Only Raised Children
99. Because of Smile

The night after dinner together at Thomas's residence and the children of the media had left their residence, Irfan and Santi and Rico and Alina said goodbye to go home soon. Rico and Alina from tonight will be staying at Irfan and Santi's residence. As long as they had not found a place to live, they would stay there for a while. 

Alina's personal equipment has been put in a suitcase, now Alina and Rico immediately go down to meet her parents who are waiting in the living room. Not much that Alina brought, just some clothes that will be used for work and everyday, as well as feminine tools such as, make up, skin care, and work equipment. 

"You're done?" santi asked when she saw the arrival of her son and daughter-in-law. 

"Here you go, Ma" replied Alina. 

"Well, let's go home."

Alina and Rico nodded their heads. After that they went out with the rest of Alina's family. Before getting into the car, Alina hugs both her parents and her brothers and Marissa. For the second time he had to separate from his parents. Although still in one city, but it feels like time is passing very quickly. So many years living away from his parents now he has to live on another roof with both parents. 

Alina couldn't possibly ask Rico to stay at her residence because she also understood that Rico's parents had no one but Rico himself. While at the residence of his parents there is still Morgan who will accompany Alina's parents. But it's okay for Alina, after all, their residence is not too far away, so Alina can sometimes invite Rico to stay at her parents' residence. 

After saying goodbye to her parents and brother, Alina approached Marissa who was holding a little girl named Lala.

"Hey Lala, Aunt's cute niece. Aunty go first yes, later if not busy Aunt will play to Lala's house, or we gather here," said Alina who seemed like Lala could understand her words. 

"Well Aunt Alina, Aunt is healthy there yes," said Marissa who seemed to answer the words of Alina who represented her son. 

After bidding farewell to her family, Alina and Rico get into a separate car from Rico's parents. They sat her body in the passenger seat with a driver who helped drive the car to Renaldi's residence.

Because the road was not very crowded that night, the car carrying Rico and Irfan arrived a little faster at his residence. They got out of the car and went straight into the house.

"You must be tired, rest early. Sorry to disturb your mood today" Santi told his two children.

Rico approached the mother upon hearing her words.

"Mom don't apologize. Rico who actually apologized for making the atmosphere become like this. Rico should have been happy, instead of refusing to give Mama and Papa."

Santi smiled at the words of his son. Di was happy to hear Rico say if he accepted his gift.

"Of course, don't keep apologizing. Let's get some rest" Irfan said to his wife and son.

Santi smiled again at her husband's words, then he approached Alina first, hugged her briefly and kissed her cheek before parting ways.

...*...

Rico takes Alina upstairs to his room. Arriving in the room, Alina's eyes circled the contents of the room. The room he had entered a few months ago for the first time.

At that time this room still looks like a single man's room. But for now, for some reason Alina felt that this room had become hers. Alina smiled faintly imagining that this room had become hers.

Rico, who saw his wife smiling alone, looked astonished. He raised one of his eyebrows and approached his wife after putting a suitcase beside the bed.

"Why smile for yourself?" ask Rico. He held his wife's hip and directed her body to face off.

"Em, no," Alina said with a smile.

Rico scrunched his forehead. "Nothing?"

Alina nodded.

"You don't think anything weird anymore, do you?" ask Rico again who now makes Alina frown.

"What's weird?" alina asked confusedly. She still did not understand what her husband meant.

"You're not thinking about our first night, are you?"

Hearing Rico's words, Alina was instantly stunned. Their first night? Rico thought that? 

Alina quickly took off Rico's hand which was still holding her hip. For whatever sake Alina became wrong with the behavior of her husband's words. It turned out that Rico thought that he was smiling because of it, but there was nothing in his heart to think about it. She alone was unthinkable about their first night due to her in-laws announcement this afternoon.

"Why?" rico asked who saw his wife was avoiding.

Alina swallowed her saliva. "Em, no."

"No?"

"I didn't think there. Sorry," said Alina. Either she should be embarrassed or unwell for forgetting the important thing for them as a newlywed.

"Why apologize?" Rico went back to his wife, holding her waist by tightening their bodies.

"Co." Alina looked agitated at their current position. Not because it was uncomfortable, but because it was unusual and he looked amused by Rico's gaze that was this close.

"Why, Honey?" ask Rico again while tucking his wife's hair behind his ear. It made Alina more amused. His heart was beating faster and his cheeks were now red.

"Why are you so weird?" ask Alina. She really felt strange with her husband's attitude that suddenly became sweet like this, but only a few minutes ago she still looked confused by the decision of her parents.

"Weird why?" Rico smiled seductively, but not for long because he could not bear to see his wife who was uncomfortable with the current circumstances.

"Let's clean your body, we have to rest early because tomorrow Papa and Mama will take us away. I'll tidy up your things first" she said later before Alina answered her question earlier. Rico let go of his embrace from his wife's waist.

"Where are you going?" ask Alina. He doesn't know this yet because Irfan just told Rico when he was in his room this afternoon.

"Eitherway. Papa didn't tell me where to go, but we asked him to get ready before seven in the morning."

Alina nodded her head. Alright if that's the case, they hanYa should follow the words of Rico's parents only. Maybe Rico's parents want to take them somewhere, or I don't know, Alina can't guess.
