When you just set foot in front of the door, a message notification sound is heard. Actually, Fen was lazy to open it because she felt tired after having traveled a long way.
After thinking about it finally, he opened his cellphone when he was sitting on a bench on the terrace. Here, a message from a major publisher who is interested in the manuscript that Fen wrote. Instantly his laughter widened after reading the message. "Mas David, look! Some of my manuscripts are offering to be published. You know what that means, I will get a commission after this from every sale of the book I write. And that, is an additional income from the manuscripts I publish online."
Fen cheered with joy. He could not believe the offer that the commission was very tempting. "That will be a motivation for me going forward, I will make stories with life around me and add a little fiction to make it into writing that leads to success. Yes, I have to do that to earn money as an additional income for my child's school fees someday."
David smiled happy to see Fen so happy to get her new job. Of course, it's the same as working from home. Moreover, with the script that has been contracted, it must reach the target that has been set.
It's actually quite difficult to be a writer, Fen has to think hard every day just to meet the requirements so that the script can be published.
"How? Do you agree? What steps can you take? Then, if there's a job that might be a bit difficult, I might be able to help you with it."
It's really a passion for her when her husband always provides support and motivation. "Of course I accept, and I have to do the next process to get the work contract that we will do. Anyway, you helping me with prayers alone is more than enough. Thank you for allowing me to do this work." The husband and wife immediately hugged each other to tears of emotion.
His world now, is very different from his current hobby. The various writing and competitions as well as small events that he took part in turned out to be useful. Not only that, her experience and ability at writing a script increased until Fen got the offer. And what's even more amazing, it turns out that in the message earlier, Fen actually got a project. Create a new, original script.
This evening, a husband, and wife were sitting on a bench on the terrace of their house, enjoying the sunset. "What did you think of that place, honey? Did you like it?" David wanted to hear firsthand how his wife was feeling back.
Fen smiled. "Yes, of course. It was a gorgeous place and the children loved it too. You sure are good at finding places to get away."
"That's clear, it's not David's name if you can't make your wife and children happy. That's right," David pinched his wife's cheek.
At that time, they started chatting to each other, reminding each other of their past events. Fen thought about the story, considering it might help her illusion, so she could make a new script. All of that, cannot be forgotten.
***
A loud noise from outside the room caused Fen to wake up. "Gosh! I slept too long. What was that sound?" Fen started to panic while looking for her cell phone as a flashlight to check all over the place.
He looked at the clock, it was two o'clock in the morning. Fen got up from the bed and walked towards the kitchen. Seen a cat just come out of the kitchen window. "Surely the cat will steal the fish. Stupid cat. Even though I already put it in the food cupboard and locked it."
Fen smiled crookedly, then washed his face in the restroom. Upon returning from there, Fen felt hungry. He was trying to find leftover food yesterday. "Hopefully it's still there!"
Fen was relieved when he found food in the cupboard. "Thankfully, this is enough for myself. For the kids, and mas David, I will cook it again.
Fen took out a covered bowl containing boiled noodles and eggs in a simple omelette. This has made him full after eating it. Then he came back out with a glass of ginger coffee to warm his body again. Sitting alone and no one to talk to. It gave him the illusion of being alone.
Fen remembered that that night she would do research and adjust her writing style. This time he intends to write in a different genre than before.
From the experience of writing articles, he can also use that part to make story plots for this new project. Even though her eyes were still sleepy and seemed to feel depressed, Fen still wanted to move forward. He felt confident that he was able to complete the project as best he could.
Ehekk.. Ehekk... oh no! Bertrand Wake up! Fen was forced to put down his paper and pen, then turned off his cell phone and went to the bed where Bertrand was sleeping.
He wet himself, everything looked wet until even the thick blankets smelled of urine. Hufft... This will be my laundry.
Fen let out a long sigh, but Bertrand smiled seeing his mother's face, which he thought was funny. Fen, who is motherly, cannot take her anger out on the youngest. Her child's innocent face made her feel exasperated until Fen pinched her chubby cheeks.
Ahem! Suddenly the sound made Fen startled.
"Mas David. You surprised me, you know what, if only I had something I might have punched you earlier." Fen's tone sounded like he was annoyed. His face looks sullen.
"Since when did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me up? Even though I'm also going to accompany you to write the script. You must be hungry, have you eaten? Don't be afraid of getting fatin fact, eating that dinner actually keeps your eyes from feeling sleepy and keeps your body healthy when you stay up all night.
"Oh my gosh, how about you? Are you hungry? I already ate yesterday's leftover rice and finished it. But don't worry, after this I'll be back to cooking rice in the rice cooker. It will be easy, right?"
Fen, who was initially annoyed with her husband, became lost. He wanted to get up, and headed for the kitchen. Before that, Fen put Bertrand who had just fallen asleep on his lap.
David told his wife to stop. "Where are you going? It's better if you just keep on writing, let me cook this time. Even if the taste isn't satisfying, you know, it's called old people's cooking." The man chuckled to himself, and that amused Fen.
What? Are you going to be cooking? Did I mishear? As far as I know, you're just a husband who likes to smoke, and spends several packs per day. You know, I really don't like the smell of cigarette smoke. If you are willing to quit, or at least smoke less, it may be better for your health. You don't remember, you were sick with stomach acid that was already bad."
Feni's words made David speechless, he was indeed a talkative wife. David himself knows that he always asks for his wife's savings just to buy cigarettes. "I'll try if I can, but... You know what makes me unable to stop?"
