Marvel woke up to the sound of his phone that did not stop, he took the phone from the top lazily. Seeing that the perpetrator who made his phone just kept shaking was his own brother, Juan.
Marvel glanced at the wall clock that showed at 5am, Marvel actually did not understand why Juan called him at an hour like this because it is not usually Juan to do this.
“What's up, brother?” Marvel picked up a call from Juan, waiting for Juan to say he meant to call Marvel this early.
“Mama and Papa will be home.”
That one short sentence alone managed to make Marvel rise from his lying position, for a moment he glanced at Milla who was still sound asleep next to him.
Marvel knows exactly why Juan called him this morning, which is a warning to Marvel. That their parents would return after many years they lived separately in two different countries.
Most likely the return of their parents will bring problems, Marvel did not forget how his parents used to oppose the relationship of his brother, Juan with the girl Juan loved.
Marvel is worried that this will happen to Marvel and Milla. But Marvel will not stay silent, Marvel will not let his parents interfere in his household life, not after what his parents have done to Juan, Monica and Marvel themselves.
Marvel disconnected the phone after the conversation with Juan was over, Marvel again glanced at Milla who was still asleep. Marvel hopes that no major problems will befall her marriage to Milla, who is only a week old.

Juan looked at his phone, he had just finished contacting his younger brother—Marvel, to remind his sister about their parents.
Juan is worried that Marvel's marriage to Milla will be disrupted or worse still destroyed in the hands of their own parents. Given that the love story of Juan alone destroyed in the hands of his parents.
Juan had to marry the woman he did not love and leave her pregnant lover.
Somehow the news of his former lover and the news of their son. Juan did not know, and he was ashamed of himself for being an irresponsible man.
Let's just hope their parents don't destroy Marvel's happiness the way their parents destroyed Juan's.
Juan glanced at the room where his wife was sleeping, and they slept separately. But now his wife is pregnant and his condition is very weak, making Juan kept in mind by his former lover.
Did her ex-boyfriend experience the same thing?

“What's Marvel, why are you asking me and Riko to be ready? Where are you taking us?” Milla who is neatly asked Marvel, he has been dating himself and also helps Riko dress neatly.
“Meet my parents.” Marvel replied briefly while taking the keys to his car, Milla was shocked after hearing Marvel's answer.
“We'll meet them now? Didn't you yourself say that your Father and Mother live abroad?”
Marvel turned around and looked at Milla, looking at his wife with a serious look. “They came home suddenly, hear Milla.. If my parents say something bad or whatever it is I hope you don't put it in my heart. You understand?”
Milla nodded her head, though, Milla remembered what Marvel had said about her parents that her parents were very stubborn and always arranged the lives of their children according to what they wanted no matter what their children were tormented by desires they are or not.
Milla also recalled that Marvel had previously told her that Juan was one of the victims of their parents' greed and indifference.
During the stay Marvel contracted beside Milla's contract first, for 6 months when Marvel away from his brother and sister when it happened a lot to Juan because of his parents.
And will fight for the blessing of his father-in-law.

Riko did not dare to welcome the arrival of Marvel's parents, he remembered the grandmother of his biological father who always treated him badly. Riko was afraid that this new grandmother and grandfather would also treat her just as badly.
Riko continued to hide behind Marvel's feet, letting the adults welcome the presence of two parents whose hair had partially bleached.
Although hiding, Riko still put his ears well to hear the conversation of the adults.
“I thought you guys wouldn't pick us up, considering how much you hate us.” A woman whose face had wrinkled that snorted cynically, Riko increasingly hid herself.
“Ma.. can't our meeting not start with a quarrel.” Monica the youngest sister among the three brothers raised her voice, “Aren't you guys here to see us?”
“We are here because Helena's father asked us to come here, Helena is pregnant and she wants all the families to come together to welcome the presence of new members in two families.” This time their father answered, making Monica sad to hear it.
“If not at the request of Om Vigor, Papa and Mama would not want to bother here. After all, Papa and Mama came here not because they wanted to welcome the birth of Kak Juan and Kak Helena's children but just wanted to make Om Vigor satisfied so that Om Vigor would continue to cooperate with the company Papa!”
“Shut up you Monica! the bigger instead of the better you are the more disrespectful to your own parents—”
“Let's stop this debate and go home, it's not nice to see others noisily at an airport like this.” Marvel tried to stop the debate, but with him raising his voice actually made his parents turn to focus on him and realize that there are others among them besides his three children.
“Who is he?” Myra—Mother Marvel pointed at Milla and Riko in turn, it seems that Myra is not happy with the existence of Milla and Riko.
“She Milla, my wife. And this is Riko, our son.”
“A-what?! are you married?! What the hell is this, you married without our knowledge, are you crazy Marvel?!” Myra shouted, she really did not accept. Of course Myra did not accept knowing her second son was married, myra returns with her husband in addition to seeing Helena Juan's pregnant wife as well as Myra has planned to marry Marvel to the child of their partner.
Marvel is married. Myra was angry to hear it. Myra could not accept Marvel marrying a woman whose origins were unclear and even worse the woman did not bring any benefits to them. It's useless and it shouldn't happen.
“Can we go home now? You said you wanted to see Helena, Helena was waiting at home.” Juan turned around to leave them just like that, hating to see the endless debate.
Riko ran after Juan from behind, though he was afraid of Juan but he was even more afraid of his new Papa's grandmother and grandfather. So he chose to go after Juan rather than remain there to see the adult's quarrel.
Juan who realizes Riko is following her from behind tries to slow her pace so that Riko has no trouble following her. Juan did not agree initially with the marriage of Marvel and Milla, but that does not mean Juan will hate Riko and treat Riko badly let alone side with his parents and destroy the marriage of Marvel whose marriage is only a week old.

“It looks like your parents don't like me very much.” Milla who walked behind Marvel voiced her thoughts, she deliberately kind of lowered her voice so as not to be heard by Marvel's parents who walked in front following Monica.
“They have always been like that, all you need to remember is one. The married are us, who live also us so do not be influenced by the words of others about our household. As long as we trust each other, love and respect each other that's enough.” Marvel grabbed Milla's hand, making Milla who had previously walked behind her side by side with her.
“Now let's catch up with Riko, I'm afraid she's not comfortable with Brother Juan. Given how stiff and hard Juan.” is
Milla nodded her head and tightened her hands with Marvel, they walked side by side. During the walk Milla looked at the back of her in-laws from behind.
In Milla's heart prayed, hopefully someday her relationship with her in-laws will improve. I hope that.
