Happy reading ...

...****************...

Mr. Burhan is gathering tonight in the living room after dinner. The middle-aged man was worried when he heard the incident that befell his daughter-in-law. Moreover, Arka had a fight with RT Juki's son, Marko.

This time, Mr. Burhan has just given wise advice so that bad events do not happen again in the future. He looked one by one at the faces of Arka and Lela who were relaxed, inclined as if something had never happened.

However, Mr. Burhan has just caught the irregularities that exist in the couple. Arka seems to be upset, but Lela just keeps quiet and acts without sin. Uh! Was he wrong, to have married his aged son to a brightly cheerful young leaf?

"Well, where are you going? The newlyweds should have plenty of time at home, don't wander off like that. Arka, you as a husband, should be able to guide your wife. You know, Lela's too young, like a freshly sprouted leaf. So many beetles and other insects are tempted." Mr. Burhan looked at Arka who was still bowed lethargic after hearing his words.

"I'm sorry, sir, for neglecting to look after Lela. Previously I also wanted to ask permission from the father, to manage the dam incompletely," Arka said suddenly, to make Mr. Burhan and Lela look directly at him.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Burhan asked curiously, and so did Lela.

"I want to move to the city and build my own business. You know, I want to be a businessman, and I've collected more than enough money to start my small business. It also aims to keep Lela from the beautiful eyes that are here." Arka replied firmly without the slightest hesitation. Mr. Burhan and Lela immediately rounded his eyes perfectly as if they did not believe what Arka had said.

"Truly mas?" Finally Lela opened her voice to ensure the decision that Arka had made suddenly.

"My decision is already unanimous sir, and I hope you believe me." Lela expressed dislike when Arka ignored the question she asked her husband, and finally chose to remain silent.

Mr. Burhan let out a long sigh before he responded to the words of the son. The middle-aged man was actually still unwilling if left by his only child, but anyway, he had to respect Arka's decision.

"If it's your decision, you can't do anything anymore. I believe in you, and please take good care of Lela. When do you want to move?" Ask flatly. It feels like he is not tasteful to talk, if given the decision Arka who chose to move to the city.

"Alright, you believe in yourself, and please never be disappointed. Rest up! I was sleepy too."

***

In the room, Lela just sat quietly without a trace, turning her back to Arka who had laid her body on the bed. The man seemed indifferent and still acted as if nothing had happened. However, in contrast to Lela, the woman who seemed silent was on the verge of a dilemma over her husband's decision.

"Darling, why are you still sitting there?" Tanya Arka who had started to get caught off guard with his wife. Lela turned her head, then threw her face the other way again.

"What's wrong? You mad? Should have been a sprained mas from this afternoon. Say the same mas, let the mas know the problem," persuaded Arka who has now hugged Lela tightly from behind.

"Why are you suddenly moving? Why didn't you tell me Lela before? Do you think of Lela as a wife? I decided without any more communication, as if Lela's presence was useless. Did you ever consider Lela as a wife? Is Lela just a little boy in the eyes of Arka's mas?" Questions streaked out of Lela's mouth. The woman was so upset that she involuntarily dropped a clear melt from her eye patch.

Seeing that, Arka immediately turned Lela's body and cupped her face gently. He was wrong and he admitted it. He should not have made a decision without communication and permission from his wife.

"Darling, sorry. Actually, I want to give you a surprise, but considering the events of these few days, I do not want to see you bullied by others. We better move first while opening a business. Mas did this because he did not want to make Lela dizzy. Lela believes the same?" Lela looked at Arka with a sad look, and as if looking for lies within her husband's eyes.

"Lela believes me, but there's a condition." Arka scrunched her forehead not understanding. Lela doesn't usually ask for anything from him.

"Say baby!"

"Lela wants to hold the KUPER, but megang doang loh yes ...."
