WEARY
departure Nova to Germany
They arrived home around 20:00.
In the car Rea spent in silence. Only occasionally did he speak, even when Bram asked.
It seems that silence is indeed the right choice when the heart is troubled.
Not angry at Bram, but thinking more about the words of his mother-in-law.
Not only the hate words he heard, but also the insult words.
Do rich men not deserve to be with poor women?
Does a man with a degree not deserve a woman who only graduated from High School?
Again the economic gap and social status that became a problem, the inner Rea bitter.
Didn't her mother-in-law see her efforts all this time?
It was not that Rea never tried to get close to her mother-in-law, even often.
But her mother-in-law who always keep her distance, as if reluctant to know or was already too familiar.
Knowing only through his prejudices.
***
Rea always strives to be the best for Bram, though Rea knows he won't be able to be like Bram's mother. Not as good as her mother, not as good as her mother, not even as beautiful as her mother.
But she always tries to make Bram happily marry her, be her home to go home, be her back when fragile, and be her source of strength when she gets tired.
But Bram's mother always wanted to set things up, she wanted their household to go her way.
Not unhappy when her mother-in-law came to visit, but Rea just felt depressed by everything her mother said.
Cuisine that is not very suitable for the taste of Bram.
The arrangement of home knickknacks that are far from neat.
Even..
She can't please her husband. Don't look classy, not beautiful.
That's what her mother-in-law said!
***
"Hey, what do you think, honey? Any issues?" Suddenly Bram broke his daydream.
"No, I'm just tired. Just a little dizzy" he answered while massaging his head and then lay his head on the headboard. Bram pulled him into an embrace, leaning his head against the chest of his field.
"Is there anything you're thinking?" He looked at Rea with a worried look.
"No, I'm happy because I'm on holiday tomorrow, right? She answered while looking at her husband's face.
"Yes Dear. I also checked the sales files with my mother. There's nothing to worry about.
Tomorrow go where you want to go." Bram replied while kissing her forehead.
"Emhh .. usually if dizziness is a sign of lack of exercise right?" Bram immediately hugged her and smiled mischievously.
"Ihhh, Mas pervert!" Chuckling he tried to let go of Bram's embrace.
"I want to eat you" Bram spoke in a hoarse voice.
Just wanting to speak, Bram had already silenced his lips with a hot kiss.
Until the kiss came down to the neck, and produced a different sensation for her.
The hand that was hugging had also moved.
Unknowingly they have sunk into the beautiful paradise of the world.

Drtts..Drrt..Drtts
The alarm sounds, indicating it is 05:10.
Tied her hair that was broken and did not know the shape.
Walk towards the bathroom, and get a towel. Take the primary purpose.
After the bath, he woke Bram. Then hurry to cook.
Cooking Bram's favorite food might be a good idea he thought. Seeing Bram eat voraciously, able to improve his bad mood.
Squid saus black pepper, fried tempeh, and do not forget the terasi sambal.
After everything was ready, he arranged it on a glass dining table surrounded by 4 brown teak chairs.
There are not many trinkets in their kitchen room, only cooking utensils and typical kitchen tools are needed.
The kitchen room is rather narrow, because indeed they have not planned to renovate it since the first time this house was purchased. About 5 months ago.
Their home is relatively simple, compared to the home of his brothers Bram.
Minimalist house with a size of 15x12, there are only three bedrooms with each bathroom in it, one family room, one living room, and one kitchen.
On the terrace there are only two bamboo chairs with tables.
Next to the left terrace, there is a garage that only fit one car and one motorcycle.
On the right terrace, there is a mango tree and several types of flowers.
Simple, but very comfortable for both couples who just taste the beauty of marriage.
***
Now Rea has arrived at one of the malls in Jakarta, with Bram of course.
From the beginning of entering and arriving at the bookstore, Bram always held his hand.
Being a newlywed is indeed as beautiful and fun as this turns out, Inner Rea.
It is fitting that her mother always said, the beginning of marriage is happiness.
But, unfortunately, his mother did not see him get married. His mother died too soon and went to the Divine, which made him an orphan now.
Rea wanted to buy a novel, as the supply of her novel was already depleted at home.
Reading a novel is a filler of emptiness when Bram is working, behind it reading is his hobby.
Books with various titles. Whether it's about business, general knowledge, cooking recipes, literature, or how to care for a baby.
Caring for Babies.
Yes, Rea's gaze fell to the title of the book. Moments later her mother-in-law's words returned. Makes his mood and mind go awry.
Breath also seemed crowded when he remembered that.
It turned out that it was as easy as it made her fragile, just by remembering the words of her mother-in-law.
A fool? Might as well.
"Emm, I don't think I'm interested in buying a novel. What if we buy vegetables, Mom?"
"Don't you know, honey, isn't there anything interesting to read?"
"Not Mas, is not. Only if I think about the money dear if bought a novel, at home there is still nothing I have not finished reading. Meningan money is only made for other purposes" Put it on Bram.
If he stays here, it's not the calm he'll get.
"It's okay, the money is already love you. For the purposes of the house is different money darling" Bram is a little pushy, because rarely he refuses if related to the novel. Reading a novel is her hobby.
"No need, I'm thirsty anyway. Let's get a drink first, yeah."
"Don't really buy it?"
"Yes" he answered with a smile.
The smile that Rea always tried to carve for the man who had loved and cherished her these extraordinary pants.
Her husband, Bramono Praditya.
