Halal Love of the Senior
The Unexpected Meeting

Bella and Dita walked out of the academic room after meeting with the guardian lecturer. They consult about the courses they can take in this 6th semester.

"Who's the same now, Ta?" ask Bella.

"Sama Mas Rendra's. I don't know what home is in the store right now. It was Mas Rendra between mama because," explained Dita.

"I want to see Ale. Can you, Ta?" bella Pinta.

"I called Mas Rendra first, again where is his position." Dita took the device from inside the bag. She immediately made a video call with her husband.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bubu," greeted Rendra as soon as he received a video call from Dita. She was seen lying with Ale on the bed, the resting place of Mother Goddess in the boutique.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Baba, Ale. Kangen's the same bubu no, son?" Dita smiled as she waved at the camera.

"Kangen, Bubu. Ale was crying, sulking, not wanting to drink milk with a bottle."

"Continue drinking milk, Mom?" Dita looked worried and felt guilty towards Ale.

"You know what after you reach the cry. Maybe because I'm hungry, so I'm gonna."

"Thank God. Mas, where else is it now?"

"I'm with Ale again in the boutique. Honey, is it over?"

"Here you go, my mom."

"I finished Ale's gear first, just picked it up."

"I'm just like Bella to go there, Mom. Bella wants to see Ale. Can you, Mas?"

"Yes, can. Be careful with Bella. Don't speed up especially if there's a sleeping cop."

"Ready, Brother Rendra," said Bella who was beside Dita.

"I'll close first, Mom. Ale wait bubu yeah, son. Assalamu'alaikum." Dita ended her video call.

"O Allah, the more handsome my son-in-law will be. It's a big Ale now, Ta."

"Well, it's getting bigger, Bel. He drank a lot of milk. You last saw Ale when it did."

Bella nudges. "Yes, Ta. So we're going to your in-laws' boutique, right?"

"Yes, that. Do I have to ride ojol?"

"Eh, no. Can be scolded I'm the same as Rendra later. No longer want to be juiced with Sister Rendra. Spooky." Bella shudders.

Dita laughs little. "Still remember you were juiced with Mas Rendra?"

"I'll never forget my whole life, Ta. Because it was my first experience with men, and the first time you met Kak Rendra."

"Yes-yes. You want to say that you are meritorious," said Dita.

Bella chuckles. "Well that's you know. So Ale can't marry anyone else, should be my son. Think of it as your return as me."

Dita sneering. "Ale's still a baby, far away from you, bell."

"Ck, you're not engrossed, Ta. Always broke my dreams."

"Part of life has to be realistic, Bel. Dreaming can be, but it must be appropriate and accompanied by effort also prayer. Let it not be achieved is not too sick and disappointed."

"Yes, Miss Rendra. Yuk ride." Bella's ready on her matic bike. They then headed to the boutique Mother Dewi which is beside the cafe Rendra.

Arriving at the boutique Mother Dewi, Dita and Bella greeted the employees who were there. They then went upstairs where Rendra and Ale were.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Dita to her mother-in-law who was looking serious at her desk.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Uh, Dita, who's here?" Mother Goddess looked up, turning to her daughter-in-law.

"Just like Bella, Ma." Dita approached Mother Goddess. He kissed the back of his hand before kissing both cheeks.

"Jiang, Aunt." Bella followed the Mother Goddess with reverence.

"Just too, Bella," Mother Goddess replied with her friendly smile.

"Where is Mas Rendra, Ma?" ask Dita.

"There is in the dugout," replied the Mother Goddess as she pointed at the room to rest.

"Yeah, Bubu's home." After hearing Dita's voice, Rendra immediately came out carrying Ale.

Dita smiled seeing the two people she loved coming out. She washes her hands immediately before approaching her husband and son.

"Oeekkk, oh, oh." Ale cried as soon as he heard Dita's voice.

"Ale kangen same bubu yes. Wait a minute, bubu just washed his hands." Rendra tried to calm Ale down.

"How are you, Brother Rendra?" greet Bella.

"Alhamdulillah, fine. When are you coming back here?"

"Your last week, brother."

Rendra nodded at Bella's reply.

Finished cleaning up, Dita salutes Rendra and takes over Ale.

"Ale kangen same bubu yes. Bubu also misses Ale. Sorry, bubu ninggalin Ale." Dita invites Ale to talk after being in her arms. Slowly Ale began to subside his cries. He then asked Ale to joke.

"Ta, can I carry Ale?" ask Bella to her best friend.

"May, but wash your hands first." Rendra answered.

"Ready, Brother." Bella then washed both her hands. After that, he approached Dita who was sitting on the sofa with Rendra and Ale.

"I washed my hands, Brother." Bella showed me her clean hands.

"Ale, carried by Aunt Bella first yes." Dita hands Ale over to Bella.

With a bit of nervousness, Bella carried Ale. Dita confirmed Ale's position in her best friend's arms.

"Hi, Ale. This is Aunt Bella."

Ale looked at Bella who was holding her, before how long she cried.

"Kok Ale even cry anyway." Bella looks disappointed.

"Maybe because you don't know you yet, Bel," said Dita. "But Ale if the same girl is a little hard Bel. If carried by a guy, take him."

"Mmmhhh, like father like son (a child very similar to his father)," muttered Bella.

"Yes clear. Ale is my son" Rendra said confidently.

"Yes-yes. I believe it, sister," said Bella.

"Try you timang-timang, Bel," suggested Dita.

Bella petted Ale following Dita's advice, but Ale kept crying. Dita finally took over Ale back. Ale returned silent after in Dita's arms.

"Ale course you don't want to carry, Bel. Surely he also does not want to be your daughter-in-law," ledek Dita.

"Who's Bella's daughter-in-law, honey?" Rendra frowned, looking at the wife for an explanation.

"Ale said she wanted to be made the candidate of Bella's daughter-in-law, Mas," Dita explained with a small laugh.

Rendra's forehead is getting shriveled. "Huh. I didn't hear wrong, did I, honey?"

"No, Mom."

"Peace, Brother Rendra. I'm just kidding." Bella raised her right hand. The index and middle fingers form the letter V. He was afraid that Rendra would get angry.

Rendra turned to Bella with a flat face, without saying a word.

"Sister Rendra, angry huh? I'm sorry, brother, I was just kidding with Dita." Bella looked at Rendra with a sense of caution.

"I'm not angry, just shocked. Ale is still a baby and has been claimed to be a future daughter-in-law. Speak and walk can not yet," said Rendra flat.

"Don't take it seriously, Mum. Bella was just kidding." Dita also chimed in so that the atmosphere became liquid again.

"Where's the good darling?"

"It's mending here, Mas. You can make kid's corner here. Ale can play here too. The bottom floor is full."

"What clothes, Ta?" ask Bella.

"We want to make a clothing line for boys, Bel," said Dita. "Later brand name Ale."

"Ale's wear, the brand" said Rendra.

"Cool girl. When's the launch, Ta?"

"God willing this month, isn't it?" tanya Dita made sure.

"God willing, it will be on Bubu's birthday" replied Rendra.

"Seriously, Mas?" Dita looked intensely at her husband.

"God willing, birthday gift for Bubu." Rendra shrugged Dita's shoulders.

"Hello, there are still people here" exclaimed Bella who began to be disturbed by the nature of Rendra's bucin.

"Who said statue, too" said Rendra.

"I'll be quiet" muttered Bella. He felt Rendra's attitude turn cold.

"Mas, don't be so dong." Dita reprimands her husband, but Rendra remains indifferent. He was even engrossed in playing with Ale's hands.

"Try asking mom, Mom. Can't if the clothes display is here. Mama's gonna be distracted by her work." Returning to their topic earlier.

Rendra approached the mother and talked about Dita's proposal. The Goddess mother then rose from her seat. He sat on the sofa.

"If you want to be displayed here, you can also. It's also wider, so kids can play. But later it must be ensured safe for children," said Mother Goddess.

"Ready, Ma. Will Mama not be bothered working here?" ask Dita.

"Later mama made a room that is connected to the rest room," replied the Mother Goddess.

"OK, Ma. I'll ask for the size and floor plan, yes, Ma. Let me stick to the design later" Pinta Dita.

"Mommy's room will be closed but limited to glass, so you can still look outside." Dita put out her ideas to redesign her in-law boutique.

"Everything is the same downstairs, let there be refreshment. Can you, Dita?"

"God willing, Ma." Dita smile.

"It's good that Mama has a son-in-law who is an architect, so there is no need to pay for the services of an expensive interior designer" said Rendra.

"Alhamdulillah, my mother also has a capable graphic designer." Mother Goddess smiled widely, looking proudly at her son and also her daughter-in-law.

"Later to find the size and floor plan 1 and 2 so that it can be made immediately. The time is close to launching."

"What kind of concept will you have?" ask Dita.

Mother Goddess expressed the concept that she wanted to make. The four of them were late in the discussion. Bella also contributed to the design, although later that will work on Dita.

Their discussion had paused as Ale cried from the pup and was also hungry. Deftly Rendra replaced Ale pampers. He was not at all disgusted because he was used to it.

Bella could only look at the compactness of Dita and Rendra with envy. In her heart she prayed, wanting to be like the two of them after she got married later. I don't know with anyone.

Their discussion was finished when Azan Zuhur reverberated. Rendra leaves for the mosque, and Bella bails home because at 04.00 pm she has to work in a cafe. Mother Dewi and Dita prayed after making sure Ale fell asleep.

After both prayers Zuhur, Rendra and Dita pamit return home. But before that, they stopped by the cafe. Dita had not come to the cafe for a long time, until she was greeted enthusiastically by employees. If Rendra still occasionally comes, although not routine every week. Ale was also the center of attention, although he fell asleep soundly in the stroller -nya.

Because it was lunchtime, so they were only there for a while. Actually Dita wants to help at the cashier, but Rendra forbids it. He did not want Ale to be seen and touched by many people because he was anxious to see his good looks.

"Darling, what do you want to eat?" ask Rendra after they were both in the car.

"Anything, Mas" replied Dita.

"Well, don't want anything?" Rendra made sure again to his wife.

"Yes, right. I'm no longer craving, Mom."

"Whatever I am this means?"

"Yes, Baba."

Rendra drove the car to a soft bone chicken restaurant on Jalan Kaliurang. After parking the car, Rendra pulled out a stroller for Ale. Dita then put Ale in a stroller after he was carrying it while in the car.

Rendra walked pushing the stroller. Dita held on to her husband's arm as they walked into the restaurant.

After choosing a seat, they ordered food.

"I order chicken presto salted egg, scrambled corn, same ice mix, Mas."

"Presto ducks sambal ijo equal ice cincau young coconut. Same one bottle of mineral water yes, Ma'am," Rendra's message to the waitress who serves them.

"Yes, Sir. Any other additions?" ask the waiter.

"In the meantime, Ma'am. Later if there is an addition, I call again," replied Rendra.

"Good, Sir. I repeat the order." The pramusaji mentioned what menus they ordered. Once confirmed, it is true. He left them.

"Mas, do you come here often?" tanya Dita after the waitress left.

"Several times invited colleagues, dear," replied Rendra.

"Oh, indeed if you meet colleagues or good clients while eating yes," murmured Dita.

Rendra smile. "No need to be jealous, honey. I've never been away with another woman."

"Duh, the habit of ge er. Why am I jealous? It's no use either, Mas" said Dita.

"There's a point, honey. He said that jealousy signifies that we are in love. I'm just jealous when I see another man see my darling."

"That's the name of blind jealousy, Mas," said Rendra.

"Because I've been blinded by your love, dear," said Rendra.

"Oh my God, I get goosebumps hear you say, Mom."

Rendra laughed at his wife's words.

Soon their orders came. They also eat voraciously while occasionally telling stories.

"Dek Dita, right?" ask a woman who suddenly came to their table.

Dita and Rendra turned to the beautiful women with hijabs and body-fitting clothes who were standing next to their tables.

"Yes right, I'm Dita. Sorry, Whose mom is it?"

"The hell you forgot me, Dek," said the woman.

I tried to keep thinking, but somehow it seemed like her memory did not remember the beautiful woman at all. He shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember," she said.

"I'm Sekar Ayu, Dek. Do you remember?"

"Mbak Se-Kar," muttered Dita involuntarily. Fortunately, he was not chewing food, he could choke in shock.

"Yes, right. I'm Sekar Ayu who used to-,"

"Defuse Mas Adi's proposal, right," said Dita without further ado.
