Quiet Wife
12. A Visit to the House of In-Law

"Where? Everything in, Vin? No one's missing, right?" Fani asked me softly, as Calvin put one by one their luggage into the trunk of the car.

"There's still one, another brought along by Naura,"

"Heavy stuff?"

"No. At least a snack doang."

Before long, Naura in a feminine dress suit that fits so well on her tiny body, appeared carrying a jumbo-sized crackle containing several snacks that would accompany their trip.

Upon Naura's arrival, Calvin unceasingly amazed himself. Her long hair was left to be draped with sweetness. The three-quarter arm dress suit with length below the knee looked so beautifully wrapped around her body.

It is not wrong anymore the dress that his mother bought the other day. So suitable for Naura's body is petite and quite contained.

Surprisingly, Calvin's brain accidentally thought of Naura last night. His words that said next time, somehow so ringing in Calvin's head.

"Ekhem. Want me to help you?" Trying to get rid of all his absurd thoughts, Calvin approached Naura who was about to put a bag of snack chips in the back seat.

"Can, really, can." Naura's words, which were aimed at Calvin, made Fani surprised until she unconsciously raised her hand to smother her mouth.

You know, Naura?

Want it to feel like Fani asked Naura at length about, since when did she reopen?

However, the feeling was trying to get rid of Fani far away. According to him, it is good if the presence of Calvin can make Naura change little by little. In this way, his promise to his late mother Naura who is also his best friend, to make Naura recover from trauma, can be fulfilled.

"His car was checked yesterday all the same Papa. So, now you guys just use it. Be careful on the road, yeah. Inget, don't speed!" The last of Fani's memories he points to Calvin who is busy looking at Naura.

"Yes, Mah. Just calm down."

"Now, Vin! A gift from Papa." The Divo who was busy in the house, suddenly came with a small paper bag that was directly given to Calvin.

"What, huh, Pah?" As Calvin was about to open it, the Divo stopped him.

"Later to know." Whisper, then stare around. Seeming quite safe, then the Divo continued his words in half a whisper. And damn it, it makes Calvin's ears heat up.

"Just in case if you want a suitable planting. Inget, still in college! Even though it's been once, the second can't get to obscurity."

"Ck! What the hell, Pah?! We're going to Papa Hermawan's house, not the honeymoon! Papa ngadi-ngadi, here. Don't want to, ah! Take it again, nih!" Just as Calvin was about to hand him back, this papa, with a rancid look, continued to tease him into taking it.

"Eeh, take it, Vin! 'It's just anticipation,"

"The problem is that Calvin doesn't want to! How will Naura say? No, ah! If you want to stay also do not in the dalem aja, done right?"

"God! What are you two talking about? It's suspicious from before."

Both Calvin and Divo, both reflexes distanced each other. Spontaneous Calvin hid the papa-given paper bag behind his back.

Pest, kebawa!

"Not anymore. Yeah, isn't it, Pah?"

Damnit damnit! How, does it feel like I'm smuggling illegal goods? All because of the papa!

"Ekhem. I'm going to noon, mending you guys go straight away. Oh, aye. Don't forget the dipake, yeah, Vin!"

Oh papaaaa!!!! "Hm, yes."

"What's on the cake?" Plain questions from Naura, make Calvin increasingly excited.

"That's, you-ho"

"Safety belt! Yes, that means Papa! 'Can, Pah?" Sela Calvin, hurry up. Afraid that his papa's words would make Naura's mind no longer innocent.

Only Calvin has the right to make Naura's mind polluted. Yes, just Calvin!

"Ooh."

"Yes already. Be careful on the road, yeah, honey! Mama's kabarin when she gets there." Before actually letting Naura go with Calvin, Fani took the time to embrace Naura affectionately.

It felt like a dream, where Naura, once so small, was now standing tall in front of her. Moreover, now Naura even became his daughter-in-law. It is perfectly legal to be part of the family.

If only, you were still here, Mi. I really want to see your happy hue when I see that our children are really married right now. Like you said at the time.

...****...

The journey to Naura's hometown on the coast, makes the trip so pleasant. Especially along the way, both are presented with a view of the blue sea.

About an hour into the drive, Calvin stopped his car in a quiet place. Not because it has arrived, or stray, but because Naura is suddenly drunk on travel.

Right now, attentively, Calvin helped massage Naura who was still spewing out her entrails.

"So take cold medicine first, right?" The head of Naura, breath by Calvin.

"We'll rest there first, yuk!" Invite Calvin, who was called back by Naura.

Luckily, where the two stopped, there was a bench made of bamboo, making it easier for Calvin to bring Naura a short break.

"Drink first." Calvin handed me a bottle of water that he had opened. Weakly, Naura grabbed him.

"Thank you. All my life, I've never been drunk on a trip like this." Naura handed Calvin a bottle of drinking water, after he downed it a little.

"Oh, huh? What did you eat?" Calvin felt Naura's forehead, then proceeded to the neck area to check her body temperature. And, everything's normal.

"Not eating strangely, really. But nausea."

"Now still nauseous?" Ask Calvin, gently. The reply was a slow-moving trouser from Naura, no longer questioned by Calvin.

For a moment, the two fell silent to each other. Calvin was busy hugging Naura's tiny body from the side, while Naura tried to close her eyes with her head resting on Calvin's broad shoulders.

The gust of sea wind seemed to smell even more intense. Especially when the wind started to blow away some of Naura's hair. The owner is currently trying to close his eyes.

Several times Calvin tried to get rid of the hair that was blocking Naura's pretty face, but to no avail. A whiff of unknowingly popped out from his mouth, and woke Naura who was trying to fall asleep for a while.

"What's Calvin's mom?" Slowly, Naura began to position her body into sitting straight. Both of his eyes, which still looked adorable, looked at Calvin who looked confused to answer what.

"Hm, that. Your hair." Calvin. Making Naura instantly touch her hair.

Without asking anything more, Naura reached into the pocket of the dress she had previously slipped something there, a hair tie. With painstakingly without the need to comb her hair first, Naura tied her hair up high with such a neat result.

Calvin was even amazed by Naura's skills that did not require a mirror or comb to tidy his hair. And what makes Calvin wrong focus is, the neckline of Naura. Suddenly Calvin remembered that night, where ferociously, Calvin left some traces of purplishness on the beautiful neck.

Damnit damnit! What else do you think, Vin!? Perverted all feelings fill your mind. My astonishment! Where did you learn from?

In his deepest heart, Calvin was so self-critical that he could be perverted toward Naura. If Naura could understand Calvin's heart, she could have been slapped by Naura by now.

Just thinking about it makes you sick.

"Mas Calvin!"

"Hm. Aye!" Calvin's startled reaction was so natural, making a smile on Naura's face imprinted.

"Mas Calvin's daydreaming again, huh? Thought what?" As if he had completely recovered, Naura asked nosily as she poked Calvin's arm. Surprisingly, Calvin's reaction looked so stiff.

"I don't think anything. Oh, ja. Are you feeling better yet? Want to walk now?" Before Naura continues to ask questions that make Calvin checkmate, it is better for Calvin to divert the chatter so that Naura no longer asks who could the question will end up trapping Calvin.

"Hm, already! Now it's just."

"Later if you get nauseous again, say, yes!"

...****...

Depart from home at nine in the morning, arriving at the destination at around twelve in the middle of the day. The journey feels slower than usual, because Naura is drunk traveling, then ask for this snack and that first. And lastly, Naura wanted to rest because both of her legs were suddenly sore.

As a kind and understanding husband, Calvin could only serve all of Naura's wishes. He thought, count the road together. When again?

At this moment, when Naura and Calvin were standing at the door about to press the doorbell, the door opened wide. Appearing a man of not so tall stature, which Naura longed for.

"Papa?" The look on Hermawan's face turned even more shocked, when he heard his daughter speak his name. The feeling of the day seemed unstoppable, so that Hermawan spontaneously hugged his only daughter.

"Papa kangen with Naura." Hermawan. Actually, there is much he wants to say. Especially about Naura who returned open as it is today

Is it all because of Calvin?

Both hugs are required to unravel when remembering where the current position of the two is. The attention of Hermawan who was originally busy with his daughter, began to turn to Calvin.

"Son Calvin, how's it going? Okay?" With a smile that was so bright, Hermawan shook his daughter-in-law's hand without feeling hesitant.

For whatever sake, he was extremely happy with Naura's change.

"Alhamdulillah, fine, Pah. Papa how's it going?"

"Very good, thanks to you. Uh, what, so talk at the door? Come on, come on in! The goods so that later Ujang help bringain. Now he's in the kitchen, making you drink." The words of Hermawan, made Calvin and Naura come to their senses. Both of them threw their gazes at each other for a moment.

"Pump! Wait what else?" Seeing Naura smiling so sincerely at Calvin, it felt like making Hermawan more happy and relieved at the same time.

His bad thoughts that continue to speculate, that Naura will not live happily after what has happened turned out to be a big mistake. In fact, Naura has started to open up again after all these years her daughter is just silent and not talking.

Apparently, it wasn't a bad decision to marry Naura to Calvin. I even saw that Calvin loved Naura. Her gentle eyes explained everything.
