On this silent night, the two of them whose relationship was already bound but still looked unfamiliar were silent for a long time in each other's minds. Sania tonight remembered her late parents. The girl misses the figure of both her parents. Son, he remembered Vennie. Losing someone you love is painful. It hurts more than anything because there is never a cure.
"You daydreaming?" Sania ventured to look at her face. Her husband is blind, but he doesn't look pathetic.
"Why are you here!" His hoarse voice, shook his heart. Sometimes Sania feels scared of her own husband, but sometimes Sania feels challenged. Conquering the heart of a man who cannot see should be easier because he cannot judge from the physical first.
"I'm your wife, I deserve to be here" she answered boldly.
Son smiled cynically. The figure of the woman before him was indeed so brave. "Did I ever consider you a wife?" insinuations.
"No. But I'll try and—"
"Omong empty! Stop defending yourself!." Son did not think, actually what was being sought by the woman before him. "How much money do you need?" It's been days living with Sania, but it never wipes out negative thoughts about her. Son still assumes that Sania has a certain purpose.
"I'm not defending myself. I've never known you before. But I never thought this marriage was a joke. I still consider you my husband. And I'll obey you." Sania is indeed a young girl who is not yet mature to build a household. But his orphaned status and his circumstances have been enough to make him understand life and independent learning.
"Commissioned? You mean you'll obey all my orders?"
Sania nodded the yes sign.
"Hey! Answer!"
"Eh yes." Sania chuckles in her heart forgetting that Son can't see her nodding.
"You're my wife? That right? Then I can do anything to you?" Hearing the words from Son made Sania goosebumps. What does his word mean?
Son seemed to have gotten a single crack to crush the woman before him. Son's hand fumbled, wanting to reach out to something.
"Your hands!" Sania thrust out her hand, with a swift Son grabbing it.
"Awwww!!!!!!" Sania spontaneously screamed in pain. The crazy Son suddenly clutched tightly onto his arm. "Take off, please let go!" His sturdy hands managed to make his arms redden. Long enough the sturdy hand hurt his holy hand.
"Quickly get out of my life before I do more to you!"
DEG.
This time his heart was beating faster than usual. Seeing Son speaking with his blind eyes, it was terrifying. Even though his eyes are blind but his eyes are so sharp. Sania was scared, but as much as possible she had to calm down. There's no way Son will do more than this. Mr. Math is a good father, surely his son is too. Son just does not know himself, also because he still loves his fiancee first. It's just a matter of time. Sania is sure that one day Son will assume it exists.

"Rul! What the fuck!" Lotus threw some money on the table. His face was flushed red, plus his furrowed brows. Maria who heard the screams from her mother went straight out of the room.
What he saw now was his father sitting in a chair leaning. His eyes were staring upwards while gnawing. Her mother turned her waist while glaring at her husband.
"Mom, what's going on?" Maria as much as possible asked softly, seeing the condition of her mother who was not okay.
"Mary, look. Your father only gave money to this mother. And he said that this should be enough a month. Is he crazy!" Lotus dropped the money on the floor. Raul, who had been silent, finally stood up.
"Hey you women don't know themselves! I am thankful I gave you money! You are indeed a woman—" Her voice choked in the throat as she glanced at the frightened Maria. He did not want Mary to hear harsh words. "Mary, come into the room" he ordered softly. He dampened his emotions as much as possible.
"Let's get Maria to the room. I'm not here either."
"Tuan—"
"Shut up! Back to the kitchen!" Not finished talking, Mr. Mail was immediately expelled by Raul.
"Let go! You guys don't have hearts!" Lotus whimpering in pain. Raul's hand gripped so badly that it hurt his hand. Ex-angry is so real.
"You who have no heart and no mind! You always judge anything by money, by material! I ask you to be patient a little! My efforts are receding, is it possible to give me a little support?"
"Hey! Life is expensive! You gave me money that's not how much it's enough for a month! I'm not asking you to continue to take care of your nearly bankrupt business. I—"
PLAKK!!!
Raul's really mad. He did not expect his wife would say such a painful thing to him. He said casually that his business was almost bankrupt. Really, he has no heart.
"Now you slap me? You dragged me like an animal too. You really!" Lotus pushed Raul to the ground. She was also very angry with her husband. "Hey listen to Raul! You don't pretend to be stupid! You have a niece who's lived a good life living in a fancy house, should be when you're hard, you ask her. Does your brain not think far there? Basic bo—"
"Stop! What did you say? The money? Money from Sania? And you just so easily spend it?"
"No need to be a hypocrite, Raul! You're just—"
"Shut up! Just go! Just go! Get out of front of me now!" Raul rubbed his face rough. Fighting with his wife is really draining his energy now.
"Master, drink up." One glass of water he thrust on Raul who at that time still covered his face with both palms. He's so fragile now.
With a disheveled face and trembling hands, he grabbed the glass. Mr. Mail didn't blink looking at Raul at the moment. So sad, I don't know what really happened, Mr. Mail didn't want to talk about it.
"Sir, I've prepared lunch. You better eat first." Although sometimes Raul often scolded him, but Mr. Mail still cares for this family member. Mr. Mail is even grateful to still be employed here.
"Go away. I want to be alone" he said in a soft voice.

Her tears had welled up in her eyeballs, she turned around as she rubbed them slowly. Seeing the two men of different ages hugged her tightly, made her a little sensitive.
"Congratulations on your marriage, sir. I'm happy." Uncle Leo smiled widely. I didn't know that Son was married.
"Uncle, I'm thirsty." Son did not respond to Uncle Leo's congratulations. And Uncle Leo swiftly took a glass of water at the nightstand. It looks like Sania is also moving, but Uncle Leo's movement is faster.
Sania was still faithfully standing at that spot, seeing how familiar Son was with Uncle Leo. He didn't know much about who Uncle Leo was before. But from the story she heard now, Uncle Leo worked for her husband's family and eventually resigned because of something.
"Excuse me. Miss Sania was called Mr. Math in her room." Bi Mar suddenly came to stop the conversation between the two of them. Sania nodded and walked along with Bi Mar. His heart was broken when his father-in-law called him. They haven't talked together in a long time. Math who is rare at home also makes the two of them rarely meet.
