Gilang ran into Ratna and Nadine in the living room after assisting Yongki with the birds. Gilang's presence makes Nadine happy.
"Do you want to go home now or stay here?" Gilang asked Nadine. "It's better to stay in this house," Ratna immediately suggested.
Nadine immediately smiled as Ratna gave her advice. "Yes, but I have to go home for a while, Mom," she replied happily. Nadine's happy face widens as she realizes she has been accepted into the Gilang family.
"Gilang, please take your wife home," Ratna said, requesting Gilang's assistance by stating that Nadine was Gilang's wife. Nadine's heart was filled with joy when she heard that, as evidenced by her blushing and fascinated expression when she looked at Gilang's face. Nadine enthusiastically invited Gilang, saying, "Come on, my husband, let's go out now."
Ratna smiled wider, while Gilang was taken aback by Ratna and Nadine's close collaboration. "It's difficult when two women unite." Gilang said this as he walked out of the living room, holding Nadine's hand.
Nadine smiled happily after hearing Gilang's mocking joke, "If you break your mother's words, you will have bad luck," which She said in hushed tones. "Yes, horsetail," Gilang replied, scratching his brow. This is a small nickname that has been used to refer to Nadine for many years.
"Don't call me horsetail again; if you do, be careful; I'll fondle your body, he-he." Nadine threatened while putting her hand under Gilang's shirt to make her point.
"Horsetail, drive, or walk?" Gilang called Nadine a horse braid on purpose, and Nadine's face immediately turned sullen while hugging Gilang's body tightly in the yard.
"Do I have to demonstrate my crazy action?" Nadine inquired as she slipped her hand beneath Gilang's shirt, and Gilang smiled without remorse. "Let's get in the car; tomorrow morning we can use my car to go to work," he said, kissing Nadine's forehead. Gilang advised them to put an end to their jokes.
Nadine greets Gilang's warmth with a kiss on the lips, and their actions are observed by Gilang's parents and the housekeeper, who secretly peer through the house window.
Nadine and Gilang were already in the vehicle, and it began to slowly leave the yard a few moments later. The housekeeper smiled and let the vehicle pass through the gate to Nadine's house, which was only a few meters away.
When Nadine returned home, she was surprised to see her mother sitting on a chair on her front porch. Nike approached Nadine with a cynical expression on her face. Nadine's presence with Gilang does not satisfy her.
"It's really inappropriate for you to be in a relationship with a driver, you slut!" Nike mocked Nadine, who had just arrived at the porch.
Nadine smiled as she opened the door and invited Gilang in, oblivious to Nike. Nike's face is filled with rage as he observes Nadine's impolite behavior toward him.
"Hey, it's pointless for you to wear the hijab if you don't respect your parents!" exclaimed Nike as he followed Nadine into the opulent home.
"Hi! You have to know yourself, don't you? The mother is not responsible and instead tries to counsel the children. Ms. Nike, try to be honest with yourself! Sorry, but you need to leave this house!" Nadine wasn't thinking clearly when she spoke.
Gilang grabbed Nadine tightly and said softly near Nadine's ear, "Please don't continue this; she is your own mother." Gilang's expression of emotions made Nadine realize that the pain of her childhood was reflected in her words.
Nike became angrier. "I swear I will ruin your life; remember that!" Nike exclaimed, pointing a vengeful finger at Nadine's face. She took her smartphone from her shoulder bag and took photos of Nadine and Gilang's faces without explaining why.
Nike quickly left Nadine's house with a disappointed expression, while Gilang and Nadine appeared perplexed as to why Nike had taken a photo of the two of them.
Nike had left Nadine's house, and Gilang appeared concerned. "It appears your mother is vengeful; you must take care of yourself." Gilang invited Nadine to sit on the sofa for a while. Nadine wiped her tears away, then covered her face by pressing her head against Gilang's chest and hugging him tightly.
"You want to look after me?" Nadine asked in a sobbing voice.
"It will not be me who will always protect you, but Allah, who will be your protector. I only serve as a go-between, "Gilang said while lovingly combing Nadine's hair.
"I understand that God determines our fate, but at least in this world, you are my protector." Nadine responded by raising her head and kissing Gilang on the lips.
She is swept away by a fiery passion for love in the peace and silence of Nadine's home. Nadine kissed Gilang's lips passionately, as if she didn't care about their need to breathe. She also used his hands to probe Gilang's sensitive areas, but Gilang quickly rejected Nadine's attempts to shake his faith.
Nadine smiled as she finished the kiss. She was not offended by Gilang's rejection. "Would you mind accompanying me to the room?" Nadine offered while standing up and holding Gilang's hand. Gilang agreed without hesitation to enter Nadine's room.
"I still have Daddy's sedative; I'll use it." That was the plan hinted at in Nadine's invitation to Gilang, and they walked hand in hand towards an opulent room.
Within the confines of the room…
"Please sit for a moment; I will make you a drink," Nadine said, motioning Gilang to his bed. "Fine," Gilang replied, smiling, "but don't take too long; if it's too long, I'll fall asleep."
Please, husband, just sleep. "You can use my room, honey," Nadine said, holding Gilang's cheeks.
"You are also welcome to use my room; in a week, we will become husband and wife," Gilang said, hugging Nadine's waist and lovingly kissing Nadine's stomach.
"You do not tempt me; I will lust while you refuse to serve me." While removing Gilang's face from her stomach, Nadine whined.
"I really want to, but not in the living room. What about having your maid come out and film it?" Gilang claimed that by changing Nadine's facial expression and abandoning her original plan to use sedatives,
"Are you kidding me, baby?" Nadine exclaimed as she squatted down in front of Gilang.
Gilang's eyes blinked. "My father was interrogating me behind the house; he asked me about the two of us while at the villa, and I answered honestly that I had seen the contents of your body, and we had touched. Father became enraged and demanded that I marry you after evening prayer tonight.
"I have a close relationship with your parents; they are devout Christians, and Father has always been faithful to Mother. When Mother accepted me as a member of your family, it made me very happy. "Nadine's eyes welled up with tears.
"My grandfather taught my father strict lessons, and my father wanted me to get an education like that too," Gilang said, holding Nadine on his lap. While hugging Gilang's sister, Nadine smiled. "Marrying quickly will also protect you from the dangers that your mother can cause," she said to Romeo's face, who was continuing his conversation.
"Yes, it's true, dear; to be honest, I was afraid of the oath my mother said," Nadine said with an empty face. She was silent for a moment, remembering her mother's words.
"Now you go take a shower, then dress up as best you can; my mother has prepared the Kebaya Clothes, she used to wear when she married with my father." Gilang interrupted Nadine's reverie.
"Can we take a shower together?" Nadine asked spontaneously with an uncontrollable mind, but Romeo immediately made his mind clear by touching the tip of his nose and saying, "Wait a few more hours until we have married; please be patient." Gilang said he made Nadine laugh without guilt.
"Now, I'm taking a shower. You lie down here," Nadine said as she got up from Gilang's lap. Gilang replied, "Okay, I'm going to sleep first; wake me up when you're ready." Gilang said. Nadine smiled and immediately got out of bed and went towards the wardrobe to take some clothes she would wear to Gilang's house. Her heart is full of happiness when she thinks of the wedding that will take place tonight—an unexpected plan for her.
