["Darling, is it anu-anu, hasn't it?"] ask Gina from across the street. Whispering, afraid that someone might hear.
["Not yet,"] Mariana replied uninspiredly.
["Therefore, as long as you both go on that honeymoon, what do you do?"] It was Hendra's turn to question. That morning they made a video call. Mariana, Gina and Hendra.
["My certificate doesn't work."]
Mariana laid her body, staring at the ceiling of the room she had been in for a week. A simple guest room located on the lower level, now a Mariana bedroom. Her body feels very tired. These few days, after returning from Bali, he was preoccupied with their wedding customs. Members of the Andreas family who had not been present in Larantuka, they came to the father-in-law's house.
Coincidentally Om Alo makes a small event to welcome his son-in-law. While at home Mariana is not done 'lerong kawit' or the so-called inauguration of marriage. Therefore, Om Alo made the event at his home, as well as inviting distant relatives who did not have time to attend the wedding two weeks ago.
["You must not have seduced the Lord,"] said Hendra, ["you know, Darling, men can't stand being alone with women. The temptation is huge.]
["You heard that, Darling. Prove who Mariana really is. When it's high school you can express your love to Mr. Jhon in front of all the students, the time with your own husband you don't dare to flirt."] Gina started provoking.
The girl laughed when she heard Gina tell her story.
[Conquers Lord Virgin!"] yelled Gina and Hendra together from across the phone.
["Racquered his power!"] Gina's voice sounded loud, cheering her best friend.
["Darling, forgot to ask. Do you have an HP? Your employer gave you hp?"] ask Mariana.
Gina shakes. ["Borrow a friend who works with a neighbor next door. He is Filipino"] he replied.
Mariana and Hendra just nodded. Much they tell. Sharing stories, especially about the state of Gina in Singapore and her work. It turns out that the girl is looking after the old man. Mother to her male employer who helped her when she almost lost hope of survival in Singapore.
His employer also helped pay off debts to the leeches who chased him to Singapore. That is why, it works to the man in exchange for paying his debts. After all, the employer's family members treated him well. He was even allowed to continue his delayed studies. Gina said she would return to her homeland in a year. Despite the disappointment, Mariana and Hendra continued to accept and support their friend's decision.
...***...
The strains of Seroja song so constricted the ears that heard. Mariana wriggled after several calls from her phone disconnected.
"Ai, who else is bothering, this?" Mariana grumbling.
["Hello!"] His voice sounded raucous.
["Miss, are you sleeping?"] ask mom from across.
["Mama!"] call him.
["Yes, with Mama, here."]
["Where's mom?"]
["Mama at Sius' brother's house."]
["Not yet to return home?"] He then woke up sitting together, leaning on the head of the bed.
["Not yet."] Silent.
["Miss!"] call mama again
["Mama and big mama are going to your house and daughter-in-law."]
["Ha? What are you doing?"]
["You want to visit you, to? Look at your house too. Tomorrow, my mother will return to the village. After this, we'll see you again."] Mom's voice sounded soft. There was sadness in his speech.
["What time does Mama come?"]
["Who we are, this. Se ..."] Not yet finished mama spoke, Mariana had already decided on their call unilaterally.
He was in the fog out of the room. "Mr Virgin! Lord Jakaka!" call him from downstairs.
There was no excuse, Mariana ran up the stairs. He broke into the room without knocking on the door, after he reached the front of the husband's room.
"Mr Virgin!" call him, but there is no answer.
Mariana ran the child closer to the bed. "Andreas!" While shaking the body of the man who was asleep.
Andreas squirming. He got up, sat down, after hearing the crow's cry.
"What's wrong?" tanyanya, with eyes closed.
"My mom and her brother are coming here."
"Let them come."
"They're coming soon."
"Ease, tu? Let it go, to?" Andreas lay back down. The sleepiness has not gone away.
"You know, no. My big mama, you know, likes to check out the newlyweds' bedrooms, beds, closets and so on."
Andreas immediately rose from his bed. "Then, how?"
"Allet alone. We can't, to, let them know we split the bed?" Andreas nodded.
"Come on, help me get my stuff up under!" Pulling Andreas' hand to follow him, but the man flinch.
Mariana looked at Andreas. Her husband threw out his hand and stood hugging her body.
"This is your trick, to?" Her eyes looked at Mariana full of search. He still remembers the time he made the decision to sleep apart.
His wife rejected the idea. He insisted not to split the bed. He said that even if they slept in the room, he would sit on the sofa or sleep on the floor with a mat.
Andreas disagrees. He did not let Mariana sleep on the sofa or floor because he still had empathy. How long do you sleep on the couch? No way, would you let that girl sleep on the couch during their wedding? After all, this house had several empty rooms. Rather than leaving the room dusty, Mariana would rather occupy one of them.
Mariana kicked Andreas' leg. "What am I doing with tricks? If you want, I can rape you right now."
Andreas's eyes were round hearing Mariana's words. The girl laughed at the face of her husband.
"Funny look at your face," said Mariana after her laughter subsided, "let's go help me!"
