It's been a month that Reynand and Marwa's household has improved. He never gets tired of constantly learning to understand Marwa. Starting from always appreciating the woman to make the woman happy every day. Sometimes the two rarely meet. Marwa who always waited for him in the living room even to fall asleep. A habit that occurs when Rey is late to go home.
They live in the apartment again. Now they both have a new house, a house that was presented by his father at that time, in fact he really wants to refuse. But the stubbornness of his father could not be resisted by Reynand. Inevitably he accepted it, he was eager to buy his own house with his own business results. Not burdening his parents. But his father said it was a wedding present for both of them.
Rey receives a message from his wife in which his wife always makes her favorite food and she gets used to Marwa's cooking. Especially sweet cakes made by his wife. All this time he was fine with his wife's cooking, there was not the slightest problem. Even with pleasure his wife will accompany work until late at night. Sometimes Marwa falls asleep on the couch just because she accompanies Rey to work.
A habit that eventually began to be a pleasant thing for the man was when someone accompanied him when he was tired.
He once wanted to open Marwa's veil when she slept very well. Like no one bothered him in the slightest, but because Marwa woke up, Rey did not so do it and did not want to repeat want to see the face of his wife.
It takes time, when later he will accept the reality of how his wife looks like. A big question mark, why until now they are still separated from the bed and do not try to understand each other.
The man entered the house that night, he found his wife as usual in the kitchen making cakes. Slowly Rey approached Marwa. "Why not rest? You're tired, not ready to prepare me, cook, nyuci. I find a maid who does not want to, you will also need rest," he said while embracing his wife.
"I'm nothing, Mom. What do you want in masakin?"
"I ate earlier, there was a meeting like that of a client, Marwa. So sorry I ate out,"
"That's okay, take a break!"
"I take a shower first yes, then come down again to taste your homemade cake,"
"Yes really!" Marwa pointed at Reynand.
"When do I try to lie to you?"
"Promise to like?"
Reynand thought for a moment. "Perfer people who do it anyway rather than made it, seriously do not lie,"
Marwa blushed in shame listening to her husband's words. She let go of her husband's embrace and immediately moved as the oven began to stop baking.
Rey who saw his wife getting more and more anxious and began to arise curiosity, but he understood that his wife still kept his distance with him. Every time Rey tried to hug, the woman dodged and was completely traumatized. Rey also secretly met her in-laws to ask about Marwa's fear of the opposite sex. And her in-laws detailed all of that, Rey who was starting to slowly want to touch Marwa. Starting from hugging, and holding his wife's hand. Although sometimes he felt that his wife's hands often shook when they touched.
"Wait here, I'll go to the room first. Take a shower, and we'll watch a movie together, okay?"
"Yes, what do you want?"
"Hmmm if you're not tired, I want to make mango juice?" pinta Rey's.
Marwa thought for a moment. "The mangoes aren't in the refrigerator, Mas. There's an apple, won't you?"
"Yes no problem, the important thing is not tired. I go to the room first" Rey stroked his wife's head and left her in the kitchen.
Fun indeed, but he still wants to slowly touch Marwa with that patience. Perhaps if she opened the veil quickly, Marwa would get angry or perhaps stay away from her more.
Rey does not want a mistake to happen, although married almost two months, but he still wants to keep his wife's heart well. Even all the goods from the Star had been removed by his mother. Rey does not want to disappoint the people who have been present in her life. Perhaps learning to accept was something he had to do.
Take a shower and dream there. Finally he came out wearing a small towel. His clothes are always neat. Every day Marwa took her dirty clothes in the room. It even replaces the sheets it uses. His room was also always clean of dust, there was not the slightest dust there. Although Rey was eager to ask someone to help her, but because she always refused, she had to obey because she did not want to fight over such a thing with Marwa.
Rey was dressed neatly, and she opted out of the room.
Rey came down from her room with her laptop. He finds Marwa in the living room with some cookies and drinks that he had ordered earlier. Rey immediately threw her body on the sofa and embraced Marwa then kissed her cheek behind the cover of her face.
"Mas uh, ngeselin,"
"But I'm ashamed to know that Mas kissed that,"
"Why embarrassed? We're married,"
"You're weird to know, no,"
Rey didn't care about it and immediately pressed the power button on her laptop. He waited a while, looking for an interesting movie to watch.
Rey finally opened one of the horror films, "Mas, what is a horror film?"
"Why? Scared?"
Rey looked at his wife for a moment, "Who's afraid?"
"You're Marwa,"
"No, I'm not afraid, no,"
Rey grins. "Come on, let's watch!" he said and looked at the cake. "I tasted the cake, yes" he said. That cake looks so good. As always, his wife's cake was delicious.
"Nake?" marwa asked as Rey started eating the cake.
Rey was infuriated by it, she thought it was a cake with a pandan flavor. But it is precisely the taste of greentea and makes it emotional.
"Marwa, you know I don't like this, right? Why are you still serving?" he said while throwing it.
It doesn't taste bad. But the instant the memory of the Star flashed as it felt the greentea again. The stars loved Greentea. His wife is currently serving a cake with a taste that he hates.
"I don't know, Mom. I didn't know you didn't like it" Marwa said, trying to explain.
Rey, overwhelmed by emotion, immediately moved from her seat and pushed the plate away until the plate and its contents fell apart on the floor. The plate broke, and made Marwa cover her mouth with her hands.
"Mas," call Marwa.
"What's? You did this on purpose?"
Marwa moved from her seat. "I'm sorry,"
"You're missing, Marwa. I told you I don't like greentea. You deliberately want to ing-" Rey hangs her words. Suffice him to know about the woman of his past.
"What Mas?"
"Nothing" he answered coldly.
"I've been trying to do this and it's really hard, this is how you do it?" lirih Marwa and Rey see his wife crying for the first time. The woman passed by leaving Rey in the living room.
"Marwa wait!"
The woman ran, Rey sat down and grabbed her hair why was it that only with the food was she able to remember the Star so well? Moreover, he had made his wife cry.
"I'm sorry, Marwa. You shouldn't be involved in my stupid memories with that woman."
Rey rubbed her face rough and felt so guilty for making Marwa cry.
