CONFESSION STONED
114. Still Doubtful

“Lusa we go to the home of the fathers yes Jah..” said Bara before leaving for the office. “We haven't been there for a long time because I'm busy. Tomorrow is holiday, fathers at home.”

“I need to cook something? I cooked it... What do you like? Oh I also haven't done shopping—aku masakin three macems. Tomorrow is Friday??” Sejah looks busy into the kitchen checking the refrigerator and basket where he keeps onions and kitchen herbs.

“Do not cook. Saturday mom must be cooking regular kayak.” Bara had finished wearing his shoes and was about to leave, but Dijah left him instead.

“Might not bring anything. I can't possibly come empty handed. I have always forbidden to go to my mother's house alone. I thought I'd never been there. The effect does not matter.” Sejah is still busy looking at his grocery records.

“I'm not saying it because you can't go there alone. But fathers are rarely at home on weekdays. They are outside continue,” Bara said as he walked to his wife. He understood the uneasiness of the Sejah who still felt not fully accepted in the Wirya family. His wife is still insecure.

Two weeks since their return from vacation, Bara has been getting busy. The material obtained during the seminar in Bintan must be returned to be conveyed to other employees in a meeting and training.

“Ya, the day after, right? I'm cooking. Especially bring Dul. Ask him to macem-macem.” She looked at her husband.

Bara nodded. “I told mom we wanted to come. If you're tired, don't cook much. Entar we buy cake or what to bring there.”

“Mas departs now?”

“Iya, leaving. I want to say goodbye, want to kiss, you go to the kitchen.” Bara laughed then approached Dijah and cupped his wife's face. Sejah receives a kiss from Bara with his tiptoe legs barely hanging.

While busy clenching his wife's lips, the cellphone in the pocket of Bara's pants vibrated.

“Sepentar—kayaknya mas Heru nelfon me. Yesterday he said he wanted to leave together,” said Bara reached into his pants pocket. Bara was still standing squeezing his wife's body near the stove when he saw the caller turned out to be Joana.

“What do you want? Maybe this is important,” said Bara trying to control his voice to sound ordinary. He did not leave in front of his wife.

“Ya Jo?” sapa Bara's. “My book? There's kok. Maybe he was busy not seeing his hape. Call me a minute again.” Bara stroked the back of the Sejah who was throwing a sharp gaze.

“I have a need, rather urgent. Your mom's home tomorrow, right? I need materials to be a speaker. How do you think Ra?” joana asked across the phone.

“Well how ya... That's my mom who knows. You talk to him directly. I don't know what he's doing on campus.” Bara glanced at his wife then touched the nape of the woman's neck and played with her hair pigtails.

“Oke, yes already. I'm calling your mom again. Tomorrow I intend to go to your mother's house. Ask for input about public speaking. I'm just the first speaker, so I'm nervous. You're not there too? Tomorrow is saturday?” ask Joana again. Sewn ears can clearly hear the woman's words.

“Don't know, watch it. Yes, I want to go to the office. I'm late,” Bara said.

“Oh is still at home... I thought I was in the office.” Joanna laughed across.

Why should I laugh? What's so funny about knowing Bara's still home? What if her husband had arrived at the office? Can you call for a long time? Seized shifted Bara's body then went to the sink and started to light the faucet. Mbok Jum sounded still busy in the back bathroom. The old woman sat down with a ringklik cleaning the fish.

“Perhaps very important so that you want to go home,” Bara murmured as if giving additional information to the ears of Dijah about the intention of Joana's arrival to her mother's house.

Just be silent. He did not want to meet the woman. But cancelling the visit to the in-laws' house because other women also teased her heart. He is Bara's parents' son-in-law. Not that woman. Why should he avoid. Colored increasingly bend his face because of his thoughts just now.

That day I worked without thinking about it anymore. Moreover, suddenly Mas Heru brought the news that the trial of Fredy's verdict will be in the title next Sunday. He became a little agitated and worried. Will Fredy receive a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison?

Being busy looking down in front of his laptop, suddenly his desk was tapped. Instantly he raised his face and saw Joana smiling at him.

“Seriously very sir, waiting for a new position.” said Joana with a view around seeing Bara's room.

“Eh, from where?” Bara.

“Close, want to prise this.” Joana thrusting a flash. “I've called your mother, she said she can pack the ingredients and your mother will help you check. Well... Sometimes something needs to be repaired. I didn't miss Ra, it just happened to be through here, I'm asking you to help me... Can I?” Joana pulled the chair across the table and sat down casually. Joana seems to have considered him an ordinary friend.

“Unfortunately my mother is not on campus?” ask Bara.

“There is a green student table. I'm not good at disturbing. You dong are the one who is. The day after tomorrow I take it to your mother's house. All about makasi. Can it be Ra... Please..” said Joana to make her face look adorable.

“Ya already, sentar malem home office I stopped by home.” Bara took Joana's flash from the table and put it in the drawer.

“Udah eat? Eat out yuk,” take Joana.

“Aduh Jo's... I still have a job that's not done yet. Next time yes..” says Bara.

“So much boasting since marriage. We're still cool, right? I'm still disappointed not to be invited.” Joana crossed her legs. His face was still pouting at Bara.

“Truly, next time. My mind is still divided. There's something I thought,” Bara.

“Your wife is pregnant Ra?” ask Joana later. He only guessed that the business Bara thought was about his household. Joana doesn't mean anything. He was just a little nosy to want to know about the real figure of Bara's wife.

Joana thinks that Bara didn't invite her to the wedding reception because of her wife's ban. The woman Bara married must have hated him since the incident on the Polsek page.

“Eh, daydreaming! I'm dicuekin. I know your wife is pregnant. A month more so newlyweds, definitely again hot-hotnya.” Joana laughed casually.

“Udah... I'm pregnant,” Bara replied with a big smile.

“Cool rewards... As long as well, I was horrified. You will again be called father,” continued Joana still smiling. "Great!"

"Yes dong... Kang Mas Bara...." Bara laughed then pretended to tidy up his shirt collar. Joana smiled sneered.
