Ellie bit her lower lip, she blushed shyly her face was now flushed red like a boiled crab. How clumsy he is now, just introduced himself just as a student of David. But unexpectedly the man even blatantly announced that they were a married couple.

As if he knew his wife who was being embarrassed, David slowly took her into the meeting room next to him.

After the two entered the meeting room, Ellie immediately headed to the sofa to sit her legs felt limp.

"Mas, why is that?"

"What?" david answered casually and took a sitting position next to Ellie.

"Why is it announced now? I-i..."

"I what Honey? Do you want to misunderstand me again on campus?" david asked, cutting Ellie's sentence.

"Well, do you know that story?"

"Already, Mr. Rendi called me..."

"What?? mr Rendi?? Die me!" Ellie was amazing. It turned out that the news had even been known by the chief rector.

"Then how should I? hiks.. hiks.." Ellie's cry broke.

From earlier on campus he tried hard and strong to face the sloping news about him. But now in front of her husband the cry was no longer held.

David grabbed his wife's body in an embrace, one hand patting her fragile back as if giving strength.

"Don't be held back, cry as much as you do." said David calmly and gently.

"But I'm ashamed that your employees were horrified. Hicks..."

"This room is airtight. Want to cry as hard as a tickle they will not be able to cry."

"Tell?"

David nodded with his hand continuing to stroke his wife's long hair.

"Hua... The Hua... Hua..." Ellie was crying.

David was shocked but he just smiled and shook his head. He knew that his wife was still very unstable.

...****************...

About thirty minutes David became a loyal listener to his wife who was at the concert crying. Now Ellie was calmer after venting her emotions.

David's upper shirt was wet with his tears.

"Sorry, your shirt is so wet." said Ellie took off her husband's arms and stroked the wet shirt.

Ellie was still as excited as the rest of her cries.

David's hands cupped Ellie's face, then shifted rubbing her cheeks. Her lips briefly popped Ellie's puffy, puffy eyes.

"It's quiet?" ask David. His face was very close to Ellie's.

Ellie simply replied with a nod.

Simultaneously, the sound of knocking from the door was heard.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Aware of her position being very intimate with her husband, Ellie inched backwards to set the distance. While David moved from his seat to open the door that he had deliberately locked.

"What's wrong?" ask one of his employees.

"Sorry sir, fifteen minutes from the meeting with the Singaporean company."

David seemed to think for a moment, he turned towards his wife. Meeting this time seems very important but he could not bear to leave his wife when slumped like that.

"Yes, wait a minute" he told the employee.

After his employees passed, he sat back next to Ellie.

Ellie, who heard the conversation between her husband and employees, now understands that her husband is busy.

"Mas, you go away I don't pa-pa really.." said Ellie with a sweet smile.

"Sorry, this meeting is very important for the company because this is the second tender that I have to make sure I can win this time" explained David.

"No problem Mas, my goal was here to let you know the news eeh you even already know."

"I called you but your phone wasn't active, and then I tried to call Novi. He said you should come here, so yeah I've been waiting here."

"Oh that, yeah hape I lowbat Mas..."

"Yes, now you go home first. I orderin taxi yes. I'm sorry I can't wait to meet the same meeting schedule..."

"Yes Mas..." Ellie grabbed her husband's hand and held it tightly. "I've been waiting outside, my spirit. Good luck!"

Cup...

Ellie kissed her husband's cheek for a moment to encourage him.

David smiled and stroked his wife's hair.

...****************...

Luckily today is Saturday so Ellie doesn't have to go to college and is free to worry about her slanted gossip.

As usual the alarm on his phone will always be loud sounding right at 04.30.

"Hoooaaaaammmm..." Ellie wriggled her arms out into the air.

A reflex of her hand touched her right side looking for her husband. Blank.

He got up and sat down and gathered his soul. Faint sounds rattled the water from inside the bathroom.

"Oh, David's already up.." he murmured.

He immediately got up and made his bed.

Chequek...

"My dear, are you awake?" greet David when he comes out of the bathroom.

"Hem... Morning Mas. Praying at dawn congregation yuk, I take ablution first yah.." said Ellie and immediately went into the bathroom.

David just nodded and immediately prepared.

Both of them prayed fajr with solemnity. It ends with a prayer that David says and Ellie admonishes. Not to forget the young woman kissed the back of her husband's hand affectionately. Replied a warm kiss on the forehead by David.

After she finished praying, Ellie tidied up her face and prayer mat and put it on the shelf next to the closet.

"You get ready, bring three or four clothes. Don't forget the thick, warm clothes." said David.

"Where are we going, man?"

"Honeymoon Baby..."

"Huh? What's?" Ellie was shocked to be embarrassed. Face blushed.

David stepped eroding the distance and hugged his wife from behind.

"Yesterday I won that tender from Singapore, today and tomorrow I want us to be alone. Because from Monday to the next month I must be busy." said David. He buried his face in the neck of his wife.

"Alhamdulillah, you succeeded. Congratulations..." Ellie leaned her head on her husband.

David nodded. The atmosphere turned momentarily silent and romantic. Only their body language speaks. His hands were both stroking each other.

Not wanting to get carried away, David ended the hug scene with Deheman.

"Eyeah... Let's get ready first. If the bad luck will be stuck" said David while breaking his embrace.

Ellie who was very comfortable in the arms of her husband turned sullen.

"Later in the villa we were satisfied with his embrace. I don't want us to get stuck later, honey." said David, as if he knew his wife's heart.

"Yes-yes..."

It does not take long to pack because only two days they will vacation to the top.

The two went down together, when they reached the bottom there was already an aunt Siti who welcomed with a big box that seemed to contain food.

The curious Ellie finally asked. "This what's a Bik?"

"Feed food for two days Ma'am." replied the aunt with a smile.

"Employed? This is Auntie herself who's ready for everything?" Ellie asked again.

"Yes Ma'am, I've calmed down and happy vacation yes." said aunt again.

"Dear, you guys enjoy this short honeymoon yes and a cheek of Mama's beautiful and handsome grandson." said Mama Ratna who just arrived in the dining room.

"Here the hunt departs, so do not get stuck at this peak will be weekend." said papa.

Wahyudi.

Ellie was more astonished, it turns out everyone already knew her husband's plan. He knew this twenty minutes ago. Don't want to take a headache he just smiled and immediately say goodbye.

Now both of them have been in the car on their way to the top of Bogor for a short honeymoon.

Ellie was so grateful to have such a wonderful and understanding husband and in-law. The young woman unceasingly smiled happily and continued to stare at her husband who was focused on driving.

"Am I too handsome? until you see it? It's a shame I won't fly you're calm." said David teasing his wife.

"What the hell is ge er deh. I'm just as fascinated by the view on the streets as you are.." Ellie dodged.

"Hahaha.." the two laughed together.
