"Anna is so happy we're going to South Korea. Dreams reached An... Haha..." Said Alisha while sipping hot milk chocolate.

"Yes, yes Cha. How can I fit a gini? Travelling with us." Said the delighted Aira.

Arka saw him so happy. Why also grumbled earlier? Hahaha.

"Wouldn't you like to go to Namsan Tower, An? She wanted to go there but she wanted the same husband. He said that. The realization of An. Haha..." Said Ayni who was wearing her jacket.

Abhimanyu who saw his wife's behavior so spoiled, very happy. Never had he seen his wife's happy smile like this.

Tau that, invited to travel continue with Abi. The problem is not in the budget. But in time. Anna is now busier than Abi. Haha...

His schedule is creeping. Seminar too. Workshop moreover. Career woman yes...

"Dec, do you like it?" Abi asked who had noticed Anna's smile since.

"Like dongg.. well.itung-itung holiday is. of all my routines." He hugged Abi's arm and rested his head on Abi's arm.

"If there's time, we go for a walk. Wanna not? If there is no time, then it is okay... Hehe..." He told Abi.

"Jiaahs... Anna di gombalin's. Haha..." Her speech.

"Little, gombalinya. Where are you going? To the Namsan Tower? Like your friends said?" Ask Abi to Anna.

"That's willing. But there's one place and I'm really trying that." He said while showing the grin of his horse.

"Where?" Abi asked as he sipped his warm coffee.

"Bungee jumping." Her friends around her were surprised not to play.

"Anna! What crazy, huh, yak? Bungee jumping ? An, there are a lot of romantic places. Why is it a game like that?" Said Aira with a flick of her lips.

"An, there's Nami Island. Especially if you want to enter this winter. Beautiful sure. We'll go there, yeah..." Ayni said calmly.

"Anna, my beautiful best friend. We take a walk or shop at Dongdaemun Market." Alisha said reassuringly.

"And he who won mecahin math problem he who can certainly place his streets? Where am I going?" Anna said that made the husbands more confused.

"Let's go, then. What the hell is going on? We're confused? Try to clear it up." Aryo.

Anna explained that a few days ago they were racing to solve a basic MTK problem.

Anna won. He got a magic card. His card is about setting tourist destinations for sightseeing in South Korea.

"That's the story." Anna explained.

"Keep up on how many occasions? Who won that? To determine the destination of the tour.?" Ask Aldi.

"3x chance." Answer Anna lightly.

"Where's your first choice, An?" Ask Arka to Anna.

"Emmm... Namsan Tower is like." Anna.

"Oh, we follow..." Alisha pasrah.

"Great work really Neng. To test the strength and courage of husbands." Anna said with a glance at Abi.

"meaning?" Ask Ayni confused.

"Challenge for her husband, Bungee jumping with his wife and alone. How dare the husbands?" Anna asked with a shrewd glance.

"Brave! Who's afraid!" Said those men.

IN THE PLANE

"Mas Abi's... Anna's scared." He said that for a long time he had never boarded a plane traveling far.

"This is near Mas Abi. It's ok, honey. We are flying. We can see the sky. It's beautiful sky. Feel that you like a bird and enjoy the wind to bring you go up, go up, and go up to the sky." Abi whispered in Anna's ear by hugging Anna's body.

Anna was so comfortable in Abi's arms. Until he fell asleep. Abi smiled to herself. Seeing Anna so excited since last night that she didn't sleep well.

Talk about South Korea. A place she would love to visit with her husband. Alhamdulillah.

Thanks to Adit and Dian ya. He had to carry his suitcase and his friends.

Aldi who knew that Ayni would get airsick, had prepared from the beginning. He asked Ayni to half-lay down so as not to get too nauseous.

"Mas Al. dizzy..." Said Ayni who complained to her personal doctor. Who else if not Aldi. Her husband's.

"Yes, honey. That's the effect you took the medicine earlier. The medicine contains incredible sleepy effects. You just sleep yeah. let the nausea decrease." Said Aldi who gently stroked Ayni's head.

Another Anna, another Ayni. This time it was Alisha who was very afraid of heights. He was sweating cold sweat.

"Darling.You wear a jacket first. This cold will be if it's late at night." Aryo asks Alisha to wear a jacket.

Aryo helps Alisha put on a jacket and lays it next to her by tightly grasping Aryo's hand.

Alisha tries to close her eyes and long she sleeps in the soft cradle of Aryo's hand touching her cheek.

Aira is the same. He was very sick on his plane trip.

"Mas Arka, Aira couldn't. It's so nauseous." Said Aira who had been back and forth to the toilet because of her nausea.

Arka who could not bear to see it, asked the nausea drug to Aldi who had been taken by Ayni.

"Sir, take this medicine dulua ya. Let's not be nauseous. He was given to Aldi. Drink it, baby. The effect is severe drowsiness. But it can reduce your nausea." Talk to Aira.

Now it is the duty of the husbands to take care of his wife. Because their husbands are most often on and off planes with any airplane condition.

"Bi, have you tried calling Adit? Tell me we're on a plane?" Ask Aryo whose sitting distance is only front and back with Abi.

"Udah. I was on the phone. He said he couldn't get us straight to the airport. Because tomorrow afternoon's the show." Obviously Abi.

"Wow, means we arrive, naro goods doang in the hotel directly to Adit's wedding? Tepar dong bini I..." Arka sat in front of Abi.

"Every time, Ar. This is Ayni, not really bud. But hopefully all will be well." Said Aldi who was ready to sleep and held Ayni.

"Yee.. the Aldi mah pervert in the umbar." Said Arka who then followed up to lie next to Aira and embrace her.

"Lo's also his name, panjuull..." Said Aryo who then enveloped Alisha to the limit of Alisha's neck and leaned her head on the plane seat.

Abhimanyu just shook his head. Heard his sohibs chattering incessantly.

He leaned his body on the plane seat and cupped Anna's face in his arms.

*****

After a 7-hour journey they reached Incheon Airport. They have been welcomed by the team from Adit and Dian who already know the arrival of his friends.

"Assynolajet. *Annyeongghas*eyo ?" Greet the people who picked them up.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Annyonghaseyo says. Johaeun achim imnida." Said Anna well.

Abi was amazed by his wife. Which he did not expect to be able to speak the language of the Gingseng Country.

"Indonesian chulsinibnikka ? (Are you from Indonesia, right?)." Said one of the tour guides from South Korea.

"ye. Majseubnid. Ulineun Adit - wa Diana chingu ibnida. (Yes. That's right. We are Adit and Dian friends)." Said Anna who made her friends flabbergasted because she was so eloquent in saying it.

"Dek, can you speak Korean? Mas Abi thought, we need an interpreter (one who translates orally)." Said Abi who was amazed by his wife.

"A little Mas Abi. Hehe..." He said with a horse.

"hotel-e gaja ulinun gyeolhonsig patie gal su-issneun geosboda hyusig-eul chwihal su issseubnida. (Let's go to the hotel. You can take rest than we can go to the wedding party)." Said the father of tour guide.

"Okey." Anna said with a sweet smile.

"Tour guide took us to the hotel. After that rest and the sore new to his marriage Adit and Dian. That means. Come on, man." Anna led the group.

"Bi, you really don't know your wife can speak Korean?" Ask Arka.

"Don't know. The vow. My parents-in-law didn't tell me anything. Anna didn't tell me anything either." He was quite confused at the moment.

502 (Aryo & Alisha)

"Mas, you wanna take a shower? Or just gonna lay it down for a second?" Ask Alisha to Aryo.

Aryo sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Alisha close by.

"Is it still nauseous?" Tanya Aryo who checks Alisha's body temperature because it was a bit of an angel body.

"No. Icha is fine. Thank goodness." He said with a smile.

"We fell back on deck. Then I just checked my clothes. It's so sleepy." Said Aryo who had since he looked lethargic.

"Yes, Mas Yo, take a break. Injunctive. Icha was on the plane. Thanks, hon..." He said as he softly kissed Aryo and Aryo cheeks stroked Alisha's cheeks.

Aryo sleeps, Alisha is busy preparing her clothes and Aryo's clothes.

Arka took off her jacket and shoes. He immediately landed his body on the bed.

"Mas Arka wants to go to bed first?" Aira asked who was also taking off her jacket.

"Yes deck. I don't know why his eyes are so heavy." Said Arka who put her body on the bed.

Aira approached him and sat on the edge of the bed while stroking the head of Arka.

"Thank you, baby, you've been looking after Aira on the plane. Sorry, troublesome." Said Aira who felt guilty for making Arka tired like that.

"I don't feel bothered. Not at all. I'm glad you feel I can take care of you." He said and kissed the back of Aira's hand.

Before long, Arka was already in his dreamland. The aira? Busy stuffing his suitcase and Arka's suitcase. Prepare clothes for the wedding party.

504 (Aldi & Ayni)

"Dec, are you still nauseous?" Ask Aldi who is sitting on the sofa.

"Not so, Mas. From getting off the plane, Ayni's fine." Said Ayni who was taking off her jacket.

Aldi moved positions. He sits on the bed. Somehow when he slept on the plane and woke up from his sleep, his body felt crumpled. Not very good anyway.

Aldi put his body in bed.

"Darling.Here, one second." Said Aldi who woke up from his bed.

"Why Mas Al?" Ayni asked who was unpacking the suitcase so it was delayed because of Aldi's call.

"Dek, you know who Adit is and who Dian is. Both have existed in our past history. Let's close the old sheet and start with the new sheet baby..." Say it by gently stroking Ayni's cheek.

"Mas Aldi, my dear. From the beginning I married you, for me it was a new page. Doesn't Aldi feel that way? Is there still guilt with Adit for Mas marrying me?" Said Ayni who was unable to hold back her tear dam.

"Hey... Al didn't mean that. I'm just afraid you're still imagining the past." Said Aldi while wiping away Ayni's tears.

"That's why Mas Al doesn't believe in Ayni?" He stood before Aldi and walked away from Aldi.

"Dec... I mean, I don't mean that. Mas just___" Not had time to finish his speech Ayni immediately replied.

"Mas just can't afford to feel guilty or regret marrying Ayni? That's how it means?" Said Ayni who was already crying with a sigh.

"Sayanggg. I just love you too much. Afraid of losing you. You know how worried I am every day because you and Adit will meet again. I'm afraid you're leaving me Ayni. I love you too much. Can't feel like I'm gonna have to let you go. Just imagine that I can't afford to..." Clearly Abi approached Ayni again and tried to hug her.

"Mas Al, don't trust Ayni then." Ayni's retreat makes Aldi even more panicked for fear that Ayni will leave.

"No, deck. I really believe in you." Said the one who tried to approach Ayni back.

"Mas Al, here, is sick... Mas (Ayni pointed at his chest). My own husband doesn't trust me. Do I still have the right to love you, if you don't believe me, Mas..." He said by moving backwards away from Aldi.

"Darling... Mas sorry. Mas Al didn't mean to hurt you. Please, trust me, deck. I just can't live without you. Ayni's... Mas Al please. Believe the same, yes." He immediately hugged Ayni who was crying fell down because she could not support her body.

Aldi is so stupid. He cursed himself. Why do we still care about old history. He's too stupid and now, see? Ayni hurt her heart.

"Aynii. forgive Mas Aldi. Forgive me for making you hurt. I will make it up to anything. I beg you, take care of your sadness, dear..." Say Aldi by gently tucking Ayni's head.

"Don't ever say that again, Mom. Ayni couldn't help Ayni's heartache over what you said." Said Ayni who limply body.

"Yes. Aldi promises not to repeat. Sorry my dear. Maafin. I love you so much, Ayni." He kissed Ayni's forehead.

Aldi carried Ayni to the bed and laid her body. They lay face to face.

"Mas Al. I love you so much. Never repeat that word again. I'm sick, Mas..." Ayni said with her voice.

"Yes, honey. Al loves you too. Forgive me for hurting you. Forgive me Aldi, dear..." Said Aldi while dipping Ayni temple.

"Mas, you need to know. Adit is no longer in my heart. Even that history I've wiped clean from my memory. Because I know you mean more than anything. For Ayni, there is Mas Aldi is enough. Ayni doesn't want anything. Enough of you..." Say Ayni with the rest of her energy.

"Sorry Mas is too scared to lose you, deck. Because fear becomes a fruit that does not believe in you. Forgive me Aldi. You're far from everything to me, Ayni. Beyond anything. I love you so much. I'm sorry, honey..." He said while kissing Ayni's forehead.

505 (Abi & Anna)

"Mas Abi, what's the rest first?" Anna asked Abi.

"Sir, why don't you tell me you can speak Korean?" Asked Abi who pitched a bit angry like him.

"Sorry, Anna didn't mean to not tell. Because Anna is also not fluent in Korean. Anna just knows her language. Anna only heard from the drama or the song. No more than that, my mother..." Said Anna who stopped from unpacking the suitcase and approached Abi sitting on the sofa of the hotel room.

"Mas Abi is angry with Anna?" Anna asked in her gentle tone.

"Yes. Mas Abi was angry. Because I never told you the same about this. I felt awkward when my friends asked if I could speak Korean? Can't answer. Because I don't know." The light of Abi to Anna.

"Sorry Anna, yes... Anna had no intention at all to not tell or cover it up from Mas Abi. There's absolutely nothing. Anna will tell Mas Abi everything from now on, yes. Okay." Okay." Said Anna by stroking Abi's cheek.

"Promise?"

"Yes. Promise."

"Grandpa..." Said Anna with her pot.

"I'm sorry... Mas Abi was angry with you. Mas's tone is high to you, deck?" Ask Abi.

"No. But Anna's scared." His words are still in Abi's arms.

"Fearful? Why?" Ask Abi.

"Fear. Mas Abi his face was very serem. I'm like a lion trying to kill its prey. Hauumm... Haha..." Anna said with a joke that made Abi unable to cover her smile.
