Rena smiled. She wanted to immediately meet with May to ask about her experience in starting a household and entering their home. She remembers very well that when she entered Lukman's house, she wanted to run away but couldn't.
"Rena, have you eaten? If not, come with mom!" take Mrs. Mike.
"Yes, ma'am. I happened to have eaten before I came here. But if I was invited again, I wouldn't mind," said Rena.
"You can eat again. But don't overdo it! It's not that you're full, you're sick to your stomach if you overdo it," suggested Lukman.
Mrs. Mike turned. "Why Rena?" asked her.
"On May's wedding day, Rena ate a lot. When she got home she threw up and her body went limp," Lukman replied.
Rena felt ashamed for doing such carelessness. But she can learn a lesson if anything in excess is not good.
"Rena, if you are still full later. I will wait for you when you are hungry," said Mrs. Mike.
"Okay, ma'am," said Rena. She also chatted with her in-laws' family. There Mrs. Mike gave enough advice to make Rena understand more or less about domestic life. Even though her mother-in-law's marriage was not the result of an arranged marriage, it was because of feelings of love.
But even though it starts with love if it is not cared for, it is not nurtured it can be disharmonious. According to Mrs. Mike's wedding is like planting a tree. It needs to be watered, given fertilizer, and cared for so that it continues to grow and bear fruit. Therefore Mrs. Mike gave a message to his son-in-law to always cultivate their marriage so that it can provide harmony in the household.
Mutual understanding and mutual openness, honesty, whatever is communicated to run well. There are bound to be problems in the household. But both wife and husband should try to solve the problem at hand. Not even avoiding it so that the problem is quickly resolved. It is also a way to mature someone in the household. And parents have no right to interfere. Unless the problem is quite large and requires the help of a third person in solving their household problems.
Because many parents want to help but instead dictate to their children so they can't solve their household problems. It is a form of toxicity in the household.
Rena understands. It was she who always caused problems in the household. Moreover, she also had an affair but Lukman was as good as possible and showed his love for Rena. It also made Rena melt with Lukman and finally, she fell in love with her husband.
Rena didn't feel like she was looking at Lukman alley sitting together in the family room. She wants to grow old until death separates her only with Lukman. And later when their children grow up, they can add to the harmony in their household.
Lukman, who realized that he was being observed by his wife, then turned his head. "Why, Rena? I'm handsome, right?"
Rena snorted. "You're too confident."
"What's wrong if you admit that your husband is handsome?" said Lukman.
Rena also pursed her lips. She does feel that Lukman is handsome, but admits in front of Lukman she is like a shame. But if Lukman left, maybe Rena wouldn't be able to.
"Yes, yes. Are you satisfied?" Rena replied.
"Not satisfied. You say that you are not sincere," said Lukman.
There the atmosphere was quite warm. Moreover, plus the warmth of the warm tea that has been prepared by Mrs. Mike.
At Alvin's house at 9 pm.
All day of May was spent alone with Alvin. And she already felt the beauty of marriage. But she still felt pain the first time she had contact with Alvin. She did not expect that the first time she would bleed. May was not given it by Rena. Rena only tells about delicious. But even so, May did not regret it because she had felt good too. Until they do it several times throughout the day.
"I'm hungry," said May.
Alvin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, immediately responded to his wife's words. "What do you want to eat? If the food at home makes you bored, should we eat out?"
"No. I don't want to go out. You know how I walk still looks like someone in pain. I just want delivery. I'll just order. Do you want it too?" May asked. She was getting used to Alvin. Because earlier May had felt the beauty of a hug, a kiss from Alvin that made her comfortable.
Sure enough, Alvin asked May to live differently from her parents. If only he still lived with Mike it would not be easy to do the "ritual" today. She and Alvin felt that the world only belonged to the two of them and no one dared to ask. Even if there are household assistants they are not too bothered. Because they spend a lot of time in the room.
May also be ordered food and also for Alvin. Although Alvin is quite sleepy because of fatigue today, he will accompany his wife until she finishes eating. Only then will she be allowed to sleep if it is possible.
The next day, Alvin said that he had to leave May for work. Because his leave period is over. He said that the honeymoon is done on weekends along with work holidays. May was a little disappointed because it turned out that she had to be left from work that day. Even though she still wants to be alone with Alvin.
Love can grow so fast. Just two days ago they felt so foreign. As soon as the approach was taken, May immediately fell in love and did not want to be abandoned by Alvin.
But as a good wife, May also has to support Alvin's hard work. She also had time to study preparation for the next semester. May didn't ask Alvin to take her anywhere. May did choose to stay at home to understand more about the house and its contents. Because the house will be where they live now and in the future.
After escorting Alvin to the door, May also asked the housekeeper what Alvin liked and didn't like. Starting from Alvin's food and other tastes.
According to Alvin's housekeeper, Alvin likes fish soup the most. Although usually according to May, soup is identical to meat soup or oxtail soup, in contrast to Alvin who prefers fish soup.
It turned out that fish soup was not fish meat that was directly cooked with other vegetables. The fish meat has been made into meatballs. And then processed into soup.
May tried to make the dish. She has plenty of time to do just that. While waiting for Alvin to come home. Because Alvin said, if there were no obstacles Alvin would go home during lunchtime before returning to the office.
May tried her best to serve her husband's favorite fish soup.
