RICH MAN
AN EQUATION

"Mas, wake!" Marwa kept shaking her husband's body to wake up. Last night the man asked to be awakened because he would return to his activities at the office.

Marwa herself did not even know which company her husband worked for. She simply obeyed what her husband had told her to wake the man up.

"Five more minutes," the man said.

"Later to bad luck" replied Marwa firmly.

"What time is it?"

"Over eight hours, I woke up Mas from earlier, Mas replied five minutes only,"

Rey got up from her bed. "Gosh,"

"Mas, it's dawn prayer, right?"

"Udah, I went to bed again because of the soy sauce so sorry if I woke up late" he told his wife.

The woman did not react. He gets out of Rey's bed and picks up a towel, then gives it to Rey. "Bath bath yes! I'm ready for breakfast,"

Rey obeyed his wife's orders and rushed to the bathroom. The new routine he experienced after marriage was awakened every morning by his wife. Even at dawn his wife never forgot to wake him even though they did not pray together. But his wife did a good job.

After three days they were about to buy cooking utensils, but it was canceled because his wife was treated as such. Rey herself is upset with the person who seems to insult her wife who wears a veil.

For a few days they buy food for breakfast, until their dinner. Until finally yesterday, they decided to buy cookware from online. Even in the afternoon Rey chose to go shopping alone to meet the needs of the kitchen because she did not want the same incident to repeat again.

Marwa records some of the cooking ingredients needed, and Rey buys them alone. He also bought some items that were not on the list written by his wife.

A few minutes later she came out of the bathroom and dried her hair. On the bed there is a suit available there.

Rey who saw that just smiled. All his needs now no longer need he prepare alone. There was a new change in his life that was very noticeable.

The sound of the washing machine stopped Rey from focusing. He came out while buttoning his shirt.

"What are you doing?" when he saw his wife doing housework.

"I am holy, what is it?"

"Can laundry, Marwa,"

"I can do it myself. It's my job,"

Rey did not want to argue with the woman. Marwa turned around, "Marwa can help you put the tie on?"

The woman immediately approached Reynand and obeyed his orders. Meanwhile Reynand answered the phone and remained focused while looking at his wife who was putting on a tie.

Marwa is leaving. Rey held his wife's hand while still talking to someone on the phone. After she finished speaking, Rey put her phone in her pants pocket.

"I'm going to the office soon. You go to Mama's house, somebody pick you up,"

The woman fell silent, "Mas, why aren't you the one who dropped in?"

"I was in a hurry and probably went home a little late. Take it easy, who picked it up was a woman, your special driver from Mama, it was Mama who chose. So don't worry,"

Rey as if reading Marwa's mind, the woman did not want to be with a foreign man. She did not want her husband to feel uncomfortable with such a trivial matter.

"Mama knows, so Mama is ready a special driver for her daughter-in-law" said Rey while fixing Marwa's hijab.

Though his feelings have not grown. But Rey wants to feel her happy moment, being with another woman does not mean she cannot be happy. He wants to open his heart. Open a new page with someone new. Don't have to be with women of the past who have been so vulnerable.

"What time is it coming home? He said it's late, what time is it?"

"It's okay, Mom. You have breakfast now, I'm ready,"

"When's the bale? Really quick?" Reynand.

The woman seemed to be smiling, her narrowed eyes made Reynand sure of that. "I've been preparing breakfast for Mas, but Mas will sleep, so how to know," said the woman while holding Rey's hand to the place to eat.

There were some bread and chocolate butter.

"Do you know where I like chocolate? and do you know where I'm having this breakfast?"

"I called Mama last night. Ask me what you like,"

Rey smiled at his wife's innocent answer. Of course the woman will know what Rey likes and what she does not like about her mother.

Rey smeared chocolate jam, as she gave the bread, her wife shook her head. "Why don't you want to?"

"No chocolate, no" Rey stopped and her hands fell silent in the air. It was one thing he remembered, that the Stars did not like chocolate.

"Marwa, what don't you like?"

"One of them is chocolate, Mom. Too sweet,"

Rey nodded and started eating her breakfast. The woman smeared strawberry jam on her bread and ate it slowly. This time he understood why the woman was present as a figure that reminded him of the Star. A thing that makes Reynand hold back all his heart about the past and the people present have something in common.

They finish the breakfast, Marwa cleans the dishes and Rey receives a call from them several times.

"Is that how busy you are, Mom?" the remark made Rey nod slowly.

"I'm sorry if you feel neglected" he said slowly.

"Nothing. The important thing is you can take care of your health, Mas,"

Rey felt herself floating in the air. Only with such little attention was he happy, all this time no one cared for him other than his parents and his family. Unlike today, he was reminded by his wife straight away.

"Mas, what's wrong with you?"

Rey woke up from her daydream and looked directly at her wife.

"I'm not okay,"

"So when did it go? It's almost nine o'clock, is it?"

Rey nodded, "I'll get the car keys first,"

The woman immediately raised her hand which in her hand was Rey's car key. "You can't be late, Mom,"

Rey smiled. "Thank you,"

Marwa raised her right hand. Reynand raised next to his eyebrows, it might be true this time that his wife needs a living from him. "Money? I transferred to your account, what's your account number?"

"Page, Mas. Not money," his wife replied in an annoyed tone.

Rey scratched her non-itchy head, it was true that this time she had already had a wife, and the woman greatly made her feel a different way than usual.

Rey grinned as the woman kissed her hand. He said hello and was answered by his wife. Get out of his apartment. At the door Rey stroked his chest.

"Oh my God, if you can't stand it, your heart has fallen from the same attitude of the wife who makes stubbornly just."

Reynand took a deep breath. Because the first time after the wedding, the woman kissed her hand again. And someday it will become a habit that will be felt by Reynand every day.
