For a month, Karen had always been in jail for Daniel. All the ideas Karen had muster from cooking that was too salty, sometimes too much sugar, too spicy, moving furniture, and Daniel's most severe weakness was hygiene problems.
Karen deliberately did not do her duty to clean the room and leave it dirty. None managed to lure Daniel into a rampage.
Only, if the room is very messy and dirty, Daniel will immediately clean and clean everything.
"Niel, I'm sorry I couldn't clean the room. I have so much more to do." Karen acting apologetic.
Daniel nodded.
"Aren't you angry with me? I'm not doing my duty."
He asked to be scolded or what? (Daniel).
Daniel shakes.
"Damn!" Karen shuffled Daniel's hair with her two hands. "The answer is complete words, why aren't you angry?"
"Oh." Daniel straightened his hair and took a deep breath. "Because it actually provides clothing, food and boards it is the duty of the husband including a clean board. The wife's duty is only according to the husband. Technically, you're not wrong."
"But I don't care about you. You told me to clean the room and I didn't clean it. How come you're not angry?"
"You've done a lot of work, I understand."
"You're perfect so husband, I wonder why you can get a bad wife, unruly, nagging and not obedient like I think gini!" karen is full of sarcasm.
"I'm surprised too."
"What!" Karen's back to shredding her husband's hair. "Basic of the Statue of Anubis!"
He himself said, I follow him anyway, why even angry? (Daniel).
He doesn't understand me anymore what circus? But if you think about it, he's perfect except for one, can't talk like a human. Because he is not human, he is a statue of anubis hahah. (Karen).
"Gwffhttt." Karen laughed a little.
Daniel looked at Karen in astonishment. His wife was very easy to change her mood. Just as he was angry, a moment later he chuckled withholding laughter. Sometimes, his laughter was not at all held back and just let go.
Daniel is inversely related to Karen. He rarely smiled, especially to Karen. He could smile more and talk to others than to his own wife.

Kendrick ....
The change of teaching staff made it frustrating. Several times struggling to make a new thesis proposal, the lecturer who is famous for his alot has not agreed.
Now Kendrik is very dead-end and tired. As if he had no spirit, he did not go to campus for a few days.
"Ken, don't you sniff?"
"No, Ma. Why also, even the edges are just hanging. It's at home."
"You can go to the campus library, read the thesis of your brother level so you can be inspired."
"Udah, Ma, I've got a lot of inspiration, but my lecturer has not agreed. Let me stay home, Ma."
Mama Puri stroking chest. She went to the television room and looked at a picture of her late husband.
Pa, your son is no longer excited. Even though the thesis remains after that he will graduate. (Mama Castle).
In the midst of his mind going nowhere, his only daughter called.
📞"Hello, Ma, Saturday tomorrow I'm with Daniel want to stay at home."
📞"Yes, Ren. Incidentally, please encourage your sister to make a thesis proposal."
📞"Only the same new lecturer has not been approved?"
📞"Not yet, he's running out of ideas."
📞"Yes, Ma. I'll get as excited about him as I can."
Suddenly Karen called right when Kendrik was falling. It turned out that the two of them were still equally strong feeling. Kirain after marriage, the sharpness of their feelings will decrease. (Mama Castle).
***
Karen and Daniel are on their way to Mama Puri's house.
"Kasian Kendrik, even though the previous thesis stayed a little more, uh he had to repeat again. I also can not help anyway, my majors are much different from her majors. I'm literary, he's biological."
Karen was like monologuing because she did not get a response from the interlocutor. Disappointed, she glanced at her husband.
I just talked about the car dashboard, right? Bodo' is very. (Karen).
Arriving at Mama Puri's house, Karen went straight to Kendrik's room. The young man did not leave the room despite hearing his brother's car arrive home.
"Hi, I'm dataaang!" Karen stroked her sister's shoulder.
"Hi, Koreng, long time no fuss. Want to make a storm?"
"Yes, hahah, we will practice karate yes, I have not practiced the last 2 months, afraid to forget."
"Forgot nothing, you're an illegal karateka."
"Eh, if I forget yes you have to teach me again. Especially now, I need a lot of practice to protect myself."
"Huh?"
"Ssttt, don't be whiny, I'll tell you a story while training. I'm helping Mama back up."
Karen passed before Kendrik's curiosity was answered. After Karen exits Kendrik's room, Daniel enters the room.
"Hi, Ken."
"Hi, Brother. You guys come into my room changing so, would you like some advice, huh? Koreng ngajakin karate training later the edges would want nasehatin as well."
Kendrik had mounted the horses before being lectured by Daniel.
"Nosehatin not but love of spirit."
"Akh .. same thing."
"Different, I can help too. Medicine is not so far from biology."
"Oh yeah? Try it, Brother Daniel has an idea what made my script? How does it relate to biology?"
Kendrik doesn't believe it. Actually all students who study in biology also know that biology and medicine are closely related. Kendrik is just not sure Daniel will actually help him or will just cheer him up.
"much. You can examine the condition of the heart of people with heart disease seen from the anatomy of physiology. Or many more. I've got a lot of books, journals, e-books, everything you need there. I also have a biology that has nothing to do with medicine, but is related to pharmaceuticals such as vitamin b17 research on apricots. If you like biotech, you can also connect with medical."
"Example?"
"For example, genetic engineering."
Kendrik nodded his head cheerfully.
It seemed like her brother-in-law was seriously wanting to help her. And indeed Daniel intends to help, not just to advise. It was also supported by Daniel's profession and expertise in medicine.
"Cendric, out!" Karen shouted from outside the house. He had changed clothes and was ready to train with his sister.
"Come, Brother Niel, come out!" take Kendrik.
"Later to follow."
Kendrik and Karen were already in the side yard of the house. Karen looked at her sister's already brighter face now.
Miraculously, talk about what the statue, why my sister who had no spirit so smile like this. (Karen).
As they started, they talked. "What are you talking about that guy? How do you get so cheerful?"
"Hish, 'that guy'? How is that the same with my own husband? Wh why? Marahan again?"
Karen stopped her activity and suddenly felt limp. At that moment, Daniel was near the door. He planned to catch up with them but dropped out because he heard the brother-sister talk.
