"Don't mind what other people think. They have the right to determine their own way of thinking and wallow in it, even if it is wrong. But we also have the right not to care about what others think. Because between us there's only me and you, there's no them" Ravka said as she realized Alea began to lower her face, staring at the end of her shoes rubbing against the floor.
Ravka tightened her grip on Alea, giving strength through the touch of her fingers that were closely related to the fingers of the girl's hand.
Alea raised her head, twisting her neck to face right on Ravka's face who was commenting on a sincere smile for her. Alea returned her husband's smile no less sweetly. He then straightened his back, issuing confidence from within. He should not let what others think make him weak. Alea swung her legs lightly, walking parallel beside Ravka. Regardless of whether people are watching or not. Even when he was met with other mall visitors, Alea actually revealed a smile.
"You wait here well, I order food first," said Ravka approaching a chair located a little corner, inside the McD booth they were visiting.
Ravka took off her armband and pulled out a chair for Alea to occupy. However, as fast as lightning Alea grabbed Ravka's arm while shaking her head.
"I'm coming, '" said the spoiled girl.
"You don't see, that doesn't really mean it's long? Mending you sit there waiting for me" said Ravka to release Alea's hand on her arm.
"I don't want to be left alone" cried Alea as she approached Ravka until they almost stuck.
Alea still did not dare to live alone in a public place like this. His hair as if goosebumps imagining bad things back he experienced. Fear was clearly imprinted on Alea's face, making Ravka realize what made his wife did not want to be left alone. He then grabbed Alea's arm and led the girl to the booking counter.
"What do you want to eat?" ask Ravka while looking at the board containing the menu list.
"Hmmm .." Alea muttered as she tapped her fingers on her chin. "Brown Sundaes, Double Cheeseburger, french fries, the same mocca float" Alea said as she pictured the food she mentioned.
His mouth seemed to be dripping so long he did not eat his favorite menu.
"The gelatin is normal, until it does that," said Ravka while displaying a look of disgust.
Spontaneous Alea raised her hand covering her mouth which was greeted with a loud laugh from Ravka.
"Mas ... You're a prank" Alea said, elbowing her husband's chest.
"Aduh ... " cried Ravka while grimacing.
"Pretend to be sick. Don't want to fool me twice" said the girl scowled.
Ravka immediately embraces his wife while pinching the girl's nose. The behavior of Alea and Ravka like teenagers who are kasmaran makes people around him shudder at the behavior of the married couple. However, both of them do not realize that they are the center of attention.

"I used to be jealous when I looked at the children her parents brought here," Alea said on the sidelines of the fried potato chews in her mouth.
"Why envy?" Ravka looked at his wife while sipping a latte.
"They look good playing with their brothers. Whether it was their brother or sister," Alea sighed as her childhood shadow palpated from the cerebrum that had been stored in the deepest part of the world. "I used to ask Mom to give me a sister, so I have a playmate. But they have not been able to realize my wishes, they even leave me a kara. Even Uncle and Aunt who are willing to take care of me have no blood relation with me. That's why I'm not disappointed that they didn't want me. They are willing to accept me and acknowledge me as a relative only I am grateful," Alea said smiling wryly.
Ravka grabbed the girl's hand into his. He stared at the two hazel beads that looked nanar in front of him. Imagining how hard Alea was to walk the path of life that was not on her side. He even became a person who also scratched the pain in the heart of the ayu girl at the beginning of their marriage. She gently wore Alea's hand while promising in her heart, that she would pay for all the wounds she had once sustained by creating a smile that would shine a light on their day.
"Then, we must often make children in order to have many children. Let's not be lonely anymore" said Ravka with a teasing smile.
"Ish you now why be a pervert gini anyway Mas?" a pink tinge spread across the girl's face.
Although she was not too awkward when her husband touched hands all over her body, but she still felt uncomfortable when he had to talk about it openly especially in public places like today.
"If the same wife herself is not a pervert her name is dear .... But worship," Ravka swooped into Alea's nose.
Makes Alea bow down in shame. It is undeniable that she actually felt happy when her husband made out with her. It's just that he's still not used to express it clearly.
"You're excited if you're embarrassed. Make me want to immediately nerkam," seduced Ravka while mengolem smile.
"Tar is Al coming home. Tar we are maghrib here. Find a mushola around here" said Ravka who is still not ready to face the drama that will welcome him.
"Why don't we just go home anyway, Mas,"
"I still want to take you for a walk,"
"I'm tired of Mas. I want to go straight home" Alea said.
The girl's body seemed to be struggling for rest. Today is so exhausting physically and also inwardly. Looking at Alea's haggard face, Ravka finally had no reason to keep his wife from lingering outside the house.
"Jaudah ate her. After that we pray maghrib first here. Awkward to go home now. Afraid of getting bogged down even hooze," Alea simply nodded at her husband's words.
"Mas .... Why don't you just go home?" asked Alea out of curiosity that was still tickling at the heart.
"Ga anything. I ate, "Ravka replied indifferently.
"I want you, if there's anything it's the same story as me. It's not all done by itself" urged Alea who could feel something was bothering her husband.
Ravka sighed hearing Alea's words. He didn't mean to cover anything from Alea. However, he is just not used to telling what is in the heart to others. Ravka furrowed her brows thinking, before finally deciding to tell Alea what made her not immediately take her home.
"Every house that looks fine must keep its problems alone, just like my family is always in the hands of outsiders" explained Ravka while breathing heavily. "Too much drama in the house that we now live in. Mama and Aunt Erica always satirize each other. I'm sure what happened today won't go unnoticed. Aunt Erica will definitely make you months to take Mama down. I don't want to, you feel more depressed and uncomfortable being at home because of their quarrel,"
"What's the matter with Aunt Erica Mas?"
"Let's know Al, I don't know what's wrong with them. But since Aunt Erika lives at home, there has been a fight between Mama and Tantw Erica. Mama asked to move with Papa from there. But Grandpa forbade it. Grandpa even asked me to promise to never get out of the house even though I was married,"
"Aunty Erika didn't live in Grandpa's house?"
"Om Dika's family used to live in America. They came back to Indonesia when Mas Alex was going to college and I was still SMU at that time. Shortly after, Om Dika died of his illness. Since then Aunt Erika and Mas Alex have been living with us. But I could never get close to Mas Alex even though we stayed one roof. He brought his free American lifestyle here, making Grandpa often angry. Grandpa often compared me to Mas Alex in front of Aunt Erica. It seemed like it was one of the reasons Auntie Erica couldn't get along with Mama," Ravka closed the story along with the last gulp of mocca float in Alea's throat.
Alea's face was in a rang to imagine what he would face after home.
"Had eaten?" asked Ravka when she saw that all the paper dining on the table had no toilet, including plastic cups filled with ice cream and micca float. "Well, can you stop all this? how about if I want to go yah?" sindir Ravka with a faint smile.
"Ih Mas .... I have long known such rich food. I miss you,"
"Jaudah come home, we make many children. Tar if we have a lot of children, I promise you'll be the same kids eating here,"
"Based on omes' husband" Alea exclaimed with a happy smile at the thought of being able to come here with her children later.
"By me time from Omesh,"
"Ish .. who said that Omesh. Ge Er," said Alea chuckling.
They were still joking around with each other laughing as they left the McD.
