tried to smile even though he was bitter, "I know you are an expert in your work."
Dimas' big brother's hand cupped his face. " Sister is always careful, and brother only takes calculated risks. Not at all rash. What makes you wretched in this line of work is carelessness."
He took a deep breath and tidied up the clothes his husband was wearing. "Don't get hurt let alone get killed." Said raspy.
"Sleep" said Brother Dimas as he lifted his face. Dimas' dark eyes looked turbulent. " Sister might be a long time."
"Is there a robbery?"
"No, the office was attacked by a group of unknown people."
And he was surprised to widen his eyes.
"Two members were seriously injured, but the other members of Metro 1 have docked to the location, yes already brother left first, sleep."
And he didn't really sleep after Dimas's departure, only his sofa bed with his face bent in dismay.

Time has shown at two in the morning, but the condition of the CTF has not been conducive, the police were badly damaged, several buildings were burned, patrol cars, prisoner cars and police service cars were destroyed. There are 17 suspects they have managed to secure.
And now, he is leading a joint operation chasing several more suspects east of Jakarta. Fifteen of their men tried to arrest the suspect. While the members of Metro 1 who joined also took part in the pursuit at different locations.
Right at noon, he and the team returned with seven hunted people who managed to be bent. They are the son of a motorcycle gang plus some thugs who are recidivists.
And at four o'clock in the afternoon he could go home, with a body that felt tired. Usually, he will fall asleep on the sofa if it is like this. Sonia immediately hugged him tightly when she arrived at the apartment.
" Want to take a shower or eat first?" Bargain the girl.
"No, sister sleeps for a while, don't bother." And it's always like that when you're tired.

He finally decided to wait for Dimas, the sofa bed, left slanted, right slanted unclear. But until one night, Brother Dimas never came home.
He tried calling by phone, but never picked up, no matter what time, he finally fell asleep, still on the sofa. Waking up because of the sound of the morning adhan reverberating. There was no sign of the husband. His heart grew anxious.
If he had the number of friends of Dimas' office, but he did not have, even Elan's number was not there. After breakfast, he ventured to turn on the television. All stations reported the same thing, namely the attack on Menteng Police.
Netraya looking for the figure of the husband in the middle of the news on television but nothing, only the father of Kapolsek accompanied by several policemen in uniform appear to give a statement, completely invisible figure of brother Dimas. She tried to call her husband's phone again, this time it was no longer active.
He cried, what was it like, really he could not if all his life had to be overshadowed by fears. And right after Ashar, the apartment door was knocked. The man stood on the doorstep with a very tired face, he could not help but embrace immediately.
"No, sister sleeps for a while, don't bother." The voice of Brother Dimas sounded sniffling, making his heart melt, one of the bad qualities of the man if he was tired, then he would be very tidy.
He left the man lying still on the sofa, with full clothes and weapons on his waist and attached shoes. He tried to take off the man's shoes, but the first loud voice from the husband he got after marriage, even after the man insisted on apologizing repeatedly.
Apparently he knew one secret of Brother Dimas, this man really did not want to be disturbed when he was tired of working. Do not think life after marriage will be as smooth as the highway, every day full of flowers, can even deviate a hundred and eighty degrees from what you imagine, because life after marriage is the real life.
To be continue...
Happy reading...
