[“What about your wedding, Reza?”] ask Vera.
[“My marriage was a success. It was just done this afternoon. What's the matter Honey, why call me night-night.”] asked Reza.
[“I can't sleep Reza thinks of you constantly.”]
[“What you think Dear..”]
[“I'm very worried about Reza. I'm afraid you can't keep your promises.”]
[“You don't worry, darling. What I said, what I promised you I would do.”]
Nayla's chest felt tight to hear her husband talk with his girlfriend named Vera. Nayla tried to close her ears so as not to hear her husband talk, but her curiosity got bigger so that she could vaguely hear Reza talk with her lover.
[“But I'm worried Reza, tonight you must be sleeping with your wife right?”]
[“Iya Dear, but we don't sleep one bed. The important thing is that you don't worry. You have to believe in me yes Dear..”]
Hearing Reza's soft words slowly Vera's worry disappeared. Reza tries to convince Vera not to worry too much about her. Reza deliberately did not want to linger with Vera because he also still appreciated Nayla who had become his wife.
In her small heart actually Reza is not until the heart hurts Nayla's feelings. But Reza, who has made a deal with Nayla, says that even though they are married, the marriage is only on a piece of paper, and the two do not interfere in each other's personal affairs. That's the deal Nayla made with Reza.
Actually Reva was surprised by Nayla's attitude which seemed to show no jealousy or heartache even though they had legitimately become husband and wife. Seeing Nayla's attitude so cute makes Reza more curious.
Smart Nayla hides her feelings that she actually feels hurt when she hears her husband's conversation with her lover, but she tried to stay strong because Nayla had faith that one day her husband would love her with all his heart. And Nayla also promised in her heart that she would be a good wife even if her husband did not love her.
Not long after, Reza had fallen asleep on the sofa, while Nayla had not closed her eyes. Her eyes and mind were still on Vera because she did not expect that her expected marriage would be happy turned out to be nothing like her expectations. Nayla imagines building a happy household with Reza and she doesn't think Reza has a boyfriend.
Nayla also understands that this marriage was not Reza's will but Reza's will. At first Nayla was hesitant when Mr. Mahendra asked her to be his son-in-law, but Nayla could not resist considering Mr. Mahendra was too good for his family. Even Mr. Mahendra every month always sends the cost of living Nayla and her mother.
Nayla herself is still hesitant and she is not sure that Reza will accept it while Nayla knows herself that Reza is a scholar and even an S2 graduate from abroad, while Nayla herself just finished High School. He also finished thanks to the help of Mr. Mahendra.
At the beginning of this marriage it was clear that Reza did not love her even in front of Nayla, Reza is able to talk affectionately with her lover but Nayla has confidence that one day Reza will fall in her arms as long as Nayla is kind and obedient to her husband.
Almost two o'clock in the morning Nayla can just fall asleep with nyeyak.
***
The time of night is over and the time of the morning changes. Nayla who sleeps late at night so still feel sleepy when hearing the dawn adhan. Slowly opened her eyes and intended to wake up but due to the drowsiness was very heavy finally unconsciously Nayla fell asleep again. Reza was still asleep on the couch.
Bi Ijah who had finished preparing breakfast since this time waited for his master to wake up. She felt uneasy before seeing her employer come out of the room because bi Ijah was going to go shopping to the stall. Before going to the stall bi Ijah will ask first to his host what would cook today. But since then his employer has not also woke up making bi Ijah have to wait first until Nayla out of her room.
Suddenly bi Ijah's phone rang and bi Ijah immediately grabbed his phone on top of the refrigerator.
[“Again bi Ijah?”] ask Ms. minar, please,
[“I want to shop at Bu's shop, but still waiting for Nayla to wake up because Nayla's mom hasn't woken up yet. I want to ask what cuisine, let me know the shopping.”] explained bi Ijah.
[“it's noon like this haven't woken up yet, Bi?”] ask Minar's mom in wonder.
[“True Bu. Understand the name of the newlyweds Bu,”] clearly bi Ijah with a smile.
[“What if Reza, have you woken up?”] ask Minar again.
[“Mas Reza hasn't woken up yet Bu.”]
[“Udah eight o'clock hasn't woken up yet, does Reza not work?”]
[“I don't know Mom. I dare not wake him Bu.”] bi Ijah replied again.
[“Ya already, if until nine o'clock has not woken up too Aunty quickly tell me yes, let me wake them. Like princess aja this hour has not been awake.”]
Hearing the words of Minar's mother who is Nayla's in-law, bi Ijah felt sorry for Nayla.
‘Bu Minar doesn't seem to like Nayla. From last night I saw Minar's words look really spicy on Nayla's mom. Poor thing Nayla has a mother-in-law like Minar's mom. Even though Mr. Mahendra looks dear to mbak Nayla. Contrary to his wife. If mas Reza how yes, dear is not the same mbak Nayla,’ inward bi Ijah while wondering.
[“Oh yes Ma'am, actually is there anything Mom contacted me?”] ask bi Ijah.
[“I only want to nanya aja Bi, how does Reza's attitude to his wife,”] explained bu Minar.
[“What Mom means, I don't understand?”] tanya bi Ijah was confused.
[“Kan Bibi knows for herself that Reza and Nayla got married because of an arranged marriage. Initially Reza did not want to be betrothed to Nayla.”]
[“Why don't you want Mom. Isn't mbak Nayla pretty.”]
[“Beauty is not the size of Bi because Reza already has a lover who is prettier and more educated than Nayla. I actually also disagree Bi, Reza married Nayla.”] Bu Minar slightly confided in bi Ijah making bi Ijah feel sorry for Nayla himself.
[“Why I don't like Nayla, isn't Nayla beautiful and kind.”] obviously bi Ijah praised Nayla.
[“But he's not worth Reza. Reza was a bachelor while Nayla was just a high school graduate. Nayla is beautiful Bi, but she's not stylish. It could be said not to be as level as Reza. Reza liked Nayla so much that I couldn't do anything. Aunty will know for herself that Reza's papa is angry and her will is also very hard.”] said Ms. Minar.
Hearing Minar's explanation, bi Ijah just fell silent. Her feelings are very sad considering the fate of Nayla who from a difficult family background is the same as her.
