"If you don't want to eat, will I kiss you?" said the man really.
There is no reason to make Aka anxious herself, encouraged to start approaching.
"Truly this, these lips can touch? If it's khilaf, don't blame me for asking for more," the god erodes the distance. Instantly Shalin immediately opened his eyes while getting up and slightly pushing dad@ her husband.
"That's a big deal," Shalin grumbled. Will not be upset even smile to see his wife who sewot, but according to.
The girl walked quickly leaving Aka who was still smiling in her room.
"Dek, wait for dong, don't be spitting too." The man slightly ran up to Shalin's steps.
Shalin, according to him, slowed down his steps, entering the main house and passing through the middle room, then sat there, because his small size welcomed the newlyweds, the loose central space is transformed into a lesehan with many special menus. It looks like the pesantren managers, and the extended family are sitting down with each other.
"What do you eat the same?" ask Aka for attention.
"Anyway, I'll take it myself, Mas," he said sungkan.
"No pa-pa I took it, you must be awkward, right?"
"Assalamu'alaikum everyone, sorry Zayyan is late!" greet the man who just entered in his white ash uniform.
"Waalaikumsalam, Zan, tumben back to cepet?" ask Ma'am Aida the most attentive sister.
"Yes Ma'am, the teacher knows that Zayyan wants to welcome the newlyweds" he said cheerfully. Aka just smiled faintly hearing her sister's jokes. While Shalin just looked down .
"Azmi, where are you going?" ask anyone in the room.
"Bang Azmi was in front, bring a motorbike there is a campus event he said."
"Udah saying goodbye earlier," interrupted Umi spoke up.
"Owh .. Yeah, it's lunchtime."
Shalin quietly breathed a sigh of relief hearing Azmi did not join lunch together, at least this afternoon, he did not have to meet in the same room with the person who still filled his heart.
"Enak, right? This is my beloved Umi cuisine, sometime you learn yes from him, I will definitely eat every day at home."
"Yes, Mas, sometime learning the same umi," resigned Shali assented. It's still a long time, so take it simple.
After lunch, Shalin helped Umi and Ma'am Aida clean up the rest of the dirty dishes and rearrange the buffet on the kitchen table. All the dirty utensils were handled by Umi Salma's domestic assistant. He helped cook for santri as well, along with santri sepuh who had lived there for a long time.
Shalin seemed to talk with Mbak Aida and Umi Salma, making Aka who saw a happy smile.
"Umi, Shalin to the room first yes," he said.
Towards the end of the night, Shalin hid in his room, staring at the laptop screen seriously, completing the heaped college tasks.
Aka himself was immediately busy with his activities in the pesantren, and also on campus. Even this afternoon I had attended a study with Islamic University lecturers. He had just returned home after the incident, finding his wife already under his warm blanket. Even Aka came in to say hello there was no reason, just right when Miss Darmi knocked on the door to be called dinner, he said there was no reason. His wife had fallen asleep through dinner.
Aka terbesit wanted to wake up, but felt sorry when she saw his wife sleep so soundly. She would wait for Shalin to wake up and take him to dinner together. Unexpectedly both of them passed just like that, sleeping until dawn.
As usual they do morning activities together although still awkward. Both Aka and Shalin still feel foreign but try close, more precisely Will be more active initiating.
"Mas, I'm leaving first huh?" Inevitably, like it or not, Shalin had to get used to saying goodbye and leaving messages if he wanted to leave the house, mandatory law. The woman grabbed her husband's hand and said goodbye. Aka this time only able to gently rub the top of his head, want to act more afraid of rejection again, it must be slow but sure, let Shalin adapt first to this situation.
"Any bear, huh?" Shalin did not say, but just came out.
"Dek, wait a moment," said Aka calling. "Where's your ring? How not to use?" Aka examined his wife's fingers. Shalin immediately pulled his hand in confusion.
"There was in the room, afraid of missing so I could escape," he reasoned.
"Fear of missing out, or fear of our marriage being exposed to so many people on campus, or still want to be single?" the question is quite striking.
"There really is a Mas, don't believe it?" challenge Shalin upset.
"If it's in the room, take it on, I don't like it later someone will assume another about your status, and it happens like the first time we met, he said, it's a bad thing, God's good to take care of you, and bring us together."
