To You 2 (Greatest Love)

99. Neglected

hmhukk.

"Why?" Yara rubbed Rival's chest.

"Mas was too strong to smoke cigarettes on the hill earlier" he said, squeezing his own chest.

Yara hit Rival's thighs tightly.

"Why do you smoke??" pissed Yara.

"Later ask. I'm tired of the deck" he lamented.

-------

Arriving at Yara's house bathing Arben in Rival's aid. Rival did not let Yara carry the fat Arben. The little man had not wanted to wake up even though Rival had been bothering him ever since.

"Mas, why hasn't he woken up yet?" anxious Yara.

"Not anything deck. Tired of him playing from the morning"

"But Ben hasn't eaten a mas"

"If you wake up soon, give him a meal. If he's hungry, he'll wake up quickly" replied Rival.

"Your son was hanging from a tree branch while eating honey from his nest"

"Haaahh.. seriously mas??" Yara did not believe her son's behavior.

"The time is a lie! I smoked a cigarette to keep the bee from stinging the sister" replied Rival.

"But Arben's hand was still in a sting!"

"That was before the mas came to her. The time of the lift is up this swollen" explained Rival.

"It's already!!" Yara had finished bathing Arben, Rival also lifted Arben's body out of the tub that no longer fit on his body.

"Oh Allah. forgive me.. Papa's arm sprains this Ben!!!!!" rival's grouse brought Arben into the room.

Rival put Arben to bed and put his diapers and clothes on.

"The son of a bachelor papa. You naughty, papa circumcise you later" Rival pinched Arben's stomach plan then deftly dressed Arben.

"Iihh. don't want to see circumcision. Same with me. I don't dare to look at it"

Rival laughter could not bear the look of fear on Yara's face.

"I don't dare that. It's good that you want to see it"

"Aahh. just don't want. I fear. Look what's been done"

"Your bad boy yes. That's why your stomach until so, it's the result of wanting to know what it is"

Yara glanced in annoyance at the laughing Rival.

"It's not because I want to know what it is, but because I can't wait to be"

"Hmm. start fishing. A year nahan kangen is the weight of the deck. Have you met your wife during winoin?" Rival plays his eyebrows cunningly teasing Yara.

"That means a naughty mas. Not me"

"You know how naughty it is? Want to show off again the results so that you fuss??" Rival hits Yara to fall asleep next to him. He was too excited to see Yara.

This morning Rival will wear his great striped uniform. Today his rank officially rose by one level. Rival's responsibilities will be even greater later.

-------

In his place David also prepares to rise in rank.

"Mother.. do you not mind following the father out of Kalimantan? dad will move to Java to join the father rank"

"Thank you Bun" David kissed Indira's sweet forehead. At the moment, what David is feeling is just anxiety. Seeing Indira walking around here and there preparing the uniform that David will wear.

"Bun.what does a big belly feel like? what pain?" asked David curiously.

"No, yeah"

"Do you not feel pain when you kick your stomach?" David kept asking.

"No dad, no taste. Only sometimes a little tired" replied Indira casually while hanging David's clothes on the wall of the room.

"Daddy love you?"

"Why ask me, Dad? Dad's just about it" Indira was astonished by David's attitude.

"Dad is afraid that the mother's treatment to the father is only limited to filial piety and obligation of the mother to the husband without being based on love"

"Daddy himself?? Do you really love Mom? Did you really love your mother and have forgotten your love for Yara?"

David was confused as to what to answer. His heart told Indira love. Why is his mouth so hard to speak. The shadow of Yara had disappeared from his memory, but could not be denied still imprinted in his heart. Indira smiled bitterly, but in her heart it hurt a lot.

"Mother wants father to sincerely love mother. Sorry if you don't know yourself. Mother expects more from father" Indira walks out of the room while holding her stomach.

My wife spoke like that. This is a really harsh reprimand for me. Maybe all this time my soul didn't fully assume he existed.

David stood up and walked up to Indira who was cleaning the kitchen and cooking food in the morning blind like this. David remembers the last time he touched Indira. He was stunned to realize that for two months he had not given Indira the right.

David grabbed Indira from behind. Confused what to say, many things made David feel very guilty.

"Mother cannot be compared to Mbak Yara. Who may be smart to serve the desires of the father, who knows the wishes of the father, patient and does not expect many things like mother" Indira held back her tears.

"Enough Bun" David confronts Indira in order to look at her.

"Never compare yourself to Yara. When it comes to bed, dad doesn't know how smart he is at serving his husband. All you know is that only you can meet all your needs. Do not ask questions that provoke your emotions. Remember our son Bun"

"Dad lied to khan? also, if you remember the child, why can't you forget Mbak Yara" actually Indira held back the tightness in the chest, he did not want David to see the weak side.

"For God's sake Dad doesn't lie. If you just play and touch just to reduce the taste, yes ever. Husband and wife look at each other, yes.dad admitted ever.but do not Bun. Don't ask me again what I did with Yara. It's the past, it won't accompany your heart now. I'm sorry.the wrong father made you like this"

David felt Indira's chest throbbing violently, her breathing holding back the cries. David rests Indira's head on his shoulder.

"Mother knows I still love Mbak Yara. Mother saw him in the harbor. Is it wrong that you love your father, Mother hangs your life together father"

"Yes Allah.. I'm sorry, bun. Dad can't be a good priest for you yet. I know you're very disappointed. Really Bun. Dad was not on purpose. I love you so much, Yara's just a part of the past"

Indira hugged David's waist tightly, crying so loud that David had never heard before. Tired and feeling very guilty seeing his wife so hurt because of neglect.

"Until when can you always hug your father without fear of the shadows of your past?"

"Forever Bun. Forever this body and heart can be embraced"

"Do you still have a chance to improve?" David could not bear to hear Indira's cries.

Indira turned to look at David's eyes. A small nod but still looks hesitant to answer David's question. David wiped away the tears that made his heart ache.

"Sorry mother is too hoping for more" mute Indira made her eyeballs bowed lethargic.

"All rights of mother. Daddy dear mom, really love mommy. How do you say that words are not enough to make you believe?"

Indira tiptoes kiss David's lips.

"Mother believes I already know how to treat a wife"

At that instant David felt his body like he was stung by a high voltage electricity.
