The atmosphere this evening felt warmer with the presence of both parents.
The girl did not stop to smile and struggled spoiled on Tiara or Alvaro.
"How could you not try if you're this pampered." Alvaro's right hand patted the top of his daughter's head slowly.
"I'm the biggest of papa's children." replied Dusk confidently.
But unlike Baskara who smiled forcedly.
Not because he didn't like his in-laws coming. But his wife ignored him too much. Even though she does her job as a wife well. It's just that, Dusk was always near his parents. Though he also wanted to be embraced and worshiped with his wife.
They rarely have time together. And the vacation that he hoped could improve the quality of their relationship instead had to accept dividing his wife with both in-laws.
"When did you start your internship?" baskara's attention, which was stirring her food tasteless, now looked at her father-in-law.
"Winter holiday has started to enter the office, pah. The requirements are complete to enter." he replied. "Doain pah, mah. Let's graduate next year."
Tiara patted her daughter-in-law's upper arm gently. "Mama is sure you can. Mama always does the best for you here. Because it must be heavy to be far apart."
Baskara and Dusk both nodded. Both of them did feel heavy to be far apart and share the story only through the phone screen.
Even more severe if you have to resist longing if Baskara can not go home because of college assignments.
But both are grateful that their relationship has gone quite well so far. And it will be better in the future. Especially if Baskara has graduated and no longer need to be far apart.
For Tiara, both of them were still very young. Still pretty labile feeling issues. He was just afraid that someone would not be able to keep his feelings and turn to another heart.
He himself has experienced it. It is not easy to survive in the household when other friends still like to play without thinking about many things.
Her husband almost tempted another woman. And Tiara didn't want that to happen to her son.
"After college the plan is to work or continue?"
"Not yet know the reward. I want to continue while waiting for Dusk to lecture. But just stay here not at MIT." Dusk stared at her husband with a frown. Because her husband had never talked about this matter before.
"Bas also want to work. Let's make a living twilight with the results of my own jeripayah." stare shady he gave to the wife.
Alvaro nodded in understanding. As a man, they have high self-esteem. Surely his daughter-in-law was worrying about the matter.
"No pa-pa. What matters is that you don't lose responsibility."
Baskara nodded even though there was still a sense of obstruction in his heart. A sense of dissatisfaction with himself who still depends on the family to finance his wife.
Unlike his father-in-law who even since high school already has his own income.
"You guys just focus on college. Consider this household as a reward for you. As an injection of spirit when tired. Don't be considered a burden so you don't take it hard to live it." - timpal Alvaro also gave support.
"Make Babas, just prioritize to graduate quickly so that you do not need to be far from your wife. The spirit of learning to quickly graduate because there is waiting. Do not worry about anything else that does not need to be considered dizzy."
As a parent, what else could Alvaro give if not advice. Even though he himself still felt he needed advice.
"Make adek. His spirit is also his college. Must be able to show your achievements so that they can be exhibited to your children later. So a proud mother like your mama, baby. But don't forget your duties as a wife. Take care of yourself. Because right now, when you get out of the house, you're bringing the husband's good name."
Dusk nodded in spirit. He will not forget his status. And she will try to be like her mother. Being a wonderful mother also prides her children.
"While you must be far apart. Take care of each other, baby. Don't let a third person into your relationship."
Baskara never considered her marriage a burden. All this time he promised happily. There was never any problem regarding her marriage. Everything went well. Even the campus and the internship place were welcome with his status.
***
Dusk prepares a change of clothes for her husband to sleep while the young man is cleaning himself in the bathroom.
"Because this afternoon I said Males was talking to me. So tonight I'm going to sleep with my mom, okay?"
Baskara's eyes are rounded. It was as if his eyeballs were coming out. "No way, ayy! when I sleep alone! I won't be able to sleep later!" the young man bent his face and pursed his lips.
While the wife who is helping to pair the pajama buttons, rotates her eyeballs.
"Not to overdo it! in Cambridge it's normal to sleep alone."
"But it's unusual here, baby. Where is winter like this. Sleep by yourself!" Baskara hugged his wife's body tightly. Not allowing her to get out of their room.
"Once, mas. I've said the same mom wants to sleep together." the effort of twitching her husband's hand did not produce results.
"No maauuu! I don't want to sleep alone! I can't sleep with my mom!" Baskara leaned his head on his wife's shoulder and poked his face on her neck with a pleasant smell.
"Ma'as iih! don't be rich kid!" her nagging, hitting her husband's arm softly.
"Let's like a little boy. Just so you sleep with me. I can't sleep with my mom or anybody!" his determination. Pulling the wife's hand out of the room to meet her father-in-law who was still sitting on the couch of the television room.
"Mah." call Baskara who draws attention to her two-in-laws. "Snell with me, huh? I don't want to sleep alone. Cold mah. Even after Dusk is mine now" he said without shading aling-aling. Without hesitation and without shame.
Dusk just whines shame on both his parents. His cheeks were even hot.
Her husband could have said that.
Alvaro and Tiara laughed at hearing that. Why they could have a son-in-law like Baskara.
"Yes. Mama knows Dusk now has you. Besides, it's also not the mother who asked Dusk to sleep with mama. But he himself wants to." said Tiara after mastering himself from his laughter.
"And papa didn't give permission either. Papa also wants to hug mom, cold like this." Alvaro's dream ended with laughter.
Tiara pinched her husband's stomach, following the daughter-in-law who said so honestly.
Baskara's sullen face turned radiant. "Thank you mama, papa. I'll take Dusk to bed first. Good night."
Not waiting for his second in-laws answer. Baskara had pulled his wife back into the room. Not letting his wife run away.
"What the hell are you, Mom! I'm ashamed to know that!" Twilight hit the chest of her husband who was already lying side by side.
"So why? I'll tell you what it is, baby."
"Don! but still embarrassed!" annoyed, Dusk slept his back to her husband. But not how long it has been back to face and enter the warm embrace of the husband.
"Don't go far. Later I miss." whispered Baskara who tightened his hold.
