A Couple of Husband Wife Stories



After the pillow I received from Vano, I did not have the heart to move the head of the Arif mas, finally I let sleep on my lap until I woke up, I looked at his face, his appearance did not change from the old days, I stroked his hair slowly, I stroked his hair, my husband thanks you for all your good treatment of me all this time, my inner self


I saw the clock on the wall showing at four o'clock and thirty minutes, Arif still sleeps soundly in my lap, Vano is also still playing, knowing his father is sleeping he is not so noisy, it wasn't long before Arif opened his eyes and looked at me


"Rin... I slept on your lap from earlier?" tanyakene,


"Yes mas, I do not want to disturb your sleep, must be very tired mas Arif" I said, then mas Arif woke up from my lap


"Thank you dear" she then kissed my forehead and cheeks and walked towards her room, I approached Vano sitting on the carpet


"Vano likes puzzles like this?" my question is, Vano did not answer him just nodded his head, seemed fun to enjoy the game.


The door to Arif's room was open, and Arif came out of the bedroom and walked up to us, he looked so fresh from having a bath, sitting next to me I looked at him


"Why do you see me like that?" ask me Arif


"He he he, it's okay" I replied shyly


"Fell in love with me" he whispered seductively, I glanced at him


"Vano... let's go for a walk" I said to divert my conversation with mas Arif, "dad...want to go for a walk?" ask Vano to his father


"Come.." replied Arif.


"Rin... do you often come home late in the afternoon or evening?" ask me Arif


"Yes, when is the day when nine is coming home" I said


"Mother is indeed the time to rest and entrust others to take care of her psychological bureau" said mas Arif worried


"Yes, yesterday was also the story of Rinda" I said


"Let's go for a walk now, just bring my bike, the car is carried by my mother" I explained.


Then we went out of the house, I closed the door and the gate, mas Arif and Vano were waiting for me on the side of the road in front of the fence, the bike was turned on mas Arif, I sat behind him while Vano stood in front of the Arif mas, the motorcycle leaving the housing


"Where are you going?" ask me Arif


"So you said you haven't eaten yet, you bought some goldfish" I replied


Shortly after the bike stopped at the restaurant that I used to come there while still dating, after the bike stopped in the parking lot, we walked into the restaurant, the restaurant, sitting down while enjoying the breeze and sunset, a tinge of yellowish red adds to the romantic atmosphere this afternoon.


The waiter came to give us the order book, we chose the menu we will eat later, after the menu we chose I wrote in the order book, he said, mas Arif called the servant by waving his hand and told the servant to approach him


"This boy is!" I said while propping the order book, waiting a long time, until the Maghrib adhan roared in the surrounding mushola


"Mas, don't you pray maghrib?" I said remind you of Arif


"Yes Rin, you wait here first" said mas Arif then stood up and would walk away from me


"Dad.. I follow" said Vano then follow the steps mas Arif, mas Arif holding a small hand Vano towards the restaurant mosque.


Mas Arif was still in the musholla, shortly after our order came, "thank you mbak" I said to the waiter after finishing putting our order on the table, I waited for Arif and Vano to finish the maghrib prayer.


Seen mas Arif and Vano walking towards me, Vano running ahead of mas Arif, finally arrived at the seat of Lesehan


"Mother... Vano wants the shrimp flour" he whispered


"If you want to take Vano" I said, then Vano took the flour shrimp without skin and ate it slowly


"Anak Vano?" my question is, he nodded


"Let's eat Rin" take Arif with you when you arrive


"Yes mas" I said, and then I got some rice for Arif, we enjoyed this togetherness


While eating I saw a pregnant woman who came to be with her husband, I was silent down if my son still survives in the womb maybe at this time I am happier with my husband, glazed with my eyes, glazed over, and I rubbed it with tissue


"Rin... why? no appetite?" ask me Arif


"Oh no mas, after this we go home huh?" doorstep


"Vano... After this go home huh? mother seems to want to rest" said mas Arif


After finishing eating, Mas Arif headed to the cashier to pay for the food we ate and the food we brought home, after which we walked hand in hand to the motorcycle


"Rin... Does anything make you worry? tell me later, will you?" whispered to Arif


It seemed like he knew how I felt, I kept quiet, after arriving at the bike park I paid for parking and we rode our bikes out of the restaurant straight home.


Arriving at home, I went straight to the dining table to put the food ordered by Mas Arif earlier, it looks like mother has come because there is a car in the garage


"Rin. You just rest, it seems your heart is not good, I will meet the mother above" said mas Arif.


Then Arif went upstairs, Vano as usual playing and I went into the room changing clothes and laying down my body on the bed, my mind still remembered the pregnant woman, my tears flowed back, how hard it was to be sincere, O God, my heart.


Mas Arif went into the room, I hugged the bolster facing the wall


"Rin. tell me" said Mas Arif slowly sitting behind my back and holding my arm, I turned my body to face Mas Arif.


"Vano is sleeping?" much


"Having slept on the carpet in front of the television, I will move to the room" replied mas Arif


"Rin.." said Mas Arif slowly as he wiped my tears.


"Look, tell me everything, I'm your husband, I can't see you like this, moody, daydreaming" said Mas Arif then lay down his body beside me and hugged me gently, stroking my hair


"Mas... turns out sincere is hard huh?" much


"Why? you still can't accept the passing of our son?" asked Mas Arif, I nodded slowly and went into his arms, sobbing again


"Rin.. If you continue like this, you will be difficult, you must be really sincere Rin" comforted my husband.


"Mas, every time I see a baby, every time I see a pregnant mother, every time I see cute baby gear, I go back to grieving, back to remembering." I told her.


"Rin.. can't you just stay at home? can't you forbid a pregnant person, a baby boy or a baby-supply seller to stay away from you?" asked Arif, I nodded


"So you have to be sincere baby, I'm also sincere, I never blame you, I always love you Rin, even if later you don't have children for me, you are still my wife, I never blame you, remain one woman in my life that is you" said mas Arif comforting me, making me calm


"Aren't you asking Vera? when can I get in touch?" ask me Arif


"I'm ashamed to ask like that to Vera, yesterday when I was in control said the doctor three more months may be" I said slowly


"Why?" ask me Arif


"The doctor said it was feared there would be another pregnancy and miscarriage" I explained


"Rin. I fasted again" said mas Arif with his sad face.


"Yes, why? want to find another woman?" say


"What the hell is Rin" said mas Arif


"Yes, you know, your wife can not carry out her obligations continue with other women, your money is also a lot" I said in an irritated tone


"Atm I you just take it, if you think I want to buy" said mas Arif slowly without emotional tone


"Rin... What matters is that you'll take it out?" whispers flirting


"No way" I said annoyed


"Loh.. Consider it your duty, come on" persuaded mas Arif.


"No way mas, I sleep in the front room just like Vano, the door wants me to block with a table and so on" I said


Then I got up from my sleep, but my body was pulled and hugged by Arif


"Don't sleep in the front room, just here with me, two months I don't hug you" said mas Arif


"Vano mas, please carry it here" I asked


"Vano was used to sleeping alone in the front room, yes let him sleep there" said mas Arif firmly


"Whatever you are, I want to sleep" I said then pulled the blanket, mas Arif out of the room, a few minutes later back to the room hugging me from behind, I had started to sleep and sleep.
