First Wife's Last Tears

First Wife's Last Tears
Personal driver


This morning before leaving for work, Lisna gave some money to her husband.


"Mas, it's money to hold the mas." Said Lisna who just finished dividing for the needs and uses of money for the next month.


Usually Lisna split for him last night, but last night they had a romantic dinner and then continued with the honeymoon, so Lisna didn't have time. So only this morning she shared the money for rent, water, electricity, kitchen shopping, round-trip costs and for her husband.


"Save it, Lis. You don't have to give me any more money from now on!" Fauzi from the bathroom. She had just finished her bath and was still drying her hair.


"Why is that, my mom? Did I make a mistake I didn't realize.."


"No. You never make any mistakes. It's just that I've got another job starting today."


Fauzi's out of the bathroom. Lisna immediately welcomed her by extending the clothes her husband would wear.


"Seriously got another job?" Deuteronomy.


"Yes, honey. From now on you don't have to worry about finances."


"Alhamdulillah.but what work, mas?"


"Personal driver of a wealthy CEO."


Lisna nodded in understanding, Now she helps her husband comb his hair.


"But I just started working today. So ahead of payday, just use this money."


"Mmm no need. I'm given money every day five hundred thousand, for car gasoline and cigarette money and motor gasoline."


"Oo that's it, man."


"Yes. So you don't have to worry about me anymore, Lis."


Lisna sighed deeply. Should I ask how much is Fauzi's monthly salary? Ah no need, afraid later mas Fauzi even offended. Her thought.


"O yes, it seems like I will also often be late to go home, maybe not even go home. Because you have to take the boss here and there at any time, including when he asks to be escorted out of town even."


"Busy is it."


Lisna's heart felt uneasy hearing her husband's words about his duties as a private driver.


"Yes, Lis. His name is also a private driver."


"But I love this job?"


"Well that's it Lis. I really like this job. In addition to getting a salary, I can also go around the liling by car when driving the boss over here."


Lisna took another breath. It feels like the heart is too busy saying strange things that make it difficult to be more patient.


"Thank God I love this job."


Fauzi smile. She was dressed and ready to go to work.


"You're not leaving yet?"


"A little while, ma'am."


"Yes, then I go first, yes." Approaching Lisna, then kissing her forehead.


"Mas want me to pack lunch?"


"No need, honey. Lunch until dinner is borne by the boss."


Fauzi was out of the room, Lisna tailed behind him. She took her husband to the door.


Why does my heart feel something is strange. I should be happy because Fauzi got the job he likes. So, at least I can save my money.


"I'll go first, baby. You will be heartened to go to his office!" Excited Fauzi who had driven his motorbike out of their rented yard.


Lisna also waved her hand to accompany her husband's departure, even though her heart felt very strange and unbecoming. It felt like she was going to lose her husband.


"Astaghfirullah, what am I thinking. I should have prayed that Fauzi would be safe and successful with his new job."

"Yes, breakfast is yok." Invite Wulan to take Fauzi into his house.


"What did I do to get into your house?"


"Why is that why?"


"Fear that you'll be picked on by the neighbors."


"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. In the complex here free. A lot of people gather kebo." Her chattering.


Despite his heavy heart, Fauzi still entered Wulan's house. Inside the house were two maids who prepared breakfast at the dinner table. While one other maid was seen picking up Wulan's little daughter who was ready to wear her school uniform.


"For my beautiful mother's son."


Wulan approached Queen, her five-year-old daughter, and now began attending Kindergarten.


"For mama. Who is that, ma?" Show the Queen towards Fauzi who was standing looking at the little girl.


"Oh that's about Fauzi, the new father-to-be Queen."


Wulan takes Queen closer to Fauzi.


"Hello to Fauzi." Sapa Queen when it's close to Fauzi.


"Hi, pretty. What's your name?" Fauzi crouched down to be level with the Queen.


"I'm Queen, um. Mama om Fauzi said my new papa candidate, may I not call papa from now on." The little girl asked with a sweet smile.


Fauzi who really likes children feels Queen adorable. Her cute face reminded Fauzi of her niece Mika. Ah yes, Mika and Queen turned out to be the same age.


"Of course you can be beautiful. You can call papa." Fauzi replied while pinching the spoiled Queen's nose.


"Yey horeeee…"


Queen jumps a little jump while turning her happy crib.


"Ma, may papa take me to school today. My friend's friend was ushered in with their father, and they kept mocking me for never being delivered by papa." Sad whining.


"certainly beautiful. Later papa will take this beautiful Queen to school." Fauzi represents Wulan.


"Horee, papa promise ya." The Queen reached out her little finger and was immediately greeted by Fauzi.


"Promise."


They frowned their little fingers while smiling happily.


"Have, already.we have breakfast first, after that go to school." Wulan.


They went to the dinner table and ate breakfast for a while. After breakfast, they left.


Fauzi focused on driving, while Queen sang along with Wulan. They sat in the front seat beside Fauzi.


It was like this to have a child. Always crowded, something makes a smile. If only Lisna could get pregnant soon, it would be nice to have an adorable little princess like Queen.


Fauzi smiled in response to Queen's rant that told her many things about her schoolmate's friend. Queen occasionally invited Fauzi and chatted with her.


Fauzi seems to like Queen. It took even just a few minutes for Queen to get along with Fauzi. Thank God, finally my little daughter can open up to have papa again, after feeling abandoned by her biological father.


"Pope can't sing my balloon.."


"No. What is the singing like?"


Fauzi deliberately lied to lure Queen to sing my balloon song.


"Because I don't know…"


"Yes, papa forgot.mm how did she sing.."


"My balloon was five. forgot the wall.."


Queen sings cheerfully, hearing her rudimentary lettering makes Fauzi and Wulan hold their laughter. Because if they laugh, the Queen can snatch. Finally they sang along with Queen while laughing happily.
