Wardah took Rahmah to his house with mixed feelings. Seeing Rahmah take a bath and accompany the prayer woman in her room, Wardah's feelings are not getting smaller but the girl is getting hotter to be Pang Sagoe's wife.
“Kak, eat first yok!” take her gently after Rahmah changes clothes. The woman nodded kindly and followed Wardah to her family's humble dining table. Teungku Kadi had gone to the cottage while his mother was folding clothes not far from where they were sitting.
“Umi, let's eat together.” Take a gentle Grace with her sweet smile. All the movements of Rahmah did not escape the catch of Wardah's eyes.
“Umi already ate with Abu Warda earlier when you were taking a shower. Eat, don't be shy! Consider it your own home.”
“Thank you, Umi.” The middle-aged woman nodded then drifted back into her work. Sometimes he glanced at his daughter. There was pity from that look.
“Kakak live where before?” ask Wardah for pleasantries.
Rahmah smiled again then without hesitation Wardah told her about her village before marrying Ilham to Wardah even as she took care of Ilham in the basement of her home. Wardah listened intently and enthusiastically.
“So Brother is directly applied once healed?” wardah asked curiously because Rahmah had not told her about how she and Ilham ended up in marriage.
“Kakak started to like Bang Ilham but Abang did not seem to know. Then after Brother recovered and left the house Brother and after a few weeks later we met again and the next day was immediately married.” Wardah's eyes were getting rounder with curiosity.
“Why can it be that fast? You just met and got married?” Grace smile.
“Father Brother and Brother have spoken first before Brother met with Brother on the wedding day. You know, it was Father Brother who asked Brother to marry Brother. My brother told me all this after we got married. And when Brother asked why Brother accepted Dad's request, Brother said that if Brother also likes Brother but Brother is afraid he can not be happy with Brother. That's why I hesitate to propose to my sister. But after the calamity that befell Brother's sister, Brother was already determined to take Brother away from there until now Brother ended here.” Rahmah smiled gently while the girl in front of her was planning something in her head. And not far from there, Teungku Kadi's wife also heard clearly what Rahmah was saying.
After eating, Rahmah immediately washed her dirty dishes with other dishes even though it was forbidden by Wardah and her mother. Rahmah waited for Isya then after the prayer, she returned to the cottage with Wardah. There, they sat down with Teungku Kadi and the others and secretly Wardah stole a glance towards Pang Sagoe who looked increasingly dashing and handsome. Ayanya had a conversation with Rahma and one thing that Wardah caught in all the behavior of the woman was her soft and smiley speech. And that smile Wardah had to admit was very sweet.
“Nak, because your wife has arrived. Sleep inside! You are husband and wife and do not deserve to sleep in the cottage.”
Inspiration nodded immediately. All this time he slept in the cottage with his friends but now that his wife was there, there was no way he would let his men sleep outside. Ilham was swept by his partner to one of the simple rooms that Teunku Kadi had prepared. Conscious or not, there are hearts who are disappointed with the decision of Teunku Kadi that night. Especially when the lights are off, strange sounds from the next room make Wardah bristling.
The girl condemned her father's decision that night. The sound of people talking even in a very small volume makes Wardah never close his eyes. Her ears and eyes opened perfectly that night until she unconsciously fell asleep at three in the morning with the quiet of the next room.
That morning, Wardah was again struck by reality when she saw Rahmah's wet hair. As a grown woman, Wardah quite understands what happened last night. His heart was getting less and less out of sight of all that bitter reality.
That morning for the first time, Rahmah bathed her husband in the well. She knew very well that her husband had not bathed properly all this time. Rahma soared her husband's body slowly and Ilham with his prank disturbed the wife until both of them look so romantic and without them knowing, Wardah who was peeking carried away the feeling. Especially when you see Rahmah's hands playing on the chest and back of Inspiration. The man also did not hesitate to pull the hand of the wife and give small kisses on the cheek of his wife. Wardah's getting into a dilemma, in this house there's only one. Her mother and father went to the market.
Rahmah took her husband to a slightly closed place to clean the sensitive area of her husband because during bathing earlier, Ilham used a sarong to cover the bottom. All that did not escape the eyes of Wardah especially when he saw Rahmah back in the shower and Rahmah's mouth again gaping when he realized if they took a bath together and had sex there.
“Bang,” call Rahmah when drying her husband's hair.
Ilham hugged his wife's waist while occasionally kissing the woman's stomach until Rahmah was amused by the manner of Inspiration.
“Why silent?”
“I feel someone is looking at us.” The Rahmah instinct is at work. It is not only the grace that feels that way, though, Ilham himself who has been trained in the world of war knows since then that someone is peeping at them but Ilham deliberately let it because he knows who is peeping at him.
“Honey,” call Inspiration friendly.
With his nosiness, Ilham pulled the nape of his wife and then returned to kissing with heat. The action was deliberately taken to break the intention of someone who was hiding behind a wooden wall. But unfortunately, Ilham's estimation was wrong this time. Because Wardah was determined to persuade his father to propose to Ilham this afternoon.
“Abang why so nosy?” rahmah Protest.
“Ashen and Umi are absent. What's wrong with making out with your own wife.”
“But Wardah is. How about he see?”
“He's just a kid that you already consider a sister.”
“Iya, I also admire her sister. Seeing Wardah makes me miss Raudah.”
“You missed your family?” tanya Ilham clasped the wife's hand. Rahmah nodded weakly, “But I missed Abang more.” The bright smile of Illam rising made the man again pull Rahmah into his lap. They kissed again until the sound of people giving greetings was heard from outside.
“Let's again ya!” whispers of Inspiration make Rahmah just nods resignedly.
While in the house, “Abu, Umi, lamar Bang Ilham for me!”
