"Yes Ma..em.I mean mama" said Nadhifa smiling little, because still not used to change the call to Ms. Rahma.

"Dear, it's okay" said Ms. Rahma.

"What would Mas Revan eat?" ask Nadhifa gently.

"Anything you get me will eat" Revan replied with a smile.

Ms. Rahma smiled happily at the interaction of the two, although it looked very awkward, but they tried to get close to each other.

"Good mas" said Nadhifa.

then Nadhifa took the rice and put the side dish into Revan's plate.

"Thank you "revan said after Nadhifa finished her work.

"Sister-in-law, eat a lot of yes" said Winda

Nadhifa nodded and picked up the rice and side dishes to put on her plate.

Dinner was over, the bidding twins went into the room to rest.

Ranti and her husband also came into the room to rest let alone Airin who had fallen asleep since the Maghrib had run out, the little boy was probably very tired because he was too active to play.

In the living room, Ms. Rahma was still watching TV accompanied by Revan and Nadhifa, occasionally speaking lightly during commercial breaks.

Ms. Rahma looked at the clock at 9 p.m., and ordered Revan and Nadhifa to rest.

The two walked to take Ms Rahma into her room, making sure Ms. Rahma was okay.

Revan and Nadhifa walked in tandem, towards their rooms, occasionally Nadhifa saw the sight seen from the top of the stairs.

"Look ahead of Dhifa, later you can fall" said Revan softly.

"Oh yes, sorry" said Nadhifa.

"I'm not angry Dhifa, I just don't want anything to happen to you" Revan explained, holding Nadhifa's hand.

Nadhifa's heart skipped a beat as Revan's hand led her, Revan's palm felt warm and made Nadhifa feel calm.

"Let's take a break" asked Revan.

Nadhifa nodded and followed Revan who was lying on the bed.

Nadhifa felt very awkward with their positions adjacent, let alone the two of them in that room.

Nadhifa fell silent and only looked at the ceiling of the room, trying to neutralize her pounding heartbeat.

"Dhifa" call Revan softly.

"Yes, mas" replied Nadhifa looking at the face of Revan who was so close to him.

"I know we married without love" Revan said.

"Even so, I will try to be a good husband to you" Revan added.

Nadhifa smiled at Revan's words, Nadhifa knows Revan is a good man.

"Yes, I believe" replied Nadhifa.

"I will also try to be a good wife to you" continued Nadhifa.

"Thank you " said Revan.

"Sama-sama" replied Nadhifa.

they were both silent, not knowing what to say.

"What's your favorite color?" ask Revan suddenly.

"Actually I like gray and navy mas" replied Nadhifa.

"Oh yes, so our favorite color is the same" said Revan who did not expect if his wife likes the same color as him.

The handsome man thought that his wife would like pink or other bright colors like women in general.

"What's Revan's favorite food ?" this time Nadhifa asked.

"I really like my mama's chicken opor" Revan replied.

"Then, I will ask you to teach me how to make a good chicken opor" Nadhifa said, staring at her husband's handsome face.

"I can't wait to eat your chicken opor, it must be so good" Revan teased.

Nadhifa smiled shyly at Revan's temptation.

"If you like to eat what?" ask Revan.

"I like clear-fruit foods" replied Nadhifa.

Revan frowned at the reply of his wife, Nadhifa who understood immediately explained to Revan.

"I mean foods that have clear soup such as spinach, vegetable soup and others" explained Nadhifa.

"Oh like that, then tomorrow make me food like your favorite" Pinta Revan.

"What would Revan love?" tanya Nadhifa hesitated.

"Look at Dhifa, I'm an all-eater" Revan replied with an amused chuckle.

Nadhifa smiled when she heard her husband's answer, they continued the conversation until midnight, Nadhifa who was very sleepy not knowing if she had fallen asleep to let Revan speak for himself.

Revan who realized there was no answer from Nadhifa, finally turned his body to face Nadhifa, it turns out that his wife had fallen asleep with the hijab still attached to her head.

Revan raised both lips smiling looking at the peaceful face of Nadhifa who was asleep, somehow Revan felt very calm when he saw the innocent face of his wife, the man also did not know, he felt happy when Nadhifa was beside him.

Starting from their first meeting in the orphanage, Revan was already interested in Nadhifa. differently when Revan introduced Bu Rahma to his friend's child.

Revan also could not deny if his heart was racing while with Nadhifa, but Revan tried to act ordinary, hiding his nervousness so that he could get to know his wife further.

He raised one of his hands to stroke the head of his wife, Revan brought his face closer to the forehead of his wife long enough.

The handsome man took a blanket to cover the body of the woman who was already his wife, for fear that his wife would get cold, Revan also laid his body beside Nadhifa.

"I will try to love you Dhifa, and I will promise to be a good husband to you" Revan said.

Before long Revan also fell asleep because his eyes were also very sleepy.

...

Nadhifa opened his eyes lazily, glancing at the clock on the table, seen at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Nadhifa got up to perform the tahajud prayer as usual, Nadhifa stepped his feet towards the bathroom for ablution.

When he came out of the bathroom, Nadhifa saw Revan sitting on the edge of the bed, she felt bad, thinking that she had made her husband wake up.

Nadhifa approached the bed and stood beside Revan.

"Sorry, if Revan's sleep is disturbed because of me" Nadhifa said.

"You're not wrong Dhifa, I'm used to waking up at hours like this" Revan said stroking Nadhifa's head wrapped in his long hijab.

Nadhifa did not expect that her husband was also used to praying tahajud as well, in the heart of Nadhifa was very grateful because he was reunited with Revan and his good family.

"Do you want us to pray together? " ask Revan.

"Yes, if Revan is willing" replied Nadhifa looking down embarrassed.

"Well I'll go to the bathroom first, wait a minute yeah" said Revan passed by leaving Nadhifa and took the sarong and cocoa clothes stored in the usual place.

As yesterday afternoon Nadhifa rolled out carpets and prayer mats for herself and Revan, her husband.

They pray together, feel the peace they get when complaining about all the problems of the almighty, in the heart of the newlyweds pray for the family made sakinah mawadah warahmah.

After Revan's prayer flipped his body towards Nadhifa, Nadhifa took Revan's back hand to kiss, Revan also stroked Nadhifa's head.

"Pray me to be a good husband to you" Revan said after Nadhifa kissed the back of his hand.

"I also mas, remind me if I'm wrong yes" said Nadhifa.

Revan nodded, in his heart Revan was grateful to be reunited with a kind girl, not only his beautiful face but Revan was also sure if Nadhifa's heart was also good.

Revan lay his head on the prayer rug that was still spread, making Nadhifa shake his head.

"Why did Revan sleep here?" ask Nadhifa.

"I'm so sleepy Dhifa" Revan replied with his eyes closed.

Nadhifa nodded to let Revan fall asleep, the girl remembered that she had fallen asleep first last night.

"Mas Revan, I'm sorry I overslept last night" Nadhifa said.

"It's okay, I understand, you must be very sleepy" Revan replied by opening his eyes.

Nadhifa smiled because Revan wanted to understand her, then Revan invited Nadhifa to lie next to him, Nadhifa obeyed her husband because she felt still sleepy, neither long asleep.
