I'm Not a Pay Wife
Nayla Cuisine
Get off their car greeted by bi Ijah who opened the garage door. Bi Ijah looks at the smiles watching the two newlyweds.
“Mari Mbak let me bring the groceries,” said bi Ijah while taking the paper bag in the hands of Nayla.
Nayla immediately gave it to him as she walked into the house.
“Bi Ijah why haven't you slept?” ask Reza.
“Tadi aunty has entered the room but can not also sleep Mas because mas Reza same mbak Nayla has not come home so my mind goes there aja,” explained bi Ijah.
Hearing Reza ask bi Ijah, Nayla felt jealous.
‘Why mas Reza talk with bi Ijah very soft. Meanwhile, when I talk to you, I'm very rude and don't look like me. But I can't give up. I have to be strong. I can't cry and I have to defend my marriage even though Reza never touched me, will still be nice to him. I'm sure over time Reza will definitely change,’ inner Nayla sad.

After the lights in the middle room were turned off, bi Ijah went straight into his room. So did Reza and Nayla.
As usual Nayla sleeps in bed while Reza sleeps on the sofa.

Early in the morning Nayla had prepared breakfast for her husband assisted bi Ijah. Though bi Ijah had forbidden Nayla to cook in the kitchen but Nayla still insisted on preparing breakfast for her husband.
“Mbak Nayla in the room only let aunty who prepares breakfast for mas Reza,” pinta bi Ijah.
“Ngak Bi, let me. I want to cook food for my husband. I am very happy that mas Reza ate it gluttonous Bi.”
“Aibi worried later mas Reza so more fat Mbak,” obviously bi Ijah.
“For sure why Bi, how to get fat,” asked Nayla.
“I noticed mas Reza eating the cuisine of Mbak greedy times. Surely mas Reza will increase the portion of his meal and will make his body more fat,” explained bi Ijah.
“Auntie is-there,” said Nayla while laughing.
“Indeed aunt noticed since marriage, mas Reza so greedy and often add, again.”
“Indeed before marriage mas Reza not often added Bi?”
“Ngak Mbak even mas Reza rarely eat at home.”
“So eat where Bi?”
“Neither Ma'am. Maybe eat at the office. In college, Reza only ate dinner at home. Breakfast and lunch are always on campus. But lately mas Reza breakfast and dinner at home. Though previously if you want to go to work mas Reza never breakfast Mbak.”
Hearing bi Ijah's explanation, Nayla seemed to be in disbelief.
‘What is possible since marriage the portion of Reza mas meal increased. If it is true what bi Ijah said, it means my cooking is delicious. But I can't be satisfied first. I will diligently cook so that Reza mas always eat at home.’
“Oh yes Bi. What do you like most about Reza?”
“If for vegetable mas Reza likes vegetable spinach Mbak, vegetable spinach boiled. If for fish, Reza is not difficult Ma'am. The most preferred fish in Reza is the tilapia disambalado. That's all aunt knows.”
“Oh yes, mas Reza also really likes soup Mbak. Meat chopped soup. If I cook meat soup usually mas Reza likes to eat soup only without using rice.”
“Then later Aunt shopping chopped beef let us make soup for dinner,” pinta Nayla.
“Bok Mbak later I will spend.”

Sure enough what bi Ijah said this morning. Once home from work when Reza smelled soup from the kitchen, Reza went straight to the kitchen and asked bi Ijah.
“What cooking Bi, definitely cook sop. From the smell I know.”
“Bener Mas cook beef chopped soup,” reply bi Ijah.
“Befit the fragrance get to the front room. I so want to rush to eat Bi.”
“If mas Reza eat this soup must be addictive loh.”
“What's Right Bi?” ask Reza not to believe it.
“True loh Mas. Tastes very good,” obviously bi Ijah.
“Customize Ijah will always be good.”
“But this soup is better than cook aunty, Mas.”
“Whose to cook Bi?”
“Who else if not Nayla.”
Hearing bi Ijah's words, Reza hurriedly walked into the room.

Then Reza went straight into her room to take a shower. Seeing her husband coming home from work as usual Nayla opened her husband's tie. Nayla who just took a bath still smelled the aroma of the fragrance by Reza. Reza deliberately turned his gaze in the other direction because he did not want to look at his wife who was opening her tie. But Reza can feel the fragrance from his wife's body. As he glanced towards his wife Nayla also glanced towards her husband so that their two eyeball beads clashed together.
Nayla immediately smiled at her husband while Reza did not return her smile. He immediately turned his eyes in the other direction. Reza deliberately did not want to linger looking at his wife because Reza was afraid that later he would fall in love with Nayla.
Nayla who saw her husband's attitude was very cold trying to calm down even though in her small heart she felt sad and disappointed because of her husband's treatment. Nayla immediately strengthened her resolve.
‘You must be strong. You can not be weak and clingy even if your husband is rude. You must keep doing good to him.’
It was the words that were always present in his mind. It was the words that made him stronger.
After Nayla opened her husband's tie, Reza went straight to the bathroom and his shirt was not opened yet. Usually he opened his own shirt before entering the bathroom, but somehow Reza went straight into the bathroom without opening his shirt first.
As soon as he closed the bathroom door Reza immediately leaned against the bathroom wall. His chest went up and down with an irregular breath. Inexplicably, Reza's heart beats so fast when dealing with Nayla that Reza hastily enters the bathroom. He was unable to endure the sudden feeling of being different from usual. So close to Nayla Reza's heart was beating so fast.
‘I can't fall in love with Nayla. Nayla doesn't deserve me because Nayla is a village. I don't want to hurt Vera's feelings. Maybe it was because I hadn't seen Vera for so long that once I got Nayla's attention I suddenly felt like I liked her. Though my love is only for a Vera. Tomorrow or the day after I have to see Vera so that my longing for her can be treated so that I am not obsessed with Nayla who is a village,’ Inner Reza.
