FIRST NIGHT (Season 1, 2, And 3)

S2. Chapters. 22 - There is Grief in Happiness

The recitation had just finished, all the guests said goodbye after several people tried to strengthen the hearts of the families left behind. Jaka asks Jino to speak to him with four eyes. He said there was something important to talk about. The two men sat on the front porch of the house. Eating was not tasteful, drinking was bitter even did not reduce thirst that felt squeezing the throat.

Jino was still daydreaming staring at the pitch-black night. The sky is cloudy only two stars can be seen by the eye.

"Look, No. Tomorrow the car wants me to sell."

Jino was flabbergasted to hear Jaka's sentence just now. What other calamities would befall Jino's inner self now? After his brother left, now the only tool for him to scavenge sustenance was about to disappear from his grip. Jino was still silent, listening to Jaka's next speech. There is no right to that car. Because, the car is only a loan alias deposited from Jaka.

"The cost of labor is not all borne by BPJS anymore, Hesti also cesarean yesterday. The cost is quite swollen because it has been taken to a private hospital as well. This house is also due to repayment of the rest. If not immediately accommodated, then even confiscated back." Jaka took a breath, before resuming his words. "Eat him the car I bargained for temen. Some people want to buy a little more expensive than the market price. Let the rest of the installments he continues."

"Yes, Brother. No what. Later Jino find another job," said Jono. His mind was empty.

"You live here with Nisa? Help take care of your nephew too. It's okay, No?"

Jino just nodded. Nisa stole it from behind the window that was right facing the chair they were sitting in. The door was on the right side right next to Jino sitting. The girl let out a strong sigh, trying to neutralize the chaos in her mind. He settles slowly into the room while holding a tiny baby who has not been named.

"Your love. But Auntie will take care of you." Nisa cuddles the baby Hesti and Jaka. He wanted to have his own children faster. But now is not the time to think about it. The mood of grief is still enveloping, where perhaps Nisa will willingly force Jino to continue their delayed first night.

Nisa's phone rang. There's a call coming in from Risma, his best friend in Semarang. Nisa put the little baby to bed, and picked up the phone while running to the window deck. So that the sound is not too noisy and disturb the baby who is sleeping soundly.

"Hello, Nis. You are all right, right?! I saw on your Instagram story, you just got married already grieving. The strong yes, Nis. May your husband be quiet in his heaven."

"Heh, what are you talking about, Ris?! Ngawur! Who said Jino doesn't exist?!" Nisa raised her voice without shouting. He just put his words down.

"Well, so who died?"

"My brother-in-law! Then you if you talk filtered first napa! I also don't want to be a campaign widow first!" Nisa's goosebumps herself don't dare to imagine. He doesn't want to lose Jino that fast or any later. At least, she wanted to age with her husband.

"Don't tell me you two haven't been uhuk-uhuk?"

"Belom, why?"

"Dam."

"His name is also in mourning, where he thought about it!" Nisa was half upset.

"Jaudah, Nis was arrested. Believe me, after difficulties there must be ease. After grief there will be a time when happiness comes. Fried bananas are a good snack after passing the heat of the pan, right? You can definitely get through this, Nis. Keep up the spirit!" Risma as sincere as possible motivates her best friend. He felt guilty and could not be near Nisa when Nisa was in this distress.

"Thanks to Ris. May you be wedded to marriage."

"I'm taking food, right? You haven't eaten in the morning. It's gonna hurt, I'm following the pain."

"Later, not yet a laper."

Nisa is approaching Jino. Jino's fingers are full of affection and understanding. "We eat together, right? I'm hungry too, you must be hungry, right?" rayu Nisa doesn't give up. He was sad to see Jino moping and did not want to eat at all. His face was deathly pale, his lips even looked dry.

"You eat first, I want to rest," declined Jino lazy.

Nisa thought for a moment. He took the initiative to go to the kitchen and prepare dinner. Alena and Nevan brought them rice boxes. Her brother and sister-in-law were very understanding, they knew that Nisa, Jino and Jaka must have not eaten.

"Want to eat, Nis?" Jaka's voice was still hoarse due to the rest of the crying.

"Yes, Brother. Want to eat too, right? Let Nisa be ready." Nisa instantly took out an extra plate. Move the rice along with side dishes in the box onto the plate. He also prepared a glass of water on the table, then another glass was placed on the tray along with a plate of food for Jino.

"Thank you. Oh yes, please take care of Jino and the little one for a while?" pinta Jaka endured the pain of his soul. He still could not believe that his wife had just left for good.

"Sister, don't think that Sister Nesti left us forever. He is just waiting for us in a better and more beautiful place. So, Kak Jaka should also stay upbeat! No need to cry now, but tomorrow you have to smile again. Because Kak Hesti must be happy to see a loved one happy."

"Yank, eat yuk? A plate is both romantic," bargained Nisa half seduce. Jino didn't budge, just shook her head.

"Emh, the chicken is so good, Yank! I didn't have any taste to be an appetite!" racau Nisa is deliberately heating up. "Aish, it's better to eat it with a halal lover huh? Backed up," he added glanced at Jino.

The man got out of bed and sat cross-legged on the carpet. He faces Nisa, a second later Nisa feeds a spoonful of food into Jino's mouth. Jino chews her hard-earned food. Seeing Nisa's bright smile, Jino's heart rumbled violently. The girl is like a nutrient that fills the void of nutritional value in Jino's body.

"That's dong." Nisa's feeding again.

"You eat too, Yank," Jino took over the spoon, instead of her feeding Nisa. "Look at your smile I'm full, Yank," continued Jino pinching Nisa's gnarled cheek.

"I'm also full if you're the one who's bribing."

The door of the room is slightly open. Jaka peeked with a full view of haru. "I'm sorry No, Nis, I'll take the little one first" he murmured softly. Then shut the door and went to his own room.
