Ayu's phone shook because there was an incoming message from her husband.
Danus

His fingers typed the incoming reply message.

Ayu only reads the last message from Danu without any desire to reply to him, he puts the phone back into his desk drawer.
Ayu indeed began to learn to accept her husband's second marriage, but still all of those things were not easy for her. The word sincere is easy to say, but very difficult to do.
He could only catch his breath.
“Constrate my heart, yes Rabb” he said softly.
...***...
“Assalamualaikum.”
Danu and Ayu said their greetings together.
“Waallaikumsallam,” Pak Gunawan replied.
Danu and Ayu crucify Bu Wati and Pak Gunawan in turn.
“What time is it, Dan? I'm hungry waiting for you!” bu Wati's Protest to Danu.
“Sorry, Mom. Last time traffic jammed,” Danu explained to his mother.
“Had, reason continues. You are with Ayu, yes you have to go back and forth. His office is different. Supposedly, you left by yourself directly from the office here. No need to pick up everything, habits. That's why it's spoiled!” Bu Wati said with a ketus.
Ayu's heart gripped hearing the words of her mother-in-law. He just fell silent without any intention of defending, even the stomach that had been hungry suddenly satiated for a moment.
“Come, my wife is Mom. It's natural that he's spoiled or I pick him up, usually so too.”
When Bu Wati was about to speak again, Mr. Gunawan first said.
“Already, already, they just came. Danu, Ayu, now let's eat.” Gunawan said firmly.
Ms. Wati was silent, but her face looked very upset.
Bu Wati glanced back at her daughter-in-law. I don't know why, right now he doesn't like Ayu. If in the past, you could say Ayu is the ideal woman to be a daughter-in-law and a wife, Bu Wati will immediately agree.
But now? This did not happen after almost a year, he waited for a pregnancy that he did not hear from his son-in-law.
Now her only hope is Rika, her second daughter-in-law. The woman who was married in series one month ago by Danu.
“Dan, I want to talk.”
Danu stopped the last mouthful into his mouth.
“Talk it, Bu.” then goes on eating it.
“Mother wants you to take Rika to your home.”
“Uhukk ... Uhukk...."
Danu coughed at her mother's words. Ayu offered a glass of water to Danu who was still coughing.
“This, mas. Slowly eat, let's not choke.” said Ayu.
Danu received a glass of water given by Ayu, his eyes had glanced at his wife, a darling that he could not have any expression on his wife's face. Whether upset, sad, or angry.
“Thank you, Darling.” Danu said sincerely and then put the glass back on the table.
Ayu continued to eat it again, although to be honest it was very difficult to swallow food. Like swallowing a thorn, he even tried to hold back his tears from falling down.
“Sorry, Mom. Danu can't do that.”
“Indeed why can't it? I don't mind, do I? Ayu also already knew that right, if you were married to Rika. Leave it here too, Kalai near the mother can also monitor if Rika is pregnant.”
Mind it? I don't know. Even if she said objection, would her mother-in-law understand? Ayu swallowed the word round and round in her head.
“Just this weekend Rika should move here. Kasian him if you have to be far away, you guys are, still newlyweds.”
“Tap—”
“Neither but but, anyway absolute mother's decision! You have to bring her here, mom wants to hurry nimang grandson.” Ms. Wati said firmly cutting Danu's words. He even considered it as if Ayu was just a statue or something transparent.
...***...
“Ay ...”
Ayu fluttered in her place as Dan hugged from behind. Both are now in their rooms.
“I'm sorry yes, for what mom said at home earlier yes.”
“Nothing, mas.”
“If for example you do not agree, I will try to persuade mom about Rika.”
And if that happens, then I will again receive hurtful words from your mother.
“Just bring him here.”
Danu let go of his embrace, turned his wife's body around.
“You're serious, Ay? You don't mind?”
That word again, even though it says objection even free, is not it.
“Nothing, I'm fine. I'll learn to accept him here. You must also be terrorized by mother continuously and fear it like the past. Mom fell ill from hunger strike.”
Danu curled her breath heavily.she knew this woman in front of her was not okay. However, Ayu has always hidden her feelings for the sake of her devotion to herself as a wife.
“Alright, if you allow. Maybe next week Mas will bring him here.”
Ayu nodded her head, then leaned against Danu's chest. She smelled her husband's body, which always made her calm and comfortable.
Either when else she would feel that, she also had to prepare her heart later after her honeymoon arrival to their home. Ayu realized, surely everything will never be the same again as before the presence of one of the two in their home.
