It was late afternoon before night fell. Eka came out of her room after resting since noon. Actually, there was nothing Eka did while in the room, other than playing with her cell phone. Every now and then she left the room and asked Endang about Mahardika. Her husband was busy in his room. Eka did not want to disturb him. Moreover, she and Mahardika were not that close, even though they were officially husband and wife. Eka descended the stairs. Her nose fluttered, smelling a very fragrant aroma that whetted her appetite. Eka imagined eating this food with warm rice, fried tempeh and fresh vegetables. The worms in her stomach immediately started protesting. Asking to be fed as soon as possible. "The aroma is delicious. This must be Endang cooking," Eka guessed while speeding up her steps because she was curious who was cooking.Right at the end of the stairs, Eka saw Endang who was walking from outside while carrying grocery bags in her left and right hands. "Endang," Eka called
"Uncle, tomorrow I want to go to Daddy's house," Eka said while lightly wiping her lips, after finishing her dinner. "Yes, dear, but I'm sorry I can't take you. I'll take you to the driver's," Dika replied while reaching for an apple that was there. "Because I have to attend a meeting tomorrow," he continued and peeled the skin off the apple. "No way! Uncle has to drive me anyway. Period, no comma!" said Eka with a sharp look at her husband."So what, you're already working? We just got married. Why should we already be busy with work? There's still time later for work," Eka continued to grumble.Dika blinked his eyes slowly and flashed a faint smile. "Alright, Princess. I will ask Robi to represent me in the meeting. So, I can take you to Daddy's house. Are you satisfied, dear?""Thank you, my handsome husband," Eka said while taking the peeled apple from Dika's hand. Without feeling guilty, Eka ate the apple with gusto. "Heum, the apple is sweet.""Isn't the apple sweet?"Eka nod
The call to dawn was heard. Eka slowly opened her eyes, along with a soft voice calling her."Wake up, dear. It's time for morning prayer."The soft voice kept encouraging Eka to wake up from her dream. Gradually her consciousness began to gather."Heum, yes, Uncle," Eka mumbled while rubbing her eyes."Yes, I'll do my ablutions first, and you can follow later," said the owner of the soft voice, who was none other than her husband.Eka nodded. Those beautiful eyes were still only partially open. However, the shadow of her husband's good looks was already visible. Although not fully.Five minutes later, Eka came out of the bathroom. Her face already looked very fresh, after washing it with water."Uncle Dika." Eka approached Dika who was sitting on her prayer mat."Yes, dear?" "Sorry, Uncle. I couldn't pray at dawn... The thing is..." Eka paused her sentence because she was hesitant to continue.Dika blinked her eyes, then smiled gently. "Well, you just rest. Yesterday I asked Endang
9:05 a.m."Don't leave anything behind, dear." Dika reminded and Eka immediately nodded confidently."I brought nothing but my cell phone. All the stuff is already in the car. Uncle Dika himself took care of it earlier," Eka replied with a gentle smile. Dika exhaled softly. It was true that he had ordered his driver to bring some things to meet his father-in-law later.After getting married, this was the first time both of them went back to their parents' house. Dika was looking forward to it and Eka missed his father very much."Hello, darling..."The newlyweds' steps stopped at the lip of the door, when a beautiful woman immediately said 'Honey' to who knows who?"Honey?" Dika. And Eka looked at each other and looked at the woman in surprise. "My darling." Without feeling embarrassed, the woman immediately hugged Mahardika very tightly. "I miss you so much, darling," she said intimately while putting on a pitiable face.Judging from her appearance, she looked polite, from the way
"We don't need to go to dad's house. I'm afraid you...""No way!" Before Dika could finish her sentence, Eka had already grabbed her while breaking the hug. As usual, she puffed up her cheeks, showing her unconcealed dislike. "For what reason are we not going to Dad's house? We already intended to go there, so why did it have to be canceled?" Eka's face turned fierce like a forest king about to pounce on a deer. Dika let out a long breath. His wife really had a split personality. Every moment could change unpredictably. "I'm afraid you're not in a good mood because of what happened earlier, plus you're on your period...""What does having your period have to do with meeting Dad?"Check! Eka's question made Mahardika pause and rack his brain quickly. His wife's sharp gaze, made Dika's focus split. "I'm just afraid that you will vent all your emotions to me, while I don't know about Nadia's problem at all."Eka ruffled her waist and puffed up her face slightly, "I'm not that afra
In the evening. Eka and Dika left Teguh Saputra's residence. Actually, Dika proposed to stay there. However, Eka did not want to. She just wanted to go home. As a husband. Dika could only comply with the request. "This afternoon, who called?" asked Eka, in the middle of the night silence, the streets of Tangerang City. "Heum, Robi called. Why?"Eka shook her head while leaning her head on her husband's shoulder. "I'm sleepy, Uncle.""Yes, go to sleep, dear." Dika gently stroked Eka's cheek. However, his focus was on the road. Slowly Eka closed her eyes. Did she really fall asleep or just want to enjoy the comfort she had never felt before?Dika lowered the speed of his car. He didn't want to disturb Eka's rest, who seemed very tired. The trip, which should have taken an hour, became an hour and a half. Before entering the yard, Dika sent a text message to the caretaker to open the gate slowly. He didn't want the noise to wake his wife.The guard did as Dika asked. He was seen pu
"What's wrong, honey?" Dika hurriedly approached Eka who shouted earlier. Dika's steps stopped when she saw Eka who immediately looked at her full of confusion. "Why is there no blood?" Eka's face was so flat. "What blood?" asked Mahardika back, who really didn't understand what blood meant?"It's..." Eka raised her head. Hesitant to finish her sentence.What was it called? Eka had trouble stringing her words together. "What, dear? If you talk thoroughly. I don't understand what you mean. What blood?"Eka let out a long breath, "that, Uncle... Virgin blood..."Dika thought for a moment, trying to decipher the meaning of the fragmented sentence. Virgin blood? Isn't that the title of a movie? Heum... Dika frowned. "Really, really, Uncle, don't you understand? Didn't we run out last night..."In the next sentence, Dika understood the direction of this conversation. Although Eka had not finished his sentence. "Oh, you mean the blood after the first night?" Without embarrassment Dika
"Finish the breakfast. Oh yeah, I'm going to the office today because I have an important meeting to attend," Dika said without looking at his wife.Eka, who was about to eat her breakfast, immediately stopped her activities. Suddenly Eka felt full without having to eat. "Did you go to the office today?" asked Eka and there was a look of disappointment on the little face.Dika raised his head, "Yes, dear. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier because I didn't want you to feel disappointed.""If Uncle goes to the office, who will I be with?""Well, there's Endang, dear. Oh yeah, Mom will come here too. I told you yesterday about this meeting. So, I'll come here to keep you company." Dika explained the situation."Oh..." Despite trying to smile sweetly, the disappointment was still visible and Eka was unable to hide it completely.Dika took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I have to attend this meeting. An investor from France, intends to cooperate with us. This meeting is supposed
