Nayla has been living in her husband's apartment for a week. Not much is happening. Nayla who had to go to school in the morning and come home in the afternoon where Reynand also woke up when Nyala was no longer in the apartment and came home when it was midnight and even dawn, requiring them not to meet and talk much.
He knows it's hard. To be honest, this marriage was really confusing for him. Reynand, that man is too busy. While he is a person who is difficult to open themselves to new people. Several times he thought of greeting and even chatting from behind his room when he found out Reynand was coming home at midnight. But only the fear that He felt and it was mixed with the unpleasant feelings that He also kept.
Living in a place of people with relationships that are not close. He really thinks to himself how to go forward.
That afternoon Mama Reynand came to the apartment. He brought a lot of groceries. Four full pockets. Food ingredients, soap and other necessities.
“This is you shopping.” Mama Adel opened the contents of the refrigerator by alternately staring at Nayla.
“Iya ma.” Nayla stands behind Mama Adel.
After checking the fridge, then turning around, Mama Adel looked at Nayla and smiled, He then approached the girl.
“No, Mama has been sure all this time. You can definitely take care of Reynand.” Slipping Nayla's shoulder slowly.
Nayla smiled in response. Meanwhile Mama Adel looked at the girl in awe, for her Nayla was not a girl who was neko-neko.
“When Mama has been shopping a lot, afraid you guys have nothing to stock up on. Yes, your mom's groceries are simple. For supplies, you two do not have to shop for a while.”
"Yes Ma, thank you very much." Nayla smiled again. She was happy that my mom really showed her hospitality.
“Mama want to drink what?” to Mama Adel.
“No need to let Mama make her own, you must be tired to go home from school.”
“Then Nayla wants to finish the groceries that Mama brought.” The girl was still trying to find a rush.
“Let's aja. Mama wants to chat first with you.” Mama holds Nayla's cheek, her thumb fingers are stroking finely. Nayla smiled She was a little embarrassed.
Mama then sat down at the dining table, which Nayla followed. They also sat facing.
“You are truly an independent child. You can cook, just like your mom said.” Mama looked at the food she had just opened from the hood.
The girl's smile again expands, this is the umpteenth compliment that Mama expressed to her.
“You must be the trouble.”
Nayla raised her head, trying to understand the meaning of Mama's words.
“Mafin Grandpa yes. Mama knows you two aren't really ready.” Mama Adel sighed. Reynand and Nayla are both very young to be married. But how else, like Grandpa said this is for the common good.
Mama Adel again raised her hand to stroke Nayla's cheek slowly. “Nayla Mama is glad you married Reynand. Even though this is too fast. Moreover, you you are still in school.” Mama was silent for a moment, She raised her hand to caress Nayla's curly hair. “You know the story. Your grandfather and his grandfather Reynand were very close friends.”
Nayla no longer answered, because honestly married to Reynand still could not accept.
A few moments later, he just watched. Listen to whatever your mom says. About the efforts of Mama who tried to take Reynand's heart back. Their relationship was strained by her divorce from her husband. Now Mama is starting to get along with Reynand again. After a long time he just ventured to approach Reynand.
The girl responded more silently with a smile. He knew that Mom only needed to be heard.
"You take care of Reynand. Later that night Mama's gonna be heading back out of the country with Deddy Joshua." Mama gently stroked Nayla's head. His face looks sad.

At night, about nine. I think Reynand came home early that night. They both just finished dinner together.
“Lo shopping again today?” ask Reynad who opened the fridge.
“Ngak.”
“Continue this.” Reynand noticed the contents of the refrigerator were getting fuller.
“Mama who buyin. Mama was here.”
Reynand mangut's. The look on his face changed immediately. "What did Mom say?"
"Mama send greetings. Tonight Mama and Deddy are going back overseas."
Reynand was silent at the word.. He felt he didn't want to talk about it. The relationship between Mama Adel and her husband, she did not want to hear that.
But it seems Nayla can catch Reynand's face changing. Apparently her husband has not forgotten the past. It seems he still feels the pain of being abandoned by his mother who prefers to join the husband living abroad.
Moments later, Reynand steps into the kitchen to get some water. Passing with Nayla who is carrying a basket of dirty clothes.
“What's been doing?" ask her with a glass of water in the hand.
“Washing clothes in washing machine. You got dirty clothes? would you like me to wash?”
"Oh, there's." Reynand nodded, he then walked quickly and went back inside his room.
Nayla was waiting in the back. He bit his lips. Didn't expect the bases to be taken seriously by Reynand.
Oh my goodness, when he was just making small talk.
About a lot huh?
Not long after Reynand came out of the room. He only brought one jacket stel.
Nayla's hand received the jacket in surprise. But he didn't have to be too curious about why the man had only given her one dirty shirt. Without asking, he finally passed back to the washing machine.
Reynand closed his eyes.Why he looks so stupid just handed a stel jacket to Nayla. I don't know what the girl will think of him. This situation really confused him. How should he face this girl for the next time? It turned out that marrying a young girl was not as young as he thought.
