" Watching you happy brings blessings to my life" Arjuna said as he gently hugged his wife.
Dhita closed her eyes after leaning against the chest of Arjuna who caressed her affectionately.
Seeing the incident, the driver smiled as he occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror.
" It's married but like someone who is dating," murmured the driver slowly but still can be heard by Arjuna.
" It should be so, sir, the longer the marriage bond of love the stronger," said Arjuna staring at the driver with a smile.
Hearing a remark from his employer, the driver felt embarrassed and quickly apologized for fear of getting angry from his employer.
" I'm sorry sir, I just...."
" It's okay sir, I'm glad you said so, it's a sign you're paying enough attention to us." said Arjuna casually.
Arjuna has always been kind to his workers. Although he was not a master Arjuna never demeaned anyone, he saw all people as equal.
This kind of thinking is what makes Arjuna reluctant among him.
Dhita who initially thought that her husband would be angry when he heard the words of his driver, but grateful in his heart after hearing Arjuna's words because he had gotten a good husband.
After spending two hours on the road, they finally reached the village of Kulon Progo.
Bu Safitri, who was going to the garden at the time, abandoned his intention after Arjuna's car parked in front of his house.
" Assalamualaikum" Arjuna said to his mother-in-law when they got out of the car.
" Walalaikumsalam," bi Safitri answered his son-in-law's greetings.
" Mom!" yelling Dhita while running towards bu Safitri, then they embrace each other.
" Who's coming, ma'am?" ask Setyo from the house.
" Dad!"yelling Dhita broke her embrace and then went to meet the father.
Arjuna shakes hands with Bu Safitri. Then together enter the house that has Dhita and Pak Setyo in it.
" Assalamualaikum sir," said Arjuna as he grabbed Setyo's hand and kissed it.
" Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Mr. Setyo smiling sumringah.
Mr. Setyo and Bu Safitri are happy with the arrival of their son and daughter-in-law.
While the driver lifted the items carried by his two employers and put them in the house.
" How are you doing?" setyo asked Dhita as they sat in the guest room.
" Well yeah." replied Dhita.
" We're planning on staying here for a few days." Arjuna said he intended his arrival
" A few days?" tanya Bu Safitri looked at her daughter and daughter-in-law alternately.
" Yes Ma'am, until Dhita is completely healed" replied Arjuna.
Bu Safitri and Mr. Setyo are happy that his son and daughter-in-law will stay with them even if only a few days, at least they will gather and spend time together.
Hearing that Dhita and her husband returned home, all close relatives came to visit Dhita, knowing they had not had time to visit her when Dhita was still in the city.
" Thank God you're healthy, we're all worried about you" said one of Dhita's cousins, Sukma.
Sukma is the son of Setyo's brother who lives not far from their home.
Sukma was married and had two children, in the past when Dhita still did not go to the city he always helped to take care of the two children of Sukma, because Sukma was busy working.
" Thank you mbak, for your attention" said Dhita who was being embraced by Sukma at the time.
Sukma and Dhita let go of each other's longing.
Seeing their familiarity, Arjuna hopes that Sukma will be able to help Dhita to restore all the flavors she lost.
Seeing his son-in-law silent, Setyo asked.
" Is there something you're thinking about, son?"
" Oh, no sir, I'm just glad to see my wife happy today" replied Arjuna stammering at the sudden question from his father-in-law.
" Don't call dad mas, just call me dad." Dhita teased her husband.
" Ah, yes sorry, father." said Arjuna blushed in embarrassment.
Makes everyone laugh.
Long enough they talked until finally all the relatives say goodbye one by one because there is still work that they have to finish.
" Now you rest, you must be very tired, no" suggested Mr. Setyo.
" I still want to take a walk to see this whole village well" Dhita replied.
" Later in the afternoon, it is too hot now Dhi," said Bu Safitri while glancing at his daughter-in-law who was exhausted.
Yes, Arjuna looked lethargic because last night he could not sleep thinking about his wife's words.
Dhita's words are worried if mommy Rita knows the truth and force her to remarry with another woman like she had done so far.
" Come mas, let's rest" said Dhita disperse her daydream.
" Ah yes," replied the surprised Arjuna.
Mr. Setyo and Mr. Safitri looked at each other's behavior.
" It's like something's bothering him, sir" Safitri said as her son and daughter-in-law entered her room.
" Yes Mom, I think so we ask later, Mom, now let them rest" suggested Mr. Setyo who was immediately nod by Bu Safitri.
During the day in the village the weather was very hot, the sun seemed to roast the earth making everyone in the village leave his activities.
They just sit back on the porch of the house, some are talking and some are talking.
The clock shows at 03.45 WIB, Dhita who has finished praying ashar with her family is preparing to travel around the village.
He felt very homesick with the panorama in the village that seemed beautiful and amazing in the afternoon.
Arjuna prefers to drive a Vespa motorbike owned by Mr. Setyo rather than having to bring his car.
He felt better to walk while riding a motorbike to surround the village.
TREEETTTTEEETTT.....
The sound of Vespa motor belongs to Mr. Setyo, understand that the motor has been old because it has been used for years by Mr. Setyo.
Although it is old and almost a wreck, but Mr. Setyo really loves the bike, understandably the bike is a historic motorcycle for Mr. Setyo and Bu Safitri.
The motor is what accompanies the story of their life journey.
" Well, can you ride a motorcycle like that?" dhita asked a little doubt because all this time she had never seen her husband riding a motorcycle.
Understand in the city of Arjuna everywhere always use the car as a means of transport.
" Don't worry your mas used to also have a motor." replied Arjuna while running the motor.
Dhita hugged her husband tightly in the back, as she was afraid of falling.
Arjuna who has not rode a motorcycle for a long time, feels stiff and a little shrewd.
" Beware, mas" said Dhita who was pounding as Arjuna was getting faster carrying you his motorbike.
But in the end Arjuna managed to ride the bike well.
