Halal Love of the Senior
Happen Again

Sarah's mother was obviously surprised to hear Sekar Ayu's words. He looked at the son-in-law. "What does this mean, Mas Adi?"

"That-that's been a long time, Ma. Please don't listen to Sekar, Ma. I have no relationship with you anymore. I was also surprised to see him here. I've kicked him out, but he still won't go" Adi told her mother-in-law.

"I just want to connect, Mom. There is no other intention" said Sekar Ayu, trying to gain the sympathy of Sarah's mother.

"Stop all your nonsense, Sekar," said Adi. "I've said many times I don't want to have any relationship with you."

"Mas Adi, calm down a little. We can talk about this all right." Sarah's mother tried to calm her daughter-in-law down.

"Ma, we can't talk well together now. He's this stubborn. He once came to my father's house making a fuss until I threw out this selfless woman. Don't ever give her a heart, Ma." Adi looked at her mother-in-law.

"Mama wants to know the problem, Mas," said Sarah's mother.

"We don't have a problem, Mom. Mas Adi alone who considers it a problem," said Sekar Ayu calmly.

"Shut up, Sekar. You have no right to speak here." Adi stared intently at Sekar Ayu.

"Later I'll explain, Ma. The point is she wants to disrupt my household and Adel's, "Adi told Sarah's mother.

"Oh, have the intention to be an actor yes," said Sarah's mother after hearing Adi's explanation. "Honey has a pretty face but his behavior is not good at all."

"It's just a misunderstanding, Mom. I just want to connect the once severed cord of the congregation. No other meaning." Sekar Ayu is still trying to gain the sympathy of Sarah's mother.

"Not Mas Adi has refused, why not just give up? I feel sorry for you" said Sarah's mother.

"Ma, don't eat the sweet talk." Adi reminded Sarah's mother.

"Thank you, Mom. Connecting the harness can extend life, right, ma'am. So, it shouldn't be rejected." Sekar Ayu felt a fresh breeze from Sarah's mother.

Sarah's mother smiled at Sekar Ayu. "No need to thank me. I feel sorry because you have no self-esteem at all. Begging attention to the married man, who soon wants to be a father. Do not close your eyes and heart. There are still a lot of good men out there you can get."

"What's? Mas Adi wants to be a-yah?" asked Sekar Ayu with a surprised look.

"Yes. My wife is pregnant with my son now. You've disrupted our lives enough, Sekar. Go, don't embarrass yourself" cried Adi.

Sekar Ayu shook his head many times. He did not believe what he heard. Adi, the man of his tribe, will soon have a child from his wife.

"You must be lying, right, so I don't go near Mas Adi anymore?" Sekar Ayu did not want to believe.

"What do we lie. It's no use. Please leave this house and never come back here again" Sarah's mother said.

"Don't disturb our child's household. Or we'll take legal action if you still bother them." Sarah's mother warned Sekar Ayu.

Suddenly the door of the house opened, Arsenio appeared from inside the house.

"Mama, just go inside. Let me drag this woman to the police station if she doesn't want to go" Arsenio said.

"Okay, I'll go." Sekar Ayu finally gave up. He didn't want to deal with the police. Both of his parents would be angry with him if they found out about it.

With a look of annoyance, Sekar Ayu left Adi's house. He walked quickly to his car without looking back. After getting into the car, he turned the direction and drove the car out of the housing cluster.

"Kok he can come back here again anyway, Mas?" arsenio asked as soon as Sekar left the three of them.

"Well, did he come here, Dek?" Sarah's mother asked her youngest son.

"Yes, Ma. When I arrived, he was sitting on the terrace. I'm suspicious because Ma'am didn't open the door. And he asked this Mas Adi's house, right? I just answered the wrong address. Keep him away from home" explained Arsenio.

"Have he been home long?" ask Adi.

"It was not long after that Mas Adi came home" replied Arsenio.

"Maybe it's a breath in front. He saw my car keep following me" Adi said.

"It could be, Mas."

"Yes, the important thing is that he's gone. Now we go in, pity Adelia herself inside." Sarah's mother invited them into the house.

"Yes, Ma" Adi and Arsenio said. They followed Sarah's mother into the house. Not forgetting to lock the door.

"Mamaaaa" cried Adelia as she spread her arms to welcome the mother.

Sarah's mother smiled broadly at her daughter who looked cheerful despite having to continue sitting together. She approached Adelia and hugged her daughter.

"Mom, have you eaten?" mother Sarah asked after breaking their arms.

Adelia shakes. "Not yet, Ma."

"By buying your favorite grilled chicken. We eat together." Sarah's mother stroked Adelia's head.

Adelia nodded. "Yes, Ma. But, I want Zuhur first. It wasn't salat because of sleep, Arsen kept coming."

"Mama has not prayed either. We pray first then."

"Yes. Ma."

Adi approached his wife. After performing the ritual greetings and kiss hands, Adi deftly immediately carry his wife to the bathroom to clean themselves and ablution. After that, carry it to the musala so that Adelia can pray with her mother even while sitting.

After Mother Sarah and Adelia prayed Zuhur, they gathered in the dining room to eat together. Surti also ate with them.

Just like this morning, Adelia ate a plate together with Adi. She also asked to be fed to her husband. Despite being teased by Arsenio because of his potent attitude, Adelia was just plain cuek. While Mother Sarah and Mother Surti can understand the attitude of Adelia.

After eating, the four of them gathered in the living room. Adi told Sarah and Arsenio's mother about Sekar Ayu. Regarding the proposal that was rejected until their last meeting at the house of Mr. Wijaya. He did not want any misunderstanding about his relationship with Sekar Ayu.

After hearing the story from Adi, Sarah's mother advised them to temporarily stay at her house. Anticipating that Sekar Ayu will come again, but Adelia refuses. He did not want to lose to Sekar Ayu. Do not let them feel afraid to make Sekar Ayu big head. He wanted to gather evidence in order to report Sekar Ayu to the police.

Although with a heavy heart, Sarah's mother agreed to her daughter's wishes. Do not forget he advised Adelia not to think too much because she was pregnant. Especially now that he has to bedrest.

Sarah's mother didn't come back to the office because she had permission to go home. She chatted with the princess while waiting for her husband who had promised to come to see Adelia and pick her up. While Arsenio returned to campus because there is a schedule of afternoon lectures.

In the evening, Mother Goddess's family came to visit Adelia. Rendra brought a wheelchair that was used by Dita during Umrah so that Adelia could move more freely, not depend on Adi.

Fortunately, Adelia suffered only for one day. Tomorrow, the spots are not out, but Adi asked his wife to keep reducing moving activities. Adelia had to use a wheelchair if she wanted to go anywhere.

A few days later, when Rendra and Dita did the launching of the clothing line with the Ale Wear brand at the Mother Goddess boutique, Adelia also came. In addition to inviting business colleagues and boutique patrons, they also invite orphans at the event.

The launch event went well. Some guests also buy there because there is a 50% discount promo for three days. Although it does not benefit during the promotion period, but it is an effective way for people to get to know the quality of their products. Because if they feel satisfied and happy will definitely buy again and recommend to others.

The night after the launch event, their extended family with boutique and cafe employees, dined together at a restaurant. That as a form of gratitude has run the new business Rendra and also celebrate the age of Dita. Hasna's mother specifically made a tumpeng-shaped pudding with pieces of fruit around her for the youngest princess.

Furthermore, Mr. Wijaya led a prayer together. Only then Dita cut the tumpeng pudding with the help of Rendra. The first piece she gave to her husband, then to the mother, then her mother-in-law. After that Dita chopped again and distributed to others until all get pudding and fruit. After dividing the pudding and fruit, they began to eat dishes that had been served by the restaurant.

The atmosphere of the dinner was full of familiarity. There is no boundary between superiors and subordinates, all blending into one. The emperor who happened to be off duty was also there. He was of course sitting next to Shasha, his future wife. Although almost every day communicate, but they can not meet every time.

"So when will the Emperor be inaugurated?" ask Mr. Lukman who likes to tease the two brides-to-be.

The Emperor smiled at Mr. Lukman. "God willing after Lebaran, Om. The date is but still not decided. Please pray that everything will be carried out" replied the Emperor.

"Aamiin," said everyone there.

"This Emperor is busy, Mr. Lukman. Hopefully later after Lebaran can be a little loose," said Mother Goddess who understands the busyness of her prospective daughter-in-law.

"Don't be too busy Mas Emperor, later Sister Shasha was dragged by people," teased Mr. Lukman.

"Yes, I'm turning back, Om," the Emperor replied with a laugh.

"Father is strange, besides who would dare to attack his future wife Pak Kapolda. It can be brushed, can't it, Mas Kai." Sarah's mother responded with a joke.

Everyone laughed at Sarah's mother's jokes. The emperor laughed too. While Shasha blushed her face because she was embarrassed to be the object of conversation.

"Have you been to a premarital trial, Emperor?" ask Sarah's mother.

"Never, Aunt. Still waiting for the trial schedule. File is in. The trial is usually several people at once. So, it may still be waiting for someone to register again" replied the Emperor.

"Oh, Auntie thinks once registered can go directly to the hearing," said Sarah's mother.

"Not necessarily, Aunt. If by chance many who have registered can quickly hear the trial. But there are also those who have to wait for months" the Emperor explained.

"If the wedding plan runs out, there are still a few months, so you can calm down. Sister Shasha, can't you wait?" Sarah's mother turned to Shasha.

"Yes, Aunt. I'm also relaxed, not in a hurry" Shasha said, smiling at Sarah's mother.

The conversation continues in a family atmosphere. Throw jokes at each other and share stories.

After eating, Adi invited the Emperor to speak together.

"Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy, Di," the Emperor said after the two of them.

"Love, Kai. Hopefully Shasha will also get pregnant soon after you get married. But you're not DP first, are you?" joke Adi.

"Fuck you, Di. I'm the type who likes that." The emperor punched his best friend's arm.

Adi laughing. "Who knows you've changed, Kai."

"I was single for life before proposing to Shasha" the Emperor said.

"You know for yourself, I'm waiting for your sister to finish college, but it's the same Rendra first." Emperor laughs.

"Yes, I'm just kidding, Kai. I know you're still a high-ting virgin." Adi again mocked the Emperor.

They both laughed together.

"Kai, a few days ago Sekar came home," Adi said after they stopped laughing.

Emperor frowning. "Dark? Seriously, Di?"

Adi nudging. "Yes. Even when Mama-in-law and Arsenio go home." Adi took a long breath.

"Well, how do you go?" the Emperor asked curiously.

"Sekar ngajak mama acquaintance. So it's pissed me off that she confessed my first love."

"It is true that Sekar was your first love" said the Emperor.

"Yes. But, if people do not know the problem, then they can misunderstand. I could be considered still related to him. Good thing you didn't misunderstand me after I explained."

"Thank God then. How do you want to go, Di?"

"Can I make a report?" ask Adi.

"You have evidence to report no? I told you that there's no evidence, it's hard, Di."

"CCTV footage just fits him into the house."

Emperor shakes. "That's not enough, Di. If there is a recording of the conversation, video or written evidence there is a new threat can go forward. If Restu used to be, you have plenty of evidence from the messages sent, so it's easier."

"If Sekar comes again, if you need to video or record all the words he made evidence," suggested the Emperor.

"It's not hard to drag him."

"Yes, Di. Moreover, there is no hard evidence. If there used to be an article of unpleasant deeds, but now the article has been removed" explained the Emperor.

"If now it is usual to use the article of threat or coercion," continued the Emperor.

"I feel sorry for Adel, Kai. Especially if she is pregnant young. I'm afraid he's in the mind, continuing to influence the content."

"If I see Adel stronger now. Because of course he learned from the experience of Restu's case. You're the one who has to keep convincing and encouraging him."

Adi nodded, agreeing with what his best friend said. "Yes, Kai. Adel even said not to lose with Sekar. Don't even make a big head because we are afraid of him. Not that I'm afraid of Sekar, but I'm afraid of my wife's psychic condition."

"Yes, I know, Di. Moreover, Adel is pregnant, her emotional condition must be more unstable. But you also have to trust Adel, if he is, you two can get through this." The Emperor patted his best friend on the shoulder.

"Yes, Kai. Thanks for the input."

After they finished talking, they rejoined the others.

They ended dinner when the wall clock showed at 09:00 p.m. As soon as the event ended, the employees one by one went home. Do not forget they also congratulate Dita who is having a birthday.

After all the employees went home, Mr. Lukman's family also paid their way home. There are still the family of Pak Wijaya and also the Mother Goddess who is waiting for Rendra to pay the bill that night. Ale had already slept soundly in the stroller after being carried by his yangti. She was not fussy even though both her parents were busy today.

Tonight, Rendra, Dita and Ale stay at Adi's house. The routine that every Pak Wijaya and Ms. Hasna did was to stay there.

They all went straight into the room after arriving at Adi's house, because they felt tired after a day of activity.

Adi cleans up first, while Adelia prepares a nightgown for her husband. After Adi came out of the bathroom, Adelia came in to clean up. How shocked Adelia was when she saw there was more blood in her loincloth.
