Dino entered the room. He choked and swallowed his saliva when he saw Rere drying her hair. The woman who had given him a child had just finished taking a bath. Rere only wears a kimono towel that is above the knee length. Dino could see Rere's flawless skin. He can even avert his gaze from her, even his lips curled into a hopeful smile.

Rere himself was engrossed in the mirror until she realized a man was looking at her intensely. She caught Dino's reflection in the mirror.

​​

"Can you knock on the door first, before you enter the room?" Rere scolded, as she took her clothes and went to the bathroom. She wasn't used to changing clothes in front of Dino yet.

Not long after, Rere came out of the bathroom. She was already fully clothed.

"Start from today, knock on the door before entering." Rere nagged at Dino again.

"You are the wrong one. Why isn't the door locked? You just close the door. Although, I don't think there is a problem if I see your naked body. I'm your husband. So, everything was okay." Dino said as he sat on the bed.

"You're a fake husband," replied Rere by turning his face the other way.

"Fake husband?" Dino got up from the bed and dragged Rere against the wall. Dino then restrains Rere's movement by holding Rere's hand above her head. Dino brought their faces closer. Rere looked away, unable to meet Dino's eyes. The man was angry at her words.

"Do you do this to all women?" Rere said as soon as she found the courage to speak. Even though she couldn't look into Dino's eyes, she had to speak. She doesn't want to look frail in front of Dino.

"What do you mean? I only do this kind of thing with you." Dino brought his face closer to Rere. He did it to intimidate his wife.

"You're doing this to suppress women." Rere started to get emotional as her breath got irregular. She wanted to get out of Dino's grip, but the man's hand gripped her hand tightly. Dino brought his lips closer to kiss Rere. Dino would teach her a lesson through kissing knowing Rere didn't like to be touched by him.

"Don't you dare to kiss me!" Rere gave a warning.

"Why?"

"I will kick you if you do that."

Dino laughed before he looked closely at his very beautiful wife. She was a tall woman with pale white skin. Her pink lips and sharp nose accentuated her beautiful face. What man wouldn't fall for such beauty? Dino was even grateful to have a child and married Rere even though the child was born out of wedlock.

"Why did you act like a barbarian girl? Where is the calm and elegant Rere?"

"You made me like this."

"You need to call me honey since you're married to me."

"No," replied Rere quickly.

"Otherwise I'll KISS YOU."

"You!" Rere almost exploded as she feels her anger grow. She firmly clenches her hand into fists.

"Why do you get angry every time we get close?"

"I don't like being close to you. You didn't keep your promise, you liar."

"Which promise?"

"You kissed me on our wedding night."

"It's your own fault. Why are you nagging? I only did that so you stop nagging."

"Dino." Rere was annoyed, stomping on the floor. She pushed Dino as hard as she could and almost made Dino fall from staggering. Rere used the opportunity to escape Dino's grasp.

"You are so childish," Dino said quietly and smiled.

"I am childish. Did you regret your decision on marrying a child?" Rere tried to provoke Dino with his own words.

"I am not." Dino calmly shook his head and smiled before he continued, "Even though you are a child, you have given me a handsome boy. I want one more child. I want a daughter from you," Dino whispered as the man's lips formed a smile.

Dino's smile made Rere feel cold and nauseous. "You are annoying."

"Don't scream. Then they'll think I am in the middle of taking your chastity."

"Do not be crazy. I'm not a virgin anymore."

"Aren't a woman who hasn't been touch for a long time is no different than a virgin?" Dino was quick to tease his wife. He doesn't know why those words impulsively came out of his mouth. Dino was sure that Rere would be angry at his words.

"Please think before you say anything." Rere then ignored Dino and sat on the bed. She did not want to argue anymore.

Dino tries to approach Rere but Rere immediately shifts away from the man.

Feeling happy, Dino moves closer to her wife and Rere moves away, again. Rere almost fell because she was finally on the edge of the bed, but Dino quickly grabbed his wife's arm so she didn't fall to the floor.

"This is a normal conversation between husband and wife," Dino said with triumph in his voice.

"That's other normal married people, not us."

"Why?"

"Why do you keep asking me questions?" Rere scratched her head. She ran out of patience to deal with Dino's behavior. On one hand, she found the man to be so mature but when he was with her, she found him annoying and a little perverted.

"Mommy dear, please don't be like that with Baba," Dino said, holding back a laugh. He deliberately calls Rere 'Mommy' and refers to himself as 'Baba' since Hanin and Leon called him 'Baba'.

"Why did you call me mommy?" Rere didn't like it when Dino called her like Leon.

"Just get used to it. If I call you by your name, Leon and Hanin will call you Rere. So I will call you Mommy," replied Dino smiling.

Dino's smile made Rere even more disgusted and annoyed.

"When do we leave this place?" Rere changed the subject.

"Why, mommy?"

"Don't call me, mommy. I do not like it."

"I like to call you Mommy."

"I'm not your mother."

"You are the mother of my children."

Rere was annoyed that Dino was teasing her. Hanin can call her Mommy but not Dino. Sometimes Rere cursed Dino, why did he have to be Dila's cousin? If Dino had not been Dila's cousin, perhaps they would not have met and married. KL left a scar that brings her nightmares, but it was also the place where she met her son's father.

Rere was silent, she was tired of responding to Dino as she busied herself tidying up their dirty clothes. The more she responds to Dino, the more the man will tease her. Rere knows if her husband is a flirt and likes to tease her. She expects Dino to be calm and quiet like Dila, but her guess was wrong. The two of them sat quietly on the bed. Dino folded his arms as he watched his wife. The ringing of the phone caught their attention. Rere immediately answers her ringing phone. Rere's eyes widened when she found Bara's name as the caller.

"Who?" Dino asked

"Bara," Rere said, pressing the answer button on the phone screen. "Yes, brother."

"Are you with Dino?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Turn on the speakers so Dino could hear my voice."

Even though she disliked it, Rere turned on the speaker.

"There will be a farewell party for my best friends tonight. You guys have to come. We're partying on a cruise ship." Bara said.

"Okay Bar."

"I can't come," Rere cut in quickly.

"Why?" Bara's tone shows his dislike of Rere's refusal. "You must come."

" I want to clean up. I want to sleep with the kids. I miss them."

"You are making too many reasons. I don't accept excuses. The children have been taken care of by Lala's mother and aunt."

"Brother," Rere gritting her teeth at her annoying brother.

"I'm going to pinch your ear if you refuse. Just prepare your husband's clothes."

"I am tired," Rere replied, suppressing the irritation in her voice.

"Syarena_______" Bara growled in annoyance.

"Yes, I will come," Rere quickly replied as she heard the change in Bara's Voice. She was afraid to hear that kind of tone from her brother.

"Great, what an obedient little sister you are. I Love you, dear," said Bara teasing her sister.

"Stop saying that you love my wife." Dino interrupted. "I am the only person who can say such a thing to her."

"It's only been two days since you became a husband and you have become very possessive," Bara quipped.

"Please know your place, Bar," Dino said while laughing.

"I will be waiting for both of you. Do not be late."

"You really scared at Bara." Dino laughed at his wife when Bara hung up the call.

"Don't smile."

"Are you afraid that I will charm and bewitch you with the attraction of a handsome widower?" Dino smiled. If Rere got angry when he smiled, then Dino would like to smile as often as possible in front of his wife. "I was wrong. I'm not a widower anymore. Are you afraid of being ensnared by your husband's charm?" Dino repeated the question.

Rere didn't answer him and instead walked away from Dino.
