After Marriage
Evasively
“I cried all night because I met Mama Erin again in the bathroom. And I'm not bickering again with him,” said Anha made up a story. After that Anha put the cup containing her tea on the small table in front of them.
Is it okay to lie a little? It's not that Anha doesn't want to be honest. The current Anha only wanted to avoid trouble. The answer is better than if Anha is honest then the problem will be even more grim.
Hasan looked to the side. Staring at Anha in disbelief. Right, right, the worry was last night. Hasan suspected that one of the reasons Anha was crying was because she met her father-in-law.
Know so last night Hasan accompanied Anha alone to the bathroom.
“Tau that I just temenin you just time to the bathroom, An.”
Anha shook her head.
“No papa, really. It has passed, yes, justin aja.”
“But yesterday he said anything to you to make you cry like that?” todong Hasan curiously asked for an answer.
Anha closed her eyes for a moment. The introductory session begins. Hasan knew she was crying because Mama Erin had gotten this big. Especially if Hasan knows the real cause of Anha crying is Ikram, it could be worse.
“Yes, don't say anything. Just insulting me I was like that yesterday.”
“Tap—”
“Udah, yes. Don't discuss it again. I'm not in the mood to talk about people like that,” said Anha trying to divert the conversation.
Trying to keep Hasan from offending him again. Hasan finally fell silent and nodded. Then hold the fingers of Anha to the left.
Now they are both equally silent, only the sound of the legs of a child who is currently playing hide and seek. And the wind and sun are starting to feel a little hot. Fortunately, this terrace is still shady.
Hasan. Why did Anha ask him that? Hasan was in love with Anha.
“Love, lah. Why why?”
“Ngak papa, anyway. Kan, you know a lot about me. About my ex-husband and my ex-in-law. I thought you were going to back off.”
“Yes, no, lah. Why retreat because of such trivial things. You, yes, you. That's your past with him. Your future, yes, will be the same as mine. Now, that used to not need to be discussed again, ok?” hasan said at length while smiling sweetly at Anha.
“Still Hasan.”
Anha nodded her head and a quick peek at Hasan's cheek made Hasan blush in embarrassment. It seemed like Anha's mood had returned and she was now cheerful again.
“Astaghfirullah, son of this broad daylight kiss in front of the house. Shy to see neighbor knows!” mama's scolding that arrived came inside while carrying a plate containing french fries.
“Aduh, Mom. Pain tau!” said Anha while rubbing her shoulder that was pinched by her mother. Moreover, his pinch was a bit sick as well. Hasan only scratched his head and pura did not know even though shame was also caught by the prospective mother-in-law.
“Eat Hasan. You hunt this aunt's halalin children to free kiss as you like.”
Now Anha and Hasan were silent and ashamed. A red squint appeared on both cheeks. Mama who initially thought Anha and Hasan had a fight last night now felt happy because they already looked good.
“Mama stay to your dalem do not macem macem, yes,” Mama said carefully while narrowing her eyes.
“Iya Yes Ma. There, uh, go. Anha shy to know,” whining Anha to Mama. Mama finally smiled as she shook her head and passed inside.
