Towards True Love 2

Soap Balloons

It was late in the afternoon, before my husband and in-laws came home I washed my body to look fresh. Not to forget I wear perfume also put a thin preen to welcome my husband home from college.

Not finished khimar used, the sound of Rio car horn sounded. I hurriedly tidied up my hijab and shirt and went down to greet her.

"Assalamualaikum," he said immediately reached out his palm when he found me standing up to welcome his return on the terrace.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," I replied as I grabbed his palm and landed a kiss there.

"You want to take a shower?" my many.

"Yes, I think I need a shower to lose my fatigue" he replied as he walked in.

I nodded and followed her steps towards the room. I prepared warm water for her to take a shower. Don't forget I got her towel and gave it to her.

While waiting for my husband to take a shower, I prepared a change of clothes, drinks and snacks for him.

Rio nampaki was so tired, his face was lethargic. But when I came out of the bathroom, I saw that his face was refreshed.

"Aren't you bored at home?" ask her while sipping warm tea.

"No," I answered without looking at her because I was busy tidying up the books on the bed that had been with me all day.

Rio approached me and grabbed one of the books I had yet to tidy up.

"This is an old book, you reread?" He picked up one of the titles of the book I had read over and over again.

"I wanted to reread it" I said, not wanting to prolong the conversation with him.

"Sure, all those books you've read. Can I buy you a new book?" bargain me. He knows what my favorite is. Right now, only books have managed to entertain and fill the void of my time.

"May, if not troublesome." I even asked her something. The real man never minded even though I always troubled him.

"Are we going to the gramedia? Let yourself choose which book you want to read. After all, this month you are at home constantly. Taking care of me, my father, and my house must be tired and boring. We're out tonight, yeah, all weekly nights." I'm really lucky to have such an understanding husband like Rio. But why do I not know thank you and always ignore his attention.

Tonight I obey his invitation. The reason we came out was to look for a book. But in fact, it's not just that. Rio took me shopping for clothes and bought a lot of snacks.

According to him, snacks are perfect to accompany me to read books. So he bought me a lot of snacks that I like.

I cannot refuse my husband's wishes. Though love for her has not grown in my heart. But I still didn't want to disappoint her by rejecting her good intentions to me a lot.

Whatever Rio did and made her smile happily, I will try to accept it.

Before returning home, Rio invited me to stop by the town square. Rio rented a mat for us to sit there. The hustle and bustle of the night crowd was clearly plastered there.

The little ones run around here and there enjoying their happiness. There are also those who are fishing in rubber ponds. Of course, the fish are fished because the angler is also a small child.

Rio once in a while chuckled at the cute behavior of those boys. Funny when they play. I just want to join them.

"You're not sleepy, are you?" askinya.

"Not yet."

"I'm still at home here. Look at them, I'm at home" he continued, carving a charming smile.

"Yes." Yeah."

Not only Rio, but I feel the same way. Seeing small children play like entertainment to refresh the fatigue.

Unsatisfied with just seeing them play, Rio decided to join one of the hordes of children who were making soap balloons.

Rio excitedly blew the hole that was previously dipped in soapy water. Only once inflatable, Rio was able to make a lot of soap balloons fly.

The children were jumping for joy, even some of them were running around chasing balloons flying in the air.

"At Om, again ...," the little ones swore boisterously at Rio.

Rio took a glance at me and I gave a nod as permission so that he could play longer with the little ones.

At 10pm we were back home. Along the way Rio's face looked bright. Her sweet smile was spread without breaking.

After cleaning the body, Rio even took the time to open his phone again to see the results of his shots with the little children who played in the square with him earlier.

"You're here, honey. Look at their faces, funny and really shiny, yes," he said while showing a photo that I was the photographer.

"Yes, they're funny," I replied flatly.

"God willing, if Allah wills. I want to have a lot of children, let's rame," he said unconsciously.

Rio instantly closed his mouth as he realized his wife did not like this one topic. Given, Indy is not ready to meet her inner needs as a couple.

"Sorry, Honey. I don't mean …." Not until Rio finished his sentence did I cut it off.

"Yes, not papa. I see, because you're still getting carried away in the square."

After that, I went to the side and went to bed. I picked up the title of the new book I had bought. Rather than having to talk a lot with my husband, I prefer to read books until sleepy.

...***...

It turned out that books couldn't get rid of my boredom every day in that big house. Many other activities that I do can not cover my heart that has begun not to stay at home.

The plan this afternoon I will express my wish to Rio. A wish I had long ago. Until I found the courage and steadiness to tell my husband.

I really hope Rio gave a good response and allowed me to do this. Even if I don't get his permission, I won't force my will.

I remember clearly the message of the mother, that whatever the decision of a wife, if the husband does not give her consent then it should not force her. For it is the nature of a wife to obey her husband.

Rio came home a little late this afternoon. In fact, his father who used to go home after him now actually came home earlier than him.

Heavy rain flushed the earth Satria afternoon until evening. I ran back inside the house after seeing my husband come up with a soaked body to pick up a towel.

Rio sat on the bench that was on the terrace to take off his shoes as well as his wet socks. Upon returning I brought a towel that I immediately cupped in his body.

"Thank you, dear" he said with a soft voice and a charming smile.

"Watch some warm water, please" I said as I followed her towards the room.

"It's not really cold if ...," Rio cut off deliberately to make me curious.

"If?" In fact, I do not understand the intent of his words that he deliberately cut.

"Helped wife." Rio ran up the stairs quickly to avoid the appearance of a dislike face that I had not been able to show him.

From the stairs that have not finished I climbed. I saw that charming smile again at the end of the room door. Rio threw that smile at me who was upset because of the candlestick.

I waited for him long enough to sit on the bed and swing my legs to waste time.

I lowered my eyes as Rio came out of the toilet without covering his smooth, square chest with a piece of cloth. I seem to have forgotten to prepare the inner t-shirt I used to prepare before my husband took a shower so that he would not come out bare-chested in front of me as he is today.

"Why?" he asked when he found my face which I hid inside.

"No. Quickly put on his shirt, I want to talk" I said without looking at him.

Rio stood right beside me and started wearing the clothes I prepared. I could see several times he threw his smile at me from the reflection of the ceramics.

He must be very happy to see me who was misbehaving because he accidentally saw the chest of his field. In addition to being very charming, the advantage of my other husband is that he likes to tease his wife to the wrong behavior.

"Already," he reported when his body was completely covered with cloth.

I raised my face. And began to prepare my heart to express that intention.

"I want to ask for help" I hesitated.

"Seek what, honey? Don't half-do it by the way. Your husband isn't a master of the arts." He still mocked me even though I was trying to invite him to have a serious chat.

"Please send my resignation letter to the college. I'm quitting college."

"I didn't hear wrong? You want to quit college? Why?" I guessed it before. Rio will definitely come after me with a lot of questions. Fortunately, I have prepared the answer.

"There's something else I'd rather do than have to go to college."

"What thing?" ask again.

"Business." I answered him with complete confidence. Even now I dare to look at the bead of my husband's eyes that rarely meet each other.

"Business? You certain? Have you thought about it carefully?" scabbed again.

"Yes. I'm sure."

"I don't mind anyway. Whatever you want to do, I will support you 100%. But about business, you better ask for consideration with father. Your father and I know better about it. At least, let's not take a wrong step and have a little stock." That's Rio. His ignorant nature could disappear instantly and change into the wise Rio.

If God doesn't give it wrong as my soul mate. Then why, can't I lose loving her?

Breakfast became the spearhead of my intention to plunge into the business world. I intend to tell my father-in-law.

With a little nervousness, I spoke slowly expressing a desire that every day lingered in my mind. Explaining by trying to stay calm and not use ego, I hope my father-in-law understands my intentions and goals.

"Why are you nervous? Are you afraid you'll reject your wishes?" said my father-in-law.

"Indy's afraid, you won't agree."

"You're wrong. I'm glad to hear it. As a parent, you will support whatever your child wants. Moreover, your intent and purpose are very good. When is the plan to start?"

"Indy's still making plans. Not sure when it will be realized. But God willing, from tomorrow Indy will find a location to establish it," I explained steadily.

"good. Tell me if you need help. Do not hesitate, even if the father is only your father-in-law. But I don't just think of you as a son-in-law. You've been considered like your own father's son."

"Thank you, sir."
