Instantly Vita silenced. There is a discrepancy in his heart because usually, the ideal time needed to be able to complete education at level S2 is 4 semesters or equivalent to two years. That is if Yudha is able to continue for two years. If more—means they'll split that long?
But forbidding him to gain knowledge, it also feels impossible.
Some know that before Yudha married, she had indeed continued her S2 in the middle eastern country. But for one reason or another, he had to stop in the middle. And now, if he's going to continue his S2 here—of course he has to start all over again.
“When?” ask Vita a few moments later. But his eyes were already teary because it was too far to imagine what if he was left here with his children.
Living the days without a husband is a terrible shadow for any wife who has never experienced it. Different from the experienced ones.
“After he was born.” Yudha pointed to his wife's stomach.
“Is this not missing an important moment of our child's growth, Mas?” this time, Vita's cries instantly broke. Unstoppable. Yudha said he was just planning. Not a unanimous decision.
“Kok cry? This is just a plan... Mamoy. Anyway I also won't force myself to leave without getting ridha from his wife.” Yudha opened the packaging of the food she had just bought to divert the wife's mind. “We eat first, yuk. Later cold hunt.”
Vita shook her head, the woman could not even make a sound. Her chest feels tight.
For a moment Yudha regretted having spoken so. The woman was crying for a long time. Until Alif came to this place thirty minutes later.
“Assalamualaikum!” exclaim Dara directly entered into the entire room. Even until the bathroom he was cheering. “Wuih, great. Uh, this mehong. Thanks for the free, Mom. Frequently, yes!”
“Same exactly the words of my wife earlier,” Yudha's words mark the habits of both of them.
“Shameful,” grumbled Alif saw the behavior of his wife, “like prisoners who came out of the cell.” But strangely enough, the man did the same.
“Eh, I forgot my brother gave me all this freebies. It is true, the treasure can darken hehee's eyes Dara approached Vita who turned out to be grim-faced for reasons she did not know. “Lah, this is why Vita became like this, Mas? You any him?” the question sounds demanding.
“It's also food lying on the table until it's cold.” Dara suddenly closed the food on the table, “sorry, I'm afraid of khilaf. My son is still inside, but often makes his mother dipping.”
Yudha sat down next to his wife again. Even with Alif who did the same thing, next to Dara.
“So I told him, I want to continue my S2 in Bandung. He was sad, when the new plan,” Yudha told the cause so that they did not get misunderstood.
“Pregnant sensitive people, yes. Like an PMS person,” said Alif while poking around his wife's waist so that the woman immediately gave him a warning.
“Hand, please conditioned.”
Alif again commented, “If you want to study in Bandung, you six ‘kan can stay there. Why should we split up? Husband wife is free,” Alif paused for a moment, “how long anyway, it was there? At least two years. You also do not have to worry about Umi with Abah. They're our parents too, surely we'll notice.”
“If you do not have time to visit here, let us go there. Anywhere that can,” Dara.
“This is a new plan, if suppose you disagree—I can undo.” Yudha said to his wife who was bowing.
“Sorry .. I'm overdoing it. I thought you wanted to leave us all,” said Vita slowly. “To be frank I haven't and can't.”
Yudha took a deep breath before she again spoke to all of them regarding her worries, “It seems that our one effort is not too we can expect anymore.—
Suddenly everything went silent.
“In the future, the company must stop operating for a moment to stop overspending and avoid bankruptcy. We will continue later after the pandemic subsides. That too with some consideration. This was the advice of some of my friends during our meeting. And they are willing to help boost the name that has dimmed.
“That's what made me think about continuing the S2 that used to be stuck around. Because if it is true that our company is bankrupt, I will not be too confused because I can become a teacher, or others with the education I have,” he continued with a head that began to dizzy. “I have four children that I have to guarantee his future. It is true that each child has been given his own provision. But we also need to worry and that is natural. Because the question is, where does it come from if not through my efforts first?”
Alif agreed. Sometimes this speech is often misunderstood by some people who want to have many children. There is no way that sustenance will just fall from the sky.
Vita fell silent after listening to her husband's talk. There is a feeling of regret because it had a very short sense. Oh ... So this is the reason?
“Sorry ..” said Vita once again with a clean slit. She looked at her husband waiting for an answer.
“We'll talk about it again later with the family. There must always be a way out.”
“Well, adem. Isn't that right, Da?” dara asked while hugging Alif because he did not want to miss being friendly like the couple in front of him.
“So right you guys live my kids are doing what?” ask Vita who this time has begun to return.
Dara replied, “Again sleep everything. There was, several times asking the mother. But I'm telling you, they're coming home with toys, that's it, Ta. So if you come home with toys, yes.”
“We are made into a collision again, Mas.”
“Nothing, later we buy them toys.”
They both had lunch there. Before finally being driven away by the two new rulers. I want to have fun there soon, he said. Basic couple do not know in profit!

Rahma went straight to her house that afternoon. And to rest her body—ia takes a moment to be in the room, of course with her baby who is currently moving agilely on the bed.
“Sleep Yes Ade ... Mama sleepy. Want to bobo for a while before Mama pick up your Papa at Grandma's house.” Repeatedly Rahma covered her mouth which kept gaping to resist drowsiness. Before he finally fell asleep along with his sons. It was only the afternoon later that she picked her husband home, despite having to get a scolding from her in-laws because Rahma had come too long.
“Sorry, Mom...” that's all Rahma can say because she can't answer with another word. Wonderful, even though Rio his own son. But somehow like ogah-ogahan while taking care of him. Though while healthy, Rio was always kind enough to share a little of his recovery with the two of them. Is a bad economy always a cause when people start to change?
“What do you work for, indeed?” her mother-in-law asked, finally curious.
“So secretary,” Rahma was forced to lie.
“Be careful, loh. Secretary usually—”
“Bu!” between his father-in-law even though it still can not stop.
“Mom only talks about facts that happen often. Two people need each other. Everywhere often both are not uncommon, both of them so like each other because they are used to it. Then it was a scandal.”
“Astaghfirullah ... Ma'am. Istighfar. Rahma has a husband and two children. There can't be such Rahma.”
“I'm not accusing, just telling a normal story. Did I mention Rahma that way? No right, Rahma?”
Rahma did not answer because her heart was sad again.
Father-in-law gave him advice, “You must be smart to take care of yourself, Rahma. Because your husband can't take care of you right now. Surely the temptations out there are always stronger—more, your husband is sick now. He is your ordeal, the trials of us all. The real exam is for a while. All of this will pass if we are able to be patient. I'll help you through the trouble. I promise to help take care of him, if necessary I will stay at your house from tomorrow.”
“Iya, Well...thank you.” this time no more tears dripping. Because it was already dry. But he was a little happy because he had just heard a fresh breeze.
“Daddy what the fuck, anyway. Tega left his own wife.” Mother-in-law grumbled. “Usaha our plants later how? Who takes care of?”
“Mother alone takes care of. Son is more important than plants,” firmly father-in-law makes his wife instantly speechless.
On the way, Rio clasped his hand and said slowly, “Usaha what else can I do so that I can recover, Rahma? Show it. I want to be healthy.pity you and my children.”
“I don't know, Sis.. Try asking other friends. Good time they ever had the same case,” replied Rahma staring focused forward.
“I thought your life would be better without me..” Rio said again making Rahma immediately step on the brakes of her car suddenly and turn her head quickly. Lucky they wear seatbelt so their heads do not hit the dashboard.
“What do you mean, Brother?” asked Rahma stared hard.
“I just don't want to keep making you suffer... How about we just split up?” Rio bowed deeply, “let Mother take care of me.”
“Are you crazy?”
