Sumi opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling of the room which was quite spacious with a dim state. His gaze circulated, staring at every corner, including the thick curtains that still stretched over the glass, even though the clock had shown at 07:00 in the morning.
She's looking. Finding Valter who was still sleeping beside him, hugging a bolster pillow, which became a barrier between the two.
"This is the first time in a lifetime. I slept with a man, .. who is now my husband." Sumi muttered with a feeling of disbelief.
How he sees the way money works. Everything even happened very quickly and easily, until they could get married despite the simple circumstances. There was no one present, only a few people who were deliberately called to be witnesses by Bu Nur and his family.
"Am I sinning? For having received and married the husband of my own brother." Sumi muttered, with a look that returned straight towards the ceiling of the room.
While the man beside her started to draw awareness. As the figure beside him continued to twitch, and spoke slowly to himself.
"Ah I'm a sin!" Said Sumi again.
"Ka Susi forgive me. I didn't mean it that way, I was just shocked and couldn't resist. Especially with all the sacrifices he made, believe me if we go back, .. Valter did it just for Ayumi to feel how to have a full biological family." The woman continued to fumble, as if she was letting out her troubled heart.
She does look happy, but on the other hand Sumi looks very frightened, and feels a little guilty. What they do is of course no problem for anyone.
"I …"
"I told you. Susi and I have been divorced for a long time, I accompanied her on medication just because she was your sister! How many times do I have to explain this so that you don't continue to feel guilty and afraid like this?" The typical raucous sound of waking up was heard, until it made Sumi flinch in shock.
"You up!?" Sumi immediately shifted, and changed her lying position to sit, with a face that looked pale.
Valter's forehead shriveled, he felt astonished. Especially with the facial expression that the woman showed.
"What's wrong with you!?" Valter's great-grandson who felt very astonished.
"You surprised me!" Sumi said as she held onto her chest.
"Shocked?" The man repeated his words.
Sumi nodded, her breathing sounding breathless.
"Y-yes. You're talking all of a sudden, and it scares me you know? 20 Years I slept alone, and now suddenly there's someone else, .. and certainly in a different place." Sumi said, she reasoned.
"I should have slept at home last night. You if you want to be in a hotel that's up to you, it's like this, I feel a little awkward with you." Sumi is back.
Valter did not reply, he just continued to stare at Sumi with a facial expression that could not be described by words.
"Butter said? I haven't asked you to do anything since last night. I let you sleep in peace." Syndicate Valter. "Even when I deserve everything." Say again.
Sumi was silent, she was at a loss for words. What Valter said was true, the man didn't even bother him at all.
Valter lowered his legs, grabbed the slippers provided by the hotel, then went into the bathroom without much talking.

"What's this?" Sumi touched several Tote bags that were deliberately placed on the bed.
A few minutes he went to take a shower, and he found the stuff after returning.
Valter took a quick glance, then returned to the screen, checking some of his work.
"Just open it." Valter.
"Is this for me?" Sumi asked a little doubtfully.
"of course. Who else is it for!"
"So, ..what is it?" Sumi asked again as if she wanted to convince him first before opening it.
Valter sighed. Then press the power button on his phone and place it on the sofa where he just sits.
"clothing. And shoes!" He got up, then approached Sumi, who had just finished bathing but was fully dressed.
"Why buy clothes? I brought a shirt, you don't remember?"
Valter shook his head. He grabbed one Tote bag, and opened it until the thing inside there could be seen very clearly.
"Take it." Valter smiled at Sumi.
The woman nodded, reached into the bag of groceries, then took it out and unfurled it.
One long dress with floral motifs, has long arms and a little cleavage in the chest area there.
"Do I have to wear it?" Sumi asked with a bit of hesitation.
He felt he would not deserve to wear such clothes. Besides looking elegant, it was also slightly open at the top, and it made Sumi feel a little embarrassed and inappropriate.
"of course. Now dress as you should. You're only 39 to 40! But the look of your sadness, and the wrong way of dressing, makes you look …"
"Two!?" Sumi cut off the speech of the man standing right beside her.
Valter shook his head. But that made Sumi smile.
"I am old. My daughter's even pregnant, which means I'll be a grandmother soon, so what's the problem?" Tukas Sumi laughed loudly.
"The clothes are very nice, the models are cool, look elegant and sexy, ... maybe!" The woman laughed again. "But I don't deserve to wear this, believe me you'll be disappointed if I wear it because it won't meet your expectations." The rest are sounding more and more.
The two stared at each other. Especially Valter who continues to dive into the bead of a woman who has switched status to be his wife.
Yes, wife. The woman he was supposed to marry long ago, but due to his stupidity he left Sumi just like that, just because of a threat from someone he constantly received.
"Deplace her clothes. We need to get going to take care of your passport right now. I lost a ticket yesterday just to get back to the woman I love." Valter explained with a flimsy smile that he showed.
Sumi silent. His retina moved, staring at Valter who kept looking at him, which just made something inside there feel even more pounding.
"But …"
"wear. You're beautiful, but I want to make my wife even more beautiful. Make things easy, I want to make up for whatever I've missed."
Valter's hand moved, then grabbed Sumi's hand, and crept it tight enough, as if telling her everything would be fine.
"I know you're not used to it. I also know you are still very surprised, and I understand that. So I'm not going to force anything you don't want to do yet, let it all go as natural as possible. But one! Don't ever refuse if I want to make her look better than before? It would be as happy as Ayumi if she saw your situation getting better, especially in terms of appearance." Obviously Valter.
The man looked very begging.
"alright. I'll try it first!" Sumi said, she brought the dress into the bathroom of the hotel that she had been in for one night.
Valter smelled a smile. His heart is really happy now Sumi began to really accept himself, even without a hard rejection that the woman always did.
Not long after that Sumi came back out from inside there. Wearing a dress that Valter bought for his wife.
Valter looked stunned. Just the clothes he had repaired, then what if he had also polished his wife's entire body.
"I think ... this …"
"Schon (Beautiful.)" Sergey Valter, he doesn't allow Sumi to say bad things to herself.
"Hmmmm?"
Suddenly Sumi was nervous.
"The size is fitting? I chose Medium size because your body is small."
"As you can see."
They were silent for a while. Before Valter asked again.
"Are you ready?"
"Mmmm, .. already! Let's go to the immigration office now."
"No!" Firm Valter. "Before that I'll take you to the salon first."
"Not to."
"I don't want to be rejected. It's enough that you refuse me continuously, this time let me do anything for you."
First Valter moved closer to his mobile phone and wallet located on the table, returned and grabbed Sumi's hand, until they came out with a state of hands that grasped each other.
***
Valter stopped his car right at one of the beauty spots. He immediately came out, while Sumi was stunned to see where the elites had come to indulge.
Dreuk!!
The man opened the door for her.
"I search. And I found this with the best rate, ...5 star!" Valter.
"No, I don't want to come to this place! This isn't my place, if you want, .. You can take me to a regular salon." Decline Sumi.
"Come on, we've walked quite a distance from the hotel here." Valter begged again.
Sumi shook her head. He was about to grab the doorknob of the car for him to close again, but of course Valter did not allow it, he held it down until Sumi could do nothing.
"Valter please. If you're ashamed to take me with you now, I won't go anywhere, I'll just stay home." The woman looked begging.
Valter didn't hear. He opened the seatbelt, grabbed Sumi's wrist, then pulled her out of the car.
"You always misunderstand. I mean it's not that I'm looking down on you right now, I like you no matter how you are, it's just that if you can look more beautiful, why not?" The man sounded a little grumbling.
Valter continued walking until the two were actually entered into Beauty Studio.
"Please, .. make my wife beautiful!" Valter asked some of the expert staff on guard.
"The valter!" Chick Sumi.
"Ah she's very stubborn. So just force her, please, give her the best face and hair care." Valter speaks Indonesian with his accent.
"Good Sir. Please fill out the form with complete data." A beautiful and neat looking woman explained.
Valter nodded, then grabbed the ballpoint pen and the paper they gave him. While Sumi had been brought inward to immediately conduct an examination.
***
It's been almost an hour Valter's waiting. Several times he checked every time there was an open door, but Sumi did not seem to have completed her activities inside.
Valter grabbed the bottled mineral water, after finishing one glass of black coffee and fries in the cafeteria that had been provided there. Even some of the husbands seem to be waiting just like Valter is today.
After that one of the doors sounded in the open again. And Sumi appeared with a situation that was so pangling. The hair that is always in Cepol is now allowed to decompose, styled in such a way that it looks a little volume, and it makes Sumi really look different.
And do not forget with a face that looks fresher, with a thin makeup polish. The woman walked up to her husband who was busy staring at the phone screen, checking the price of airline tickets in one of the applications.
"The valter? I'm done, let's pay!" Sumi patted her husband's shoulder.
Valter immediately turned his head, looked up, and how surprised he was when he found Sumi with a very different look.
"God! Quickly pay the total cost, they've turned me this pretty, so hurry up and don't embarrass me." Sumi pushed the man's shoulder.
"What'sthis? Is there no word of thanks to me?" Valter stood up immediately.
"Thank You. All right, just pay for us to finish every business immediately."
Sumi grabbed a bottle of mineral water that she believed belonged to Valter, opened the lid, then drank the water without much thought.
He sat leaning against the sofa behind him, staring straight ahead, where a large glass was. The woman pecked, Sumi again stunned with herself.
"Yes, it's true. Money can change everything, including how someone looks." Sumi muttered with a little haru feeling.
It feels sad to want to cry. Because he didn't expect his life to be completely turned upside down.
I was very happy with Valter Albert Baldomero. The reeds were as devastating as all the facts that Sumi had to accept. Then this time, his life turned one hundred and eighty degrees, suddenly he could do everything with Valter's help.
"Now I truly believe that the storm will actually take effect. The sky will not be cloudy forever, but there are times when sunlight appears, along with the rainbow that stretches along." Sumi muttered again.
"Okay thank you."
Valter said when he received his card back, he turned around, put the card into his wallet, then walked up to Sumi who looked dreamy.
"Related? You okay?"
"Huh!?"
"You okay? Why dream like that? You miss Ayumi?"
Sumi shook her head, she got up.
"Well let's go, I'm hungry not yet for breakfast this morning. You are so fucking strong! I just finished taking a shower, and then took me somewhere else before feeding me first."
Valter chuckled at hearing that.
Her footsteps followed Sumi from behind, as she walked closer to where Valter's rental car was parked.
"What do we eat?"
"Either, .. I can eat anything, but you. Aren't you able to adjust to the food here? So whatever it is, first find your food, then I'll follow it." Answer Sumi.
"McDonald's?" Valter.
"Would you like to eat that?"
"Yes, looks like I'm going to order a burger. Is there a problem if I take you there?" The man asked.
Sumi smiled, then shook her head.
"I can eat anything. Let alone the food, only the cassava to burn I eat."
They stopped right by the door, and the two got into the car immediately.
