Nayla and Fahad are ready to go to Mas Irfan's house. They both say goodbye to Andi. The arrival of Mas Reno and Mbak Mita surprised Fahad, Nayla, and Andi. The hijab woman who has boarded motor— dibonceng Fahad—itun came down and welcomed the arrival of her brother and sister-in-law.

“Where to, Nay?” mama asked while removing the helmet she was wearing.

Nayla approached followed Fahad, greeting Mbak Mita and her husband, alternately.

“Nayla wants to go to Mas Irfan's house, Mbak,” replied Nayla. “Sign in, yuk, Mbak, Mas.” Bring along. They all entered, sitting in the living room together.

“Kok Adit not coming, Mbak?” Nayla asks Mita's first child. Because he only saw Shila—the second son of Mita Mbak who was in Mas Reno's lap.

Mas Reno replied, “dia again tutoring, Nay.”

Nayla came to the kitchen, made a warm drink. Mita's mother caught up with Nayla, helping her sister.

Mita and Nayla had a little chat. Ask each other the news and a little spiced up when Mbak Mita teases Nayla about Fahad.

“You will soon be a wife, and you will also join your husband,” Mbak Nayla's voice sounds sad. Both beads of his eyes looked at Nayla with gentleness. His sister is already big, it feels like just yesterday he scolded Nayla when her sister was playing and quarreling with Andi. But now, his sister will soon be betrothed by the man who loves him, as well as the one his sister loves very much. Moreover, the man who would question Nayla was; an Indian national.

Nayla put the small spoon she used to stir the coffee on the table. He can see Mita's soft eyes. “Mbak, not all wives are with husbands. Many, really, who follow wife.”

Ck!

Mita's mom is upset. “A wife goes with husband after marriage is mandatory. Because you are his responsibility.”

Nayla smiles, “iya, Nayla knows. But, for example, the husband turned out to work in the village of the wife. What's the story?”

“Yes, that's another story. But if you are, you must follow your husband. Since Fahad is Indian, his work is also there. What is he here to do? English is not.”

“Construction work model. Kan, looks sell, tuh.” Nayla laughed.

“Ngawur!” mama Mita's Exclamation. “Come, ahead. Cold rush coffee.” The two walked towards the living room, with each tray containing coffee, tea, as well as snacks in their hands.

“Diminum, Mas.” Nayla put the coffee on the table, right in front of Mas Reno.

“Iya, thanks, Nay,” said Mas Reno.

Nayla takes over Shila from Mas Reno's lap. He kissed the cheek with his anxiety. “Uuww, very beautiful bangkan this aunt.”

”Mbak Nayla wants, tuh,” ledek Andi followed by the sound of her laughter. Mbak Mita and Mas Reno also laughed at Andi's teasing on Nayla.

Nayla glances sharply, “noisy!” nayla Dengus.

Fahad who saw the cuteness of Shila, and Nayla who was so anxious to kiss and hug her nephew was open voice, “sayang, I want to be Shila.”

Nayla stopped kissing Shila's cheek, she looked at Fahad sitting next to her. “Why?” tanyakanya.

“If I were Shila, you would kiss me every day,” Fahad replied without shame.

Nayla pinched Fahad.mbak Mita and Mas Reno who did not understand English, asked Andi who was still laughing.

Andi replied, “ he said Fahad wanted to be Shila, so that he could be kissed every day with Nayla.” Andi continued his laughter. Mita and Mas Reno also laughed looking at Fahad and Nayla alternately.

Nayla hides her face behind Shila's body, embarrassed. “Laughter on, ih!”

Fahad was still holding the part of his stomach that was pinched by Nayla. This time Nayla's pinch was a little sore compared to her previous pinch.

“Iya, yes, already.” Mita stopped laughing. “What's up, Nay? Ma'am Mas Reno here also want your relationship with Fahad.”

“Oh, yes, Beautiful Ma'am who loves extra money to buy tickets, right?” ask Mas Reno.

Nayla nodded, “I so not good as Mbak Indah.”

“If you don't like your cat, Ma'am,” Andi said.

“Yes, you love your mother to cats!” nayla Dengus.

Reno continued his sentence. “Why not good, Nay? it is the responsibility of your brothers. Instead, I want to apologize to you, andi also. Mas same Mbak Mita rarely really play here.”

“No, no, Mas, Nayla just as Andi knows that Mas Reno is busy. After all, Andi also often maen to the house of Mas the same Mbak.” Nayla.

“Mas same Mbak Mita agrees whatever your choice, Nay, the important thing is you are happy. Andi said Fahad was also responsible. I think really what Andi said, even though mas just met him this time.” Mas Reno looked towards Fahad who was playing with Shila.

Nayla nodded, “iya, Mas, she reformatted me. And that's the most important thing to me. Without mutual respect, it feels like a relationship it can not be said that it is love.”

“Yeah, Ma'am, such a poet. The power of love is dasyat. From Mbak Nayla who used to not care what it was to fall in love, now become bucin because of knowing Fahad.” Admired Andi.

“Nayla is right, Andi, a relationship that is based only on love and that is said to feel love, is nothing without mutual respect. Love is pseudo, only mutual respect is able to make love real.” Mas Reno chimed in.

“Wrong dialogue, wrong sentence, wrong place.” Andi. “Already, don't discuss love anymore. Andi don't understand.”

“What if you are, Ndi?" ask Mas Reno.

“Which way, Mas?”

“You have not yet? I'm ready for Lamarin for you, nih.”

Andi clucked irritatedly, he took his coffee cup. Sipped a little and then he put the cup back in its place. “How to have a candidate, only one class child if I already have a girlfriend. So no girl wants me to deketin.”

“Kok, can?" ask Nayla.

“Ya, can. Because I use the same profile photo, Mbak Nayla, there are still friends who have seen me with Mbak Nayla. They think that Nayla's mom is my boyfriend.” Andi's complaint is actually laughed at by Nayla as well as Mas Reno.

“That's been said, not a girlfriend. Still no one believes,” continued Andi.

“Finally?” ask Mama Nayla.

“Yes, I told you that Mbak Nayla is a wife. Not a girlfriend.”

“Ngawur!” exciting Nayla. “Besok if your friends have seen Mbak road same Fahad, they must report the same you, if Mbak cheating.”

“Let's aja.” Andi laughed a little.

Fahad who did not understand what was being discussed, he chose to keep playing with Shila who was in his lap. Shila feels comfortable with Fahad, even the sound of Shila's laughter when Fahad kisses her puffer cheeks.

Fahad stared fixedly at Shila's face, his eyes glazed over. Even with his heart back to feel sad, sore, hurt when he remembers his past.

***

After a long time they chat, and Fahad who was satisfied to play with Shila. Mas Reno and Mbak Mita decided to say goodbye home. For they must immediately fetch Adit, their son.

Fahad, too, rushed back to the hotel. He wants to be alone for now. Meeting and playing with Shila again opened the old wounds he struggled to face for approximately two years. Nayla's presence healed the wound. But for some reason when he met Shila, a ten-month-old baby, he had to remember and feel the heartache again.

O Allah. Why do I have to feel that wound? I was happy to meet Shila, but with that I felt sick again. The corner of my heart is again hurt ....
