Coming out of the bathroom, Zio saw Sarah still lying on her bed. Curious, Zio approached him, leaning over, seeing that his wife was actually sleeping. Instantly, he shook his hands in shock at Sarah's wide-open eyes.
Actually, since entering the room, Sarah was not sleeping. He only cried after hearing the voice of the woman who answered his phone call this morning.
"What's the matter?" ask Sarah who has been sitting on the edge of the bed. His eyeballs still glittered looking at Zio.
Zio turned to face his desk.
"Where did that come from?" ask her again. Then stand behind Zio.
"There needs to be a friend" replied Zio flatly, still in a position of standing on Sarah's back.
"Buddy?" Sarah laughs softly, of course she knows her husband is currently lying. Because he was the one who called Zio's cell phone number using his father-in-law's phone. That's what he did because Zio blocked his phone number.
Zio turned to face Sarah, looking into Sarah's glittering eyes. Then, he stepped towards his work desk.
"Who was that woman with my brother?" sarah asked.
Zio's steps stopped immediately hearing Sarah's question.
"What do you mean?" asked Zio with narrowed eyes.
"Just answer me, who was that woman with brother?" sarah asked.
"Whoo! Do not accuse! Later on heard people think it's all true," Zio jolted pressed his voice, looking at the door, afraid that their conversation was heard.
"Ooo, you still want to dodge? All right, let Sarah just tell Mommy, "Sarah is bluffing, and then walks out of the room.
"Come, Sarah! Where are you going?" Zio followed Sarah's steps and held her hand.
Sarah turned around, looking at Zio. "Now you explain who the woman with Brother was? Or..?"
"Or what? You threatened me!" zio's jolt cut off Sarah's speech.
"No, Sarah didn't threaten you. Sarah just wanted to know who the woman that was with you all day? Is it wrong for Sarah to ask that question as Brother's wife?" sarah said with teary eyes.
"Whose woman do you mean, Sarah?" ask the softened Zio.
"Woman with brother all day?"
Zio let out a big sigh, looked at Sarah inside, then turned his walking body to his workbench.
"Abang, answer first. Who was that woman with brother?"
Zio did not insist he chose to sit in front of the desk while turning on the computer.
"Abang, answer first? Who was with my brother." Sarah stomped her steps closer to Zio.
"Enough Sarah! Don't worry about you my wife, you feel entitled to know all about me!" zio's jolt accompanied by his sharp gaze.
Sarah's lips trembled, her eyes increasingly glittering withstanding the cries. Is this how he loves people who can never love us? Should I survive even if I hurt you? Sarah's chest felt tight, then ran to the bathroom shedding tears that she could no longer bear.

In the evening, finished dinner. The Zidan family gathered in the main hall. Except Maria and Rita are back in their room. Zio was about to go to the room as well, but was prevented by Salsa because he wanted to enjoy the moments of gathering with his husband and children and his new son-in-law. This is the first day Sarah is in this house as a daughter-in-law.
"So when is Brother going to Honeymoon?" salsa asked in between their chat.
Zio glanced at Sarah sitting beside him, then clasped her hands while smiling. "Tomorrow Bun. But when we get back to Honeymoon, we can stay in another house, Bun? We want to study independently. Is that Sarah?" ask Zio for Sarah's opinion.
Sarah just smiled shyly, nodding slowly. Even though she knew at this time her husband was just playing a show. Still, there was happiness when Zio held his hand.
"According to Mommy, too, dear" said Salsa agreed with her daughter.
"Honey, we should also respect their decision. Now that our son is married, that means he is an adult. No longer should we impose our will on him. He already has his own responsibilities" Zidan chimed in.
"Thank you Dad" said Zio.
"But Dad...?" Zia is still protesting.
"Slut, don't be. Later even if Adek is married will definitely leave Mother and Daddy, too" said Zidan deliberately mocked her.
"Daddy! I'm talking about Adek!" zia's whiskers along with her pursed lips.
"Yes, it's up to Brother and sister Sarah. But stay not far from here! And also his big house, so that Adek can ride a ride as well," pinta Zia later.
"Mother is also following. But, you have to promise Mommy, never hurt Sarah or disappoint her. Remember that! Brother has a sister and Mother is also a woman. Of course you will not accept if Mother and Zia are hurt by others,"
"Tuh, horrified what Mother said," Zia chimed in.
"Remember also Abang's promise last afternoon," added Zia made Zio's face look tense.
"Oh yeah, where were you all day? What time's home?" ask Salsa full of questions.
"Hmm, i-it's Bun. Brother visited a restaurant in Bandung."
"To Bandung? Using Deri's motor?" ask Salsa.
"I-iya Bun, let's not get stuck" Zio replied as he glanced at Sarah sitting beside him.
"Other times if you want to go, say it first. Don't play that way. What else now you have a wife. Please change the habits of that man. Think about the people who worry about you at home, too" Salsa said at length.
"Yes Bun," Zio answered quickly.
Zia who was so understanding of the nature of her brother was lips.
Until ten in the evening they chatted in the main room, after which they returned to their respective rooms.
"Abang, are we really going to Honeymoon tomorrow?" sarah asked so happy, when in the main room he was silent, only talking when asked.
"Hhhmm." replied Zio who was sitting in front of his desk.
"Thank you, brother," said Sarah, wrapping her hand around Zio's neck from behind.
"Let go Sarah! Don't stop Mother talking like you touched me!" zio's jolt tried to release Sarah's hand that was coiled around her body.
"Where is it? My brother is Sarah's husband. Not a sin either, if we have to do that." kekeh Sarah increasingly draped her strong hands.
"Whoo! Off!" sentak Zio's.
"If Sarah doesn't want to? What do you want?" It's not her fear that Sarah's getting her challenged.
"Sarah, let go first," Zio's voice began to soften.
"All right," Sarah let go of his hand.
Zio took the paper that had just come out of his printing machine. Then give the paper to Sarah. "Read this!"
"What's this?" ask Sarah.
"Just read it!" said Zio ketus.
