Adrian brought a bowl of meatballs into the room, Anaya smiled as she smelled the smell of meatballs brought by Adrian.

Anaya got up and leaned her body back.

"Mas." Anaya murmured but could still be heard from Adrian's auditory senses.

Adrian smiling. Put a bowl of bangso that he made himself from the results of his hands. This is the second dish Adrian cooks. The first Adrian ever made fried rice omelet scorched. And now, Adrian is back making the meatballs that his wife asked for. Hope it feels good, not disappointing like before.

"The smell is delicious, mas." Puji Anaya's. He smiled as he looked at Adrian's face that was still sweating.

"Want me a bribe?" Ask Adrian. 

Anaya nodded." If you don't mind."

Adrian painstakingly began to steam Anaya meatballs from his concoction. Not forgetting before entering into the mouth of Anaya, Adrian had already blown it.

"How's it?" Ask Adrian. He stared intensely at Anaya's face, waiting for Anaya's reaction to the taste of her homemade meatballs.

Anaya fell silent, chewing.

"It feels good, mas." Anaya replied.

Hearing Anaya's words, Adrian stroked his chest in relief. Finally the meatballs he made wholeheartedly did not fail.

After spending almost half of it, Anaya refuses when Adrian is about to bribe her back.

"Already, mas. I'm full already." Anaya refuses when Adrian is about to return to feed her.

"One more bribe, huh, Nay?" Persuade adatin.

Anaya shook her head again." It's a darn, I feel sick again." 

Adrian put down his meatball bowl, then took vitamins for Anaya.

"Take the medicine first." Adrian's Letters. He handed me some vitamin tablets along with water.

Anaya took the medicine, and then took it." Thank you, mas."

Adrian again helps Anaya to lie down.

"Mas."

"Heem." 

Anaya pulled Adrian's hand and hugged him." I want to go back to Indonesia." Anaya.

"It can't be, Nay. Your health is still deteriorating." replied Adrian.

"I'm fine, mas. I want to go home, I miss aunt's cooking." Anaya Whine. He begged them to return to Indonesia.

"Okay, I'll take care of everything. But before we go home, we go to Mom's grave first."

Anaya nodded but still hugged Adrian's arm spoiled.

The next day Anaya was ready, this morning they would visit the grave of Adrian's mother.

"Nay, are you ready?" Adrian asked who had just entered the room. A moment ago, Erwin had called him to discuss the problem of building a factory in Bandung.

"Yes, what do you think." Anaya showed her appearance to Adrian.

"Good." Adrian walk. Hugged Anaya's body, then whispered." Whatever you're wearing, it'll always look pretty in my eyes." Adrian kissing cheek Anaya.

After that, Adrian releases his embrace, then walks into the bathroom. He had to clean his body first.

An hour later they were both ready. They're out of the room.

Haris, who was sitting at the dinner table reading the newspaper, put down his newspaper when he saw Adrian coming out of the room.

"Let's have breakfast." Take Haris.

"Where are you going?" Ask Vera.

" We're going to mom's grave." Answer Adrian. 

Adrian pulls out a chair for Anaya. Then pull up a chair for himself as well.

Adrian painstakingly took the bread, applied the chocolate slai and placed it on Anaya's plate.

"Thank you, ma'am." Reply Anaya. 

Anaya sipped warm tea and then enjoyed the bread made by Adrian.

"You've changed a lot." said Haris.

"I'm still like I used to be." Adrian said as he poured bread into his mouth.

Haris smiled as he sipped his coffee." Nay, you know, Adrian is a tempramental guy, angry and very arrogant. Anyone who hears the footsteps of his shoes, they will immediately run away in fear." 

Anaya smiled then glanced at Adrian, then sipped his tea.

This time Anaya remembered their first meeting until the end of marriage.

"Is that right, Ris? Ask Vera.

"Of course, he's the most arrogant guy in High School. All the girls in school are afraid to get close to him." Haris chuckles. And back to sipping coffee.

Vera smiled and shook her head.

"Where did you guys meet anyway?"ask Vera.

Anaya and Adrian look at each other.

Anaya smiled clumsyly as well as Adrian who smiled while scratching his head.

"We met on campus." Adrian replied, sipping his coffee again.

"So you're a faculty?"ask Vera.

"No. Aye." Yeah." Answer them together.

" What's right? Yes or no."

"We're a campus but not a faculty." Anaya replied with a smile.

After finishing their second breakfast. Adrian went straight to his mother's grave. And here they were, sitting together beside the mother's grave.

"Apakabar ma'am, sorry Adrian just had time to visit mom. Adrian is very busy. Oh yes, Mom, papa is dead. Did you meet her ?ask Adrian.

Adrian holding his mother's headstone, he looked down not felt a drop of clear liquid fall from his handsome face. Adrian misses, misses his mother very much.

Anaya stared sadly at her husband when she realized that Adrian was currently sad. Anaya rubbed Adrian's back." Don't be sad, I'm calm there."

The old suit looked down, Adrian wiped his tears then looked at Anaya with a smile. Adrian clasping Anaya's hand." I'm introducing you to Anaya, Adrian's wife. Now that Anaya is pregnant with her mother's grandchild, I hope that mother is as happy as I feel right now. Anaya's a good wife, ma'am. Although I hurt her feelings many times, she still forgives me."

Adrian embraces Anaya's shoulder, grasps Anaya's hand tightly, dips her in front of her mother's headstone. 

"Mom, meet me Anaya, wife, mas Adrian. Ma'am, I promise I will keep and accompany Adrian until anytime." 

After saying that, Anaya and Adrian then sow flowers and put some bouquets of flowers on the mother's tomb.

"Mom, Adrian has to go back to Indonesia. Someday, we'll be back here. Visiting mom with granddaughter.

Adrian smiled holding Anaya's hand and then kissed her.

After saying good-bye, they exited the burial area to a parked car not far from there. 

"Nay." Call Adrian.

Anaya turned her head."what's up, mas?"

Adrian cupped Anaya's cheeks." Thank you." Thank you." 

"Thank you for what, ma'am?"

"Thank you for forgiving all my mistakes." 

"Together, my mother." Answer Anaya.

Adrian fused his forehead with Anaya's forehead.

"Please promise to always be with me and never leave me." 

"I promise you, I will always be with you and will never leave you." 

Adrian dipped the head of anaya and drowned Anaya in his arms.

"I love you, love you so much."

"Me too, love you so much, mas. Love you so much."
