Pearl was so upset at her husband, how could she leave without saying goodbye? And even her number could not be reached at all, so why would she leave a fancy phone for her?
For the past two weeks, not once has the man tried to give him any news. Making Pearls worries about him every day. Fortunately there was Elvina and mbak Laras who faithfully comforted him to make himself smile. But after that he went back to silence with a blank look. If she was alone, she would cry. Pearl did not understand, why could her heart feel this pain? He should be aware, this is one of the risks that he must accept when agreeing to an arranged marriage made by his two parents-in-law.
But it has been two weeks since Gilang's departure. Is it wrong if she hopes to get news from her husband?? How is he, where is he, what is he doing, all right?? Can't he worry about it every day?? And miss all her pushy behavior. Pearl realized that at this time he felt the loss of Gilang figure.
The pearl had just finished performing evening prayers when her phone rang. Number not known. He thought for a moment to lift it or not?? Then he decided to accept it, time goods are very important.
"Hello" said Pearl
Silent. There is no lawfulness. The pearls stare back at the number on the phone screen. Wonder. The phone is still connected, but no one answers. He did not know that the one who contacted him was Gilang.
"Hello, who is this?" There is still no lawfulness. She was silent, a smile on her lips. Pearls waited, but he still did not hear any sound.
"It turns out you dare to break my ban on little girls!!" a heavy voice began to be heard when Pearl wanted to disconnect her phone.
Pearls were riveted, his chest was rumbling violently. He did not know to be happy or afraid. That voice...
"M-mas Gi-gi-lang" he said.
"Well it's me, didn't I leave a message if there's an unknown number then don't pick it up!! why are you still lifting it...hah...??" asked Gilang with a raised voice.
"Ma-ma-af..m-mas..."
Pearl budged, her hands clenched holding sobs with all her might.
She was happy to hear the voice again, but she was afraid to break her husband's ban. Gilang would definitely be angry, he did not like it if his orders were broken.
"Here you go, I'm tired of listening to your apologies!! How's school? Is everything okay?" ask Gilang.
"Everything is fine, when will Gilang come home?" pearl Say.
Gilang chuckled happily, making the Pearl frown. Is there something wrong with his words? Pearl was conscious, her eyes were round and reflexes she was beating her head slowly.
"Why are you asking that, huh?? have you missed your husband" said Gilang.
Pearl bit her lower lip, she didn't know what to answer??
"Mom.bu.kan i..i..tu...m-mas...a...ku...a....a....kut sen..sen....di.di.ri... in. in. in. ru...ru...ru..mah" Nervous pearls.
He laughed even more, he could imagine how his wife's face was now.
"I don't know when I'll be home!! But remember once again, never dare to receive a phone from an unknown number!!" resolutely Gilang.
"Yes, um.." The pearls were a little disappointed.

PEARL POV
Since the phone call that night, he never called me again. After all, that time was enough to calm me down. Enough to treat my longing. I'm sure he's fine right now, all I need to do right now is pray for him. Prayer is the only link even though we are far apart, which will never break our bond even if we are far apart.
"Non Pearl, how come you ate so little??" mbak Laras reprimanded me when I stopped eating after spending a few mouthfuls.
"I have no appetite" I replied slowly.
"I'm sorry, mbak, I know that mbak Laras has been painstakingly cooking for me. But I really have no appetite" I continued.
Ma'am Laras nodded, he seemed to understand what I was feeling right now. Being away from your husband is not easy.
"Then I go to the room first Ma'am." I left the dining table.
With heavy steps, I climbed every step of the stairs to the room. That's where I'll be able to vanish all my heart.
*clek...
I opened the room door, staring pus into it. Very big but quiet. It was very different from my old room, although small but felt alive because there was always an outpouring of affection from my father.
"Dad, did I get married wrong with the father's master's son? Did I step in wrong for accepting this match?" without feeling I've dropped another tear.
I went inside and went to bed and laid down a body that was tired both physically and mentally.
I'm really tired of this situation, I can't afford to cover up all my feelings lately. I miss my husband, I want him to come home and pour out my heart.
I didn't care if he would laugh at me, and it ended up making me a puppet that could be played with at any time.
I tried to close my eyes, join the dreamland. At first it was so difficult, but as the night got late I was finally able to go to dreamland.

"He looks handsome if he falls asleep like this??" lirih Pearls.
Pearl ventured to wipe the face of her husband who was still peaceful in his sleep. He let his index finger play on Gilang's face. It feels so good.
"If I could do this while you're awake, maybe my heart would feel a lot happier. But unfortunately it was just a dream for me" said Pearl.
Pearls terlena with his activities, he continues to play with the face of the husband. Until her index finger stopped right on Gilang's lips which she thought looked so sexy. Pearl's face flickered, a shadow as Gilang kissed her back swirling in her brain.
"If I do it while she sleeps like this, it's wrong" Pearl bit her lower lip.
She seemed hesitant, but her little heart kept pushing to do so. Pearl bent her body, slowly but surely she began to bring her face closer to Gilang's face.
*cups
B**r Pearl has been attached to b**r her husband for a while. His heart was beating so fast, this was the first time he dared to kiss a man other than his father.
The pearl straightened her body, she immediately got out of bed. Although her husband was still asleep, but the heart pounding Pearl tightened. It was as if he had stolen something.
Pearl took her school uniform, then went inside the bathroom. Hopefully her husband will never know what she did.

Gilang opened his two eyes, he could still clearly feel every treatment and gentle touch from his wife's hand. I don't know what happened to her little girl, until she dared to act like that. Does she miss him as much as she misses him?
Gilang just shook his head, he smiled happily. His hands could not stop touching his lips which had just gotten a warm kiss from a Pearl.
Gilang still could not believe that his wife had started to kiss his lips. The perverted nature that he has was successful in making the naivety of the Pearl slightly polluted.
"Finally, you managed to get me to the throne as well as a sweet girl" he explained later
"At least now you're in my grasp, so I don't have to worry if someone comes to separate us" Gilang smiled, closing his eyes again.
*clek....
The sound of the bathroom door opening, Gilang further closed his eyes. He wanted to know what his wife would do.
"I should cook favorite food mas Gilang only" said Mutiara slowly, again Gilang just smile.
Pearls come out of the room. Gilang opened his eyes, he woke up and jumped up in excitement on the mattress like a child who had just received a special gift from his parents.

As usual, the dining table was quiet. There was only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks clashing against each other on the plate. But this time there are also different, there is a clumsiness between husband and wife. They were silent to each other, no debate happened as it had been.
Gilang was engrossed in devouring his breakfast, he even added several times. Mubazir if it does not run out, does it seem to show a cliche reason?
The pearls themselves? she seemed happy because there was no protest from her husband about the taste of her cooking. That means Gilang's tongue matches the dishes he made.
"When I get home from school, I'll pick up. So do not let you make me wait longer" said Gilang after spending breakfast the morning.
"Good mas" replied the Pearl of the Spirit.
Gilang furrowed his forehead to make Pearl bite his lower lip. She was embarrassed to be too enthusiastic when she heard that her husband was going to pick her up for school later in the day.
"Hurry up and finish your breakfast! Do you want to be late for school?" say Gilang again.
Pearl shook her head, she immediately ate her breakfast. His heart is really happy right now. She did not care about what would happen tomorrow, all she knew was that she had started loving her husband with all her heart.
"Mbak Laras" called Pearl after successfully finishing her breakfast.
"Yes Non" Mbak Laras appeared from the kitchen.
"Bak Laras, please clean the dining table! Sorry I can't help you because you have to go to school immediately" said Pearl.
"Non Mutiara does not need to apologize like that, this has become my duty so without non-apologizing I will definitely settle" said mbak Laras politely.
Pearl smiled, she knew if Laras was back to being formal to her because there was her husband.
"Thank you mba" tweeted Mutiara.
"Let's go now!" bring pearls to her husband.
Gilang glanced at his wife, emanating a happy smile on his lips. He got out of his chair, trying to hide his heartbeat. The sweet smile of the wife seemed intoxicating to her.
