"Last noon when you were in Bara's room, your handsome friend called me. He wants to meet you, wants to give you a reunion invitation he said. And sorry, I won't let you."
Naila was silent, just took a long breath and exhaled slowly. He smiled and then put his body in bed. Riko was surprised, his wife said nothing, did not comment on what he said, nor did she look angry.
"Naila, aren't you angry that I forbid you from meeting your friends?" riko asked, looking at his wife's face. Naila sat down, framed Riko's handsome face and smiled.
"No, Mas. You are my priest, God willing I will obey whatever you command and what you forbid. As long as it is good and does not violate the Shari'a of religion. Never mind, let's not think about it, we'll just go to sleep. Tomorrow morning you will also have to go to work" replied Naila.
"I feel like an evil husband, Naila. Get angry if you want to be angry." Riko felt surprised by himself who did not accept if Naila just obeyed.
"No, I'm not really angry." Naila smiled again, trying to convince her husband.
"Don't you want to know why I banned you?" ask Riko wonder.
"I don't want to know" answered Naila briefly.
"Do you know I'm jealous?" Riko again gave a question to Naila who was impressed with his words.
"Yes, I know. That's why I'm silent. Why do we talk about unimportant things like this. Anyway, why be jealous? What is an insult from a wife like me?"
Naila's question made Riko speechless. Naila's eyes dewy, making herself feel guilty.
"You shouldn't worry or be jealous about having a wife like me. The face is mediocre, the body is not tall, the skin is not white, what do I see? I should've been jealous of you, Mom!"
Naila suddenly cries, making Riko feel even more guilty. Intention just wanted to make Naila understand his feelings, instead making his wife shed tears.
"Dear, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it, I was just jealous of your friend's story. Moreover, he wants to invite you to the reunion. I don't want you to meet your friend who is like Bhishma" explained Riko.
"Mas, I want to tell you, one of the reasons I never believed in the man who proposed to me." After trying to stop her crying, Naila continued her story.
"I accidentally heard some college friends talking about me. They are very handsome and rich faces. They made me into a betting material. If anyone can make me his fiancee, he'll get the prize of a fantastic sport bike. After that, yes already! I'll just throw it away without any serious intention into the marriage after beating me."
Riko tightly hugged his wife's petite body, the more guilt took hold of his heart. It is unexpected that Naila has a sad story that she has been alone.
"You have opened the old wounds that I have been closing neatly in my heart. Your jealousy towards me is unwarranted, Mas. If Bisma is sincere about her feelings, I don't want to know. Let it be his own business. Please, Mom, don't talk about it anymore. Really, I'm sad."
"I'm sorry, honey. I really don't know your story."
Riko framed his wife's face, Naila's cheeks wet with tears. Naila tried to smile, not wanting to dissolve in the sadness of the story of the past. Riko kissed Naila's thin lips gently but passionately. Riko makes Naila lulled with her kisses and touches, making the woman she loves so passionate, that Naila forgets her grief.
Looking at Naila's face that looked very tired, Riko again felt guilty. He was too hot, even to vent jealousy in their hot game. Although Naila does not believe in friends who ever intended to play tricks on her, but she believes in sincere feelings of Bhishma to his wife.
"Look, your face, which ordinary people say, has admired you to such an extent. Especially if you're beautiful, Naila." Riko muttered to herself while stroking the wife's cheek.
"Please don't waste a wife like Naila. I even went around looking for him when his photos went viral at the time. I intend to marry her and make her beautiful and special so that the world will no longer demean her." The words of Bhishma were always ringing in his ears.
'I also want to make Naila special, I also want my wife to look charming. It's just that if Naila is constantly doing treatments at the beauty clinic, she must be a lot of tempting. Moreover, his age is still young .. ah, what am I thinking? Why did I suddenly become a selfish husband? Who am I supposed to talk to about Naila? If it was Farel, he would have laughed and teased me even more or maybe blamed me, Riko's mind was agitated.
Riko ruffled her hair violently. Even he felt that his heart had never been anything like this. Suddenly Riko remembered someone's name. He smiled because he found an answer.
'Brother Rony, I'll ask him tomorrow. Why did he suddenly change, was it true because of Naila? Yes, I will ask for an explanation and also his advice. Moreover, she must be more good at female affairs, Riko said in her heart. Finally his feelings calmed down. Riko began to sleep while hugging the tiny body of Naila.

"Darling, today's your schedule to the beauty clinic, huh?" ask Riko who just saw the agenda of his activities. Even his wife's schedule is on his record. After several bad things happened to Naila, Riko is very caring for his wife until now. All Naila's series of activities, she must know.
"Yes, Mas. If allowed, after the clinic, I would like to go shopping and buy a book for a while. There's a book I want to buy, Mom. Can, huh?" naila Pinta.
"Why don't you wait for me to come home? Or just buy online, huh?" sahut Riko who does not want Naila to go to the store himself.
"All the way, Mas. I saw yesterday that there was a bookstore near the clinic" replied Naila, which left Riko with no reason to ban her.
"I'll have Mr. Supri drive you when I get to the office."
"I'm on the bike, Mas. I want to breathe fresh air" Naila said, hugging her husband. Naila tries to persuade Riko to be allowed to go on her favorite motorcycle. Riko could only take a deep breath, unable to resist his wife's wishes.
"Alright, be careful on the road. Please go straight home," Riko replied while kissing Naila's forehead.
"Yes, Mas. Thank you, yes," Naila said happily.
Riko left and immediately met Rony in his office. Rony is shocked by Riko's sudden arrival. The two of them sat on the sofa in Rony's office. Riko who is impatient, no longer care if it is still working hours. Of course with the permission of the owner of the company who is also one of his friends. Curiosity can no longer be controlled. He wanted to get an answer immediately so that his heart was calm.
"Sorry, brother, I'm interrupting your work time for a minute."
"Tumben, Rico. Anything important? Does this have anything to do with the lawyer who took care of my divorce?" asked Rony astonished.
"No, Brother. If so, God willing, everything is safe. It's a problem ... Naila," Riko replied.
"What's wrong with Naila? Is Vella bothering him again?" Rony's getting curious. Not usually his sister visits his office, let alone discuss personal matters.
"Not .. It's not like that. I want Rony to be honest with me. What made you change? Is it true because of Naila? Didn't you want to control all my property with Vella?" Riko asked frankly to her brother.
Rony was surprised to hear Riko's sudden question. Right now Riko seemed to be intimidating with a sharp look towards her. Rony went awry, spoke honestly, afraid to make trouble, if he lied, he was not ready for the answer.
