Chandra looked at him, looking at the tiny face with eyes drowsiness but the smile on his lips never faded, still drawn even so thin.
"Vidi .. don't go."
Nadia closed her eyes uncomfortably, as the name of another man she called in a pitiful and pleading tone. Chandra loosened his embrace, and the man's thin smile disappeared as if it had never happened.

Still early in the morning, even a speck of sun had yet to appear on the vast surface of the sky. There is still half the appearance of the moon that can be seen from the window of Chandra's room.
That day, Nadia tried to wake up early by installing an alarm on her phone, but she was still defeated by Chandra who was not in bed.
"Ck, what time did he wake up, anyway? Hm ... must yes asked what time you wake up?" muttered Nadia unwell, the time showed at half-five in the morning. Nadia lay back on the bed still sleepy.
Suddenly Nadia gave a small smile, remembering the incident last night where Chandra hugged her body tightly and gave a sedating word that she never got from anyone else.
Nadia decided to go down to the 1st floor of the house owned by her husband's family to pick up her suitcase, rather than sitting quietly in the room should Nadia tidied up her belongings and showed that she could wake up early, he said, not like a lazy person who will wake up during the day.
"Wake up, Neng?"
Nadia was surprised when she found her grandmother in the kitchen, the girl smiled slightly at the grandmother and approached Merry's grandmother wearing her face.
"Yes, Grandma. Just grab a suitcase. What's the granny doing?"
"Grandmother again boiled herbal medicine. Ordinary, if it is this age, should not be off guard with drugs. Neng, would you?"
Grandma invited Nadia to sit in the dining room chair, it looked like two different people of age were quite familiar even though not a month knew each other.
"No, Grandma. Nadia's gonna make some juice."
"From your husband, huh?" asked grandma with a smile.
Nadia giggled, like grandmother could guess Nadia's question that was still stored in the head. "Yes, Grandma. Where's he going, anyway?"
"Then to the mosque greet his father. Continue, RT sir tell the people, last night.if you want to do some filial work for the complex park. Yesterday, Chandra didn't say?"
"Oh, yes, Grandma. I think Nadia fell asleep. Chandra never said."
"Ckck, the boy, but do not have to join the service. He's a newlywed, he should take you for a walk or a vacation" complained the grandmother who worried about the flat attitude of the grandson to his wife.
Nadia laughed a little, but in her heart Nadia actually felt more and more unpleasant. Last night, Nadia actually told me things about herself without being curious about Chandra's original attitude. Naturally, Nadia was a little about her husband so that they could be balanced and understand each other.

Breakfast in the big house was special with the presence of one new member in the house. Nadia and Joy are like sisters who fit in when in the kitchen, Nadia makes fresh juice from avocados and oranges, while Joy serves a ham sandwich rich in protein and carbohydrates. While the father and mother enjoyed each meal made it quietly.
"Eating a lot, a lot of energy to eat, Chandra." Mom serves up a stack of empty plates belonging to Nadia, while dad smiles while shaking his head.
"Chandra's, where are you, huh? How come you're not going home the same, Dad?" asked Nadia to vent.
Dad took his breath. "That's her. Chandra does not want to be disturbed, he said he does not know when he can join the service again kayak now. He's still in the park, help dig a ditch" Dad explained to Nadia.
Nadia closed her mouth, to be honest Nadia was surprised by Chandra who was crazy in her leaving days like this.
"Silver, too much. Ma'am, Dad, it's weird that I'm with him, having a personal problem what the hell is a holiday," Joy complained while grumbling.
"Hust, it can't be your sister. Maybe he was late at home, usually in the woods. Chasing **** forest passing through the border," said the grandmother jokingly. Nadia could only smile when she heard the granny talk about her husband.
"Yes already. You have breakfast now, Nad. You'll try Chandra's samperin."
Nadia nodded at the father's suggestion to meet Chandra after breakfast, although Nadia still did not dare to come out of the complex. Because, Nadia believes her presence as an artist will certainly cause the speech of people who are not expected. Rumors will surely appear.
'Hot gossip today, Nadia Adriana disappeared one month, immediately held a marriage with a procession of swords, Vidi increasingly vulnerable.'
Beep it!
Joy turned off the television immediately when a gossip show aired a news that did not deserve to be heard by the rest of the house.
"In the morning, talk about people! The basis of the TV show on has no brain or how the hell," grumbled Joy slowly, Nadia who was there did not bother at all the anxiety felt by Joy. Because, since plunging into the entertainment world, Nadia has never watched television or opened news about celebrities on the internet. There must always be a name called the no-no.
Especially now, Nadia may feel traumatized if watching or reading television news or the internet. Almost all platforms mentioned her name, or even called Nadia an impatient traitor because she immediately moved on and married after Vidi was caught by the police. Many speculations are circulating that Nadia actually only make her TNI husband as an escape, because it is impossible in one month failed to marry Nadia get a new heart patch, and unfortunately, the new, the speculation is very true.
His eyes were slightly faint, and there were dark circles under his eyes. After the dawn prayer in the mosque, Chandra actually immediately did the filial work and has not come home until now, where the time has shown at 8 am. Indeed, it is not because Chandra cannot stay at home and wants to continue to be productive. But Chandra is trying to neutralize his own thoughts in this desolate place.
Where no Nadia was delirious last night by mentioning the name of her ex-boyfriend. Chandra knows Vidi well, not because of the information she's looking for herself, but Chandra knows Vidi from her grandmother and Joy. Moreover, overnight events may not be able to get rid of Chandra easily in a matter of days.
It would be a little strange if Chandra faced Nadia when she woke up earlier. Oh, why is Chandra suddenly stupid and caring about her own feelings? Until it keeps its eyes open from midnight until this morning?!
"Quiet down! Officers can't do this! Must be neutral." Chandra remembers to himself. Because cool daydreaming, the man did not even realize that since then there has been a pack of RT and Nadia who talked in the garden gazebo located not far from where Chandra rest.
"That, Ma'am. Mas Chandra is over there." point RT sir at Chandra who happens to turn his head towards him.
Nadia smiled waving her right hand, this morning she was so cool with a simple yet still very charming look. A plain black t-shirt with a graceful long white skirt, her strung hair swept in the morning breeze.
"Here, I bring you some food" call Nadia.
Chandra also saw several people crowding to watch Nadia from a distance of several meters. Chandra got up from her seat and took off the gloves and washed her hands with tap water.
This is the first time for Nadia to get out of the house alone after the scandal made by Vidi exploded in the public. Nadia also felt uncomfortable with the gazes of the people towards her. Although Nadia did not know, what that gaze meant. Either a look of admiration because of her celeb status, or perhaps a scornful look because Nadia seemed to be innocent of her suddenly married behavior? Ah, Nadia had to try not to care for it, so she tried to thicken the skin of her face to give Chandra breakfast.
"Why don't you go home? Look, I made you what." Nadia showed the contents of her lunchbox to Chandra. Fruit salads and sandwiches that look delicious, do not forget also Nadia brought banana smoothie made.
Chandra's face was still flat, but Nadia thought it was common.
"You don't have to come here. I'm going to go home" Chandra said as he picked up a sandwich and put it in his mouth. He began to chew without much comment.
Nadia smiling. "Where, good?"
Chandra looked slowly. "Hm ...."
'The food is good, but my feelings are not good" Chandra said in his heart.
"Oiya, you've had your bath .. We're going to the mall yuk, take a walk."
Chandra's eyes were round, for a whole new time this time a woman took him for a walk. Moreover, the woman is his own wife.
"Why? Want, huh?" nadia asked again with a smile on her lips.
Chandra grabs the banana smoothie then gulps it down, the man also with the male rubs the breadcrumbs from the lips using the back of his hand.
"You, what do you want to buy?"
Nadia giggled, lightly grabbing her husband's arm and embracing him gently. "Hm, just take a walk. Look-look at shoes, clothes, culinary. Maybe you want to buy a new jacket or shirt. You see, your shirt is all plain, the color is also black as white."
"I can buy my own clothes. You don't have to bother."
Hearing Chandra's unilateral answer made Nadia sing her lips, and Chandra saw that. There was a bit of a strange feeling when Chandra witnessed Nadia's current expression, what was it? Feeling like pinching her cheek? I don't know, what is clear is that Chandra is clenching his hands so as not to ask permission to do that.
"This is first time, I take a guy for a walk. Want dong? Yea?"
Chandra kept shaking her head, she had to hold on at least until Nadia spoke openly and blatantly to him. Chandra should not force the desire to balance their relationship. At the time of the attitude Nadia actually seemed to pretend to enjoy, when in reality it is not at all.
"I can't go. If you want to go for a walk, you can take Joy."
"Why are you saying that?" nadia asked in a soft voice but managed to stab Chandra. Along with that, Nadia took off her arms.
"I'm like this. Sorry if you are offended by my attitude. I don't like to go for a walk, I don't like to go shopping."
Nadia smiled wryly, the girl then got up and tidied up the lunch box that still left the salad.
"If so, I go with Joy. You gave me permission, didn't you?"
"Hm."
Nadia really went, walked with a grumble and looked so irritated because of Chandra's attitude that changed 180 degrees overnight. How could her husband who held her last night be so cold now. Even Chandra also did not say thank you with provisions made attentive by Nadia.
"What is my fate yes, being dumped continues the same men!" nadia said unintentionally as her feet stepped into the house.
