Towards True Love 2

Jealous

I was shocked when suddenly the face in the photo I was looking at from my mobile phone gallery appeared in real sight. "Abi?" chirped when I found him standing at the door.

"Assalamualaikum, Unfortunately abi ...," she said with a sweet face.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, isn't Abi going home in two hours? It's only 10 o'clock, why did Abi get home? Did Abi miss class?" I suspect my husband is ditching his class.

"Don't Darling .. abi has taken all the classes today. It's just that the last two hours the lecturer was not present and also did not leave any tasks. In exchange, next week we have an exam. So abi can go home early" he said in detail.

"Oh .. like that. Then Abi can continue to sleep, there must still be sleepiness left because all night Abi burned satay, right?" I patted her cushion that was right next to me.

"Why did you tell Abi to sleep? If it's not wrong someone said he missed abi earlier." The insinuation made me recall my words on the phone.

"Emmmm .. actually umi …." Not even I finished my sentence, Rio hurriedly cut it off. "Actually it's not Umi who misses abi. But it was abi's whiz who urged Umi to say it. Isn't she?" So continued.

"Yes …." I justify. I also don't know who is missing him. Me .. or my baby.

"Assalamualaikum .. Champion." He greeted the fetus that this month was even three months old in my womb. "Bring headphones for you. So that when abi is not near you, you can listen to the recording of abi's voice. Just kick Umi's stomach as hard as you can .. Umi will definitely immediately understand and put these headphones on her stomach." Rio glanced at me who was looking at him fixedly.

"Is he the only one who gets a gift from Abi?" jealous me. "For umi .. doesn't exist?" my continue.

"Emmm .. It looks like abi has forgotten Umi. Sorry huh?" rio replied with a face full of regret. An upset suddenly enveloped my heart. My mood instantly plummeted and this face I bent deep. I don't want to see my husband's face again.

"Lho, you know, you know .. how sad, Umi was disappointed because he did not bring anything? Or is Umi jealous that abi only brought gifts for our child?" I would like to answer, "both, Abi …." It also comes with a full tone of emphasis.

But in fact I can't say a word. Anxiety, disappointment, and jealousy so strong it took hold of my heart that I would no longer say a word to answer it.

"I'm sorry abi, honey. Abi didn't bring anything for you. But, abi will take you for a walk." I looked up, looking deeply into my husband's eyes. Trying to find the lies for what I've heard. But I didn't find any lies there.

"Is Abi really going to take me out? Are we going for a walk?" ask me to make sure.

"Yes dear .. let's get ready. We're leaving now."

"really? Okay, umi will be ready quickly. Abi stay here and don't change your mind." I'm like a chick who's been locked up in a cage for months and gets a chance to explore the world.

My spirit has multiplied many times more than before. Not wanting to waste this opportunity, I changed clothes quickly. Grabbing the origin of the clothes hanging in the closet and no longer care about my makeup. I'll wear a veil when I get out. Although this face is pale unpolished makeup, people will not see it.

The jeans had wrapped a long dangling cloth that protected my entire body. Lastly I tied the rope of white sneakers that I chose to complete my walk today. I'm ready to go.

"Come .. we leave. Umi is ready," I said as I grabbed the totebag which I then hooked on the shoulder.

"Such fragrance ... when you haven't had a bath yet, Mi?" ledek Rio with a chuckle.

"Just be wild. No one will know umi hasn't had a bath yet. Only Umi, Abi, and Allah know.

"Alright .. let's go." Rio directly carried me. He still wasn't willing to let my foot down the stairs.

"We're going to the mall?" tanyaku who even though it was clear the car we were riding was parked in the mall parking area.

"Abi will take Umi somewhere." Rio removed the seat belt that was encircling me. He quickly got down and opened the door for me. Not only that, Rio also directly gripped tightly onto my palm.

"If Umi is tired. Don't shut up" he said before taking me inside the mall building.

The one I visited together with Rio right now was the biggest mall in the city we were living in. This mall never empty visitors every day. Because it does not only provide shopping facilities. But on the top floor of this building there is also a 5-star class hotel.

Of course in the hotel it also not only provides rooms that can be rented. But there also provides a small club as a gathering place for young people who like Dj music.

Just below it there is a space that is used as a cinema. Not only the cinema on this floor, the foodcourt that became a culinary mecca was also held side by side there.

This is where Rio meant, foodcourt. Other than because she knew I had a hobby of eating, Rio wanted me to reminisce about something about us in this place.

"Do you remember this place?" ask when our footing reaches the end of the escalator. Right now we were both standing at the entrance of the foodcourt.

"Of course I still remember," I replied feeling like I remembered an event that had happened before.

"What do you remember?" ask again.

"Lili caught us eating together here. I just wanted to persuade you to go back to him. But, Lili just misunderstood." That's the thing I remember most about this place.

"That's all you remember? Why do you remember such a bad thing?" reply Rio.

"Are there really good things that happened between us in this place?" I became curious. Memories between me and him that I've forgotten.

"There was. This place is a witness to our meeting. In the past, this is where we first met, met, and walked together. You forgot?" Rio immediately walked away from me and approached towards the cashier to fill up his foodcourt card balance.

"I haven't forgotten it. It's just that what I remember most is the incident," I said after catching up with him.

"I'm not sure you remember." Rio doubted my memory. But why do I feel like he's testing me?

Rio took my hand again and entered into the foodcourt area. "So, what do you remember when we first met in this place?" Right, Rio is indeed testing my memories. With a bit of digging into my memories for a moment, I was able to answer his question with ease.

"We left after ordering food. And both roads. You bought Lili a watch and bought me too. We also buy drinks and cakes. Right?" I asked him back.

"really. But if you consider that time I bought a watch for Lili. I bought that watch for my cousin's birthday present." I was staring at him. Isn't it really for Lili the watch she used to buy with me? Why is this heart suddenly warming? There was a sense of relief when I heard his words.

"I'm not lying. That clock was deliberately bought for my cousin who was on his 15th birthday." Rio seemed to understand the meaning of my gaze.

"There were things you didn't know back then and I knew them." What else escaped my knowledge? I can only stare at him for Rio to continue the conversation.

While our steps came to a halt at a table near a towering window. This place ... the table I used to sit with.
