2X MARRIED TO A COUSIN
With You Back

Niken sat on his knees on his porch looking at the rain. He regretted his actions that had ignored Bram. Rice had become porridge, Bram had left with disappointment. Niken was equally disappointed, maybe this is the end of their story, maybe not, it's all just the assumption of Niken alone.

Niken was looking down on his mistake. Slowly two clear circles burst through both corners of his eyes continue to flow to compensate for the rain. He did not realize that a taxi was parked in front of him.

The driver got out of the car, opened an umbrella to drive rain from the passenger. The driver opened the door for the passengers, a man came out of the car, his hands carrying a few papperbags and boxes that might be filled with food.

The man seemed to frown upon finding a woman kneeling down as if she were crying. Then he approached the woman aligning her body with the woman.

"Why sit outside? Come on in, it's cold outside and you'll be sick again" said the man with confidence.

Niken looked up at his face which had been lowered. She was surprised to see the person she thought had left was now in front of her eyes.he immediately hugged her husband. "Mas Bram, I thought Mas Bram was gone." she said in her sobs.

Bram dropped all his luggage to return Niken's embrace. "Where could Mas just leave. Mas Bram has come all the way from Jakarta for you, Niken. I'm really sincerely sorry about you. I want to take care of our whole little family, raise our kids with you."

"But Mas Bram's mouth always called Tania's name," Niken was irritated.

"The promise won't be anymore, darling. I realize only you love Mas Bram sincerely, since childhood until now," said Bram.

"So why did Mas not exist, Mas Bram deliberately hid? Go ahead and let Niken out" guess Niken.

"Hahaha, why would Mas have to hide?" tanya Bram pokes Niken's nose.

"Continue?"

"Mas just bought food for us to eat, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Niken blushed to think Bram was gone.

"Can deliver order, Mas," protested Niken.

"Mas Bram wants to see the food, baby. The last two weeks Mas can not enter any food," said Bram. "Now, don't you want to bring Mas Bram in?" ask Bram again.

"Pantesan Mas Bram is now so thin, it turns out never eat," said Niken smiling.

Bram got up, then took the package of food boxes that he had dropped, moved it in his left hand. While his right hand helped Niken to rise.

Niken got up with the help of Bram, he according to his hand was pulled by her husband into the shophouse.

"Where's the kitchen, Niken?" tanya Bram looked around the room at Niken's boutique but found no kitchen.

"That's behind the stairs, but there's no dining table" Niken said.

Bram stopped his steps, "Where do you usually eat?" ask again.

"Here, Mas. We roll out the carpet" answered Niken.

"Where's the carpet?" ask Bram again.

Niken circulated his gaze to look for the existence of a carpet that is commonly used for seating when eating. "Where huh? Kok no one. Don't you mind, Mas?" she tried to take her hand out of Bram's.

Niken went up to the second floor, approaching Ririn's room located not far from her room. Niken immediately opened the door to see Ririn who was lying down struggling with her cellphone.

"What's up, Ma'am?" ririn asked, aware of Niken's presence.

"Where do we wear the carpet when we eat?" asked Niken to answer Ririn's question.

"Oh, it looks like Ririn lived on the porch, Ma'am. We'll take him to the hospital" replied Ririn grinning the horse.

"Let's take it, all of us eat together Mas Bram," asked Niken as he passed. Ririn followed from behind.

"Bak Niken is not afraid of what, if Mas Bram likes me?" asked Ririn teasingly.

"Mak Niken is already immune, Ririn," Niken replied casually.

Arriving at the ground floor, Niken picks up dishes, spoons and glasses, while Ririn goes outside the shophouse to pick up the carpet left on the terrace.

It did not take long, Ririn re-entered with a roll of carpet and immediately rolled it out. Then take drinking water that has not been taken by Niken. While Niken poured food purchased by Bram on the plate.

They ate the three with an awkward atmosphere because they were not used to it, and this was the first time for Niken to feel dinner with Bram. Only occasionally did a single sound come out from Ririn's mouth which made trying to drive away the awkward atmosphere between them.

After eating Niken felt awkward to offer Bram to sleep in his room. Instead of offering a bedroom, Niken instead invited Bram to pray together. Ririn chose to go back into her room.

"Mas, we pray jama'ah yes!" that's what came out of Niken's mouth.

"Yes later, let the food go down first. You can go straight out the food I eat if you pray directly," replied Bram.

Bram has felt his body better since meeting Niken. He was not nauseous and vomiting anymore, it may be true said his stepmother that the pain medicine is sorry from Niken, his wife who he hamili. Bram smiled to himself as he looked at Niken while sitting on his back on the sofa.

"Why Mas Bram smiles, there is something funny about Niken?" asked Niken who was astonished at her husband's attitude. Niken watched his body, since from the hospital he had not taken a bath, maybe he looked coiled in the eyes of Bram, thought Niken.

"You're thin and pale, but you look beautiful" Bram said.

"The name is also a person recovering from illness, must be pale," Niken said.

"What did you mean you said to Ririn that you were immune?" asked Bram who was curious about what Niken said when he came down from the stairs.

"Oo ... , did Mas Bram hear?"

"Yes listen, your men are on my stairs under the stairs." - timpal Bram.

"I don't mean anything, Mom," answered Niken.

Actually, Niken meant because he had loved Bram alone and never got a reply from his love. Even Bram repeatedly in love with other women without caring about the feelings of Niken. But maybe Niken's love for the man was already imprinted in his soul so that he could not turn away from the man who was currently in front of him now, the man who had already taken half his soul, he said, which has tied him to the sacred promise of marriage.

"Yes," answered Niken briefly rising from his seat to take ablution.

After that they prayed together and then get ready to rest.

"Niken has not been able to leave this boutique to join Mas Bram home" said Niken.

Currently lying on Niken's bed, Niken turned to Bram who was holding her from behind, her right hand bearing Niken's head, while her left hand stroked her flat belly.

"It's okay, Mas will visit you once a week here, the important thing is that you can take care of yourself" Bram replied. "Thank you, baby," he said again while kissing Niken's head that had been removed from the veil.

"For what, Mom?" ask Niken.

"You have forgiven Mas Bram who repeatedly hurt you" Bram replied sincerely.

"Important that Mas Bram really wants to change, this is the last chance for Mas," said Niken a little threatening.

Bram took off his right hand which began to feel numb from Niken's head slowly. He grabbed his phone from his pants pocket that had not been changed since the hospital. He opened the car banking app on his phone and typed something.

"Seek your bank account number donk, honey," she asked Niken.

Niken got up, grabbed her phone that was on the small table. Then open the phone.

"This, Mas," pointed Niken at Bram.

Bram received Niken's phone, then re-typed something on his phone. Not long after, a notification sounded on Niken's phone. Niken took back her phone and was shocked when she saw the contents.

"A lot of it, Mum?" ask Niken.

"It's in lieu of a living that Mas has never given you" Bram replied. "Udah, sleep yuk! It's night," he added.

"Thank you, Mom," said Niken sincerely. "Didn't you want to change your clothes?" tanyakanya.

"Pass just bring a t-shirt to go home tomorrow."

"Wear it, Mas. Tomorrow morning Niken wash this shirt, surely tomorrow the day after it is dry, or if Mas wants, Mas can take stock in the boutique," promised Niken.

"Well," Bram immediately changed his clothes in front of Niken, Niken still uncomfortable seeing Bram showing his aura in front of him, although he had long been Bram's legal wife, he covered his face with both hands.

Bram smiled ignorantly at the behavior of his wife. "Why did you close your eyes? You've seen it all, Niken."

Niken did not answer, he laid his body with his eyes still closed. Bram catches up with Niken to the bed after getting dressed. Maybe because during the time in the hospital they spent sleeping so at this time they are not sleepy.

*******

The next morning Tania called Rayan.

"What's wrong?" rayan asked in a hoarse voice on the phone.

"Mas Rayan, what time is it to wake up?"

"What's wrong, I like donk" replied Rayan sewot. "Oh yes, Tan. I can't pick you up today. Later if you want to go to college ask between your papa drivers, yes" he added.

"It's okay, Mom," replied Tania. Indeed I want to say Mas Rayan do not need to pick up, hihihi, Inner Tania.

Tumben nih children do not protest kayak usually, inner Rayan.

"Why do you keep calling me this early in the morning? Disturb people just rest," hardik Rayan.

"Hehehe, would like to say that today Mas Rayan does not need to pick up Tania, Mas," Tania replied innocently.

"That's all?" ask Rayan.

"Yes" said Tania.

"Good, I'm still sleepy to sleep again, assalamu'alaikum,"

Tania stuffed her phone into a sling bag, then stepped out of the house, Edos was already waiting for her in the yard by doing light stretching movements to stretch her muscles.

Edos looked at his wife who walked up to him. "Where are we going, Say?" tanyakanya.

"We're going to the hospital, Yank" Tania suggested.

"Okay, Yuk let's go!" sahut Edos.

They got into Tania's car. Edos took the car to the hospital where Nadia was treated.

"Yank, later we go home to Miss Retno yes, I miss her made hodgepodge" Tania pinta.

"Yes, I'm a miss, too" replied Edos glancing at his wife and smiling.

Without them realizing there was a car following them since they came out of the gate of the Ardiansyah house.
