During Reva's massage, I rested my body on the bed. I put a headset in my ear to listen to music. Deliberately with a slow volume to know when Reva returns to the room.
Half an hour later, the door was pushed. I got out of bed and took off the headset when I saw Reva coming in. "His order?"
He just nodded his head, picked up a change of clothes, then went into the bathroom. I closed my eyes trying to be patient with his attitude. Fifteen minutes in the bathroom, Reva's out. As she combed her hair in front of the mirror, I approached and hugged her from behind.
"Don't shut me up!" Whisper in his ear.
Our eyes met in the mirror. I turned Reva's body around to get us face to face. "We're going home now, okay?" ask me as gently as possible.
"Yes" he answered.
"Your motorbike is here first."
"But-"
"Tomorrow with me to college. I'll pick you up."
Honestly, I don't trust Reva completely. She was afraid she would turn away from me. Thank goodness he no longer denied me.
Day starts at dusk. I asked Reva to get ready to go home to Dad. We also paid a farewell to Mother-in-law.

Upon arrival at home, Father and Mother were sitting on the porch of the house. We also say hello.
"Where are you guys from? I want Magrib to come home," asked Mother after answering our greetings.
I felt bad because her voice sounded so cynical. Especially when I say the second sentence. Kulrikik Reva with the tail of the eye.
"From my father's house, Bun. Reva took some files there."
"Ooh," replied Mom briefly.
"All the sequencing again, let's make it better to fall yesterday," I added.
"Is it okay, son?" ask Dad.
"Alhamdulillah has been quiet, Dad," I replied.
I'm glad to see Dad paying attention to Reva. At least it can comfort his heart after seeing the attitude of Mother. Can only hope that one day Mother can receive Reva completely.
I drove Reva into the room. I wanted to hug him, but soon Magrib. I took a shower and went to the mosque.

After dinner, we gathered in the living room. I turned on the TV. The show features seven of the funniest babies.
My lips curl a smile when I see a cute baby. Really makes you anxious. Will we one day be blessed with a child?
Kulirik Reva who patted his forehead. "Why?" my whiskey.
"Huh?" He looks nervous.
"Think what?" ask again.
"Ng-w."
"You haven't had a child?" ask Mother suddenly.
Reva smiled awkwardly. I refrained from being provoked by Mother's words.
"Bun, why are you talking about that?" reprove Dad.
"Yes ... Mother, it's just nanya. Naturally, Mother also wants to have grandchildren."
"They just got married. Let's get to know each other first. Dating after marriage is the term."
Reva smiled shyly at Dad's words. I feel lucky to have a father. Always try to understand the state of the child and his daughter-in-law.
Not long Adzan Isya reverberated. Reva came to the room to pray. My father and I went to the mosque on a motorcycle.
After praying for our parents and the happiness of our household, I was stunned. Recollecting our conversation. Can I wish I had a baby now?
I let out a breath. It felt too selfish to ask Reva for that. I'll be patient waiting until he's done taking care of the thesis. Yes, Reva also deserves to feel the beauty of graduation before having children.
