Towards True Love 2

Snuggle

Both of my hands were busy reaching for the paper bag that was full of my loot last afternoon in the mall. Yeah, I memorized my husband so mercilessly that his wallet was empty leaping as we returned home.

While I was busy unpacking the contents of the paper bag, Rio's head was actually writhing on my thigh. He was even comfortable even though repeatedly his face had to be covered in cloth clothes that were alternating.

"If you can .. often Abi took Umi for a walk like that." I fished for the chat first.

"You hear that, son? Umi could very well drain the abi money today," he complained while stroking my stomach.

"Abi's money will not be in vain if it is to please the wife" I replied aloud.

"Indeed right. But it would be better if Umi does not drain it until the toilet is not left with a piece of stuff." He tried to advise me who really likes to flutter when shopping.

"O husband, do not complain because it is your duty to meet my needs" I do not want to lose.

"OK-okay .. abi understand ustadzah …." Finally he gave up on this little debate as well.

"Nak .. if born as a woman later, don't be like Umi." I stopped my activities and cut out the sentence that he had clearly not finished saying. "Why can't he be like Umi? He's an umi kid," I trimmed in a sewot tone.

"The noodle was naughty. Girls become racers. It was also wild racing on public streets. No-no .. You must be like the graceful and gentle-hearted Lilies. Don't copy umi." I can't give you this face. I was upset to hear it. Why should he glorify the other woman before me? And why should Lili - her ex-lover whom she mentioned as an example for my son later.

It was true that Lili was a graceful girl even with a noble heart. But, wouldn't it be annoying to hear a husband say his ex's name let alone praise him to the sound of my ears?

A very black cloud of cloudiness accompanied by flashing lightning was the image of my face at this moment. Maybe if I look in the mirror, two red horns are already growing on my head. Ready to butcher anyone who breaks my heart into pieces.

"Umi .. Why is it silent?" Rio looked up to check on my face which I still bent.

"Just keep praising Lili. I am indeed not comparable to him who is graceful and soft-hearted. I'm nothing." I said it with the blood already boiling.

"I am God, .. I have made a mistake. Hey ... look at abi's face." Rio grabbed my face gently.

"Umi ...," he called out with his voice that always managed to shake my soul. "Sorry Honey ...," he continued.

"Umi .. abi just jokingly said it. There's no intention in Abi's heart to hurt you." I can feel his honesty.

"Stay, umi doesn't like to hear abi say that. Umi who is pregnant with Abi's child, why she should be like everyone else. Umi is his mother, Umi is more entitled to lower a resemblance. Although umi is not as good as other women." I don't know, I'm so sad to say it. I don't know because of the feeling of disappointment that has stuck in my heart. Or because I feel like I'm losing my right to be the mother of my baby-to-be.

"Umi, don't say anything more. Hear .. abi really has no intention of comparing you to anyone, including Lili. For abi, you are the most perfect woman to complement all the shortcomings of abi. Forgive abi's fallacy, dear .. don't punish abi so angrily. Abi please …."

"Ppromise .. never praise any woman in front of me again. Especially comparing me like before. I really don't like it. Not even any woman would like to be compared." Rio pulled my gaze for our eye beads to meet.

And after our gaze met, "Abi promised not to repeat it again even if it was just a joke." Rio dropped a warm kiss on my forehead. That kiss became a damper to the resentment he created in my heart.

"There's one thing abi missed and hasn't told you yet" he said after removing his kiss.

"What?" He pulled my finger. A ring studded with pink gemstones coiled around snugly right there.

"This ring is not just any ordinary ring. The ring I used to propose to you, was my mother's wedding ring. Father gave it to me when our match was decided. Is it not enough of a mother's love embedded in this ring as proof that I did not ask for you at that time?"

"Trust me. No word that comes out of my mouth is a lie." I hugged him with regret.

"I believe you, Bi …."

My mood is improving again, Rio's back in position. Drown his head on my lap. While I'm no longer busy checking groceries. I turned to stroking my husband's hair.

"About ... will he look like who, Mi? Abi or Umi's face?" he asked after a long time just smelling my stomach that has not been protruding.

"umi-like. Umi gave birth to her, "I answered confidently.

"Abi plays a role here. Obviously abi planted the seeds," elak Rio was unwilling to budge.

"Remain, he grew up in the womb of the umi. He'll definitely be more like umi." I am overwhelmed by my stance.

"Don't ya, son. It's like abi. Your abi is a handsome face you know .. you will not regret if it looks like abi."

"Don't provoke him to stand in the abi stronghold. She'll be pretty like umi, period." I just pressed my tone.

"Our daughter is a girl?" ask Rio.

"Umi hope so" I replied as I imagined the cute face of a little girl of my dreams.

"If she had been born a woman, Abi would have given her the name .. Maryam. What about Umi?" Rio asked for my opinion.

"Umi agrees. Mariam …." I repeated.

Rio got up and put out the lights. The light in the room became darker than before.

He made me sit in his lap. I peck my lips over and over again. Until I get tired and bite his lips. "Sick Sweetheart ..," he lamented as I was bitten with the hard of his red lips blushing like wearing a liptint.

I could only chuckle to see him rub his lower lip. "Bloody, Mi …." He's still complaining. His lips were not hurt.

Seeing him rub his lips like that actually made my adrenaline stirred. I was tempted to imagine the pleasure I had from her. Precisely when his lips were stuck and blindly in my sensitive area. Making opium for me.

By forcing me back to sip my husband's lips. This time with more force and aggression. Not wanting to stop just sipping it, I even dared to******* its tongue out.

"Why stop?" ask her when I take that kiss off her lips.

"Something is moving. Under the Umi," I said without realizing what had been provoked by my passion.
