A noise was heard in the current residence of Najwa. Mothers and fathers are busy helping prepare food that will be cooked for the wedding reception menu tomorrow. This afternoon, exactly 1 hour ago, the Ijab Qobul event was held between Najwa and Affan. Two lovebirds were officially a married couple.

"At last we can be united as well" said Affan who then lay on the bridal bed, which is none other than Najwa's private room.

"I'm sorry, my. My mattress is not as big as the one in your house" Najwa said.

"What are you talking about. I don't bother with such trivial things. The important thing is that we are now very happy, because it has made you the most beautiful bride in the world" Affan said. Hearing that Najwa blushed in embarrassment.

"Mas. We still have to go out, there are still many guests in front." said Najwa, when Affan brought his face closer, because he wanted to kiss her.

"Ah.yes you are right. It looks like mas has to be patient until night, fearing that if mas touches you now, mas can not control themselves" Affan said while chuckling.

"Let's go out again. Ntar guests even nyariin us to the room again," Najwa again tidying up his makeup while staring at a mirror that is quite large.

The two lovebirds returned out of the room after having time to straighten the waist for a moment. And sure enough, the guests who were present alternately, were waiting to see the appearance of the bride on display in a small courtyard in the house of Najwa.

Residents who see lovebirds even prickly shoes, praise their beauty and good looks.

"You're from? be patient, not yet tonight, did you guys make any installments?" butet whispered but could still be heard by Affan.

The man only shook his head with a thin smile, when he heard the words of his friend from his wife.

"Husstttt.don't say it out loud, people will hear it" Najwa said as he gestured with his index finger.

"It was my voice" said Butet.

"But buddy. You look so beautiful today, lucky Ijo beans got you," Butet continued.

"You're right. I'm lucky to have him" said Affan.

"Here you are, you are very connected when you talk. Put on a serious face, people are watching us" said Najwa.

"You want to be a spell, what's the thesis exam? seriously," said Butet.

Affan gave a smile, the man was quite amused to hear the talk from his wife's friend.

The day had begun to twilight, the guests had already gradually reduced. Even though the night is approaching, guests still take turns to come. No longer as much as during the day.

"Will you take a shower? nana has prepared a clean towel for you" asked Najwa.

"Thank you." Affan replied as he grabbed a towel from Najwa's hand.

Najwa had taken a bath first, he had changed clothes in long pajamas without a motive. And a black headscarf perched on her head.

Almost 15 minutes Affan cleaned himself up, and went back into the room. The man looked refreshed after taking a shower and changed into a casual outfit.

"Honey. Should after being legally a husband and wife, you still wear your hijab?" ask Affan.

"Eh?"

"This is in the room, I am also your husband. Shouldn't matter if I see your crown?" ask Affan.

"I-iya mas's. Sorry it's just that Nana's not used to it." Answer Najwa.

"Come here! let me be the first man to take off your hijab. Mas want to see for themselves the beauty of the wife mas owned," said Affan who made Najwa so blushed embarrassed.

Najwa then slowly approached Affan who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Did you open?" ask Affan.

"Emm." Najwa nodded his head.

"Beautiful," Affan said.

Hearing the compliment, Najwa blushed in embarrassment.

"Honey. This is our first night, can we ask for the right now?" ask Affan.

"Eh?"

"Why is your expression that? don't tell me you want to say you're not used to it either" Affan chuckled.

"Bu-Bu is not so. But there's something else that makes us have to put off our first night." Answer Najwa.

"Why? you...."

"Yes mas. Nana just got a monthly guest." Answer Najwa blushed.

Plakkk

Affan patted his forehead while dropping himself with the position of the body bent.

"It's me" Affan said. While Najwa was just smiling himself hearing Affan's words.

"So what can we do tonight?" ask Affan.

"none. We should sleep and rest . There's a reception tomorrow, right? and the day after the event ngunduh mantu at home mas. Nana was so confused, why is the event ngundu mantu held so quickly?" ask Najwa.

Affan. He did not tell about himself who will be tasked to secure the border of a city that is clashing because of the seizure of a region. Affan was confused to give an explanation as to what kind of Najwa, because he felt he could not bear to say it while they were just married aka still a newlywed.

"Mass? how is it daydreaming anyway?" ask Najwa.

Affan awakens from his daydreams and stares at the face of his beautiful wife.

"Is now the right time to say about my departure?" inner Affan.

"But what if Najwa is sad and moody? but if I don't say it as soon as possible, and suddenly I leave without prior notice, Najwa will surely grow sadder and more disappointed."

"Mas. What was? does it seem like something is being thought of? if anyone wants to share it with me, Nana is ready to listen to my complaints," said Najwa.

"Honey. What do you think of a country soldier?" ask Affan.

"Of course being a soldier is a noble job. For me the task of protecting the country is not just the duty of the Army, but the duty of all levels of society. But with a mas that is an Army, it must have its own burden that must be borne. And that burden is a pride for those of us who have you" Najwa said.

"That means you understand our duty as state servants. Every time there's a call on duty, whenever and wherever we're needed, we have to be on duty as ordered."

"Yes, Nana understands." Answer Najwa.

"Honey. That is the reason why the ghost house is accelerated, because on the 4th day of our marriage, mas got the task to secure a border in the city of JP. There was a clash over territory, and we took turns accepting duties there."

"So the 4th day of our wedding, it was my turn to be assigned there?" ask Najwa.

"Yes. You don't mind, do you?"

Najwa let out a long sigh, then looked at her husband's eyes intensely.

"It's a lie that Nana said she wasn't sad and didn't mind. But isn't that a must? Nana believes that if Nana is sincere, she will definitely get a blessing. Nana will always support me, if it's a positive job." Answer Najwa.

Affan smile. Najwa seemed stronger than he had imagined.

"Come here! even though we didn't do the first night, I wanted to hug you all night tonight" Affan said.

Najwa approached Affan and lay in her husband's arms.

"Your hair is fragrant" Affan said, kissing Najwa's head.

Najwa really enjoyed those moments of intimacy. Even though that night they just hugged each other all night.
