“What is he doing at his friend's house?” ask Mr. Mahendra again.
“Nayla also does not know Pi because if Nayla asks mas Reza does not want to answer,” explained Nayla.
“But when unmarried Reza rarely goes out the night. Why is it now that after getting married she often goes out at night?” said Mr. Mahendra confused.
“Papi like not knowing. Reza is married to Nayla not because of love but because of arranged marriage,” explained Ms. Minar.
“What does it have to do with him frequent night out?” ask Mr. Mahendra.
“Ya obviously had something to do with Pi because he did not love his wife so he sought pleasure with frequent night out,” said Minar bu made Nayla even sadder because she was always blamed by her in-laws.
“Mami, why the hell mami always talk that uncomfortable like that,” said Mr. Mahendra in an angry tone.”
“Papi himself why the hell always blame mami.”
“Yes because Mami's words are always painful and Mami when talking never think of the heartache of others.”
“But everything mami said is true Pi. The proof can be Papi see for himself.”
Nayla who had been listening to her in-laws' conversation felt sad especially when her mother-in-law who always cornered her. But Nayla who was determined to remain strong and strong finally her mother-in-law's speech was considered as a wind then that she did not need to think about. For him, the most important thing is that his father-in-law still loves him. Although her in-laws did not like her, Nayla still respected her. Nayla also did not respond too much to the words of her female in-laws because it would cause her more hurt. Nayla tried to remain patient in the face of the trials that God had given her.
Nayla immediately sent a message to her husband to go home.
{Mas Reza, you come home fast because papi and mami come.}
Then Reza answered. {Let's just say I'm going to the house there's important business.}
{But Mas, papi and mami want to spend the night at our home.}
{Mana may papi and mami spend the night at our home.}
{True to Mas, I'm not lying. If Mas does not believe the phone or mami now.}
After getting an answer from Nayla, Reza was astonished. ‘Why papi and mami suddenly come and want to spend the night. Is there anything to tell him. Or maybe Nayla has told him all my behavior, including me often out at night. But maybe Nayla complained to Papi. Maybe also papi looks very eager to have a grandson. Then papi already knows how I'm related to Nayla and that's probably what papi is worried about because until now Nayla has not been pregnant. Ah, than I'm dizzy, I'd rather go home than be a problem.’
After a while Reza decided to go home. He immediately drove his car at high speed through a still crowded street.
***
Nayla was confused because she had to sleep one more room with her husband.
“Before Papi Mami, Nayla first clean room for Mami and Papi.”
Then Nayla went into her room which was a special guest room. She immediately took all of her belongings that were in front of the dressing table. All the powder and other supplies were put into plastic asoy and were about to be taken to her husband's room.
Seeing Nayla coming out of the back room with a plastic bag containing makeup and several pieces of clothing, Mr. Mahendra was astonished.
‘Why did Nayla bring the plastic that contained her gear and then underneath it to the front room. Was all this time he slept in the back room and since we came he moved to the front room,’ inner Mr. Mahendra.
***
Mr. Mahendra and Ms. Minar are still watching television in the living room while waiting for Reza's return. Since then, Mr. Mahendra has noticed Nayla's behavior. It looks like Nayla is changing the sheets in the back room and cleaning it for quite a while and she also has several times brought some items from the back room to the front room making Mr. Mahendra more suspicious. Mr. Mahendra is worried that they have been separating rooms.
Not long after, the sound of Reza's car entered his yard. As soon as Reza appeared in front of the door was immediately greeted by a question by her papa.
“Reza from Papi's friend's house. Why don't you tell Papi if he wants to come,” asked Reza.
“What's the reason?” ask Mr. Mahendra ketus.
“Ya let Reza not come out earlier,” explained Reza.
“Means that if papi tells you, if we want to come you can not go?” ask Mahendra who is upset.
“Iya Pi, surely Reza will not be out at night.”
“Yes already, from tomorrow onwards consider aja papi every night come to your house, let you not go out the night again.”
“Ya is not so it is Pi,” said Reza with a smile.
“Do you have any pity to see Nayla alone in a house this big,” asked her papi.
Reza just silently listened to her papi. At least he did not answer for fear that his papi would grow angry.
***
Nayla finally went back to sleep with her husband tonight. The two still looked awkward so Reza slept on the sofa like before. Though only last night Reza hates his wife but now he still does not want to sleep one bed with his wife. She still remembers Vera's words forbidding her to sleep with Nayla and Reza according to her. Especially in the near future he will marry Vera.
***
The next morning finished breakfast, Mr. Mahendra and his wife immediately went home.
“Papi and mami why quickly return home?” ask Reza.
“Papi and mami don't want to bother you,” said Mr. Mahendra.
“Disturbing how does Pi mean?” reza didn't understand.
“If there are papi and mami you must be ashamed to make out,” explained Mr. Mahendra.
Reza and Nayla just smiled at the joke of Mr. Mahendra. As long as there are both parents in the house, Reza looks friendly to Nayla. He always embraces his wife's shoulders making Mahendra feel happy. While Minar was annoyed with the affection that Reza always displayed. The two looked friendly making Minar even more upset.
***
As soon as Reza's parents came home, they returned to how they were. There is no romance between the two. Even Reza remained indifferent to Nayla while Nayla tried to be friendly to her husband. Moreover, Reza has already fucked her.
“Nayla, you prepare a good meal today because we will have guests,” said Reza.
“Who wants to come Mas?” ask Nayla.
“Vera wants to come here and I'll pick her up soon.”
“Vera, your lover Mas?” nayla asked with a crushed squeeze.
“True and in the near future we will get married.”
Without feeling Nayla shed tears of sadness.
“But Mas...” says Nayla disconnected.
