Akhtar will temporarily take Arumi home to his apartment. He plans to buy his own house after completing his important work.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the destination. Upon arrival Akhtar immediately parked his car, then he got out of the car followed by Arumi and dropped off some of his luggage and also Arumi.

"For a while we lived in my apartment first. After my work is done, I will look at the house." said Akhtar while lifting some luggage.

"Yes. It doesn't matter where he lives that matters to Mas Akhtar." said Arumi. He helped Akhtar carry the rest of his belongings.

Akhtar smiled. "Yuk." take Akhtar.

Arumi follows Akhtar's steps. Akhtar Apartment is located on the fifth floor so, they have to use the elevator to take it there. Before long the elevator that carried them clanking and opened, Akhtar again stepped out and was followed by Arumi behind him.

After entering a few digits, the door of the Apartment was opened. "Yuk, come in." said Akhtar. Arumi nodded and followed him.

Akhtar Apartment is not too big but wide enough to live with two people. Arumi looked at every corner of the room. There is a kitchen that blends with the dining room, a living room that is at the same time a TV room, there are also two bedrooms. With shades of blue and gray, it felt comfortable. Thought Arumi.

"Don't keep looking. Sorry it's quite messy and maybe a little dusty. Understandably I rarely exist in the apartment so rarely clean it too" said Akhtar

"Ah, this is still pretty neat. Just calm down I'll help clean it up."

"Don't be too tired, I can call someone to come clean it up."

"It doesn't matter, Mas. Let me be, why would I be Mas's wife if I can't do homework?."

"But you don't get tired. Okay, let me show you our room."

Akhtar took Arumi to the room he used to place alone there. The room was quite large, after Arumi went inside. The aroma that was similar to Akhtar's body immediately burst through his sense of smell. Very soothing.

"This is our room, you can keep your clothes in the closet" Akhtar said, pointing to a three-door closet that was quite large.

"I'll take a shower first, you clean your clothes first."

"Yes." Yeah."

While Akhtar was bathing, Arumi kept the clothes she had brought to the closet Akhtar had pointed out earlier. He was still confused about which closet door he should be in and finally he opened it all. It turns out that Akhtar clothes are very much too and almost all clothes are expensive, some suits are also there. Do not want to linger then Arumi keep his clothes in the empty part.

After that he also cleaned up Akhtar's room and replaced the bed sheet with a new one, which he previously got from Akhtar's closet as well. Then Arumi picked up all the clothes that Akhtar had previously worn but still kept hanging and stored them in a dirty laundry basket. Now the room looks clean and looks nice.

Arumi turned to the kitchen. She knew that her husband must be hungry, and that it was time for lunch. So Arumi took the initiative to cook. Lucky after opening the refrigerator, it turns out that the inside is full and complete. Arumi intends to cook simple so that Akhtar will not wait long.

Some time, Akhtar came out of the bathroom after a long time to clean up. He was so surprised to find that his room, which was a little messy, had now become neat and clean.

After wearing clothes, Akhtar intends to invite Arumi to come out for lunch. Akhtar knew that Arumi must be very tired because of the trip, what else he also had to clean up his room. But who would have thought, after exiting the room Akhtar found his wife was in the kitchen and was cooking.

"What are you doing?" akhtar asked after being close enough to Arumi.

Arumi turned his head, because his position was turned back to Akhtar. "Ah this, I'm again making sweet sour shrimp. Mas just wait at the dinner table, soon finished." explained Arumi and resumed his activities.

Akhtar just complied and sat down at the dining table. He did not expect Arumi would actually cook for him. Is he not tired? Akhtar thought when he saw how agile Arumi was in the kitchen.

Soon, all the cooking was on the table. "I'm sorry I used the ingredients in the fridge without telling Mas" Arumi said as she pined rice and badger for Akhtar.

Having a wife is really good. There are dirty houses that clean, hungry there is cooking, eating there is to take and every need there is to prepare. Thought Akhtar.

"Everything in your refrigerator can use it. Mine is yours too, so don't apologize." Akhtar said.

Arumi smiled in response. Somehow Arumi's smile made Akhtar's heart tremble. Very sweet. Not wanting to think about it, Akhtar chose to fill his stomach which was already hungry. They ate quietly without anyone making a sound.

"I'm going to the hospital, something needs to be taken care of. It's new night to go home, so go to bed first" Akhtar said after finishing his meal.

"Yes. Emm, that means you're not having dinner at home?" ask Arumi while cleaning the dining table.

"It doesn't seem like it, but I'm trying to get home fast so I can eat at home."

"Oh, okay."

"I'll go now, you're at home careful."

As Akhtar prepares to leave, Arumi suddenly stops him. "Wait!"

Arumi washed her hands first because it was dirty, after which she wiped it. While Akhtar still do not understand the actions that Arumi did.

Arumi approached Akhtar and grabbed his hand, then he kissed her. "Mas be careful on the road" Arumi said afterwards. Akhtar understood what Arumi had done to him.

Akhtar smiled then kissed his wife's forehead. On the contrary, now Akhtar's actions even make the originally calm heart of Arumi is now racing. "Yes, I go first" Akhtar said. Then he really left.

Arumi***bust because she felt something strange there. A second later he cried, I don't know what made him have to shed tears again. Maybe because he was too moved by Akhtar's actions or maybe he was reminded of something.
