I Found Love With You
16. Stay Together

The wedding reception was held a week ago. Sadiyah has cleared up her company's problems and trusted her best friends, Gita and Reza to manage the food and culinary business she had started one week before the reception.

Today is the first time Sadiyah has visited her husband's family home. Now he was resting in the room that Kagendra usually occupied.

“We stay here one day only. Tomorrow we pack up and prepare to stay in my apartment.” Kagendra said as she entered her room.

Sadiyah who was lying on the bed was aghast and immediately woke up to hear a commanding voice from Kagendra.

“Iya, A.” Sahut Sadiyah.

“Now we are down for lunch together with Aki, Abah, Mom and my sister.” Kagendra gave the order again.

“Good, A” Sadiyah immediately got up from her seat and walked following Kagendra to the living room.

“It's enough rest, Son?” ask Indriani gently.

“Already, Bu.” replied Sadiyah.

“Come, Neng. We had lunch together. The dish is ready.” take Aki Musa.

Sadiyah nodded at Aki Musa's invitation.

“Ayo Teh.” invite Alena, Kagendra's younger sister while embracing Sadiyah's shoulder.

They all walked towards the dining room.

“All his family is very kind, polite and gentle. But why well he can not be kind, polite and gentle like his family.” asked Sadiyah in his heart.

*********************

Today, Kagendra and Sadiyah are already in Kagendra's apartment. Sadiyah put 2 large suitcases of hers in the middle room.

“You can cook right?” ask Kagendra.

“God willing if you cook simple I can.” replied Sadiyah.

“Good. I have prepared various ingredients for cooking. You look in the fridge and cook anything you can cook. I hope you cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for me with a different menu every meal. You can?” ask Kagendra.

“Insya Allah, A.” can Sadiyah.

“Now you cook. I'm hungry.” Kagendra's orders.

“May I take a short break, A?” ask Sadiyah.

“Terusah.” said Kagendra ketus while passing to his room.

“Huh, basic commanding officer.” Sadiyah's grumpy.

“Eh, can not complain Yes. Sin if complaining because asked by husband.” Inner Sadiyah reminded.

Sadiyah reluctantly headed for the kitchen. He opened it and looked inside the refrigerator. There are many cooking ingredients that can be used by Sadiyah. He saw chicken, beef, shrimp, and a wide variety of vegetables. Cooking seasoning is also available in full. Ma'am Ikem, the domestic assistant at Kagendra's house who prepared it.

Luckily, Sadiyah can cook. Although at home itself rarely cook because more often eat in restaurants or order food from restaurants. In his extended family home, he rarely cook because everything has been provided by household assistants who amounted to three people but Sadiyah would learn to cook from Ita, her aunt or Mak Isah, but Sadiyah would learn to cook from Ita, especially when he knew that he was getting married, he was getting diligent to learn to cook.

Sadiyah had just finished cooking teriyaki chicken and oseng capcay. She hoped her husband would love her cooking. Not to forget, he also cooked rice using magic com. After feeling that the rice and side dishes were ready, Sadiyah went to Kagendra's room and knocked on the door.

Tok.dok…

“A, lunch is ready.” exclaimed Sadiyah in front of Kagendra's room door.

No answer from inside. Once again, Sadiyah knocked on the door rather loudly.

“A, eat...” is not finished Sadiyah finished her sentence, the room door is wide open featuring the figure of Kagendra with reddened eyes.

“Ribut once. You disturb my sleep.” snapped Kagendra.

“Sorry, A. The lunch is ready. If Aa wants to eat, I...”.

“Whispering.” snapped Kagendra cut Sadiyah's sentence.

“Astaghfirulloh, already tired of making dishes, still just snapped.” Inner Sadiyah protest.

Kagendra was about to close the door again when Sadiyah held the door handle.

“Where else are you going? Soon dzuhur time. Lunch is also available.”

“Whispering.” snapped Kagendra again.

Sadiyah stroked his chest with a fistighfar. “Basic husband durhaka. Astaghfirulloh, patience Iyah.”

“I want to wash my face first.” Kagendra said as he passed from the front of Sadiyah.

“We pray dzuhur first.” invite Kagendra after he washed his face and berwudhu in the bathroom.

“I'm in trouble, A.” Sadiyah said.

Kagendra turned back towards his room to pray dzuhur alone.

After he finished praying, Kagendra headed to the bar table to see the dishes his wife had made.

“I want to eat.” Kagendra said.

“Good A, I will prepare.” said Sadiyah while taking the plate and rice into the plate.

Kagendra sat in the bar stool in her apartment. Kagendra deliberately did not use the dining table as usual because he did not want the room in his apartment to look cramped and cramped with a dining table device.

“So here is enough?” tanya Sadiyah asked the portion of rice she was taking for Kagendra.

“Ya.” replied Kagendra briefly.

“Lauk and vegetables want me to get it too?” ask Sadiyah.

“Serah.”

“Huh, the answer is very irritable.” upset Sadiyah in her heart.

Then Sadiyah also took teriyaki and capcay chicken into Kagendra's plate.

“So here is enough?” ask Sadiyah.

“Hmmm...” Kagendra.

“Sucks.” dumel Sadiyah says.

“You swore at me?” tanya Kagendra saw Sadiyah's lips twitching but not a single word was heard.

“Gak.” replied Sadiyah upset.

“Do not curse on husband. Sins. Do you know what a sin is? I'm sure you know better.” said Kagendra.

“Ya.” replied Sadiyah

“If answer is correct. Don't just answer. Answer with complete sentences.” Kagendra explained.

“Good.” Sadiyah's reply upset Kagendra.

“Cih.” Grunts Kagendra.

“Himself also if answer casually.” protest Sadiyah in heart. Now, Sadiyah only dared to protest the behavior of her husband in her heart.

“Hmmm, quite good also the cuisine.” praise Kagendra in his heart.

They ate in a quiet atmosphere, there was no chatter between them as long as they ate.

After they finished eating, Sadiyah went to wash the dishes and the empty glasses they had eaten.

“After you finish washing the dishes, I wait for you in the living room. There are important things we should talk about.” Kagendra gave his orders again to Sadiyah.

“Good, A.” Sahut Sadiyah.

They sat facing each other in the middle room. Kagendra sat on the sofa while Sadiyah sat on the floor. Now they don't look like a newly married couple. Their sitting position is like the position of employer and subordinate.

“Listen carefully to my words.” Kagendra said.

Sadiyah nodded her head in understanding.

“As long as here, we will sleep in one room. Because I do not want if later my family comes to check the situation, we will be hassled to move rooms or find reasons why we do not sleep in one room.” explained Kagendra.

“Eh...” Sadiyah looked at Kagendra's face like she was looking at a two-headed monster.

“Not to be surprised and not to be afraid. I'll never touch you because I don't like you. So take it easy, I will not ask for my rights as a husband, but I will try to fulfill my obligations as a husband.”

“I understand.” said Sadiyah lirih. She felt hurt because she felt unappreciated as a wife.

“You must serve me outside the bedroom. You understand?” ask Kagendra

“Means?” Sadie asked back.
