...Happy Reading Guys...

The sun has been overhead, boisterous and then tares vehicles crowded the streets of the capital Jakarta. Azalia stared out the window and accidentally saw an elderly homeless man sitting in front of a clothing store with a pleading gaze on anyone passing by. His wrinkled hands held his stomach. Unworthy clothes still wrapped his fragile body.

"Sir, stop! Stop that!" the exclamation of Azalia made Alham step on the brake suddenly.

Without waiting any longer, Azalia immediately rushed out and ran a little to the back of the car towards the old man she saw. He approached with teary eyes. He immediately squatted in front of the old man.

"Miss, can I have a little food or drink?" the homeless. His lips were pale and trembling as he spoke.

Azalia cried, seeing how sad the lives of the people in the street. "Sir, I have no food or drink. I just have money. But, I was worried that if you buy food with this situation, you will be expelled and it happens a lot. Wait here first, yeah. Don't go anywhere. I'll be back in five minutes" Azalia said, and she walked into the clothing store without lingering.

Meanwhile, Alham who was standing behind his car looked strangely at Azalia who had a short conversation with a homeless person, then entered the clothing store. He did not move even a little from his place and still continued to pay attention from afar.

Azalia returned from the store with a paper bag in her hand. "Sir, it is not my intention to demean Father. But, here I have a little sustenance that Alhamdulillah can share with the Father. In this bag there is a set of clothes for you and this is money for you to buy food. I beg to be accepted, yes, sir," Azalia said.

The homeless man was crying, moved by the kind attitude of the woman in front of him. "Neng, you ask for a little water or food. This is too much, what if Neng also needs money?" ask the homeless.

"Sir, if I also need maybe I can only share enough. Just accept it, sir. This is the sustenance of the Father entrusted to me and do not reject it."

Azalia then held out the brown paper bag, then she took out some red money, and then she held the right hand that had been wrinkled.

"Hopefully this can be useful for you. This may also be enough for you to open a small business." He put that money.

"Zinc, i–ini, this is too much."

"Oh, this is not from me. But, from God who was entrusted to me to be given to the Father. Excuse me first, my husband is waiting."

"Thank you, Neng. May Neng's marriage last and be happy always." Sincere prayer did not dare to Azalia amenkan. He just smiled and nodded, then went to Alham's parked car not far away.

Alham was amazed by Azalia. This time he saw the other side of his wife. He never even saw his ex or Sesil do anything like that. "It's over?" alham asked as soon as Azalia was in front of him.

Azalia nodded and entered the car. I don't want to talk to her husband much. 'Can I make the Lord's prayer come true? Can I melt my husband's heart, and in his heart there is never my name. In my deepest heart there is also still someone else.' Azalia was worried about her heart. What decision he will make later.

'What's wrong with him? Why does his face look sad? Was there a conversation they had that made him like this? Ah, forget it, Alham! What do you care about him for. Just leave him like that. You should be able to make him leave by himself before the time of the agreement arrives.' Alham shook his head to dispel his thoughts on Azalia's expression.

During the journey there was only silence that enveloped the two.

"Why is it so long?" mama Tina asked as soon as Alham and Azalia arrived.

"Sorry, there was a little business, Ma" Azalia replied.

The role as a wife loved by her husband again she played, as well as Alham.

"We weren't told to come in?" chirps Alham.

"Eh, yes. Come on, honey." Mama Tina held Azalia's hand. However, just a few steps they had to stop because of the voice of the person left behind.

"Who, what, am I left?" His face was bent as if he was upset.

Meanwhile, Azalia was shocked by Alham's behavior. Azalia had yet to react, she was washed away in the charm of Alham with such an expression. "I know I'm handsome. So, do not be left later taken people," chirped Alham.

'How can you be taken. Whereas, you alone choose to be with others rather than me, ' inner Azalia.

"Duh, finally the north pole is melting as well. Yeah, I did, Mama first. Don't stay here long." Mama Tina left both.

"Mama's gone, let's go in." Azalia also left her husband, but his hand was immediately grasped. Understanding the meaning of the action, he took a breath and exhaled slowly.

"Sorry, Pa. Now we eat, yeah."

Mama Tina then took food for her husband. So Azalia asked him to get food for Alham.

Without many words, he immediately obeyed and behaved like a devoted wife and affection towards the husband.

On the sidelines they ate Mama Tina and Papa Rusdi staring at the two. Mama Tina who got the code from her husband began to ask. "Azalia, you've been married for a month, haven't you?"

"Yes, Ma."

"You have no intention of honeymoon? Mama and Papa have been holding a grandson."

Uhuk! Uhuk!

The couple's new husband and wife were choking simultaneously. Then, drink the water that is available.

"Why is that the response? Not happy?"

Azalia was only able to bow, unable to answer the easy question. How can they have children, if this marriage alone is not desired by one party until now.

Alham who saw the wife just silent, he ventured to look at his mother. "It's not that, Ma. We're both pretty busy at the moment, so there's no need for a honeymoon. Moreover, I again have a big project and cannot be left behind. For children, it may not be sustenance. We will try to do that, the time is not right. Mama just pray that Azalia can get pregnant soon," said Alham.

'So sweet you said. Why don't you just tell me we're going to split up until the time of the deal? I'm sorry, Ma, Pa. It's not that I support the lies your son has created. But, she really can't accept this marriage and maybe you'll get a grandchild. But, not from me but from my sister ... Sesil, ' Inner Azalia. He shed tears.

"The company has no major projects at the moment. So, you have to get permission, let Papa replace you temporarily," said Papa Bayu.

"Well, you why are you crying, honey?" Mama Tina panicked to see the daughter-in-law crying.

Alham looked to the side, it was true. 'Why else with him?'

"Ma, maybe Azalia also wants to get pregnant soon, but not yet given. Patience, Sweetheart. We should try again for that. Don't cry anymore, I'm sad to see you like this." Alham hugged Azalia while stroking his wife's back.

Alham was more confused when he felt Azalia's shoulders tremble violently while drowning the face in his chest.

"Azalia, forgive Mama and Papa if it only makes you sad. We will not force any more. Right, aren't you, Pa? The husband nodded in confirming.

"No, Ma. I'll go with Azalia. Maybe it could also help him relieve his sadness or stress from work." Azalia looked up still in the arms of Alham.

"That's exactly it too. Yeah, you guys get ready. Tomorrow we leave, the venue and the tickets are ready." A smile rises on the face of Alham's parents. The shadow of carrying a grandchild was already in their minds.

'Honeymoon? That's right," Azalia cried out.

Cup

A brief kiss landed on Azalia's forehead, making the empress glare in surprise. Meanwhile, the culprit just chuckled softly.
