Who You Choose, My Husband

26. Who You Choose My Husband

Arsy held back a laugh when he saw Jo's face flushed red after he told the rest of his siomay put on the next table. In fact, Jo misunderstood. Actually, Arsy really wanted to spend the siomay, but because wearing a mask makes it difficult for Arsy to eat it.

"Hey.. Why do you keep eating?" Arsy asked frantically when Jo just devoured siomay to the toilet.

"It's over" Jo replied without looking at Arsy. Maybe the man was embarrassed.

After eating Siomay, Arsy and Jo return to walk to the house of Revelation's father. Arsy brought a pack of siomay to give to his father. 

"There are still many treaties Jo," said Arsy as they approached the house of Revelation's father.

Jo just nodded. "I have to go. May your content be healthy and your household be fine."

Arsy nodded without commenting. Although the reality has been ruined since Laila was present among them. "Thank you."

"Take care of yourself."

Arsy nodded again and saw Jo get into the car that had been waiting. Then Arsy opened the fence of the house, saw there is a car Haris there.

Arsy's gecko came into the house. "Assalamualaikum," said Arsy as he approached and grabbed Haris' hand. In kiss the back of her husband's hand as a devotee of her who is still a wife.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Haris and the father of Revelation almost simultaneously.

"Mas been a long time?" Ask Arsy while throwing his weight next to Haris. 

"Yet. Bring some fruits for you" replied Haris, handing him a bag of plastic with a variety of fruits. 

"Thank you, mas." Arsy received and opened the plastic bag to see the contents. 

"Daddy to the room first. Tell your husband not to come home late and do not stay overnight," said the father of Revelation ketus then moved from his seat. However, he still refuses to forgive Haris and the people who deliberately hurt Arsy.

Arsy heard the words of the father of Revelation became grimacing. He looked at Haris with guilt. "I'm sorry, yeah."

Haris forced a smile. "Mas understands what my father feels. It's all wrong, mas" he said with regret.

A small nod is visible from Arsy's head. "Oh yes, mas. I bought Siomay, did you want it? Let me grab a plate," said Arsy, so as not to talk about the problems between the two. If it continues to be discussed, then Arsy's decision remains the same. Parting after giving birth.

Haris nodded. Although he felt that Arsy was still attentive, he still felt that Arsy's gaze was always evasive when he was also looking at his wife. But, he is already determined to get Arsy's love back. 

"Suapin mas, dong."

Arsy nodded with a smile. He was sure that Haris wanted to recall the habits before Laila was present among them. However, the memory and habits actually make Arsy hurt. Because, even though Haris was kind and romantic with her, never once did she confess that love to him. 

It is true, the phrase love does not guarantee the feeling is honest or not. But, as a woman. Moreover, a wife would want to hear the words of love from the husband even if only once.

"Thank you. You still accept, mas."

Arsy just smiled. She was also silent the first time Haris touched her stomach after she became pregnant. If everyone can be more patient waiting for the presence of the fetus in the womb Arsy, maybe happiness continues to come in many years. But, everything is different. 

Arsy's heart is already in its most tired stage.

"Mother" Laila's great-grandson when she first set foot in Jannah's mother's yard. 

Seen Jannah's mother just out of the house with two bags of clothes big enough. 

Jannah's mother looked at Laila and Sandra's mother alternately and then took a deep breath. Approaching the mother and child, she handed over a key and a house letter on behalf of her late husband.

"This is the house of your late father, Laila. The task of the mother is comfortable and it is time for the mother to leave," said Jannah's mother was very stoic.

"I-mom.. Maafin Laila," said Laila regretfully.

"I'm sorry, mbak Jannah. I'm sorry."

Jannah's mother nodded with a smile. "Please see yourself well. Make the lessons that have passed. Assalamualaikum," said he then immediately left the area of the house.

"So he's the son of that man?"
