Since returning home from college, Raihan did not come out of his room. The Princess' statement admitted the man in the car was her husband kept ringing in her ear. She thought, her belief would be fine leaving the Princess was really happening, but it turned out to be wrong. He was not that strong, his broken heart was even more broken seeing the reality.
In that case, Raihan did not blame anyone. He blamed himself for not being able to make a firm decision. Not submissive, Raihan is just too afraid of his father. He just doesn't
want to disappoint her and sacrifice her feelings for the Princess. Now, only the room was the witness, how Raihan slumped.
Aisyah who did not see Raihan had lunch was curious, what her son was doing in his room. Usually, after returning from campus, Raihan always open the food lid or at least ask, what is cooking today?. Slowly, Aisyah opened her son's room door because his repeated beats were ignored.
Seen by him, his son who sat behind him lowered his head, his body swaying, it seemed like Raihan was crying. He came up to his son, holding his shoulder gently. Raihan immediately wiped his tears, trying to look fine by developing a fake smile on his lips.
“U-umi, what's up?” ask her with pretend cheerful.
“No need to lie. Umi knows, now Raihan is not okay, right?” ask Aisyah gently.
“Umi talk what? Good news, Umi.” Raihan is still lying. Aisyah smiled gently, then sat down beside Raihan.
“Raihan, see umi, son. Honestly, umi, why? Umi is your mother, umi is always on your side.” The woman said, as if forcing subtly to Raihan to tell the truth.
“Key can hug Umi?” she asked Doubtfully, Aisyah smiled, her eyes glazed over and then opened her hands to welcome Raihan into her arms. Seeing that, Raihan immediately hugged his mother without hesitation.
“Someone I liked and the time I left was married to someone else, Umi. I thought, after deciding to open my heart to Anisa, I would be fine, but it turned out that my heart was broken and
now destroyed Umi. It feels very sick.” Raihan doesn't care if he is considered a crybaby by everyone. For him, anyone has the right to cry, even if he is a man.
“Umi already said, think carefully before making a decision. Now it's too late, Raihan. If you leave Anisa, you hurt her, because you have given her hope, after all, umi's son is not a snatch of people's wives, right? Now, Raihan take the wudlu water, pray, son.
Ask God to ease your pain. Believe in God, the soul mate is not going anywhere.” The words conveyed by Aisyah made Raihan feel a little calm. He had to admit that he was too late to regret everything.

As per the agreement agreed by the two of them last night, after returning from campus, the Princess immediately prepared a suitcase that had been filled with both of their clothes and some necessary items.
His slightly disturbed mind with his brief chat with Raihan made the Princess a little chaotic, but he tried to keep Vian from suspecting him. He doesn't want to discuss Raihan anymore, he thinks everyone has
equitable. They have hurt each other and that is more than enough.
Vian, who asked for permission to talk to his grandmother, returned to the room. The man sat next to the Princess, taking part in folding the clothes that his wife had prepared. The closer it is to meet his in-laws
makes Vian's feelings become mixed. To be honest, he was not confident. What if the Princess' parents reject her? What's he supposed to do?
“ You sit down, Vian. Rest, later we will do a six-hour trip, I'm afraid you will be exhausted despite bringing Bimo along.” The princess reminded Vian, they will indeed do
traveling far away, the Princess was worried about Vian's state, let alone this was her first time.
“No. As long as I'm with you, I'll be fine.” Vian felt this journey would be
what an interesting journey. Vian wanted to know, what it was like to live in the area where his wife was born.
“Baby pandaku is wayward. Watch out later yes, if you get tired, don't blame me.” Threatens the Princess, but Vian ignores her and still continues to help his wife clean up their belongings.
“If I am tired, I can ask you to massage my body. Honey, what is this?” ledek Vian while carrying clothes in the upper part of the Princess.
“Ih, Vian, no turning?!” The Princess tried to snatch it from Vian's hands, but the man was good at dodging it so the Princess could not get what she wanted.
“Come try here if you can.” Vian challenged the Princess, making the woman anxious and unable to resist
he did not attack that man. Since Vian was sitting on the bedside, it was easy for the Princess to push down her man.
“Balikin Vian...,” Putri trying to reach the hand of Vian stretched far up, with the position of the Princess who was on it as now, Princess can see Vian's face very close. Eye gazes
the brand met, Princess hoped, Vian did not hear her heartbeat so irregular.
“If I don't want to go back, why? I've seen it a lot anyway, so why are you embarrassed like that?” Vian looked at the Princess's eyeballs in turn, the woman's cheeks heating up, recalling all the nightly routines
them. Princess sure, Vian can see the red pseudo on both cheeks. The woman tried to get up from her current position, but Vian pulled her again until the Princess fell down and made their lips meet. Time seemed to stop, both of them lasted for a few seconds in that position.
The sound of the door on tap finally made the two of them aware. Like a couple who were being caught off guard, the two moved away from each other and checked the condition of each other's clothes, the Princess immediately stepped towards the door to see who was coming, while Vian again busied herself in order.
“Grandmother, enter Nek.” The princess let her grandmother in. The old woman could see the nervousness on the Princess' face, as she stepped into her grandson's room, the grandmother also saw that the bed that was a little messy, must have happened
something, thought her grandmother.
“H-hai Nek.”sapa Vian awkwardly.
“What's wrong with you guys? Why did it suddenly become strange? Grandma no matter what you guys just did, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You are married anyway.” His grandmother chuckled, making Princess and Vian even more misbehaving.
“Ah, it's not what grandma thinks.” Sahut Putri slowly while holding her back neck.
“Already, just relax with grandma, look at it, grandma was also young. So, you guys are going home to the Princess today too?” grandma asked then, Vian felt relieved, finally their topic of conversation changed.
“Iya, Mother. We'll leave in a minute, get there at night. Do’ us yes, Nek.” The princess asked her grandmother for her blessing.
“Of course, grandma will always’akan the best for both of you. Vian, remember, no
“Siap, Mother. This granddaughter will show the Princess' parents that I am very worthy to be her son-in-law. “ said Vian steadily. Although she had never met the Princess' parents before, Vian was sure they would accept her with open arms.
***
Their long journey began. The princess was happy, finally after a long time not returning home, she could imagine the pleasure of her mother's cooking that she would soon enjoy later after arriving at
sana. The Princess had already called Good to inform her of her return, of course the Princess had not told her about Vian. He was very nervous and did not know where to tell Vian from.
The daughter could not have told her mother about the beginning of her meeting with Vian. Being a contract wife was not a common job, let alone a layman's mother, she did not want misunderstandings
and decided to let Vian say it later before the two of them.
The princess saw Vian looking agitated, there was a sense of anxiety drawn on her face. She must be very nervous because this is the first time she will meet the Princess' parents. The woman clasped the fingers of the man she loved. In his eyes Vian gently and gave his sweetest smile to the man.
“Everything will be fine. My parents will definitely understand, although there might be shock, it's common. I will not let you be in trouble alone, I will defend you in
their front.” She said softly as she lay her head on her husband's shoulder.The Princess' statement cooled Vian's heart, now the man can develop his smile.
“Thank you, Darling. To be honest, I was very nervous considering all of this. Anyway, it's my first time, it feels mixed. About, how did your parents respond, huh? Am I going to be beaten up with a kneecap handle for suddenly marrying you without their permission?” vian asked seriously, but the Princess laughed at the words spoken by her husband.
“My parents did not spread the bar, Vian. maybe you will just be snapped or in the jewel, I am also imagining, what punishment will they give you.” Princess chuckles. Actually, he just wanted to add to Vian's nervousness. His parents would be happy because he had married a respected person like Vian.
They talked about a lot of things during the trip. Bimo who watches them from his driving place feels happy with the happiness of his employer's granddaughter, although sometimes Vian is rude and fond
telling him to be alone, to Bimo, Vian was no one else. He was like his own nephew. Because of her sincerity, Grandmother Goddess always entrust everything related to Vian to her.

At the Princess's house...
Marni is cooking some of Princess' favorite foods. The princess had sent some money so that her mother could prepare a special meal to welcome them. Adit and her husband Parman also helped her. They both clean the house. The princess also ordered to change the mattress in her room with a wider one.
Since the Princess was under contract with Vian, she always sent her mother some money every weekend, making their family life a little better. His father bought some tails
goats for them to nurture by collecting little by little money sent by his son.
“Pak, why the hell, Brother Putri told us to clean all the houses? Usually if you want to go home there is no need to arrive like this.” Adit felt something was wrong with his brother, because usually his brother was never
asking for something when I get home.
“Perhaps, your brother will come home with his friend, so he asks us to clean-up.” Parman conjecture is true, it's just that the friend that will be brought Princess home is not an ordinary friend.
“True too, Mr.” Parman's answer satisfied Adit's curiosity.
“Dit, please buy soy sauce, Mak forgot!” shouting Marni from the kitchen, Adit immediately met his mother into the kitchen.
“Good Mak.”
After Adit died, Parman approached his wife who was cooking in the kitchen. His mind was suddenly interrupted due to Adit's question as they cleaned up earlier.
“Bu, I feel something strange is not with the attitude of the Princess?” tanya then, directing Marni where the topic of their conversation.
“Yes, Mom also feels weird, sir. Not usually the Princess asks in this much masakin when going home. Don't-don't, he brought his girlfriend from the city to be introduced to us.” Guess Marni with a hopeful look
Parman agreed with his thoughts.
“Can be, Mom. Our child is already an adult, soon to be betrothed and we have no right to set it up again, Mom. In fact, it seems like just yesterday we held the Princess when she was a baby.” Parman looked sad,
it made Marni feel sorry for her husband.
“Pak, we as his parents must be ready. Our task is only to raise and educate the Princess well.” Marnie tried to calm her husband.
“Not that, Mom. As a father, you are not satisfied to share your affection with him. Let alone make him happy, father even constantly troubles him.” Parman is sad.
“For that, mom also agrees with you. But, what can we do, sir. In fact, we cannot meet all the needs of the Princess. We do’akan course, may the Princess get a good husband, who
love him, thank goodness a businessman, so that our children can feel a decent life.” Marni said while flipping her fried chicken. There is nothing Marni can give other than do’a for the Princess and it seems that do’a a mother is extraordinary, the Princess has got a husband that is in accordance with do’a that her mother promised.
“Mother's right. We should always give do’a the best for the Princess, Mom. I even so hope the Princess really brought her future husband. Mr. Pingin soon got a daughter-in-law.”
“Basic of the father. Patience sir, who knows if we're wrong, the Princess just brought her friend from the city, right? everything's done, right, sir?” Marni made sure the whole corner of their small house was clean and tidy.
“Already, Mom. Everything is done, only the waist of this father who is sick. Later if you have finished cooking, massage your waist using balm yes, Bu.” Parman's message to his wife.
“Iya, sir, later mother incandescent. Now you just rest for a while, then take a shower. I want to finish some more dishes.”
“Good, Mom. Then you stay first, yes.” Parman leaves Marni after the woman confirms her words.
Marni drowned again in the cooking show.
