It's been almost two months since Sahira's marriage to Zio. But their relationship is still like the beginning of her marriage. They sleep one room but do not carry out their duties as husband and wife.
Sahira still does not believe in Zio, if Zio really loves him. Sahira feels her marriage to Zio is due to redeem her father's debt to her father's father Mahendra's family Zio.
Although Sahira is still cold to Zio, Zio is still attentive and affectionate to Sahira. Later, Sahira begins to love Zio.
***
Every Sunday morning bi Ana goes shopping to the market. So too with this morning.
Returning from the market, usually bi Ana sweeps the house and yard.
After the house and yard are clean, then bi Ana cook.
While Sahira if morning care for the flowers in the yard of his house.
After breakfast, she took care of her favorite flowers. Zio read the newspaper on the front porch.
"Mom...., the cooking is done all," said bi Ana Sahira's maid.
"Auntie don't forget to bring also the dishes that have been cooked aunty," Sahira told bi Ana.
"Already mom. Now I'm sorry to go home ma'am" said bi Ana.
"Yes bi Ana. Be careful on the road ya bi," said Sahira.
This Sunday my mom and dad Zio visited Zio's house.
So that bi Ana cooks more than usual and the menu also increases.
Around eleven in the afternoon, Zio's parents arrived at his house. They greeted his son-in-law Sahira kindly.
"Please enter ma pa" Sahira said, kissing her in-laws' hands. And so is Zio.
"How are you," asked Sisu to Zio and Sahira.
"Alhamdulillah good ma," replied Zio.
"Alhamdulillah we are in good health ma," replied Sahira.
"Thank God that you are all healthy" said Mr. Mahendra.
"Why haven't you guys been to your mom's house for almost three weeks. Mama same papa kangen loh," said mama Zio.
"Sorry ma.., we have not had time because Zio mas is always busy. Every Sunday there is a volleyball match at the complex. This week there is no game. If the usual day of returning home from work is already afternoon, so it is tired," said Sahira explained.
"Oh that's it.., mama thinks Sahira is sick," said mama Zio again.
"Alhamdulillah Sahira has never been sick and fever again ma," said Zio.
"I mean mama..., manor Sahira has started to get pregnant," said mama Zio with a smile.
"Oh. But hopefully in the near future Sahira gets pregnant. Yes, dear." said Zio while embracing Sahira's shoulder from behind.
"If Sahira is not pregnant in a year, you should see a doctor immediately. Mama is afraid like mama anyway, after seven years of marriage just pregnant Zio," said Sisu mom.
"What did your mother Zio say." said Mr. Mahendra.
"Prayer yes ma..., pa..., we are quickly given regularity," said Zio.
"Aamiin.., must be my mother praying," replied mama Zio.
Sahira just smiled at Zio's words.
In front of Zio's parents, Zio always shows his affection with Sahira. Zio did not want his parents to know about the condition of their household.
Because from the beginning of his marriage, Zio was the one who insisted on marrying Sahira even though the consequences would be like this. Zio remained patiently accepting it.
Because this marriage is not because of mutual love, but Zio is sure and believes that someday Sahira will truly love her.
"Try you two consume a lot of foods that can increase fertility, so that Sahira can get pregnant quickly," said Mr. Mahendra.
"That's what Zi said your papa. Mama papa can't wait to hold a grandchild" said Sisu.
Sahira and Zio just smiled.
"For a while," Sahira said as she walked into the kitchen.
Sahira immediately prepared food for her parents-in-law. After the meal was prepared, Sahira immediately invited her two in-laws to have lunch together.
"Bi Ana didn't come Ra?" ask Sisu ma'am.
"Come ma, but if the holiday is ready for work go home. Because Zio mas at home does not work," replied Sahira.
"Oh that.., " said Sisu again.
Both of Zio's parents were very happy because his son-in-law was very kind and friendly.

After the magrib, Zio invited Sahira to visit the wife of the Imam who had just given birth in the hospital. The Imam was their neighbor.
"Ihh his anxiety..," Sahira said when she saw the baby Imam.
"The bread is great sir" asked Zio to the Imam.
"Yes Mr. Zio.., it was at the newborn weighed 3.7 kg" said Mr. Imam.
"You will have a baby" Imam told Zio.
"Call me sir, so Sahira can get pregnant quickly.
"Aamiin" replied the Imam.
After half an hour in the hospital, Zio and Sahira immediately returned home.
When I was going home, it suddenly rained. I got home around ten in the night.
Arriving at home they immediately pray, then sleep.
At midnight, Sahira is startled by Zio's half-screaming voice.
"What's the matter.., "asked Sahira who woke up from her sleep.
"There's a Ra scorpion" said Zio.
"So now where is the scorpion mas," asked Sahira curiously.
"It's just turned it off" Zio replied as he pointed out the dead scorpion.
"But the mas wasn't bitten," asked Sahira worriedly.
"No Ra, but almost bitten" Zio replied.
"Just sleep in bed. This is the new rain. Usually when it rains scorpions the same centipedes come out of hiding," said Sahira
"You are not disturbed if you sleep in bed with you" said Zio.
Lately Sahira has started to show her attention to Zio. Because lately his feelings have started to change. Now he's starting to love Zio. But ashamed to reveal it.
The two began to lay their bodies in place. Then Zio faced Sahira, seeing that Sahira had not fallen asleep.
What is the name of a normal man, sleeping alone with a woman, especially the woman is the person she loves so much, certainly can not control it.
The face of Sahira was deep. As Zio looked at Sahira, Sahira opened her eyes so that their eyes met each other. Then Sahira smiled shyly.
"Why do we look at it that way" asked Sahira.
"Because you are so beautiful" Zio replied as he ventured to kiss Sahira.
Sahira is silent and does not refuse when hugged Zio, so without hesitation Zio finally carries out his obligations as a perfect husband. The two do it out of love, as Sahira is getting more and more in love with Zio.
"I'm sorry, I've put off our first night" Sahira said.
"Sst...., for me it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you do it sincerely, not by force" Zio said, putting his index finger on Sahira's lips.
