God's Choice of Mate
Aunt Lilis

The Author Point Of View

Until nightfall Shafa still doesn't want to talk to Rayyan. He also went on hunger strike for the first time. After praying Isya he chose to watch a movie on his laptop. Tonight Shafa feels so cold that he has to wear a long hoodie and training pants complete with a mask.

In the dining room, after dinner Rayyan did not immediately go up to the room because aunt Lilis invited her to talk.

"Rayyan, aunt apologizes for what happened this afternoon" said Aunt Lilis. The incident in question was when he saw Shafa kedapur with minimal clothing.

"Aunty need not apologize, Shafa was aja who was late" replied Rayyan. He would never blame much less be disrespectful to Aunt Lilis.

"Rayyan, instead of aunty willing to interfere with your household problems, but according to aunty you need to be hard with your wife" said Aunt Lilis.

"I mean auntie?" Ray was astonished to hear his tantic speech.

"I mean your aunt don't spoil her too much, so she's not stubborn. You're the head of the Ray family, you're the one who should follow his words instead of him. Do not always obey his will. Aunty see you are too obedient to your wife, even you are also now away from your sister"

"I mean aunt Yola? Ray does not stay away from Yola aunt, it's just that lately Ray has a lot of busyness on campus" said Rayyan, he felt very bad for Aunt Lilis because he considered her to stay away from Yola. Although actually he was a little shy because of Shafa's jealousy.

Rayyan went up to her room while thinking about Aunt Lilis saying.

Is it true I'm spoiling Shafa too much. But lately I feel like he's starting to act weird.

Rayyan went into the room. He found Shafa who was busy watching on his laptop.

"Darling... Are you wearing rich gini clothes?" Rayyan approached his wife. It's strange to see that the usual open-air so wear clothes like being in the north pole.

"Cold" he said briefly. Rayyan sat next to him while embracing his shoulder.

"Shafa still craves?" He asked but did not respond to Shafa.

"Honey, sinful if her husband asks then in silence or ignored" said Ray made Shafa immediately turn around. Shafa is most afraid that Ray has spoken of sin.

He looked at Ray's face without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, huh? It's already snapped Shafa" CUP! Rayyan kissed Shafa's forehead and grabbed him. Shafa did not refuse. He felt a great comfort every time Ray hugged him.

"Dimaafin" Shafa said.

"Now eat yuk! Shafa hasn't eaten yet" Ray persuaded.

Eat meatballs in front of yuk mas, which is near the kamling post" he said. Suddenly he imagined a meatball with a lot of sauce. Until he made her swallow several times.

"Kok tumben want to eat meatballs?" Ray astonishment. Shafa avoids foods that use MSG.

"Again cold mas, want to eat the soup" he said. Take a black pasmina and directly wear it without using a safety pin.

"Dibenerin used to be her veil. It had its neck still visible" Rayyan pointed at the part of the neck that was not perfectly closed.

"Yes-yes" He immediately took a safety pin and buttoned it. Almost a month this Shafa also began to get used to wearing a veil when out of the house even though the veil is perfunctory.

Rayyan and Shafa walk hand in hand looking for a meatball seller who usually hangs out near the guard post about 100 meters from his house.

"Assalamualaikum mr. lecturer" said one of the middle-aged men who seemed to be watching.

"Greetings from Edi"

"Where are you, sir?" Ask one of the other men.

"You want to buy meatballs sir, you want to come along?" Tawar Rayyan's. He was quite familiar with the people around him.

"Yes sir I treat" he said. They also ordered meatballs.

"That I have a lot of meatballs, yes, keep the meatballs in the meatball skewers large in the bowl" Pinta Shafa at the meatball seller. Ray just shook his head at his wife's request.

"Ga need to use mi istant ya mang" Imbuh Ray. He will not let Shafa eat instant noodles that contain a lot of preservatives.

"I have noodles, I'm just a mang" said Mr. Edi with a cry.

After being satisfied eating meatballs Shafa and Ray returned to their home.

"Mas, tomorrow I want to meet Nisa. She's been home since last week" she said, swinging her husband's hand.

"Oh yeah? How's he doing?"

"His husband doesn't care anymore. My mother was also very angry. Because from the beginning they did not agree Nisa married her husband. But Nisa insisted because she had been obsessed with Middle Eastern men and their noses high" said Shafa, who already knows about her friend.

"That's why it's the parents' blessing that is the main thing in building a relationship. Because that is where the Ridho of God comes from. So love is not the main guarantee of the durability of a relationship" Ray said as he embraced his wife's shoulder.

"We're rich, right? Although it did not start with love, but in the end we can love each other" Shafa hugged Rayyan's waist while walking.

"Where are you from?" Ask Aunt Lilis as soon as they get into the house.

"Buy meatballs aunty" said Shafa Sumringah.

"Buy meatballs? There's plenty of Ray's food at home. Or is Shafa deliberately unwilling to eat auntie and Yola's cooking?" Ask her.

"Ga tan, Shafa just wants to eat meatballs again" said Shafa.

"Shafa doesn't need to pretend in front of aunty. If Shafa doesn't like us to be here. We're leaving" said aunty Lilis who looked sad.

"Tante...tante said what the hell? We love auntie here, so don't ever think like that. Is it baby?" Rayyan looked at Shafa with a pleading gaze. He knew very well that his wife did not like Aunt Lilis and Yola.

"Yes" Shafa said.

Why the hell was Aunt Lilis always so bad to think of me? What exactly is aunt planning? I never bothered aunty or Yola. But you always try to find my flaws.

"Well, mama why?" Yola ran over to her mother who was still standing with Ray and Shafa.

"Mom why brother?"

"Mom don't papa son, let's go to the room" Lilis said, leaving them both. Rayyan pinched her temple. Why is it all like this?

Without saying a word, the two of them entered the room. Shafa immediately changed his clothes in sleeping pajamas. He then approached Rayyan who was pensive. Shafa lays his head on Ray's lap.

"Mas, or am I staying at Mommy's house?, Aunt Lilis seems uncomfortable with Shafa"

"Mas isn't going to be! Never involve parents in our household problems Shafa" he said, rubbing Shafa's head.

"How should I go?"

"Effort to receive aunt Lilis and Yola with iklas. Throw away your negative thoughts towards Yola. In any case they are my family Shafa" Rayyan's words sounded so flat.

So now you're turning me on? If only Yola hadn't teased you and Aunt Lilis hadn't always cornered me I would have accepted them without you even asking!

"Mas ask me to accept them. Can they accept me? I saw how Aunt Lilis was pointing me yesterday" said Shafa with anger ready to explode.
