“So need no waistline or not?”
“No need.”
Naswa and Aji said compactly. The room that had been serious, was now filled with laughter. The newlyweds were wrong.
Today both Naswa and Aji's parents gathered to discuss the reception issue. Although Naswa's parents had just come home this morning, they were still excited. Especially after seeing his daughter's smile rise, fatigue after a long journey is gone already.
“Again compact. The new bride is like that, yes!” ledek Mama Aji is smiling.
Naswa could only hide his face. Another case Aji who scratched the nape, wrong behavior. Then, the laughter sounded again.
“Lagian Aji thinks like this, Ma, Pa. The edge should usually be a week before the agreement. Lah, this is only a few days.”
Papa Aji smiled. “Say you are not strong if you have to go far with Naswa. Just like that, Ji! Don't prestige.”
Aji sighed resignedly while raising his hand. “Terden, deh. Aji crap, you guys sure know best.”
“Haha! Already, yes there is no waist event, later tonight you can still sleep with Naswa, Le!” Mama Aji chimed in.
The room was back with laughter. “Already, yes! Now we better discuss the reception event again.”
Without impressed patronizing, Naswa's father said the sentence earlier. Everyone is now talking relaxed. Occasionally there is a temptation that is still fixed for Aji and Naswa.
At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Aji's parents say goodbye with happy faces. Without hate speech, Mama Aji greeted her daughter-in-law. The middle-aged woman whispered in Naswa's ear.
“So strong daughter-in-law, Nas. Mama believes you can make Aji.” happy
The words that were loud but full of emphasis made Naswa smile. The fresh wind he breathed. Mama Aji's behavior has shown the green light accepted her as a daughter-in-law. A smile did not escape Naswa's lips. He was happy and touched by the most beautiful gift from God that never stopped coming.

“Last night.” Aji muttered while looking at Naswa who was combing her hair.
Naswa's sense of hearing is able to catch complaints from Aji's lips. The woman turned around and looked at her husband who appeared grim wajha. The final decision of the two families meeting was that there would be no waist, but the day before Aji's agreement had to return to his home.
“Why just one day, right?!” asked Naswa with a smile.
“Ya only one day, 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds. That sucks for me. Even in the office I want to see your face.”
One last sentence sounds soft, but Naswa is still able to hear. The woman approached Aji. Still with a broken mane.
“So including temptation or what?” asked Naswa while raising her next to his eyebrows.
“Not temptation, Nas. It can be said the fact that I without you is a dust grain.”
Naswa pinches Aji's nose. The woman felt both happy and upset at the same time. The behavior of her husband is very dangerous for health, because every compliment was thrown, then the heart of Naswa will be abnormal.
“You without me are something, but you without God are nothing. One day is not a long time,” Naswa said casually.
“Absolutely you don't miss me?”
Aji's question made the woman smile.Naswa wanted to get out of bed without answering the question. However, a check held him.
“Say, Nas! Answer the question earlier.”
“That miss is not spread with a series of characters, but simply saved and delivered through prayer. So, the point is only I know. I miss you or not.”
Aji was tired. “Duh Gusti Allah, why do female beings have many codes with different meanings?!”
Naswa smiled looking at Aji who was now welding. The woman still needs to prove the taste that should be there. Although the sense of comfort is often seen, it does not mean that love has begun to exist. The journey they take is still long and may find a steep road.
***
The morning that should have started with a smile of sincerity has been stained with the grim face of Aji. Secretly last night, the man noticed Naswa's face nonstop. He could not close his eyes for a second.
The taste of his wife's face can be a drug repellent drowsiness.
The sound of a car was heard on the porch of the house. Aji's face grew somber as her head turned to the window. Both of his parents have come, meaning the heart exam is coming soon.
"Mas, breakfast first.”
After turning over, Naswa had been in front of him. Not waiting any longer, the man pulled his short wife into the deck. Deck in a long time and without demands.
“Mas.”
Five minutes passed, Naswa's legs began to ache because he continued to stand. Eventually the woman opened her voice and broke the silence. Aji just muttered indistinctly and was still loyal to his position.
“Mas Aji, I'm sore,” said Naswa made Aji stretch a hug.
“Do not miss. Missing is hard for Dilan. I'm not strong either.”
Aji said as she stepped out. Naswa smelled a smile. Aji's nature makes her feel wanted and needed.
At the dining table, Aji seemed uninspired to eat his food. The man was busy staring at Naswa. That woman had completely shifted her world.
“Don't just daydream, Ji. Pretending to be happy also requires energy. Papa knows, you must be reluctant to stay away from Naswa,” whispered Papa Aji after eating.
The man patted his son's shoulder. As if trying to make a spirit, but instead he can only sigh tired Aji. For a moment the dining room was attacked by silence.
“Let's go home, Ji. All view reception building.”
His mother's invitation made the man rise with a sense of resignation. It felt like there was glue stuck to his feet not to take a step. Especially seeing Naswa's smile.
“If Aji comes home later in the afternoon, can you?!” ask Aji when he arrived at the porch.
“Can, but can't.”
After greeting her in-laws, now Aji is greeting Naswa. The man shook his wife's hand. A little awkward his wife kissed the back of his hand.
“By-good. Take care, Princess. Tomorrow, the Prince will bring a surprise.”
Naswa smiled faintly. Slowly Aji's back moved away. The man's hand made its own shakes inside his chest.
The net is still trying to find when the white sedan car has been lost at the turn of the road. Naswa lowered his head with a smile that he was still trying to maintain. The woman tried to stand firm with her stance.
“Only one day and one night,” murmured while entering the house.
The sun began to show its light along with two humans who were separated. The slightly spirited cloud adds a supportive impression to the sorrowful gazes on both of each other's netra. Without them to say, there is a longing that slowly begins to stir. Increasing every minute, even every breath.
***
[Hi how are you with miss? Has it started to attack your heart?]
Naswa, who refused to open her phone, smiled. Along with her mane that was waved by the baby, the woman began typing character after character. Long, time seemed to slow down after Aji's departure from his home.
[Why did what you asked, happen to me. Right now even to close my eyes, it was hard.]
After the reply from Naswa, Aji smiled. Unable to hold his fingers began to press the video call button. For a moment there was a waiting tone and the next minute there appeared a figure of the woman he missed.
"How are you, Princess? How about a day without the Prince?" asked Aji with a netra that could not be separated from Naswa's face.
"My news is good, Prince. It's just that the Princess felt something strange." Naswa said with a serious face.
"Why? What's so weird?"
"I think there's something missing and something lacking. Without your character, what does this Pineapple mean Mas Jijik?"
Naswa Laughter melodious. Aji smiled wryly ignoring the call that she actually did not like at all. However, because his wife likes, the man can only resign as long as the sweet smile never fades.
"Are you not sleeping?" ask Aji.
"It's not sleepy yet."
Aji glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of her room. Eleven o'clock in the evening, meaning Naswa has passed his sleep schedule. He himself did not understand why his net could not compromise.
"Let's sleep I'll accompany."
The two men began to break down. The video call is still connected. Without a word, they looked at each other.
"It's still not sleepy."
"Guardian health, Nas. Tomorrow must be tired!" Aji.
"I haven't dongratuk—"
"I sing songs. But please close your eyes."
"Listen to me, my heart. Stories aboutyou. I'm willing to be sincere. Sincerely loves you. Close your eyes. Enough me and God know."
Wali Band song makes netra Naswa reluctant to be closed. Aji's melodious voice made the woman moody. Unknowingly began to arise tears that pooled in the net fertilizer.
"I promise to stand with you, born and inward." Naswa sang the song.
"Well, do I sing about not sleeping? My voice is false, Nas?!"
"Who said the voice of Mas Jijik fals? It sounds good, huh."
After that, no conversation took place. The gentle swish began to greet the second heart. Five minutes passed but no conversation filled the silence.
"Nas." Aji said again after the silence struck.
"Sleep. You need a lot of energy for tomorrow. Take care of your health and have a good dream."
"Too."
The video call connection was also cut off. It left Naswa who was still opening his eyes. The woman's mind began to stir.
Aji changed a little drastically. Even Naswa still remembers on campus first, the man did not talk much and seemed cold. There was a slanted rumor about Aji not liking women.
Naswa's memory travels back to the time of Junior High. Aji is the man who became his hiro. Save him from embarrassment.
Lastly, Naswa's heart drifted back to remember Aji who was able to stop Rehan's depraved actions. During the recollection of the incident, a smile continued to be etched on the lips of the woman. He can't say anything anymore.
Naswa inhaled Aji's scent deeply. Comfort begins to fade. Unknowingly the drowsiness began to greet his net.
Slowly the two people who were separated by the distance began to close their eyes. Prepare to pick up the dream with a line of inherent smiles. Still with a warming taste.
***
A black car with no license plate was parked in the yard. Some people in black clothes came out. One of them was a woman whose hair was broken.
"Is this the location, boss?" ask one of those people.
While smoking a cigarette, the man called the boss nodded. Without waiting for long, one of them left. Without suspicious movements.
"Remember, do each task without any mistakes!" tell a hoarse voice that breaks the silence of the night.
His eagle eyes stared pushyly at the woman who was now looking down. "Remember, let there be no mistake."
The girl nodded along with the code of someone who had just entered. With the silence of dawn, they split the streets. Prepare to do the mission when arunika dawns later.

Spoiler for novel buyers:
"Come, Nas. We have to hurry!"
Naswa smiled as she opened the door. In front of him the mother had nagged. Without a word the middle-aged woman clasped her hand.
"You'll have to make up this later. So it must have taken a long time."
Naswa nodded, one night felt so long. However, in the end this morning all the torment was gone. The woman was at least grateful last night that she was still able to fall asleep, even if it was only a few hours.
"Nas, don't daydream."
"Yes, Mom."
Naswa said as he stared at the road that was now starting to pass. It is still seven in the morning, meaning that less than three hours the reception will be held. The woman's cold sweat and heart palpitations increased. He was a little scared to go through this phase.
"Don't be afraid. May today's experience be your first and last experience, Nas."
His mother said with a smile. The car they were riding in was blown off without a hitch. In about fifteen minutes, they had reached the reception hall.
"Let's go straight to the dressing room."
Naswa's mother looked excited. The woman immediately held her daughter's hand towards the side room where she changed clothes. Seen the fairies who have prepared.
"Is this the bride, Mom?!"
"Yes, I'm the bride."
Naswa said with a smile. The woman immediately sat down with the fairies who were preparing to start her work. Naswa's mother looked at her daughter with a happy and haru look.
***
"Why is the clock slowing down, anyway, Pa?!" Aji grumbled as he stared at the clock on the wall.
"That's not because the clock's slowing down, Ji. You're the one who's too shaky."
Mama Aji chimed in words
his son in a relaxed tone.
Aji could only exhale. He continued to chant the word patience which may have been more than a dozen. The man looked back at the clock on the wall which now shows at eight in the morning. Then it is still less than two hours later he met with Naswa.
***
Half an hour before the deal, Naswa was done with her makeup. The woman looks beautiful and elegant. While being photographed by one of the perias. The woman was startled by someone who came calling with a reassuring tone.
"Sir, there is a friend who wants to meet!"
Naswa stood up from his seat. "Where?"
While holding Naswa's hand, the woman who participated as the fairy smiled.
"In the parking lot next door, ma'am."
Naswa unsuspectingly followed the woman. Naswa's parents did not know his daughter had come out of the building. The woman believed in the words of one of the fairies.
When Naswa's feet had stepped on the parking lot, someone had smothered his mouth. The man who smothered Naswa's mouth took the woman to the car. Fifteen minutes, a woman wears a bridal outfit but wears a face cover.
"Have you?!"
He nodded. Along with the black car that is now streaking across the city crowd. Without mistakes, each of them did their job well.
"Have, May?"
The woman who was thrown the question nodded. "Yes already. Ma'am Bride said she wanted to make a surprise for her mas. So I gave you a face cover.
His friend simply nodded unsuspectingly. Smiles on each other's lips. They hope that the boss's plan will work.

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Naswa Farida bint Kusuma Dirja with a dowry of one hundred thousand paid in cash."
"How's witness?"
"Well." Right."
Aji breathed a sigh of relief. His long wait has been sweet. Netra the man was looking for Naswa.
"Pray first, Aji. The customer is being cleaned. Please patience!" mama Aji said while patting her son's shoulder.
Aji nodded and tried to ignore the worry that started to whack. A woman who came out in a wedding dress and a face cover made the man frown. Not because he was not fascinated, but somehow there was a sense of awkwardness.
The customer feels foreign and different to today. Without even asking Aji to extend a hand. When his wife's hand touched the man there was a sense that could not be described.
Not a smooth thump that feels, it is not foreign but Aji tries to remain patient. Finish ring embedding event. The man whispered in his wife's ear.
"Why wear a face mask, Nas?"
The question is a big question mark because it has not been answered for a few minutes. Before signing the marriage book, Aji blocked the hand. Unexpectedly, he pulled the face cover.
The net is berirobok with netra is not foreign. Not waiting for long, Aji's hand opened a cloth covering half his face. The guests were surprised by the event.
"You?!"
Everyone in the building couldn't believe it.
The end!
