The Contract Husband I Love
15. The City

Next day. All wedding and reception are complete. Niken and Ardi can finally get out of the house too. Indeed, Mita and Bambang still have not given permission to them to leave the house because there are still many things that need to be taken care of. However, persuaded Niken able to melt Mita by saying, if he and Ardi want to enjoy the two as husband and wife.

Mita could not refuse Niken's request when it comes to making her husband happy. What else they are a newlywed couple, it is only natural that you want to spend time together.

The two left after breakfast so as not to get stuck in traffic. Today's agenda is to visit Ardi's parents' house in Bandung, as they agreed a few days ago. Indeed, Ardi wanted to go see his mother and father while they were still in Bandung. However, Niken could not give to fulfill such requests and only today, that wish can be fulfilled.

The Atmaja family has returned to Jakarta, so inevitably they have to circle back Jakarta-Bandung.

Niken focused on driving, while Ardi was engrossed in his own thoughts. There were many words filling his mind. Ardi prepared him from now on so that when he met his mother and father was not too groggy.

***

After traveling for almost three more hours, they finally arrived at the village where Ardi lived. The car drove at a slow speed, passing residents who accidentally passed by.

Ardi closed his car window tightly, he didn't want anyone to recognize him there, or his villagers would go berserk, maybe even drive him out a second time.

They also did not know that Ardi was in the car. They were just staring strangely because a luxury car was about to enter the village.

"Where should we go after this?" ask Niken for confusion. Due to the narrow net because it is intended for one direction, and access to the entrance is quite difficult to pass, inevitably Niken slow down the speed of his car, so as not to disturb the surrounding residents.

"There's a three-way junction ahead there, we turn left," Ardi replied directing.

Niken nodded, he immediately accelerated the speed of his car to get to Ardi's parents' house immediately.

The car turned left as Ardi said. "Where else after this? Is it still far from your parents' house?" ask Niken back.

This is the first time he has gone through this alley. Even though he was born and raised there, Niken has never passed through the area or maybe he forgot about the location.

"My house is at the end of this road. Soon we will arrive" replied Ardi rahu.

His feelings are chaotic. His mind was withering, thinking of questions he might have to answer later. He set his breath so that his nervousness was reduced. However, what he did did did not reduce his grooves at all.

Niken glanced at her husband, "Calm down. We're gonna face this together. I'd be in charge if they asked me this and that. You're not alone, I'm by your side."

As much as possible Niken entertained Ardi. She stroked her husband's shoulder, focusing on the street.

Not that she felt awkward or angry, but Ardi felt calm, peaceful and comfortable as Niken touched her shoulder accompanied by an encouraging sentence.

"Thank you for lifting my weight, at least I feel calmer than before" he said, smiling at the woman who is now his wife.

Niken breathed a sigh of relief. He replied with a smile. "By the way, where's my mother and father-in-law's house?" she teases.

Ardi had almost forgotten their purpose in coming here. Because too focused on admiring the sincerity of Niken, making him forget his own home.

"Here!" he said suddenly, which finally made Niken brake suddenly. "Here?" chirps Niken make sure.

Ardi nodded, "Yes. It's my house!" I pointed out the window.

Niken looked, it turns out that Ardi's house was on the left side deserved he did not see it. He nodded and immediately his car was pushed aside so as not to disturb the others.

"Come on!" invite Niken enthusiastically, while removing the sibel and pull the car key.

Ardi set his breath first. He looked very nervous and also sweating. Niken hurriedly took some tissue, and she carefully wiped her husband's sweat.

Niken frowned, "I just want to wipe your sweat away. Is something wrong?" the reply is ketus. "If you don't like it, then. I just want to do my job as a wife, that's all. No more," he scorned, who shortly afterwards got out of the car.

"Ardi, what you said touched her feelings. His intentions are good, but you suspect him to be like a thief. Basic bodo! Idiotically. Stupid," hard on yourself.

Ardi felt guilty as well. He was too stupid to accept all the goodness of his wife. He also released the sibel, then out of the car following Niken who had already left.

Niken took out a parcel from the trunk, which she deliberately bought as a handpiece for her mother and father-in-law. Although not much, she hopes that her in-laws can accept the gift.

Ardi also helps Niken to bring some parcels. "Let me help." His hand immediately snatched two parcels out of a total of four parcels they bought.

Niken did not reply, she snorted as a sign of her frustration. Next he walked away from Ardi without saying anything. Meanwhile, the twenty-seven-year-old man, was breathing heavily. Niken's attitude is so because of his insensitive actions. So he accepted all forms of protest from his wife.

Niken did not enter the house. He stood in the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of Ardi who was still behind him.

"What's wrong, why didn't you come in?" the question is insensitive.

Niken threw a sharp look, "You're the host. So you're the one who came in first and not me. Did you forget that, ah?" grunted annoyed.

"Yes. Yes, sorry. I forget. Let's go in!" invite him while smiling knots, with a hand carrying two parcels.

Niken interrupts while putting on her best smile to face her mother and father-in-law. Ardi took a breath first before waltzing towards the door.

Meanwhile, inside the house. Ati is in a hurry, his clothes are neat with makeup that is not too thick and thin.

"Change! Come on, he said he was leaving!" his shout called out to Kang Asep who was still preparing in his room.

In that simple house, the two live with a son who now knows where the jungle is. A few days ago, there was news that Ardi was in Jakarta and had done a wedding. This makes Ati happy and grateful because his son is fine.

"Yes, Mom. This Abah is also ready," replied Kang Asep waltzing out of the room. The appearance is not too luxurious and also the village, at least neat and clean.

"Come, Mom!" take Kang Asep, while tidying up the ape's clothes.

A perfect smile from the two men who have been in a household for thirty years. Their relationship was always harmonious, there was rarely any conflict. Although there is occasional debate because it is natural in building a household.

The two started walking towards the door. However, they had not yet reached there, a knocking sound was heard.

Ati and Kang Asep looked at each other, "Who's coming?" Ati was also curious, who would want to visit their home.

Kang Asep shook his head with a raised shoulder, "Let Abah just open the door" he said and immediately left Ati there.

"Yes, Wait!" kang Asep shouted, as the door was still being knocked.

There were no greetings heard, so Kang Asep wondered who had been visiting at this hour.

CREK ...

The door is open. Kang Asep's eyes glared like he wanted to jump out of place.

"and ... You ..."
