Night In Istanbul
Second Puberty?

I'm happy with Mas Ryan's change to be charming. But on the other hand I still feel like something's up.

(Let's Ana think positive, Mas Ryan just wants to look attractive and neat in front of you)

"Ana, it seems that the skincare that we bought was suitable for your skin, huh?" Tina started the conversation in the cafeteria while we were on our afternoon break.

"Yes, my face is clean and bright now. The pain that was healed a few days ago also. Thank you, Tina.."

"Eye-sama Ana. I'm glad it fits on your skin."

"Oh yes, at that time Tina had not met again with Mba Sinta huh?" Intan started to join the fray.

"Where's Sinta Tan?"

"Well, Tina forgot too. I thought only Ana forgot."

"That's Loh Tina, who some time ago we met at the restaurant and he joined because the restaurant was full." Intan told with passion.

"Oh.. Yes, I remember now. He said he's on vacation, right here.?" Tina ensure.

"Well, right. A few days ago when we bought skincare, I met Diana again with Mba Sinta."

"Oh, so what happened to Mba Sinta Tan?"

"You know what Tina isn't? Mba Sinta said until a few months later it is still here. He said there's a need to be done." Intan seemed excited to explain.

"Keep the same relationship with you, Tan?"

"Well, there's no relationship. Just gonna tell me.." Intan seemed disappointed by Tina's flat response.

"Yes, Intan is still a julidin person." Tina and I do not like the attitude of Intan who likes julid.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Intan looked sorry.

"Kurangin's like that Tan. Not good, though." Tina still advises.

Hearing Intan open the conversation about Mba Sinta I look back at myself. The skin on my face is already bright and the acne is no longer appearing. But I still feel inferior. Especially now that Mas Ryan also began to pay attention to his appearance.

"Intan, Tina don't you think I'm pretty?"

My question actually made Tina and Intan look confused.

"Why are you suddenly asking like that Ana?"

"Yes, you're usually ignorant and never ask about appearances.." Intan still scrunched his forehead.

"A few months ago, I was insecure. Tina is beautiful and Mba Sinta is beautiful when we are the same age. Instantly I feel like a duck..."

"I asked Mas Ryan about my performance. Well, of course Mas Ryan said I'm still pretty...."

"But lately I've been feeling inferior again..."

"In addition to seeing the beautiful Tina and Mba Sinta, Mas Ryan lately who is usually indifferent so he cares about his appearance as well..."

"Even now have skincare for men..."

Tina and Intan were silent. I knew they were confused as to what my story would look like.

"Ana, every woman has her own beauty charm.."

"If everyone had the same standard of beauty, there would be many twin dong.." Intan was trying to encourage me.

"Ana, your nose is sharp, your eyelashes no longer need to use mascara because it's natural long, your eyebrows thick and neat..."

"You don't need to make strange makeup because it is beautiful. You don't have to be that low..." Tina looked at my face with a smile.

"That bill! You are beautiful by yourself. Besides, if you're not pretty, is Ryan your husband?" Intan added.

"Thank you, Tina and Intan. I feel better now."

"Let's eat more gaess. Soon to class." Intan reminded while eating his lunch.

After lunch, we immediately entered the class. Today there were no college assignments to do and we went home at 14:30 local time.

"Tan, Ana, should we stop by the cafe over there?"

"Come..!" Intan eagerly answered Tina's invitation.

"I want to go home, Tina."

"Well, what is it? Come on dong. We've been busy these past few months.."

"Yes Ana. We are always late for the task. Until there's no time to just unwind.." Intan.

"Yes, I tried to ask my husband permission first.."

I grabbed the phone in the bag and called Mas Ryan.

Foetish... Tuut.... Tutt... Tutt..

(No answer, try a few more moments)

Appeared on my phone screen writing like that.

"Cock tumben not directly lifted huh?"

"Is your husband sleeping?"

"Jam this time Mas Ryan didn't sleep Tan. I tried again, yeah.."

Foetish...Tuut....Tuber

"Hello Assalamualaikum Mas..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi yes Dek what's up?"

"Mas, what else was that? My phone didn't get picked up?"

"From the bathroom, my dear."

"Oh...."

"What's up?"

"Mas, I invited Intan and Tina to a cafe near the campus can not?"

"Today we came home fast and happened to be without a task."

"May you love nothing.."

"You're almost every day doing errands until night, it's only natural that there's free time like this your friends invite to play.."

"Yes Deck. Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need to. I'll be with Intan later."

"Be careful when you go home, baby.."

"Yes Mas. Assalamualaikum.."

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi Dek..."

"Break three more.." Intan looks very excited.

The three of us immediately stepped towards the cafe that Tina pointed to. Arriving at the cafe, we met Professor Adskhan. As usual, Intan is back.

"Geez, I didn't see it wrong, did I? That's Professor Adskhan, right?" Ask Intan

"Std..Don't yell at Tan. Shameful.." I elbowed Intan who was standing right beside me.

"Yes, yeah. I won't scream. Btw, Professor Adskhan again who is it? Are students also? And younger. But I've never seen him on campus." Intan is still kepo.

As we sat down, both of Intan's eyes seemed to not want to be separated from the Professor's seat.

"Intan, submit your views. Can't see it like that." Tina began to advise.

"Oh, yes, Astaghfirullah. But the handsome one is also the one who is again with the Professor."

"Geez, that's a child. Look at the menu." I gave the menu list to Intan. And he just laughed.

We have finished ordering the menu and are waiting for the order to arrive. Not long after we ordered, it turned out that Professor Adskhan and his dining companion were gone.

"Well, Professor Adskhan is gone..." Intan looks sad.

"Why Tan?" Ask Tina.

"Yes, I could have been treated like you were at that time.."

"Haha... Geez, ngarep treated with Professor Adsghan dong si Intan..." Tina spontaneously laughed hearing the original Intan speak.

"Maybe on another occasion Tan you're in the same treat Professor..." I'm trying to cheer up.

"AMMA..!"

"Maury..!" Tina's eyes glared like having Intan speak slowly.

Intan just shuts his mouth with ignorant eyes. As if intentionally to make us embarrassed in public.

"Oh yes Tina I want to ask. Didn't your husband ever turn out to be more dandy?"

"What's going on Ana?"

"I'm glad to see that Ryan's more presentable. But this change of Mas Ryan was too sudden for me. And for one week more this Mas Ryan every morning must have been bathing and tidy. Like someone who's ready to go.."

"Well, what do you want to go like?"

"Mas Ryan's got hair oil now. And always use perfumed oil. And that's like I said on the campus that Mas Ryan is now also diligent face care."

"Honestly, I feel a bit stuck. Are all husbands like that?"

"Hmm. if my husband does not experience the change Na. My husband was still as usual when we got married."

"But maybe it was my husband who didn't have that second puberty.." Tina answered while taking the burnt chickpea beans.

"Second puberty?" Apparently Intan followed.

"Yes, second puberty. Usually experienced by the husband when entering the age of a long marriage.."

"Try your search on G**gle..."

Hearing Tina's words I immediately opened the G**gle app. I immediately typed the word "Second Puberty".

There are many explanations for second puberty for husbands.

(Thank God that it is still relatively common experienced by husbands. Including Ryan)

Seeing that I was relieved, Tina immediately realized that I felt anxious about my husband's change.

"It's normal for Ana to be calm. If my husband doesn't experience it, it's because he's used to being neat.."

"I was worried. But if you know this, I'm relieved Tina..."

"My advice is you're both going through this Sunday. Because when the second puberty is the husband needs time to be alone with his wife..."

"Especially lately you are busy because of our lecture schedule and college assignments..."

"Indra you can put in Intan..."

"I don't think Tina can. Some time ago I promised Indra to take a walk to the park.."

"Indra is very much like me. I couldn't bear to have this Sunday's appointment cancelled.."

"Hmm.it's hard too. Because so Monday we're busy again as usual.."

"Tan, why did your tumben get them.."

Intan who is usually always chatty and dimbrung suddenly silent a thousand languages.

"Oh, it's nothing. Ana and Tina.."

Intan's face was confused and agitated. No longer cheerful.

"Tan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick again?" Tina was not satisfied with Intan's answer.

"I'm really nothing. I'll go to the toilet first."

Intan left us still confused. Tina and I looked at each other. Intan immediately headed for the cafe bathroom.

"Intan why? Is he constipated?"

"Ngawur you Na. Maybe it's just kebellet."

Before long Intan came out of the bathroom, our order was delivered. We talked and ate. Until the afternoon we went home.

While on the road I kept thinking.

(Luckily, I was able to share so I was not confused myself)

After accepting that Mas Ryan is entering the second puberty and it's normal that I feel so relieved.

If Mas Ryan is now entering the second puberty then I can not perform kuce in front of him. In addition to spending time together, it seems like I also have to look beautiful and neat in front of him.
