The night before going to bed, Kagendra asked Sadiyah to sit next to him. The two of them sat side by side on the sofa in Sadiyah's room.
“Iyaah, Aa must immediately return to take care of Aa's job that has been neglected for almost a month. Aa think we should talk about how next we run our lives as husband and wife and also family with our children.”
Sadiyah looked at Kagendra and waited for the continuation that Kagendra would say.
“Of course Aa wants us to live together in a house. Together we educate Aras and Aris. You're ready, right? Aa hope you have truly forgiven Aa's mistakes in the past and want to jointly educate Aras, Aris and of course their sisters later.”
Sadiyah stared intently at Kagendra.
“Don't jutek like that. You become more sweet if you glare like that. Aa so add anxiety.” Kagendra cupped Sadiyah's face with both hands then briefly kissed Sadiyah's lips.
“Aa...” Sadiyah pinched Kagendra's arm.
“Aa serious, Honey. When are you going to move in with Aa? Aa will be waiting for you ready to move to our former home.”
“Aa...”.
“Hmmm..
“Can't if we don't live in the house we used to?” tanya Sadiyah hesitated.
“Why?”
“Daddy does not feel at home living in a hot place. It is comfortable to live in a cool place. If possible and if Aa allows, Iyah wants us to stay in Bandung. The kids are also starting school this year. Iyah taste, the quality of school in Bandung is good. So how about we stay in Bandung?” Sadiyah stared fixedly at Kagendra.
Kagendra took his breath heavily.
“Usaha and Aa's work is in Jakarta. Our house is also in Jakarta.” said Kagendra.
“If home, Iyah also has a home in Bandung. Iyah House will later become our home.” explained Sadiyah.
“What are the reasons why you want us to stay in Bandung?”
Feeling that he had the opportunity to express what was on his mind, Sadiyah was more and more excited to reveal various reasons so that they could stay in Bandung.
Sadiyah looked at Kagendra with her warm gaze, she also grasped both hands of Kagendra.
“Usaha and Iyah jobs are also in Bandung. Iyah plans to send Aras and Aris to school in Bandung because the education environment in Bandung is the best according to Iyah. The temperature in Bandung is also cooler and more comfortable, in Bandung is also not as dense and crowded in Jakarta. Iyah was born and raised in Bandung. But if Aa does not allow...”.
“If Aa does not allow and want if we all live in Jakarta how?” ask Kagendra.
“If Aa does not allow, Iyah will make a mistake until Aa allows.” replied Sadiyah while letting go of her hand.
Kagendra retracted Sadiyah's hand.
“Aa request payment.”
“Means?”
“Izin Aa is not free. You have to pay.”
“Iiiih what the hell. Same time wife herself install rates.”
“Aa don't want to know. You have to pay if you want to get Aa.” permission, said Kagendra.
“How much do you have?”
“This DP first.” Kagendra lips directly ambush Sadiyah's lips.
For a long time the lips of Kagendra and Sadiyah gave and received each other until Kagendra released the link of his lips.
“That just DPnya, now the repayment.”
Sadiyah nodded slowly with a face that was already blushing.
Kagendra's hands encapsulate Sadiyah's face. His lips traced every corner and area of Sadiyah's face and neck. Once again, the moon and stars bear witness to their togetherness in spending a warm night.
After performing the morning prayers, Kagendra and Sadiyah laid back and embraced.
“So how, A?” sadiyah asked with her hand stroking Kagendra's chest.
“You're flirty.” Kagendra said.
“Iiiih what the hell is.ya already if Aa does not want Iyah dear-sayang.” Sadiyah hit Kagendra's chest slowly and was about to get out of her bed.
Kagendra again pulled Sadiyah's hand back to lie on her side.
“We will stay wherever you want. If you want us to stay in Bandung, then we will stay in Bandung. For Aa, wherever we live as long as we live together, then Aa will be happy.” Kagendra hugged Sadiyah tightly.
“Aa request the bonus.”
“Haa…..Aa...tadi before dawn Iyah kasih bonus.” sul Sadiyah.
“The bonus is asking for double and all asking for a missed installment for six years.” Kagendra said while chuckling.
“Aa....”.
And they also re-sourced what had been their right until the sun came out of the dispute.

“Honey, this weekend, Fian's cousin Aa was getting married. We go there with the kids. All Aa takes Aa's things to move here. We also have to meet Aki. It's been a lot Aki contacted Aa and asked us to meet her”
“Iya, A. Iyah also already miss the same Aki. Aki will be angry not the same Iyah?”
“Anged why?” ask Kagendra wonder.
“Anged because Iyah left Aa.” said Sadiyah lirih.
“At that time, Aki was angry with Aa. You're innocent, Aa's guilty. Never mind, we have promised that we will leave the past behind and will not bring it up again.”
Sadiyah nodded her head slowly.
********
Today, Kagendra and Sadiyah and their twins are at Sadiyah's house in Bandung.
“Come, we quickly pack.” exclaim Kagendra.
“Iya, A. But don't take too much A, just take it as necessary. Here too Aa clothes have been a lot. If necessary, shop here. Yes, the same children carry clothes that are a bit common, so if at any time we play there do not need to bring a lot of goods. How?”
Kagendra nodded his head in agreement.
“Then, Aa do not need to bring anything, then buy it here. Later we also move from here.” said Kagendra.
“What does Aa mean?” ask Sadiyah in wonder.
“Aa is the leader in our household. Aa is obliged to provide clothing, boards and food for Aa's wives and children. One of the things that Aa must do as a leader is to provide a comfortable home for us to live in.”
“But this house is also our home. This is no longer the house of Iyah but also the house of the four of us.”
“Stay only, it is Aa's obligation to provide a home for us. Aa beg you to give Aa the opportunity to fulfill Aa's obligations by giving what you and the children really need.”
Sadiyah realized that if she stayed in the house she bought herself would hurt Kagendra's ego as a man, husband and father.
“Home is there?” ask Sadiyah carefully.
“Tomorrow we see our new home. If there are items that need to be purchased, you do not hesitate to make a list.”
“Aa...”.
“Hmmmm..
Sadiyah hesitated a little to say what was on her mind.
“What do you want to talk to?”
“Dad sorry same Aa.”
“Sorry for what? It should also be Aa who apologizes to you.”
“Sorry, because Aa has to stay in this city while Aa's job is in another city.” Sadiyah said lowering her head.
“Hei...honey...” Kagendra cupped Sadiyah's face and lifted her up until they stared at each other.
“Wherever you and the kids are, that's where Aa's real home is. Aa is usually busy and go round trip between cities and even abroad in the same day. The distance between Jakarta and Bandung for Aa is not far.”
Sadiyah developed a smile on her lips.
“I love you, A.” Sadiyah touched the hand of Kagendra who was still cupping her cheek. He took Kagendra's hand to his lips and then reverently kissed her.
“I love you more.” Kagendra kissed Sadiyah's forehead and head. A sense of happiness was rising in his chest. They hugged each other tightly until there was no longer any distance between them.
