"Well, what's wrong with you, Ki?" nyai Susi asked Saskia who was trying to stop her crying.
"Eh, Nyai Ma'am. It's okay, Mom. Saskia just stumbled on the road. His legs were a little sprained, so it was crying," he said honestly. Yes, previously he also fell in front of the princess dormitory because it was so unfocused, but not to dislocate as well. He reasoned, so that Nyai ma'am did not suspect the real reason he was crying.
"Innalilahp. But not to the wound, right?" ms. Nyai also seems to care and worry about Saskia.
"No, Ma." Saskia smiled and seemed to show herself fine. Though his heart he was disappointed and full of revenge on Tiara.
"alright. Sorry, disturbed your rest. I'm here to bring Tiara's clothes. Thank you for sharing Tiara so well all this time."
Lili, and Anisa who heard the words of Bu Nyai looked surprised and glanced at Saskia with a face that was not conditioned.
"Oh yes. I'll just bring some clothes. The rest, will be brought alone by Tiara. Hehe. Tiara is not feeling well. If Joseph had brought here, it would not have been possible," Nyai's mother's words just now pierced into Saskia's heart.
"Y-yes, Mom. Do we need to help carry Tiara's belongings?" tawar Anise.
"That's all, son. Thanks!" finally they helped Nyai to bring all the Tiara stuff. So did Saskia, with a heavy heart he helped Nyai's mother, although in fact his heart was very wounded.
"Alhamdulillah. My daughter-in-law's stuff wasn't too much. Thank you" said Nyai relieved when all Tiara's belongings were helped by Tiara's roommate to the house.
"Yes ma'am, you're welcome. Then, we'll excuse you." said Saskia accompanied by the others. They also salaman with ta'dzim at Nyai's mother, then returned to the princess dormitory.
"Is Tiara not feeling well because of it.." raced Anisa. Lili patted the shoulder of her room.
"Hey, inget.." whispered Lili softly.
"Father. I expected it too. Perhaps true, Joseph was indeed more worthy with Tiara," said Saskia. Anisa and Lili are not feeling well.
"Well, Tea. Don't worry about it donggg! Em, isn't it A Vishnu like Teteh yaa long time ago?" ask Lili carefully.
"Hem, that's it." answered Saskia briefly.
"Is it better to accept Vishnu's good intentions, Ki?" tymphal Anisa's.
"It's not that easy to love. I've loved no one else all this time, other than.. Ah, nevermind. I'm allowed to rest for a while. That's pretty good two hours. Wake me up when I pray ashar." Saskia asked her two friends.
"Yes. I'm not going to sleep. Want to make a new patrol schedule." said Anisa, while Lili seems to be going to sleep as well.
"Don't arrive. Myself. Can yuk! You must be sincere." muttered Saskia in her heart.

While in the room, it seemed that the girl was agitated. He still seems to be inexhaustible. A man named Joseph replaced his clothes for him. She hated the man who held the title as her husband.
"Sorry Ti. I don't want to actually either. But, who else would try to wear clothes for you" said the man casually. While the wife looked sharply at him.
"You shouldn't be that brave. I'd rather wear a wet kimono. Argha! Nevermind! Forget what you saw. I'm going to sleep." she said, slipping herself into the blanket.
Tiara is not really hateful. But it's a matter of self-worth. She felt ashamed, because the aurat she had been guarding all this time had to be shown to a man who did not want her to be considered her husband.
"What do you want?" said Tiara who was shocked, because Joseph also fell on the same mattress with him.
"Well, go to sleep too"
"Why indeed? I have to sleep on that floor?" he also seemed to be flirting with his little wife.
Joseph had promised himself that he would continue to be patient and lower his ego, in order to maintain his household.
"Ck, ngeselin." as Tiara was about to stand, Joseph's heavy hand restrained him. Tiara finally collapsed on Joseph's body.
"Let's go!!" tiara's screams are very loud. Joseph also covered his wife's mouth. But their position again made Tiara rebel.
"You!!!" tiara was not clear, because Joseph was still holding her.
"Sleep. I'm not going to mess around." now Joseph laid Tiara very gently. Tiara was misbehaving.
"Be careful if you dare to mess around." he threatened. Joseph replied with a smile.
"I'm not going to touch you. I'll wait for you when you're ready. Believe it." It made Tiara's heart rustle. For some reason, he felt privileged. But he still felt that feeling. He will remain steadfast, making Joseph careless of him until he divorces him.
"Why do you want to marry me? I am still underage. Don't you feel sorry for me? You completely destroyed me." said Tiara grudgingly. The tears were ready to come out of the corner of his eyes.
"I just want to take care of you, Tiara. Besides, I'll be parting with you for quite a while too. When I get back here. Think carefully about me. Do you still regret marrying me? But never hope. I'll divorce you."
"You're evil! You Evil!" Tiara could not hold her sense of regret any longer. He rebelled and finally beat Joseph hard.
"You can hate me. You can spill your anger. But you don't hate your parents. They love you very much. Believe me, parents only want the best for their children."
"But you don't have to marry me, do you?" tiara is still emotional.
"Ti! I will free your will. If you after graduating from Pesantren want to go to college, I allow it. Wanna work? I'm allowing. I won't get in the way of your ideals. Honestly, I just want to take care of you."
Now they look at each other. Both eyes met each other. Tiara stared deeper into the man's bead. He wanted to see if he was lying to her?
"Promise?"
"Promise."
The two men were finally able to make peace. Though love has not grown in Tiara's heart. Joseph was not as bad as he thought. He was a little relieved, for Joseph would free his will. He was not selfish, even Joseph himself who relented and followed his wishes.
"Thank you, Yusuf. I will keep your promise. I hope you can keep your promise."
"Yes, sure. Trust me, I just want to make you happy. Seeing you happy, I will be happy too. So, you're gonna have to go after your husband, huh?"
"Do have to be obedient anyway? What are you gonna do with me?" tiara misunderstood.
"Eh, I mean. Be obedient as long as I am not here. Be a good wife, and a good santri when I'm not by your side. That's all."
"Oh. If that. I'll try."
"What do you think, hayoh?" joseph was back to flirting with his little wife.
"No! What the hell." Tiara was misbehaved and chose to turn her back on the handsome man. Joseph was still staring at his wife's back.
"May God open your hearts to me. I hope you are happy with me." she asked in her heart.
