"I have to be good... Instead of a D grade and me not passing because of your course, Mr. Daren!"
Mr. Daren could hear what Kanaya said, so the killer lecturer smiled and walked towards his place. Mr. Daren's course took place in a tense and boring atmosphere for Kanaya. Time seemed to have passed or the earth seemed to have stopped rotating. I don't know... Maybe it's just Kanaya's feelings.
"You're going home, do you want to come play with us first, Kanaya?" asked Kanaya's classmate Sisil.
"Play?" Instead of answering Sisil's question, Kanaya asked the question again as usual.
"Yeah, play. Do you want to come with me, Kanaya?" Sisil answered.
"Thank You. I just want to sleep at home. Sleepy," replied Sisil.
A loud chuckle came from Sisil's lips before leaving Kanaya. Kanaya shrugged her shoulders in response to Sisil's annoyance. With half-running steps, Kanaya headed towards the motorbike parking area on campus.
Accidentally, in front of the campus exit, Kanaya bumped into someone's body which Kanaya could confirm was a man's body because it was muscular and Kanaya's body felt sore.
"If it's the right way, please. Use your eyes, don't use your mouth!" said the young man curtly.
"Eh... Why are you the one who's being stubborn? Obviously you are the one who is going the wrong way using your cellphone! I'm going the right way by looking forward. "You're the only one who isn't careful," replied Kanaya, no less curtly.
The man who bumped into Kanaya chuckled in annoyance at Kanaya's words, "What major are you a student at? You don't know who I am?"
"It's not important for me to tell you what my college major is. Doesn't it matter if I know who you are? You would definitely say that you are the son of the owner of this campus or the son of the rich rector in the novel, right? Stale! Watch out.. Move! You've wasted my time!" Kanaya deliberately nudged the man's shoulder then stepped back towards the motorbike parking area.
"Watch you later!" shouted the man, pushing his palms apart, annoyed with Kanaya's attitude.

Mr. Daren returned home at exactly twelve in the afternoon after all the courses he taught today were finished. Firm footsteps could be heard climbing the stairs to the second floor where his room was currently located.
The corners of Mr. Daren's lips curved into a crescent moon when he saw that his wife was sleeping very soundly. Mr. Daren approached his wife who was sleeping on her left side while holding a bolster. Mr. Daren smoothed the strands of hair that covered his wife's naturally beautiful face. Mr. Daren kissed his wife's forehead with great affection.
"Let me be the one to roll, dear. I will definitely hug you with warmth. But I will try to be patient in waiting until love is in your heart, darling. I really love you, my naughty wife..." Mr. Daren kissed Kanaya's forehead again before going into the bathroom to clean himself.
Kanaya writhed when she felt someone touching her. But Kanaya's eyes remained closed. Kanaya felt it was like a dream of getting a kiss from a handsome prince on a white horse so Kanaya couldn't even open her eyes.
"Kanaya... Have you prayed Dhuhur yet?" Mr. Daren tried to wake Kanaya by shaking his wife's arm.
Kanaya stretched her body again then quickly opened her eyes when she heard Kanaya's familiar baritone voice enter her eardrums. Kanaya took a thousand steps to get up from her lying position and looked at her body which was still tightly covered with a thick blanket. Kanaya took a deep breath when she saw that her body was still pregnant without the slightest opening.
Mr. Daren frowned at his wife's attitude. However, Mr. Daren immediately understood what his wife was doing at this time. Mr. Daren smiled so faintly that his wife couldn't see her husband's smile.
"What do you think I did to your body, darling?" asked Mr. Daren with a smile.
Kanaya chuckled in annoyance at her husband's words. "Mr. Daren just disturbed my dream of being kissed by a handsome Prince on a white horse. More handsome than Mr. Daren..."
Mr Daren held back his laughter listening to Kanaya's story. "What if it's me who kisses you, Kanaya?" Mr. Daren deliberately teases Kanaya.
"Uh... I don't want to be kissed by a killer lecturer like Mr. Daren," replied Kanaya.
"But you enjoyed my kiss on your lips the other day, right Kanaya?" said Mr. Daren, getting up from beside his wife, holding back his laughter.
Kanaya was silent and put her head back when she felt that what Mr. Daren said was true. Yes. Kanaya couldn't deny that she enjoyed kissing her husband a few days ago. A sweet and intoxicating kiss and the first time for Kanaya, this tomboyish girl who likes to sleep. Seeing that his wife was still daydreaming after hearing what Mr. Daren said, Mr. Daren came back to his wife.
"Already. Do not worry about it. Take ablution first there Kanaya. I'll wait for you in the prayer room downstairs," continued Mr. Daren and then stepped out, leaving Kanaya who was still stunned at this time.
Kanaya, who had woken up from her reverie, then stepped into the bathroom to take ablution water. Not long after, Kanaya followed her husband to the small prayer room on the first floor to carry out midday prayers in congregation.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." Papa Devan and Mama Nayea said hello before entering the house of the waiting-in-waiting and the eldest.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Mr. Daren, who had just come out of his office on the first floor.
Mr. Daren kissed the backs of his two in-laws' hands with reverence and then invited Papa Devan and Mama Nayra into the family room so they could talk more freely.
"Where's your wife Daren?" asked Devan's father while scanning every corner of his son-in-law's house looking for his eldest.
"Kanaya is in dad's room. "Daren, call Kanaya for a moment, yes, papa and mama," replied Mr. Daren, about to get up from his seat, but Kanaya interrupted Mr. Daren's movements so that Mr. Daren sat back on the sofa.
"No need... Kanaya is already here," said Kanaya, who was now walking down the stairs.
Kanaya did the same thing that Mr. Daren did to his parents, namely kissing the back of his parents' hands with reverence and then sitting next to his mother while clinging to her mother's shoulders.
"Mama, why didn't you come here and tell Kanaya first?" Kanaya asked.
"Is it true that if a mother wants to go to her child's house, she has to tell him first, Kanaya?" Instead of answering Kanaya's question, Nayea's mother asked her eldest.
Kanaya chuckled in annoyance at her mother's words. "Mama, since when do you ask and even ask back? Did you catch the killer lecturer, ma'am?"
Mama Nayra glared at her eldest, giving a warning. "Kanaya! Even though the lecturer is a killer, the killer lecturer has become your husband now."
"Never mind ma'am. "Kanaya is too lazy to discuss this," replied Kanaya then broke the hug from her mother.
"When are you going to give grandkids to papa and mama?"
