Arka woke up in the middle of the night, as usual he always prayed tahajud on the sidelines of his sleep. Arka looked at Zahra who was sleeping very gracefully with her natural beauty.
Arka confused whether he woke his wife or not, Arka still silent to notice Zahra who was still closed.
The longer he looked at Zahra, the more he wanted to stroke Zahra's face. His hands began to lift, drawing closer to Zahra's face.
Zahra woke up, because indeed he was also used to wake up to night prayers, making Arka shocked, to thwart his intentions.
"Mas Arka." said Zahra when he opened his eyes to see Arka's hand that had just approached
"Yes, you're awake, I'm just about to wake up.. Let's pray tahajud" replied Arka with a wrong behavior
Zahra just fell silent, then followed Arka's steps to wudhu to the toilet.
The night changed in the morning, after breakfast Arka invited Zahra to the office, because Arka had to bring several books for her script, and at the same time say goodbye to both her parents and sister for tomorrow to leave for England. After going to the office Arka took Zahra to his mother's house.
Nisa welcomes him with great pleasure, hosting Zahra like a special guest, not to mention she is very happy to be able to cook both.
While Arka was busy with her laptop, and sat in the back yard. Umi, approaching her.
"Arkaaa.." said Umi greeting Arka
"Yes Oma." replied Arka remained focused on her laptop
Umi immediately sat next to Arka, he noticed her grandson, looking at the laptop that Arka was looking at earlier.
"Arka, do you love your wife?" ask Umi suddenly
Arka instantly averted her gaze, so stared at the Omanya. Arka was silent without a word.
"Have you fucked your wife?" ask Umi who is actually very curious
"Why did Oma ask that?" ask Arka curiously
"Oma saw, Zahra was like she was upset, like something upset her." replied Oma explaining her heart.
Instantly Arka just fell silent, he really did not understand about women.
"What did Oma see?" ask Arka more curious
"Yaaa looks so from his eyes, he is carrying a burden.. Oma is afraid that she has not felt love from you yet." replied Oma told
"Maybe he was sad to have to leave his parents, tomorrow he must come to England." replied Arka guessing, so that Omanya did not suspect
Oma just nodded her head, Arka refocused on her laptop. Nisa and Zahra suddenly came, bringing drinks and snacks they made.
"Masya Allah fragrant cuisine once." said Oma praise
Zahra and Nisa just smiled, they served him on the table. Arka immediately took her laptop and let them serve food.

When the night changed, after dinner Arka invited Zahra to his room, like a couple Zahra and Arka slept together in Arka's room. The room is quite spacious, more facilities than Zahra room at home. Arka invites Zahra to chat on the bed before going to bed, he wants to make sure Omanya's speech is correct or not.
"Zahra.." said Arka opening the chat
"Why Mas?" ask Zahra briefly
"Are you carrying a burden? Try to talk to me." said Arka directly
Zahra was silent for a moment, actually there were many who wanted Zahra to say to Arka.
"Zahra would like to ask Mas Arka, has Mas Arka received Zahra as the wife of Mas Arka?" asked Zahra with a feeling of dagdigdug not careless
"Why are you asking like that?" arka asked back
Arka sees Zahra is not okay, she still does not understand the feelings of a woman.
"Yes have received dong, right this is until we have slept together, right? You really why? What's up?" Arka said gently in fear of making Zahra feel offended
"But I don't feel like a newlywed." replied Zahra quickly
Arka was more confused by Zahra's answer, he again did not understand what he meant in which direction.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.. I'm still awkward, I'm not used to touching women, not to mention I don't understand women." said Arka gently, looking at Zahra's face and holding Zahra's hand
"Yes, we go to sleep, tomorrow we have to go in the morning" Zahra said
Zahra immediately closed her eyes, eyes that she could bear to not let out tears.
"For a while I'll stay, I want to go to my mother." said Arka as she stroked Zahra's hand
Zahra answered nothing, as if she had fallen asleep. Arka went out to meet her mother who was in the room, and lay alone with her oma. Arka calls Nisa, and takes her father's work room.
"What's up, son? Not that you should sleep with your wife." asked Nisa because it was strange to see her son
Arka did not answer, he just immediately grabbed his mother's hand to go inside.
"Someone wants Arka to talk about, ma'am." said Arka with a little whisper
Nisa understood directly sitting opposite Arka, her son.
"Mom.please teach Arka to be the right husband. Please tell Arka how the husband is doing." said Arka with serious eyes
Nisa smiled at the words of her son
"The husband must support the birth and mind of his wife and child" Nisa replied with a smile
"Arka knows it's Ma'am. That means Zahra wants to feel like a newlywed, huh, ma'am?" arka asked Zahra
"Hehe.. Have you fucked Zahra? It's intimate." said Nisa with her laugh
"Not Ma'am, Arka doesn't dare." replied Arka honestly
"Now your wife Zahra is entirely yours. That intimate relationship is the same as nourishing her inner self. Maybe your wife means she wants a soft caress, wants a loving call from her husband." said Nisa at length
The Ark of the dead, like thinking of something.
"Well, thank you, ma'am.. Please tell Arka later, because Arka does not understand women." Arka told Nisa
Nisa just smiled amusedly at her son. Truly an innocent child forced to marry Nisa said in her mind.
The conversation ended, Arka returned to her room, and sure enough saw Zahra had fallen asleep.
"I must be able to do good to Zahra." said Arka slowly to himself.
Arka turned off the main light, and turned on the sleeping lights that were beside the mattress. Zahra was aware of that, because she was not yet completely slumbering.
Arka did not want to build Zahra to connect, Arka immediately slept beside Zahra and hugged him from behind.
Zahra was very surprised, the first time she was embraced by her husband.
"Dear forgive me." said Arka whispering in Zahra's ear
Zahra woke up again with Arka's embrace, and whispered Arka. Zahra's heart became an ungodly dagdigdug, she was so happy with her husband's treatment now.
"I have to be like this, maybe in this way I can love Zahra sincerely, not just appreciate as a wife" Arka said in her heart.
