The widow is my wife
He's Hak Tau

"You've never had sex?"

One sentence of questions that were directly addressed by Ibu Halimah when Luna had just sat down while visiting her rukonya.

The second day after Jaelani told Jenifer that Chandra had a business trip out of town made Luna want to visit her mother's shophouse and meet Radit, her foster child.

Luna grimaced at her mother's question, she was at a loss to answer how.

Intention he visited his mother's shophouse to please his heart but instead got an attack of questions from his mother.

"Mother's Witch, Lun. You guys haven't had sex so far?" press Halimah again who finally answered the head by Luna.

"God.. How can you love?" ask Halimah's mother still can't believe it.

"Yeah.. Mas Chandra hasn't wanted a time, ma'am." replied Luna with a ring adorning her face.

"Chandra's not ready yet or you're not ready?" ask Halimah Mother again who makes Luna now down while squeezing her hands that are interlocked.

"Mother, you know that anyway.. That Luna answered 'already' I don't know either, right?" ask Luna at last.

"Mom knows Lun.. I know the difference." answered Halimah's mother gently while holding Luna's hand.

"What's the difference, ma'am?" ask Luna curiously.

"There's.. Later if I tell you you think you want to lie again with Mom." replied Ibu Halimah who made Luna laugh softly.

"Ibuuuuu.." luna's sulking that made Halimah's mother pinched her cheeks.

"Have you told Nak Chandra your real status?" mother Halimah asked again after silence struck both of them.

Luna, who had been sulking, asked to be embraced by her mother, spoke no more than to enjoy the warm embrace of the woman who had brought her into the world.

Luna always longed for the hook, a treat she had rarely gotten since she married Chandra.

"I mean Mother? We've already collected my files.. If Mas Chandra is observant when he checks it, it should be without me telling him he knows, Mom." replied Luna while thinking.

Chandra doesn't know, Mom. She still thinks I'm a widow. But I let it go. Inner Luna.

"Luna's... Chandra's son is a busy man. Yesterday the one who asked for your file was her secretary, it could be that she didn't check it out dear." said Halimah's mother.

"What the hell, Mom?" asked Luna while looking up at her mother.

"Don't tell me you forgot.."

"Mother... Chandra's son is now your husband, he has every right to know who you are and who Radit is.

He has the right to know the true status of the woman he married. He is also entitled to you.

You want her to misunderstand and get angry when you have sex and she just finds out your real status?" mother asked Halimah while stretching her arms, diving into her son's beautiful bead of eyes.

"Luna doesn't know, Mom. How confused should Luna be?"

"Why should you be confused? Honestly, that's better, baby.. It's better to know Chandra before you have sex than to know after you have sex.

Hiding that status is not good, let alone lying with your original status to your own husband." explained Halimah again reassured Luna.

But we got married because we had to and Mas Chandra also told me to hide our marital status, Mom, in college, is that not good either? then why would Chandra do it and ask me like that? luna asked.

especially earlier? having sex? just sleep we're limited to roll right away, ma'am.

"You also have to tell him about Radit, I'm sure he's also confused about Radit who has never slept with you" explained Halimah's mother again.

"Mom know? Chandra asked me that time, Mom. But I said that Radit used to sleep the same, Mother." replied Luna while scratching her neck which suddenly felt itchy.

"That means Nak Chandra is curious too, right, dear? Therefore, your other lecturers also know that if you are still a girl, you better be honest with your husband before his lecturer friends tell him about your original status which will make him disappointed with you.

Taking care of a husband's heart, it's the duty of a dear wife." explained Halimah's mother again while arranging Luna's hair and then tuck it behind the ear.

"Yes.. You have to be honest, dear." Halimah's mother said as she rubbed the top of Luna's head, reassuring her that Chandra had the right to know who she was, considering they had been married for almost a month but had never had sex.

***

His conversation with his mother at that time now re-energized in Luna's mind.

But, when she now stands face to face with her husband, she is still confused as to how.

honestly Luna.. You have to be honest. What is the weight of being honest with your own husband? luna's mind continued to churn while looking at Chandra.

"Lun.. Lun.. Hey, Lun?" Chandra holds Luna's arm to wake her from her daydream.

"Eh, I-iya Mas." Luna gasped.

"What are you daydreaming about? How serious was that?"

"I'm thinking about the same thing I wanted to tell you, Mom."

"Ohya? What do you want to tell me?" Chandra just remembered that Luna had not told me.

"Emmmmm.." Luna was still thinking while rubbing both of her arms because she was holding back the cold that she had just felt.

Incidentally, Chandra did arrive home when the clock referred to the number nine nights. And now the two were chatting for almost two hours, meaning they were chatting on the balcony at eleven in the evening. The weather was getting cold and inevitable.

"We go in first, I'll take a shower first. We'll just talk in the room later." Chandra broke up when he saw his wife was almost shivering from the cold.

Luna nodded, and the two of them entered the room.

"Maaaass.. Banguuun!" luna's shout woke Chandra up by pulling her arm.

Last night, while Chandra was taking a bath, Luna made a warm tea for her husband in the kitchen.

Arriving in the kitchen, Reyna called her friend.

Reyna told me that she had just stopped by the shop where Ibu Halimah was trading and Reyna was looking for her to ask where she lived.

Getting a call from Reyna made Luna forget that she was making tea for her husband and finally the tea was cold and then she heated the water back to make more tea for her husband.

Upon her return to the room, her husband had fallen asleep and Luna could only sniff out putting the warm tea on the table by the sofa in her room.

"Hmmm.. What's the matter Lun?" chandra asked half-consciously.

He slept late last night, and he didn't want to wake up because the clock was still showing at six in the morning.

"I want to take Mas somewhere, Would you take me there?"

"Make what? It's still morning." declined Chandra and closed his eyes again.

"But it has to do with what I wanted to tell you last night, Mas. He went to sleep last night."

"You don't go anywhere" said Chandra, because after bathing he waited for his wife to fall asleep.

"I made tea, Mas."

"Make tea? It took me half an hour?" ask Chandra while raising her eyebrows.

"Hehe.. Last night Reyna called Mas,"

"Well, where are we going?" chandra asked, opening her blanket.

"Later to tell you, Mas.." replied Luna while preparing to use her skincare.

Seriate...
