41_Waiting for Husband to Return

...Happy reading...

...************...

The atmosphere of the night becomes dim when the moonlight illuminates nature. The sparkling stars were scattered to accompany the lonely moon. Like Aisha's heart now, the woman's feelings were like living alone. Having a husband like Bayu, makes Aisyah unable to feel how to be a wife who is spoiled by her husband, as Aisyah dreamed so far.

On the motorbike from the online motorcycle he was riding, Aisyah was all alone. His eyes were blank looking far ahead. Imagine how the future of their home will be.

"When, yes, Mas Bayu's attitude will both continue to be the same as me? All this time his attitude has changed. Sometimes good, sometimes nyebelin, "inner Aisyah along with her puff of breath that was thrown violently into the air.

Aisyah who is too focused on her sadness. Without realizing it, Septian followed him.

Septian occasionally looked at Aisyah who looked moody in between her busy riding a motorcycle. The married man felt sorry to see the sadness printed on Aisyah's face.

"Why don't I always have the heart when I see that grim face of yours, Aish? A gentle woman like you should not be treated harshly by your husband." Septian monologue. The motor continues to follow the online motorcycle driver who brought Aisyah to his house. Until the woman arrived safely at the gate of her in-laws' house, Septian had just left Aisyah.

...*************...

This morning Aisyah's face looks more fragile than usual, because the woman can spend a lot of time with her beloved child. On weekends like this, Aisyah is off to work. He wanted to use his time to always be with Zahra.

"Eh, your daughter is beautiful. Let's wait for Dad to come home, yuk!" Aisyah invited Zahra to chat, even though the little boy only responded with a small laugh without understanding what Aisyah said.

Aisyah took Zahra in her arms to the front porch. Her face looks beautiful with a thin makeup polish to pick her husband home from night shift work. He sat in the guest chair in front of Ambar's house, while giving ASI that he had milked before in a bottle.

"Kok, you're not home yet, honey? It's eight o'clock by." Again Aisyah asked her son to speak. Of course his son did not say anything. Only the baby can hear. Several times he looked at the time marker that was coiled on his wrist. Usually Bayu has reached home half an hour ago.

Aisyah's heart started to fret. She was afraid something bad might happen to her husband.

"What are you doing, Aish?" Ambar who came out of the house with a broom asked, when he saw his daughter-in-law standing in front of the terrace of his house while holding Zahra. Aisyah's gaze continued to look towards the road that became Ambar's attention.

Aisyah turned her head towards Ambar who was behind her. His face looked tense with a worried look implied there. "Aish is waiting for Mas Bayu, Mom. How, at this hour he's not home yet, is he?" said.

"What time is it?" Ambar asked back. He doesn't wear a watch like Aisyah, and is too busy with homework. The old woman did not pay much attention to the clock.

"Eight hours past ten minutes, ma'am. Mas Bayu was out of work at seven, should have been half an hour already home, but until now he had not come home too," replied Aisyah a little panicked.

"Maybe overtime" said Ambar.

Aisha thought for a moment. It may be true, but why didn't her husband give her the news? In his heart Aisha wondered. Though already half an hour ago he sent a message via WhatsApp to Bayu, but never get a reply from the man. Aisyah did not dare to make a phone call, for fear that Bayu was riding a motorcycle.

"Maybe it is, Mom." Aisyah immediately dismissed all prejudice against her husband. Better to think as his in-laws say.

Until 11:00 WIB, Bayu has not returned home. Don't go home, just tell nothing. That made Aisyah even more nervous. Especially when Bayu's phone can not even be contacted by the woman.

Until the sound of a motorbike engine parked in the yard, Aisyah immediately ran to the outside. She was sure her husband was coming.

"Mas, where have you been?"

Aisyah immediately poked Bayu with questions, as they passed each other on the front porch.

"Mas just got home from work" Bayu replied with a lethargic face. The drowsiness that attacked him opened his eyes looking livid.

"Why did you come home at this hour? Mas overtime?" asked Aisyah again while trailing Bayu who stepped towards the room.

"No, I was abis nganterin Indar to hospital. Poor him, when sick no one can take treatment. The family is far away."

The deg!

Bayu's speech made Aisyah's body freeze. Her steps came to a halt before reaching the bedroom door, her gaze suddenly blurred as she looked at the back of her husband who was away and disappeared behind the bedroom door. Aisha woke up a few seconds later. The tightness in his chest was eager to explode into anger. She was already so worried about her husband's condition that she was late to come home without news, but it turns out that the feared even casually said that he had come to a woman.

Aisyah immediately stepped her feet to catch up with Bayu. His breathing was increasingly stirring to withstand the anger that peaked until the crown.

"That's really got no feelings, huh? Same with Aish!"

"Why are you, anyway? What the hell is that? Come directly talk ngawur." Bayu who was changing clothes was amazed by the words of his wife. Suddenly entered and said so.

"Yes, that. Aish from earlier was worried about Mas, because Mas came home late, then HP also could not be contacted. Aish thought Mas was okay, but it turns out Mas even met the woman. That's great, anyway!"

"HP mas lowbat, so die before I tell you. Why did you visit Indar? She's a friend of mine" Bayu replied without any guilt at all.

"But that's not fair, Mom. During this time Mas always nagged that Aish asked to pick her up from work. The reason is sleepy, lah, must be independent, lah. But why when Indar needs help, Mas immediately came to help him diligently." Aisyah vanishing all her strands.

"He's sick, Aish. Time told to be independent? I'd do the same thing if you were sick."

"But Aish is your wife, Mas. Would you like to share Aish with another woman?"

That reason was unacceptable to Aisyah. The one who asked for help was just an ordinary friend, a woman. Even the woman clearly seemed to like her husband. Aisha's heart grew sicker when she heard Bayu defending the woman.
