Chapter 67.

Nuril looked at Maudy and almost cried. When Maudy saw Nuril's eyes reddened because hearing Fathur and her mother's conversation must have made her breathless, Nuril also played a part in this. When Fathur had to be advised, once again Maudy sighed and hugged Nuril.
"Ril, if you feel guilty, treat Fathur well; you know that you've been quite selfish all this time, right? Maudy's honest words made Nuril look down helplessly. When Maudy broke their embrace, Nuril, who wanted to speak, was stopped by a call from her mother and Maudy's mother.
"Dy, Nuril, here, son. Call Nuril's mother, Aunt Ira.
"Oh, yes, tan," replied Maudy, while Nuril felt bad for Fathur, and he walked slowly towards his mother and Maudy's mother. But Maudy just pushed him from behind. Until he quickly arrived in front of his mother.
"Oh, yes, Tan, Ma Maudy has work for a while; come here later. Maudy, go to the kitchen first, okay? He said it right away.
Her mother and aunt Ira nodded, and Nuril was left alone in the living room. Actually, it was okay, but because the atmosphere did not allow it and Fathur and Nuril's condition had not really improved, he immediately cursed Maudy for leaving without any warning to him.
"Nuril, Fathur has come; what do you want to talk to him about? Oh, yes, and Fathur, you can solve your problems, right? Because Auntie also has work, you can help Maudy. Oh, if you're feeling better, don't forget to check your wedding preparations, because yesterday you said your bouquet of flowers and decorations wanted to match the building, what friends and colours matched, and don't forget to fit your wedding dress; that's what Aunt said. Farah, you guys try. Come there later, okay? Aunt Ira said again before finally leaving the front of the two couples, who were in love with various emotions inside them at the moment.
"Oh, yes, while I'm still here, I have something to say too. Mama Maudy immediately looked at the two of them—her nephew and her nephew's future son-in-law. Because, after all, Fathur will be his son-in-law too.
Yes, aunt, please," said Fathur.
"Yes, aunt," answered Nuril almost at the same time.
"Auntie doesn't want to be angry; it's just that this is my aunt's advice as a mother. You know what Nuril's mother said earlier—almost the same as what my aunt would say. It's not much different; it's just that if one day you have a problem, don't run away from home and solve it with a cool head. And, Nuril, please, son, don't be too stubborn; not everything you want is achieved. Please respect Fathur as a husband in the future, because if you don't value him as a man, then everyone will also look down on him. Son, you are a woman, a wife's paradise under your husband. If you think everything will go smoothly, the same goes for Fathur, for men. Fathur, you also have to be kind and respectful to Nuril, even if you are angry. Never play a hand, say harsh words, or do anything that can hurt Nuril physically and mentally. Auntie, please, why? Because if you also obey, love, and appreciate your wife as you should, whatever you are going to do will run smoothly and be fine. However, life still has obstacles. And also, husband and wife will definitely fight; there is no such thing as a good marriage. Even if we are brothers, we can fight, let alone husband and wife, which unites two people with different opinions and different thoughts in our heads. Too many things will appear on the surface. Auntie hopes you will be fine. When you can face that, then your love will last forever, and believe me, it will last until you become grandparents and leave this world. Maudy's mother explained again, making Nuril and Fathur finally understand why they fought at the wrong time.
"Ah, Auntie, it's been too long to talk; I don't think anyone has heard. Ah, I'm sorry, Auntie; I'm just kidding. Don't take it to heart, but that's all I can say. It's really too long, but okay, I'm glad you have met and can talk about your future relationship. Oh, yeah, one more thing. Nuril, please fight no matter how big you are with Fathur someday; never break the promises you have made. The same goes for you, Fathur." Maudy said and finally left, leaving the two lovebirds who were trying to discuss improving their relationship.
After his mother and aunt left, Nuril and Fathur were silent for a while, until finally Fathur wanted to break the ice and start a conversation; unfortunately, Nuril was the same. Until the two of them ended up awkward again. The two stared at each other and finally chuckled together.
"Hey, just go ahead," said Nuril.
"Lady's first," replied Fathur again.
"Hey, that's funny," said Nuril, looking away while straightening her hair and putting the stray hairs back through her ears. Fathur also chuckled at that.
"When you think about it, we're like kids; I think it's like high school kids fighting. Fathur continued again.
"Hem, even like a seven-year-old child. Nooril chuckles too.
"Hem, I'm sorry. I said hurtful words yesterday, and you must be in a dilemma about whether to continue marrying me or not. Fathur said, looking down.
"Actually..." Nuril stopped talking, seeing how Fathur reacted, and it turned out that her guess was right. Fathur looked at her with interest, as if very curious about what Nuril was saying.
"Why?" Fathur asked.
"Ha? Ah, it's okay. Nuril's answer changed the conversation; unfortunately, it didn't work because Fathur was waiting with hope.
"Hmm," muttered Nuril.
"Why? Just say it; it's okay. I'm waiting. If,  for example, you want to convey your opinion, even if it hurts, that's okay; I will accept it and try to understand it. Instead, I will also say my opinion. I hope you will also accept what I want to say. Fathur explained again, trying to negotiate with Nuril so they could express all the issues that were in their hearts and heads. So that everything could be resolved and relieved.
"Actually, I didn't really think about what you said yesterday; I was just annoyed because you defended Casya in front of me, but after I thought about it, it turned out that I was wrong. It's just that I still don't like you inviting Arga. But earlier, Maudy had said that I couldn't force my will, and I also understood you when you wanted to invite Arga, just like I protected Maudy. But maybe we can't be in sync on this one thing, but at least you have the courage to be honest, and I also appreciate that. I'm just annoyed because you really didn't contact me, and I'm really angry because I didn't keep my promise, and also because my aunt and father think I'm breaking promises. Just because I quarrelled with you, I want to teach you a lesson in case you get scolded by Maudy's father or his mother. But instead, Mama advised you, and I feel guilty. We, as a couple, should have thought this through carefully. After all, we will become husband and wife. I, who am immature, felt slapped by Maudy's words earlier that I should protect you, just like you did to me. It shouldn't be good, everyone knows, if we fight. Because when we get married, only the two of us will know and be able to solve our problems," said Nuril, crying. She couldn't hold it in anymore, couldn't hold back the tears that came out carelessly without warning.
Once again, Fathur also felt slapped and immediately approached Nuril, hugging the woman who had made him fall in love since they first met in the high school hallway.
Maudy, who wanted to offer food and drink to the two lovebirds who were trying to make up, was stunned when she saw Nuril and Fathur hugging each other, and Nuril was crying. While Fathur chuckled while patting Nuril's shoulder, he knew that even though Fathur wasn't crying, his eyes looked red, and Maudy knew that the two human children had just resolved their protracted problem, like two kindergarten children who were arguing and the other one was trying to sell high prices. Because he didn't want to disturb him, Maudy finally returned to the kitchen.
"Well, why come back, son?" asked Nuril's mother, and Maudy just shook her head, then held Ira's hand when she was going to the front.
"Tan, they're hugging each other; they've just finished their problem. Don't disturb them yet. Maudy said, and Ira looked at Maudy with a warm gaze, as warm as a hug from a loved one. Ira nodded and held Maudy's hand. He stroked it slowly, then sighed.
"Dy, Auntie asks you one thing; is that okay? Ira asked, and Maudy nodded without hesitation.
"What is Tan? Maudy asked directly, and Ira looked at Maudy carefully before finally sighing and saying,
"Dy, auntie, don't ask for much. There's only one thing that will always make you happy: if you have a problem, just say it; don't keep it. If you can't talk or convey it directly to your father or mother, you can say it or ask your aunt. While Auntie can answer your questions and help with your anxiety, she promises to help. Your attitude is different from Nuril's, who is outspoken. Nuril can say things that make her uncomfortable or bother her even though many people don't care whether the people listening are comfortable or not. But Maudy is different. You are too sensitive and care about other people's feelings, dear. So, whatever it is, never keep it in your heart, son. Never keep your sadness alone. If you can just tell it, at least someone will hear it, even if it can't be of any help, but you will be relieved if you tell it," explained Ira with a warm look. And Maudy was of course moved, and she hugged her aunt, and not far from there, Maudy's mother looked at the two people, her sister-in-law and her child, who were conveying messages to each other through hugs, and she felt very guilty because she had lied to Maudy. But this is not what they wanted; fate made them like this.
