The Story of Cilla: Love in Marriage
Reunions

Reza arrived home at 22:00 WIB, the house looks already quiet maybe everything has gone to sleep, Reza went to his room and slowly opened the door so as not to disturb Cilla who was sleeping but when entering Reza saw Cilla was still awake and now instead looked at him sharply. Reza walked normally and put his backpack next to the table and took off his black jacket and sat on the sofa.

" Are you finally home? Why don't you tell me? Why don't you give me a message?" Ask Cilla who looks upset.

" It's okay, the important thing is that I go home now!" answer Reza flat.

" Why didn't you tell me?" Cilla's still upset.

" What do you care? Are you worried about me?" reply Reza who even asked back.

" Not so, you're my husband, even if it's just a marriage license."

" Oh... So you think I'm just a husband on a marriage license? You know your father handed you over to me in the procession of ijab qobul and I am in charge after the promise was made. I still assume that marriage is a sacred procession not for playfulness. Never mind I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower and sleep, sorry I didn't tell you or tell you, next time I won't." Said Reza who raised her tone and then again lowered her tone.

Cilla could only keep quiet with Reza's words, no more words from her mouth could come out. Maybe Reza's words have a point, but he is still difficult to accept this marriage with Reza. Cilla sighed then covered all her body with a blanket.

A week passed after the incident that Cilla and Reza's relationship grew colder, rarely to speak only occasionally if they really need to. Seeing that Cilla's parents felt they had to do the plan they had discussed in the past, at dinner was the right time for the two of them to talk to Reza and Cilla.

Reza always came home late either because he was busy or trying to avoid Cilla. But today, Hardi and Sarah asked him to come on time for dinner together, inevitably both of them also obey the words of his parents. Everything has been gathered except Arka and Arsa who are doing camping with the school. The housekeeper prepared all the dishes for dinner, everything was neatly arranged and the dishes looked very delicious. But what was seen, Cilla and Reza did not enjoy their dishes, only eating a little as if they were lazy to eat the food.

" What are you guys?" sarah asked after watching the two.

" Oh! it's okay Mother." reply Cilla.

" Eat the food dong, even though this is your favorite food, there is sweet spicy crispy chicken, calado squid, vegetable capcay and some of the usual you eat right, come on who eat a lot do not be lazy." said Sarah thrusting the side dish towards the two.

They just took a little bit and went back to eating slowly and just kept quiet with no sound from the two.

" Oh yeah, I'd like to ask, are you planning on having a child?"

Uhuk... Uhuk... Uhuk... Cilla who was drinking immediately coughed while Reza who was surprised immediately stopped eating.

" Dad, you've been married for almost 4 months, but there's no sign that Cilla's pregnant... You guys planning on delaying having children?"

" Ah.i.t that... That way... Fathering... It seems like we haven't thought about having children yet, we want to pursue each other's careers." replied Reza a little hesitant and stammered.

" Yes, I'm also young so I want to enjoy my youth first." Cilla replied back to drinking water because her throat was still uncomfortable.

' How to get pregnant, sleep is separate!' inner Cilla.

" We really want to hold grandchildren, we are not too old so we can enjoy a longer time and can play with them later" said Sarah enthusiastically.

" Father and mother are young, so you can still be patient. We still want to enjoy our marriage." Cilla replies in search of an excuse.

" Yes, Mother.... We haven't thought about it at all." added Reza after a bit in Cilla's half.

" Yesudah, I hope you do not delay too long, I also hope to get a successor soon from you so that the descendants of the father do not break up" explained Hardi.

" But Arka and Arsa are still there, they will not break" Cilla replied bluntly.

" Yes, it's true. But they are still small, it is still a long time to get married let alone to have children. But you guys just plan it can be done." added Hardi.

" Yes, if we're ready, we'll definitely have a child" Cilla said, Reza just kept quiet.

' I don't know until when but is it possible that we will have children? While I was still reluctant to do something like a real married couple.' Inner Cilla.

They returned to their rooms after lunch. Cilla sat on the sofa as well as Reza but sat them far apart.

" Why do you think Daddy and Mommy want us to have children quickly? Though we are still young." said Cilla a little irritated.

" Well, why? What is wrong with having children when we are young? even good if later our children grow up and we are still fit." reply Reza who did not reject the wishes of his in-laws.

" You know having a child has to do that! I'm not ready, let alone I'm just the first time, for sure.." said Cilla then stopped not continuing his words.

" Well, have I ever been? I also just found out for the first time."

" A long time?" sneered Cilla.

" Eh... What do you think I'm a guy?" reza said a little irritated.

" Ogah ah, make me fall in love with you before that happens." challenge Cilla.

" Ok see, I'll bring you to my knees" Reza said confidently.

" Cih..cocky, as long as the wound of my heart has not healed there will be nothing that can make me fall in love" said Cilla.

' The optimism is that people, the heart can indeed change but it takes quite a long time for that to happen.' Cilla's inner.

Cilla's best friend asked to see each other, because they had not met since college. All meetings with other High School friends who are in class with them, can be said to be small reunions. Cilla strongly agreed because she wanted to know their news after a long time did not meet. Including Reza was also a class with Cilla during High School so she also participated in the event.

The event was held in the afternoon at a cafe that is quite famous for young people, tongkrongan, who came not so much maybe only about 15 people because some have lost contact or go out of town even abroad. Cilla came with her car with Dona and Citra who had been picked up earlier, while Reza came on a motorcycle with his two friends who each drove his motorcycle.

Reza and Cilla arrive almost simultaneously so they and their best friend enter simultaneously. His friends who arrived first were a little stunned by Cilla and Reza's prominent appearance as if they were the main characters in this party. Cilla is dressed casually but looks luxurious with a white shirt, branded, black jeans plus white sneakers make it look beautiful, especially on the back with the ideal body proportions make it look perfect. While Reza who wore a brightly colored t-shirt combined with a black denim jacket and black jeans plus brightly colored sneakers make him look handsome like a supermodel.

" Ok, because everything has come, let's start the reunion event, at the beginning of the meal and then there will be games and karaoke together. Let's say thank you to Cilla who has prepared this cafe only for us without others so that our party is no interference. Thank you Cilla." said one of his friends who played the MC.

" Hey, you rented all these cafes?" reza whispers to Cilla.

" Yes, is it good that we don't bother?"

" Yes, but...... Yasudah it's up to you." said Reza who looked annoyed.

Everyone looks happy with the event as if they become close again, they also tell each other about each other's lives ranging from work and even romance. Among all those who came there was none who was married except Amel who was married and now was pregnant so he could not attend. While the wedding of Cilla and Reza no one knows except Cilla's two best friends, Citra and Dona.

When Reza began to sing everyone cheered, the melodious voice of Reza combined with the right song made everyone lulled down to listen carefully. After that everyone encouraged Cilla to sing, Cilla who did not want because it could not sing continues to be forced so inevitably Cilla also went forward and the music was played. It is true that Cilla could not sing everything she sang out of the tone, hearing that Reza stood up again and sang along with Cilla. The song is a song about lovers who fall in love with each other, Reza is very fond of the song until he continues to approach Cilla. Everyone cheered Reza's romance on Cilla while Cilla was just silent with a blushing face. Everyone yells for them to date, "You're very compatible, you're suitable to be a couple, dating." Hearing that Reza felt amused themselves, they did not know if he and Cilla were not just dating even they were married. Dona and Citra were just a whimper, Cilla gestured for Dona and Citra to be quiet (shut up) so that her marriage was not known to others.

Cilla sat back with her two best friends after the song ran out, and Reza rejoined the others.

" Cil, I see that red loe face, even though you have been married 4 months, like a new kasmaran." whispered Dona.

" His time? my face is red, ah ngaco loe." Cilla held her cheeks with both of her palms.

" I think you've started to have the same taste of Reza." seduced Citra.

" So, not the time, I just overheated in the deketin tuh people" said Cilla ngeles.

" Here you go, just accept Reza, he's already your husband" said Dona.

" Tumben loe said it! Not that I don't like Reza but Adrian's treatment of me, makes me hurt. I still can't open my heart to anyone." Cilla explained.

" What have you been doing for 4 months?" citra cengengesan.

" I don't mind." Cilla replied casually.

" really? Duh very dear. Reza's body and face are rare and difficult to get, if I can stand it." said Dona who is pretentious.

" No, I'm normal, even though the room is also but I also do not deny that Reza is handsome."

" That's it... Have lived your marriage in earnest and quickly make a nephew for us." said Citra spirit.

" Ntar, we also get to hear from Amel." Cilla tried to avoid.

" Well, Amel is Amel, and Loe is different again" Dona added.

" Don't know ah, look at it later." said Cilla ngeles.

Seen a female friend approached Reza, he sat very close to Reza and invited Reza to talk, sometimes the woman tried to touch Reza's body and Reza was just silent, just silent, though in his heart he felt uncomfortable but Reza did not show it so as not to hurt the girl friend. Citra and Dona who saw him were very unhappy with the treatment of the woman, then they saw Cilla who looked ordinary while drinking a can of soda in her hand and occasionally took a snack and ate it.

' Why the hell do you keep close to Reza? Don't know if his wife saw it. Si Reza also why just stay silent in the community like that.' furious Cilla in his heart.

" Are you really not jealous?" ask Dona who sees Cilla doesn't care.

" No, it's normal." reply Cilla flat.

" Truly loe yah, the husband himself is attracted to each other girls, loe silent doang" said Citra who was inexhaustible with Cilla's attitude.

" Well, what do I have to do? Nampar tuh chick, grab it chick or temurin tuh chick? you know that the others don't know that I'm married to Reza, do you want to spread our marriage?" said Cilla impressed cuek only.

" It's up to you." Dona no longer wants to talk about Cilla and Reza, she goes back to eating snacks and drinking a can of soda.

The event ended at 22:00 WIB, they went home. As before Reza came home on a motorcycle while Cilla was driving his car, Citra and Dona did not come in Cilla's car because they would go somewhere first, actually Cilla also wanted to come but he could not if his father knew for sure he was angry again like before. Marriage is a little limiting it can not be free as before but everything can not change, now he has to live it. Even though she didn't want this marriage, she didn't want a divorce either. Cilla and her two friends split up when they both got a taxi and Cilla drove her car home, Reza accidentally did not go home before Cilla came home, Reza follows Cilla's car from behind so that nothing is not desired and reaches the destination safely.
