Eps. 53


I felt someone stroking my hair. Maybe it was just a dream. Or just my feelings. I refuse to open my eyes. But the caresses I kept feeling. Until I finally opened my eyes.


It was not a dream, but reality. Rohman was stroking my hair. And it turns out I fell asleep next to Mas Rohman.


Seeing me awake, Rohman smiled at me. I also returned a smile to Rohman. I noticed the wall clock, it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon. I slept long enough too.


"Mas, I'm sorry I fell asleep next to you."


"Yes, honey. It's nothing, really. I'm glad you slept in my arms. My friend is gone now, baby."


"You want to eat, Mom. Or what do you want, let me get you."


"Don't love, I'm going to the bathroom first."


"I'm helping you walk, Mas. Afraid you'll fall if you're not too strong to stand yet."


"You don't worry too much, baby. I don't know why, really. You take it easy, yeah."


"Yes, you take care of the way."


"Yes, baby."


Rohman walked very carefully to the bathroom. Then I rushed to the kitchen to make some food. Fortunately, there are still ingredients that can be cooked.


I immediately concocted the seasoning and cut the vegetables. This afternoon I will cook vegetable soup and fried tempeh. No buth a long time, approximately one hour later all the food has been served at the dining table. I cooked it pretty fast too. Because what I'm cooking is so simple.


I took Rohman to the dinner table. Then I poured rice and vegetables into the dish. I noticed that Mas Rohman's face looked very sumpringah. It looks like he's very happy.


"Sorry, Mas. This is all I can cook. Because the food in the refrigerator is this high. I haven't had time to shop."


"Not what, baby. It's been so delicious, as long as you cook."


"I'm so grateful, honey. Sorry, I've been troubling you."


"Yes, it's okay. As long as you're cured, I'll do me another thing."


"Yes, let's eat. Mumpung is still warm vegetables and rice."


"Yes, baby."


I started to put rice in my mouth. I noticed that Mr. Rohman ate very voraciously. I'm so happy. Whatever I cook, it must be that Mr. Rohman eats really well and enjoys it.


While enjoying the food, I remembered something. About an incoming call on Mas Rohman's phone. And I started to give it to him.


"Mas, I'm sorry I was sassy and picked up Panghilan on your phone."


"There was a call, baby. I'm not horrified, anyway."


"Yes not horrified, did Mas sleep pules. I want to wake up not brave. I just lifted it up."


"Oh, it's okay. Who the hell was that calling from."


"I don't know, Mom. Don't ask also don't see the name of the origin just lift."


"From girls, she asked why you didn't leave the office today."


"Trus what did you say?"


"Yes, I'll tell you you have a fever."


"Yes, thank you, baby."


"Yes, Mum."


"You, aren't jealous of me?"


"Jealous why, mas?"


"It's jealous that I get a call from another woman."


"Do what, jealousy. I don't care how you are outside. What matters is that you're home as usual, ma'am."


"Why ask like that, Mom?"


"Yes sad that you are acting ordinary. I thought you'd be jealous, apparently not."


"What if I'm jealous is why, Mom."


"If you are jealous, be it. It's a sign you love me and love me, baby."


"Ih, there's just one."


"Oh yeah, is Mas really doing this?"


"I'm okay, baby. It's been quiet, and it's all thanks to you. Thank you my beloved wife."


A friendly kiss landed on my cheek. I also smiled happily. I really didn't think I'd get a husband like Mas Rohman. Even though his past was like that, I am very grateful. I hope he's really sincere with me and won't go back to repeating his past.


"What's your shopping money still there, baby?"


"Still, really. Why, Mom?"


"Nothing, if less just say."


"I never felt less, Mom. More than enough."


"Oh yeah, you didn't go to Rendy's house to look at her mom, honey?"


"Where can I leave you, mas. You are sick yourself too. Yes, obviously I chose at home just nemenin you."


"You need me a lot more, Mom."


"Again thanks, dear to all."


"Yes yes, Mas. How many times have you said thanks. I'm doing it, Mom."


"You if you want to see Rendy's mom please, baby. I'm good, I can walk."


"No, Mas. It's noon, I'm lazy. It's really hot outside. Mending in the house with you."


"Yes, it's up to you. If you want to go there, just say no need to hesitate."


"Yes, I understand."


I started to get up from my seat and started to clean the dirty dishes. Then hurry to wash it. While Mas Rohman sat in the living room while playing his cell phone. I don't care about that, even though he might be sending someone oesan. I prefer not to know and not to know.


After washing the dishes, I sat in front of the tv to watch television. Binging is going to do it again. All the work is done, mending I watch the soap opera fish fly.


'My best friend's boyfriend turned out to be my husband.' The title of the soap opera I am watching right now. A very disturbing title. How unsettling, because it often happens in the real world. Many people take their husbands from their friends. And vice versa.


But hopefully that doesn't happen to me. If that happens to me, I choose to step back and focus on myself. If only, I hope it doesn't happen.


Not long after Mas Rohman followed me sitting in front of the tv. He grabbed my shoulder and kissed my cheek. Again a warm caress I felt.


"Mas, look at that, it's a good title."


Suddenly, Rohman looked gloomy. I don't know why either. Maybe I said it wrong. But there's nothing wrong. I just showed you the title of the movie. There is no other meaning.


"Mas, why did you arrive so moody?"


"Am I saying something wrong so you're like this?" It was clearly heard that Mr. Rohman was breathing rough denfa.


"Darling, have you not been able to forgive and forget my past?"


"Why are you talking like that?"


"Are you insinuating me with the title of that movie, baby?"


"Astagfirullah, Mommy. I didn't think I'd get there. I don't mean what you mean."


"I just want to show you the title of the movie is the same as you. But why are you like this, my dear."
