Wardani who was in the kitchen rushed towards the front room when she heard the bell. The woman did not expect that her granddaughter had arrived, but they had just informed her 10 minutes ago that they were still on their way. How surprised Wardani when opening the door, it turns out the guest who came was a man who had not met for a long time.
“Assalamu’alaikum. Pripun kabare, ma'am (how's it going, ma'am?),” asked Bayu.
“Waalaikumsalam. Thank goodness, come mlebu (Alhamdulillah well, come in).”
Bayu followed Wardani's steps inside. Wardani invited Bayu to sit on the sofa in the front room. While the woman headed for the kitchen, asked her domestic assistant to make drinks and slice a cake that had just been cooked for Bayu. Then she followed her husband in the room.
Wardani and Cahyadi approached Bayu in the living room. Behind them, the housekeeper brought drinks and cakes to the visiting guests. Bayu immediately approached Cahyadi then kissed the back of his hand, then sat himself back down.
“Piye how are you? Wes suwe ga tau mren (how are you? It has been a long time also yes, never been here),” said Cahyadi.
“Alhamdulillah sae sir. Kulo nembe wangsul so Berlin pitung sasi kepungkur (Alhamdulillah well, sir. I just got back from Berlin seven months ago).”
“Wes rabbi, Yu? Wes duwe piro's son? (is married, Yu? How many kids do you have?).”
“Shop, mom (yet, mom).”
“Awakmu lecture nang overseas kok ra iso by wong wedok. Nang german kan akeh arek ayu, mosok siji wae ora enek sing nyantol (you study abroad kok can not get women there. In Germany there are many beautiful women, one time you do not dapet).”
Bayu could only be silent to hear Wardani's words. The woman's words successfully touched her feelings. His departure must have hurt Pipit and of course his parents. But Bayu was determined to get Pipit back, whatever the obstacles.
“Saiki you welcome gawe nang ngendi? (where do you work now?),” asked Cahyadi.
“Dateng Bandung healthy partner hospital, sir (at Mitra Sehat hospital, in Bandung, sir).”
“Means wes pethuk karo Pipit? (means you've met Pipit?).”
“Inggeh bu, kulo sampun often kepadjuran Pipit (iya, ma'am. I often meet Pipit).”
No reaction from Wardani. Actually the woman already knew about Bayu's return from Ida. He also knew that in these months Bayu continued to approach Pipit. He asked the youngest child to come back to him. As a mother, Wardani certainly did not like her son to be treated that way. Already left without news, now casually come asking for back.
“Salaresipun kulo mriki badhe bulging Pipit problem (Actually I came here to talk about Pipit),” Bayu continued his speech. He's going in on his goal of coming to see Pipit's parents.
“Ono opo karo Pipit? (What's with Pipit),” asked Cahyadi.
“Kulo wonten badhe nglamar intention pipit. Sak umpami father lan mother mboten sanity (i intend to propose Pipit, if father and mother do not mind).”
The mood was silent for a moment. Cahyadi looked directly at Wardani. The man was quite surprised to hear Bayu's words. With anxious hopes, Bayu waited for the reaction of the two men Pipit.
“Pipit wes duwe candidates. Opo Pipit ain't yawnekne? (Pipit already has a candidate. Didn't he tell you?),” replied Cahyadi.
“Roxas sir? Nanging dekne is enom sanget. Luwih fits impromptu ponakan tinimbang dados garwo (Roxas, sir? If he is too young. More suitable to be ponakan than her husband).”
“La nek pipit love yo ra dadi problem. Roxas yo koyok e arek slick, diligent lan pastine ora ninggalake pipit keeps on going ora ono kabare (if the pipitnya love ya nothing. Roxas seems like a good boy too. He is diligent and certainly will not leave Pipit suddenly and then disappear without news).”
Once again the words of Wardani menyohok feelings Bayu. He always doesn't dwell when he's told about the past. It is wrong to suddenly decide Pipit for choosing a career and going abroad to continue studying in Berlin. But doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? He would correct his mistake and make Pipit happy, replacing the wounds he had been given.
Just now Bayu was about to answer Wardani's words, suddenly the sound of a car stopped in front of the residence Cahyadi, followed by a rowdy voice. Wardani immediately got up from her seat and then walked out. His favorite grandson had already come along with his friends and of course Roxas.
“Assalamu’alaikum, healthy mbah?” Aditya approached Wardani and kissed the back of her hand.
“Waalaikumsalam, healthy. How's tour? Success?”
“Alhamdulillah, success mbah.”
“Health, mom?”
Roxas advanced forward then kissed the back of Wardani's hand. The woman simply answered Roxas' question with a soft pat on the man's back. Rangga, Rivan, and Fay kiss Wardani on the back of her hand. The grandmother of Aditya immediately invited the grandson and the others in.
Aditya went straight to Cahyadi and kissed the back of his hand. Roxas and the others followed what Aditya did. Roxas gasped as Cahyadi hugged him. Her heart was more flowery just seeing the response of her future in-laws. Bayu was only able to be silent to see the scene in front of him, until Aditya finally realized his existence.
“Eh no om Bayu, healthy om,” Aditya salutes Bayu.
“Alhamdulillah healthy.”
Hearing Aditya's words, Roxas turned his head. The two men who were fighting over Pipit's heart looked at each other with eyes that were difficult to interpret. Both of them show competition.
“Says Goddess is pregnant, Dit?” ask Wardani.
“Iya, mbah.”
“Young pregnant wife left behind. What will you crave?”
“Can there be a bang Ad.”
“Heh! Goddess is your wife what Ad?” upset Wardani while patting Aditya's arm.
Uhuk..
Roxas who was drinking immediately coughed at hearing that. Seeing Roxas choking, Wardani patted the man on the back quite hard, making the master grimace.
“Mbah.. laper,” exciting Aditya.
“Let's eat first. Mbah has cooked gudeg, krecek same opor chicken.”
“Asiikk.”
Aditya takes Roxas and the others to the dining room. His stomach was already rumbling. Wardani called her housekeeper to help prepare the food. Cahyadi who walked the back, looked at Bayu and then invited the man to eat together.
“Let's go maem with dhisek, Yu (Wood, let's eat first)."
The man nodded his head, then stood up and walked following Cahyadi. The two men took a place in the remaining seats, then began to enjoy a lunch that was timed faster than the actual time.
After eating together, Rangga, Rivan and Fay enter the room that Wardani had prepared. Aditya also went straight into the room, he wanted to make a video call with Dewi. It's different with Roxas. The man chose to meet Bayu on the terrace. He stood beside Bayu.
“I did not expect, om Bayu had the guts also met the same mother father.”
“Why not? I've known them for a long time. It's only natural that you meet them. Is something wrong?”
“Ngga. But after what Bayu om did to Pipit, it turns out om still have the courage to come here. Om Bayu would want to apply for Pipit, right?”
“If yes, why? Are you afraid to compete healthy with me?”
“Ngga. I wish I could compete healthy. I just hope you're not forcing your desires too much. Pipit is not a woman who has no feelings. After he hurt her, he asked for her back. Do you think Pipit has been single because he waited for her to come back? Pipit chose to be single until now because of the wounds that have been inflicted on him. He doesn't trust men anymore. He thought all men were the same, just coming and going as he pleased, as if he was just a stopover. Have you ever thought about getting there?”
Bayu. Didn't expect this man beside her to be able to speak at length to her. What Roxas said must be admittedly true. But once again, Bayu chose to be selfish. He's determined to get Pipit's apology and take it to the underwriting.
“What happened to me and Pipit, let it be our business. You don't have to bother taking care of it. Obviously, I'm not giving up. I'll get Pipit back.”
“I won't give up either. It's time Pipit started a new life with a new person in his life.”
The conversation halted when they heard Deheman Cahyadi. Bayu immediately left Roxas, then approached Cahyadi. He said goodbye to the man, then immediately left the Cahyadi residence.
🌸🌸🌸
In the evening, after dinner, Aditya and his friends gather in front of the terrace. They sing and play the guitar. Besides them, there was also Parmin. He is the son of Mr. Bejo, the driver of Cahyadi. After Bejo retired, it was Parmin's turn to replace him.
Meanwhile, in the backyard, Roxas was chatting casually with Cahyadi and Wardani. This opportunity will be used by the man to express his desire to marry Pipit. Roxas sat on the floor, while Wardani and Cahyadi sat on chairs. Wardani slid her legs over the small chair and Roxas massaged her calves. Roxas massage feels right, not too tight but powerful.
“Your massage is good, Xas. You are smart masijat turns out,” said Wardani.
“Aalhamdulillah's. I like masseuse enin.”
“Pantes. You are a good boy. Enin would be proud to have a grandson like you.”
“Aamiin. hopefully yes Allah.”
Seeing the wife who enjoyed the Roxas massage so much, Cahyadi wanted to feel it too. He poked his feet into the little chair. With great force, Wardani lowered her legs and gave her husband a chance to get a massage.
“Begini, father, mother. I wanted to apologize to you guys.”
“Apologies what?”
Roxas took a deep breath for a moment. What he was about to say must have shocked the two old men in front of him. But he didn't want to be in a relationship with a lie. The man decided to be honest about his relationship with Pipit, whether these two people would accept it or not.
“Actually there is no connection between me and Pipit. At that time Pipit asked me to help be his pretended girlfriend, so as not to be betrothed and soon married as mother wishes.”
Kompak Wardani and Cahyadi looked at each other. Honestly speaking, they were shocked to hear Roxas' confession. In addition to believing what his son said, they also already liked Roxas. Wardani's emotions are instantly provoked.
“What do you mean?!”
“Sabar Ma'am, rungokne annotations Roxas disik (patience, ma'am. Listen to Roxas' explanation first),” Cahyadi tried to calm his wife.
“At first I was just a girlfriend pretending to be a pipit. But since then I realized that I had fallen in love with my mother's son. That's why I want the play we're playing to be true. I want to propose to Pipit. Whenever the father of the same mother wants me to marry her, In Shea Allah I am ready.”
“Hah?”
Roxas looked at Wardani without blinking. He did not understand what the woman was saying to him. Wardani, who was upset by the man in front of her, did not reply, patting Roxas' arm hard until he complained.
“Mothers talk Java, dekne opo ngerti? (mother spoke Java, did she understand?),” asked Cahyadi.
“I mean mom, you seriously want to marry Pipit? You really love my son?”
“Iya, mom. I'm serious,” Roxas' eyes look sparkling.
Wardani was silent for a moment. Then his eyes saw Aditya who was passing by. He called his grandson. Aditya comes closer. He was confused to see Roxas sitting on the floor while his grandparents were upstairs.
“Dit.. Now Goddess pregnant how many months?” ask Wardani.
“Four months if not wrong. Why, Mbah?”
“So in five months your wife will give birth.”
“Around that, mbah.”
“You can nda? I gave you five months to prepare. After the Goddess gave birth, you and Pipit got married,” Wardani looked at Roxas.
“In Shaa Allah willing, ma'am. But. I'm not sure that Pipit agrees.”
“You can persuade Pipit within five months. Ask Adit for help with Adrian to persuade Pipit. You want it, Dit?”
“Quiet aja, mbah.”
“Mother wait for the good news five more months.”
“Ready, ma'am,” replied Roxas excitedly with a smile on his lips.
“Ya you have joined your friends. Father and mother want to rest first.”
Roxas immediately ended his massage when he heard Cahyadi's words. The man stood up then left the backyard together with Aditya. The two headed towards the terrace where all his friends were gathered. But Aditya steps restrained when he heard the ringing of his phone. Seeing the Goddess who called, the man chose to answer in the living room, while Roxas continued to walk towards the terrace.
On the terrace, Rangga, Rivan and Fay were conversing. There was also Parmin who was two years old above them. Roxas approached and sat down near Parmin. The man looked directly at Roxas.
“From Roxas yo? Bakale mba Pipits. Ganteng yo, pisan artist. Fit karo mba Pipit. Ta dungakno jodo yo (this is Roxas mas huh? Mba Pipit. Good guy, artist too. Same goes with Pipit. I pray for a match).”
“Hah?” again Roxas was stunned to hear Parmin's words.
“Kok dadi metenggen. Aamin ngunu. Dungo slick kuwi (do not even bengong. Aamiin, my. Good prayer then).”
“Ai maneh talking naon? Lieur aing.. cik oruhlah use Indonesian, meh ngarti urangna (Lo say what the hell? Dizziness me. Try using Indonesian, let me understand).”
“Mas Roxas talking opo seh?? I'm not going home (mas Roxas talking about opos eh? I'm not going to go home).”
“Lah sarua, urang ge lieur maneh speaking naon (sama, I am also dizzy you say what).”
“Hahaha.”
Rangga, Rivan and Fay couldn't help but laugh at Roxas and Parmin. Both use their respective regional languages which of course do not understand each other.
“Mas speaking gawe boso sing lay ae. Ojo gawe boso ngunu. Ora mudeng me (masongnya use the language that I understand. Don't use that weird language. Where do you know me).”
“Kumaha maneh we lah, lieur urang mah (again elo, my dizziness).”
“Yo wes, tree ta dungakne smoothly jodone karo mba Pipit. Yen wes rabi, duwe son sing okeh ben rame omah e (yes, anyway I doain mate smoothly mba Pipit. If you're married, make a lot of children let his house rame).”
“Aamiin..” replied Roxas despite not knowing the meaning.
“Then just eat combro, not connect bro. Hahaha.”.
Laughter was heard when Rivan said it. Roxas and Parmin also laughed. Although he did not understand what Parmin said, but it seemed that the man wished him all the best with Pipit, such was Roxas' mind.

After going through a series of long tours, Aditya finally returned home safely. Only one tour promo concert will be held in the city of Bandung this weekend. The man deliberately did not announce his arrival to give a surprise.
“Assalamu’alaikum. mama,” call Aditya.
“Waalaikumsalam. Oh Allah, Adit.. You're going home to say something?”
“Liar surprise.”
Aditya grabs Ida's hand then kisses the back of her hand. The atmosphere of the house looks lonely. Toni and Adrian are definitely at work. The man arrived home at two in the afternoon.
“Who goddess, ma?”
“In room. Meet your wife.”
Aditya's smile expands. He immediately headed for his room and opened the door slowly. He quietly went into the room. Seen the Goddess was cool to daydream in front of the room window. With a step without a sound Aditya approached then hugged the wife from behind.
“Astaghfirullah.”
The goddess was shocked when suddenly a hand hugged her. But once she knew that it was her husband, of course she felt happy. The woman turned her body then hugged Aditya's neck.
“Kok came home not to say?”
“Liar surprise. Kangen, Yang.”
“Sama.”
Aditya held back the nape of the Goddess then buried his lips. The two immediately engaged in a hot kiss, releasing each other a longing that had been held back for almost two months.
“How is my son?” Aditya crouches down in front of the Goddess after their kiss is over.
“Good, papa.”
The hand of the Goddess stroked the head of Aditya who was kissing her stomach. The man then stood up while hugging his wife's waist.
“Yang.. see dedek for a moment. I miss you, can't you?”
A red tinge was imprinted on the Goddess' cheeks. The woman just nodded slowly. Lying if she doesn't miss having sex with her husband. Aditya guides the Goddess towards the bed.
“Wait a minute yes, I clean-up first.”
Aditya quickly headed to the bathroom located outside the room to clean himself. He soon returned with a fresh-looking face. The man crawled up onto the bed. Little kisses were given to his wife before they began their fight.
Goddesses so enjoy their romance, maybe because it has been almost two months not doing it. Aditya was so excited that he exhausted himself. After a long fight, the two lay with their bodies hugging each other.
“You don't have weird cravings right?”
“Ngga. Oh yes, when I bought martabak kang Ewok same bang Ad, I met Ara.”
“Masa? How to?”
“Ish gatel so she becomes a girl, seductive bang Ad. Yes, I have already hot, I said that I am his wife bang Ad, hihihi.”
“Hahaha.. keep him believing?”
“Believe. Keep going deh.”
“Good, deh.”
Aditya kissed the top of his wife's head. But she felt a bit of a strange feeling when Dewi said she was pretending to be Adrian's wife. Ara couldn't possibly believe it just like that if they didn't do the thing that convinced her. But Aditya immediately threw away his suspicions. It was inappropriate to be jealous of his own brother who had loved him so much.
Don't think macem-macem, Dit. Time of jealousy same bang Ad. They're just pretending. Bang Ad very dear to you. There's no way she's a goddamn goddess. Sorry, sorry I was jealous of you.
Aditya's embrace on the Goddess' body grew even tighter. He promised not to leave his wife for too long. The man will spend more time for the Goddess and her future child.
“Love you, De..” whispered Aditya.

**There's a lot I want to say because yesterday there was a question in the comment field. The gini point. This novel although the theme about marrying the husband's brother, but is somewhat different from the others.
Here I do the role of Adit not just be a cameo continues to disappear. The problem in this novel is a conflict of heart, meaning that it occurs before the process of going to bed. Up in bed here will be******* from this story. So if someone says it's 100 eps more but it's still a warm-up and archery chapter, it means I don't understand the concept and plot that I apply.
I understand anyway, because the novel with the same theme will usually go up or down the bed at the beginning of the story from zero. Well if in me different, because the focus of the problem is also a conflict of heart, yes time no nangkep udh no problem until now?
Every writer has a different point of view. So do not force to read the author's novel A in the style of writer B, yes obviously will not connect. If in another novel the process of going to bed is fast, different from here. His bed is******** dr this novel. After that it will end of course after a happy life partner🙏**
