Bandung.
The Dinda POV
Today is my first day to set foot. In Bandung, the place where my husband was born.
"It's very cold Bang" I told Briyan.
"Yes, it's right for us honeymoon" he replied, winking his eyes. Flirtatious.
"Ah what the hell," I said shyly.
"It's over!" girang said.
"Mom!" call her a beautiful mother. No doubt if the city of Bandung dubbed with the city of flowers. Because the face of the hawaii is very beautiful all. Her beauty is very special. Exceed average.
"His sister's home? Is this your mom's ghost?" tanya Mamah Briyan in Sundanese. But maybe that's what it means.
"Yes Mah. Geulis is the big brother's choice?" briyan said with pede.
"Dad, geulis maning. Enter neng! Whoa!" tell me.
I'm just smiling. Seen from the look of his mama's face that is very welcome to me. I'm so happy. Maybe I feel like living here.
One by one the Briyan family met me. Including his sister. He doesn't seem to like me. It looks from his ugly face and does not want to shake hands with me. Not even Briyan told her sister to shake hands with me.
I was a little bit pinched by his behavior. But I try not to bother him. Because this is the first meeting. Hopefully in the future we can get along with each other.

After the dinner is over. I take care of the dirty stuff. I tried to help wash it. Although I was exhausted and wanted to rest, mamah or Briyan's papa looked indifferent. They let me continue my activities.
Yes, I'm his son-in-law. I do all this with pleasure. All for my husband. But I'm asking to be spoiled a little. Because I was previously a spoiled child, so a little surprised to see the indifference of this family.
'Huh, done too,' my mind is relieved. I hope to break myself down soon. But suddenly my mother came and stood beside me.
"Mom," I said with a smile.
"Dinda Oiya. From tomorrow you cook for yourself. Or not, if you want to buy please. It is not unusual to cook for many people. So stomach affairs, please take care of each. Whether you eat or not, it is up to you. Not buy or how, mamah does not want to interfere," said mamahnya at length.
I smiled at assent. It turned out that the rules in Briyan's house were like this. I need to be able to adapt. Thank God, I gave a decent pocket to me. So it seems that I am not too bothered to buy food later.
"Okay, you understand, right?" ask him again.
"Understand Mah" I replied while nodding.
"Pinter's son. Yes, you can sleep."
"Good Mah." Huh, it's relieved. I can finally break down. Thought excited.
"Hold on Din!" preventably.
"Yes Mah." Specially?
"Don't forget, wash dishes. House beres. Washing clothes can also be done" he said.
"Yes Mah." I just resigned. As long as Briyan is still with me, whatever about his family I will accept.

POV Author
After 2 weeks of living in Bandung, now Dinda and Briyan decided to return to the house of Mr. Bambang. Dinda did not live there. He was just trying to put himself at ease for the sake of his household. Moreover, the pocket given by Mr. Bambang is almost exhausted because of the Briyan family. Because Dinda's not feeling well. Is it possible that he just bought food for him and Briyan? So he bought it all. Remembering until now Briyan's sister did not want to say hello to him. I don't know what's wrong with Dinda until hated by Briyan's sister.
"Well, we're going straight to the house?" ask Dinda to make sure.
Actually Briyan was reluctant to stay with Mr. Bambang. Seeing Dinda's very very request at that time, Briyan finally agreed. Not forever he lived with Mr. Bambang. Briyan has made a pre-marital agreement with Dinda. If they will not ride in the parents' house again later. So, let's just say this hitchhiking for a while.
Briyan works in a workshop owned by his father. Yeah, just looking after the workshop. Because in finance, Briyan still often puts his hands on his parents. Even when he did the cost, the parents paid for it. So when Dinda gets there, they all use Dinda instead. Because their money is up to finance Briyan. Also, Dinda is Briyan's wife. Briyan's money is Dinda's money as well.
While Dinda, the plan after returning from Bandung. He will continue his studies again. Definitely patching up the subjects he had long left behind.
Life with Briyan was so much fun for Dinda. He hoped forever he would continue like this even though the Briyan family did not like him. Dinda doesn't matter, as long as she lives with Briyan forever. It's hard to be happy he's facing. Everything just needs adaptation.
"Em, I'd like to buy you some souvenirs for Nesa to do?" ask Dinda carefully. Just 2 weeks into being a wife, Dinda looks so obedient to her husband. It was very different from Nesa's slightly dissident attitude towards Jo.
"Can anyway. But my brother doesn't hold any money. Just use Dinda's money?" Briyan.
"Yes Bang." Dinda nodded. This is if they get married at a young age. Not yet established about finance. Only the parents they rely on. Even so, Dinda still does not demand anything with Briyan. He knows his position how?
Shortly thereafter, both of them arrived at the residence of Mr. Bambang. Like parents in general, Mr Bambang immediately asked Dinda news?
"How are you doing, son? Father misses very much with you," said Mr. Bambang moved to see the return of his son.
"Alhamdulillah, healthy Dad. Like what you saw. Dinda came home without any flaws," said Dinda displaying a happy face. Dinda just covered it up.
"Thank God, thank God then. What about your in-laws there? They're healthy, right?"
"Yes, healthy dad," Briyan replied as she walked towards her room.
"Oiya, Briyan wants to rest first. Capek," said Briyan without hesitation.
Yes, Dinda's family is self-conscious. Briyan is so because she feels she has become a hero to Dinda. Because, Briyan felt there would be no other guy who would accept Dinda besides Dinda.
Briyan doesn't know. If Dinda's family knew the rot, it would be Briyan who would be crushed. Connecting the Dinda family is good all. No one thinks negatively of him.
"Yes Yan. Just rest," said Mr. Bambang.
"You're not taking a break, Din?" bambang asked Dinda.
"Now Dad." Dinda sat in the living room. Mr. Bambang also followed him. As a father, Mr. Bambang felt something strange to Dinda.
"Capek huh?" ask Bambang sir who answered by Dinda.
"They treated Dinda well, right?" ask Mr. Bambang curious.
I think Dinda wants a story. But he was afraid that the edges would misunderstand. Afraid if all ends up being a sheepfight between besan to besan only because of the rules in-laws that Dinda cannot accept.
"Yes Dad. Thank God, all the Briyan family is very good."
"You feel at home there?" ask Mr. Bambang again.
"Father Well," she lied.
"Goodoo. I was worried that you were why. You are the most spoiled father's son. It is easy not to rest when sleeping in people's homes," said Mr. Bambang according to what Dinda felt.
"Ah dad. Beaah!" reply Dinda. He immediately bailed to his room. Following the existence of her husband.
When the fall. Accidentally, Dinda's eyes stared at the date on her dresser. His eyes widened when he found out he was late for the moon.
"It's been a month" he murmured a bit in shock.
"Well what?" briyan asked in shock.
Dinda speechless. He was afraid something would happen to his house.
Seriate...
What happened to Dinda? Is Dinda really late for menstruation?
