How shocked Alin was to see her husband enter the living room. Even the dried cassava he was holding fell. He did not expect that Raihan would be able to find himself quickly.
"Eh, Ian. Here, sit!" Elina patted the chair beside her and it meant beside Alin as well.
"Why?" muttered Alin stammered as he saw Raihan walking closer to him.
"Oma get me a drink first, will you?" Elina left them both.
Raihan was sitting on the long sofa that Alin was sitting on. The two stared at each other in silence.
"Why go quietly?" raihan asked with a gaze still pointing at his wife.
"Why did you come here?" Alin asked instead of answering her husband's question.
"It's not good for a wife to go quietly without asking her husband for permission" Raihan said.
"Just look for a wife that suits your wishes, sister." Alin left, but his hand was tightly blocked by Raihan.
"We're gonna solve this problem. If necessary involve both of our parents," said Raihan with a cold look.
Just this time Alin saw Raihan's eyes look like that. The fear felt by Alin was very distant when she was afraid to see the sharp gaze of her husband as she did something that she did not like. However, this time the gaze was different, as if the person in front of him was someone else.
Raihan drew Alin's hand and said goodbye to Opa and Oma. The frightened Alin could not twitch. Even until Raihan's car went to Jakarta at high speed Alin just silently sculpted.
There was only silence in the car. No one made his voice. The journey was short and now they have reached Fatih's house.

Raihan also talked about the problems that happened to them after their parents all gathered together. The parents just silently listened while Alin lowered his head.
"It all started with your compulsion to marry us, without knowing how we both feel. We are the ones who are the victims. Though at that time nothing happened to the two of us," said Raihan calmly. It was in contrast to his heart and mind that were in a mess right now.
"Yes, this is Mother's fault. That time forced you to get married. If only I did the visa and if it is not proven, you do not need to do this marriage," Mentari said by holding back her sobs.
"You're not wrong, honey. We only made the best decision at that time" Fatih replied while hugging his wife's body.
"really. What Madam Mentari did was right. It's just possible that our teaching in providing an understanding of how to live according to religious guidelines, has not been maximized" said Abhimanyu.
"Yes, I agree with what my husband just said. In addition, their psychological understanding should also be given to be ready to face all household problems" continued Aruna.
"So, what about you two? What is it about being in a marriage relationship to feel happy or not?" ask Fatih.
"Dan, what do you think?" ask the Mentari slowly.
Getting a surprise attack of questions to him made Raihan shocked. He opened up the memory during his stay with Alin. Many of them are memories of being together.
"Life Ian from the past until now was still much happier than sad, Bun," replied Raihan.
"Then Alin what about you?" ask Mentari to his daughter-in-law.
All eyes were on Alin, then on Raihan. Raihan just kept quiet and stared at Alin flatly.
Fatih and Abhimanyu looked at each other and coded. Both of them left the room. They left for about 10 minutes, then came back.
"Alright I talked to Abhimanyu just now about the future of your household. I want to hear to what extent have you been in a relationship?" ask Fatih and look towards Raihan.
"Kiss," Raihan replied briefly and honestly.
"It's also because Ian's brother started it first" Alin continued.
Again Raihan was upset with Alin. It was as if he was forcing her to kiss. Though his little wife was the first one to jump and wonder what it was like to kiss. Even every day Alin who always asks first.
"So, it's only a stage until kissing. Good then. Want to continue or separate in your hands. We know that you are still young, apparently not able to live a life in a household. Mommy thinks that you will be like the pair of Heaven and Almahira. They got married at a young age and at school. They are able to build a happy household and provide mutual support" Mentari said.
"We want to apologize to both of you for telling you to get married. We all fear that you fall for adultery. We love you and want to protect you, that's all we thought about. We think as time goes on and we give you an understanding of the meaning of building a household, you will be able to build the future life of both of you. We were wrong" Abhimanyu said.
"It seems like I was wrong here from the start" Mentari said in a raucous voice.
"I was the one who first asked Ian to marry Alin. Then I can't give you an understanding of the science of housekeeping. Forgive Mother Ian .. Alin. Mother feels very guilty to you," continued Mentari.
"No Mother! This is not your fault" Raihan said as he sat down in front of his mother.
"Ian' is the guilty one here. Ian can't be a good husband. Always made Alin feel miserable. So, do not blame yourself Mother," said Raihan with tears. He felt he had become an ungodly child because he had made a woman cry who had conceived, given birth, breastfed, and raised him.
Alin actually wanted to hug her mother-in-law as well. However, he was embarrassed that it had already made everyone bother about the matter.
"If you want to split up we will not ban. Rather than you suffering," said Abhimanyu.
Both Raihan and Alin were surprised by Abhimanyu's words just now. Silence happened there.
"Ian left all the decisions to Alin. Want to continue this marriage or not, Ian will accept," Raihan replied to give up.
"Why did Ian give Alin his final decision?" The daughter of the couple Abhimanyu and Aruna was upset because they were handed the option for the marriage to continue or end.
"It is not you who feel unhappy because I often give punishment. That's why I leave the final decision to you," Raihan said slowly.
