One Night With Your Wife
Time that has passed

Switzerland, five years later. 

Currently, Zavian and Nayara are in one of the inns in Interlaken, Switzerland. The view from his room overlooks the Alps whose summit is still covered in snow in early spring. Zavian stood leaning against the window frame while waiting for his wife to call Mama Widya whom they had left in America with Zean and Zia. 

“ Mommy and Daddy just arrived at the inn about half an hour ago. Hm…. Mommy has missed you too,” said Nayara. The woman glanced at Zavian then said,” Daddy misses you too...”.

The voice of her children was earthy from across the street and Nayara laughed at it. Not long after that the phone connection was cut off and the smile was still left on his lips. 

“ Next time we have to bring the kids here,” said Nayara. 

“ Of course,” says Zavian. 

Zean is now eight years old and attended one of the elementary schools. While Zia is five years old and just starting her first pre-school class with activities that are quite fun. In fact they did not plan a trip to Switzerland while the children were in school. 

Only, a week ago Yudha said he wanted to visit America to meet with Zavian, but his wife instead took a vacation to Switzerland. The honeymoon, he said. As a husband who loved his wife, Yudha agreed to the plan. 

Eventually Zavian relented and chose to follow his friend to Switzerland with his wife. Mama Widya seemed happy when asked to take care of her two grandchildren and asked Zavian not to rush home. Both take time for a vacation after a long time busy themselves with various activities. 

There is nothing to worry about, Mama Widya guarantees that everything will be fine, except for an explosive longing when it has not been long separated. 

Zavian's meeting with Yudha was about the business they had been building all along. Companies that were originally limited to limited liability companies have now turned into corporate companies with several business auspices under them. 

Although far away, Zavian still plays an important role in controlling his company and creating new innovations. Evidently, the two subsidiaries stood only a year after his departure to America. And now they have finished setting up a third company under his leadership. 

“ After this I decided to step down from the position of CEO and focus on helping the company-in-law,” Yudha said. It was this plan that led Zavian to meet Yudha directly. 

A month ago, Yudha at the age of expiry was married to the only daughter of a famous conglomerate and was promised to be the sole heir. That is why Yudha chose to step down from office and asked Zavian to take over the leadership. He is unlikely to do the double job which will later end in ineffective performance. 

“ We choose the CEO just now, because I have not intended to go home to Indonesia,” said Zavian. 

“ I know you have a good life in America, but until when do you want to stay there ?” ask Yudha.” You seriously do not miss Jakarta ?”

Zavian pondered for a while, he turned his head towards Nayar who was also staring at him.

” I don't know ..”

All the problems with their families have been solved for a long time. The Rayyansyah company again developed under the leadership of Om Farhan. The relationship between Mama Widya and Aunt Tania has warmed over the past year. They exchanged news over the phone and apologized to each other. 

There were no more problems that Zavian had to avoid. But for some reason, he has not intended to return to Indonesia. Maybe because all this time they lived comfortably and there was no one to remind them to go home. 

“ Not that I doubt your ability, Za.But it would be better if you go home and take care of our company directly,” said Yudha again. 

“ Later, I consider first,” said Zavian. 

Then their conversation flowed over many things. There are some plans that they should be realising in the near future. Since Yudha chose to step down, it was time for Zavian to consider his return to Indonesia.

Later that night, Zavian decides to soak in the jacuzzi. Meanwhile, Nayara called Mama Widya and made sure her children were doing well all day. He repeatedly said that Zean and Zia should be nice for the next week. 

His worries had a clear reason. Because the beautiful and sweet youngest Zianna has an unpredictable bar-bar attitude. Two days ago, Zia beat her classmate to the point of bleeding because she was insulted by an asian stupid. Though Nayara always said that her son must maintain his attitude, but racist remarks even make Zia rise in blood. 

After calling, Nayara walked to the bathroom. He found Zavian who had soaked first and the man stretched out his arms, asking that the wife join him. 

“ Here, Darling,” says Zavian. 

Nayara removed the robe knot she was wearing until her body was plain without any protection. Zavian immediately hugged his wife and Nayara laid her head on her husband's chest. 

“ About what?” ask Zavian . 

“ Return to Indonesia,” replied Nayara. She looked up, then stroked Zavian's cheeks while looking at her husband's eyes closely.” I know you've been thinking about it since this afternoon.” 

For Nayara, Zavian is her soul mate . He memorized how the man's face gestures when he was thinking about something and sometimes could guess it easily. Zavian in front of Nayara was like an open book he had understood. 

“ What do you think ?” ask Zavian . As usual, he needed his wife's opinion on the path of life he would take later.

“ I support your decision,” said Nayara. And, like her role so far, Nayara will always be the best support system for her husband.” I know you want to go home and I agree with you. It is time we return to live life in Indonesia with Mama and the children.” 

“ Then, we must find a good school for children,” said Zavian, 

“ Mama would love to hear this,” Nayara said

Zavian just mumbled softly. During this time Mama Widya seemed happy and fine living with her children and grandchildren. He's not complaining at all. But Mama Widya often invites her fellow Indonesian immigrants to gather together. Zavian knew exactly that the middle-aged woman missed the warm atmosphere like in Jakarta. 

“ Imagining returning home to the homeland feels good,” said Nayara. 

“ I've always been grateful to you, Nay. Because you have wanted to accompany my journey so far,” said Zavian sincerely. 

“ Yes, how , because my happiness is with you,” said Nayara while chuckling small. Now Nayara changed her position to face Zavian. “ I've always wanted to thank you too. Thank you for being my husband and also a good father to our children.” 

Zavian kissed the corner of his wife's lips at a glance, then he said,” I want to always be there for you in various conditions. Whether it's fun or hard, I want us to stay together. Although sometimes you say that I'm annoying, busy, ignorant and……. Well, come to think of it turns out my nature is ugly as well ya.” 

Nayara laughed loudly, she shook her head quickly.” Who said that?” 

“ I'm afraid to be a manipulative toxic husband, always ask you to do this, limit your space, and can not do things that make you happy,” said Zavian again. 

“ No.....” says Nayara fast.” You're not like that, By. Many things you have done to make me happy and until now I am truly grateful that you are in my life.”

Zavian chose silence and then he went down Nayara's face with his fingers . Eyebrows, eyes, nose, to lips. Real pretty. Zavian approached and kissed his wife's lips. Then Zavian wrapped his hands around his wife's waist. His gaze was still adoring and his desire never faded. Nayara has given birth to two children but her body is still awake and remains as beautiful as ever. Or perhaps, Zavian never worried about his wife's physical changes. Because in her eyes, Nayara was always awesome. 

...----------------...

The return plan to Indonesia was welcomed with pleasure by Mama Widya. Not that she does not like her current residence, but Mama Widya is more comfortable if she lives in Indonesia.

It took about a month for Zavian and Nayara to prepare their return to Indonesia because there were many things they had to take care of before leaving. Especially about the school transfer of their children. 

After everything was done, they went back to Indonesia. They are grateful for the time and opportunity given by God because the American state has become a comfortable place in healing all the pain in the chest. 

Now it is time to return to the homeland with a much more relieved and airy feeling. Mama Widya is aware that she is very arrogant, but she needs to behave so to survive in the Rayyansyah family. But now, after a few years passed, the arrogance just melted from within him. 

Together with Zavian and Nayara, he realizes that what he needs is not an abundance of wealth and high power. But a family filled with love and sincerity. 

In her old age, Mama Widya only needed a place where she was well received, because now she is a mother and grandmother of two grandchildren. 

“ We go home,Ma,” whispered Zavian when they had sat on the plane. 

“ You know, for five years here is the best time in Mama's life,” whisper no less haru. He has learned to forgive, to accept and to embrace the breast. “ Thank you for bringing Mama here, Za.”
