Belva was hit by unrest when he did not get news from Gilang. It has been two days of Gilang's return to Jakarta, but Gilang has not also renewed it.
Belva's request to be notified after Gilang arrived in Jakarta in fact only considered last wind. Not when you get to Jakarta. Even Gilang had not contacted him for two days.
I don't know if it's busy. Or indeed forget if Belva has become his wife.
Belva also did not dare to contact Gilang first. The reason Gilang married her made Belva no longer dare to be as aggressive as when chasing Gilang first.
Belva doesn't know what to do with this wedding. It's true what Vita is worried about. Her son, who turned nineteen when she announced her graduation about two months ago, did not understand marriage.
He'd better go to college, play, shop with his friends.
But Belva does not regret what has been his decision. College with married status also does not matter, right?
Belva opened the website of a college page where she enrolled in college, without her parents' knowledge. He did this a month after his graduation. He also went through a series of tests to get into the university.
It's just a fad, actually. His wry brain made him feel lazy to go back to school.
But who would have thought that he was accepted into one of the top universities in Surabaya? Belva was confused by himself. Stay in college or devote her whole life to being a wife. Like his wish from the beginning.
"Lecture, Belva. Udah, deh, think of his marriage later. Enjoy his youth. College, sightseeing, snacks, shopping. The time of his son Pak Darmawan education only up to doang High School?"
Belva blinked her eyes quickly, making her look so cute. Don't just know Eliza, his best friend, that Belva is officially a wife.
His marriage that was deliberately not published even held very private did not make people know about it. Even Belva's own best friend. I don't know what happens if Eliza finds out about Belva's marriage.
"Emang so his son Mr. Darmawan must go to college, huh?"
"Yes if Lo no provision of education who will be the successor to Papa Lo's property that there is no limit?"
"Lebay, uh. Money has no limits."
"It's so rich. Dear son rada-rada sangklek."
"What, anyway, El? Ngeselin!"
Eliza laughed seeing Belva look upset. "Don't waste the opportunity. Spate the re-list. It's not long."
"Yes, baffles!"

Gilang smiled faintly seeing Belva still sound asleep under his thick blanket.
To complete his work in Surabaya, Gilang no longer had to stay at the hotel. Like coming home, he already has a home to go to. It was Belva's parents' second home.
He came to Belva because Belva is now his wife.
Guilt in Gilang's heart felt enlarged when he watched the innocent face of Belva who was sound asleep. Not that he forgot not to inform Belva upon arrival in Jakarta three days ago.
It's just that Gilang is not used to doing that. Gilang used to be alone with no one to tell besides Mama and her papa. That will also Gilang do if Yunita has been nagging along the train tracks.
Gilang was still staring at Belva's face as Belva wriggled and opened her eyes slowly. "Sister Gilang?" ask with eyes that are not yet fully open.
"No ah, just halu." Belva turned her back to Gilang and covered her face with a blanket.
"Oh, how come you're sleeping again? It's late afternoon, wake up!" the word Gilang makes both eyes of Belva open completely.
"Loh, really, Brother Gilang? I thought I was just halu. Sorry, Brother."
Gilang laughed a little. "It's okay."
"So when is it, how come I didn't hear it?"
"Not long. You slept really well didn't hear me coming."
Belva nodded in confirming. "Don't you say you've eaten?"
Gilang shook his head. "Not yet."
"Yes, let's eat first. Budhe cooked a lot of that."
Budhe is a call to the housekeeper at Belva's house.
"What event is there, cook a lot? Didn't Papa and Mama go to Denpasar?"
Belva smiled broadly. "I have a feeling, anyway, Brother Gilang wants to come. Usually also three days once brother to Surabaya. So I asked budhe to cook a little. Get down, yuk."
Without waiting for Gilang, Belva immediately went out of the room to the dining table. Where there are many kinds of side dishes and vegetables that Belva asks to be cooked to welcome the arrival of Gilang.
"The rice is not much, Bel," said Gilang to Belva who was spooning rice to Gilang plate.
"Can."
"Wear fried chicken with tempeh. Plus good onion chili, brother. Cobain, deh."
"The patch is not much. I don't really like spicy food."
"Oh, okay. Noted. Next time make the sauce does not need much if so. Goodbye, Brother Gilang."
Belva full smile when giving a plate of rice that is complete with vegetables and side dishes to Gilang.
Gilang was stunned. But immediately dismissed it. The fear of that feeling is only temporary and has made Belva happy. If only for a moment, Gilang was afraid that Belva felt hurt by Gilang's attitude.
"You don't eat, Bel?"
"Not hungry yet, brother. I ate out there."
"okay."

Gilang sat by the pool, waiting for Belva to finish swimming. The young girl who became Gilang's wife looked so good at playing in the water.
Swim here and there without getting tired. It can even stay underwater for more than five minutes.
Sure oes. Belva has trained in swimming since she was five years old.
Gilang immediately held out a towel as Belva rose to the surface and sat on the edge of the pool. Kimono towel to cover Belva's crazy curves that suddenly made Gilang swallow.
"Udah swims. I was afraid you were in the wind for too long playing water."
Belva chuckles small. "Ordinary, really, the swimming is like this long."
Gilang reached out his hand to help Belva to stand up. Without hesitation Belva received the helping hand.
"Sorry, yes, Bel," said Gilang suddenly. Making Belva look over and look at Gilang closely.
"Sorry for what, brother?"
"Yesterday I didn't know you. I_"
"No chance, huh, brother? Or even forget because it's unusual." Belva's small laugh covered her sadness. Belva doesn't want to look pathetic in front of Gilang.
Gilang smiled awkwardly. I feel bad for what he did. After all, why can also be exactly Belva's guess. Gilang is not used to it.
"Sister doesn't have to tell me if you mind. Or not usually do it. The most important thing is to be well there. That was enough for me. I went to the bathroom for a bath, yeah, sister."
"Yes, Bell."
***
Although they had been married for five days, this was their second night in the same room as husband and wife.
Belva did not expect more because Gilang had laid his body on the sofa.
"Sister?" Belva.
"Yes?" Gilang answered without looking at Belva.
"I got accepted at university xxx."
Gilang who had originally laid himself down now re-enforced his body after hearing Belva's speech. "Cool tuh. Why did you just say?"
"Just yesterday I knew it. I also just talked to Gilang. Not talking to Papa Mama."
"Why are you sad then? Not a whim, huh, going to college?"
"When I list it's just a fad, brother. The taunts are acceptable."
"The wind is his name. It should be used well, yes. A real college."
Belva nodded her head. Belva thought Gilang would say, "if you go to college here, I can't take you to Jakarta."
But it turned out that was just his expectation. The reality is that Gilang looks happy to hear that Belva was accepted at a university in Surabaya.
