The sound of the kitchen knife chattering rang out loud in the apartment kitchen. Alenna did it. Since fifteen minutes ago Alenna was busy making breakfast for Rangga. Initially Alenna wanted to be helped by Rangga, but soon prevented. Alenna told Rangga to stay calm on the prayer mat, begging for forgiveness after the duha worship was done.

"The burning eggplant is ready. Stay sambal nut. Yaps. Add this, that, and .. my cup of love. Heem. After eating this surely Mas Rangga will not dare to cheat again." Alenna muttered alone as she gave peanut sauce.

Fifteen minutes later, the breakfast menu was ready. Alenna set it on the dining table. Warm white rice, a plate of fried fish pindang flour, eggplant baked peanut sauce, and two glasses of warm tea.

Alenna's steps swung towards the room. Alenna saw her husband still dhikr. The closer Alenna's footsteps were, the more clearly Istighfar Rangga read.

Hopefully after this you will not be caliph anymore, Mas. The same prayer for me too. Aamiins. Inner Alenna.

"Mas Rangga," call Alenna.

"Yes, Honey. Wait a minute, I fold the alphabet first. Change clothes and yes," Rangga's permission.

"I'll get you a change of clothes first, Mas."

Alenna was quick to prepare a green t-shirt toska, in line with the negligee she wore that morning. After Rangga changed clothes, Alenna lovingly took rice and side dishes, then accompanied Rangga to breakfast.

"Teronge paste pol. Tenan tenan!" puji Rangga's.

"Alhamdulillaah if Mas Rangga likes it. I will often masakin who like this as long as Mas Rangga does not turn into a crocodile of love" said Alenna.

Rangga auto chokes due to the nickname of the embedded crocodile. The spicy eggplant sauce further aggravates the discomfort in the throat. Uhuk-uhuk!

Alenna quickly thrust a glass of water and rubbed Rangga's back.

"Drink first, Mom. Slowly, yeah. Em, here a minute. I wipe first, that's the mess in the mouth. Excuse me, my mother." Alenna was attentive.

Rangga's heart was touched. Rangga fell silent and let Alenna wipe her mouth that was troubled by the action of sambal.

"Darling, once again I'm sorry. I am truly sorry to have dared to wish your love," said sincerely Rangga.

"God willing I forgive you, Mom. Take care again, yes. Let our love bond be kept awake."

The sincere look in Alenna's eyes made Rangga feel even more guilty. Staring at the face of Alenna's stupid woody face with a friendly, to make it a little misbehavior.

"Mas Rangga tumbennya concerned about me like that, anyway. My beauty is fading, isn't it?"

"No. The more beautiful, the more beautiful your heart is. Here sit the same deck Mas!"

She shifted her chair. Alenna happily complied with Rangga's request.

"Open your mouth. Mas bribe. Aaaa ...."

That morning Alenna was speechless. His heart was filled with gratitude for being able to get back close to his beloved husband. Bribe by mouth Alenna received. Also increased his love for Rangga.

"Atutuu, my wife why are you crying? Cup-cup, Honey. Forgive your husband for his many mistakes, yes."

Rangga put down his plate, then embraced Alenna.

"Mas Rangga don't cheat anymore, yeah. I really love Mas Rangga. Hoping to also age together," said softly Alenna in between sobs.

Alenna's sobs hit Rangga's heart. It is more realized that it is not appropriate for infidelity to be reciprocated with infidelity as well. Andin's presence in his life is a test. Although Rangga was tempted, it does not mean that the test has failed completely. The real test is his love affair with Alenna. A bond of halal love that must be maintained.

"God willing, I will be more introspective. No more temptation. Trust each other again, dear."

"God willing, Mas. I love you."

"Darling, I'm ora iso speaking English. Lope yu tepae. I'm your trisno!" Rangga speaking Java.

Hearing that Alenna immediately crumpled. Every time Alenna said the English word, Rangga always replied with a Javanese chat.

"Iyo wes iyow. Let's eat again, Mommy. Replace me who bribe ya. Open his mouth wide. The helicopter is coming. Aaaa ...."

The romance of Alenna-Rangga continued until noon. Alenna deliberately did not go to the office to be able to spend all day with Rangga. Office affairs must have been entrusted entirely to Satria.

"Honey, to the shophouse, yuk!" bring Rangga after dhuhur.

"No need to ah. I want to spend all day with Mas Rangga."

"Judek. We make jamu together. So next week's launch isn't it the watch?" Rangga was enthusiastic when discussing his watch business.

"God willing. But the ad model I just made the agreement the day after tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be over, Mom." Alenna encouraged Rangga.

"Women or men?" ask Rangga.

"Female. Satria's friend from Solo."

"That's all? No additional models?" There is something that Rangga is going to pursue.

Alenna caught the girly of the husband. Quickly singled out a smile to Rangga, then pinch his stomach squash.

"Say if Mas Rangga wants to be the advertising model. Aye right? Hayo-hayo!"

"The client is that. But how could you possibly ngizinin me. Especially the female opponent. Satria again. Definitely beautiful. What if I am tempted again? How about cheating again? Then you come again with the same knife broom, no .... Hm."

Alenna smothered Rangga's mouth. Alenna was very anxious to hear a long sentence that reminded her of a mistake that had just been forgiven.

"Yes, my mom. And now what does Mas Rangga want?" Alenna asked in a soothing, subtle tone.

"The demand is not only female advertising models, because this herbal medicine can also be consumed by men. What if the additional model is Satria? Let it not be long." Rangga Idea.

Alenna's mind went off. Remembering the face of Satria's friend who will be a model of advertising jamu. Quickly matched with Satria's stature.

"Kukiran Satria fits the female model as well. Okay deh. I concur. Bantuin told Satria yes, Mas."

"Jaudah. Tomorrow I'll say. Now, Mas Rangga please shake my hand!" Alenna's orders.

Although he did not understand, Rangga obeyed Alenna's will. Rangga's right hand shook Alenna's hand.

"From now on we partner. My company and Mas Rangga's watch business from this moment on are bound by cooperation. Labels and packaging and production costs will be borne by the company. The results sharing system is in place. Take it easy, in this case Mas Rangga remains the owner. Hows it? Is Rangga ready?"

Rangga's mind was bright. Rangga began to understand Alenna's mind path.

"This is how good it is to have a business wife. Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahim. Agree!"

The look on Alenna's face that originally showed the authority of a leader, instantly turned spoiled. Alenna hugged Rangga tightly.

"I still feel lucky to be your wife, Mom."

"Thank you, honey. I'm sorry about yesterday, huh?"

"Udah ah, Mas. Don't discuss it again. Let's make some jamu. I'm willing to chip through the glass."

"Where is the tasting taster. That's called doyan!"

Be, until at two o'clock in the afternoon Alenna and Rangga make jamu while joking and making out in the kitchen of their apartment. Alenna really fulfilled her words. Herbal chips made by Rangga up to eleven in number.

"When I drink herbal medicine, how suddenly I get dizzy huh, Mas?"

"Well? How can?"

"He'em. I'm really dizzy, Mas. Because Mas Rangga made his watch with love. Put a frown on the head. I seem to have overdosed on Mas Rangga's love." Alenna.

"You are that, yes. Kirain's really dizzy."

The laughter continues to color. Then Rangga asked Alenna to sit on the sofa, while he took something in the room.

"Mas Rangga would like to give me a surprise, anyway?" alenna asked upon Rangga's return.

Rangga with his ultimate smile quickly sat next to Alenna. In Rangga's hand there is a medium-sized black crackle containing something that is still kept secret.

"This is for you. Accept it," said softly Rangga.

Alenna received the black crackle package that Rangga gave her. Open it slowly, then peek inside. Red, blue, and all in a pile of sheets.

"Is-this for me?" alenna asked as if she could not believe what she had received.

"Yes, Honey. The number may be nothing compared to the throne of an Alenna. But you are still my wife, and my duty is to support you."

The package of black crackle contains sheets of money in the amount of millions. Rangga collected the money from the results of managing the shoe shop. Rangga knows very well that Alenna is rich, but Rangga will never forget his obligations. Although not how much, Rangga will still support Alenna from the results of his halal work.

"Mas Rangga so sweet. But ... Why not just make an ATM, Mas?"

"Hehehe. I want it to be different. Let it be more effective." The little rangga quibbled. Actually, Rangga will only be taught how to make ATMs at the bank next week by his men. Hoho. "Why next month the shape of an ATM card, deh!" Rangga.

"No-no. I guess that's okay too, though. I accept, yes Mas. Um, can I buy you a red-light lipstick?"

"May, but wear it in front of me. Do not try to wear it in public especially in front of Satria!"

"Ready, Mas Rangga Darling!"

And ... once again the bond of love gets harder. Alenna-Rangga's love is poured out in an unexpected form. Alenna who had an affair with Satria, and Rangga who had followed in the footsteps of their cheating. The conversion that has culminated in an apology has been a lesson. Not to be forgotten, but used as a reminder whip so that mistakes are no longer repeated.

Wh-tok-tok! Rangga knocked on the bathroom door.

"Darling, the bathroom door was locked? What are you doing again?" ask Rangga.

"Just a second, Mom."

Rangga patiently waited while occasionally yawning. Glimpsed wall clock that still shows at three in the morning.

Chequek!

The sound of the door opening made Rangga twist his body. He saw Alenna coming out of the bathroom with a radiant face. Out of habit, Alenna actually hugged Rangga tightly. Satisfied in her embrace, Alenna immediately showed a small object in her hand.

"Two red lines" said Alenna, showing a test pack.

Rangga's face instantly brightened. Just as bright as the expression Alenna showed.

"Alhamdulillaahafemore. Thank you, O God. Servants really feel like a man this time," said Rangga gratitude then shower Alenna with a peppered kiss.

"Mas Rangga happy?"

"Of course happy. Take time between your hours, yes. I went to the obstetrician."

"Yes, Mum."

Alenna's pregnancy was good news that morning. Rangga who had been expecting the presence of the baby was really happy. Alenna was given hugs and kisses. Makes Alenna more grateful for the presence of the prospective baby.

Thank God I am pregnant. In this way, Mas Rangga would no longer be able to turn away. May my bond of love no longer stretch because of forbidden feelings. Aamiins. Inner Alenna, pray.
