Italicized Before 24 Hours
LETTERHEAD

Septian drove the car towards his house. His face looks very serial. Today, for the first time she invited Nara home after they officially got married.

Saturday morning, the streets were pretty rough. Probably because most workers and school children are on holiday. So they don't get caught in traffic.

Nara looked agitated as her car began to enter the village where Septian lived.

"Why?" Septian asked as he turned towards Nara. "Are you so nervous?"

"First time to the house of in-laws, get nervous bang. Especially I can't do anything. You think I was told to do something with your mom?"

Septian laughed at hearing it. "Extar at best you're told to brush wc."

"Well!" Nara glared at hearing that.

"Kid you dear." Septian said as he touched Nara's head. "You don't have to think macem. You know, if this son-in-law is unreliable."

"Devents." Pekik Nara who was irritated. When he is nervous like this, Septian can even keep thinking.

Septian grew stupefied at Nara's annoyance. Plus the pursed lips of a woman, making her more anxious to kiss. Unfortunately, time and place are not supportive.

Finally, they arrived. Septian immediately turned the car into his yard.

That morning, her mother's grocery store was quite crowded. Until his arrival caught the attention of the buyers.

"Bang, it's a lot of people. We should have come by later."

"Abang also did not know that this serame morning. Never helped, because Sarah's the same Shaila who helped."

The neighbors who happen to be shopping directly kasak kusuk. Even those who originally requested to be served first, now so ask for last. They were curious about the figure of Septian's wife. Understandably, they only married Septian, but never knew what his wife was like. Only a few people who come to Nara's house when Ijab kabul only know.

"That's lucky for Lastri. Dapet bini the rich. Where to get in the car. Suddenly rich Asep." Said one of the buyers.

Miss Lastri can only stroke the chest. As for Sarah, the girl looked annoyed. It's like saying Septian matre.

Their eyes automatically focused on Nara as the woman got out of the car.

"God....Asep's very clean." Praise a mother while gawking at Nara.

"Bright printer Asep nyari bini. Beautiful, rich again. Complete package."

"Mom Rosa, is this done, what do you want to add to the shopping?" Sarah asked who felt neglected because of the arrival of her brother and sister-in-law.

"Totalin was Sar. " Mother Rosa answered with her eyes still focused on Nara.

"Assalamualaik." Nara and Septian. Greet mom and the buyers in line.

"Getishalight." Sahut they compact.

Miss Lastri came out of the store to greet her son and ex. Septian and Nara immediately took turns kissing Bu Lastri's hand. Next, they shake hands with buyers who are average neighbors.

"It's pretty bini lo Sep." Said Miss Marni while shaking hands with Nara.

"Where are you like this? Cariin for Johan also napa." Celtap Bu Nia, Johan's mother who also attended the same place as Septian.

"If his widow were this beautiful, no one would refuse. Is it not Sep?" Ask Bu Wati.

"What do you mean by talking like that?" Septian did not accept the statement. His jaw immediately hardened. It seems so if his emotions start to ignite.

As for Nara, the woman just lowered her head while squeezing her husband's fingers.

"Your wife is jandakan? The news went where. What to cover. The virgin part can also be widowed not___"

"My wife is not a widow." Cut the Septian fast.

"Udah bang." Nara pulled Septian's arm while shaking her head. He doesn't want this to be extended. Let her be branded a widow.

"Nara must be tired. Get in the Sep." Said Miss Lastri.

"Yes ma'am."

"Excuse me." Pamit Nara then went inside the house.

Because the store is quite crowded, Lastri was forced to serve the buyer first with Sarah. There are still many questions from buyers who are curious about the status of Nara. But Miss Lastri and Sarah speak a thousand languages. Not answering their questions at all.

"Any shrimp coming?" Sapa Shaila just came out of the kitchen. He immediately kissed Septian's hand and Nara took turns.

"Sha makes you drink?" Tawar Shaila's.

"Not to Sha. If you're thirsty, take it for yourself." Answer Nara.

"Today, too. My sister is not a guest. It's my sister's house, too." Shaila smiled and held Nara's hand.

"Oh yes, this is a seat from my mother." Nara handed me the box with her mother's cake.

"Repot bothered very much brother."

"Don't bother, buy." Nara's voice while laughing.

Nara grabbed the paper bag that Septian had been resisting.

Shaila accepted it with pleasure. And when he opened it, his pleasure multiplied many times. Maroon red colored gamis. The latest model she's wanted for a month.

"It's so good, brother." Shaila put the robe on her body while moving left-right.

"Whose shirt is that, that's great." Sarah who just entered the guest room.

"She's Sha dong's brother." Show off Shaila with pride.

"Make me not exist?" Chirps Sarah.

"Sarah, it can't be that." Tegur Bu Lastri's. After the buyer runs out, he immediately closes his shop so he can gather with Septian and Nara.

"It's for Sarah. Make mom there too." Nara handed the paper bag to Sarah and Miss Lastri.

After saying thank you, Sarah immediately opened the paperbag to see the contents. How excited he was to see a game that was no less beautiful than Shaila's.

"Remain sure, it's expensive. The fabric is so soft, it keeps getting skinned." Said Sarah. He's never had a game that good.

Nara simply responded with a smile. While Miss Lastri, looks awkward. Septian had been eating and living in Nara's house. But Nara still gave them a lot of gifts.

"Shaila continues to cook first." Pamit Shaila's.

"So, don't help Sha." Nara Sahut.

"No, I'll take notes."

"Yes, no need. Let me and Sarah help. You rest in the same room as Septian."

"No papa ma'am, let it be sa__"

"Kemar aja brother. You've never seen your room?" Septian cut Nara's words. He didn't want Nara to push herself. Trying to help when nothing can.

The man immediately pulled Nara's hand up the stairs to her room on the second floor.

For the first time, Nara saw the Septian room. The first impression he saw was narrow, but clean and tidy. Probably because every day was cleaned by Sarah.

Septian opened the window and turned on the wall-mounted fan to make the air cooler.

Nothing stood out from the room. Just a single bed, a wooden cupboard and a study table. There is no tv or gaming equipment like the one usually in the boys' room.

"This is my brother's room. Hopefully tonight, you can sleep well, yes.even though it may be a bit hot."

"We'll see tonight." Sahut Nara while looking at some photos attached to the walls of the room.

Septian hugged Nara from behind while putting his chin on Nara's boat.

"If you can't sleep, entar malem brother makes tired so immediately restful." He kissed Nara's cheek.

"Ish, that's what you want." Nara Cibir.

"You want to too, right?" Reply to Septian and immediately greeted with laughter by Nara.

"Bag in the bathroom first yeah Ra. All for a drink, surely?"

"Hem."

Septian let go of his embrace then kissed Nara's lips at a glance.

"Ish, brother... " Siss Nara.

Septian just smiled and went straight down to the bathroom next to the kitchen.

Nara opened the wardrobe made of wood. It contained only a few clothes and shoes. Maybe because some of them have been taken to Nara's house. Feeling nothing special, Nara closed it again.

He turned to the study table. There was a photo of Septian with some of his friends while still in white ash on the table. Three men and three women. Nara took the photo and looked at it more closely. His smile broke when he realized, Septian is the most handsome among his friends.

Nara put the picture back. Then his hand moved open the drawer. The attenuation is directly fixed to a navy color box. Underneath it was a light blue envelope.

Nara opened the box. It contained a small bagbih that looked beautiful and expensive. He closed the box and put it on the table. With a slight hesitation, he grabbed the light blue envelope and looked at the contents.

His heart was racing when he found out that the envelope was a letter. His heart was filled with great curiosity. Slowly, he unfolded the paper and read the beautiful handwriting.
