Alex and Hari are playing chess, while Anes and Ms Ratna cook in the kitchen for lunch.
"Well, it turns out you are very smart to play chess, papa continues to lose. Let's play again, papa has not given up if it can not beat you," said Pak Hari spirit.
"Huh what? keep playing until I lose? want to get to this time, I better just give up this time, let papa be happy," inner Alex.
They continued the game of chess until Pak Hari won several times, because Alex deliberately relented to please his father-in-law.
Ms. Ratna, who was done with the kitchen affairs, approached Alex and Mr. Hari who were seriously looking at her chess pawn.
"You're serious, who won?" asked Ms. Ratna who shifted the focus of the two people who were facing her.
"Eh mama, from then on Alex continues to win, but finally papa can beat him several times," said Mr. Hari proudly.
"Eleh, papa won or mama's daughter-in-law who gave up hem?" ledek bu Ratna's.
"Well mama, papa also knows that Alex relented, so you don't lose face" replied Hari honestly.
"No way, Alex lost, Alex lacked focus in the last games" Alex told a lie.
"Mr, listen to yourself it turns out that Alex is losing," Mr. Hari did self-defense, although still in his heart knew his daughter-in-law was lying to please his heart.
"Yes, my mom believes it!" said Ms. Ratna.
They also talk and joke. For some reason, Alex was very happy to see his two in-laws look romantic, although peppered with debates and small fights, but even look romantic. Although she was mostly silent and was only a spectator of her two-in-law's behavior.
"Oh papa, I've had a joke, ashamed to know there's a son Alex, let's see he's quiet and pay attention to us, the same shame of the young, the old as well, surely Alex wants to think the elders are shameless" said Ms Ratna blushed.
"Eh make no mistake ma, let our children and daughters-in-law will also be like us, even if old, remain romantic, right Lex?" mr. Hari chimed in on Ms. Ratna's remarks.
"Yes pa, hopefully until old age I can continue like an equally papa mama, even more and more romantic" said Alex in his heart.
"Yes pa," that was all that came out of Alex's mouth, but in his heart he put together a lot of words. The basic Alex ckckck.
Alex dizzy looking around, looking for the whereabouts of his wife, but, not even the trunk of his nose.
Mr. Hari and Ms. Ratna who saw the behavior of her daughter-in-law also looked at each other with a smile.
"Look at me, just a moment did not see his wife miss me," Ratna teased Alex.
"Hahaha" laughter burst out from Hari's sir's mouth.
Alex just scratched his nape in response to his in-laws speech.
"So there after your wife, it looks like she's in the room, she said she wanted to fall tired and sleepy, all you call for lunch" said Ms Ratna.
"Raclut? sleepy? just this hour, last night until what time is overtime, how many rounds?" ledek pak Hari's.
"Father! don't embarrass your daughter-in-law, you son-in-law!"
"Hahaha papa joked ma, not just your daughter-in-law, but your daughter-in-law too, is Lex."
"Yes pa, ma, then Alex call Anes first for a while," said Alex immediately raised his butt that was numb because of earlier sitting accompanying Pak Hari playing chess.
"Tu right, papa the hell, he became the wrong behavior" whispered Ms. Ratna.
"Hihi, justin aja ma, his name is also still a newlywed, new anget-angetnya," said Pak Hari whispered as well.

Getting into the room, Alex doesn't find Anes there.
"Where was he, Mama said he was in the room?" muttered.
Since his wife was not there, he decided to wait while looking through the contents of his room. When he got married he had entered the room anyway, but not so attentive because it was only a moment.
He circulated his gaze, looking around the room which was dominated by white.
"What this is like is a women's room, a lot of useless and important items," he said.
Suddenly his eyes focused on a photo attached to the wall of his wife's room.
"That's a picture of who? why is there a photo of another man in this room, instead of her husband's photo, even our wedding photo does not exist.
Who the hell is this guy? Mana in the photo Anes smiled again, like he was happy with the photo with the man, was he his ex, why is still on display, but instead of David said he had never dated, he was not dating, keep who this man is, why they look close, smile at each other like happy when this photo is taken, damn dare he holds Anes shoulder " murmured Alex in heart while clenching his hand. There was anger and jealousy in him.
He left the photo. Sit on the bed and pick up a photo album on his bedside nightstand.
Alex opened the sheet of the album with a smile. looking at the portrait of the wife from orok to adulthood, USG photo material in the womb of Bu Ratna is also there.
Then he flipped the album sheet again, he saw Anes photo while still in high school with hair in pigtails two.
"Sweet, adorable!" muttered.
Alex takes the photo and keeps it in his wallet along with the wedding photo and Anes.
He put the photo album back where it was.
"Where did Anes go?" said it.
"Why did I get my daughter? afraid I'm missing hem? just a moment did not meet," suddenly Anes went inside and approached her husband. She sat down next to her husband and leaned her head over Alex's shoulder.
"Why is this here?" ask Anes.
"Where are you from? I noticed you, Mama said you were in the room but there wasn't" Alex said as she stroked Anes' hair.
"So my stomach hurt so I went to the bathroom" Anes replied.
"Come, papa and Mama must have been waiting for lunch" Anes asked.
"Wait, you have a debt explanation of the same me," said Alex. His face turned serious.
"What's wrong? wh why? why did his face turn like that, did I have any fault?" inner Anes.
"Exposing what?" ask Anes.
Alex did not answer, he just turned his eyes towards the photo hanging on the wall, Anes photo with another handsome man according to him.
Anes understood the meaning of her husband.
"Don't you know who that guy is?"
"No!" answer Alex flat.
"Seriously? she's that..."
"Former you? as expected," said Alex annoyed and filled with jealous flames.
"Eh but he doesn't have an ex, ah stupid!" inner Alex.
"Hahahaha" Anes laughed.
Seeing his wife laugh, Alex grew even more upset and clenched her hands.
"Dengerin I used to say so, mas was born in what year, why does the actor as phenomenal and handsome as Lee Min Ho do not know mas?" obviously Anes was holding back a laugh.
"Actor? so he's an actor?"
"Amel watched when Lee Min Ho came to Indonesia, he was crazy about it as a Korean oppa-oppa, and I had a photo opportunity with him, he said, it's printed with Amel and he put it on it. It's Amel who prints and put it there, make a memento he said, seriously," continued Anes again.
"Haha, jealous?"
"Of course I'm jealous, want the artist even if he's still a man," Alex said.
"No need to be on display there, ruin the scenery, change the same photo we both!" he said then walked out while holding his shame.
"Yes, I'll ask you to take the picture, don't be angry?" Anes follows Alex's steps, then grabs her husband's arm and they head to the dining room. There they have been waiting for Mr. Hari and Ms. Ratna.
"Duh nempel keeps kayaking stamps!" ledek pak Hari's.
"Maclum pa, newlyweds," said Ratna.
Anes who was embarrassed immediately took off his grip on Alex's arm. They sat down and had lunch together.
"Ma, after my lunch and Alex mas pamit yes, want to shop all because," said Anes.
"Aren't you going to stay?" ask Ms. Ratna.
"Other times ma," answered Anes.
"Yes go ahead and eat it, don't rush it" replied Ms Ratna.
"Yes ma," Anes and Alex answered simultaneously.
