The Household Ark
Ridho's stupidity

the clock shows at 4 p.m. Shanti had felt a little calm and she had also returned to fixing her makeup so that it would not be seen if she had cried.

Shanti reached home just as Ridho had also closed the warehouse and was sitting on the side porch waiting for him to come home.

"assalamualaikum..."

he took her husband's hand and kissed her with reverence.

"waalaikumssalam... just returned home deck?!"

"iya mas.. if you've met old friends like to forget the time mas..."

he noticed for a moment the tyrannical face of his wife.

" i'm sure your story isn't finished yet!"

"hmmhnm and tau hehehe"

"the kids are home?!"

"it's been like a. mas not too long ago at home.."

"yes, I've entered yuk.. I just stopped by "where cak Jo I bought meatballs for mas and children."

"wah dogged tuh afternoon-afternoon snacking meatballs..."

suddenly Mira was there to catch the chat Shanti and Ridho.

"iya dong. nih Bawaknya meatballs inside and prepare directly yes dear. mother wants to take a shower for a while. sultry thing...!"

Shanti immediately handed over the meatball pack to Mira.

"ready mom boss!"

with a swift Mira immediately grabbed it and immediately brought it in. not to forget also he prepared yes into the bowl one by one.

after bathing Shanti followed her son and husband who had been waiting for her in the TV room, they enjoyed meatballs while watching Meri's favorite volleyball game show.

indeed Meri is very hobby with volleyball sports.she is also a team member at her school.

"Mer.. he said next Sunday want a volleyball competition in the building of the tax hall huh?!"

(tax hall designation for hol hall in local area)

Mira asked Meri who was watching the flat screen with great concentration.

"are you also going with Mer?!"

Ridho asked Meri.

"yes, I'm a core player, so there's no way I'm missing!"

his eyes did not move from there.

"wow.. then we all have to watch dong. let this father's son get more spirit and can win!"

"yes, well, there will be an invitation for parents and families to sit in the stands..."

"okay then! you guys are gonna win!"

Mira again gave her sister encouragement

"must dong...!"

Shanti just quietly enjoys her meatballs while paying attention to her family's interactions.

'I should be grateful for this warmth, right?!'

in his heart Shanti murmured to him, despite the many things he thought of, but he also at least felt relieved at this time.

she could feel the affection of her children and her husband.

after the meatball meal ended, Shanti went back to her room to rest her body and head.

maybe because he was crying too much today made his head a little sore and dizzy.

"why deck?! that hurt?!"

"Ridho who also followed Shanti looked confused because he saw Shanti who had gone to bed.not usually he slept in the afternoon like this.

"my head hurts a little bit, probably from drinking too much coffee today."

Ridho approached Shanti and sat next to her.Santi's head felt for a moment the heat of her body.

"yeah, you've rested.your body is a little hot!."

Ridho grabbed a blanket and covered his wife's body to the chest and then moved from there.

Ridho sat alone on his porch, looking straight ahead enjoying the cold darkness of the night.

he was thinking about his wife, because after his return from the cafe Shanti did not talk so much.

usually people will display their cheerful face when they have met their friends.

but accidentally Ridho noticed the look of Shanti's face that was a little damp to make Ridho increasingly restless.

'who exactly was the friend you met earlier Shan?! why does it seem to make you sad? and something seems to be wrong!'

in Ridho's heart he was curious half to death at this time with what his wife had experienced earlier to make it so.

while Shanti herself can not close her eyes for a moment.

every time he tried to close his eyes, Max's image of kissing him this afternoon just kept popping into his mind.

until morning Ridho did not follow his wife in the room.he decided to sleep in the TV room while thinking about this and that.

similarly, Shanti who finally fell asleep at dawn makes him unable to make breakfast for his family because he woke up very late.

"your kids are gone?!"

Shanti approached Ridho who was busy making coffee in the kitchen.

"it was Deri on deck!"

without looking at Shanti he continued his activities.he never made his own coffee in the morning. because usually Shanti who will prepare yes.

this is the first time he has done this.

even so he still tried to understand about the current state of his wife, he also made warm milk for Shanti.

"thank you..."

Shanti grabs Ridho's milk and sits down at the table.

"mas don't open a barn today?!"

"the kids have come so they're waiting for the barn!"

"owhhh..." Shanti just nodded her head.

"Shan, can you ask me something?!"

"can you ask me what?!"

"are you so tired of staying home all day?!"

"why did you suddenly ask that?!"

"yes, I feel like you're getting thinner and thinner, too..."

Ridho paused his words.he looked at Shanti for a moment.

"mas felt since yesterday you were silent not much to say...! did the meeting with your friend not go well?!"

"owh.. don't really work. Everything is smooth and fine."

"you can let Shan out of the house meet friends and let go of your boredom.!"

"i'm not really papa mas at home."

for a moment the mood became quiet. Shanti only

he looked down at the warm milk he had not yet drunk.

Ridho was so. it sank into his raging mind.

"Shan... aren't you happy?!"

I don't know what possessed Ridho at the moment.the question just slid from his lips.

"why are you suddenly like this early in the morning?!"

Shanti felt surprised and also did not expect that Ridho would ask her like that.

"it's not so bad that I'm Shan. I'm afraid that you're actually suffering from life with me and you're just silent and you don't dare to tell me!"

Shanti does not answer any more questions Ridho who for her is very unreasonable.he immediately left there and passed leaving her own husband at the kitchen table.

after Shanti died there Ridho condemned his stupidity that had been presumptuous to ask questions that could have triggered a fight between them.
