Home Sweet Home

It's 6 o'clock in the evening. There is a lot of traffic jam. Usually I get home in 1 hour from office, but now it's still half way. I can't move to other lanes, because it's crowded. Everyone keeps pushing horn. I think for a moment, we are trapped here. Sometimes I see outside the window, see hawkers selling their snacks. That's right, I'm starving right now. Seeing their snacks make my stomach goes crazy. I turn on my radio to see what causes this traffic jam. "Hmm, channel one doesn't say about it. Channel two only plays music. The others don't say about it too. Damn.." I get upset. So I'm just listening some musics, to get rid this boredom.

The car only moves about 5 meters every 3 minutes. "It's really annoying." I say that. "Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!" I hear my phone vibrating. I see who's calling me. "Oh, it's my wife." So, I pick up the phone.

"Yes, mom."

"Dad, where are you? Why aren't you home yet?" my wife asks curiously.

"I'm stuck in traffic jam. It's not usually like this. I don't know why." I reply that.

"Is it still long?"

"It's still half way. Maybe I get home around 7 o'clock." I answer her.

"Okay then. I have made dinner. Your favorite food." She jokes me.

"Nice, I can't wait to eat it." I answer happily.

I hang up the phone after that. The car moves 5 meters ahead. I can only seat here, enjoying the traffic jam and listening music from radio. I can imagine when I get home, being welcomed by the person I love the most. Then sit together in the dinner table and eat together. My reverie is suddenly gone by the horn behind me. I see my car ahead has moved. "Oh, I didn't see it." I try to ignore this hunger and keep patient.

Finally, I'm home. Just as I thought, it's 7 o'clock. My wife welcomes me with her beautiful smile. "Hello, welcome home." She greets me with smile.

"Hello, my darling. I have a present for you." I give her a bunch of flowers.

"Wow, it's really beautiful. You must be remembered what day it is." She says happily.

"Of course I do. It's our anniversary." I say that. Then I kiss her forehead.

After that, we are having dinner. I see the table has been arranged by her. There is also a candle in the middle of table. "It's astonishing. You set it beautifully." I say that in amazement.

"Yes. It's our anniversary. So it must be interesting." She replies with smile. After that, we sit together and eat. We talk each other while eating.

"Do you have any event tomorrow?" I ask her.

"No. Why?" She asks me back.

"If not, we can go somewhere outside the town." I see her surprised as I say that. "Yes. Where are we going?" She asks enthusiastic.

"We go to Puncak. There we can drink yoghurt. Your favorite milk." I reply her with smile. She gives me her lovely smile. I look into her eyes and hold her hand.

After having dinner, I clean up the table and she washes the dishes. We always work together to clean up our house. After that, I take a shower and prepare to sleep.

"When we leave tomorrow?"

"We leave at 7 a.m. So when we get there, it's around 8 a.m. The place is already opened usually." I say that to her.

"Okay. We need to get sleep then, so tomorrow we can get up earlier." She replies.

"Yes, my queen." I joke her. She laughs at me.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Then I kiss her and we sleep in this beautiful night.
