"What the hell Leonal, if you want to mock you don't have to eat here."
"I'm still emotional, you'll get old quickly."
"No, I'm ageless."
"Lea, don't fight in front of rude food, Dad always says that."
"Yes, Dad," answered Lea who stepped on Leonal's feet.
Meanwhile Leonal just laughed because he liked to disturb his brother.
Everyone had breakfast peacefully without any other fuss. After that Lea helped her mother tidy the dining table and carried the dirty dishes to the kitchen.
"Rigel forgive Lea if she is so childish huh."
"Yeah, it's okay, Rigel understands that too, Dad."
"But slowly you teach him, remember your father and father's message too."
"Surely Rigel will always remember that message."
"Oh yeah, help Lea too if she plays outside the house, don't let her often, because she's a student now."
"Lea is legally a medical student, Dad?"
"I forgot to say that Lea might have to go to college tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"It's all right, Daddy."
Leandra deliberately lingered in the kitchen while her mother joined Leandra's father and Rigel.
"Son, Rigel. If, for example, Lea's emotions are too high, please help her, she is actually a good and obedient child, but she is often rude."
Rigel chuckled at the words of Mrs. Leandra. More or less Rigel knows Leandra's attitude.
"But it was safe last night right?"
"Safe? What do you mean, ma'am," asked Rigel who frowned.
"That's normal for newlyweds, surely not? You have to be patient, Mom, I have advised Leandra to really become a wife who gives her rights and obligations with her husband."
Rigel laughed again remembering his argument last night with Leandra.
"Yes, ma'am. After all, getting married isn't all about that, Rigel doesn't force anything on Lea either."
"Wow, we didn't choose our son-in-law wrong, Dad," he said to Leandra's father.
Leandra who heard that was really nauseous and wanted to throw up.
"Just keep praising, ma'am."
Leandra passed the dining table while saying that which made Rigel smile because of his behavior.
"Yes, that's Leandra, you really have to be extra patient, kid."
"Yes, ma'am."
Leandra started studying about 7 days later, exactly after a week and one more day of their wedding. Rigel is still at Leandra's house because according to his mother they are not allowed to travel far before seven days. They did, and luckily the hospital was kind enough to Rigel to give him such a long leave.
7 days passed so fast but still long for Leandra. During those 7 days Leandra and Rigel did not touch at all. Rigel really kept his promise.
Knock knock!
Rigel knocked on the door of Leandra's father's office.
"Dad, Rigel, may I speak for a moment?"
"Please sit here," his father beckoned.
"Look, Rigel is planning to move tomorrow, if for example Leandra is taken and lives at Rigel's house, how about it, Dad?"
Leandra's father laughed.
"Why do you have to have permission from your father? Now that's Leandra, your wife, yours. Yes, of course you can, Rigel."
"Rigel doesn't like it if he doesn't ask permission first."
"Besides, the distance between your house and Lea's campus is not much, it's even better, the hospital where you work is also one way, right?"
Leandra's father had known Rigel's house long before this marriage took place.
"That's right, Dad."
After asking permission, Rigel entered Leandra's room.
"Aaa!" Leandra shouted, surprised by Rigel's arrival because he had just taken a shower and was only wearing a white tank top and knee-length pants. He immediately covered it with both hands.
"Shutt don't have to shout why, Lea."
"I swear you're being rude, knock on the door first or excuse me."
"Yeah sorry, I don't know. Then why are you silent, wearing your clothes or deliberately trying to tease me?"
"You're fine, watch out for a peek."
Rigel turned his body to look out the window of Leandra's room.
"Wait, don't go back, it's not finished yet."
Rigel just sighed.
"Not yet, it's been a long time," protested Rigel.
"Well, what are you going to do in your room?"
"Wanna clean up."
"Where are you going?"
"Tomorrow we move, you clean up some of your equipment. We live at my house."
"Huh! Why is that? I really have to live with you?"
"Yes, because you are my wife."
Leandra did not answer anything, she left her room. As usual he would ask his father about any policy.
"Dad, does Lea have to leave this house?" he asked in the doorway of his father's study.
"Come in, Lea."
Lea sat on the sofa in the room.
"Answer me."
"Yes, you must come with your husband."
"You don't like it when Lea lives here, do you?"
"It's not like that but you are Rigel's wife, you have to obey his words too. Whether you are betrothed or not you have to follow him as a priest."
"But what about my studies, Dad?"
"Rigel's house is not far from your campus, you can go together because Rigel's hospital is also in the same direction as your campus."
"Lea can't bring Dad's car? Dad, I promised that when I went to college, I would give permission to drive a car."
"You go anywhere with your husband, I don't want anything untoward to happen to you. Women must always be taken care of."
Leandra snorted annoyed with her father's opinion. He always loses when he argues with his father.
"But it's okay to go home once in a while, right?"
"The door is always open to your brother."
"Yeah, Lea's done it first."
Leandra went to her room with a languid face and a hint of sadness in her heart. When he returned to the room Rigel's things were neatly ready in his suitcase. While Leandra tried to take her suitcase on the cupboard but she didn't arrive and didn't want to ask for Rigel's help either.
"Ask for help if you are in trouble, Lea," said Rigel as he lowered the suitcase.
"Thank you," Leah replied with a languid face.
"What's wrong with you?"
