Even the little things will feel good when done together. No need to be luxurious, just increase your level of gratitude. Life will feel light.
{ CIETY AMEYZHA }
It was at the roadside tavern that Egi and Zahra were at the moment. Mingle with others, enjoy dinner. No cow steak or spagety. There is only pecel lele rice that is seasoned lovingly by merchants.
"Honey, why did you refuse to eat at the restaurant and choose on the side of the road?" ask Egi.
"There's no reason for that, Mom. Wherever we eat, the most important thing is comfort" replied Zahra.
Zahra took a mouthful of rice along with the side dish, thrusting it into Egi's mouth. Egi was silent at first, but slowly he opened his mouth and chewed it out.
"Tomorrow, we'll move."
"Hem."
"Don't bring a lot of stuff. I've asked people to fill our homes with furniture. I hope you like it."
Zahra nodded.
"Tomorrow, you should go home first to your parents' house" continued Egi.
Egi's question made Zahra think a little negatively. Will her husband return her? Will they end up here?
"What's my fault, Mom? I served you well, but you kicked me!" Sipping a little sweet iced tea. Tasteless, maybe the seller forgot to put the sugar in.
"Hey, who kicked you? We're not playing football!"
"So, Mas told me to go home to my parents. Means automatically, Mas kicked me out!"
The food had just been half a serving in, but Zahra's mood had been shattered. Marriage is not always fun. Sometimes we are confronted by two different egos.
Egi laughed a little loudly. His wife's thinking was too short. It is true that Zahra is still very young. So, naturally, if he is not too good at processing emotions well. Egi slowly pinched Zahra's nose.
"My wife is adorable" said Egi. "I didn't kick you, honey."
"Then?" Zahra frowned.
"I just gave you a chance to meet your parents first. Isn't it after marriage that we haven't been there yet?"
"Oh .. sorry," great-grandson of Zahra.
"Of course, finish your food. Don't forget to bribe me." Blinking one eye, teasing Zahra.
"Lecturer, spoiled!"
"At college, I'm your lecturer. Off campus, I'm your husband."
"Yes, yeah, yeah, Uncle's fridge."
"Hey, why are you calling me refrigerator uncle!"
"Uncle is cold as a refrigerator! Just remember how my uncle used to do to me. Just be with you, I feel at the north pole."
"Stop calling me uncle!"
"Yes, yeah, I forgot!" regret Zahra.
Discussion over. They continued eating. Spicy, savory and delicious taste mixed tonight. This pecel catfish may be common. However, it is the love of eating it that makes international chef dishes.
Eat done, Egi pay the bills. Do not forget that he always exceeds the amount that should be. He may not be rich, but sharing sustenance does not have to wait for a lot of treasure.
Zahra watched from the car, developing a special beautiful smile for her husband. The struggle to get an Egi is very difficult. If it were not for God's intervention, they might not be able to unite.
"Would you like to go home or go around first?" ask Egi as soon as he gets into the car, then start running the vehicle.
No more conversations. Egi pokus on the streets. Zahra looked out the window. The atmosphere of the city is very crowded, the world is not tired. A few people are still reluctant to leave a moment of his activity.
The night wind was pushing through the window. Gives a stabbing coldness to the body. Hinted at humans to immediately wade through the dream world. Today is over, tomorrow is coming. Save your moment of prayer, rest your hands for a moment. There are still many stories you should write later.

The next day as planned, Zahra and Egi move into a new house. Rendy and Lisa just arrived last night. Lisa gives a beautiful gift that she accidentally bought.
"Thank you, brother," said Zahra a little awkwardly.
"Return of love. Play here often, yeah."
"God willing, Brother," sidelines Egi. "We'll say goodbye first."
Egi and Zahra kiss the back of Lisa's and Rendy's hands alternately.
"Take care of your wife" said Rendy.
"God willing, Brother." Smiling sweetly, embracing his wife's waist. "As'salamualaikum."
Egi gets Zahra into the car, starts the engine and gradually leaves the house she has been living in since childhood. A home full of memories, warmth and abundance of affection.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," Lisa and Rendy answered together.
Lisa looks at the departure of her only sister. The little boy who used to be the reason for getting married and actually leads to happiness.
"I want to quickly have a grandchild" said Rendy.
"Patience, Mas. Adnan was a kid to get married."
"Yes, I know. Are we making another child?" Blinking one eye. "Let there be a baby in this house."
Lisa did not answer, she went straight into the house.
"I'm wrong again!" Clap her forehead.
Zahra and Egi were talking in the car. Egi expressed his desire that he did not want to delay the pregnancy. The desire to be a father continues to grow in the heart. Not infrequently when outside, he often notices the interaction between a child and father.
"I'm still in college, Mom!" reject Zahra.
"You can take a short leave of absence during childbirth, dear."
"Mas, getting pregnant is not easy. I don't even control myself yet. How can I be a mother?"
"Over time you can. All young mothers experience something like that? So what are you afraid of?"
As doubts begin to occur, the debate over children continues until the car takes them to a new home. Zahra came out, quietly standing waiting for Egi to open the door. While Egi several times sighed, facing Zahra indeed had to be a little gentle.
Egi came out, approached Zahra and entered the key. Without saying a word, Zahra walked in, climbing the stairs to the main room. An angry mixed feeling was enveloping. It blinds her that she is currently talking to a husband.
Zahra went into the room, sitting holding back a furious rage at the edge of the bed. Marriage is not as beautiful as her shadow. Small discussions often occur. Although it was eventually resolved easily.
Egi followed, walked up to his wife, then hugged her tightly while saying, "I'm sorry for putting too much pressure on you regarding the descent. My mature age sparked strong feelings of wanting to be a father. I promise I'll wait for you until you're ready."
Perhaps true, marriage is not a matter of uniting two people in a sacred bond. However, even the opposition of the two characters could not be avoided. Egi and Zahra bring good and bad respectively. No one is perfect, only complement each other.
"I'm sorry, too, Mom. I'm still too unstable to deal with just one problem. Promise me, Mas will continue to lead me until I convince my heart" Zahra said.
