Klek, the door to the room is open again. Arya was dressed well.

"Mama and Rubby are still here?" Arya asked who saw her wife and mother still standing in front of her room.

"Mama asked Rubby why he was yelling, he said because he saw you weren't wearing a shirt." Mama Dewi laughed again.

"Ma... No need to talk about it anymore." Tukas Arya, the young man looked embarrassed.

"But this is funny, aren't you married? So isn't it natural to see each other's bodies?" Tempt the middle-aged woman again.

"Mama..." Furious Arya, Mama's a bitch. It's nice to tease her and Rubby. While Rubby just lowered his head, hiding his face that blushed because of the question of his mother-in-law.

"Yes already, yes already. We're breakfast. Your wife cooked." Bring along.

* * *

With the greedy Arya eat breakfast, can not be denied if Rubby's cuisine is so delicious and matches his taste.

"How, Arya? Your wife's cooking is good, right?" Ask Mama Dewi as soon as they finish breakfast.

"Well... That's fine." Arya answered while wiping her lips with a tissue, then grabbed the glass beside her and gulped its contents to nothing.

"Lumayan? You eat so well." Mother Goddess.

"Yes, my wife's cooking is delicious. Now Mama's satisfied?" Arya asked, staring at her mother.

"You should say good. No need to twist like that." Mama Dewi returned the flat gaze of her eldest son. Rubby looked at the two in turn.

"Alright, Ma. I don't want to argue." Arya was about to get up.

"Where are you going?" Ask Mama Dewi to make Arya sit back in her chair.

"Of course I want to work. I'm going to the coffee shop. Today is Andika's first day at work. I want to see it." The answer.

Mama Dewi turned to look at her daughter-in-law.

"Are you leaving too, Rubby?" Ask. Rubby nodded.

"Yes, Ma. Rubby's going to the cake shop." Answer Rubby.

"It's better that you're home today. You guys just got married." Said Mama Dewi staring at the child and her daughter-in-law alternately.

"Ma, I'm a lot of work. I also have to see how Andika works." Aryan Refutation.

"Arya, you're just getting married. Better spend some time together."

"Ma..." Arya did not talk to see the sharp gaze of Mama Dewi directed at her.

"Ma, but Rubby has an appointment with the consumer today." Rubby ventured to talk.

"Mama listen, right? Rubby's got an appointment." Arya.

"Rubby, but right..."

"Sorry Ma, but Rubby doesn't want to disappoint consumers by cancelling appointments suddenly." Rubby said that he felt bad.

"Huh, y'all gone." Mama Dewi said in a disappointed tone.

"Arya go first." The man got up from his seat.

"Aryan!" Mama Dewi called back.

"Otherwise, Ma?" Arya who sounded lazy.

"You're that... Did you forget you had a wife? Take your wife to the cake shop." His order.

"No need, Ma. Rubby's just riding the lot." Rubby interrupted, Mama Dewi shook her head quickly.

"No, no. Mama doesn't want Mama's daughter-in-law to ride an angkot. Let Arya drive you. It's his job as your husband anyway." His word. Of course, he would not let his son-in-law jostle in an angkot. Arya took a long breath. There was a lot of drama this morning

"I'll drive you." He said to Rubby.

" Yes, Mas." Rubby according to him.

* * *

Rubby occasionally glanced at her husband who seemed to focus on the street in front of her.

"Tomorrow Mas won't have to take me. I'll get my bike at home." Rubby said after the two were silent for a long time.

"No need, I'll take you. We're one way anyway and Mama's gonna fire me as her son if she doesn't drive you." Arya is still focused on the streets.

"But I don't want to be a hassle." Rubby actually felt bad if Arya had to drive him every day.

"Don't you just say that this is my job?" Arya asked back.

"But..."

"Alright, Rubby. I'll take you and pick you up. Let's just say I'm doing my job as a husband." Sela Arya while looking briefly at his wife.

Rubby did not answer. The girl just nodded.

"The job of a husband? But, would Mas Firaz still drive me if Mama hadn't told him to?" Ask Rubby in my heart.

After a few minutes they arrived at a large cake shop.

"This is your cake shop?" Ask Arya as soon as they arrive. There's a sign on top of that store, it says Rubby Cake's.

"Yes, Mas. Would you like to stop by first?" Rubby asked, unbending his seatbelt.

"No. I need to get to the coffee shop." Answer Arya.

"Alright, be careful on the road." Rubby put his hand out. Arya frowned, then she took the wallet out of her pants pocket. Arya took out a few pieces of money from inside her purse, Rubby looked at her in surprise with his hand still hanging in the air.

"It." Arya placed the note in the palm of his wife's hand.

"Why did Mas Firaz give me the money?" Ask Rubby wonder.

"You're asking for money, right? Wage money for you? I'm sorry I forgot, I should've given you back home." Arya asked back. Rubby gaped in disbelief to hear it. Her husband may have asked for money.

"I don't want to ask for money, Mom." Rubby put the money on the dashboard of the car.

"Then what are you asking for?" Arya's question didn't understand. Rubby looked at her husband, then grabbed his hand and kissed the back of the hand.

"I'm gonna kiss your hand, Mom." Said as soon as it was done.

"Oh..." Arya scratched her non-itchy hair. It turns out he was wrong. Rubby smiled, his hands turned to open the car door.

"Rubby." Call her.

"Yes?" Rubby looked over with the car door open.

"Here, you take." Arya hands the money back to Rubby.

"But I still have money, Mom." Resist.

"That's your money. While this is my living money, my obligation. And you have to take it."

Inevitably Rubby finally received the amount of money that is quite a lot.

"Thank you." Rubby said while keeping the money in his bag.

"Later in the afternoon I'll pick you up." Arya.

"Yes, Mas. Assalamu'alaikum." Rubby said hello.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Arya replied before leaving the place.

The girl stepped inside her cake shop.

"Welcome Mba Rubby." Welcome the three employees who have already arrived there.

"Good morning everyone." Reply Rubby with a sweet smile.

"I don't think Mba Rubby came today." Said Ria, one of the officers there.

"Yes, me too. Mba Rubby is a newlywed..." Add Ela who accompanied Rubby teasing cheers.
