"Mrs! Mrs Aida?" call one of the maids to him. The waiter knocks on Aida's room, but Aida herself runs out of Mei's room.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"This is a gown from Mba Mona. He said, for tonight."
"Ah, yes. Thank you." replied Aida, hugging the seemingly luxurious dress. "Oh yes. What, here's some sewing equipment?"
"Why, Madam? It's downstairs, we can get it if we want." bargained the waiter. "And, there's some more gear. Like pearls, beads, and many. I don't understand."
A coincidence, which made Aida's heart so happy. He asked the maid to take him to Mei's room.
"What do you want?" tanya Mei, when a mini sewing machine enters her room.
"May forget, what are Aida's ideals?" ask Aida, who started choosing some accessories.
"Yes, know. But....." Mei closed her mouth. Staring at Aida who started playing thread and needle in her hand."Ai want to sew this shirt?"
"Yes, modified. Must be pretty." she said. Aida who had prepared the material, then started to focus with her stitches. Mei helps, to put up some beads after Aida finishes cutting and tidying up some parts.
"Bah, done. The modifications, just an hour, are all done" Aida said proudly.
Mei also seemed so happy. That old-fashioned dress, turned out to be even more beautiful.
"Sorry, I can't buy a good one yet. I'm in the same house as Mba Mona. Honestly, I don't understand." said Aida. Mei simply nodded, smiled, then hugged Aida so tightly.
"Rest, tonight's gonna be a long time."
"Have you been in May's room all day? My gibah?"
"Seneng really, Mami we gibahin? But I'm sorry, Aida's not the gibah type." said Aida.
Mami Bianca pouted, glaring at Aida's resistance to her.
"You're Siri's wife, don't be a powerhouse here. I'm still the big madam here." he said.
"Whatever. Aida mah time bodo equal power house. For Aida, the most important thing was Mas Rayan. Mas Rayan is Aida's husband. So, Aida has to serve her as best she can. From Mami's gibahin, mending Aida bobok. Because what?" looks flirtatious. He approached Mami Bianca and whispered in her ear.
" A-because what? "asked Mami Bian, looking nervous.
" Because, Mas Rayan likes to wake up Aida in the middle of the mallem." whispered."You know for sure, her name is a newlywed. Very fond, if fitting she stroked gently, her gaze, her voice that...."
"Aaaaarrrgh! Stopit! Stop, Aida." said Mami Bianca, covering her ears from all Aida's words. "Expiring, you!"
Aida just hung up her shoulders, then walked into her room. The door closed tightly, deliberately not locking it. She laid her body on the bed, closing her eyes as she waited for her husband to come home.

"Excession! You can talk like that with me. And Rayan? Aarghs! Rayan has it really gone that far with his wife? They just married Siri. And he said, because he had to. Nah! It must have been Aida who teased him first."
Mami Bian overthinking. Imagining the no-no against Rayan. For him, his son is innocent and does not care too much about women. He does not know, if as stupid as any man, will not survive with his adult instincts. Moreover, they are legitimate as husband and wife all this time..
