The two look at meet. The princess stopped her steps in disbelief that the man who was still her husband was in her house. Men who make their emotions jumbled, angry and longing at the same time, the mouth feels can not bear to curse. Here is his place of authority he has the right to do anything. A devil smile rose from the corner of his lips. However, it instantly disappeared after seeing both of its parents.
"Sit down and accompany your husband" said the mother after putting a drink on the table. "Mom same dad wants to go out first. Come on, sir, come with me for a second?" take mom and pull dad's hand and get out of the house.
"Where are you going?" asked the Princess confused by the behavior of her parents who suddenly wanted to come out.
"Just keep your husband company, I'll just be a minute." Mom stepped out.
"Master, I'll be back." Sakti resigned, because he did not want to be in the middle of a cold war couple. But he didn't really leave before he got an order from the boss. Maybe we'll find an inn first.
"Comm ... " Sakti got out of the house immediately.
Now there are both of them. The princess still stood in her place. Then he sat down on the sofa because his legs were starting to ache. No one talks to each other even say hello not both of them have done, only two eyes glanced at each other and two eyes stared intensely.
The princess glanced at her husband and turned her gaze back, but the man was still looking at her.
"I want to go to the bathroom" said Hardian, the opening line the man spoke was not an apology, persuasion or seduction.
Without answering the Princess stood up and walked inside. Hardian followed him from behind with a faint smile.
"Come in!"
Hardian gawked at the bathroom that was near the kitchen. "I'm just going to the bathroom in your room." Because I want to hold you, Hardian continued in his heart.
"This is a village not a city. There is no bathroom in the room" the Princess grumbled as she stepped back to the front. "Go to the hotel!" continued ketus.
Hardian scratched his nape that was not itchy at all. It seems he spoke wrong.
"Sorry, I-"
"Assalamu'alaikum." Someone from outside the house said a greeting, indicating there were guests.
"Waalaikumsalam," replied the Princess as she stepped forward.
"You home yet?" ask the man who is none other than the ex-husband of the Princess.
"Yes, Mas. Just came. What's up, Mas?" ask the princess because they had met before.
"This, I just want to drop this off. Your favorite sausage martabak. Surely that's special."
"No need to bother, Mom."
"Take it as a sign of gratitude because you've helped me."
"Then, the Princess so delicious can be free," said the Princess without shame. Both giggle. After that, Yanto said goodbye and the Princess entered the house again with a big smile and found free food.
Hardian looked at him dislikefully. He saw and heard the conversation between the two of them.
Only get free martabak, one anyway. He's very happy. Just a little thing can make him smile.
Hardian sat down in front of the Princess.
"Is it really good?"
"Try it, uncle will definitely like it!" Hardian took one piece after quite a long time staring at the food. Chew slowly and then swallow it.
"I'm sorry..," said Hardian. "I shouldn't have forced you." Yes Hardian already knew the truth, even so Hardian did not want the Princess to do violence to parents no matter the reason. However, he is furious when he finds out that his aunt accidentally knocked him down.
"I've forgiven you, Uncle. It is not good to hold a grudge" said the Princess with a smile. Hardian smiled as well.
"Come, we're home!" take Hardian a second time.
The princess smiled back. "Where else are you going? Here is my home. A house that won't kick me out." The princess said softly at the end of the word.
"Sorry me - -"
"Back off! I'm very self-aware, it's not my place" the Princess said. He had thought long enough about his relationship with Hardian. Finally he gave up, different caste relations are difficult to maintain. No matter how much love in his heart would be unable to erode that distance.
Hardian only looked at the woman who was trying to smile with an illegible look.

Nightfall.
"Uncle, still here?" ask Princess. He thought the man who had come out of his house was going to come home soon was still sitting on the porch.
"I'll go home, if my wife wants to come home with me."
It was sweet, but the mouth kicked me out.
"My path to return home is closed" replied the Princess by insinuating the husband.
Hardian smiled at the wife's insinuation. He felt sorry, but the rice had become porridge. Regretting is useless. But he will try to fix it.
The man pulled his wife's hand to sit next to him. On the terrace of the house there is a small cot made of bamboo.
"It turns out the night here is very beautiful, the atmosphere is calm."
"It is more precisely quiet, dark and only the sound of crickets" continued the Princess made the man laugh softly.
Hardian embraces his wife's waist. "Let's enjoy this beautiful night together" Hardian said as he looked up at the sky. While the woman was surprised by the touch of her husband's hand, the woman's reflexes saw the face of the man beside her, who unfortunately looked more handsome and younger than usual. The man only used a regular t-shirt and long jeans.
"My face is handsome." Spontaneous Princess turned her gaze over, following the man looking at the sky with a thumping heart.
So stupid. I have not been seduced by my heart, let alone seduced. Remember what happened yesterday when he forced you to apologize and he rudely kicked you out.
Instantly the Princess woke up from her seat, staring at the man back. "Go home, it's night!"
"I know I've done you a lot of wrong. Give me one more chance. I love you, can you feel it. Ilove you. I miss you so much it feels like I want to die."
"But, uncle is alive."
"Can you just shut up, I'm not a guy who says love easily and I'm not good at seducing either. All I know is I just love you. I love the woman who has been my wife. Will you live with me forever? Come with me and be the mother of my children." Hardian looked at the woman while waiting for the woman to answer. But the woman was silent.
"Answer!" pinta Hardian after quite a while he waited for the woman to let out her voice.
"Can I talk? Uncle, tell me to be quiet," asked the Princess without looking at the handsome face of the man beside her.
