"Why is your face cloudy without rain?" butet asked, as the girl saw a sad aura on her best friend's face.

"Mas Affan goes errand. Long enough home." Najwa answered with a flat face.

"Alamak.the new bride different times. Just been left a few hours already hello kitty your heart. No matter what he goes, when he comes home that's more your husband misses."

"Eh..but by the way try to tell me, how was that your first night? does it really hurt?" butet asked with a thunderous voice.

Hearing his best friend's question, Najwa was forced to look left and right, afraid that someone would hear Butet's words. And sure enough, there was Adri around them, who pretended not to hear their conversation.

"Hussttt.shrink down your voice," Najwa said half in a whisper.

"Sorry..sorry...so how? what's felt? do you know what? you're the first night, but I imagine it, too" Butet said half-whispering but could still be heard by Mr. Adri.

"Your brain should be washed with detergent. Still girls are forbidden to think pervertedly,"

"Don't switch the conversation. I'm curious about this, just as quickly as you can answer my question" Butet said.

"I don't know what it's like. You see, on that first night, I got my period." Answer Najwa.

"Well..how could that be? so you're a virgin, have pity on that bean ijo."

"Hussst...Butet, lower your voice!" Najwa patted her forehead, while Adri was all her might holding back her laughter.

"Yes, I can't wait for you to go to school, I want to hear your first night's story. But there is such a bloody tragedy. Disappointed I will be," said butet with his language language accent.

"Partially why do you come to terms with such affairs. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you that either. Sin knows,"

"Where is the sin? although our religion is different. But don't try to lie to me, I'll just ask the process. Didn't you tell me the length and diameter of the bird that did it?" butet.

"Hadehhhh.mboh, ora take care..mumet ndasku," said Najwa.

"Ckk...start coming out again right? in order to avoid the Butet question, you can make me open a traditional dictionary" said Butet, who was met with a crunchy nudity from Najwa.

Tringggg

Najwa's laughter eased, when he heard a chat coming into his phone. Najwa's smile expands when she sees her beloved husband, who sends a chat for her.

"Honey. Mas, it's arrived. Have you had lunch yet?"

"Alhamdulillah if mas already nyampe. You're home, are you?"

Affan smiled, while reading the contents of the chat from Najwa.

"Am kagen?"

Najwa did not reply to Affan's chat, until the man called him in person.

"Not in a chat reply from Mas?" ask Affan across the phone.

"Soalah Nana knows, I must have called directly to hear the answer."

"Basic naughty. So you're not kangen?" ask Affan.

Najwa glanced left and right. There's Adri and Butet nearby.

"Yes kangen," replied Najwa half in a whisper.

"Not that whisper?" ask Affan.

"Shame on. There's another teacher near me." Answer Najwa.

"I didn't hear. Especially when Najwa said kangen, I really did not hear," said Butet, who made Najwa's eyes so glaring.

Hearing that voice, Affan chuckled. The man knew it was the voice of Butet, the friend of his wife.

"Butet huh?" ask Affan.

"Yes mas. I'm sorry, he does like his guy's nyablak."

"No what. Funny guy, entertaining. I'm glad you're friends with him, so when you leave you won't feel sad" Affan said.

"Yes already. Want to check the location first, right?" affan.

"Yes mas. Careful huh?"

"Yes. Darling?"

"Hem?"

"Mas loves you" Affan said.

"Also what?"

"Love you." Answer Najwa.

"Awas there lightning, have mercy on this single me." cried Butet.

Affan who had heard the joke Butet, so laughed loudly. Najwa glanced at the butet, after the call was over.

"Hat habit!"

"What's? just steal a little, you stingy!"

"Makanya quickly marry, let's not kepo."

"Eh. covetous, the mentang-matang has been sold," said Butet who was avenged kendah by Najwa.

Bend day...

"Ma. Nana left first huh?" najwa said, kissing her mother-in-law's hand.

"Heart-Heart. don't speed too much," said Intan.

"Yes Ma. Where's papa?" ask Najwa.

"Aw...Your father since retiring from the police force, he likes to spend time gardening behind the house. So early in the morning he was already behind the house." Answer Intan.

"Then tell me the same papa, if Najwa says no first,"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Intan.

Najwa left feeling happy, her husband said it was likely only a week at work. And it's been the second day since Affan left. Najwa was impatient to see her husband again.

The sun was right at the top of the head, when Najwa and Butet were having lunch while watching television at the office. Being engrossed in watching soap operas, suddenly tanyangan in diverkan because it wants to give a glimpse of info for the audience.

Najwa's heart was pounding, the spoon slipped out of his hand. His heart began to fidget.

"Na. Did the Ijo beans work there?" tanya Butet is taken by Najwa.

"You calm down first. Not necessarily the ijo nut, control yourself."

"Whoever that person is, I can feel the sadness of his family especially his children and wife. Butet, I'm so scared. I have to determine who died" Najwa said with tears.

Butet could feel Najwa's hands as cold as ice cubes. To be honest Butet also felt anxious, even though Affan was not his relative. Najwapun rushed to call his in-laws to confirm the news.

"Hallo ma?"

"Yes Na. What's up?"

"Have you heard the news from Affan's workplace?"

"Yet. What's the matter?"

"Nana just saw the news on tv. He said fighting in the city of Jp cost the lives and it was from the officers. Two people died,"

"What-What?" Intan surprised.

"Ma..Who is that officer? Nana is afraid of ma. Hiccu...."

"Nana calm yourself, son. Mama will tell papa first, let me ask first with the district there."

"Yes ma. Call Nana, will you ma? or Nana just go home?"

"No need. You teach calmly, later Mama will tell you in a moment," said Intan.

"Yes Ma." Answer Najwa.

Najwa ended the conversation with a troubled heart.
