Zio smiled faintly looking at the wife lying by his side. His hands stretched out, rubbing the forehead of Airish who looked wet from the sweat. Then, he pulled out a blanket to cover the plain bodies of the two of them. His eyes could not be seen the face of Airish who was still blushing because of his actions.
"Thank you, dear," said Zio as his hands tidied up the children's messy Airish hair.
Airish only nodded briefly, then re-engaged in Zio's arms and lowered his face there. She did not expect that everything she had just been through with her husband-was able to make her feel both sick and happy simultaneously. Nevertheless, still Zio's touch on his body greatly made him soar.
The bias of happiness emanated clearly on Zio's face now, he increasingly tightened the embrace on Airish's body. It was not in vain that he waited this long. Let's not wait a week until Airish is really ready to go through their first night, he's even been waiting for Airish since adolescence, right? But, all the time he had spent really paid off today when Airish had already surrendered and surrendered himself only to him.
"You know what, I feel like the luckiest guy right now."
"Why?" airish asked in a pent up voice as he did not want to change his current position - one that smothered his face in the chest of the husband's field. The smell of her husband's body has made its own opium for her.
"Yes, because, besides being able to marry you and have you lawfully, it turns out that I am also the first man who can finally touch you." Zio stroked Airish's head gently. "Again, thanks for taking care of yourself all this time, dear," he continued.
Airish did not answer. He thought of Zio's words. Honestly, she also feels like the luckiest girl in the world because Zio has equipped her despite knowing all her shortcomings and ugliness.
"Zi, if I make a mistake later..How do you react to it?" Airish shuffled and gritted on Zio's face.
"What kind of mistake?"
"Yes, like today, I don't know how to treat you."
The corner of Zio's lips was attracted. "Yes, if the matter of today is only natural you don't know yet, it's the first time. But I don't think of it as a mistake. If you're wrong I'll see first the mistake where, if it's really wrong I'll tell you, if you need to watch your warning, but if you really make a fatal mistake, you'll make a mistake, maybe I'll get you punished." Zio chuckled at the end of his sentence.
"Punishment?" ask Airish in shock.
"Yes, punishment for you."
Airish shuddered, unwilling to imagine what punishment Zio would give him.
"I don't think you can punish me" said Airish.
"I said it was a fatal mistake" Zio said.
"For example?"
"Ehm...what yes, such as you intend to leave me," said Zio as he looked into the eyes of the wife.
"Where is it possible, Zi." Airish holds the side of Zio's face and replies to Zio's eyes, who seems to be stating that the man is really afraid of losing.
"Promise? Whatever happens you won't leave me?"
"I have no reason to, Zi."
Airish realizes that nothing can make him let go of Zio. How foolish he would be if he did that, he was sure that out there would be many who were aiming for his position now, precisely he who was very afraid if Zio left him, moreover, he had already surrendered his entire self to this man before him.
"If at any time something makes you think about leaving my life, think again when your heart and mind are really cold." Zio sighed for a moment.
".... don't make decisions when emotions and anger are controlling you. Delaying decisions is sometimes better and can save you from eternal regret" he continued wisely.
Airish was stunned then ventured into a brief peck on Zio's cheek. Zio was surprised by it but the man was also happy that Airish had started to behave like that to him.
"My husband is very wise. How not more love try.. boro-boro want to leave, let you make a job just feel unwilling." Airish giggled amusedly followed by the sound of Zio's laughter afterwards.
Airish can understand Zio's words. She knew that their home life was just beginning and would still be very long. Is marriage not the longest worship? Hopefully he can be strong to live it and hope Zio's feelings never change to him at any time. Let alone the problems that might come and make him think about leaving Zio.
Yeah, maybe it could happen, considering who her husband is. It is not impossible that there will be many temptations in front of the day to Zio and himself. May the two of them remain strong in living it and dispel all the trials together without the intention of leaving each other.
"So I can't work, here?" chirp Zio responded to Airish's previous review.
Airish laughs. "May, but in the next few days we enjoy time together first yes," replied Airish.
"Hmm, can. Then you'll take our college days off and take a walk."
"I'm sorry, we have to postpone the honeymoon first because I'm in a really busy period at the end of this semester."
"I understand that my wife is a very busy late-level student." Zio kissed Airish's fingers without anyone missing an inch.
"Yes, we're on our honeymoon in spring, yeah." Zio looked at the blushing Airish in front of him.
Airish nodded.
"Now you sleep, you're tired of moving and fighting with me." Zio thinned his lips with a small grin while Airish chuckled at his words.
"Yes," answered Airish obediently and again Zio landed a warm kiss on his wife's lips as a lullaby.

Rahelsa was a little upset to take this decision. Besides not wanting to leave Aarav, he was also lazy if he had to meet Zack. Whatever their relationship ended was not good since at the club' those nights. Indeed, since that time Rahelsa always kept a distance with Zack, he never interacted again with the man who was model campus. But, this event not only hooked himself as a designer, Rahelsa also heard that Zack would participate in a national event held outside the city.
"Rohar...."
"Yes, what's Deana doing?"
"Are you going to reject the event's offer?"
"Come," answered Rahelsa worriedly.
"Is it because of Aarav? Did he limit you?"
"No, Aarav has always supported my abilities and everything I love" said Rahelsa.
"Then? Why do you look confused?"
Rahelsa.
"This is why if we decide to get married at a young age and when our status is still in college." Alice chimed in on the conversation of Rahelsa and Deana. Alice still does not accept if Rahelsa is married to Aarav and rejects Zack who is his cousin. Therefore, Alice's speech sometimes sounded sarcastic to Rahelsa lately.
Rahelsa frowned at Alice's words, did Alice blame her decision to get married? Wasn't that her own right without Alice interfering?
"I've told you that this has nothing to do with my husband or my marriage" Rahelsa said, looking at Alice intently, not liking Alice's attitude. It's been many times and not just this once.
Alice sniffed her shoulders, she had to admit that her friendship with Rahelsa had been a little distant since the event at the Club, Alice had no idea what was going on between Zack and Rahelsa, what Alice knows is that after the incident Rachelsa decided to marry Aarav and that means Zack's love has been rejected by Rahelsa. It makes Alice a little unacceptable because Rahelsa prefers Aarav whose condition at that time was a paralyzed man. Zack must lose to compete with Aarav.
Rahelsa never told Deana and Alice about Zack's words at the club - which seemed to harass him with his offer. However, he did not intend to stay away from Alice even though Alice was mating with Zack, he appreciated her friendship. But, it was Alice herself who kept her distance from Rahelsa.
"God...." Rahelsa turned and saw Aarav who had picked her up. Rahelsa smiled and retreated from the presence of her two friends.
Deana and Alice looked at each other, as they were surprised to see Aarav who was able to walk and pick up Rahelsa today.
Since Aarav recovered, Aarav had never invited Rahelsa to campus again because he was busy studying the business of Papa Nev which he would soon take care of after his recovery.
"Rahel?!" alice exclaimed, making Rahelsa and Aarav's steps stop before reaching their car in the parking lot. Apparently Alice was chasing their steps.
"Why, Alice?" rahelsa asked who turned to look at Alice.
"I want to talk to you for a second, both of us!" alice looked at Rahelsa.
Rahelsa asked Aarav's permission through the eyes and the husband nodded.
Rachela and Alice spoke some distance from Aarav's position, while Deana had no nose.
"Rahel, I'm sorry if my attitude has upset you all this time. I just can't take it you turned down Zack that time."
"Ah, it's still about him apparently," said Rahelsa softly.
"Yes, I think you chose the wrong husband. Turns out your words were right, you could help Aarav recover and that's proven now. Your struggle is not in vain, I understand why you are waiting for him, it turns out you guys really seem harmonious. Once again forgive my sensitive heart for this, I shouldn't" said Alice with a face full of regret. Aarav's recovery was like realising that Aarav and Rahelsa's love was truly sincere until Rahelsa willingly waited for the man to heal as he is today.
"It's okay, I never blame you. I don't accept Zack because other than that I've loved Aarav for a long time.Honestly it's also because Zack said inappropriate words to me at that time."
"really? I don't know that, you didn't tell me and Zack, either" explained Alice.
"It's okay, Alice."
"Sorry, once again forgive me, Rachel."
Rahelsa nodded.
"But can I tell you something?"
"About?"
"About the event. Are you going to refuse to attend the event because of Zack's presence?"
Rahelsa relaxed her shoulders while shaking weakly. "I don't know" he answered.
"If Aarav doesn't forbid you, then follow the event. That's one of your career supports, you're talented, don't waste this opportunity. And about Zack, I hope you can forgive him. Be professional, assume he was never there. Can you?"
Rachels just smiled in response to Alice's words. He did not say then he resigned from before his friend.
