In Jogja.
At the House of Ms. Mirna that morning the sky was still evening, the fog was also thick, the material with which the ice-like air pierced the bones. Adhan dawn reverberate. Encouraging Muslims to fulfill their obligations.
Ms. Mirna who had been up since 3 o'clock to fulfill tahajud moved from her mihrab. Roll up the bottom face and the alphabet. Not to end his prostration, but intend to move the place of worship to the mosque.
Farid who used to wake up at dawn also woke up. Although Farid's cold air was trying to catch him. Realizing he was hitchhiking at people's houses, Farid did not want to laze around.
"Wake up to Le? How's his sleep good? " bu Mirna asked to meet Farid in the living room.
"Alhamdulillah very well ma'am. Do you want worship?" ask Farid politely.
"Yes, will you come?" ask Miss Mirna.
"By Ma'am, I'll take the sarong first" Farid replied kindly.
Ms. Mirna smiled looking at the athletic and calm-faced man. Farid is a gentle and kind-hearted man. If only Ms. Mirna had not banned Alya, this man would have been her daughter-in-law.
But Ms. Mirna believed, God's ink line was the best. Bu Mirna's intention used to forbid Alya from receiving Farid's proposal because Bu Mirna wanted Alya to complete her internship. Miss Mirna also doesn't know the ins and outs of Farid's parents.
Miss Mirna did not regret her actions. Miss Mirna believes Ardi is Alya's best mate. A soul mate according to God in accordance with Alya. Accept all the shortcomings and advantages of Alya nature.
Not necessarily if Alya and Farid unite Farid's parents accept Alya well. Likewise, if Farid knows Alya's ugliness, not necessarily Farid can accept it.
Anya who was still afraid of Ardi was also awake. Anya is determined to prove to Ardi that they are good friends and know themselves. This morning Anya forced herself to wake up at dawn and prepare to go to the kitchen. Even if it's not his habit at all.
When Anya opened the door, Anya heard and saw Farid and Mirna talking. Anya closed the door again and chose to wait for Farid to leave.
"Aa Farid is good and sholeh, what is that why abi believes so much and likes him" Anya's inner back door.
Anya opens the door after it is confirmed Farid and Miss Mirna exit the house. Anya to the bathroom take ablution water for prayer. Then Anya woke Dinda up.
Then Farid walked behind Bu Mirna, down the path in the middle of the plantation which was still evening. Farid becomes amazed to Bu Mirna, it turns out Alya was born from the womb as well as Bu Mirna.
It should be the one who is now walking with Bu Mirna, Ardi as his son-in-law. Ah but let it be. Miss Mirna doesn't want to force a grown man. Ms. Mirna believes that one day Ardi will come to her own senses.
Alya and Ardi. As the only married couple in the house is still not awake. His nightly activities made both of them sleep more nights than the others.
Alya was still sleeping in her husband's arms. Both are equally innocent. The touch of skin with skin wrapped in blankets became the most effective medicine against the cold air in Alya's house. The colder the air the more Ardi tightened his wound.
Dinginya air in the morning also woke Ardi's heirloom that had fallen asleep. The rest of Doctor's advice and advice they forget. Alya and Ardi both reneged on the fasting deal until the second trimester, from yesterday.
Especially after being examined and confirmed with their second opinion. Place placenta and fetus Alya good. There is no cervical opening either. Alya also does not experience stomach cramps or back pain.
Although fasting and delaying are much safer, but Ardi does not heed. Especially after being taught a safe way, which is not penetration inside. Because the content of prostaglandins from the liquid can be dangerous.
The doctor also explained if the baby's chromosomes are normal, the location of implantation of the fetus is normal, the uterus is normal, then all is safe. That explanation made Ardi even more reckless and excited.
The demands of Ardi's heirloom made him wake up. Ardi returned to work his wheat fields. Giving a heavenly touch that people say is worth worshiping and gives a lot of reward to Alya.
Realizing that someone was traveling to explore her body Alya woke up.
"Maas" called Alya softly while flirting. His brain and body respond differently. Alya tried to find the location of the clockwork wall in her room.
"Udah yes Mas. It was last night" said Alya gently holding her husband's hand, holding Ardi's hand so as not to walk further. Alya looked at the wall clock already at 04:45.
"Cold baby, I want more" whispered the spoiled Ardi.
"Udah dawn, we will have bad luck at dawn. Wake up yuk! Lian was afraid," Lian gently rebuked.
Lian felt her body was very tired. But her husband was always excited and looked healthy.
"Just a moment. Let's shower them all. Mas promise follow the doctor" replied Ardi bargained.
Whatever happens, Lian chooses to trust her husband. To carry out his duties as a wife. Lian also wanted Ardi to stay by her side. Living a happy life until old age.
Make Lian that morning it doesn't feel as good as before. Lian was just fulfilling her duty. She just followed her husband. In Alya's brain was only filled with prayers to be safe and her husband was finished completing his wishes.

Miss Mirna and Farid came home from the congregation. Although it was not clearly heard, as he passed through Ardi's room, Farid heard something that he should not have heard.
Farid smiled and amused himself. There was hot coals lodged in his chest. It was no longer out of jealousy, but as Farid realized, now was also the time for Farid to get married. Farid must fight to get Anya to be his wife.
Farid put the scabbard back into the room. Then out, intending to go to the bathroom near the kitchen, Farid wanted to take a morning walk to enjoy the view of the terrace plantation around Alya's house. But all that he paused, it turned out that Dinda and Anya were in the kitchen.
"Again to what?" tanya Farid greeted Anya and Dinda.
"Again want to make tea Brother, same want to cook. But what are we confused about cooking? We can't cook" replied Dinda innocently.
While Anya was silent, she held back the awkwardness in her heart when she met Farid. Since last night Anya fought alone with her feelings. Anya lowered her gaze to avoid Farid's sight
"Surely he will be my husband, is Farid a man who will spend all my life. Farid is the man who will be the father of my son. Ah no-no" that's what always fills Anya's brain until it's hard to sleep.
"Well, your candidates are your noble wives. Thanks for the tea" Farid replied glancing at Anya who looked down.
"Denger-denger Bu Mirna is a food seller. He said the food was delicious. Ask Ms Mirna aja" continued Farid gave an idea.
"Oh yes" replied Dinda.
And sure enough, Miss Mirna came out of the room to the kitchen. Miss Mirna came with her mom-style negligee. With the head in a tight snail lid. Miss Mirna smiled at them.
"For podo ngopo Le? Nduk?" ma'am Mirna asked kindly and calmly.
"It's tea, Mom. Please drink" replied Dinda ceria showing a teapot containing tea and glasses arranged on the table.
"Wah matursuwun Nduk. Where's alya?" ma'am Mirna didn't see her son. Apparently not waking up by himself.
"Ehm Ehm" Farid cleared his throat hiding what he heard. Farid could guess what Alya was doing with her gesrek husband.
"Alya last night washed many cookware and dishes. Now it's our turn to cook" Anya replied wisely.
"Ajarin we cook ya ma'am" said Dinda.
"Try to get the fridge out!" said Ms. Mirna started guiding her guests.
Anya immediately opened it, there was tempe and sop material. Then Miss Mirna taught Anya and Dinda to make soup and tempeh mendoan. While Farid chose to take a broom and clean up.
After shower shampooing, morning prayers and drying Ardi's hair opened the door to his room. Fortunately Alya wears a hijab so it is easy to hide her hair and neck.
When Ardi and Alya left the room, tempe mendoan and warm tea were already present on the living room table. Former Farid and Dika tambahan watch the ball is also neat.
Even Farid was already sitting on the terrace with wet and fragrant hair. Complete wearing of his sneakers. Farid seemed to be talking to someone on the phone. Farid was ready to go on a trip.
Alya went into the kitchen, it turned out that the kitchen was also tidy. Fried tempeh, sop and sambal are presented at the table. In the bathroom there was water. Apparently one of Anya and Dinda was taking a bath.
Alya rubbed her nape feeling embarrassed. It turns out that she and her husband are having a bad time.
"Mas Ardi is really shameless huh" murmured Alya sitting on the chair.
The gurgling sound of water stopped the bathroom door handles turning. Anya with wet hair and a fresh face came out from the bathroom. His face sparkled with a frightened and gloating look at Alya. While Alya looked shyly at Anya. Then Anya approached Alya still with a towel in hand.
"l. I'm sorry, yeah. About semalem" said Anya lowered her head and felt uncomfortable already scolded Alya's husband.
"I'm sorry? What's wrong?" alya asked dumbfounded should be Alya who apologized for waking up during the day. Her friends work hard and she struggles with her husband. I thought of Alya.
"Lo's healthy and all right? Sorry last night did not help you and left you" Anya said lowered her head.
"Ehm. Um" Ardi came from the front hearing an apology from Anya. Ardi gave the code to Anya do not discuss to Alya.
Ardi was scolded by Alya
Hearing Ardi's footsteps and voice, Anya paled. As Farid Anya's advice gathers the courage to apologize. But Ardi will forget it. But instead Anya opened her mouth and apologized.
"Sir Ardi, for which I apologize last night, I hope that Ardi will not be angry anymore and forgive me" Anya said politely and lowered her head
"Glek" Ardi swallowed his saliva. Alya's eyes were already glaring towards him.
"Yes Doctor Anya. I'm sorry for speaking rudely too. Thank you" replied Ardi softly and politely. Ready to receive a scolding from his wife.
"What does this mean?" alya began to suspect. Then Anya chose the part. But when it was about to be prevented Ardi.
"When are you off until?" tanya Ardi did not answer Alya's question.
"Later in the afternoon plan back to Jakarta Kak"
"What's okay?"
"Aircraft"
"Udah pesen the ticket?"
"Not yet, this abis plan Brother" Anya replied again.
"Follow me. Ride my plane. Tell Farid" replied Ardi coldly.

"No dear. The plane is comfortable. You can sleep the same. Let's take mom if you want. This Abis we'll meet Lastri and his family to guard this house"
"Maas?" call Alya Manyun and bow.
Alya is not going to Jakarta anymore. Even though the village is quiet, far from civilization, and there are no servants. Alya felt her hometown was the most comfortable place for her.
"Hiks hyks" Alya pulled out her nurse by crying out to Ardi. Begging to be allowed to stay in Jogja for a few days.

"Mas to Jakarta. Lian stay here with mom"
"Mas can't be far from you. Let alone going without you" replied Ardi holding Lian's hand. "Go home, okay!"
"How many days is it" Lian was still trying to bargain.
From the direction of the living room, Bu Mirna came. Bur Mirna shook her head looking at the child and her daughter-in-law bargaining. There is only one subject of debate.
"Kok you guys are still here. That's what Nak Dika has come" said Ms Mirna.
"We're not going with you" replied Ardi politely.
"Yo, at least get out, it looks like they're leaving" Ms Mirna replied again.
