Ammar went down and approached Yusuf and Anita who were chatting with Mang Jaja in the living room. Upon seeing Ammar's arrival, the three men immediately stopped talking.
“Eh, why haven't you slept?” Ask Anita.
“Someone I want to talk to Papa, Ma.” Ammar answered and fell down beside Joseph.
“Then, excuse me. Want to go back to guard post.” Said Mang Jaja.
“Oh, yes, Mang. Please.” Yusuf Reply.
Mang Jaja hurried to leave Joseph and his son and wife.
“Jihan is asleep?” Anita asked back.
“Tadi sih no, Ma.”
“Nih, take it!” Joseph suddenly gave him two magic cards which he confiscated from Ammar, though his son had not asked for them.
Ammar looked at the Papa while receiving the two cards thrust into his presence.
“Papa know you must want to ask that, right? As promised, Papa give it back. But Papa wishes you were more frugal and used the cards as well as possible.” Yusuf.
“Good, Pa.”
“And remember, Son. As a husband, you have to give a living to your wife. Jihan is entitled to what you got.” Anita.
“Iya, Ma.”
“Mar, Papa and Mama can't interfere in your household, but we hope you can best serve your role as priest and head of the household. Appreciate and love your wife, just as you cherish and love Mama. Treat her well, don't hurt her heart.” Anita advised her son.
Ammar gulped, he felt awkward hearing the advice of the mother, because during marriage he always treated Jihan badly.
“You're lucky to have a wife like Jihan. She's a future angel from heaven, Mar.” Connect Anita.
Again Ammar did not reply to his words, he just forced a smile on his lips.
“Mar, the best jeweler in the world, is the wife of Sholeha. And you got it. Be a good priest, a responsible husband and someday a great father.” Yusuf.
“Iya, Pa.” Ammar replied awkwardly.
“Don't do it! Look out if Mama knows you're hurting Jihan, especially because of other women. Mama will never forgive you.” Threaten Anita.
“Iya, Mama.” Ammar hugged Anita to ease her nervousness.
“Remember yes, Mar. Jihan was his parents' favorite daughter. They have given it to you, entrusting you to protect and care for their children. Do not hurt his feelings, because there is not a single parent in this world who wants his child hurt. You'll know that feeling if you become a parent later.” Yusuf.
Ammar nodded only twice. Feeling slapped by the papa's telling. What if they knew what he had done to a woman as good as Jihan?
He suddenly remembered something and asked Anita.
“Hemmm, Mom. Why didn't Mama ever tell me that Jihan and I were in school?”
Anita and Joseph looked at each other, not expecting the son to ask that question.
“You remember, baby?” Anita asked back.
Ammar shakes. “Not yet. But I found a picture of me, Jihan and my friends and teachers. When I asked Jihan, she said we were good enough friends. Why didn't Mom and Dad ever say?”
“Mama wanted to say something, but you said you didn't want to hear anything about Jihan, so Mama didn't say it. You remember?”
This time Ammar nodded, and he remembered that he had forbidden his mother from saying anything about Jihan.
“Now I know, although I still can't remember anything.” Ammar said with a sad face.
“Patience, yes, dear. Slowly your memory will come back. But you don't force yourself to remember.” Said Anita. And Ammar nodded again.
“You better rest now! Don't mind too much, it's not good for your health.” Continued Yusuf.
“Iya, Pa.”

After talking and listening to advice from his parents, Ammar returned to his room. He was stunned as he looked at Jihan who had fallen asleep curled up on the sofa. Anyone knows it must be very uncomfortable to sleep on that narrow sofa, especially in a state that is not feeling well.
I don't know what Ammar was thinking so he slowly lifted Jihan's body and moved the woman onto the bed and covered her. Ammar also had time to put the back of his hand on Jihan's forehead to check the woman's body temperature, and he was relieved that Jihan no longer had a fever.
“I'm sorry. Good night.” Said Ammar and immediately went up and laid his body on the sofa.
But it is not young for Ammar to fall asleep, even though the time has shown at eleven o'clock at night. He was still thinking about all of Miranda's lies and trying to digest each of these events.
Ammar looked back at Jihan's calm face. “Is it true I ever promised to keep and protect you?”
Ammar was really dizzy with everything that happened, in one time he got a reality that was so surprising.
Ammar's eyes also felt sore because drowsiness began to attack him. The handsome-faced man finally fell asleep in curiosity.

As usual, Jihan awoke from her deep sleep to perform the evening prayer and she was a little surprised to find herself already in bed.
“Why can I be here?” Jihan asked confusedly, she remembered she had slept on the sofa.
Jihan immediately turned her head towards the sofa and it appeared that Ammar was asleep in a very uncomfortable position.
“Mas Ammar? Did he move me?” Jihan try guessing.
Jihan felt unbearable to see Ammar sleeping on the sofa, she moved and stepped closer to her husband.
“Mas! Mas wake!” Jihan shook Ammar's shoulders, and the man began to wake up.
Ammar narrowed his eyes and looked at Jihan in confusion. “What's up?”
“Mas just move to mattress! Later Mas body hurts when sleeping on the sofa.” Pinta Jihan's.
“Nothing! I'm here!” Reply to Ammar and close your eyes again.
“Mas, don't be stubborn, dong! I feel guilty if Mas sleeps on the sofa like this, while I feel good sleeping on his bed Mas.”
“So if I sleep in bed, where do you sleep?”
“I'm the only one sleeping on the sofa.”
Ammar shook his head with his eyes closed. “No! Your body can also hurt if you sleep on the sofa, I do not want to be considered a man does not have the feeling of letting a woman sleep on the sofa while I feel good to sleep on the mattress.”
Jihan frowned astonished at Ammar's attitude. “But this is my room. Masa Mas who sleeps on the sofa?”
Ammar opened his eyes and looked at Jihan. “This is it! Let's be fair, we both sleep in bed. How?”
Jihan was astonished, she did not expect Ammar would spark the idea.
“I won't fuck around! You take it easy!” Ammar continued quickly. He knew what was on Jihan's mind.
“But, Mas ...” Jihan is still doubtful.
“Ya already if you don't want.” Ammar closed his eyes again. “I sleep here only!”
Jihan exhaled, there was no other choice. If he doesn't budge, the matter won't be resolved.
“Good. But Mas do not break the promise, yes?”
Ammar opened his eyes and moved. “Iya. So scared, anyway?”
Jihan was glued to her place, watching Ammar move onto the bed while nagging himself.
“If I mess with you why? She's my wife. Is there a ban on me touching him?”
“Mas!” Reprove Jihan for hearing Ammar's ravings.
“What?” Sahut Ammar lazy. “You protest again? It's late, sleep-sleep!”
Jihan fell silent while shaking her head. While Ammar had laid his body on a soft mattress.
“Why don't you sleep?” Cecar Ammar when he realized Jihan was still glued to her place.
“I want to Pray first, Mas.”
Ammar immediately closed his eyes without replying to Jihan.
After taking the wudu, Jihan immediately performed tahajud prayers. Quietly Ammar opened his eyes and looked at Jihan who was worshipping.
His heart was suddenly caught off guard by the sight of the Salat's wife while he was sleeping, but the whisper of the devil turned out to be greater. Ammar put aside his embarrassment and went back to sleep.
Doubtful Jihan went up to the bed after the prayer, she put a roll between herself and Ammar, then prepared to return to the dreamland.
