Arya stared at Lea's still-sleeping face in her arms. The wife's calm face like this made her look very beautiful.
Sometimes, Arya wonders what made her waste such a near-perfect woman as the wife. The faithful accompany her in every step she always takes, which convinces Arya when she doubts something.
Lea groaned softly in her sleep while writhing, it made the blanket covering her body sag. Arya smiled, then on a whim she approached the wife and kissed her open shoulder.
Apparently, it made Lea wake up, and immediately the woman's face reddened when her gaze met the husband's gaze.
"Am I interrupting?" arya asked while tidying up the strands of hair that disturbed Lea's pretty face.
"No," Lea replied in a hoarse voice. "What time is it?"
"It's still 4." Arya replied while pulling the wife, until it was getting closer to her body. "Let's go back to sleep, you must be tired."
Lea's face met again to hear what Arya said, and she must admit, she was still tired after a long night with her husband.
"Aren't you asleep or awake?" lea asked while pushing her body into the body of the husband, looking for the warmth that had once been lost.
"I can't sleep" replied Arya who made his wife's forehead immediately wrinkled.
"Why?" lea was confused.
"Maybe I'm too happy, so I can't sleep" said Arya, who also chuckled at her.
"I'm also happy, so I can sleep well."
Lea wrapped her tiny arms around her husband's waist. "You also have to sleep, it's not good if you don't sleep all night."
"Hem." Arya just muttered with a smile, then she kissed the wife's forehead.
Slowly Lea closed her eyes, and so did Arya.
After a long time, they can finally feel each other's warmth that was lost.
After the storm hit, finally the time to start everything from the beginning arrived. Neither Arya nor Lea are committed, there will be no more mistakes in common.

"Good morning!"
Arya greeted with a smile as her two children walked out of the room. "You guys sleep well?"
"Yes, Papa," Jihan replied. "Where's mom?" ask the girl because she didn't see her in the kitchen. In fact, in the morning, usually the one who welcomes with a smile is his mother.
"Mama's still asleep, honey," Arya replied. "This morning Papa will prepare breakfast for you."
"Why is mom still sleeping, Pa? Is mama sick?" ask Darrel worriedly.
Arya immediately boasted a smile seeing the look of Darrel's anxious-looking eyes, making Arya realize, her son was already big. Maybe, Darrel will be looking after Lea soon.
"No, Mama's just still sleepy she said because last night she slept late." Arya keeps it while preparing two milks for Darrel and Jihan, and of course she's different milks.
"Why is mom sleeping late, Papa?" jihan asked again curiously, which made Arya instantly grimace.
What does he have to answer?
It was impossible for him to tell me that last night they were working out sweaty and tiring to celebrate the wedding day.
Arya glanced at Bibi, hoping that the maid would give her a little help in answering Jihan's question. However, Bibi just smiles herself, making Arya upset.
"Papa, didn't you get to sleep last night? Is mom working?" ask Jihan again.
"It's impossible to work, Jihan," said Darrel. "Last night Papa's mom got married, time to work?"
"Yes so," murmured Arya. "Now you're drinking milk, yeah! Soon breakfast is ready" Arya said, trying to shift the conversation.
The longer, the youngest daughter asked more and more questions, and she would continue to ask until she got a satisfactory answer even though the question had been answered correctly.
"Do you want me to make some tea, honey?" ask Arya warmly.
"Byeah" Lea replied. "Why am I not built?"
Lea helps Arya prepare breakfast, while Bibi is ordered to do other work only.
"You have a good night's sleep" Arya replied. "So I don't want to bother."
"Nanyain's children?" lea asked half a whisper.
Arya glanced at her children at a glance, then nodded with a faint smile. "What do you need to answer?"
"Yes, I said my mama was bad luck because she slept too late." Arya looked at the face of the wife who again met red. "Why?" arya asked with a big smile.
He knew what his wife had in mind.
"It's okay" Lea replied. "It's just weird .. I'm bad luck" Lea said.
"Not at all," chuckled Aryan.
Darrel watched his parents, and the sight this morning made Darrel feel very happy. After all this time, Darrel finally got to see them friendly again, in the old house, which means now their family will start all over again.
Although he was a child, Darrel knew what his parents were going through. Moreover, he witnessed for himself how the beginning of a relationship that had been fine, suddenly cracked, then destroyed. But at least now Darrel again witnessed, how the relationship of his parents intact back.
"It's Papa's breakfast" Lea said as she served breakfast to the two children.
"Papa master cook now, Mama," Jihan said with a giggle. "Dihan likes Papa's cooking."
"Oh yeah, which is better Mama's cooking?" ask Lea.
"Enak all," Jihan replied with a big smile.
"Times?" goda Arya sits at the side of his wife.
"Yes, Papa." Jihan guarded confidently, making both her parents chuckle.
"Thank you, baby," said Arya. "We're glad you like our cooking."
"But Papa's fried chicken is not good" said Jihan who immediately made Arya's smile disappear, while Lea immediately laughed. "It feels weird on Jihan's tongue, Papa."
"Yes, right," Darrel said.
"Later Papa studied again," said Arya resigned.
"Can you, Papa?" ask Jihan.
"Can dong," Arya answered confidently. "Conquering Mama's heart can, time conquers fish can not?"
Arya glanced at the wife, she blinked her eyes, making her blush.
He pulled Lea's hand, then kissed her warmly. "Mas, not in front of the kids!" whispered Lea with a face that was already red.
"I just wanted to say thank you, honey." Arya looked at Lea lovingly. "Thank you for being willing to start another new beginning with me."
"I also thank you for your struggle" Lea said. "I'm sorry you waited so long."
Arya shook her head then said, "In precisely that long time, I learned a lot."
"Me too" Lea replied. "I learned that you have changed."
"Because I love you."
