Towards the Destiny of Naura's Love

Chapter 16 Go on a date?

The beginning of Naura's life as a wife is just about to begin.

Day two after returning home. This morning Naura started her activity by cooking breakfast for her husband. Then, continue to wash clothes and also sweep the house and yard.

"Thank God, it's finally over." Naura muttered as she finished sweeping the courtyard of her house. Then he immediately went back inside and instantly woke up Tama who was still asleep.

"Mas awake. We'll have breakfast, yok."

Naura shook Tama's shoulders slowly to try to wake her up. Until the sound of Tama's moaning and not long after, he finally woke up.

"You just prepare the breakfast. I'm gonna take a shower first."

"Yes, my mom."

Naura went straight to the kitchen and arranged the food on the table. He cooked fried rice for breakfast this morning. And he has also prepared his favorite onion sambal, fried fish, fried tempeh, fried tofu and cucumber as breakfast for lunch later.

"May Mas Tama like my cooking."

Naura really hopes Tama will love her cooking as much as yesterday.

"Mas!"

Naura turned towards Tama who stepped towards her.

"What would you like for breakfast? Fried rice or just want to eat rice?" Ask Naura enthusiastically.

"Fried rice."

Although Tama replied with a tone of voice, Naura still directly took the fried rice into the plate for her husband.

"May you like."

Tama just scooped up the fried rice and put it in her mouth, then she started chewing.

"How mas? Tasty…"

Tama briefly swallowed the food in her mouth, then she grabbed a glass of water that Naura had prepared in front of her. He drank for a while, then nodded.

"Thank God." Naura smiled with relief.

They continued their breakfast until it was finished. And when she finished, Tama went back to her room. While Naura continued her work to wash dishes and tidy up the dining table again. After all the work was done, Naura followed Tama back to the room.

"Mas, where are you going?"

As soon as Naura arrived at the room, Tama was already dressed neatly. Right now he is even brushing his hair.

"I want to go with Akmal."

"Where's mas?"

"Jalan walk, play. I haven't played with Akmal in a long time."

"But lunch is coming home, right?"

Naura stepped closer to Tama. He helped Tama button her shirt sleeves.

"Not necessarily."

Tama looked at herself through the mirror reflection in front of her. His appearance looks as if he was going on a date, not as if he was going to meet his best friend Akmal.

"Take my bag!"

Tama pointed towards her small sandang bag that was hung on the wall. Naura rushed to get the bag and gave it to her husband.

"I might go home before Magrib. So don't wait for me to have lunch."

"Yes, um."

Naura's face looked sad. Then she was about to greet her husband, but before Naura's hand could reach her husband's hand for salami, her husband had already stepped out of the room. Naura followed immediately.

"Mas!"

Tama stopped her steps that had arrived at the door and was about to open the door.

Naura extended her hand towards Tama who instead responded with an annoyed grunt.

"No need ah, lebay."

Tama opened the door and just left, leaving Naura who was silent to look at Tama's words that rejected her desire to shake hands.

Mas Tama was angry when I did not want to shake hands with another man who was clearly not my mahrom. But, he himself refused to accept my hand with the excuse of lebay.

"But I'm not going to give up that fast. I will keep trying to melt your heart, my husband." His words are full of determination.

Currently Tama is traveling with his friend to the waterfall attractions that are not far from their village. He's really having fun. Tama is not just with Akmal. They were accompanied by two girls who were their classmates when they were in college.

"Loe is evil, Tama. Marriage is not ngundang." Chirps of a girl who looks fashionable and very beautiful.

"Sory, Mel. I got married because I was forced and very suddenly."

Akmal just smiled in response to Tama's words. As a friend, Akmal knows for sure about Tama no matter how small.

"Don't you also want to get married, Mel?" This time Akmal asked.

"Yes, that's it. I've waited long enough for Tama to apply. Uh even arrived to hear he was married."

"Sorry Mel's. I really can't refuse this match."

Akmal began to be lazy to see the next scene that he could have guessed. He also invited Lastri friends Imel to stay away from the two strange humans.

"Did Tama really not love his wife?" Lastri asked as she stepped up to follow Akmal.

"That's how."

"Why men are always selfish. If you don't like it, say you don't like dong."

"Not all men are like that, Lastri."

"I knew. But, most men are plan like Tama. It's obvious he doesn't like his wife, why he wants to be forced to marry."

Akmal just smiled in response to Lastri's piety.

"As a man, Tama should be able to be more assertive and dare to refuse an arranged marriage if she does not like it."

"Women should also be able to reject dong, if they don't like." Akmal Imbuh.

"Different, Akmal."

"What difference. After all I know his wife Tama also actually does not like their matchmaking. Well why didn't he just refuse from the start."

"The woman followed her heart more. The woman is often very obedient especially to her parents. How could they possibly defy the advice of both parents who might look happy if they were to obey the wishes of both parents."

"The man belonged to his mother, Lastri. Don't forget that. So, no matter how hard a man tries to argue with his mother, they won't win." Akmal protested in disagreement with Lastri's opinion of men.

"You are right, the man belongs to his mother and must obey his mother..."

Lastri stopped his words. Then he stared intently at Akmal's two eyes.

"If indeed you men finally succumb and decide to obey the wishes of your mother, then the right action for you to do should be, then, you learn to accept and try to give your heart to the woman chosen by your mother." Connect Lastri.

"It's not even hurting a woman by ignoring them and even making love to another woman silently like your best friend." Lastri pointed towards Tama and Imel who were talking in the tree and witnessed by the waterfall and wind.

Akmal fell silent. He felt that what Lastri said this time was true. But, what can I do. Even though he said that to Tama, still Tama would not care. Because Akmal knows how hard Adi Tama's heart is.

"Wouldn't my mother be a woman. So, I think hurting a woman's heart is like hurting our mother's heart. Aye, right?" Ask Lastri to Akmal.

Only a smile was seen in Akmal's lips in response to Pastri's question.
