The recitation went well until it was finished at ten p.m. Some of the invited guests have gone home, as well as family members who do not have the intention to stay overnight, leave one by one so that the main room that was originally crowded seemed empty at this time. Ethan rests himself in the room, while Zoya helps Freya, Grrycia and Wulan clear the main room. As well as Naina who helped there, the girl poured a few dirty glasses into the kitchen, unexpectedly if the man who had made her question from the beginning was there, making coffee. He had looked at Naina for a while, but then seemed indifferent and cool with his own world. Play mobile while waiting for the water he cooks to boil.
Naina who was originally going to speak - stale undo his intention to see the man's indifferent behavior. He wanted to thank her even though Rival didn't need her, but at least he wanted to say that. Although in the end he left without reprimanding Rival, returning to the main room to continue his work.
Rival looked at the direction of the girl's departure. "No intention to say thank you?" he asked himself, screeched and then chose to cupper the hot water on a glass filled with coffee grounds once the water had boiled.
**
The time has shown at half-eleven, where the main room already looks neat as before when the recitation has not been held. Some of the remaining family members gathered in the main room, as did Zoya who chose the dudyk there with Naina on her left and Freya on the right.
The parents were chatting non-title, while Grandma Shanty was already sistirhata in her room because the time was late.
Zoya sees her phone as soon as it vibrates, signaling if a message is coming in. The woman's forehead frowned as soon as she read the contents of the message.
...Mr. Boss....
...Baby, get me a drink....
"Who's Zoy?" tanya Freya saw the look on the daughter-in-law's face. Zoya gasped, she smiled.
"This, Bun. Ethan asks to be taken for a drink, Zoya excuse me for a minute, well." he said goodbye to Freya and the people there. Walking towards the kitchen along with Rival who looked good to go home with Rafa. Rayn, Vina and Davika have gone home first.
"Aren't you happy, Mas?" freya asked the man as soon as Rival regretted it.
"No Aunt. I don't like to sleep." Rafa who replied in a prank tone. Rival seemed to have no problem with it, he just smiled at Freya and acted as if justifying what Rafa said.
Naina who was still sitting there as soon as Zoya gasped as Rival reached out. Half unwell, awkward and hesitant he grabbed the man's hand and kissed the back of his hand.
Why does it feel weird?

Zoya brings a glass of water to the room where her husband is. The man was leaning on the head of the bed while playing with a cell phone. Zoya steps up to her after closing the door, handing her husband a glass of water.
"You just go downstairs and drink and call, cape me up and down the stairs." lamented the woman, Ethan grabbed Zoya by the waist. The woman who was in a standing position made Ethan who sat up looking up at his wife.
"If it doesn't have to come down again."
"Not good, the others at the bottom."
"Here, it's clock, Zoy. No papa."
Zoya scratched her lips. He simply rubbed the man's head as Ethan swiped his face into Zoya's stomach. Shortly after, the sound of knocking on the bedroom door made Zoya turn her head, she stepped in to open the door. Zoya's expression seemed illegible when she found Naina at the door with a pale face, making her worried about the girl's condition.
"What's up, Naina?" tanyanya.
"Sir Zoya, tonight I have to go home" she said in a trembling voice, her trembling hands as Zoya held her hand, making the woman wonder.
"What's wrong?" Zoya wants to know the clarity.
"My Aunt's situation in the village is severe, Ma'am, it seems I have to go home first" he said. Ethan, who heard the noise of the two men, then approached the two. He found the wife who looked anxious in her place as soon as the eyes of the two met.
"It really has to be now?" zoya asked, Naina nodded her head.
"Later let me go directly to the train station" said Naina buru - buru.
"No, no!" push Zoya away quickly.
"Well, if Kevin's out there, he's still after you. What if he dares to macem - same macem as you?"
"Cannot. Let's take you with Ethan alone, yeah." continued the woman who spontaneously made Naina and Ethan exchanged looks.
"Sir," Naina wanted to express her objection if Ethan brought her home. Even though he felt anxious about the existence of Kevin out there who, like Zoya said, could be eyeing him. But being escorted home by Ethan is also not the right way out for him.
"You're Naina's anterin, yeah. I trust you more. I'm sure Naina will be safe with you." Zoya told her husband. Ethan was just silent, his eyes on Naina with an unreadable expression. But a few seconds later, the man's head nodded faintly.
Naina goes downstairs as Ethan tells her to wait in the car. He wanted to talk to his wife for a while.
"I know you mind. But Naina is much safer if you are" Zoya said even before the man spoke, sensitive to what her husband would do. Ethan silently looked at his wife before long he seemed to sigh and then grabbed the woman in his arms.
"You can just stay with Mother here. Soon I'll be back" said the man, wiping the back of his wife's head. Zoya nodded.
She escorted Ethan to the porch, waving as the car her husband drove away from the courtyard.
"When do you think Ethan's coming home?" freya asks who made Zoya look at her.
"Say it's probably tomorrow morning, Bun." Freya sighed, then took her daughter-in-law. "Hopefully Aunt Naina's okay - napa and Ethan are coming home soon, yeah."
"Yes, Mother. Hopefully,"
"Jude, you're in. Let's sleep later accompanied by Arasy, yeah." Freya looked at her daughter, the beautiful woman nodded her head swiftly, then raised her thumb while raising an eyebrow. After that he took Zoya in to immediately rest because the time was late.
"Not made?" arasy asked Zoya who had changed her pajamas twice but not enough for her. Verily Zoya's body is fuller than Arasy.
"It's like it's a bit loose, this one is all" said Zoya, feeling that the nightgown seemed a little loose on her body to make her comfortable moving. He had a change of clothes, but he was still in Ethan's car. And the car didn't exist because it was on its way somewhere.
"That's Ethan who bought it. Kegedean, where he poultice, the size of his own body fat." said the woman who ended the grunt, Zoya just laughed, just laugh, then sit next to the woman who is lying on her stomach in bed while playing mobile phone.
"Lagain, how many kilos, anyway, you've been married to Ethan, contains that. Happy inner birth like that." he said again - again make Zoya laugh. Her sister-in-law is amazing.
"What age is she?" tanyanya then, considering if soon he will have a nephew.
"Hmm, it's only been four weeks."
"Still small means well. Look at his stomach dong," he asked without further ado. Zoya frowned in place.
"Udah. No papa. Cepetan come on, there's no Ethan." he persuaded that then changed positions, sat down and faced Zoya.
"Open the button, no papa." he said as Zoya looked doubtful. The woman finally resigned to unbutton her pajamas one by one. But what he did actually made Arasy cluck with a surprised expression even to cover his mouth with both palms. His eyes were emitting the sternest gaze ever.
Zoya rounded her eyes, surprised, but then she just resigned. Arasy has seen it all.
Zoya faintly remembers when Ethan did it. Maybe when he was half conscious, then in the morning so going to take a bath he was strangled in shock to see a lot of hickey in his chest and collarbone.
"No danger, if you are often rich that's when you are pregnant young gini?" tanyanya kepo, now her hands are centered on Zoya's stomach. Swiping her lovingly as if she was rubbing a cute baby in there.
"Mmm, don't know. We haven't consulted a doctor. But Ethan made the conclusion he said that using feelings would not be why - napa."
"Are you usually not feeling?" ask Arasy who laughed again.
"Napsu cake!" zoya replied, laughing too. But moments later his laughter faded, considering that it had been more than an hour since Ethan had spent the trip.
"Oh, yes. That's what Ethan the housekeeper you're looking for, yeah?" ask Arasy again. Remembering the girl who made Ethan intervene to deliver him to his hometown.
"Hmm, he's also my assistant." replied Zoya, back buttoning her pajamas after Arasy was satisfied to see and rubbed her stomach.
"No papa, no, she's deket your husband?" Zoya turned her attention to Arasy, the woman knitted her eyebrows.
"Ethan is cute Zoy, it's not impossible that he fell in love with Ethan." he told his brother-in-law. Zoya smiles. "No, I trust them. I'm sure Naina can't be rich anyway." he said sure. Arasy then just shrugged his shoulders. "Yaudah, deh, sleep yu later if you stay up late tomorrow sleepy." invite the woman, position herself and raise the blanket. Zoya nodded, then also lay down next to the already closed-eye Arasy.

"Naina, your Aunt has suddenly passed out."
One sentence delivered by one of Naina's neighbors in the village made the girl unsettled along the way. One month ago, even her aunt almost recovered from her illness. When now arrived - suddenly her aunt - it was fainting, of course Naina felt anxious and worried. She could not stop thinking about her aunt's condition all the way.
Ethan turned to the girl next to him who had been biting the tip of his fingernails since he was worried. The road that his car passed through had entered a deserted road, with lush trees on the left right.
If they pass by the road during the day. Then it will feel fun because the trees make the atmosphere shady and cool. But now it feels so gripping, plus there are no street lights there. Ethan saw the watch that was coiling the wrist, the time was almost one at midnight.
The road that both passed began to feel unfriendly when too many large rocks that felt very inhibiting the speed of the car. Along with that, Naina's phone that arrived - suddenly ringing makes Ethan a little jump in shock.
The girl looked hurriedly checking the phone and sliding the green icon.
"The signal is ugly." - Grunts, but then he sticks the flat object in the ear.
"Hallo, Auntie."
"Hallo." he said again when the voice on the other end was cut off.
"Naina, where are you, son?" there was the voice of the powerless Aunt at the other end
"Bi, Naina is on her way home" told the woman in a slightly loud voice, worried that the aunt could not hear her voice.
"No need, son. You come back, Auntie's fine. You just go back, Dad."
"If Aunt was nice why did Auntie faint?"
"Auntie just doesn't have an appetite, so limp. Aunty doesn't want to bother, you just go back, Dad. Trust me, Auntie is good."
Naina fell silent as the Aunt assured. He finally nodded with relief because the aunt was fine. "Auntie says we don't have to go there, sir. It's fine." Beeinform Naina as soon as her call and aunt's end. Ethan cringes. "So we turn around?" Ethan can't believe it. The distance they traveled was very far. But suddenly the car that Ethan drove stopped under the cold that arrived suddenly teased.
The man looked astonished. "What's up, sir?" naina asks as Ethan gets out of the car and checks the car.
"The tires are leaking." said the man. Naina comes down, sees Ethan's leaking tire, apparently because of a sharp rock. Two at a time, Naina shook her head, amazed. He and Ethan are really being hit.
"I don't have spare tires."
"How will you do, sir?"
Ethan shut up, he thought. Checking the phone but the signal is very difficult to get. The cold was piercing, drizzling slowly down and making Naina more worried. The weather and the perfect circumstances of the definition of bad luck.
"There's no lodging around here?" ask Ethan. Because it is very unlikely if both survive in the car until the morning.
Naina circulated the view. His eyes caught the bright light from the street lights right in front of an inn he was very familiar with. "She, Sir but–"
"Where next? The rain will be more heavy." said Ethan who made the girl point the direction of the inn. Ethan nodded and immediately walked there, Naina resignedly followed. The rain started to rain and wet the clothes that both of them were wearing. It even makes hair blister.
Ethan sees a sign that says 24-hour Lodging is big - big in the inn yard. He saw the conditions inside where one of the rooms seemed to be only illuminated by dim light. He looked at Naina beside him. Honestly Ethan is not sure to spend the night there, but at this time he has no other choice. Repairing his car is also very unlikely, Ethan remembers he passed a workshop, but the workshop was closed because the time was very late, plus the weather is currently raining.
"Sir Ethan, this is no ordinary inn." tell Naina as she and Ethan walk towards the counter to retrieve the key. Unlike the inn in general, it did not have a reception desk.
There is only one place on the front that looks more like a ticket collection place on the playground. "Excuse me Mom," Naina knocked on the glass door where a middle-aged woman was seen behind it with sleepy eyes.
"Oh, would you like to book a room, Dad?" askinya to the point.
Ethan nodded, Naina just fell silent next to the man.
"Hmm," the mother looked at Ethan and Naina.
"How many rooms do you want?" tanyakanya.
"Two." replied Ethan without consideration.
"But there's only one room." he said, which made Ethan and Naina exchange views. Naina gestured for Ethan to reject her, Ethan was silent for a moment. One room? Does that mean he should share a room with Naina?
Ethan's reverie is disperse by the arrival of a couple who embrace each other, their condition is the same as Naina and Ethan. Slightly wet clothes and limp hair.
"So taken or not, sir?" ask the mother as soon as she sees a new couple coming. It was as if telling him that the key would be handed to them if he thought too much.
"So ma'am." said Ethan quickly. He doesn't want to sleep outside or anywhere else. He just wants a comfortable place.
Naina only rubs her forehead when the key is in Ethan's hands and the two walk to room number 11 as shown on the key, but before Ethan had stopped his steps when he heard the innkeeper chat behind him with the couple who had just arrived.
"One room left? Want to be taken or not?"
Ethan frowned at Naina. Now he understood what the girl had said if this inn was no ordinary inn.
TB
Stuck + Rain + sleep in one room \= Zoya, how are you? Your husband in danger😂
