As Felix said. The next day they returned to Jakata. More precisely Felix returned to Jakarta, while Jova was clear this was the first time he would set foot in the capital, Jakarta, the famous Metropolitan city with the most populous city in the world ranks 29th.
Even to imagine what Jakarta was like, Jova did not dare. Yang Jova knows Jakarta is famous for tall buildings, he also knows from television and mobile phones, the internet which contains many articles with cities in Jakarta and surrounding areas.
Because today has to travel quite a long time. In the morning Jova slipped back into her room and sat by the window waiting for the dawn prayer to do the duty by listening to the melodious sound of chicken cocktails.
"It looks like I will miss the atmosphere like this, in Jakarta later I will not listen to the sound of cockroaches and adzan from the manau as it is today. Jova kept staring at the morning beauty from behind her window. After she looked towards the bed, where on the bed there was her husband who was still asleep in his sleep. Still making a beautiful dream.
Actually Jova is still sleepy even more so last night she can not sleep because imagine her fate later in Jakarta. Almost two hours Jova was just sitting in a worn-out chair staring out of her bedroom window, until the dark atmosphere gradually changed into a bright morning.
Back in her eyes, Jova looked at Felix, who started to squirm, and it was a sign that the man would wake up. Jova will usually help her mother prepare breakfast and some houses, but because since then Jova felt that there were still many neighbors who helped (Rewang) so that the woman chose to remain silent in her room.
The woman whom Felix had just married here chose to remain silent in her room daydreaming. Uh, not daydreaming, but rather preparing to strengthen his mentality later in Jakarta. Wander, maybe more like that. Many people say when migrating must have a mental steel.
"What are you doing there?" The heavy and hoarse voice managed to shock Jova.
"You wake you up to get ready to take a shower, not today we will go to Jakarta," replied Jova in a small tone of voice, so that no one hears their high speech, surely later if anyone hears from the outside as a neighbor gossip material.pity his parents, because of course the thoughts are his parents and his sister.
"Six o'clock and the better you take a shower the sooner you take a shower it's a sign we'll be the sooner I get out of my parents' house, isn't that what you want." Jova knew that Felix would definitely not refuse if Jova said so.
Surely without protest now Felix went straight outside by grabbing a towel and clothes, while Jova chose to tidy up her clothes that are still good enough to wear, he said, in addition, later he will also work so that Jova only brings clothes that are still quite appropriate to wear work. Do not have to wait long Jova clean up her clothes and belongings anyway Jova also not much stuff.
At seven o'clock, Jova and Felix had started to go outside the room, not infrequently a lot of who was mocked especially when Felix just woke up and took a bath shampooing, wet hair. Neighboring mothers who saw it were noisy and looked at each other at Jova and Felix.
Although Jova does not understand what they mean, but Jova knows that they are mocking her and her new husband.
"Where are you going, Jo, Fel?" janu asked when she saw her daughter outside the room carrying a large enough tote bag containing her clothes.
"Jova's with me from now on, sir, and Jova's already Felix's wife, so even Felix's going to Jova will come with me." Felik clasped Jova's hand firmly, anyone who saw him would think that Felix really loved Jova. But clearly not with Jova he instead cursed Felix from inside his heart who was chatting.
"Crazy, this man can really lie, his acting is very good, lest he is an actor so his winter acting," said Jova in his bath, it feels like Jova herself can not lift her face, sad and also afraid of how her life will be in Jakarta, especially Felix is very scary, changing. Jova to the point of having bad thoughts like people in the news who have bad luck can be a bad husband, some are beaten until hospital admission, rodi work as a maid, and others, in fact, there are those who rise because of domestic violence, and there are even more whose limbs are cut into pieces. Jova herself to shudder in horror with what she said herself, ih serem.
Janu noticed his daughter who was looking down. "Jo, are you sure, and ready to go with your husband?" jane asked with a heavy voice. It is undeniable that Janu also feels heavy and guilty when his son will follow his new husband, which Janu himself knows that Jova is unhappy with his marriage.
Slowly Jova raised her face, and gave her best smile. "Jova was sure well, after all Jova was convinced and believed Mas Felix was a good and responsible person, so I don't worry that everything will be fine." Well, Jova also had to change her call with Mas frills on Felix in front of his family.
"Then I can't forbid it, because you're married, and my father's responsibility now falls on Felix. I can only pray that your household will last, and you are the true soul mate that God has characterized, and can face various problems in the household." Janu now turns to look at Felix, his daughter-in-law, whose hand had been holding Jova's hand, but did not know with the battery.
"Amen."
"We have breakfast first." Janu accidentally asks his new son and son-in-law to sit at the dinner table, which he wants to tell Felix, as a male parent who wants to give his daughter to a man who bears her husband. Janu cannot expect too much from Felix, but Janu hopes Felix will have a little heart so as not to be rude to his daughter.
Felix glanced at the simple dining table. "We'll eat on the street, Dad" Felix gently refused.
"So soon I have something to talk about too, just for a second." In a voice pleading with Janu to force Felix to obey his will. Lasmi herself from the kitchen could only be silent. Well, the mother of two children was indeed more silent since yesterday, somehow his feelings were from the beginning not so agree with this matchmaking plan, but again circumstances can not do anything. He had to give up his daughter to pay their debts.
Felix and Jova finally follow Janu's will. Jova serves her husband to take rice along with vegetable chickpeas and tempeh and one piece of soy sauce chicken, in the Jova family home food with a menu like that is already very luxurious.
"I'm sorry you had to have breakfast with us. I just want to talk." Janu was silent for a moment, sighing to reduce the tightness in his chest. "Dad tipped Jova, we know you married Jova because of matchmaking, your real feelings, we don't know, but I just want you to treat her like a fellow living being. If you do not love him, please do not make him suffer, do not hurt from his physical or mental. If you feel you can no longer live with your child, please return Jova to us, with open arms we will accept Jova." Janu looked at Felix with a pleading gaze.
"Dad just calm down, I'll try to be a good husband to Jova." Felix looked at Jova deeply, Jova herself did the same thing even though Jova did not know what the gaze meant, but Jova had high hopes that Felix would keep what he said earlier. Yes, at least do not commit domestic violence that Jova asks continuously with the Creator.
Janu and Lasmi feel a little relief because of Felix's promise to his daughter.
After breakfast Janu and Lasmi have given Wejangan to Jova and Felix. Now Jova and Felix are really apart. Jini herself had sobbed in her tears. The teenage girl could not help but feel sad when she had to part with her only brother.
There is no word from Jini for her sister other than prayers and promises that Jova will always be fine.
"Jova, you will obey your husband well, learn to be a good wife and obey your husband. Because the wife's paradise is in her husband. So obey and serve your husband sincerely. I know you don't love each other, but I hope someday you will know what a beautiful marriage is, and can sacrifice each other to reach His heaven.
Jova could only reply with a nod of the head, and a faint sob. Not to forget Janu also again and again leave it to Felix. This is the first farewell between them so it feels hard for Janu and his family, as well as for Jova.
The blue farewell made Jova even more unable to stem her tears. Well, he will start fighting, fighting in his life to come.
"This is the real life that will begin" muttered Jova, holding her left chest as tight as she felt.
"I'm putting this life's journey to you Rob."
