My Bow to the Destiny of Love
Stay

Chayra's been staying at her mother's house for a few nights. It was of course a big question mark for Santi's mother. The girl was too closed in on her personal matters. That's what makes Santi confused.

That night was Chayra's seventh night of stay. Bian who misses her brother almost does not want to be separated and is always sticky with her brother.

Ardian's arrival that night made Bian have to be willing to remove the glue. The teenage boy was singing his lips when his mother forced him out of Chayra's room.

"Your husband is coming, son."

"Ayra will see him, Mom. Just have him wait in the living room." Chayra said as she moved from her seat.

"You're not talking wrong anymore, are you, son?"

Chayra turned to look at her mother. "Well, what did you mean?"

"You told your husband to wait in the living room. That sounds very disrespectful. It should be when the husband comes, you tell him to go into the room."

Chayra was silent for a moment. "Mom knows why I said that."

Santi could only sigh heavily. "Well, when will you be like this. You chose it yourself, son. You should have guessed the circumstances you would have lived if you married her."

"Ayra's just trying, Mom. It turned out, it was all very heavy for Ayra. Ayra likes a new challenge. It turned out that this challenge was different and almost made Ayra desperate." Chayra blinked her eyes as her eyes began to heat up.

"Mom will send your husband in. I'm not good because your in-laws are also coming along."

Chayra jerks. He thought it was only Ardian who came. However, it turned out that both of his in-laws had also come.

"Shut up here. Let Ardian come to you."

Chayra just nodded. Refuting is also impossible. Because after all, he did not like to oppose his mother.

Not long after, Ardian came with a bent face. His parents are still sitting in the living room.

"Hi, good night. How are things." He said a little stiff. He was really confused about what to do. Every night he is scolded by his parents for not being able to bring Chayra home. How he would bring his wife home. She never visited Chayra during her stay at her mother's house.

"Can't you say hello to your Muslim brother?"

Ardian poked his lips. "Gue forgot earlier, sorry." Reply Ardian casually.

"Then why don't you try to fix it if you feel guilty?"

Ardian exhaled violently. "Gue's still stiff.."

"It is hard to not be stiff." Chayra replied, still turning to Ardian. The girl did not want to lose.

"Gue is still learning and needs to be guided equally."

"I don't want to guide you if you keep playing me. Do you think I'm a doll you can play with as you please."

The three old men who were at the door could only close their eyes at the debate.

"Gue has said it several times the same, I am a normal man who has biological needs. You know, all this time you never gave me rights. That's just my status as a wife."

"You blame me for all this. You realize no, if you also never carry out your duties as a husband. Do not think of the inner living first if the living is born only you never give it to your wife. I will prepare if you are able to support my life. A wife may oppose her husband if he wrongs her."

"Gue was confused for a long time saying the same thing." Ardian rubbed his face rough. "Gue how to try? At home scolded continues the same Mami and Papi. I was scolded here the same. No one wants to explain my mistake. Everyone blames me without telling me."

Ardian took a deep breath as he threw his body on the edge of Chayra's bed. "Lho knows, since I married you know, I feel more noticed by Papi and Mami. I don't know, how special you are in their eyes so you know like the Princess in their hearts. I just need time to change. You said yourself that everything needs a process. That instant is definitely not good. Do you remember that word?"

Chayra was silent to all the man's words.

"Gue is trying to change. I know it's hard and hard for me. But slowly, I'm sure I can. I just need support for that. If everyone stayed away and didn't support me for it, how would I be able to change. While the friends I have today are as depraved as I am."

"I will support you if you really want to change. But, you're just playing me. I was tired for a long time, you know. What am I fighting for for that man who won't fight."

"Say, what is the purpose of marrying me?" The question was suddenly thrown from Ardian's mouth. Although he actually knew the purpose of Chayra choosing to marry him.

Chayra was still silent waiting for the continuation of Ardian's words.

"Once again I ask the same. Give me one more chance. I really want to learn now." Ardian glanced at Chayra who seemed very reluctant to flip her body. "Lho just says yes or no."

Chayra breathed a heavy sigh. "Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim.may Allah strengthen me to face you again."

Ardian pulled a little corner of his lips. He was finally able to breathe. Facing Chayra was not as difficult as he had imagined. However, he did not know in the future if he made a mistake again.

Ardian also felt relieved to be free from the threat of Papinya.

Flashback...

I returned from the college that afternoon. Ardian is tired because there is practice in the field. Until home, he found Papi and his mother as if deliberately waiting for his return. He could have guessed that this incident must have been due to the actions of Alesha and Tina who reported her actions to Sucipto.

"Where is your wife. Why don't you go home with her?" Sucipto goes straight to the heart of the conversation without further ado.

"He's coming home to Mom, Pi. I miss the same mother she said. During her marriage, she never fidgeted." Ardian tried to make excuses.

"Don't try to make excuses, Ardian. Two friends came to the house. They say you hurt him on campus until he's scared."

Ardian breathed a rough breath. "Ardian didn't do that, Pi. Ardian just held his hand, so as not to leave Ardian earlier. But, he was shivering like a possessed man." Wasting your face when you say that.

Sucipto got up and directly slapped his son. "You know who made him like that?! You, Ardian, you..." Sucipto pointed at Ardian's face.

"Conscious, Son. Papi's tired of seeing you like this. Until when will you continue like this. Papi knows that it's also our fault for giving you too much freedom. We're sorry about that too."

Ardian was speechless. His hand only rubbed his cheek that Sucipto slapped earlier.

Renata got up and approached his son. Hugging Ardian. "I'm sorry we never paid attention to you in this moment, son."

"Mami what the hell?! Ardian is fine." Ardian pretending to be a bitch. In her heart she was crying because of the warm embrace of her mother.

"We're the only successors to our family, son. The company is not big. But, at least the existence of the company can guarantee your future in the future."

"Learn to be a responsible man, son. Because Papi will not live forever. Papi and Mami you have an age limit that only God knows. At least, prepare yourself from now on."

Ardian took a deep breath. "Ardian will try, Pi." Passed in front of his parents without saying goodbye."

Every night, Ardian always gets advice from Papi and his Mama. Sucipto and Renata also did not hesitate to scold his son when Ardian made a mistake.

Right tonight, Chayra's seventh night staying at her mother's house. Sucipto gave Ardian orders to pick up his wife.

"Tonight you picked up your wife, Ardian."

Ardian looked at Sucipto in confusion. "You said what I was, Pi. Shame ah..."

"Don't expect you'll be able to sleep tonight if you refuse. Papi will confiscate all the assets that Papi has given you, if you can't bring Papi's son-in-law home tonight."

"Fire..."

"The Papi's decision is unanimous. You just have to choose. Go pick up your wife or you'll be a cranky starting tonight."

Ardian ruffled his hair. Such a threat was what he feared the most. "Papi and Mami are taking part then. Ardian's ashamed to go alone."

Renata and Sucipto looked at each other with a smile.
