It has been 3 days since Henry and Santika got married in Bali. And after enjoying an unplanned honeymoon, they both packed their belongings and said goodbye to Mr. Made, to return to Jakarta and return to their normal activities. Santika has resigned from a company that has just accepted him to work while in Denpasar. He would follow wherever Henry asked him to stay.
Arriving at the airport "Soetta" Jakarta, Santika breathed a sigh of relief because he arrived safely in Jakarta and actually there was a semblance of worry in his heart. He fell silent and waited for Henry to pick up their suitcase. When Henry came and brought 2 large suitcases, Santika smiled.
" Dear.. let's go, " Henry said to invite Santika to leave the passenger arrival terminal and go to the pool where to stop a taxi or bus damri.
"Hen.... Where are we going?" Santika is confused whether we split up at the airport and go home to each other or will Henry look for a contract considering Santika does not have a close relationship with the Henry family.
"To my house first, tomorrow we go to your house, tomorrow I'll meet your father and talk to him, "Henry replied casually.
"Hen...
"Hey..don't think most of the no-no about my mother. Don't worry, baby !" We'll face each process together! Listen whatever happens hold my hand and we'll get through it all with joy!"
"Are you sure Hen ?"
"Yes.. Come on, the taxi's coming.
Santika enters a taxi that was stopped by Henry and the driver immediately helps Henry put the suitcase into his luggage and leaves Sukarno Hatta Airport to Graha Pejanten.
When he arrived in front of Henry's house, the time had already shown 21:15. The house has been closed tightly and looks residents have fallen asleep because there is no visible activity in the house. Henry opened the side door near his car garage because he had the key. when he managed to enter the house immediately the middle light was turned on and looked from the kitchen mbak yanti just woke up and was surprised to see Henry coming to bring women.
"Eh... den Henry has come home .. has Aden eaten?" Want to eat what den ..and miss...
"Thank you, my wife and I made our own food... Oh yes. this non name is tika, ntar tomorrow only yes acquaintance is already night.. rest mbak yanti !"
"Oh.. welcome miss tika. I make you a warm tea, yes, I take you to den Henry's room !"
"Thank you mbak, "Reply Santika was friendly.
They enter Henry's room and Santika asks permission to clean the body first and Henry tidied up some of the items. He began to think, it turns out this room will be narrow if occupied alone with his wife, but take Santika out of the house and contracted the house, of course the mother does not allow because he is an only child. Her parents did not want to separate the residence with her.
And when Santika was in the bathroom, Mother of Henry knocked on her room which came with her mother Yanti. Henry asked me to put a drink on the table in his room.
"Henry, .. 'call Mother while observing Henry's room and looking for the woman he said was his daughter-in-law.
"Yes mother.
"Can we eat together and get acquainted with your wife?"
"should it be now bun?"
"tomorrow you and your father work, and Mother does not know him yet..what if he is awkward to mother and tomorrow he locked himself in the room?"
"Alright mother, I'm afraid mother and father are tired.. Mommy knows him ko, I used to ask him to meet but maybe you forgot, so I think tomorrow it's breakfast!" Bun...sewhile Santika again in the bathroom, later I take her to the dining room mother... emh ... mother.ntar ask tika do not bother ya...
"So you're afraid Mother is interrogating your wife ?"
"Sir mother..had I changed the shirt for a while, " replied Henry relaxed while leaving the mother who was still standing in front of the room.
"Mother prepare food yes, hen.. hurry up !"
"Yes....

Mother and Father were sitting at the dinner table waiting for the newlywed couple to come home from a sudden wedding. Actually, before going to Bali, Henry had asked his parents for permission to follow his lover in Bali who avoided him and even broke off the relationship. Henry told mother, if he would not go home if not managed to bring Santika even if you need to marry him there, so his parents were not surprised by the step of his only son.
" Mother and Father, I brought my wife here to live with us here, may Mother and father not object, " Henry said as he headed to the dining room to see his parents looking at his daughter-in-law. Santika clasped her husband's fingers as if asking for protection. He was worried about facing his father-in-law who was staring at him.
"Here want tika.. sit next to the mother, " said Mother gently.
Santika breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out that the mother-in-law was not angry because they married suddenly in Bali. In the past when Santika came to this house first invited by Henry, Mother was having a lot of guests because there was a big family event so they were not too close to , chatting.
"Good mother
Santika sat next to Mother and Henry across her. Santika that night only used light green short-sleeved pajamas and knee-length pants. While Dad just looked at his daughter-in-law's face and smiled. He looked at his daughter-in-law's stomach and glanced at his son.
"Acts... do you mind if you're going to have your wedding party because Henry is an only child and I really hope we can have a party to welcome my daughter-in-law and before your stomach bulges and so it doesn't beautiful at party.
"Dad.. what the hell, " cried Henry surprised to hear the opening statement from his father.
"Aren't you for impregnating her into an impromptu marriage?" Go look at Henry.
"Santika was no longer pregnant with her father, and I never touched her as long as she was still my lover.
"Mother.. yesterday he said what...., he almost let go and almost did it... Is it not so that he forced us to approve it?" ask dad again.
"Dad.. I was almost released yesterday and I just touched it after I married her. The problem of my party is up to father and mother only... so please bless us, Dad...
"Good son, you must take responsibility for your actions !" Tika... do you mind my plan to have a party?"
"Emh. I'm up to Dad, Mom and Henry, I'm sure you all plan your best" Santika replied with a smile. Henry was satisfied to hear Tika's sincere-sounding reply.
"alright.the party will be held next month... Henry, you take care of your in-laws first, you'll come see your dad when they're ready.
"Thank you dad.... " Henry replied while enjoying dinner with gusto. They enjoy a family dinner, there is no drama like Santika imagined.

It was late in the afternoon, when Henry's car stopped at the white trellis fence that was Santika's parents' residence. When Henry got out of the car, Santika was still sitting in the passenger seat. He hesitated a little because
his parents.
Open the car door and hold Santika's hand fingers.
“Don't be afraid.I'll talk to Dad.. If scolded, we admit to being wrong, just listen to his anger, we are wrong...
“I'm afraid dad won't forgive me, Hen…. Dad must be mad at me.. Is it not better we just go home?”
“I'm your husband who will be in charge of your father
Finally Santika was willing to get out of Henry's car and go down into his yard. The bell on the door of his house. Though he usually goes straight in and takes a spare key that is under the left pot near the shoe storage rack.
When the door was opened, the look on the face of the middle-aged woman opened it and the woman was shocked to see who was pressing the bell.
“Tika.... tika... you finally go home son !” The woman's tears came down smoothly and immediately hugged her son who disappeared for almost two weeks without news.
“I'm sorry, mother..I'm sorry, “ Santika said while crying in her mother's arms. Henry only saw the two mothers and the child crying and hugging each other until he did not realize that a loud voice was heard.
“Still remember this house, you are !”
The hug was broken due to surprise hearing “Sang Ruler “ home let out his shout.
“Dad….
“Still remember father...didn't you go without saying goodbye and make this house visited by many of your office people who disappeared without news and made us hassles !”… why do you still dare to go home ?”
“I'm sorry , Father !”
“Go... I don't want to see a child like you!”
Santika and her mother cried at the father's emotional response. Henry who was originally silent, finally came to talk because if not then Santika and her mother will continue to cry and do not know when it will end.
“I'm sorry . Dad... I was wrong .. I and Santika want to ask for your blessing, we were married four days ago in Denpasar.
responsible for Santika.
The middle-aged man gasped at Henry's statement. The man who a few days ago reportedly broke up with Sabrina now claims to have married her and asked for her blessing.
Santika's father was silent looking at Santika who was still lowered. Then he looked at the man who dared to admit that he was marrying his daughter.
“Henry... is it true what you said?
“Iya Father. Forgive us, dad..we were married in Denpasar, four days ago and we already have his wedding book, dad!”
“You already know what Santika did in his past?”
“Iya father.. I know and I still love him. I cannot if I have to part with him. He's a little bit annoying sometimes, but I miss him if he's away from me. I can't live without him, because only he understands me, Dad.... I followed her to Denpasar and married her there, Father.pardon me. Please give us your blessing, Father !"
The impression of Tika's father is so cold to Henry and indeed Father has not agreed to a sudden marriage without his permission. It feels like he wants to refuse the wedding of his favorite daughter, but what would he say is his daughter is married and the man wants to take responsibility for his daughter's life.
“Santika used to be a good and smart child, but because there are problems in my work, then Santika became the backbone of this family when he went to college…
“Dad…. Not wrong..I misstep father, “Tjar Santika while running hugging his father.
Father, Mother and Santika they embrace each other and cry with great sadness. Henry smiled to see his wife's family back to make up and his steps were not hampered by blessing. Thanks God.
"Dad blessed your marriage, son... Tika, don't ever run away again, no matter what happens, you are still a father's child. If you are sick, you will also be sick, learn to be an obedient wife and remember you have to turn into a sholeh woman.Fix your prayers!"
"Thank you dad...
"Henry, I hand over my beloved son.I'm sorry if he's wrong..if you end up bored or whatever, please just give it back to me. Don't waste him... "Tika's Father's Servant to Henry.
"Dad..I will be with Tika forever, we will raise our children together, dad just need to bless us. Please dad, please bless us !"
"Alright, I bless you both. Henry.pardon Tika yes.... Please accept him and love him
'Thank you dad for blessing us. I'll take care of him and love him..
