A car stopped in front of Kanaya who was still standing at the bus stop waiting for the rain to subside. Soon a girl got out of the car with an umbrella, protecting her head and body from getting wet, the girl was Davina Steffany Lee, commonly called Steffy by Kanaya.
"Hi Kak" said Steffany with a smile. The girl approached Kanaya.
"Steffy!! Oh, my God, you're a big miss with you."
Kanaya hugged Steffany tightly and Steffany returned her brother-in-law's embrace was no less tight. Those who have long been separated by the distance between Indonesia and Australia now miss each other.
"Why don't you know if you want to go back to Indonesia? Brother can pick you up at the airport," Kanaya said after taking off her arms.
"Because I want to suprise-in big brother, so I'm just diem-diem."
"Aaa .. so sweet is kamuuu...." Kanaya pinched both of Steffany's slightly chubby cheeks.
"Yes dong, I'm the sister-in-law of her only brother, the time is not sweet," Steffany said.
"Sir, we continue to chat in the car yuk, the rain is getting faster" proposed Steffany.
"OK," said Kanaya. Steffany grabbed her arm and took her into her SUV.
"You changed cars again?" kanaya asks when she realizes that her sister-in-law's car is new.
"Hehehe, yes brother. The car I sold and the money I donated. I keep buying this car, because I think this car really fits my image" Steffany answered honestly.
Kanaya also made her comments. "Good, according to my sister, you are better suited to use this car than using the previous sports car."
"That's not me, who feels that way?"
Kanaya nodded with a smile.
"Would you stop by the cafe first or go straight home?"
"Go home, Steffy. You know, you haven't cooked yet" replied Kanaya.
"OK, but next time you want to go to the cafe with me?"
"Yes, later we go to the cafe together .. How about the day after tomorrow? It's Sunday afternoon" said Kanaya.
"But Sunday I have activities in the church, you can't do it, brother."
"Oh yeah, sorry brother Steffy, brother forgot."
"No problem brother, how about tomorrow? Saturday is busy, right?" ask Steffany.
Kanaya keeps her schedule in mind but she forgets so she can't answer Steffany's questions directly.
"Later sister see again the schedule yes, if you are not busy brother will tell you."
"Okay, I hope you have some free time," Steffany said expectantly.
"Hopefully there is" said Kanaya.

Kanaya enters her house, followed by Steffany, who follows her behind. "Assalamualaikum, my dear." Kanaya approached Lee, who was sitting on the sofa and grabbed her husband's hand and kissed the back of his hand.
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
"Who are you wearing?" lee asked as he saw an oversize leather jacket draped over his wife's shoulder.
"Th-this, this...."
Kanaya was confused as to how to answer him. It was fortunate that Steffany was sensitive and immediately saved her brother-in-law by taking her jacket. "This is my jacket, Oppa. I lent it to Brother Naya because she complained of cold, didn't I?"
"I-iya, right," said Kanaya, looking down, feeling guilty for lying to her husband.
Lee looked at Kanaya and Steffany with a suspicious look, the man could not believe that the jacket that had been draped on Kanaya's tiny shoulder belonged to Steffany, because he knew very well that his sister did not like the masculine perfume that was smelled from the oversize leather jacket earlier.
"You don't lie, Steffy. Don't think Naya is your favorite sister-in-law, you can defend her" Lee said.
To convince her sister Steffany to wear a leather jacket that she herself did not know who it belonged to. Although the smell of the perfume coming out of the leather jacket made her slightly nauseous, Steffany tried to hold her back in order for Lee to believe her.
"Oppa see for yourself, this is my jacket, lately I really like this kind of oversize leather jacket, and this includes my collection."
Lee looked at Steffany's face while raising one eyebrow as if doubting her sister's confession. "Ooh so .. okay, Oppa believes that your fashion sense can change as drastically as that. But Oppa does not believe that your perfume taste can also change, Steffy," Lee said as he occasionally glanced at Kanaya who did not dare to look at her face.
"Oppa believes in you .. Now go home there, Oppa wants to be alone with this beautiful Oppa wife." Lee drove Steffany away while embracing Kanaya's waist and gently kissed her forehead.
"Ish, Oppa is so evil, it makes me jealous!" grumbled Steffany who then came out of Lee's house while prying.
"Either find a boyfriend let's not be envious!" yelled Lee who was replied by a sneer by his sister.
After Steffany left the atmosphere of the house again tense, the sharp look of Lee's eyes made Kanaya tired, she knew her husband would not believe it just like that.
Kanaya's feet stepped back as Lee drew closer to her. "Why are you lying to me, Nay?" lee asked as he continued walking forward towards Kanaya who looked very nervous.
"I'm not lying, Mom."
Lee shook his head while smiling sideways. "No! You're lying, I know exactly what your moves are if you're lying again," he said.
"Now, who do you think that jacket is and why do you wear it?"
Kanaya shook her head, unwilling to answer Lee's question because she knew her husband would threaten any man who tried to be best friends with her.
"Who's Naya?!" lee snapped which made Kanaya gasp in shock.
"Nobody Mas, that jacket does have Steffany."
The patience in Lee's heart eroded even more when he smelled the aroma of cigarettes from Kanaya's shoulder. The flames of anger in his chest were ignited, Lee clenched Kanaya's body against the wall and encapsulated Kanaya's pretty face with her sturdy fingers.
As Kanaya's eyes clashed with his, Lee felt a sense of fear in his wife. Lee took a deep breath, trying to temper his anger so that Kanaya would not be afraid to look at him again.
"Naya, I'm your husband, don't cover anything from me, just tell me the truth."
"Before I tell you, I'll ask you a question, do you believe me?"
Lee nodded his head. "Mas trusts you," he replied gently.
"Okay, so that jacket belonged to Nathan, my pitying college friend who was writhing I was cold at the bus stop. I was resisting when he gave me the jacket, but he forced it and put it on my shoulder."
Lee listened to Kanaya's explanation while diving into his wife's clear eyes. Now there is no more lying from Kanaya so that Lee can believe it.
"Did this cigarette smell come from that jacket?" lee asked as he sniffed Kanaya's shoulder.
Kanaya's cheeks flushed red as Lee's pointed nose touched her shoulder which was still covered in long clothes.
"My answer is Naya" whispered Lee softly, making Kanaya's body stiffen. The girl bit her lip and pulled Lee's face away from her shoulder. "I-I don't know, Mom," she answered nervously.
Lee's lips curled upwards, forming a boxy smile that always fascinated Kanaya.
"You're adorable, next time don't lie anymore, yeah."
Kanaya nodded her head obediently.
"I wouldn't be angry if you were honest even though being honest sometimes hurts," Lee said, stroking Kanaya's slightly chubby cheek.
Kanaya ventured to wrap her arms around Lee's sturdy neck which was much taller than her.
"Gumawo, Oppa," he said in a cute voice that made Lee anxious. He lifted Kanaya's tiny body spontaneously, leaving his wife suffocated in shock.
Not until there Lee also twirled his body, making Kanaya laugh at once dizzy.
"Mas, stop, stop! Get off me now," asked Kanaya while strengthening her arm around Lee's neck.
"No way," Lee refused Kanaya's request and carried her into the room.
