As usual El sat and waited for his wife who was walking around. He returned to his cell phone, discussing work with Zio there.
After waiting long enough for the wife who never finished shopping, El began to worry about his wallet. He went to the locker room guarded by three officers there. Apparently Asya was trying on some clothes.
"Aren't you pretty?"
"Beautiful, ah, long time you bought it"
"Emm,,,,,"
El pinched his wife's cheek, whispering to Asya in search of clothes that could accentuate her two breasts. Asya just shamed shame because of the silly words of the husband.
Asya pushed El away and re-locked the room to change clothes. He had already chosen a lot of clothes that were in the hands of the shop employees. El tried to seduce his wife and said she had spent the money that day.
"Mas El seriously?"
"Two rius dear"
His eyes widened in disbelief, Asya began to sort out his clothes again, and chose the clothes he liked the most. El laughed in satisfaction, stopping his joke while hugging his wife's waist.
"No, baby, kidding"
"Mas, the joke is not funny. Let's just say, tomorrow I want to shop again, I'm really spending Mas El's money"
El paid for all his wife's groceries and took her in the car. Because Asya was busy talking to her old friend, Asya's senior at school.
There was a sense of tightness in El's chest, he did not like when his wife talked to other men, even though they were just old friends. El continued to stare at Rio with a sharp gaze, he hoped that the young man would feel uneasy then stop his nostalgia with Asya.
"Darling, it's still a long time?" Sela El couldn't wait.
Asya and Rio turned their heads, then the girl chuckled little. She stopped her conversation with Rio and went over to her husband. El got into the car after his wife got in first.
In silence, El drove his car home. Asya continued to look at her husband who was angry with her.
"Mas El's angry?"
"Hm..."
When they got home, El tied a handkerchief to close his wife's eyes. Asya can only follow her husband's will in silence, because she feels bad for making El angry.
Slowly El led his wife into the house.
"Mas El, what the hell do you want? Don't be mad dong"
"Say first"
"I love you Mas, I love Mas El"
El laughed at his wife who was so obedient. He had not yet opened the blindfold, and instead asked his wife to kiss him before opening her eyes. Asya did so, he cupped El's cheeks and kissed her lips briefly.
After that, Asya opened her eyes slowly. He was so surprised to find his house full of birthday decorations. And more surprisingly, all of Asya's friends were there, including Nando and his friends.
"Happy birthday Assyaaa" they cheered together.
Asya looked at her husband, thinking El would not remember his birthday. But apparently all El's good attitude is to pamper himself on Asya's 21st birthday.
"I love you too dear" said El as she briefly kissed Asya's forehead. Of course the girl returned with a hug.
Jihan and Gita cheered at her friend who was blushing shyly.
After blowing out the candles and giving the first piece of cake to El. Asya's husband goes into the room with Zio, letting Asya enjoy her time with her friends.
"Zio, Papa and Grandpa have a ridiculous agreement. They exchanged Asya for treasure"
El looked at Zio sharply, he did not want the sentence to be heard back by Asya or anyone else. El hated it. He did not know what to do, because on the day of his wife's birthday, Asya even had to know the harsh reality.
"El, I invited Brother-in-law's family"
"What?"
Soon after hearing Zio's words, El came back downstairs. Sure enough, Asya was standing face to face and looking at her Papa.
Seen the look of that sad face again, El sure Asya will not be able to hold back her crying.
"Thank you Pa, at least Papa's choice to marry me to Mas El may not be a mistake"
"What do you mean?"
"I hate Papa, I hate Papa so much"
"ORIGIN"
Dirga's hand was raised, he was ready to slap Asya in front of his daughter's friends. But now that El's on time, he won't let Dirga hurt his wife again.
"Quite Pa, she's my wife. We already know everything, Grandpa told you"
"El, you're spoiling her too much"
"It was my duty as her husband. If Papa wants to magnify this problem, Papa better just go"
Dirga felt very insulted by the words of his son and daughter-in-law. He can't accept all that. Soon he pulled Airin to leave, also asking Syam and Galen not to attend Asya's birthday.
Airin looked at her daughter sadly, again she could do nothing. But his heart calmed down a little, seeing El who defended and dared to oppose Dirga in order to protect Asya.
Jihan and Gita hug Asya who is trying to hold back her tears. In the end, the tears flowed.
"I'm sorry, Mas El got into a fight with Papa"
"Why apologize? I'm your husband, I have to take care of you. Don't cry, it's a happy party, isn't it?"
Asya wiped away her tears, she once again hugged El very tightly. It's no secret, Asya's friends already know how the nature of Papa Asya. And they could also only look on without daring to defend the girl. But now, there was someone who dared to oppose Dirga in public, Asya's husband.
Jihan and Gita also feel very happy, because they know her best friend has a companion who loves Asya very much. They were sure Asya's life would be better after this. Because El looks so in love with Asya.
Nando just smiled wryly at the scene. While all the women were praising how admirable El was, Nando was already aware of the man's vices. He still thought, there is hope to snatch Asya from a lying young man like El.
As El and Zio re-enter, Nando looks for an opportunity to get close to Asya.
"Yes, how long are you going to close your eyes? Obviously your husband's no good"
"He's very nice Nando"
"Lying, you don't want to accept the truth, do you? You know very well he likes to play behind your back with other women"
"He's changed"
Nando was furious, he clasped Asya's hand violently. Staring intently at the girl's eyes with anger. Asya also turned to look at Nando. But the gaze of Asya's eyes, made Nando's heart melt. He can't be angry at the girl he loves so much.
"Please don't let that son of a bitch hurt you"
"Why Nando? Why are you interfering in my household affairs? Because you like me? Forget it, forget that feeling"
"Ap.what are you saying?"
