"Okay, welcome back to my palace home, baby.." Akmal smiled, embracing Agnia's shoulder.
Agnia did not budge, circulating her gaze for a moment. Then Akmal looked dissatisfied. "I thought there would be a surprise or something" Agnia said as she elbowed her husband's arm.
"Hem?" Akmal chuckled, peeking at Agnia's wrathful forehead while tightening his embrace. "Do you want a surprise from me?"
"Not really.." Agnia sniffed her shoulders, acting indifferent. "Except. If you are intent, I am seneng.."
"That?" Akmal stopped his steps, holding Agnia's hand. Smiling obliquely then carrying his wife without warning, until Agnia had just floated without warning. "Kalo Ma'am wants a surprise.I'll love you."
Agnia gave a small smile, wrapped her hands around her husband's neck, afraid of falling. No protests or questions, let's see what surprise this husband will give.
"Okay.. get ready.Welcome to our new room." Akmal took pains to open the door of his room, smiling confidently if his surprise would be liked by Agnia. "I mean the old but new room, ours."
The arrangement of the bed, closet, table, nightstand, as well as the dressing table changed completely. Agnia focused on the change until she was unconsciously placed in bed. Blankets replaced, curtains replaced. Agnia turned her head around after being satisfied looking for anything that was replaced in her room. Staring at Akmal who was sitting on his knees before him, his face was lower than Agnia's.
"Where?" ask the man, asking for a compliment. Will be very satisfied if his intention is reciprocated by the expression impressed, or at least the happy highlight of the wife. Not a big thing, but the new atmosphere feels perfect for the relationship as well as the condition of Agnia after the miscarriage of their baby.
Agnia sighed, staring at the face waiting for Akmal. "Emh. good, but I think I prefer yesterday."
"Is that?"
Agnia smiled, grabbing both of Akmal's cheeks. Pinching the two cheeks was a little hard, too anxious. "Kidding. Your choice is best."
Akmal nodded, finally getting the compliment. "But it's not really my choice, it's a reshuffle of Mbak Nur."
"Yep?" Agnia looked shocked. "Are you familiar with Nur?" tanyanya was amazed, considering how at the beginning of the introduction to the figure of Mbak Nur who was flattered, her husband was amazed and a little afraid. But this time?
"Yes. Anyway Maak can not be alone from now on, there must be a friend. Someone help, huh? Don't refuse my request."
"Yes." Whoever refuses, he will only listen. At least today when he was still unable to freely move.
"Judek.." Akmal got up, stroking the top of Agnia's head that was still covered in a veil. "Bak now take a break, I'll take lunch first."
Agnia held Akmal's hand, not confirming or rejecting her husband's offer. The man turned his head with raised eyebrows, urung stepped away.
"No, I'm not a laper. Eat it with you."
Akmal sighed, nodding. Sitting next to Agnia, he could not leave his wife alone. Pulling Agnia's cheek facing towards him. "Certainly? Ma'am want me to do something?"
"Emh.. You're starting to get the thesis."
"Hem?" Akmal frowning. "Yes, why?"
Agnia gave a smile, looking at Akmal who was still raising her eyebrows in confusion.
...
This is the best thing that Agnia wants and likes Akmal. They go nowhere, stay in the room, stay in bed. Akmal did his job, fluttering comfortably with the laptop on his lap. Some books that are references are stacked on the nightstand, placed there so that it is easy to reach, while Agnia sleeps next to her while playing the buttons of the shirt she wears.
"Like that playin?" akmal asked, turning a moment from his laptop screen. Quite distracted by his wife's activities.
Agnia nodded, smiling. Lekas put his hand around Akmal's body. To shortly lose his consciousness, greeted by dreamland, Akmal smilingly realized it. Immediately justify the sleeping position of Agnia, kiss his wife briefly, then continue his activities.
As if starting a new beginning, some things like returning to the point where they become a newlywed couple. Nothing to look forward to. As before, they want to go through this by flowing.
"Where's this?" porotong Mbak Nur, before being given an explanation. As usual, it's gone bad.
"Again rest, sleep. That's why I'm taking care of it."
Ma'am Nur nodded quickly. "Yes, you relax. Let Ma'am take care, plus.. Masakin' good food for you, huh?"
Akmal nodded, looking thankfully at the middle-aged woman who never failed to make him gawk with his eccentric makeup. "Thank you, Ma'am."
"Yes, relax." replied Mbak Nur, already bellowed towards the room to look at Agnia.
Akmal sighed, yes, at least he could trust Mbak Nur, although with his unexpected attitude that still often makes ya surprised.
...
"Yes.."
"Eh! It just so happens that Mother is cooking for you." Retno turned her head, smiling in the midst of her busy cooking. Gets glimpses. "How's your wife doing?" tanyanya, which then makes Akmal terpenyuh. Remember how she stretched her mother before many people.
Retno frowned, cleaned her hands first, then joined her sitting around the table where Akmal just fell silent without answering her. "Akmal.mom asked, you know.."
"Hem? Oh.. Sister Agni? Okay Bun. More sleepy now, at home in bed."
"Good dong.." Retno reviewed the smile. "But..what's he saying?"
"Hem?"
"Mother means..Did she say her sadness? Or. some kind of complaint."
Akmal sighed, looking at the mother who was waiting for an answer from him. Not long ago shook his head while smiling convincingly. "Mr Agni is even stronger than me, Bun. I feel no need to worry at all, and Mother too. No need to worry."
"Yes.." Retno let out a sigh of relief. "Mother knows Agni is indeed not someone to worry about, she is wise and understands how to behave."
"Emh.. Nuns.."
"Hem?"
"I'm sorry about that day."
"On that day?" Retno knitted her brows, looking at Akmal seriously. Can't remember anything so this one and only son has to apologize.
Akmal grabbed the hand of the Mother, grasped the hand and stared softly. I don't know when was the last time she was this warm with her mother. "When in the hospital, in front of many people.I snapped mother." he said, admitting his mistake.
"Oh.." Retno smiled slightly, returning her child's hand with a soft caress at the top of her head. "No papa, honey.. Mother is not hurt about that, Mother understands. Mother is also aware of the mistakes of Mother."
"No, Mother, I was wrong, I shouldn't be. I should have understood that Mother was worried about my wife's condition, but I was.."
"No papa." cut Retno, pat Akmal on the shoulder. "With you trying to understand the intentions and feelings of Mother at that time, Mother is happy. Mother relieved. That's enough. Ma'am sorryin, take good care of your wife instead."
Akmal nodded, smilingly accepting Retno's warm gaze. His heart was already relieved as the burden he had made with his own mistake was now off his shoulders. And the biggest thanks to Agnia, his wife who even gave understanding first when she was blinded by worry.
"And.." Retno raised her index finger. "Quick give change, Mother wants a new grandchild. Hem?"
