Raya has returned to her residence and not staying at her parents' house anymore, because somehow she misses the house, rather she misses her husband.
Home renovations are still ongoing, but Raya does not mind it because after Nev comes home later, they decide to stay at the Nev family resort.
Actually Nev wanted to take Raya on vacation again after being tired of work, but the condition of the young pregnant Kingdom is not possible.
Grandma still often asked about the news of her daughter-in-law's granddaughter by phone. The relationship between the two gets closer and ends with a conversation about Nev's favorite recipes and foods.
So does the relationship with Niken. The former neighbor still communicates well like a friend, although in the end Raya knows that Niken is Grandma Nev's man to keep and give him a job last time.
Raya and Niken still often do vent sessions through cellular connections, considering that currently Niken takes care of cafe branches that are outside the city, far from where Raya and Nev live.
On the eve of Nev's return, Raya took the time to bake cookies again, which seems to be her new hobby lately. Nev will be home tomorrow and Raya can't wait to welcome her husband home.
Finished with her pastry, Raya decided to take an afternoon shower and refresh herself.
Currently Raya occupies a guest room on the lower floor because her usual room has not been completed in the renovation.
Soaking in warm water filled with soapy foam and aromatherapy.
The atmosphere slightly relaxed his mind. Little Kingdom is still thinking about the woman she accidentally met the other day, Luisa.
Raya hasn't asked about Luisa to Nev, she'll ask him when Nev gets home. How close Nev is to that woman named Luisa.
Finished with the bath business, Raya wore a light and comfortable home clothes with the name tenar negligee, favorite clothes of women.
Raya opened the parenting book that she had bought yesterday and started reading the things she wanted to know.
Slowly he began to feel sleepy and fell asleep.
...🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸...
Nev exited the Airport area at around 16:00 WIB. He deliberately told Raya that his return was tomorrow, but now he had arrived in their city of residence. He wanted to surprise his wife.
About forty-five minutes later, Nev reached his residence. Nev knows Raya is home and living in a guest room right now.
Nev entered the room slowly. He was like a thief in his own home. He wanted Raya not to know of his return today and Raya would be surprised to find him in the room.
But unfortunately, when Nev entered the room actually saw the wife who fell asleep soundly on the bed.
Nev could not bear to wake Raya, he just smiled a little look at the slumbering face of his wife.
Nev decided to take a shower and clean himself up. Until Nev is done with his bath, there is no sign yet that Raya will wake up.
Nev put on his shirt and joined Raya on the bed. He hugged Raya's body from behind and inhaled the scent of the woman's body that he so longed for, without realizing Nev fell asleep in the same position.
In a state of sleep, Raya felt the warm embrace of her husband. His subconscious tells him he is dreaming and he is enjoying the moment because he really misses Nev.
But suddenly Raya's eyes opened instantly, feeling Nev's embrace real, because she heard the subtle snoring that was typical of her husband.
He was shocked for a moment, when he felt the warmth of the breath behind his neck.
"Nr ..." Raya was amazed to find her husband who was sleeping soundly while hugging her. This was real and not a dream like the one in his subconscious earlier.
Nev slowly blinked when he heard his name called by Raya.
Realizing that the Kingdom had awakened, Nev closed his eyes again and whispered softly in his wife's ear. "Really miss you, dear .." she said increasingly tightened the embrace on the waist of the Kingdom.
"Why didn't you say you were going home sooner?" tanya Raya quietly. He enjoys the warm breath of Nev hitting the skin of his neck.
"Surprise.." chirped Nev lightly.
Raya smiled slightly and turned her position to look at Nev. Her husband had to let her comfortable position be disturbed because Raya had already turned around now.
Nev thought Raya would welcome his return with a warm kiss or something more. But Raya's next statement was quite confusing for the man.
"Who's Luisa?" tanya Raya with a twinkle of her eyes wanted a plain year.
Never frowned, why should I ask about that woman now? Though Nev was most lazy to talk about Luisa now or anytime. But wait, why did Raya know about a woman named Luisa?
"Who's Luisa, Nev?" tanya Raya cupped both sides of Nev's jaw.
"Nobody, not important. Why ask him?" nev said back asking in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Nobody huh? But why does he know so much about you? And he also said ... know about me from you?" raya concluded, he had waited too long to hear the explanation from Nev directly, so he did not waste time and immediately asked when Nev came home.
"He said that?"
Raya nodded.
"When?" nev's question is still in a relaxed intonation.
"Yesterday, at the restaurant."
"He's meeting you? You met?" Now that Nev changed his position to sit on the bed, his voice suddenly rose.
Raya nodded again.
Nev rubbed his own face then looked back at Raya seriously. "Don't see him again, okay?" he said softly and convincingly.
"Why?"
"Nope, I just don't like that."
"Actually, we accidentally met at the restaurant. Then we met again at the bookstore. I don't know why I feel like he's following me, Nev.." said Raya bluntly.
Nev took a long breath.
"I think he followed me after the restaurant" Raya continued.
Nev shook. "He followed you from home" said Nev.
"Because he did something similar to me" replied Nev lazily.
"Huh?"
"Luisa was my neighbor when we were both living in a parent's house" Nev said frankly.
"Then?"
"Yes, I don't know why he started following me wherever I went. So you shouldn't be surprised that he knows almost everything about me. And about me telling me about you and him, that's bullshit baby. I'm not that close to him" Nev said at length.
"So you mean, she found out for herself about me?"
Nev nodded. "Maybe..."
Suddenly Raya was blown away, making Nev dumbstruck by astonishment.
"Why?" ask Nev.
"It's okay, just surprised that my husband has fanatical fans," said Raya chuckled.
Nev chuckles. But then he held onto both of the shoulders of the Kingdom and stared at her intensely. "Obviously, you should be careful with Luisa, okay?"
"Why is that?"
"Yes I'm afraid, he was my real stalker a long time ago. These few years have stopped. I thought, she's gonna stop stalking me forever, turns out she's crumbling again after seeing me heal and marry you."
"So yeah, I'll be careful from now on .." said Raya.
"Good girl's. What do you want to eat next night, honey?" ask Nev to change the subject.
Raya seemed to think for a moment before her sentence slid. "Bakso.." she chuckled later.
...🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸...
In the evening, they went out to dinner. Nev frees Raya to designate the place where his wife wants to eat and Raya chooses to eat at the Night Market where they used to spend time together.
"Why eat here?" ask Nev chuckles.
"Nothing, this place always remembers me as you," replied Raya cradled Nev for a moment then they got down from the car simultaneously.
After ordering food at the stand, Nev asked Raya to sit in wait and this time Nev would bring the food to their table.
"Care you here to just eat this meatball?" nev's question led to a bowl of food in front of them.
Raya nodded repeatedly and Nev stroked the top of his head with affection.
"Yes, now my dear is eating, Aaaa..." As usual Nev feeds Raya a meal until the food is left.
Finished with the food, they took a walk around the market that night.
"You remember, first we came here at that time we didn't have a status" Nev said.
"Wrongly, at that time we had a status really," said Raya.
"Status is unclear." Nev and Raya sneered.
"Not that, our status at that time as a superior and caregiver."
Nev smiled a little. "Is that so?" tanyakanya.
Raya nodded.
"I was still in a wheelchair, and now I'm standing straight. You know, besides the power of God, it's all thanks to you, too." said Nev stroked Raya's cheek that began to chubby.
Raya smiled, then her eyes looked at Biang lala who was in front of her.
"Now can we ride it?" tanya Raya pointed at the reed lala with her chin.
Nev laughs. "So the desire to ride it has not been fulfilled yet?" his lips.
Raya did not answer, instead leading Nev to the place of purchase of tickets to ride the lala biang.
They ride a reed lala which turns out to be not worth the size of Nev's towering body. Nev was quite tormented by his uncomfortable sitting there, but seeing the smile on his wife's lips he finally smiled as well.
"I'm happy, I can finally come here with you" chirped Raya.
"I'm happier because I'm the one who accompanied you here again" Nev said. His wife's dream was so simple it made him a little amused by it.
The lala burrow began to spin and they enjoyed the beauty of the night from above. Nev's eyes catch the sight of the lanterns that begin to fly up into the sky. Seeing that, Nev became reminded of something.
"Honey, until now I was still wondering what hope you wrote in the lantern that night," Nev said to Raya who still enjoyed the scenery around from the top of the spinning ring.
Raya chuckles. Then shake a few times.
"I never wrote anything of hope there" said Raya.
"Then?"
"I just write your name and mine, and then the hope is in here" replied Raya holding her own chest.
The corner of Nev's lips was drawn, revealing the most charming smile to hear his wife's review. He did not expect it to turn out that since then Raya had hoped for him by writing the names of the two of them in the lantern.
"What hope do you have?" ask Nev again.
"My hope has been realized Nev, because my hope is our togetherness in a halal bond" said Raya.
