Izin

Alvin calms Rina down. Let it rest and replace cooking.

"Mas, sorry." There must be something in Rina. Not being honest, everything to Alvin is the most form of regret.

Alvin feeds Rina with the grilled chicken she cooked. "Why should I apologize?"

The woman initially refused to eat. Alvin continued to press. No matter how difficult the terrain was, the man tried to work a miracle.

Rina. "I didn't tell you about Dani because I don't think Mas is interested in my past. Mas, right, married just because you need a wife."

Alvin pinched Rina's nose slowly, saying, "I don't want to know your past, but unfortunately I already know it first. At first I wanted to be quiet, but Dani moved. Don't you belong to me now?"

Rina flinching.

Alvin lifted Rina's chin. "Having it in the sense that you are already tied to marriage with me. So ... I'm obligated to protect you as a husband."

Their eyes meet. Rina's heartbeats kept racing against anything. 

"Don't dare lie to me anymore because I'm not a liar. You want to know my past, right?" ask Alvin.

Rina nodded slowly.

"I'll tell you, but it doesn't belong to anyone else. Now go to sleep and rest. Otherwise, I might be a beast tonight." Alvin winks right eye seduces Rina.

"Mas Alvin!" peekit Rina's.

Alvin let go of the hand. Laughs loudly. His voice could even fill this room room. Somehow their next marriage. What is clear is that both will continue on this path according to the vision of the mission carried.

***

Two days after the incident Dani was swallowed by the earth. There was no sign of him in front of Rina or Alvin. The man who came with just a bag of clothes was never again seen to Alvin's house.

Alvin is no problem. He defends what is worth defending. Of course with great consideration.

"You got my class this afternoon, right?" alvin asked at breakfast.

Rina smears chocolate jam on fresh bread. "Yes, Mas. Why?" 

"Don't skip. I will not tolerate you, even if you are a wife."

Rina's eyes glared. "Mas, how cruel."

"I'm not cruel, but fair!" Alvin.

"Yes, yeah. Mr. Alvin is super fair across campus. Your student must be coming." Rina relented. Arguing in the morning with Alvin is not a good thing for today's mood. "Oh, yes, Mas."

The bread is ready. Stored first on the plate. Alvin. "I want permission."

Alvin's forehead was pucker. "Izin for what?" Curious too.

Rina hesitated. Mouth shut.

Alvin clucked in annoyance. "Talk. Don't just shut up! How can I give permission if you shut up!"

Also true. Lina finally ventured to open her voice. "I want to take the campus study tour."

"Astagfirullah, sorry." Alvin shocked. Dunking with tissue near. "What did you say?" 

"Mas, don't you hear?" Instead of answering, Rina asked back. "Oh my God, I am still young."

Alvin stared hard. "I asked you carefully! Don't let this morning's breakfast get messy."

Lina was not afraid. But the woman laughed a little. "Sorry, Mas. I want permission to go on a study tour."

"Who's same? To where? Why just?" A row of questions just came out of the mouth of the man who titled the lecturer.

Rina gawking. Blinked his eyes twice. "What did you ask? Is there no Lurah? Mr RT invited?" Piqued. 

"I'm serious." Alvin wasn't playing around.

Rina sighed. "Friends. Boy, mix like a hodgepodge. To the adem area. There's a tipping back, too, can." 

Both of Alvin's eyes are perfectly rounded. His wife answered. "No permission!" 

Rina jerks.

"I don't want to let you know if the goal isn't clear!" Alvin's.

Rina flinching. Though her husband is a lecturer, clearly already know what the purpose of the tour study is for.

"Yes, no sleeping together tonight. Just hug there!' rina protest. Own upset.

"Kok, spread out there?" Alvin obviously didn't accept it.

"Like me. And also his. Though Mas, right, lecturer. You must know about this activity!"

Debate begins.

Alvin understood the young spirit that tempered in his wife. However, the age difference between those who are adrift about six years will give birth to a striking difference. Either in terms of mindset or way of looking at a problem.

Rina stand. "I'm, right, just asking like this once. Not weird. During my marriage, I did my duty as a wife. I also have a limit on associating with the opposite sex, if that's what I'm afraid of." The woman stepped past the table and Alvin of course.

Only six steps walk, unexpectedly Alvin hugged him from behind. Turn on the bomb machine in Ririn's heart until it feels like it's about to explode. It always happens. Crazy indeed! 

"If it were different again. We are a legitimate couple" whispered Alvin.

Rina died a flea. 

"I allow you, but on one condition. Wanna?" alvin asked to negotiate. 

"His terms?" Lina's lips moved curiously. In the mind of a Lina a crazy idea must be being designed Alvin. I don't know like anything now. "If it's weird, I'm taking seven derivatives!"

"Yes, no!"

"Why?" 

"One derivative has not been delivered, how would seven derivatives be?" Alvin laughed a little. Successfully added to Rina's annoyance.
