Wife Titipan
Chapter 21
These few days Bayu deliberately avoids Najma. Bayu does not want his feelings to become more if he continues to be near the woman, besides that he is also still awkward if dealing with Najma after the incident the other day. In the morning Bayu was about to leave for work before Najma woke up from his sleep. He also no longer accompanied the woman to sleep in her room. Bayu is afraid of becoming evil again.
Of course it made Najma confused, he felt there was no problem between them, but why Bayu avoided it. Today Najma deliberately woke up very early in the morning so that he could greet Bayu. And what he did bore fruit. Bayu is now cooking cow's eggs for his morning breakfast.
“Let me help Bayu,” said Najma. Bayu glanced at the woman.
“No need, later your hand will get hot oil,” Bayu said. Najma let out a long sigh, seeing Bayu again showing his indifference.
“You why the hell? Lately it's been like keeping away from me.”
“That's just your feeling.” Bayu berkilah, even though the fact is like that. Adjacent to Najma is not good for her, what else for her heart health that would be crazy if Najma was nearby, for example like now. The heart beats twice as fast as usual.
“You're afraid I'm angry about what happened back then huh? I told you to forget it.” But I can't just forget it, Inner Bayu.
“Oh yes. Today I am three months old. I noticed my stomach also began to show a change,” said Najma, a bright smile on her beautiful lips.
Bayu's blood rippled for a while, “we have never checked your content to the doctor,” Najma nodded confirming Bayu's words.
“I want to see the shape,” said Bayu, there is still a sense of insecurity in Bayu if soon he will become a father. If her marriage to Najma was normal, Bayu would definitely feel happy more than this.

For the first time Najma and Bayu went to the hospital to check the womb. Najma chooses her best friend Jihan as the Doctor who will examine her womb. Jihan is an obstetrician.
Bayu with sparkling eyes stared at the black and white monitor screen, revealing a creature no larger than a fist, the little creature was the baby candidate.
"It's so small." Comment Bayu. There was a strange feeling that made his chest feel warm to the point of flowing all over his nerves.
As for Najma himself, he was so moved when he saw his future son that without feeling happy tears dripped down his cheeks. After so many years, she finally felt the experience of conceiving.
"Ciee.
Najma snorted, "it used to be that when you were first pregnant, you were jumping around like a child so excited. Don't make fun of me" said Najma ketus. Jihan only chuckles, she is happy because her best friend will soon become a mother like her.
Mobile phone nailed Bayu pants vibrate, he sighed irritatedly the caller just annoying. "I'm out for a second pick up the phone." Najma said Bayu.
Jihan cleared her throat, after Bayu had really come out of her practice room. Jihan began to launch an action to gossip. "Eh, by the way your brondong is okay too. I like to look at her sweet face, fresh appearance, just to wash my eyes." Najma looked at her best friend with a horrified look. Jihan is like aunty girang who plays with brondong.
"Fresh. You think he's a fish in the market!" Jihan chuckled, looking at Najma who looked upset.
"Are you sure you're leaving Bayu? darling loh. If I were you mending me with that brondong rather than back with Pram. The boy is getting old. After that he is barren can not love you child, jealous and many more lack of the man. Blaa...blaa....." Najma lets Jihan chatter at length, although Jihan often vilifies Pram there is not a single word of her best friend that she hears, Najma considers it only as the wind.
"Are you done talking? I'm here to check the contents not to gossip with you." Najma reminded me of her main purpose in coming here to Jihan.
"I'm not gossiping, I'm telling the facts. Why the hell do you love to die with your ugly prince who is no good at all. Your eyes and brain must be washed to return to functioning sanely" said Jihan sarcas. But Najma was not offended at all, he was well memorized by the nature of his best friend who likes to be outspoken when commenting on people.
"Before you tell me to do that. You better do it yourself first. Why can you love to die to the widower of five children who are now your husband, even the man is more suitable to be your father than your husband," said Najma did not want to lose.
Najma wondered why his best friend preferred to marry a widower of five children to be his life companion, even though Jihan's boyfriend was cool and certainly the same age as well. From his marriage to Azam the man's name, Jihan already had two biological children.
"Mas Azam is not like Pram, he's the husband and father in charge. Not like your husband is willing to be ruled by a witch. During my marriage with Mas Azam I was happy even though I was afraid that he suddenly died suddenly because of his old age," said Jihan, but his real age is not very old Azam.
*****
Perhaps being far apart and not knowing the news of Pram for Najma is common, because when he was still together he was often left without knowing the news of the man.
Najma feels less yearned for Pram, which is why Najma feels her days are so much more pleasant when she parted with him. He now becomes easy to laugh even just because watching a cartoon movie is not at all funny. Najma felt as if she had no burden, yes of course. Because Endah the magic grandmother of her mother Pram, does not disturb her life anymore.
Unlike for Najma who thinks everything is normal, for Pram his separation and Najma without knowing the news of the woman is so tormented. The longing was so suffocating to her. During their marriage he often left Najma, but he always got news of her from the people he worked with.
The burden of his life became even heavier as the woman disappeared from him. The pressure from his mother frustrated him. His mother forced him to marry the woman he was going to make his second wife. The young woman named Adila fell in love with him.
Even when he found out that Najma disappeared without any news. Adila aggressively approached Pram. He did love Pram when he first looked at the man, even though he knew Pram was married. Adila first meets Pram at a charity event, a successful handsome male Pram makes a lured into the charm that the man has.
When he found out that his mother was good friends with Pram's mother. Adila forces her mother to match her to Pram. Adila became a second wife at a very young age.
His desire almost succeeded, if only the fact that Pram barren was not uncovered. Although knowing Pram Adila's shortcomings still do not care, he wants to have the man. But unfortunately Pram was so in love with Najma that even glanced at him was not interested
The temptation he had been doing had no effect. Lately Pram is good with him because of Endah's request. Pram wants him to take a walk and pay for all his groceries, but that's not what he wants. Adila wanted the man's heart.
*****
Bayu is now in turmoil, his parents ask him to go home immediately because his plantation business has advanced. Bayu also already has a decent savings, enough for him to immediately marry his lover. If only the path of fate had not made him bound to Najma. Bayu plans to marry his girlfriend this year.
“Bayu said earlier to teach me to cook. How come you dream?”
“Today you want to be taught what to cook?” ask Bayu, ignoring Najma's words just now.
“Omelet only, it looks easy,” said Najma. Bayu grunted annoyedly.
“Ya cooking is very easy. You alone are too spoiled cooking simple things like that do not know. All this time your time is spent on what.” Najma thinks Bayu insinuated, all this time spent on what? work, shopping, beauty care, being a good wife by always obeying the Pram prohibition so as never to do household chores, including cooking.
“What matters is that I know how to find Bayu money. If you have money, we can buy food,” said Najma.
“Then now for what bother want to learn to cook?” sayu sarkas.
“Because... soon I will be a mother. I think from now on I should be able to cook!” najma said ketus, even though he could not cook, but now he has shown evidence that he wants to learn to cook. This wood is like not appreciating his intentions that want to change for the better.

Bayu wants to enjoy his friendship with Najma who only briefly, tonight Bayu invites Najma out for a walk. The bored Najma is confined to the house, accepting Bayu's invitation enthusiastically.
“Serius Bayu we use motor. What if it falls? I'm pregnant now.”
“I won't speed. You can handle me if you are afraid of falling,” said Bayu, he felt that Najma's worries were too excessive. But for Najma, who was pregnant for the first time and had been waiting for her pregnancy for a long time, her worries are now normal.
“So go no? If not, we're home.”
“Be. I'm bored at home.” Inevitably Najma gave up, he sat in the backseat.
“Handle,” said Bayu with a commanding tone, when originally he was nervous to piggyback Najma. The smell of Najma's body pierced her sense of smell, the scent of the woman's body made her drunk.
Other than what Bayu felt, others were felt by Najma. Now Najma remembers his past, when he and Pram were still dating they often ride motorcycles if they want to go. At that time Pram will ride his motorcycle with speed, so that Najma is afraid and will embrace him.
“I miss you Mas,” Inner Najma, after so many months he just thought about Pram. How's that unstable man doing now?
“You want to see the cinema?” Najma frowned at hearing Bayu's question, invited to watch movies by brondong like Bayu, Najma so feel rich people dating.
“As far as you are I follow,” said Najma. The most important thing is that Bayu took her out of the house.
After arriving at the destination. Bayu clasped Najma's hand to follow him, wanted to hold the woman's friendly Bayu still a bit awkward. However older Najma was, perhaps those who saw them would assume that they were both Brother and Sister. Not a husband and wife.
“I want to watch a horror movie Bayu,” said Najma, women his age will not be able to feel it if watching the movie Romance. What else Najma has felt like what a real love story feels like. Love stories in the real world are not as beautiful as love stories in romantic movies.
Because the purpose of the streets was to please Najma. Bayu obeyed the woman's wishes. They make horror films as their spectacle, enjoying the storyline that the film presents until the ending. Although Najma had a few times screamed in fear, seeing the scene where the ghost likes to appear suddenly.
Bayu instead of paying attention to the film that was aired, he focused on paying attention to the beautiful face of Najma. Bayu's logic and feelings are at war, his feelings say that he should try to have Najma, while his logic shouts that he should not be mired more deeply in his feelings with Najma because it is a mistake.
After the film ends they come out of the cinema in a mall, both Bayu and Najma are confused after what else they want. On the other hand Najma still does not want to go home.
“Lucan...!” Bayu followed Najma's gaze, guessing what attracted the woman.
“You want?” Najma nodded, her eyes looking expectantly. If he had his own money then Najma would immediately buy it, dear as long as he was exiled he did not have a handle on money.
“Take. Which color do you like?” tanya Bayu, pointing at some cat dolls of different colors.
Najma picked up one of the pink stuffed cats, “ I like this one,”. Bayu immediately paid the doll to the cashier.
“We go home to Bayu. I don't want to walk anymore.” Bayu saw Najma stroking his stomach, he guessed it was possible that the cat doll wanted their baby.
If Najma is not pregnant, Bayu is sure where the woman might ask for a doll. As a socialite woman, Najma certainly prefers expensive clothes, bags, shoes, and other branded items.
“Thank you for today Bayu. I love the show streets and for this cat doll is very adorable,” said Najma after they were back at home.
“Thank God if you like, I'm so happy.” Najma smiled widely in response to Bayu's words just now. Without the cue Najma tiptoed kissed Bayu's cheek which immediately stiffened in place.
“Shit. What's wrong with me?” batin Bayu's. The young man reflexively shook his head, trying to refute the conclusion that had now been made by his own feelings.
