My Bow to the Destiny of Love
Cravings or doyan

"Ngapain knock-knock on gini's midnight door?" Zidane frowned as his sleep was interrupted by a knock on his bedroom door.

"Mh.. Ayra wants to borrow the keys to the bike, brother." Say Chayra carefully.

"Why borrow the key of the motorcycle Brother midnight gini? Want to sell your motorcycle secretly?!"

"Eh, it's delicious. No, Brother. I'm going out with Ardian for a second." Chayra is upset about such accusations.

"It's midnight, Ayra. Where you going. You're pregnant, Deck. Don't fuck around. Where's your husband?"

"I want to go out with him. But, I want to use Zidane's bike." Chayra said that with her head down.

"You just wait in the living room. Brother wants to talk to your husband. Ngawur ni son, want to walk on a motorcycle in the middle of the night." Grumbled Zidane.

Chayra's not in the living room. He was just sitting on the long sofa in front of Zidane's room.

Zidane just glanced at Chayra. Deliberately did not give a definite answer to Chayra for waiting for Ardian's arrival. When he saw Ardian walking closer to him, Zidane immediately threw a rough breath.

Zidane pulled Ardian's hand a little away. "Where are you going at this hour?" Looked at Ardian sharply.

"Mh.. Chay wants to eat satay, brother. I've asked him to wait for me at home, let me find myself until I can. But, he said he wanted to eat on the spot. Don't know what I was gonna say. Want to refuse, fear my son will be reeleran later."

"Hum..." Zidane grunts. "Mitos it, Ardian. You're the one who lies easily to your wife."

"I can't refuse, Brother. Brother Zidane himself knows, Ayra is what if not obeyed his wishes."

"You spoil him too much. What if it keeps working until later. You are busy working. Don't be too pampered like this."

"I'm afraid I won't be given any more rations, brother." Ardian scratched his nape. "So I've been given full energy until the final twice."

Zidane frowning. "What energy..?!"

"Inner energy that is able to make a man feel happy. Hehe.." Ardian whimpered, scratching his nape again.

Zidane finally could only open his lips after understanding Ardian's intentions. "Don't be too often, your wife is still pregnant young. Remember, Doctor's message when he went to the hospital yesterday?"

"This is just a tumben since a few days ago. Last time you check. About a week ago, brother."

Zidane breathed a heavy sigh. He was still a stranger to talk about such a relationship because of his unmarried self. "Wait a minute, I'll get you the keys to the bike. Just get your wife to get a jacket so she doesn't get cold." Passed from Ardian's presence without waiting for the man's answer.

Chayra looks very excited riding a big motorbike. "A struggle not in vain, brother. Huhaha..."

Ardian just shook his head slowly at his wife's behavior. "Handle, Chay. I'm gonna speed this up.."

"Eits, don't fuck around. If I'm surprised later, Brother's child will also be affected. Bismilbornrahmanirrahim.." Fixing his sitting position, hugging Ardian's waist while sticking his head on the man's back.

Ardian's lips developed a faint smile. His thumping chest received such treatment from his wife.

"We're going to a satay vendor near Campus, sister."

"The clock is closed, Chay. We're going to the seller in front of Mom's store."

"Mmm. The location is too close. I want something further."

"Eh, basic...!"

Ciiittt.....

Ardian stopped the vehicle. Opening his helmet while looking at his wife. "So you just want to go for a walk so ask to come along."

"Ehehehe," Chayra cengengesan. "Udah ah, why wear open all helmets. Surprised is overrated, brother. Yeah, it's okay to buy it in front of Mom's Store."

Ardian put his helmet on. "Why don't you wear the niqab. Your face is clearly visible."

"I don't think there will be anyone at this hour, so don't wear it. It turns out that it's still crowded." Chayra reached into his jacket pocket. "I wear a mask, it's okay.."

"Mmm. rather than not wearing it at all. Yeah, well, the real handle we're sliding again."

The satay buying drama finally ended after Chayra actually spent three large portions of satay. Plus two jumbo-sized lontongs. Ardian gulped several times looking at the Chayra meal that changed drastically.

"Are you full now?"

"Alhamdulillah, no. Thank you, Ayang Beb, for accompanying me out tonight." Chayra suddenly hugged her husband's arm.

Chayra glanced off her grip on Ardian's arm. "Don't like being called that? I have long since prepared that call."

"Who doesn't like it, dear. Even my heart is blossoming, called the same you." Pull Chayra's hand and put it on her chest.

Chayra pulled out her hand, wiping her mouth as she got up. "Sir, isn't the satellite still there?"

The satay merchant who was packing turned to look at Chayra. "Still, Neng. How many more servings?"

"One day, sir. The usual portion."

Ardian touched his wife's arm. "Are you sure you want more?"

"No, I want to take it home for Zidane's brother. Brother Ardian would, too, let me order one more serving?"

Ardian immediately shook his head. Shudder in horror at the thought of eating in the middle of the night. "I don't normally eat past nine in the evening. Especially at this hour." Glanced at his watch which showed twelve o'clock past thirty minutes.

While waiting, Ardian stared at the shop in-laws who looked still crowded visitors even though the time was already midnight. "Alhamdulillah yes, Chay. Mother's shop is always crowded even though it's midnight like this."

Chayra just nodded. Not paying much attention to her husband's questions.

Ardian walked away from the satay seller. Walked closer to the Shop and noticed the still bustling human traffic. Maybe because of its location in front of the Hospital, it is what makes the Shop never empty of visitors.

Chayra waved at her husband while calling out to him. Ardian nodded and walked quickly to his wife. Not making the woman wait too long. His eyes are also sleeping again.

*****

After establishing the Maghrib prayer that night..

After several years of waiting to see her Papi who is still sick, Ardian finally left tonight. But did not visit the Hospital, because Sucipto was allowed to go home two days ago.

Upon returning from visiting her Papi, Chayra again asked her husband to accompany her to go buy satay. Borrowed Zidane's motorcycle keys for the umpteenth time.

"Your wife, Ardian. Why the hell, you always obey his wishes. If it has been more than once it is no longer cravings his name. That's mah doyan." Zidane said, putting the keys of the bike roughly in the palm of Ardian's hand. "Now eat full. It's early tomorrow, Hoek. Kirain I don't worry what every morning I hear her spewing out her guts."

Ardian smiled in response to Zidane's remarks. Time still shows at nine o'clock. So there is still a lot of time for him to be able to finish his pending work last afternoon at the office.

That morning, Ardian was in a bit of a hurry when he was about to leave for the Office. Because again Chayra vomits until it drains all of her stomach.

The woman repeatedly asked him to leave. However, Ardian did not feel good about having to leave his wife in such a state. Although the phone continues to ring because there is a meeting schedule that he must attend this morning.

"Just get up, brother. God willing I'm okay." Chayra spoke on the sidelines of his vomit.

"No, Chay. I have to make sure you're okay. The money can be found later. Your health should take precedence now." Ardian said without looking at his wife. His hands were busy typing messages on his phone. Suddenly he walked away from his wife when a voice call came in.

"Yes, sir, yes.. I'll be here soon. My wife is sick. So I have to take care of it first."

"........."

"I'd rather postpone the meeting than not be able to take care of my wife. Good morning.." Ardian immediately turned off the phone. He approached Chayra who was still standing in front of the sink.

"You're leaving, Ardian. Let me take care of Ayra." Santi felt bad for hearing Ardian speak on the phone earlier.

"But, Mum..."

Santi breathed a heavy sigh. Patting Ardian's shoulder slowly. "You're over-conserving, son. Pregnant people are like this."

Ardian was silent.Seeing at his in-laws who still kept staring at him. "Mmm.. okay, Mom. Then Ardian leaves now. Chay Titip. Call me right away if anything happens to him."

Santi nodded with a smile. "Step, Son. Be careful on the road."

"Armandian, assalamualaikum.."

Arriving at the Office...

Plaque..!

One slap landed hard on his left cheek.

"Love what you love your wife to the extent that you have to sacrifice your work repeatedly, Ardian."
