Both of his eyes only stared at the streets when alvendra took him away to the alvarez mansion. Along the way no one opened the conversation, there was only the noise of the speed of the car that alvendra brought. During the roughly twenty-five minute journey, the two of them finally reached the grand residence of the alvarez family. Nervousness of course crashing rayya when his eyes looked at the mansion, it felt he still could not believe that he had become part of the biggest and influential family. Alvendra stopped his car right in front of the stairs near the entrance of his mansion, he removed the seatbelt that tied him to prepare to get off before he realized if the wife was still in the passenger seat.
"Is there a problem?" He asked to resuscitate his wife, and that was proven when Rayya was surprised and then turned to her.
".....Nothing, I'm just nervous" he explained, who immediately removed the seatbelt that tied him. When he was about to open the door of his car, he was surprised by alvendra who had already opened the door first, he was confused when alvendra to make Rayya a little smile kik yuk but still down and now stand right next to the husband.
"Are you ready, baby?" Said alvendra while extending his hand towards Rayya which made Rayya suddenly just stare softly at the helping hand. He was still silent for a moment staring at the speech, then staring at the ground that he was on. He smiled wryly then looked up again and smiled beautifully towards alvendra by not forgetting to receive the helping hand even though his one hand was tightly grasping the wallet he carried when he saw how the husband smiling handsomely this time.
The two of them walked up the stairs to the big door that was there. Arriving inside the rayya just silent while following the steps of alvendra who led him to walk towards the long and quiet hallway. The focus was only on the link of his second hand with occasionally he looked at the sturdy husband's back, until they both now arrived in the middle room. Where in the room there is an old man who sits majestically while enjoying a cup of tea that has been presented at the table. Rayya who saw him could only fall silent while looking at him.
"Grandfather !!" Call alvendra who disperse the man's focus so that the iris of the male eagle was directly staring at the couple in front of him. A smile imprinted on the face printed with age, he stood up from his seat to greet with joy.
"Ah my grandson and his wife have arrived !! come here to come !!" Pinta the grandfather was returned with a smile by Rayya. The two walked over and sat down next to the grandfather who was sitting in the main seat in the living room.
"Ah, grandfather has long been waiting for the arrival of the daughter-in-law in this family to revive the atmosphere of this old house" he said happily to his special attention to Rayya.
Rayya just smiled in response with an occasional nod of her head.
"So why didn't you decide to come straight here, Rayya boy?" Asked the grandfather who made rayya look up at the old face.
"I'm just not ready to take on the responsibility of being the daughter-in-law of this family, grandfather." Rayya was polite
"That's !!!" Sela the grandfather with a loud voice. "Omong empty what are you talking about, of course you're ready. Besides, you're actually ready, it's just that your husband doesn't want to bring you here yet". He said with a sharp delicacy staring at alvendra which is also where alvendra stared back sharply at the grandfather.
"I'm sorry?" Rayya again who did not understand what he just heard.
"Grandfather, if there's nothing else to say then let rayya rest or at least have dinner." Cut the alvendra that makes the grandfather sit leaning while covering his tea again.
"Yes that you can do, grandfather here just want to tell you if you are going to stay in Alvarez's main residence while grandfather will stay in the second residence ." Obviously before he got up from his seat and was about to leave from there.
"Grandfather should go rest, sorry can not accompany you to dinner together. There's a sudden business, I hope you'll take it. And alvendra, when you're done, can you meet Grandpa at my residence??" Which ink with heavy heart alvendra must agree.
The atmosphere of silence was created afterwards when the departure of the old man, both rayya and alvendra just stay in the seat before the attention rayya moved to catch the husband who stood up from his seat to walk about to leave rayya. But the presumption was wrong when alvendra stopped and looked straight at the wife who was still staring asked to alvendra.
"Let's have dinner" Invite him who then walks ahead, leaving Rayya on the living room couch. Rayya's face immediately turned sour, she smiled bitterly then quickly stood up to walk after the husband.
He walked in the long hallway of the house and found the family dining room table is so magnificent like a banquet in the palace. In his face, alvendra who was sitting in the main seat with a sharpened view towards the dining table as if struggling with his mind, rayya guessed that the husband was uncomfortable in this large house so he kept silent for a moment while staring at the face of alvendra who was just silent thinking about something.
"Why is the madam just standing? let's sit down we'll prepare the dinner menu" Tegur the housemaid who surprised his rayya.
"Ah, fine..." Reply Rayya who then walked to sit not far from the husband who was still silent in the same position. Rayya did not dare to reprimand him and just went silent to make the atmosphere at the dining table feel very cold untouched. Both eyeballs were raised to look at the table area then that is directly adjacent to the kitchen, there are at least four people who are still working in the kitchen, he said, and among all the servants there was one of the servants who wore different clothes than the others indicating that the person was the head, Rayya thought. After dinner, some waiters left their hosts so they could enjoy the dinner quietly.
Deep in the alvendra mansion's large hallway, there was one of the servants walking side by side with the woman next to him, "Did they have a fight?" Ask the figure of a middle-aged woman who wears clothes different from the others.
All eyes were immediately on the butler who was silent with a slightly dislikeful facial expression. Suddenly the woman stopped making the others surprised and hit each other's strapping body earlier. The murmuring sounds came out from the lips of some servants when his head stopped abruptly, the woman turned to look at her men who immediately lowered their heads in fear with their two hands resting on each other below.
"From now on you have no right to gossip about the young master, talk about what happened, see what should not be seen and remain silent as usual. You are on the paycheck here not for the nonsense you just saw and heard so for that so that in the future you can better maintain a good attitude in front or behind understand !!" The firmness that makes the heads of his men also come down with the last bluff of their superiors.
"I'm sorry Mom !!" Said one of them who made the woman just grunt quietly, "You can go back home".
"Good !!" Said the three of them in unison who then immediately left the middle-aged woman in the hallway earlier with a headband feeling dizzy from the attitude of his subordinates.

If this time in the alvarez mansion feels so cold, let's now quibble at the alterio residence that feels gripping and hot. Reisya was sitting in front of a dresser displaying the reflection of her face, she kept staring deeply at the two black irises that were glowing dimly. Such a lethargic face had no spirit to do the things he used to love, about when the joy that had been attached to his face now disappeared and was replaced with a lethargic and sad mimic but he covered with a sharp gaze full of suspicion and inner pressure that is currently he's natural. That is the sentence that is currently reisya think, not to mention the incident last afternoon that adds to the fear of losing the consequences of him again.
In the middle of the daydream mobile phone reisya vibrate to make it immediately cut off eye contact with the shadow. At the sight of the phone, an unread message from arsenic added to his heart's vibration. It is not a romance but a debate that makes anyone feel parno. The murmur of his veins felt strange in his body when the feeling came along with the cold that suddenly pierced his skin.
An unread message now grows to two, three, four and so on until it ends with an incoming call that further renders its powerless reissue holding back its fear. His irises instantly shimmered in all directions, in fear he glanced at every object and place in a remote corner to worry about something where there could be an impromptu jump square that can cause a sudden heart attack. Still with his fear when looking at all corners of his room, the sound of the door opening sounded so strong that it made his voice jump in shock staring at the door of his room.
"MOTHER ?!!" He shouted at that moment as he stared at the presence of the mother in the doorway who looked at his son with a confused look.
"Rei.....?! why is it that yelling like seeing a ghost??" Asked the mother plainly to the child, reisya immediately closed his eyes took a deep breath and took it out. He hated his thoughts which then turned to look at the mother who was still standing on the spot.
...."I saw a horror movie when my mom suddenly opened my door". Clearly, while gulping saliva to neutralize the heartbeat that is still pumped tightly.
"You're all there". The mother's dream that was greeted by the beautiful smile of the child, reisya pulled her hair back to give a little wind to hit her face that was cold sweat and then looked back at her beloved mother.
"What's mom here for?" It was the question that really made him curious. The mother who remembered also immediately crossed her hands to warm her body between the sweaters worn.
"Arsen's coming, he's been waiting for you downstairs quickly meet him !!" His words were relaxed but made his reaction unusual.
"Why do you look so surprised? he tried calling you earlier but said you didn't pick him up. Hurry down and meet him pity he's been waiting downstairs long enough with your dad." Obviously the mother who then rushed away from there left the child who was still in a feeling of surprise.
"Why did you come here, arsen......." Murmuring with a feeling of worry, he lowered his head until he almost touched his thigh.
While in the living room arsen was sitting and joking with Reisya's father, in the midst of the laughter, arsenic saw that Reisya's mother had come with a few glasses of fresh lemon water with a few small snacks of sausage, some pieces of apples and bananas and some large fried shrimp with a very tempting red color.
"Jeez aunty doesn't have to bother to prepare it !!" Arsenic stood up to help.
Camilla chuckled, "It's no trouble at all son" After giving the wooden tray to the arsenic. Camilla was sitting across the arsenic when it came down from her room, in the distance on the stairs was reisya staring anxiously at arsenic and his parents who smiled at each other with a laugh that echoed on each wall of the house. Beautiful scenery is indeed but it is only an expectation when a reality slaps hard reisya wishful thinking that makes her shed tears instantly.
On the living room sofa was arsenic memotice the presence of reisya from far away, but the smile that was originally happy to see the arrival of reisya now turned flat making the atmosphere that was originally calm in the middle room was suddenly quiet when the couple alterio found the arsenic just silent by staring in one direction. Yuhendra turned around and glanced in the direction that the arsenic was heading as well as Camilla and saw their only child standing far away on the stairs there.
"Why just stay there?? here dear arsenic has been waiting for you from earlier" The voice of the father was heard adding to the eardrum of reisya which made the girl raise her face after removing some tears that had come down.
Camilla smiled at the child without knowing if she had cried, "Don't just stand there let's say arsenic".
"Good mother..dad...." Said Reisya who then walked towards the direction the three of them gathered. When reisya walked towards them earlier reisya continued to avoid the gaze of arsenic that was still fixed with him without wanting to divert it for a second since he saw it from the stairs earlier.
Reisya who sat with her mother then just stared at arsenic at a glance to greet her.
"So you two are going to play?" Camilla asked who made Reisya raise her head in surprise.
"..what..??" He was surprised by looking at his mother.
"Yes aunty, (towards Yuhendra) can I borrow a reisya for a moment??" Ask him without hesitation.
"But.rei should..." Speech of his reisya that was not heard by his mother and father because of his voice that was a little slow.
"Don't be too late and far away! remember ten o'clock reisya had to get to his house." Yuhendra's message got a sweet smile of arsenic.
"Oh ready om I will anterin reisya home safely without blisters, if my blisters are ready to get the jackpot kok hehe" Canda arsen who invited laughter Camilla.
"You're all there, you go carefully on the road !!" Camilla's message turned in turn to the two children.
"But ma...."
arsen stood up from his seat and extended his hand towards his reisya. "Come on princess our date is waiting !!" He said with a distinctive smile of his that invites embarrassment from the couple's alterio.
Inevitably reisya was forced to accept the helping hand after all refused even free he also needs to know the reason for arsenic coming to his house at this time. Arriving outside the reisya immediately released his hand grip of arsenic made the man a little surprised.
"Why rei?" Arsen asked confusedly.
Reisa pulled her hair back, "What are you doing here all night?? and asked me for a date anyway. What have you told my mom and dad?" Cecar reisya who made arsenic now changed his expression flatly. Not forgetting the man smiled at the end while putting both hands in the jacket he was wearing, he lowered his head for a while trying to understand the funny question and then looked up again.
"Ah, you seem to have forgotten not to read all my messages or pick up my phone" he replied casually which made his reisya a little tired.
Arsen stared straight at his reisya, "I told you that we are dating and I also said that we will have a date together tonight !!" she said with a sweet smile at the end.
"WHAT ?!!" Shocked reisya as soon as he heard her.
"Lo crazy arsenic ?!! since when are we?" The resolute reisya that made arsenic only raised one eyebrow.
"Lo want to know Rei?" Asked a slightly ambiguous arsenic made his reisya a little surprised. Slowly the arsenic walked closer to the reisya until it had made the reisya back a few steps but because the step that arsenic took wide and quickly made the incident happen so quickly.
The two black slices of his reisya opened wide as arsenic blatantly kissed his lips right in his reisya mouth. There was no movement whatsoever just an ordinary kiss that arsenic landed on and it could make some sense of his reisya numb, he was still in the same position with that unconscious shock. Arsen opened his eyes to see how Reisya was just silent when he kissed, he distanced himself and held next to his cheek by stroking it slowly. With a sweet smile arsen said that could tear down the real world today.
"From here to yesterday and the first time we meet it is our anniversary !!" He spoke softly which was still not digestible by his reisya, let alone with a shady gaze that was so warming this feeling.
