Six months later

I don't think time goes so fast. It has been six months that Aldo and Cika have sailed the household ark with happiness.

However, there was a slight disappointment in Cika's heart that made her often daydream alone. The restlessness that enveloped Cika's heart made her more aloof and more reserved than usual.

That night, Cika was sitting in the garden next to the house. The look on his face showed a deep sadness.

"Darling, why daydream?" aldo hugged his wife's body from behind.

Cika did not make any sound, she immediately turned her body and hugged the husband she loved so tightly.

"Why are you, baby? If there is a problem, do not hide yourself! I'm your husband. It's appropriate that you share this sadness with your husband" said Aldo, who made Cika unable to hold back her tears.

"Hiks,, hyx,, hyx."

"Come, we're in! We'll talk in the room!" aldo said as he clasped his wife's hand and walked into their room.

Arriving in the room, Aldo hugged his wife's body lovingly. Cika was washed away in her husband's arms while she broke tears.

"Tell me, baby! What's troubling you right now?" said Aldo who was ready to hear all the complaints of his wife.

"I'm an imperfect woman, Aldo! I can't give happiness to you, mama and papa. They really want a grandchild out of you. I can't give all that to you. Hix,, hyx,, hyx." Cika let out all the burden of her thoughts and sorrow while crying bitterly at her husband's feet.

"Sika, baby! What are you doing?" Aldo immediately raised Cika's body and hugged her very tightly.

"Hiks,, hyx,, hyx,"

"Maybe we'd better split up, Aldo. You can remarry with a woman who is able to give you offspring. Not like I'm totally useless. Hix,, hyx,, hyx." Cika even thought to part with the man she loved so much.

"Enough, Cika! I don't want to hear these words anymore! Whatever happens, we'll stay together. Whether I have a child or not, I still love you! We will be together until death to pick me up." said Aldo who also began to shed tears.

"It's not as easy as you think, Aldo! Mama and papa really expect the presence of grandchildren in their midst." said Cika who began sobbing.

"Mama and papa are not selfish people. They will understand this situation. They will not let our happiness be taken away just because of a child. Please understand, baby! I won't let go of our marriage so easily. I can't live without you, baby! Don't even think about leaving me!" said Aldo who could no longer bear the sadness in his heart.

"But, Aldo...!"

"That's enough, Cika! Don't you want me as your husband anymore? Is this the only love you have for me?" aldo asked who was still shedding tears.

"No, Aldo! It's not. I love you so much. Therefore I want to see you happy." said Cika while sobbing in the chest of her husband.

Cika started to calm down after hearing her husband's words. She could not lose her beloved husband either. But on the other hand, he also did not want to disappoint his mother and father-in-law.

In the stillness of the gripping night, Aldo lay on the bed hugging his wife.

"I love you, Cika! Stay like this!" The words that have always come out of Aldo's mouth since Aldo first expressed his feelings for Cika.

Cika finally fell asleep in the arms of her husband. The sorrow that became a burden in his life, momentarily disappeared as the night passed.

In the morning, Cika woke up with eyes that looked very puffy. Even though it has been covered with makeup, it still cannot cover the look of his face that is harboring sadness.

Cika went downstairs with Aldo holding hands. Arriving at the dining table, Cika just fell silent while enjoying her food.

"Sika, baby! You why? Your eyes are puffy, son? You've had a fight with Aldo?" ara asked while looking intently at her son.

"It's okay, Ma! Cika just lack of sleep. It has nothing to do with Aldo." said Cika with a voice that sounded heavy.

"You don't have to be afraid, Cika! If Aldo hurts you, tell me papa!" added Alvin who also suspects his son has hurt Cika.

"Yes, Pa! Aldo did nothing to Cika! Cika just lack of sleep." said Cika.

The breakfast was very awkward because of Cika's very confusing condition.

"Yes already, mommy and papa go first! If you are not feeling well, just rest at home! Let your mom finish the job at the boutique." said Ara as she left the dining room with her husband.

*****

A week after Aldo and Cika's wedding. Cika was active in the boutique helping her mother-in-law until now. Since Cika joined Ara's boutique, the boutique has grown rapidly.

Cika's expertise in the field of designers, making customers in Ara boutiques growing every day. What else are the upper class women who have fallen in love with the best design made by Cika.

*****

A week had passed after the great debate between Cika and Aldo that night.

Since the incident, Cika never again discussed the issue of children with her husband. Their lives are back to normal and happy as before.

That morning, Cika is escorted by Aldo to her mother's boutique. Cika already has an appointment with a bride-to-be who wants to see the results of her plans.

On the way to the boutique, Cika and Aldo still look happy while joking in their luxury car.

Arriving at the boutique, Aldo clasped his wife's hand as he walked into Cika's room.

"Good morning, Mr. Aldo, Buk Cika!" the princess welcomed the arrival of the two of them.

"Good morning, Princess!" sahut Cika with a very sweet smile towards the Princess.

"Sorry, Buk! There was a woman waiting in Ibuk's room. I told him to wait outside, but he insisted to wait inside." said the Princess a little nervous.

"Who, Put? What is our customer candidate?" ask Cika who is getting confused.

"No, Buk! If it is not wrong name Melia." said the Princess who immediately made Cika and Aldo look at each other.
