"Check, Fe. Where's raka going?" ask Mother Maya who also saw when Raka had ridden her motorcycle.
What do I have to answer to Mother? I don't even know where my husband is going! felly murmured in the heart.
"Emm, there was an important phone call from her friend, Bun. It seems like there is something important so Raka must hurry to leave," Fely replied.
Although Fely herself did not know where her husband was going, but it felt like she had to make excuses that could be understood by mother and others, in order to keep her husband's good name in front of his family.
It is undeniable that Fely was a little disappointed by Raka's actions just now. She felt Raka could not open up to him yet. To not be honest where he should go so early and in such a hurry.
"Yes, have breakfast first! tell grandma to have breakfast now, Fe!" mother's orders.
Fely nodded and followed her mother back into the house. After calling Grandma Arum Fely headed to the dining room and it turned out that the others had gathered.
"Check, Fe. Where's husband?" reyna asked when she saw Fely just coming with grandma.
"Well, where's your kangmas?" Grandma chimed in.
"Emm, there's a sudden business, sister, Grandma. There was a friend who asked for help, it seemed that his business was so important that he had to rush away," Fely replied reasoned.
"This morning?" asked Abiyu who was a little suspicious. Just two days married but has shown a bad thing, because she believes Fely must not know the whereabouts of her husband at this time.
"Here you go, let's eat!" cut the mother so that the conversation does not get longer to make Fely cornered. And, finally they no longer discuss about the departure of Raka.
Finish eating Feli back to his room. He saw on the cellphone there was no incoming message from her husband. Fely felt anxious as well as disappointed towards Raka who gave him no news at all.
Feli tried many times to contact Raka, but there was no answer. Feli is increasingly confused and worried about the current state of Raka who is somehow where and why should go in a hurry to leave the house to skip breakfast together, and why, even for the first time after marriage.
Fely hoped nothing bad would happen to her husband. Losing Nabil in the early days of marriage, made him afraid and anxious about Raka's current existence. I hope it doesn't happen again with Raka. He would not be able to lose his loved ones again.
Tok to tok.
"Fe, can Mother come in?" The sound of my mother's voice came from behind the door.
"Ekhm .. go in bun!" fely said as he turned to the door of the room.
She opened the door and walked in slowly.
"Fe, has your husband told you?" ask mother.
Fely shook his head lazily. "Yet, Bun!"
"You have patience, don't be prejudiced against your husband, pray that Raka will be fine!" mother said advising.
Fely nodded his head obediently. "Yes, Bun!"
"Fe, Arum's grandmother will return to Riau tomorrow. Truz tomorrow again the plan Mother will return to Jakarta. Like the initial plan before you move to Yogja at that time, after you get married Mother wants you to manage the restaurant in Yogja while your sister will replace Mother to manage the restaurant in Jakarta. For that Mother wants you and Raka to stay in this house. Meanwhile, your sister will come tomorrow with Mother to Jakarta with Reyna and her children as well. What do you think?" ask mother.
"There is Raka. Mother is sure Raka will take good care of you. You have to be patient, every marriage there will be incompatibilities and differences, but it is a natural thing and must happen as a spice in the household. And, the dispute that will later make you more mature in dealing with problems. You have to be patient in dealing with it. All the problems must have jan out. Mother is sure you can get through it. If you need help, tell Mommy?" mother said advising.
"Alright, Bun. Fely will try his best, but ask Abi brother to visit occasionally, Bun? to evaluate the resto, "pinta Fely.
"Yes, Honey. Mommy will talk to your sister."
Until late at night Raka has not come home. Raka only gave it once through wa, if not yet able to go home because the business is not finished. Fely's feelings were mixed between annoyance, anxiety and uneasiness.
All the bad thoughts popped up in his brain. However, he hurriedly brushed it off. In her prayer she prayed, hopefully her husband is fine and all his business is launched so that he can return home soon. Fely fell asleep in the living room chair.

Sayup-sayup heard the sound of the morning adhan reverberating from a distance. Fely who was about to get up from his sleep found it hard to move. He blinked his eyes to adjust to the dim light in his room. Now his consciousness began to gather after a moment of silence.
Apparently a burly hand coiled over his stomach. Raka had gone home, and was sleeping beside her soundly. Fely was so grateful to see that. At least Raka did not forget that there was his wife who was waiting for his return.
Fely changed her sleeping position so that she now faced her husband. All her anger that had raged in the chest seemed to disappear from her longing for her husband. Hugged her husband's burly body, until his longing was cured. A single tear fell on his cheek.
Raka felt his sleep disturbed by the activities caused by his wife. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw Fely hugging his body. He tightened his hands to hug his cute wife tighter.Flipped Fely's forehead with a lot of affection.
"You're awake, my dear!" said Raka with a little loosen his embrace while looking at his wife's face.
Fely immediately made some distance and lashed a blow to her husband's chest.
"Evil! where were you yesterday? it's been a long time!" his cerocos vented his anger that re-emerged.
Raka smiled as she clasped Fely into her arms forcefully. He knew his wife would be angry because she came home late. He gave his wife a chance to let out her uneg-uneg first in silence and simply listened as she unceasingly grumbled in his arms. He feels guilty for making his wife feel anxious and going through a certainly unpleasant day after his departure yesterday. He was determined to explain it later after performing the prayer.
"Dear, sorry to make you anxious. Later I explain everything, now we pray first! okay?" persuaded Raka trying to make his wife's anger recede.
At least with prayer will make his wife's heart more calm and relieve his anger. And so he still had time to think of the right reasons to explain Yahya's call yesterday so he had to hurry to the hospital, and he had to go home late at night.
Lucky last night Fely fell asleep in the living room. Abiyu opened the door for her. Although she got an unpleasant look from her sister-in-law, but Raka understood that, because she was indeed guilty in that regard.
Luckily, Abiyu did not make a fuss or interrogate him. Abiyu simply told him to bring Fely into the room. And asked him to tell me if he should be late to go home.
"Next time tell Fely if you have to go home late, and tell him not to wait. Pity from the afternoon he kept being outside waiting for your return! bring him in!" abiyu said with a slightly taut tone.
"Well, Mas," answered Raka politely, then carried Fely into the room.
