It didn't take long to get to Teddy's house. Nina gets out of the car along with Abi. The atmosphere of the house is still quiet because only they returned home. The workers in the house had already entered their rooms. Nina rushed into her room to change clothes and clean her face of makeup.
Half an hour later Nina finished cleaning herself. He took Abi's tuxedo and brought it to his room. Nina knocked on the door of the room that was tightly closed. Before long Abi's voice sounded, Nina went inside. Abi just finished changing clothes. His body was clad in joger pants and a black t-shirt.
Nina walked towards the walk in closet and hung the tuxedo she was wearing earlier then returned to meet Abi.
“Mas, want to eat no? I'm laper.”
“Bby, I'm also laper.”
Abi embraces Nina then walks towards the kitchen. Nina opened the refrigerator, looking for something she could process into food.
“Mas, want a steak?”
“Bby.”
Nina took out two pieces of steak and french fries from the freezer and placed them on the table. Nina prepared equipment for baking steak and frying potatoes.
“Mas fried potatoes yes. I grill the meat, let's cepet.”
Abi nodded then walked closer to the stove. Actually he had never once held a frying pan, sutil and others. But for Nina's sake, she did it for the first time. There was a sound of Nina protest when Abi put potatoes in oil that had not been hot.
“Mas.. wait for the oil to get hot first.”
“Yes where do I know.”
“Ish.. ” mas nge grill aja deh.
Nina takes over frying the potatoes and leaves the grilling task to Abi. Previously he set the fire stove first. While frying occasionally Nina checks Abi's work. His mouth and hands did not stop working.
Forty minutes passed, finally the drama-filled cooking show was over. The furniture that was used for cooking has returned clean and arranged in its original place. Abi admires the deft Nina.
“Mas have never been to the kitchen yes.”
“Ngapain also I to the kitchen.”
“Learn dong mas.”
“Make what?”
“Later if I get pregnant keep asking for food that you cooked how?”
Abi stopped eating as soon as he heard Nina's words. He stared at the girl for a long time. Noticing, Nina turned towards Abi.
“Why mas?”
“You want to get pregnant with my child?”
“Yes my goodness, the question is strange. One of our goals is to get married to get offspring. I would like to have a rich handsome boy, but do not use nyebelinya ya.”
Nina laughed at her own words. Abi stupefiedly looked at Nina. For a moment his memory returned to the figure of Fahira, his previous wife. Since the beginning of marriage Fahira has said that he wants to postpone having a baby until he is ready to conceive. Even Fahira limited their bed activities on the grounds of not wanting to concede.
“Mas.” Nina waved her hand in front of Abi's face, making the man aware of her daydream.
“Ndreamunin what? Nightmare slob yes.”
PLASTERED
A flick landed on Nina's forehead. The girl rubbed her forehead with her mouth not to stop nagging. Abi smiled at Nina who remained adorable despite the nagging.
The sound of a car entering the yard. Soon Teddy, Rahma and Sekar enter the house. Tired, Sekar went upstairs, and Teddy did too. Rahma approached Abi and Nina at the dinner table. He pulled the chair beside Nina.
“Why go home not to say?”
“Sorry ma,” replied Nina.
“You have a problem what is the same with his son om Tirta, Bi?”
“He's been rough with Nina, ma.”
“You are in Nin? Any injuries?”
Rahma watched Nina from top to bottom. The girl just grinned, not feeling good because she started the mess.
“I have nothing ma. It's all my fault, I've been with him, so I've been working. I flush the pants with orange juice.”
“Emang she why?”
“She sneaked at mas Abi. I will not accept.”
“Ngledek me? What did he say?”
“That's hmm... that..”.
Nina was confused as to how to say it. He only played his two fingers. Rahma touched Nina's hand gently.
“He said what?”
Nina approached Rahma whispering to her future mother-in-law what Tirta's son had said at the party. Instead of being angry, Rahma teases Nina.
“You believe what he said?”
“Later on the first night, prove it yourself.”
Nina's face grew red. He hurried away from the dining table. It turns out that the child and mother are equally ignorant. Nina immediately entered the room without saying goodbye. Abi was confused by his behavior. He looked at Rahma for an explanation. But Rahma just shrugged her shoulders and headed for her room.
Abi cleaned the dirty dishes they ate and put them in the dishwasher. He then stepped towards the back garden. Sit her ass in one of the chairs in the park. Gendering his back he closed his eyes. In his ears continue to ring Nina's words about having a baby. His memory also returned at the beginning of his first marriage with Fahira.
The flashback
Abi covers her innocent body as well as Fahira after their romance session. Fahira turned his body back to Abi. Abi's burly hands hugged his wife from behind. Their marriage was two months. But Abi feels Fahira is still keeping a distance from him. Even to have a husband and wife relationship, Abi still had to ask her many times.
“Ra.. How many children do you want?”
“We have just two months of marriage Bi. I haven't thought of having a child.”
“I mean how many children do you want? Don't miss nunda.”
“We still live in your parents' house. If our child is born, where will they sleep?”
“I just bought a lot near here. Patience yes, we wake up first his house.”
Fahira turned his body. He stared fixedly at the man he had known since he was still sitting in college and now status as her husband.
“Bi, we move to apartment only yes.”
“Mama ngga ngijinin Ra. We used to live here 3 or 6 months just moved into an apartment. Senengin mom first yes.”
“Ok.. We stay here 3 to 6 months but during that time there is also no making love during the fertile period because I do not want to concede. Anyway I'm out of work contract signature, I'm banned from having children for two years.”
“You didn't say sign a contract? I'm your husband Ra. Everything you do must be my permission. Without you working, I can live you!” abi's voice began to rise.
“Ya has Bi, has already done it too. Don't be angry rich.”
Abi flicked the blanket, he took the bokser as well as a t-shirt lying on the floor. After getting dressed, he walked out of the room and slammed the door. Abi chose to calm himself in the back garden. Her marriage had only lasted two months but her relationship with Fahira began to be tinged with quarrels. I don't know why the woman changed after her status as his wife. No more sweet Fahira, now his attitude turns cold.
Flashback off
“Think what Bi?”
Abi was shocked when Rahma's hand touched her shoulder. Instantly the daydream was broken. He gave a place for his mother to sit.
Meanwhile, Nina who was feeling thirsty came out from her room. Before going to the kitchen he was placed to see Abi in his room, but there was no man in his room. Nina continued her steps into the kitchen. Accidentally the corner of his eye caught Abi sitting in the back garden. As she was about to approach the man, Nina paused her intentions once she knew Abi was not alone.
“Somebody bothering your mind?”
Rahma asked again because her son did not answer. Not meant to eavesdrop, but Nina was curious about what the mother and child were talking about. He did catch Abi's change of attitude after their dinner.
“Nina. earlier she said she wanted to have a child from me.”
“Good dong then. The presence of children in your household will perfect your life. Is there something wrong with that? Don't you want to have a child with her?”
“Mama said what the hell. I really want to have a child with him. I just don't believe it yet. Honestly ma, I'm actually still afraid of facing my marriage. I'm afraid Nina will change after marriage, just like Fahira used to. I'm afraid his attitude isn't as sweet as it is now, I'm afraid he's leaving me.”
Rahma grabbed Abi's head and then put it on her shoulder. His hand gently rubbed the top of his son's head. Abi never told the story, but Rahma knew there was trauma Fahira left for her son.
“Not all women are like Fahira, one of them is Nina. Mama believes that she loves you sincerely. Trust her, son, she's not like Fahira who married you because she wanted to use you. You know why your heart moved so quickly to Nina? Because the feelings he has are sincere with you. Her sincerity that led you to her.”
“What's true like that ma? Is it true that Nina won't change later?”
“Married him, then you will know the answer soon.”
Nina leaned her back against the wall. His heart was full of listening to their conversation. Behind Abi's harsh attitude, it turns out that there is a wound that has not fully healed. It looks like Fahira managed to incise such a deep wound. Nina's heart almost popped off when a hand tapped her shoulder.
“Mama.”
“What are you doing here?”
“Sorry ma.. I.. i.”
“Already. accompany Abi. He needs you right now.”
Rahma smiled at Nina and left her. Nina tilted her head, seeing Abi still in place. Sit with your head down. Slowly Nina walked over to him. The girl was standing right in front of Abi.
“Mas.”
Abi raised his head. Their eyes meet and lock each other. Abi pulled Nina closer to him then hugged her waist. His head was buried in his lover's stomach. Her eyes closed enjoying Nina's gentle strokes on her head.
“Not sleeping mas? It's night.”
“In a moment.. I want to be like this in a moment.”
Nina lowered her head then pecked at Abi's head a few times. Just this time he saw the fragile side of the man who had already stolen his heart.
I promise you, I won't hurt you again. I will treat your wounds as you have healed mine.

It turns out men as perfect as Abi can also feel the trauma yes..😥
