David and Aretha were in the car. They went home first, before the show was over.
Lucky the streets look empty. There are only a few vehicles that pass by, maybe because the time is getting late, so that the more lonely look.
Aretha seemed to lean her body on the back of the car seat. His gaze focused out the window, staring at some street food vendors who were quite enlivening the city in the evening.
The woman felt very tired, although it was not actually the heavy work she had done before. However, in fact just standing and walking in the hotel ballroom made him feel sore on his feet.
Both Aretha and David, they seemed to focus on their respective activities, nothing they discussed at that time.
David is still focused on the wheel. However, he occasionally glanced at his wife.
"Darling, is there anything you want to buy?" david asked in the middle of his activity.
Aretha who was focused on her activities slightly gasped when she heard the husband who began to invite her to speak.
"Hn?" Aretha turned her focus towards the husband. "No, Mas." He seemed to shake his head slowly.
"Related?" David seemed sure.
Yes, David knows exactly what his wife is like. After pregnancy, the woman always wants a lot of things that are not usual. Therefore David deliberately offered him something mumpung still on the road, he thought.
"Related, Mommy" replied Aretha.
"All right," said David.
They are back to focusing on their own activities. Sometimes Aretha opened her voice to talk about things that are not important to discuss. After about forty-five minutes, David and Aretha finally arrived at their residence.
Quickly, Yudhi opened the gate of the house wide, giving way for his master's car to go inside. Instantly he bent his body, as a sign of respect to the master, before finally the car that David drove in.
David honks his car, then enters his yard. The man immediately got off, then opened the car door for his wife.
"Be careful, dear," said David.
"I'm not a child, Mas" Aretha said feeling uncomfortable because David treated her like a child.
"But you always act like a child and don't listen to me" David grumbled. However, Aretha only responded with a smile.
David immediately locked the car door, then took the wife into the house. Upon arrival in the room, Aretha immediately landed her body on the bed.
"Darling, are you tired?" david asked as he opened the tuxedo which was still attached to his body.
"My feet are sore, Mas," replied Aretha slightly twitching her legs. How not sore, he wears high heels while pregnant like that.
David seemed to notice him for a while, then approached the wife. Instantly he opened the high heels with a height of only about seven centimeters, which had not been opened Aretha, then raised Aretha's feet on the bed, making him throw there.
"Let's rest for a while, I'll take a shower first" David said.
"Yes, Mas" briefed Aretha.
David intends to immediately move from the presence of the wife. However, just as he was walking a few steps, Aretha suddenly stopped her steps.
"Mas," called Aretha, so David turned his back.
"Yes, why?" david looked down at the wife's face.
Aretha was silent for a moment, as if she was hesitant about what she wanted to say. "It looks like I want a sweet martabak of chocolate cheese, deh," he said, telling David that he immediately raised his eyebrows, then looked at his face as if he was upset. But the man tried to hide it.
The natural thing is not, when David was upset with the wife, after he offered his wife to buy something, but the wife refused, and instead wanted to buy it, after arriving home? Maybe all husbands will feel the same way, when they are in the same position as David.
I wanted David to complain at that moment. However, he reiterated his intention, when remembering the pregnant wife. It can be his business, if the wife feels upset just because she hears various complaints from him. I can be sure what the woman will say.
Yes, of course, he will certainly hear the speech of Aretha who stated that he did not love, do not care, and various other accusations that could threaten him, so that again he must succumb, so that again he must succumb, and it is like the law of nature that men must always give in to a woman. Didn't we?
In order to avoid the bad possibility that would happen, David chose to take a short sigh, then published the sweetest smile in front of his wife. He seemed to approach Aretha again, although he had stepped foot into the bathroom.
"I'm going to buy it, you wait here for a while" David said, stroking his wife's cheek. "Martabak's in front of that, right?" tanyanya.
"No" replied Aretha briefly.
"Then?" ask David to make sure.
"In that crowded hawker place, Mas," whined Aretha.
Instantly David was silent for a moment and again made more upset.
Yes, God .. It's a long way from here.
There was nothing David could do but obey his wife's will. Although it really upset him, but he still tried to calm down and did not want to show his frustration in front of the wife.
"Well," said David there was no other choice but to agree.
It feels free also if he tried to offer martabak in a place closer to his home, if the wife wants him in another place. It won't work he persuaded her.
"Thank you, Mom" said Aretha.
"All right, I'll go first."
David soon left his room, without waiting for command again from his wife, although he was very upset to have to return to a place not far from the hotel where the wedding reception Rendy and Clara took place. It was really far from his home.
"Is every pregnant woman always this annoying? Doesn't he know that I'm tired of wanting to rest? Ah, my wife is ... always!" his grunts in the middle of his footsteps headed for the front yard of the house, where his car was parked.
It is no longer a new thing for David to face his wife who often acts annoying after pregnancy. However, still it always made him furious and inflamed. Even more furious, when he could only hold back without letting out the anger he was craving.
From the majesty, David pressed the button on the remote key of his car, so that an alarm sound was heard indicating that the car key had been opened.
Hearing the voice and realizing that the master had gotten into his car, Yudhi immediately opened the gate again, though a little confused.
David immediately pressed the gas pedal, then pushed his car out of his yard. The man immediately drove his car at full speed, hoping to arrive at his home soon again in a short time.
Worried about not getting any news from the girl, Aretha grabbed her bag and reached for her smartphone from inside.
The woman immediately scrolled the screen of her phone, looking for Diandra's contact. Once he found what he was looking for, he immediately pressed the voice call button, a sign that he was going to call his best friend.
Aretha put the phone screen to her ear, then waited for a while the call was connected to the number.
His phone call was connected until a common sound was heard from a call. However, there was no answer from the owner of the number. Aretha did not want to give up. He kept trying to repeat the call, but again there was no answer.
"This kid why the hell, it always worries me!" gerutu Aretha while staring at the screen of his phone.
Yes, Aretha was always worried about Diandra. His worries were more than those of the other two friends. Not because he was picky, preferring attention to one of his friends. It's just, because he knows how Diandra's life has long lived far away with both parents.
Given that, Aretha always felt deep sadness. When he can be close to the people he loves, Diandra is the opposite. In fact, he was very sorry, when Samuel left the city. He knew what was going to happen to Diandra's feelings, though Diandra never told him about her feelings for Samuel, but he could read it from the look on the woman's face that there had been love in her heart.
However, there was nothing he could do to keep Samuel from staying and accompanying him when he learned of another reason why Samuel was still forcing him to leave, and he understands that very well.
The woman kept trying to make calls to Diandra's number without wanting to give up. After repeatedly, he was finally able to grin happily, when he got the answer to his phone call.
"Ra, where have you been? I called earlier, why not pick up? Where are you now?" cerocos Aretha without wanting to mince words.
"What the hell is it, Re?" Diandra's voice sounded raucous and very lackluster.
"Ra, why? You just woke up? You didn't come to Rendy's show?" Again Aretha asked without pause.
"Hmmm ...."
"Don't you ever get sick again?" Aretha is still trying to make sure. However, Diandra was silent.
"Ra, answer me!" aretha began to worry.
"Hmm .. I just have a normal fever, Re," replied Diandra in a slightly forced tone.
"Oh my goodness, Ra .. have you been to the doctor?" Aretha's eyes began to tear.
Whatever bad things about Diandra, it always makes her sad. It seemed that he himself was in the position of Diandra at that time. The condition is sick, but the people closest to him are far from him, even though it is only as rare as a mild illness.
"Gue is just a normal fever, maybe it will improve soon, after I rest enough," replied Diandra.
"Geez, Ra .. Why don't you tell me, anyway? I'll be able to help you get to the doctor" complained Aretha.
"Gue is okay, Re. Relax, there's no need to worry about me too much. Am I not used to this?" Diandra spoke in a very slow tone and his last sentence, as if piercing Aretha's heart.
"Yes, Ra ... hopefully get well soon, yes" said Aretha with a soft heart.
It felt like he forced Diandra to go to the doctor that night as well, but he was sure that Diandra would definitely refuse him. Aretha immediately ended the call, and then intended to contact her two best friends.
Without any pause, Aretha immediately made a phone call to Tania. Considering his best friend was a prospective doctor, hoping he could help Diandra that night.
"Hallo, Tan! Lo where is it?" ask Aretha.
"Yes, Re. I'm still on the road, why?" ask Tania across there.
"Gue just called Diandra, it turns out that tonight he was not present at Rendy's sister's event," Aretha told reporters.
"Isn't he? It's worth looking for nothing, '" Tania replied.
"Lo know? It turned out that he was sick," Aretha told him. His facial expression looked clear, although he knew that Tania would not be able to see him back then.
"Seriously, Re? What pain is he?" Tania sounded very enthusiastic.
"Lo can help me, right?" ask Aretha.
"What?"
"If you could please stop by his house for a while to visit him, because all I know is he has not had time to see a doctor, even though he just said a fever, but still I feel anxious," aretha.
"Of course, I'll see her, Re," replied Tania.
"Thanks yes, Tan. Suppose there is nothing you tell me again, Tan," said Aretha before he ended his conversation with Tania.
"Okay, Re."
Finally he was able to breathe a little sigh of relief, after hearing that Tania was willing to visit Diandra. At least, the worry is slightly reduced, although that has not ensured that Diandra is fine.
"Kok, all of a sudden I want to eat egg crust huh?" aretha said in the midst of her daydream.
I don't know why he suddenly remembered the food. Instantly he imagined how delicious the typical Betawi food he had met on the roadside earlier, after his show Rendy and Clara.
"Do I ask David to buy it?" Aretha thought for a moment. "It seems like a very good idea," he added later.
Without waiting any longer, Aretha immediately sent a Whatsapp message to the husband so that they buy eggs crust for him. Instantly he grinned happily, when pressing the send button on his phone screen.
After the whatsapp message was sent to the husband's number, Aretha immediately went to the bathroom to perform daily rituals, without waiting for a reply from the husband first.
***
Aretha spent about twenty minutes in the bathroom. I don't know what he's doing in there.
When finished with the activity. Aretha immediately went out and changed clothes, then began to land her body on the chair in front of the dressing table, just to comb her hair. All his activities were completed, coinciding with the door of his room that suddenly opened, then the husband appeared from behind the door. He seemed to capture his reflection from the mirror in front of him.
Aretha looked back while smiling. "Mas, are you home?" I asked him who had just finished combing his hair. He seemed to get up from the dresser chair, then approached the husband with a happy grin.
"This is what you ordered!" David smiled as he gave the white to Aretha.
Pleased, Aretha immediately grabbed the tote from David's hand, then sat back in the dressing chair. He seemed to look at the fist. However, there seemed to be less than within that bag. Aretha looked looking for. However, it turns out that there is less.
"Mas, where's the crust?"
