THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Lega

Ratna's parents did not mind Rio who had been an orphan since childhood. They already knew that from Ratna.

Talks continued until the establishment of marriage and reception. Unfortunately, Ratna's parents' decision was not what Rio expected.

Rio and the Via family are hoping that Rio and Ratna's marriage can take place in the near future. However, Ratna's grandfather had a different view. He used the calculations of the weton (birth day) bride. Ratna's father supported it.

Mr. Haris has patiently said that basically all days are good. It all depends on need.

However, Ratna's grandfather insisted on using the weton count. If not, it is feared that his granddaughter's household has misfortune. In fact, they may even get divorced.

Rather than the atmosphere becoming hot, Mr. Haris relented. Rio was forced to follow the decision of Ratna's grandfather and parents. Their marriage will be held in 5 months.

Before maghrib, they say goodbye. Pak Haris and Bu Aisyah and Eyang Probo returned to the residence of Eyang Probo. The others, heading towards Via's house.

After Maghrib, they talked about Rio and Ratna's wedding plans. Via and Farhan are ready to help fully, both from cost and energy.

“Mas Farhan don't bother. Rio is not good. The important Kabul ijab. I think Ratna also agreed as it was delivered, making an event at Ratna's house only, enough,” said Rio.

“True, Nak Farhan. Rio's been helped by the application process alone, I'm very grateful. So, I think we're on the Ratna family's plan, just in Ratna's house. No need to rent any kind of building. Later Rio stay to help the cost of the maintenance needs at home Ratna.” Bu Aminah chimed in.

Via and Farhan looked at each other. They're a little confused.

“Take it easy, Rio. Marriage can be once in a lifetime. If you can, make something memorable. My brother is ready. Don't think about the macem. Just focus on the same Kabul ijab,” Azka chirps.

“Let's not wrong just, huh?” sindir Via's.

Meli giggled at her sister-in-law's insinuation. He remembered the moment of their kabul ijab some time ago. (Details of Azka-Meli kabul ijab processions can be read in CS1 episode 133)

Azka instantly turned sullen. Face reddened. He glanced at his two smiling in-laws while looking at him.

“How about Via ask Ratna what she wants. If Ratna wants a lively reception in the building, you plan! Just think of it as Rio's side. And Rio's son don't have to worry. Via and Farhan sincerely help. Aren't you, Via?” Miss Lena spoke up.

“I think Aunt Lena's proposal is good. Let Via have a chat with Ratna about this reception. After knowing Ratna's wishes, then we can make the next plan,” said Via.

Rio seemed to still doubt. He felt that the sunkan was troublesome for the Via family.

“Already, Bro! You don't have to feel sad. Mas Farhan and Mbak Via are happy if they can help. If according to plan, we can together make the show,” said Azka.

“Indeed Nak Azka wants to make another reception?” ask Ms. Fatimah.

“Iya, Mom. God willing after graduation to make a reception to announce my wedding and Meli. At the moment most brothers and neighbors know that I am married. I can chop my friends if not tell them,” said Azka while shaking her shoulder.

Rio laughed seeing the way Azka explained her reason for holding the reception. His awkwardness began to melt.

“Means Dad to Jogja again, nih. Fun, take the train again!” chirps Mr. Roni.

“Ih, Daddy tacky deh.” Meli poked her lips.

“Sstt, can't be the same old man,” whispered Azka.

“OK, Rio agreed with Aunt Lena's proposal earlier, right? My wife talked to Ratna first, then we thought about the next step,” Farhan said.

Rio finally nodded. Aminah also agreed. The nearly half-century-old woman wiped away the tears that had piled up in the fertilizer.

After the prayer, Rio and Bu Aminah were escorted to the orphanage. Meanwhile, Mr. Roni and Bu Fatimah returned to the house of Eyang Probo. Azka and Meli, of course, returned to Mr. Haris' house.

As soon as she arrived, Azka ran towards the toilet on the 1st floor. Meli was left behind.

“Mas Azka why, anyway? The mules? Diarrhea?” muttered Meli.

Meli locked the gate and front door. Then, he rushed to the room.

“Honey, where are you?” azka shouted as she came out of the toilet.

Azka checked the front door, it was locked. From behind the curtain, Azka saw a gate that had been tightly closed and locked. He breathed a sigh of relief. Melia is in the house. He decided to go to his room.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Azka while opening the door.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Meli who was sitting while applying night cream.

“Huff, it is in the room,” hiss Azka.

“Mas is afraid someone will kidnap you when you are left on the terrace. Sorry, my stomach was actually mules so immediately run to the bathroom.” Azka regretted her actions.

“Kok parno that? Time on the porch of his own home kok kidnapped?”

Azka did not answer. He approached Meli who had finished applying night cream.

“Once we become part of the Wijaya family, we must maintain vigilance. Anything is possible. I'm not scaring, but that's the fact. Various threats have been accepted. I heard the pain of Eyang Probo too because someone had infiltrated and sabotaged Eyang's food for several months. Fortunately, Mas Edi's men have revealed it.”

Meli gawked at Azka's explanation. He didn't think the risk was that big.

“It's worth it that they had the body guard watch over my family too. If mom and dad find out, they'll be worried. So rich people do not like gini, often di*bikin was-was” thought Meli.

“Already, don't think too deeply. Mas Farhan has ordered his men to watch over his family, including us.”

Meli nodded. He got up and walked to the bed. The curves of his body were obvious because he was wearing a sateen-style nightgown.

Azka swallowed her saliva.  He immediately followed Meli to the bed.

“Honey, you woke him up,” Azka whispered.

Meli looked at Azka confusedly. He did not understand Azka's direction.

“Yang is in here. He wants to be pampered,” Azka whispered again.

Azka grabbed Meli's hand. He slowly directed the hand to touch the sensitive part of Azka. Meli. Face blushes.

“Ih, Mas Azka,” said Meli shyly.

“We need to work hard in order to realize the wishes of our parents,” Azka said.

Meli remembered the conversation with Via. He immediately shifted his position to face Azka.

“Mas, Via can ask?”

“Of course, Honey. What do you want to ask?”

Meli smiled gently. Out of nowhere, he lands a fleeting kiss on Azka's cheek.

“Eh, can't wait?” chirps Azka.

“Ih, it's not so. Emmm, Mas Azka already wants a momongan? Soon?” ask Meli.

Azka put on a serious face. He fixed his position to be comfortable.

“If I'm not in a hurry. Let everything go like running water. If indeed in the near future God gives our trust to be parents, yes just accept. If not, be patient. We leave everything to God,”ucap Azka sage.

Meli. Azka's speech was almost the same as what Via had said.

“Then, how about Meli lecture? Meli wants to finish college Meli until graduating S-1,” said Meli.

“Yes is okay. Nor does it prohibit you from going to college. As you said, it doesn't matter before you graduate already pregnant. The important thing can be for time.”

Meli seemed to doubt. He looked closely at the husband.

“But, Mas. Who would have our child if Meli went to college? Mother?”

“It is better as soon as Mas settle back in Jogja, you settle here. I'm doing my graduation, I'm back here. So, my wife is under my watch, I'll take care of you, baby. Likewise, if you are pregnant with my child. God willing I will be a husband. After birth, we can hire a baby sitter as long as you have not graduated.”

Azka's explanation relieved Meli. The fidget that had swirled in his mind had already stepped aside. He could smile back.

As soon as Meli is seen without any burden, Azka begins to launch an attack. His hands began to guerrilla behind the sateen cloth that Meli was wearing. His lips won't lose. The face of Meli newly doles night cream. The sweep turned to the neck and nape, making Meli flounder.

Before lust took complete control, Azka whispered into Meli's ear to pray. Before long they dissolve in halal worldly pleasures.

They don't care about the room lights that are still brightly lit. They also do not care about the Meli device that constantly sounds.
