Tomorrow comes..
El blinked his eyes when he woke up from his sleep. He got up from the bed and stretched his stiff muscles. The window is open for a breath of fresh air in the morning. A bird he rarely heard in the city.
"For a long time, Grandpa's house was indeed the best" muttered El. He turned his back, staring at his empty bed.
The young man had expected it, surely Asya had already done a lot this morning. El took a towel and went to take a shower. After that, he went down to the dining table that was already crowded with many people.
"Where is your wife El? Is he still sleeping?" Ask a cousin El.
"Just mummy, he's still very young and unstable" said another cousin. They are still trying to find Asya's fault.
El did not understand his cousin's words, he sat down at the table eating while playing his phone. Waiting for Asya who is still invisible everywhere.
The laughter of the children began to be heard entering the dining room. They were so cheerfully laughing with Asya and their great-grandmother. All eyes were now staring at them, especially at Asya.
"See, look at your husband, he seems angry" Grandma said as she moved her chin.
Asya turned and walked over to El. The girl kissed El's cheek while saying good morning. He then went to the kitchen to prepare coffee for his husband.
"Ehem, very sweet Mother's child with his wife" Mother seduced El.
"Why did Grandma take my wife away? Doesn't he just have to take care of me? Keep Asya away from the children" said El and went to his wife. He pulled Asya into the room, asking his wife to pack all their belongings.
Asya certainly did not want to do it, he still wanted to be at Grandpa Grandma's house even longer.
"Mas El, I don't want to go" said Asya.
El doesn't care, he packs all their clothes himself. Asya had tried to stop El, but the young man did not care about Asya at all.
After packing all his clothes, El pulled Asya out of the room. But Asya refused, and instead snapped at El. This was the first time Asya dared to reject her husband's wishes.
"You, dare to reject me ?" Sentak El while holding Asya's arm.
"Enough El, just give me back to my parents. I followed all of Mas's requests, but what? Mas El forgets me and even drinks with other women"
"Did Grandma wash your brain? You've only been with him for a while and you've been fighting me. We gotta get out of here"
"Mas El liar. It was Mas El who hurt me, not anyone else"
Asya sat on the bed, she was tired of everything. But all that El said was true, Asya dared to resist because of the Grandmother's encouragement.
The girl was still unstable, she deeply trusted everything the older people said, including Grandma. Grandma warned Asya, so as not to be too obedient to El, because Grandma knew very well the bad nature of her grandson.
Maybe at first Grandma did not like Asya, not without reason, because all the wives of her grandchildren could not do household chores when they were newly married. Especially because it comes from a rich family, it is used to ruling.
El looked at his wife, Asya looked annoyed and kept staring at the floor.
"See, I'm sorry"
"Not anymore. Grandma was right, I should have been angry and not forgiven Mas El. Grandma said she'd help Papa pay off all of his debt to Mas El's family"
"What debt?"
El once again grabbed the arm of Asya who was about to leave. He did not understand the debt Asya was talking about. Because in fact it was only Dirga's reason for Asya to bond with El. So that his daughter doesn't mess around.
The young man looked into his wife's eyes, not knowing what Grandma said so Asya could have this much courage to fight him.
Flashback....
Asya, who had woken up from her sleep, walked towards the kitchen. He was used to preparing everything in the morning.
On the way, he met his parents who also woke up from sleep.
"Unfortunately Imo is awake, where are you going?" Asya asked enthusiastically.
The three little bangs sat on the sofa and laid their small bodies there. They were still very sleepy, but Grandma El had already woken them up.
Before long, Rendi also came out of the room while rubbing her eyes. He also walked staggeringly, followed by two cousins who were also still sleepy.
"Wife El, have you woken up this early?" Granny El's Chirps.
"Yes Nek, why were they awakened? They're still very sleepy"
"They should get used to getting up early, help me bathe my great-grandchildren"
Asya accepted the request, she immediately led her three little steps into the bathroom. Cold, the water is very cold coupled with the air in the countryside.
After bathing the children, Asya put clothes on and dress them to look beautiful and also handsome.
Grandma El invites Asya as well as her great-grandchildren to walk around the village in the morning. Greet every resident who has started working in his tea garden. He showed Asya how vast the gardens owned by the Winarso family were. Asya was impressed, very.
"She, why would Dirga marry you to El? I'm sure if Adhitama and Laura praise you, you can get a better man than El"
"Mas El is good for Nek"
"I've lived more than sixty years son. I can see if El doesn't love you, you must cry a lot for it"
Asya fell silent, she could not deny Grandma El's words. But he also didn't want to say anything about his family's problems.
Grandma El kept urging Asya to say what she knew. With the promise of helping Asya as much as possible. Slowly, Asya began to melt with the promise that Grandma El made. He also told everything he heard from his father, about the debt that could not be paid by the family Asya.
"I'll ask Grandpa El to pay it off. Asya, if El forces his will again, you can refuse"
"But Grandma, Mas El my husband. Papa says the wife must always obey her husband"
"That's right baby, but you're not a doll. You can resist if you feel that treatment is unfair to you. Asya, the marriage, the happiness of two people, not one of the parties"
The girl was again struck by a dilemma, Airin had already advised Asya to take El's heart. But what Grandma El said was also true, if Asya continued to relent, she would continue to be hurt.
Mama must be hardship, marriage is so dizzying, inner Asya.
Asya tried to consider Grandma El's advice. Although his heart still hesitates, because El has made him fall in love.
