The Angel of Wounds

Chapter 23

The atmosphere is so warm in the Suryanata family dining room. Tonight the full family members surround the dining table. Diana and Hasna prepared the meal on their husband's plate, then joined for dinner together.

"Oh yes Rama, have you filed your marriage file? Your marriage hasn't been registered on civil records." Said Mr. Andi.

"Yet, Pa. Rama will take care of it."

Mr. Andi nodded at his son's reply.

"Oh yes, while in Japan you guys are fine right? Mama was worried when you didn't give her the news and your number was hard to call." Miss Diana's.

"We're fine, Ma. We just need privacy." Answer Rama accordingly.

"Yes, I hope there will be good news." Diana looked towards Hasna.

Rama took some water to wet his throat.

"May you get pregnant soon, baby." Keep him on again.

Uhuk

The new drink drained the esophagus, eventually forced back up. The throat that should have been relieved now felt like it was burning.

Hasna's reflex rubbed her husband's back gently sitting next to her. Rama who coughed immediately turned to his wife.

The two pairs of beads locked together. Just this time they touched, albeit unintentionally.

"Ehem.we're still here, brother, we're looking so hard." Nayla Goda. You little girl.

The two of them shifted their eyes for a moment. Awkward, that's how they feel. Seen once the cheeks of the veiled woman blushed.

"Udah-alah, continued eating. Don't take Nayla." Mr. Andi tried to melt the awkwardness between his son and daughter-in-law.

Nayla was holding back her laughter, seen from her shoulders moving up and down. Then dinner resumed.

After that they talked in the middle room. It seems Nayla was so enthusiastic about opening the parcel given by her sister-in-law.

His eyes sparkled when he saw the contents of the parcel. A blue velvet box with a necklace inside. Very pretty necklace with half heart shaped pendant.

"Huwa's...It's so pretty." Scream all these girls.

"Thank you, Ma'am." Then the girl slammed into Hasna's arms.

Hasna forced a smile to respond to the words of her sister-in-law. Because she did not know about the parcel for her husband's family.

"Eh..if you look around, it looks like this is a couple necklace. Must have had this part of the necklace, too." Terka Nayla's.

Hasna did not answer, only the smile she gave.

"See dong, Ma'am. Let's take a photo together. I can post it on Ig. Let my followers know that I have a necklace as beautiful as this, the same couple mbak Hasna." Her chattering.

"It seems like it's too much." Refuse Hasna subtly.

Because he himself is confused if asked to show the other pendant. Because he clearly doesn't have it.

"It's okay, Mother." Rajuk Nayla's.

"Nay, don't force Hasna. Hasna's part is hijab, it's inappropriate to take pictures showing the necklace pendant wrapped around her neck." Sahut Rama's.

It seemed like Rama's words just sounded like an ultimatum. As if keeping the wife so as not to be a foreign eye meal.

"Ah, Brother Rama is not cool. Tell me if brother Rama is jealous, just in case there are followers guys who see." Nayla Ledek.

Of jealousy? It seems like that sentence is too much. Not jealous, precisely so that no one knows if the locket is special only for Nayla. As for Hasna, she had only just learned the contents of the parcel.

Rama who listened to his brother's babble just silently did not respond. Both of his parents were just listening to their conversation.

"Oh, son, Mama almost forgot. What if you continue with the reception plan that was delayed at that time? Let there be memorable moments for the rest of your life. You haven't bought a wedding ring, have you?" Said Diana.

Rama immediately turned to Hasna, who happened to be looking at him. Both of them were silent, no one commented at all. Mr. Andi watched the two take turns. I don't know what the middle-aged man was thinking.

"You know, I'm glad I saw it. Just saying yes is hard." Sambar Nayla's.

Miss Diana patted the princess sitting next to her, and shook her head slowly. Nayla who understood the situation, immediately closed her mouth tightly. Especially after accidentally seeing the gaze of the brother who was so sharp.

"Please delay first ma. Rama's been busy." Refuse smooth.

He did not want his parents to be disappointed if he said what he had in mind at this time. Cancel it. It would hurt both of his parents.

Miss Diana only inhaled a breath with all her chest hearing the answer her son gave her. Then he turned to look at his daughter-in-law.

"If according to Hasna, how?"

Hasna fell silent, looking for the best answer so as not to disappoint such a kind in-law to her. But it did not ignite her husband's emotions either.

"If Hasna, follow what Rama said. Hasna sure, Rama must know the best for now."

Actually, the woman's heart rumbled to hold back the mixed feeling in her heart. Wedding, ring and reception. Isn't that a very natural thing for married couples. But I don't know for his marriage to Rama. Because only he expects this marriage to last.

Hasna herself also realized, If both herself and Rama, do not wear a wedding ring. There was not even a touch between the two. When Ijab kabul time, he still clasped tightly grips grandfather's hand. Without ever kissing her husband's hand after the contract.

As for Rama, the man had never even thought of having a wedding reception with Hasna. She wanted to hide her marriage. Not without reason, he just does not want if when his marriage status is known, instead he gets a similar betrayal.

Ms Diana did not comment after hearing the answers. Nor do they want to be urgent.

"Ehem... Rama, Hasna, you better stay here tonight. It's also too late at night, especially you also need a lot of rest after the trip away from Japan yesterday." Said mr. Andi.

Apparently he was trying to melt the atmosphere that seemed tense just now.

"Yes, you rest then." Tukas Miss Diana.

After no more chat, they decided to go into their rooms.

Rama glanced at Hasna who looked a little confused. But the woman did not say a word. His position was still standing in the bathroom doorway, as if in doubt would go in there.

Doubtful, Hasna approached Rama who was playing his phone on the sofa near the window. Rama averted his gaze, when he realized Hasna had been standing before him.

"Sorry, Mr. Rama. Does Nayla have a long nightgown?"

Unresponsive, Rama refocused on his phone screen. Hasna exhaled slowly seeing the reaction the husband showed.

Finally, the woman decided to ask Nayla. Shortly thereafter, he returned with Nayla's long-sleeved pajama suit.

Soon she changed her clothes. There is also no way he can be comfortable if he has to sleep using a robe.

She came out of the bathroom in pajamas borrowed from Nayla. Do not forget he closed the long pashmina on his head, just tie it so that he is comfortable during sleep later.

Rama was a little surprised to see the appearance of his wife. Because they will sleep, but why is the woman still wearing a hijab on her head?

The man's tail follows the wife's movements. The woman positioned herself on the side of the bed. Looks like he'll be resting soon.

Rama immediately went into the bathroom to clean himself up. After that change his clothes, only wearing short-sleeved shirts and also knee-length shorts.

Rama turned off the headlights and went to the bed, and occupied the opposite side of Hasna.

Hasna was a little surprised, when there was movement on the bed. The woman began to sleep. He looked behind his back, and it was Rama.

The woman's heart was pounding, considering that only this time they slept in the same bed.
