The renovation of the balcony to add to the kitchen is over. Time to clean up the dust that drains the energy. Julia and Septian worked together to clean every corner of the house. Although it was exhausting Julia was satisfied to see the end result. He now has a small kitchen neat and clean to experiment cooking cooking.
Septian had also bought furniture to fill the second floor. A sofa and TV are perched sweetly in the living room. Medium size refrigerator for stocking groceries. And a washing machine to ease Julia's work.
Julia was grateful for what her husband gave her. Although living in a house with in-laws but he has the freedom to learn to manage his own household. Julia loved to cook and she always overestimated her portions to be shared with her in-laws downstairs.
Even at home, Julia's days are busy. He takes care of homework, cooking. Every afternoon he would hang out with the Septian brothers to establish familiarity. If the night has come he focuses on doing the tasks given by Septian to do the bookkeeping and answer questions from clients. Septian was also increasingly hard working, aware that his account had to be replenished immediately for household stability.

"Try to be chosen for the decoration of what model?" Tanya Mbok handed over a promo album from a WO to Julia who was accompanying her to watch the soap opera.
"Good Mbok …. " Julia received the album and observed every single one of the pictures. He completely forgot that soon it was time to go ghost.
"I want this one, Mbok" Julia points to a rustic theme that is simple but romantic. The coat of arms is decorated with small bulb lights, white flowers and dry leaves as the backdrop.
"good. What does her wedding dress look like?"
"How about using the wedding game yesterday Mbok?" Julia had no idea what clothes to choose. According to him, the wedding game yesterday was still very good and beautiful.
"The other Jul let it look different. Besides, the dress rental is already in order. It's a shame it's not used." Tell the Mbok.
Julia finally complies. She chose a white long-sleeved bridal dress with lace accents, brocade and pearl sprinkles mixed with Swarovski crystals. Hopefully later the MUA provided by WO will dress it syar'i.
Catering and invitation business has been taken care of by Mbok and Mr. Julia and Septian just take it clean. Because Septian parents and villagers do not understand the concept of syar'i marriage. So they succumbed to avoid a less-than-happy conversation later on.
Septian asked Julia to wear gloves if she had to shake hands with a non-muhrimnya. It cannot be done in a hurry and sudden manner. The preach must be conveyed gently and slowly in order to enter the heart of the recipient.
Good preaching is not only through rhetoric but also accompanied by adab and morals. Julia as a new person will follow the rules of the game in that area. The principle, where the sky is grounded there the earth is upheld. He will be cooperative during the implementation of the event does not contain idiosyncrasies.

For the second time Septian and Julia became kings and queens a day. The difference this time they sit together at the table. And their show is boisterous with the accompaniment of mixed songs. Julia was embarrassed and careless to watch the hundreds of guests who came.
Many villagers praised Julia's beauty. But there are also residents who whisper about the origin of Julia who comes from far away and not accompanied by relatives on important days like this.
Julia and Septian greeted the invited guests kindly. Some of the invited guests were important people in the village. The Septian family is quite prominent in the community because of the success of its business.
From a distance Julia can see the figure of Dian with her parents entering the area. Dian's father the Village Chief looks authoritative, some guests deliberately stand up to greet him. Kades' mother looks beautiful even though she is already aged kindly she greets and shakes hands with invited guests.
Dian and her parents sat at a special guest table. Right in front of the veneer. Julia's heart grew even more uneasy as Dian and Mother Kades observed herself with judging gazes from toe to head. There's no flush like from Mom Kades's face. While Dian looks lethargic. He simply greeted the guest who greeted him with a forced smile.
After enjoying the dishes available, Mr. Kades got up to invite his wife's children to shake hands with Septian and Julia.
"Welcome to Septian, may you have a baby soon!" Mr. Kades patted Septian's arm.
"Thank you sir for taking the time to attend" replied Septian politely.
Afterwards Septian cupped his hands to his chest as a greeting to Mother Kades. Mother Kades's face was visibly displeased as Septian avoided shaking hands with her. Julia immediately shook Kades's hands in a friendly manner for the sake of politeness.
"Good luck with that. Same Septian he's a good young man. If it wasn't for you, he'd be my daughter-in-law." Said Kades' mother slowly barely whispering while hugging Julia.
Julia bristles, she is afraid of the figure of Miss Kades which makes her feel threatened. Julia's heart beat hard as if racing. Julia was unable to answer, she just nodded her head while smiling bitterly.
Dian cupped her hands to her chest as a greeting to Septian. Then he immediately greeted Julia but said nothing. Only her pretty face looked glum. He looked at Julia and Septian alternately with an expression that was hard to decipher.
Throughout the show Julia kept on being restless. Septian looked at him repeatedly in confusion. Heart wonders.
"Is there really anything unfinished between Dian and her husband?"
