"Dear I'm home." Aldo approached Reva who was holding the baby.
"Not Assalamualaikum mas?" Reva spoke a little tilting her head.
"So I said it, and Bi Tuti answered." Aldo smiled broadly, stroked the pretty baby's head and kissed it.
"I didn't get your kiss?" his protest.
Aldo smiled amusedly, indeed it was the first protest he heard since they were married, the man immediately grabbed and kissed the entire face of his wife. "More or less?" Aldo.
Reva smiled shyly got so many kisses, slightly shaking her head.
"There's Anggara downstairs, he wants to meet Zahira." Aldo grabbed the small body and carried it.
"Why did he meet Zahira, it was so weird." Reva smiled inexhaustibly with that super busy guy.
"Let it be, he's a little weird." Aldo laughed, bringing Zahira down.
"Well, there's a pretty girl!" Anggara immediately went to Aldo who had just come down from the stairs.
"Here you carry, take care and love my daughter." Aldo gave the tiny body in the warm hands of Anggara.
"Ah of course, I promise to protect, cherish, and always make this little girl happy, you don't have to worry." Anggara immediately hugged and kissed Zahira's cheek with great anxiety.
Aldo laughed and passed away leaving the two men, it seemed like he wanted to go to the restroom.
"Aaaaaaa." the baby's voice made Anggara look at him in amazement as well as in disbelief.
"You have a voice?" asked the man to talk to the two-month-old baby, he was so happy and was getting more and more happy playing on the sofa just by himself.
"Hurry up big, so we can walk alone and play games.we'll play together and spend some time together, I'm sure you'll be happy." the man was so excited to get Zahira to talk.
"Yetoooo." Zahira gave a voice as if she understood what Anggara was talking about.
"Yes, especially if you're an adult, you're free to come to me, my house, my office. If you need anything you say, I'll do it all for you." the man drifted to talk to Zahira until he didn't realize Aldo was standing behind him.
"You seduced my daughter?" Aldo surprised Anggara.
"I'm just talking to him." he said, the handsome guy who always looks elegant looks wrong.
"Ish you here, those are words of seduction for a girl. Are you practicing?" Aldo sat down and looked at Anggara.
"No!" the answer is trying to explain.
"No way, you sound so romantic, I'm afraid my son will fall in love." Aldo took Zahira from Anggara's lap.
"You're so stingy." stared helplessly at the little baby taken back by his father.
"To keep your sanity." Aldo gave Zahira to his wife who had just come down.
Reva laughed at the ramblings of the two handsome men in front of her.
"Just look if he's grown up, I make sure he'll come home to my house" he said, still upset, the man grabbed the suit he had taken off and returned to wearing it.
"Where are you going?" Aldo looked at her suspiciously.
"I'll just go home" he answered, walking towards the door.
"You sulking?" Aldo chuckles amusedly seeing Anggara upset and leaves.
"What else?" the answer really went missing behind the door.
"I think he's getting a monthly guest" Aldo said, shaking in disbelief.
"He seduced my daughter." Aldo replied pointing to Zahira.
"I think that's weird not only him, but you're a mas too!"
"Of course he's stranger" Aldo replied again.
Reva lazily argued and soon passed leaving him.

"Dev you're finally home" said Reina, relieved to see Dev standing at the door.
"Why? do you miss me so much?" dev asked Reina, the man immediately took off his shoes.
"I'm tired of being alone" he replied.
"If you're my wife you'll always be alone, so get used to it." Dev turned his head.
"Different if you are already your wife" she replied still with her face bent.
"What a difference, isn't it now that we're alone, also later when we get married there's only the two of us."
"Of course it's different, if we're married we'll think about something else, like tomorrow's plan, later, or where, what do we do?" he raised one hand in front of his chest.
"Where are you going to do what?" goda Dev brought her face closer.
The girl went back into the room and lay down, it seemed like she was really bored.
"Later in the afternoon we go for a walk" said Dev trying to cheer him up.
"All right, I want to." she smiled happily. "But that was my mother calling asking me to come home soon." her face turned disappointed.
"Tell your mother I'll come over the weekend." Dev sat down near Reina.
"You're serious?" the girl still doubted Dev.
"Of course, you said you could accept me then there's no reason for me not to be serious. Isn't finding someone like you really hard, not necessarily a few years later I can find a woman who really accepts me for who I am."
"Mother will be glad to receive your arrival" she replied with a sweet smile.
"Do I have to explain this pain to your mother?" Dev stared at that face, he was only worried about the girl. But he doesn't seem to care about anything.
"No need, just apply me as in general, I don't want people in my village to know anything about you, enough they know if you're a military man and I'll come with you."
Dev stared at the girl's face again, Dev could guess if Reina was having a bad thing in her village, maybe some kind of bully and other pressure. Or maybe the memories with the former are degrading as he once told when they first met. But let it be, maybe by marrying a military man like himself will make a sense of comfort and confidence back, Dev thinks if his life is still useful.
"Well, I'll go with you all I want." he said softly, Dev knows what it's like to be ostracized, distant, ignored and abandoned. It happened while in the battalion his friends changed when he found out he had HIV, but not with Rey.
She remembers when Rey found out about her illness, the man always encouraged her to never leave her, even more attentive to taking Dev to the hospital, he was indeed the best friend.
"You daydreaming?" Reina grabbed Dev's face to face him.
"Slightly, just remembering the sad thing." replied Dev did not refuse to look at the face before him.
"Is my presence not enough to make you happy?" reina asked, she really hoped that in Dev's heart there was only herself.
"We will open a new page after this, you are the beginning of happiness that we will build together. Are you ready to be so hard on me?"
"I'm very prepared" he replied with great confidence.
