Rony approached Riko who was still confused by everything that had just happened. Even now her brother hugged her tightly. Before long she heard the sound of sobs. It felt the shoulders of the man who was hugging her shaken. Rony crying? Rony's sorry? Rony said thank you? What the hell is going on?
Naila fell silent, unmoved in place. He himself still did not understand what really happened to his brother-in-law and his wife. While Vella just smiled cynically while looking at Naila. Vella is pretty sure all this was just engineering her husband, one part of a plan.
"Riko, I'm sorry. Thank you for helping me. I'll go to the house you offered me. The sooner it may be the better for all of us." Rony spoke to Riko who still looked at him in disbelief.
"Sister, I didn't throw you out. Stay here for a few days, I'll drop you off on Sunday morning" said Riko, who still doesn't believe her brother. Without being asked, Rony immediately asked himself to leave his house. What plans is her brother planning?
"No, don't feel sorry for your selfless brother. You want to help me, I'm so grateful to you. If it wasn't for you, I might have been a vagabond" said Rony. She really wanted to change this time, even though her sister might still not believe her.
"Alright, at least we leave after the dhuhur. Let's have lunch first. My wife cooked for all of us. It's a pity that no one eats. Brother has never tasted my wife's cooking?" riko tried to persuade her sister.
"All right, thank you. Me and Vella will go back to the room and get ready. Naila, thank you, yes. And sorry for my wife's rudeness." Rony said everything sincerely. Naila looked at Rony's wry eyes, looking sincere. He was nervous about his sister-in-law's words.
"I-iya, Brother. Doesn't matter. I'm okay, sister," Naila said with her best smile. Naila had no idea what her sister-in-law's true nature was, but if she was being nice to her right now, wouldn't she have to do the same?
"Come, Vella. We need to get ready." Rony took Vella's hand to take her to the room. Before leaving, Vella looks at Naila. The woman he looked at only smiled at the behavior of his sister-in-law.
Naila approached Riko who was still looking at her brother. Riko still did not trust Rony completely. Is this one of their plans? That was all that was on Riko's mind at the moment.
"Maas ...." Naila rubbed her husband's arm gently.
"Eh, sorry dear. I got daydreaming. Let's just talk in the room, I'm still confused how to deal with them."
"Alright, I also want to take a shower first, so hot, sticky and smelly."
Riko grabbed his wife's shoulder and walked into his room. While Naila was in the bathroom, Riko sat pensively by the window. Even until Naila finished bathing, Riko's sitting position still remained the same. Naila let her husband like that, she immediately performed the dhuha prayer because there was still time. Continue by reading some pages of the Quran, as a chiller of qalbu.

"Whatchu mean? Is this part of your plan?" vella asked Rony after entering their room.
"No, Vella. I don't want to continue with all our plans. I want to change, I don't want to hurt my sister. Vella, let's build a real household. I'll work, you take care of the house. I want us to have a child too. I want us not to have any more fun like we used to. Want to, yeah, honey?" persuade Rony. Looking at his wife's facial expression, he knew Vella wouldn't agree.
"Nobody incited or influenced me. I want us to live a normal life like any other family, honey. Please, let's try, okay?" Rony was still trying to calm his wife's emotional heart.
"No! I won't obey you! Just find another woman you can make your maid. The kid? Did you forget about our commitment, huh?" exclaim Vella did not accept.
Rony was silent, not intending to continue their debate. He was forced to leave the room, leaving his angry wife. Vella wouldn't accept that they had to move. Vella doesn't accept that she has to be frugal. Vella does not accept that she must start learning to be a true housewife. Vella doesn't accept all her decisions. Even Vella wouldn't want to if they had a child. All because of him who had not been a head of the household.
Naila's voice that was teaching, faintly heard in the ears of Rony who was sitting alone in the family room. Even Rony shed tears again. The sound of the holy verse being chanted by Naila pierced his heart. For a long time he was no longer facing the Almighty. Rony also enjoyed the chanting of sacred verses that began to make his heart feel calm.
Shortly thereafter, the voice of the dhuhur adhan reverberated. Calling his people to come immediately to pray together, especially the people of Adam. Riko came out of her room, walking out of the house towards the mushola. Stopping in the living room, her brother is seen sitting alone and daydreaming, not as usual.
"Sister, let's pray together at the mushola. We leave together, but not yet iqomah." Riko tries to invite her brother even though she is hesitant and will accept rejection. However, the prejudice turned out to be wrong.
Rony raised his head, his body moving following his sister's steps. Even himself was confused as to what had happened to him. It's just that right now he really doesn't want to add any more sin. While Vella is surprised to see her husband leaving for the mosque with Riko. Even he did not expect Riko to have turned into a man who was diligent in worship. Vella growled, did they all change because of Naila? Vella won't take it, she won't let Naila take it all. Naila has mastered Riko, lest Naila also affect her husband.
Vella went into her room, slammed her body into the bed. She had thought everything was fabrication from her husband, it turned out that she was wrong. Rony doesn't want to continue with all his bad plans. Even Rony accepts all of Riko's offers and intends to start building a household properly. Learn to skimp and live in a style that suits your abilities. That's what made Vella angry, she didn't accept her husband's decision.
Vella was silent, thinking of a plan. Not even 2x24 hours, her husband has changed. Vella believes everything is because of Naila, she who has instigated Riko and finally Rony was beguiled. The innocent and weak-looking face, it turns out to be just a mask for Vella. He promised to make calculations for his sister-in-law's wife. Picking up the phone on the dresser, Vella contacted one of her best friends.
"Hi, how are you? We haven't been together for a long time, will we meet tonight?"
" .... "
"Okay .. I wait seven in the usual cafe."
" .... "
"Bye .. bye ...."
Vella smiled, she will soon launch the action. Getting rid of the village woman who had already obstructed his intentions. A village woman who has influenced her sister-in-law and her husband.
