"Look easy, Sa. I'm a fun friend who's not afraid of being bothered." Jimmy replied with a crisp laugh, making Elsa laugh too, although actually his heart was restless when he remembered the two parents he left behind.

However this is Elsa's decision, and Elsa is convinced she can definitely make both her parents proud of her someday and both parents can definitely accept Elsa's wishes.

Elnaz felt very happy because he was accepted at the campus, besides Andy was also already in Jakarta and Andy was also accepted at the campus.

Arfan has also taken care of all the needs of Elnaz's college so that his little wife is just living her life.

"Oh yes, dear. Later on campus you should be able to take care of yourself, you know, do not get smitten with freshmen puberty." said Arfan who made laughter Elnaz immediately broke.

"Sister Arfan there is only, El kan love her same brother Arfan, her smitten is just the same Kak Arfan. So take it easy." replied Elnaz.

Currently his second just finished shopping some of Elnaz's needs for college, shoes, books, bags and others.

"Yes, I know, dear Elnaz. I'm just reminding you, you belong to your sister, you can't be liked and liked by others"

"Well, possessiveness is right, hm...." Elnaz pinched her husband's squashy cheek "So the more in love.." his words again made Arfan chuckle.

"What are you shopping for?" asked Arfan then because now both hands of Elnaz and Arfan were full of their groceries.

"Have, go home yuk.." take Elnaz because he has to pay attention to their expenses now, because after this the task of Arfan will be heavier in financing Elnaz and Elnaz must be good at being a wife so as not to wasteful.

"Eat first, dear.." said Arfan.

"Eat at home, brother. More efficient" replied Elnaz who made Arfan smile knot.

"Yes, your cooking is better..."

.........

Once at home, Elnaz immediately brought his groceries to his room. After that Elnaz changed his clothes with a knee-length negligee and he plucked his hair of origin.

While Arfan is preparing cooking ingredients in the kitchen.

"What is the cook today? Cook tempe bacem and fried chicken" exclaimed Elnaz had been like advertising alone and it managed to make Arfan laugh amusedly.

"There's just you..."

"Sister.." cried Elnaz while preparing seasonings for his fried chicken.

"According to Brother Arfan, where is Elsa?" elnaz asked in a low voice, he really did not want to discuss his former fiancee's husband but what power, what power, the ex-husband is also the older brother of Elnaz himself so when he heard the news of the brother who ran away from home made Elnaz also worried actually. His little heart could not be lied to that he still loved his sister.

Because before Elsa became an annoying ex-husband, Elsa was Elnaz's dear sister.

"Come, Honey. I also do not think about the behavior of your brother" said Arfan relaxed.

"My older brother is your ex." said Elnaz then who made Arfan immediately glance at his wife.

"Ehem ahem, the future's all we're talking about, honey..." said Arfan again because he was afraid Elnaz back angry or cold again on his only because his ex is his brother-in-law.

"Yes, now we're gonna talk about my sister, baby. I'm just worried, he is now where, who, and why to fight Papa Mama. Though all this time they are very dear to Elsa" said Elnaz, while Arfan who heard the words of his wife was just smiling knot.

Arfan is not surprised by Elsa's departure from her home for the sake of her ambition, because before her Elsa never did the bigger thing, which is to leave a marriage.

"Honey, that's the name of his ambition, willing to do anything to get it, but too ambitious like that is not good." said Arfan again.

In his little heart Arfan felt grateful, very grateful because he did not marry Elsa who was stone-headed and ambitious. Even Arfan himself is confused how he used to love Elsa and live a relationship for 8 years. Though Arfan already knew from the beginning the bad nature of his former fiancee.

Had Elsa been his wife now, somehow Arfan beat her stubbornness.

Arfan looked at Elnaz who was currently boiling chicken to be fried, then his little wife was putting in seasonings, salt and others.

The tiny hands of Elnaz moved with agility, while the look of his face seemed radiant even his lips also seemed to sing a smile. Elnaz looked very happy.

"Oh my God, even if he's just a substitute, but he's a pure gem. Purer than replaceable, stupid me who didn't fall in love with him long ago, where have my eyes been? until he just considers him a sister when he deserves more than that. If he had reached someone else's possession, I would have been very envious" Arfan exclaimed and suddenly he immediately hugged Elnaz. Making Elnaz who is currently stirring his chicken was jolted in shock with a hug arrived the husband.

"Why, Brother?" elnaz asked gently while rubbing Arfan's arm tightly coiled around his abdomen.

"Thank you, honey. Thank you for loving me, thank you for accepting me as your husband" said Arfan who made Elnaz frown in confusion. She turned around to face her handsome husband.

"Kak Arfan why?" elnaz asked while looking at Arfan with widened eyes, making Elnaz more beautiful in Arfan's eyes.

"It's okay, brother loves you, My precious" said Arfan who made Elnaz blushing.

"I love you more" said Elnaz "But why arrive romantic like this? Arfan's sister is hiding something huh?" accuse Elnaz who made Arfan immediately pulled the nose of Elnaz with anxiety until his wife's nose was reddened and of course Elnaz immediately scowled.

"Aren't you just realizing how valuable you are, honey. Brother is so grateful that God chose you to be my wife..." Elnaz smiled faintly at the husband's words, and of course he was also very happy to get a very special recognition from his husband.

"El was also very grateful, because brother made El his sister's wife"

"It looks like we're destined to be a match, baby"

"Aamiinu. May the soul mate until heaven"

"Aamiin, God willing..."
