When Passion Is Greater Than Lust
Letter of agreement

Tonight all had gathered in the family room, Bude Dewi deliberately chose the night after the children of Siti and Dadang fell asleep, so that the three boys did not interfere with the meditation they would do.

Nurdin, Lastri and Dadang were astonished. But they prefer to stay still and wait for the Goddess bude to open her voice first. While Salsa and Siti who already know what things to tell bude feel relaxed. Although in the heart of Siti is somewhat reluctant to offer this agreement. Honestly speaking, Ten years more with Dadang bad things in his household he swallowed himself. However, when it comes to dealing with her in-laws and giving the requirements for this relationship to continue makes her feel bad . It was as if she really did not want to be her husband anymore.

But his determination was unanimous, he just kept his feelings, at least Dadang no longer arbitrarily throw hurtful words that could slowly erode his sanity.

" I deliberately gathered you here to discuss the continuation of Siti and Dadang's relationship as husband and wife. Also determine how the fate of their household in the future.."

Bude took a deep breath. His eyes glanced at Siti who looked down, as well as the figure of Dadang whose eyes are now fixed on her as if wanting more clarity of speech from her lips.

" I as a parent of Siti filed a letter of agreement. Although actually I myself still believe that Dadang is still the best for my son Siti. But , with the events of yesterday I am a little worried about the mental Siti, if later back one roof with Dadang. Therefore, this letter I made to keep my daughter to be treated better and her presence in the household can be a little more appreciated .."

Bude Dewi put two blue maps on the table right in the middle of them. because it is their position circling the table . Face each other.

" Please read Dang. Sir, buk ?"

Bude Dewi thrust the file directly towards both besan and also at his son-in-law.

It is the same . But deliberately made two parts so that later it can be used as a handle on each party who made a treaty between Dadang and also bude Dewi and Siti.

Lastri and Nurdin now focus on reading every point of this agreement.The initial points seemed to burden Dadang as the head of the family. But it turns out there also reminded Siti's position as a wife and also a mother.

" What does this have to be ? " Lastri asked while his eyes were still reading the agreement sheet.

" Wouldn't this be called coercion, whereas we know that marriage is not a written agreement ..

Wouldn't we use our hearts to live with a man called a husband.. If it is like this whether we do not harm the rights of husband and also marwahnya in the household. After all, he was still the head of the family. It doesn't feel ethical if there's an agreement like this.."

Nurdin touched Lastri's hand, trying to remind his wife to re-examine the contents of the covenant letter offered by Dewi.

" I understand if as a parent of Dadang this letter seems to limit it in educating and directing Siti to be better at behaving. But, I dare guarantee Siti will not take advantage of this agreement to step on her husband's self-esteem. Although he was only a high school graduate, but he was educated with adab and morals from childhood. Believe me I was just trying to save their relationship as husband and wife. And hope this will make them more introspective and put aside ego for the sake of children.." explained Dewi, trying to give understanding to the figure of his female besan.

Lastri took a long breath. Now his eyes he turned to the figure of Siti who was still at home looking down earlier.

Honestly reading this makes me feel uncomfortable. Is there not one more taste in your heart for Dadang . He has changed, Is my speech not enough for you ? " Lastri felt Siti's attitude again aroused her hatred for the figure of her daughter-in-law.

" i agree bude. I'll sign this deal. Thank you for giving me another chance. I promise that, regardless of whether or not this agreement exists, I will improve all of my degrading nature and attitude in Siti's heart as long as she becomes my wife. Bude can keep my promise..."

" But Dang...." Lastri was about to protest but Nurdin again touched the hand of the Wife hinting to keep Lastri quiet.

" The decision is entirely with you Dang. You will support whatever you make as a decision. Because this household you will run . We can only remind, but it's up to you .." You speak wisely while Lastri seems to glare unacceptable.

Bude Dewi looked at Dadang who now had a pen, ready to sign the agreement he had read earlier. Once ready and done, Dadang immediately offered to other family members to sign the letter as a witness.

Siti also signed. Although a little concerned with the words of his mother-in-law, but he steadily put his signature on the letter sheet.

In his heart he thought if it could be Lastri would behave like he used to, with this letter. But for the sake of the budenya and the children. Siti will try to kill her heartache by giving her a chance even in the form of a deal. Regardless of whether or not the thing he has done this, everything will look later in the future will be like what.

Lastri cries in the arms of Nurdin's husband . He would not be willing if his son's pride was trampled under this covenant. But she also confirmed her husband's remarks.The decision is entirely with Dadang. If Dadang agrees without protest then what can he do ?

Isn't the happiness of his grandchildren much more important now.

" I'm sorry Brother Dek ? Brother promises to take care of your heart and will also help you look after the children and take care of the house. Although it may be too late for you, but you're happy that you gave your brother a chance. .." Dadang looked at Siti sincerely. Although hesitant and still silent Siti still responds to Dadang's words with a small nod.

" We started everything from scratch yeah deck.."

Dadang is now smiling, although not getting the same reaction but Dadang still feels comfortable when Siti wants to return the gaze of her eyes.

Everything now feels relieved because despite the differences of opinion but now it ends beautifully and in accordance with the wishes of each party.

" Tomorrow we go home, right Dek ? let bude stay in our house. He has never stayed at home "

Siti looked towards the Bude Dewi who was replied by a nod by the middle-aged woman. Finally now the smile rises also thinly lipped Siti. at least the burden is slightly reduced now...
