Arsyad did not want to meet Anggun, let alone this first day Via was at his house. But Arshad also felt he had to take responsibility for Anggun and their future children, because after all, now Anggun also his wife.
"Darling...." Arsyad approached Aira who was currently cooking for dinner with Via.
"Abi, surely Abi was hungry because he smelled the aroma of Ummi cuisine is very good, Via also became hungry, when it was full," said Via who made Aira and Arsyad laugh.
"Yes, Abi is always hungry with Ummi cuisine, but...." Arsyad glanced at Aira. "Darling, tonight I don't think I'm going to eat at home. Maybe I'll be home late, you go to bed first, yeah. Don't wait for me." Arsyad said in a low voice, it was very heavy of his heart to leave Aira for Anggun, but this was Arshad's duty.
"Yes, Mas. It's okay, as long as you have dinner on time, yes," replied Aira who made Arsyad's heart as if in crumbs. So much love and attention that Aira gives, but Arsyad actually reciprocates with various lies.
"Yes," said Arsyad, Aira drew her cheek closer to Arsyad thinking Arsyad would kiss her there but Arsyad cupped her cheek and kissed her forehead long enough, makes Aira's heart vibrate because usually Arsyad only kisses the cheek or temple.
"I go first" he said with a heavy heart and Aira could only nod.
Aira also continued her cooking show with the help of Via, making Aira very happy.
But soon her mother-in-law comes and tells her she won't be home either because she was invited to the event by her friend. Aira did not ask which friend or what event, she only invited her mother and did not forget to ask her carefully on the road.
"Because no one eats at home, Ummi think we cook a little, Via want to eat what?" Ask Aira on Via.
"Anything, Ummi," replied Via timidly.
"Don't be shy, honey. Now Via' is Ummi's son, so if Via wants something, just ask for Ummi, Abi or Grandma. We're all now the Via family."
"May I ask you something, Ummi?" Via and Aira asked a nod that instantly made Via's eyes sparkle. "Via wants to eat grilled chicken, Ummi. As Ummi once brought to the orphanage," said Via spirit.
"Oh, that grilled chicken Ummi brought in the restaurant."
"Can we eat at the restaurant?" Ask Via.
"We'll order, the food will be delivered here."
"Well, fun...." Via jumped while clapping.
"Then we don't cook tonight. While waiting for the food to come, we learn njai, Yuk! Ummi see Via hasn't been well done."
"Okay, Ummi. Via will be more active in learning his salary, let Ummi and happy."

"I thought my mom would be home tonight because she had been at Anggun's house all day" Arsyad said as he got out of his car, now he and Umm Ridha had reached Anggun's house.
An elite housing only in the habitation of the rich.
Gracefully stunned, his heart was as sliced but he still tried to display a smile as if nothing.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it" said Arsyad.
"It's okay, Mom. You must be surprised I immediately hugged it, because I miss you so much," said Anggun. He took Arshad's hand and brought him in.
"Because tonight you want to stay here, I've cooked your favorite food, beef gulai," said Anggun enthusiastically. Arsyad only responded with a bland smile.
"Syad, you're finally home too" exclaimed Mr. Ardi who is Arsyad's father-in-law.
"Yes" answered Arsyad.
pak Ardi and Bu Husna greeted Arsyad and Umm Ridha warmly, they all started chattering while enjoying dinner, while Arsyad just silently ignored them all. In fact, cow gulai which is one of his favorite foods is not enough to make him tasteful.
"Do you not like it?" Anggun Tanya who saw Arsyad only ate a little.
"I am full" answered Arsyad, then he got out of his chair. "I went to the room first, excuse me." when Arsyad went to his room, Anggun followed him immediately.
And arriving in the room, Anggun immediately hugged Arsyad from behind. "Mas, please, give me a little more time, I need you," whine Gracefully.
Arsyad released the hand of Graceful that was coiled in his stomach. "I'll do it" replied Arsyad. "And now I'm very tired, I want to sleep," said Arsyad who made the look of Anggun immediately looked sad.
"We haven't been together like this for a long time, and now you... Wanna sleep?" Ask Gracefully. "Okay, let's go to bed, I'm tired too" Anggun said then he pulled Arsyad into the bed.
Arshad and Anggun slept side by side, and Anggun told him about the future of his dreams with his son, Arshad just listened in silence, until slowly the voice of Anggun stopped, when Arsyad turned his head, Anggun was asleep.
Arsyad glanced at the clock and he was surprised that the clock had shown at 11 p.m. Which means, he daydreamed for a very long time and Arsyad was not aware of it.
Arsyad tried to sleep but could not, he immediately got out of bed, took his car keys and just left there.
Arsyad knew, Anggun has the same rights as Aira, for his time and attention.
But Arsyad controls himself, because of his love for Aira who is in control.
