Suddenly a Husband

Suddenly a Husband
Billed Home


[Ben, can go home tonight. Something important is happening at home. Only you can help you finish it, please go home. Mother wait. You will not sleep until you go home!] message from Mother.


I frowned. What problem, should I solve? Am I not just at home? Why did I suddenly become so important? But searching for answers through messages is futile. Moreover, mother is the type of person who rarely holds HP. If you send a message, it must be in an urgent condition.


Home, no. Home, no. Home, no? I was still weighing when someone patted me on the shoulder.


"Heh, searched everywhere instead of hanging out here. It's gonna be tonight, right?" asked Reni, a medical student who is now diligent in inviting me to social activities even though she often ignored me. The bloody Malay girl sat beside me. According to the judgment of friends, the girl likes me. That's why it's so attentive. While I was alone, I didn't think about the problem. Want to live everything as it is. "Ben, asked instead of living, was daydreaming. What's up?" he's staring.


I can't deny, she's beautiful, with yellow skin and a charming smile. Moreover, he is a very humble type, so being on Reni's side is very comfortable. But it just seems to be a friend. I don't know, he could get this heart. Suddenly I felt intrigued, this once upon a time I was, just a floating semester law student who had no achievements, but already thought as if I was a handsome and well-established donjuan who was valued by many women.


"My mother told me to go home" I said, sipping the last cigarette I had.


"Then? How come your mother told you to go home? Would you like to be accompanied, all I'm applying for." Reni laughed, adorable.


"Here, your true style is Ren. Want to live hard? I'm a freelance cafe waitress who can pass the selection as a prospective mother father-in-law who all his descendants from grandfather to the great-granddaughter of the doctor. In my brain I lost far. IP two commas where dare the same medical child who graduated cumlaude as Bachelor of Medicine. Now even more koas, pass take a specialist. Yes, far away Ren. Very far. Like the sky and the bottom of our earth where dare I so hump missed the moon.." I mocked. Everyone knows who Reni is. Seeds, seeds and weights are indeed as good as that. He was the only child of a married couple who became famous doctors. His father was a surgeon at a large South Jakarta number hospital. His mother is a famous obstetrician who already has a place of practice with visitors always booming. Not to mention grandparents, uncles, aunts, om, aunts to Reni's cousins. All doctors. If I join can-can roaming.


Reni did not reply, she only looked with a sad face.


"Why you?" now it was my turn to wonder at his face.


"What the hell are you Ben. It's not important to know!" Reni threw away her face, I could see there was cloudiness in both eyes.


"Yes yes. I know you don't. You're my best friend. Even very well. I'm the one who's lucky Ren knows you." I recall our first meeting as a freshman.


At that time, we were both late. Same in the law. His name is a senior in our campus who is severely sadistic if punished. They punish without seeing men or women. Everything is equal. I feel this is too hard to finally protest, do not have a woman treated as hard as that. As a result, I was told to bear the punishment of Reni and the other late children. No problem for me, I accepted it casually even though at last when the punishment ended along with the Maghrib, I fainted from exhaustion.


As soon as I realized, I saw Reni next to me. The beautiful girl looked worried. He repeatedly apologized and thanked me. His request was in my opinion quite excessive, as if I had already done a great thing that saved his life. Since then we have been friends.


Four years of college, Reni graduated as the best graduate. He asked me to be at his graduation. I made a move, but when I saw his extended family, I backed off in order. Fear, inferiority and all bad taste. I could only look from afar while stealing the picture. I secretly photographed Reni in her red kebaya through my parents.


Later that night, Reni followed me to the cafe where I worked. He was angry, saying I was a liar for not keeping promises. But as soon as I showed her the photos on camera, Reni cried. He hugged me.


"I don't think you're coming, Ben. I'm really disappointed. I'm sad, Ben. Besides why not nyamperin anyway, the others, who are present it does not mean more than you!" cetus Reni's.


"It is you, if I am really samperin I would be ashamed. Especially if your mommy sees. Dih, I could have been kicked out. Student's shabby like me where there's a place, Ren." I said.


"That's a bad prejudice you are." Reni scowling. "I'm serious, you're my best friend, where I might be ashamed, I'm proud. Want to take pictures of you too. But failed. Tomorrow you have to finish your college as soon as possible so I can be your graduation companion!" pinta Reni's.


"Hahahah, if that's like a long time, Ren."


"Why Ben? What is college for. You always hang out on campus every day. Whynot? What you have to lose, is old age continues to grow, tuition fees also continue!" said Reni.


"There's no reason to speed up college, Ren. If I graduate, what do I do?"


"You can find a better job."


Wh-wh-what for? Salary at the cafe is more than enough for my daily routine."


"Wouldn't you marry me?"


I'm silent. Be married? In the past, at the age of eighteen, the desire to get married was there. However, missing. When Abah said, I was just a bitch. It is not appropriate to be the head of the family. My wife and children may suffer under my leadership. Those words pierced my heart, leaving a deep wound that I was finally afraid to think of marriage.


Abah, the man who became my role model. The man who was supposed to strengthen me, who was able to judge how his flesh blood had already made a statement on how bad I was. Which man can make the children and wives he loves suffer. If there is, it's not me.
