I'm Not a Wild Grass

Home Viewing (POV Laila)

Arline came home after the time of the Zuhur arrived. Her husband, Colonel Amir, came to pick her up.

When compared, I actually feel astonished. How can Colonel Amir who looks quiet and dignified can be slapped his heart on the figure of Arline... Well, that's how it is. Hihahi.

If Arline could read my mind, she might curse me with a name that would make her even more raging.

Before returning home, Arline whispered back in my ear and asked the question that had made him yelled at by Erlan and Mama earlier.

"Shuut.. La. Let's tell me, how long will my brother last for your first night?" Persuade Arline to half beg half forcefully.

I gave Arline my brightest smile. I whispered back to her ear.

"Ra ha si a!"

And my laughter broke out at that moment. Lead to the departure of Arline who was upset because it did not succeed in eliminating the curiosity.

Related to my first night.. Obviously I'm not going to talk about it to Arline or anyone else. Because Nunik had advised me on my wedding day and Erlan. So that I do not tell about the relationship between husband and wife to others.

For in his hadith, the apostle saw. Saying that people who like to indulge in their relationship with their partner will later have the worst position in the afterlife.

I also felt a little embarrassed and also guilty towards Erlan, my husband. Because up to one Sunday was the age of marriage, we had not yet enjoyed our first night.

On the first night of our wedding, I was too busy in my sadness over Papa's reappearance in my life. So Erlan seemed heartless, and finally let me settle for crying for almost the entire night.

On the second, third, and last night, I came home from work from the night shift. Erlan and I were both too tired. Especially when my monthly guests come to visit on the third day. Cancel her making love.

It's just that, these past few days Erlan has been daring to ask me to warm up every morning we wake up. Blame also my mouth that is so bo doh and offered to help him feel relief because of his desire that has not been channeled.

Honestly, I've seen this blue movie once in my life. And it happened accidentally.

I was playing at a girl friend's house in High School. He showed me the blue film. And my eyes couldn't stop to see the show until the end.

I who during High School never dated, finally managed to be made curious by every scene in the blue film. Including the hand warming scene that I finally did to Erlan.

And I really didn't expect. It turned out that this activity became a morning routine that Erlan always asked me until this morning. Makes my wrist become quite sore also because I have to warm up in a long time.

But I don't regret doing it. Because there is a satisfaction when I see Erlan's face that looks peaceful in every end. I do love him more and more again (i really love him again and again)...

In the afternoon, around three o'clock, Erlan and I went home. Before returning home, I had a chance to meet Darman who seemed to be acting awkward when he accidentally met me.

To my sister, I don't feel any dislike or hate. I actually felt a little happier when I realized that I also have siblings in this world.

I gave Darman a brief hug before we parted ways. And I also clenched five pieces of red sheet money into his hands.

"It's to buy your book and your snacks, Ya Dar. If there's anything, don't hesitate to tell Brother!" Say me to him.

Darman looks overwhelmed. And even he had a chance to cry without a sound while delivering my departure. I heard her voice still sounding childish saying her thanks to me.

"Thank you, Brother Laila." said Darman with reddened eyes.

And then, I immediately left my in-laws' house. Without taking the time to say goodbye to my biological Papa.

I still need time to heal this wound in my heart. But just as Erlan, Nunik and Mama expected, I felt confident that I would be able to face Papa again. With a big heart and open welcoming hands. Hopefully that day will come soon. Aamiins.

Like Erlan promised. After my husband's childhood home, we took the time to stop by to see the house Erlan wanted to buy for us to live in.

The house is not far from downtown B. Her model is like my in-laws' house. With a yard surrounding the house. And I immediately liked Erlan's choice.

It's like the house I've been dreaming of all this time. Because he not only has a spacious courtyard, but also a considerable number of bedrooms (there are six other bedrooms in addition to the main bedroom on the top floor), a fish pond, and a, and its high shape with very well built air vents.

Without lights, this large house is also quite bright because the sunlight that can go directly through the large window glass that there is quite a lot.

"Where? You like it, Yang?" Ask Erlan to me.

"Like! I love this house, Lan! So you want to buy this house?" I asked.

"Thank God you like it. And yes. I'll take care of the payment process tonight. Next month we can move into this house. There are also many rooms here. So Mama Mutia can choose whichever room she wants," Erlan added later.

I looked at Erlan again with a haru look. I was overwhelmed when I heard Erlan's last two sentences.

"You're willing, aren't you, Yang, if Mama comes to stay with us?" Ask me to make sure.

First Erlan menci um the back of my hand that never separated from his grasp since we got down from the car earlier. Then he said seriously.

"Of course I don't mind, Yang. However, Mama Mutia has become my Mama now and whenever. So there's no way we're gonna let Mama stay in that contract alone?"

"Later I plan to find a home assistant as well to take care of and clean this house. So you and your mom no longer need to feel tired. Mama also no longer need to sell fried foods or be wash porters in people's homes, Yang.." added Erlan.

"You.. shame on you, Yang, have in-laws who do laundry work?" Suddenly the question came out of my mouth. And I managed to get that little pinch on my husband's cheek.

"Work you, Yang! Yes, not! Why should I be ashamed of the halal work done by your mother? Especially with that job, Mama Mutia has managed to support and raise you to be this sweet. I should be so grateful!" Erlan cried fiery.

"I just feel sorry for Mama, Yang. Poor Mama if you still have to be tired of work. You are the same mom at home. After all, I deliberately bought this house because the yard is also quite spacious. So if Mama wants to, Mama can be free to do her hobby."

"Hobby?" Ask me confused.

"Yes. You actually have a hobby of growing flowers, Yang. My mom told me herself. He said in his old house, Mama planted an assortment of orchids, he said,. Carnations and also other types of flowers," said Erlan back.

"Oh.."

And my memories drifted into my childhood. It does. As I recall there were many types of flowers in our old house. The house that once gave the best memories as well as the saddest in my life.
