In a resting place. A man sat staring at the tombstone in front of him. His black glasses covered his two teary eyes.
"Mama, how are you? Hardian's coming. Sorry, just came today."
"Ma, Hardian is married. But, not like the woman you want, the good woman of the good family. Hardian's wife had a bad past, she was also a widow, but still a virgin. Very far with the criteria of the daughter-in-law that you want."
"I love her, ma. Although she likes to tease men with her widow status, but she is a good woman ma. The woman who made me fall in love in just a few weeks. The woman I never wanted would be my wife. But that's the truth. The woman is now legally Hardian's wife, Ma."
"I will defend this marriage. Restui your son, Ma."
After enough talking with the mother who was covered with land. Hardian got up and left. He returned to the office to pick up the wife who might have woken up from her sleep.
"Wait for me" said Hardian, smiling happily. He was like a child who got permission from his mother to buy his favorite toy.
"We will be together forever" Hardian said, replying to his wife's embrace. After that, they left the company.

In the main house.
"Tante Stela, I want to talk" Azizah said after entering Hardian's aunt's room. Azizah from the beginning had called her aunt, while Hardian used to call her aunt, because aunt Stela came from the village and there was used to wearing the call of aunt.
Despite being a half-sister, Stela's aunt and Hardian's biological mother did not live together.
"What's wrong?" asked Aunt Stela smilingly looking at the daughter of her best friend.
"It looks like this matchmaking can't continue, aunt. Mas Hardian already had a lover," explained Azizah, although she did not reject the matchmaking and also could not resist the charm of a Hardian, Azizah did not want to be the third person among them.
"They're just lovers, it could be that their relationship broke up halfway. Keep the spirit to win her heart. Approach him if at the office, have lunch or anything important your relationship is getting closer until Hardian loves you."
"But .... "
"Rest! There's no need to think of anything other than how to approach Hardian." Without answering any more Azizah came out from Aunt Stela's room after a glance at the middle-aged woman.
Actually from the beginning he refused this matchmaking, but his mother had a debt to Aunt Stela. So he complied with Aunt Stela's will in exchange for repaying the debt.
"Is this really what I'm doing, my God?" Azizah went up to the bed and laid her tired body.

In apartment. In the kitchen, exactly.
"Well, charred," said the Princess looking at the pan on the stove.
"Sorry," replied Hardian who was as meaty as frying.
The princess breathed out slowly. "What are you thinking?"
"You."
"What?" The princess was surprised not because of the man's answer, but at this time the man was being a tombal. It feels like the Princess wants to laugh loudly, where maybe a man like Hardian let out a word of dreadlocks.
"I'm thinking of you" Hardian replied with a serious face. The princess could no longer hold back her laughter. He was stunned, the man was flailing with a serious face.
"Is there anything funny?" the question made the princess laugh.
"Great uncle." The princess held her two thumbs right in front of HardianH's face while laughing giggling.
Hardian caught the woman's hand and smiled gently with loving eyes.
So the princess went up to the seventh heaven. The one who was giggling now smiled shyly like a shy princess grass, if touched directly embarrassed.
They stared long enough.
Come on, tell me you love me! Romantic, supportive atmosphere. Say, you love me!
"We eat out."
"Huh?"
"We're eating out" Hardian repeated.
"Well," replied the half-hearted Princess.

Next morning.
The princess was already determined to say what had become of her pilian this morning as well before the man left for the office.
"Uncle, can we talk for a second?" princess Pinta after they finished breakfast.
Hardian scrunched his forehead. It seems so important.
"About our relationship" Imbuh Putri.
Hardian nodded his head then walked towards the sofa in the direction of the Princess who was walking behind the husband.
Hardian waited for his woman to speak. The woman seemed doubtful.
"It seems like next time we talk," said the Princess after a long silence. Hardian just looked at him confused.
"What's wrong?"
The princess smiled awkwardly. "I'm confused what to say."
Hardian smiled. "Next time we talk."
"But I want to talk now."
"Speak!"
"I forgot."
"So?"
"Emm. I remember a minute."
Hardian wanted to laugh at his wife's funny behavior. However, he held it as hard as he could, he did not want the wife to increasingly fail to focus.
"I remember" said the princess after a few minutes. Hardian silently waited for the woman to speak.
"But where do I get confused?"
Hardian let out a long breath. Then bring her face closer to the woman's. Cup. Hardian smelled at the woman's sweet lips, making her even more misbehaved.
Well, I'm being blank and shaky.
"I want us to separate," said the Princess finally in one breath. Hardian did not respond, he just looked at the Princess with an illegible thought. "Just parted for a while, before we were completely convinced of our relationship" continued the Princess. He wanted to keep the marriage in his own way. Says this guy's a way to pull.
I want to give you time to think about our relationship. Maybe if we stay apart you can figure out what our relationship really means and how it ends.
Hardian did not reply, only staring at the woman in silence.
"I'll go, pick me up if you've got any answers about our relationship."
I gave you two months. No, that's too long, one month. Yeah, one month if you don't come in the last day. I'll make sure my legs are strong enough to kick your ass.
Not getting any answers from the husband, he assumed the husband agreed. He went to the room to pick up the suitcase he had prepared.
"I go, take good care of myself" said the Princess and walked towards the door. The princess had already opened the door a little, before coming out she stared at the man's back.
He's not holding me back. Though I wish to be detained even though I say goodbye temporarily. At a time like this, I can be a plan. Not coming out, huh?
By closing her eyes, the princess stepped out and closed the door.
"Why did I hesitate at the last moment" muttered the Princess softly with a bent face.
