“Looks like I'm going to stay in college, I'll do it with effort,” Annisa said.

“Usaha? What can you do?,” asked Zain a little cynical smile.

“I won't ask you for money,” replied Annisa.

“Alright, but do not forget also your duty as a wife,” Zain back focus driving.

Annisa did not answer.

Actually, Annisa herself is still confused as to what kind of business she will go through, because she is not experienced enough.

Arriving home, Annisa returns to her room, as does Zain.

Annisa opens her phone and searches the internet, figuring out which business fits her.

Not feeling Annisa had spent a lot of time with her cellphone until the adzan magrib, Annisa took ablution and immediately performed the magrib prayer, not forgetting Annisa continued with the al-Quran tadarus.

When she finished, Annisa rushed downstairs to prepare dinner.

“Where did you learn?,” suddenly Zain asked Annisa.

Zain sat in the kitchen and listened to Annisa Tadarus of the Quran.

“In my village, why Brother Zain? Still something wrong huh?,” Annisa take the ingredients for cooking.

“No, I just asked, the cooking should be fast yes, I am very hungry,” Zain go leave Annisa.

Annisa is busy cooking for dinner, this time she cooks scrambled eggs and vegetables, as Zain asks her to cook fast.

While cooking, Annisa saw an oven that was still intact and good she had never used, thinking of selling cupcakes on her campus. If the problem of making cupcake Annisa is very good, because Ambu often teaches Annisa to cook.

Before long, the food was ready, Annisa brought and served her food on the dining table. The smell of food was very fragrant, making Zain very hungry. Zain had thought the food made by Annisapun must be delicious, because all this time he was always satisfied with what was cooked by Annisa.

“If in terms of cooking, I believe you are smart, usually villagers like you are always equipped with expertise in cooking by her mother, so that her husband feels at home,”, Zain said sneering.

Annisa smiles.

“Betul, villagers like me are very rare and valuable, good at cooking, good at self-care, never touched by any man, especially like your ex,” Annisa replied to Zain's scorn.

Zain turned his face.

“I don't want to discuss him,” said Zain annoyed.

“Good sir, now please eat the dish, it will definitely make your mood back good,” said Annisa while giving a plate to Zain.

Without further ado Zain took the plate, poured the fragrant rice and cooking on the plate.

Zain read the prayer and immediately devoured his food.

“I guessed it, it's so delicious,” Zain said.

“Alhamdulillah if Kak Zain likes,” said Annisa.

After finishing eating Zain drink water that Annisa has provided.

“Thank you Annisa, this is so delicious,” is the first time Zain said that to Annisa.

“Sama-sama Brother Zain,” said Annisa standing from her seat.

“Starting today you call me, Mas Zain,” said Zain.

Annisa was surprised, she chuckled.

“Mas Zain? Hihi,” Annisa covered her mouth with both hands.

“Why laugh?,” Zain stared at Annisa.

“No, only I am a little amused to hear it let alone say it,” Annisa back to clean up the dirty dishes to bring to the kitchen.

“Choose it, you want to call me Mas Zain, or call me dear,” Zain continued to stare at Annisa.

Annisa this time really laughed at Zain's words.

“I'm sorry, shouldn't I laugh like that,” Annisa lowered her head.

“It's okay, I like to see you laugh, more beautiful compared to keep putting on a stiff face,” said Zain still staring at his wife.

Annisa looked at Zain, she again lowered her gaze in shock from the moment her husband kept looking at her face.

“I call Mas Zain only,” said Annisa went by with a dirty dish to wash.

Zain smiled.

“Actually she is very beautiful and talented, but this heart is not yet fully for her,” Zain murmured inwardly.

After dawn prayers Annisa prepares to go to the market, buying ingredients to sell cupcakes.

“Where are you?,” asked Zain who just came out of his room.

“Oh yes, Mr. Zain I say I want to go to the market first to buy ingredients, InsyaAllah today I will sell,” said Annisa.

“Eh, Mas Zain,” Further Annisa.

Zain smiled and nodded.

Actually Zain also felt amused to hear Annisa calling him “Mas”.

Annisa went out in her little car.

In the market he chose a variety of materials that he needed.

It just so happens that today Annisa's college schedule is noon, so she can be more free to prepare for it.

Annisa has returned home with a lot of crackles.

Annisa took them out one by one, until Zain came to help bring her crackle from the car.

“No need Mas, I can be alone,” Annisa said.

“Nothing,” Zain continues to help Annisa.

“Alhamdulillah done well, thank you Mas Zain has helped,” said Annisa.

Zain nodded and returned to his room.

Until the cake dough is ready to be put in the oven. Annisa waited for him for 15 minutes.

Once ripe, Annisa begins to decorate the top of the cake with white and pink cake cream.

Now the cake has been put in a container and ready to be sold.

“Bikin what?,” Zain approaching Annisa.

“Cupcake, Would you like to try?,” asked Annisa.

Zain looked at Annisa's cupcake, he gulped.

“It looks good,” murmured Zain in heart.

“No, definitely not good,” said Zain.

Annisa smiled, knowing that Zain wanted a cupcake.

Zain went to his room.

“I keep the cupcake yes on the plate, do not forget to eat,” Annisa a little scream.

Annisa prepares 4 pieces of cupcake on a plate.

Zain ignored him and went into the room.

Annisa is getting ready to go to college.

The wall clock is eight o'clock, although Annisa is in college at ten, she decides to leave early, as she will be selling.

At the Annisa campus offered every student who was sitting in the park, initially Annisa approached one by one student but over time Annisa who was approached by other students to buy her cupcakes.

“Enak yes, I want another message for tomorrow,” said one of the students.

“Iya. I'd like a message tomorrow.”, too

Annisa in the flood of many orders, she felt very happy.

At about half-ten, Annisa's merchandise was gone.

Annisa's resting in the cafeteria, she's buying a drink.

“Alhamdulillah, today all my trading is exhausted,” Annisa murmured in heart.

Annisa rushes to her class, she passes by the lecturer's room, and she accidentally sees her husband sitting in his chair. Zain opened the stock in the misting.

Annisa wondered what her husband was carrying. She still stood watching her husband.

It looks like Zain brought 4 cupcakes and ate them voraciously.

Annisa gave a small smile, she was glad Zain ate the cupcake he provided.

“Pak Zain, there is your wife outside,” said one of the lecturers.

Annisa was surprised that someone noticed her, she hid behind the door.

Zain walked out toward Annisa.

“Why hide?,” Zain surprises Annisa.

“No, hehe earlier I,” Annisa did not continue speaking.

“Thank you yes, the cupcake is very good,” Zain smiled and held Annisa's hand.

Annisa glared at her hands, her heart racing. I don't know why Annisa is now immobile, frozen and mute.

Zain immediately threw out Annisa's hand.

“Sorry, I'm too happy with your homemade food,” Zain said.

“It's okay, I go to class first yes,” said Annisa went to her class.

Zain continued to watch Annisa walk.

“Annisa!,” call Raihan.

Annisa looked towards Raihan.

“This afternoon, you have no event?,” suddenly Raihan asked that.

“No,” Annisa Down.

Zain hurriedly approached Annisa.

“There!,” Zain gazing towards Raihan.

Annisa surprised.

“I told you, don't disturb my wife,” Zain said.

The students around noticed Zain and Raihan.

“I do not interfere, I just asked the lecturer,” Raihan smiled cynically.

“I don't allow you to ask my wife!,” Zain is really angry.

“Why? You should know, before marrying the Father, Annisa loved me,” Raihan brought her body closer to Zain.

“No, Annisa never loved you!,” Zain also brought her body closer to Raihan.

All the students had already formed a circle, clustered and noticed Zain and Raihan. Annisa just fell silent she was confused as to what to do.

Zain and Raihan stared at each other intently.

Until finally Raihan's punch leads to Zain's chest.

Annisa was surprised, she tried to block the quarrel.
