Why is My Husband Different?

Why is My Husband Different?
1. Teak After Engagement



Salwa Farhadiba is a 27-year-old girl. Salwa daily runs a small snack shop at home. Salwa's mother and father were coffee farmers. Salwa is the second of three children, she has an older sister who is married and has a younger brother who is still in 6th grade Elementary School.


Salwa is engaged to a man. His fiancee Irwan Affandi, a 28-year-old man, was only one year apart from Salwa. Irwan is a man from an ordinary family, he had worked as a security at a private bank abroad, but because of the 19 covid pandemic he was forced to return home. He currently works in a rubber garden. His mother sells vegetables every day in the market, while his father has long divorced his mother, since he was still sitting in Junior High, then the father has married again.


Salwa and Irwan know each other because Salwa's friend who also happens to be Irwan's acquaintance to match them. Unexpectedly only know each other for one month but Irwan immediately proposed to Salwa, even though they only met once, and knew each other and communicated only through mobile phones. Salwa felt very happy because she was asked by a man at the right time. When he almost gave up to marry at the age of 27 years, even just before he was proposed Irwan he always failed to go to a more serious level. Though some men have been introduced to him, but somehow there are always things that stand in the way. When Salwa already feels suitable but the man arrives away, or vice versa when the man already feels fit, even Salwa who away. Until some people say that Salwa is used by his ex because it may have been hurt against Salwa, so Salwa is used to not be able to marry. And somehow Salwa also be implicated with the remark.Perhaps because it was as desperate as Salwa to get a mate, Salwa, he was really pursued by age and also people around him who urged him to get married. moreover, living in a village with an old age is certainly a gossip of people around and on the stamp of the old virgin.


Not to mention his friends and relatives and neighbors who also always urge him to get married. So as soon as Irwan proposed to Salwa, Salwa immediately accepted him. How the snow does not melt just because it relates to a man of course seriousness is the most expected thing. Especially after the failure many times that experienced Salwa. Salwa felt Irwan was very gentleman because he immediately came home to bring his family to propose to him. Salwa did not think at all how in the future, marriage is not a small thing, want to marry Irwan means must be ready to be a companion forever. While Irwan is a foreign man he has just known, Salwa does not know Irwan's daily life and what his character and nature are like. Moreover, Salwa and Irwan house is quite far away, must travel about 2 hours. So Salwa could not ask her close relatives or neighbors about the nature and daily life of Irwan, not to mention Salwa did not know what kind of Irwan family. Salwa had only met once with the Irwan family, so she also did not know what the nature and character of her family was like. But Salwa always thinks positively.


Salwa even felt a little match with Irwan because they felt the same fate, the age was very mature and indeed what else would be achieved in their relationship if not marriage. In addition, they used to be the same as overseas children pitting fate in the capital. Yes, Salwa also had a long time before returning home because of the 19th covid pandemic. And after marriage they plan to live independently both overseas. Irwan plans to work again as security while Salwa who likes entrepreneurship intends to open small businesses abroad. So that's why Salwa did not hesitate to accept Irwan's proposal because it felt suitable and had a plan after marrying Irwan. Even Irwan since the first time invited Salwa to meet Salwa was immediately interested in the way irwan approached. If usually men who have approached him only through chat in an application, but not with Irwan. The man called her straight away. And speak plainly as is. Even Irwan told me that he had worked as a gallon interloper, had sold fried foods, had sold coffee and drinks around, worked in a factory, and even worked in a restaurant. So Salwa thinks that Irwan is hardworking, willing to work anything from halal and not jaim even though he has to sell fried foods. Salwa felt that it was enough to be a dream husband criteria, no need to grandiose rich or highly educated, because Salwa had not looked at men in terms of material things. In addition, Salwa always introspective that he was just a high school graduate and came from an ordinary family, so why look for a man who is super everything like in the world of novels.


However, reality is not as beautiful as expectations. A few days after getting engaged Salwa felt a lot of strange to Irwan. Before the fiancee Irwan often pay attention to Salwa, even if it is just a reminder to eat, or ask daily activities Salwa. Sometimes they tell each other about their past, or just talk bad. But after officially getting engaged why even Irwan changed. He rarely sends messages, even calls can be counted with fingers. Though Salwa is very hopeful after getting engaged they can be more free to know each other, there are also many things that Salwa wants to discuss with Irwan about wedding preparations, of course the reception, of course,file files to take care of marriage licenses and others. But Irwan turned rather cold and indifferent. Even Salwa just wanted to meet was not able to, because Irwan was reluctant to meet him under the pretext of not having a vehicle to meet Salwa.


Hello, what year is it, is there really no public transportation so today? especially now that young people who have income like Irwan certainly have at least a motorcycle. Or if you don't have a motorcycle you can't ride a bus? but Irwan said a headache if you want to ride the bus or other types of cars. Oh my God what kind of reason is that??? Salwa really didn't think. Though usually a guy directly the spirit of 45 if you want to meet the idol. Even without being asked he would come to see her. Especially if their position is already engaged.but, Why is Irwan different? what a difficult puzzle to understand.
