Halal Love of the Senior
Open Together

"Mas, later stop by shopping first before going home," asked Dita when they were in the parking lot before leaving campus.

"Nobody said that, honey. I'll be able to take the car with me if I want to shop." Rendra sighed.

"Not much to buy, Mom. I don't want to go to the supermarket."

"Where are you going to the supermarket?"

"The one on Solo Street, Mas." He named one of the supermarkets.

"OKAY. Ready yet? Don't forget to hug my waist."

"Yes, I've, Mas." Dita hugged her husband's waist as usual.

Rendra began to drive his motor sport leaving campus to the supermarket that his wife had mentioned earlier.

Not ten minutes have they arrived. The atmosphere there is still quiet because it is still morning and the supermarket has just opened.

Today's final midterm exam is even. Like his promise to his two best friends that they will open together after the exam is over, therefore Dita shopping for an open event together later in the afternoon.

"Wear trolley what basket, honey?" ask Rendra as soon as they get into the supermarket.

"A big basket, Mom." Dita started to wander around, and Rendra faithfully followed behind her while dragging the red shopping cart.

Dita put a variety of vegetables and fruits into the basket. Then he went to the meat and fish section.

"Mas, please gourami the big 3 yes. Please clean and file, can you?" Dita talked to the salesman who was there.

"Can, Ma'am. Please wait" replied the salesman.

"I shop first another, later come back here."

"Good, Ma'am. Please."

Dita walked back to find other materials.

"Darling, want to cook anything? Don't be too tired." Rendra began to worry about his wife because it seemed like many would be cooked based on the ingredients Dita chose.

"No, Mas. Take it easy, later Bella, Sister Adel help cook really. Nisa said she wanted to come along too." Dita stroked her husband's arm.

After all the ingredients were purchased, they headed to the cashier to pay for the groceries. After that they returned to Adi's house because the open event together will be held there.

After putting and arranging groceries in the kitchen, Dita went into the room to change clothes and rest for a while.

"Would you sleep for a second, honey?" ask Rendra who just came out of the bathroom.

"Yes, Mas. Wake up later if you want to go to the mosque."

"Yes." Yeah."

After performing Zuhur prayer, Dita began to be busy in the kitchen. Rendra helped and accompanied his wife in the kitchen after returning from the mosque.

First of all Dita makes mango pudding as well as vlanya. While Rendra helps peel melons to make drinks and fruit salads.

"Darling, is this not most of the cooking? If fasting will eat only a little." Rendra washed the melon she had peeled.

"Let Bella later brought, Baim same Kak Bara made in the boarding house, Mas. They will" Dita said as she poured the pudding into the mold.

"Mas, that melon is partly shaved, partly cut into small pieces huh." Dita gave instructions to her husband.

"Ready, Honey."

At about 01:00 p.m., Bella and Adelia arrived. They both went straight to the kitchen.

"Well, Brother Rendra is coming here?" asked Bella who was surprised to see Rendra following to the kitchen after opening the door for her.

"I will help my wife from earlier," replied Rendra casually.

"Seriously, Brother? Why not be ashamed to enter the kitchen?" Bella still can't believe it.

"Why should you be ashamed?" ask Rendra back.

"Typically a guy is lazy and anti-entrance in the kitchen," replied Bella.

"And I don't belong to the ordinary group," said Rendra confidently.

"Duh .. I want dong to have a rich husband Kak Rendra who wants to go to the kitchen. Brother Rendra there is no twin? Or that sodara that looks like it?" Bella started saying ridiculous and senseless things.

"Bel, please stop and don't start" said Dita before her best friend became more.

"Sorry, Ta." Bella grimaces shame.

"So, what can I do for you?" Bella approached Dita.

Dita gave Bella the task of cutting fruits to make fruit salad. While Adelia cuts vegetables for capcai. Nisa soon joined them. He helped peel and prepare the seasoning that will be used later.

Rendra left the kitchen, after many helped his wife. He prepared a place for them to gather later. He sidestepped the living room table, then swept and mopped the floor. After that he rolled out the carpet, covering the entire living room floor.

While in the kitchen, they made shaved melon ice mixed with basil seeds and nata de coco, fruit salad, chicken corn soup, spicy sweet sour filet gurami and capcai. Everyone in the kitchen works on Dita's command. They had stopped for a while when Azan Asar reverberated to perform prayers.

At 04:00 p.m., Bara was there. Baim soon arrived. Rendra accompanied Bara and Baim in the living room while waiting for the women to finish working in the kitchen.

"Sir, what time will Mas Adi come home?" tanya Adelia, who since proposed Adi called adek to Dita.

"Maximum 5 o'clock to home, Ma'am. I told you that today you don't have to overtime" replied Dita.

"Maybe in a minute, Ma'am." Dita glanced at the wall clock that showed at 16:30 WIB.

"Why, Ma'am? Kangen huh?" dita Goda.

Adelia did not answer just smiling in shame.

"Dit," call Baim.

"Yes, why, Im," said Dita.

"That's a girl, who?" Baim pointed at Nisa with his chin.

"Nisa, Mas Rendra's sister. Wh why? Want acquaintance?" dita Goda.

"No, I'm afraid of Rendra." Baim shook his head.

"Ah .. cemen you, Im," ledek Dita.

"My husband is scary, right? Mas Rendra is handsome with his face, the proof is that many are interested. The look is also ordinary not a rich rich thug." Dita cringing.

Baim. "It's not a matter of face, but ah .. You won't understand, Dit."

Dita smiled mockingly. "Where do you want to get a wife if you're so cool."

"I'm not happy, Dit." Baim defended himself.

"Try proof!" challenge Dita.

"Mas Rendra, here," called Dita to her husband who was chatting with Bara.

"Dit, ah you know me, you know" Baim protested in panic.

Dita does not heed Baim, she instead welcomes her approaching husband.

"What's up, honey?" asked Rendra as he sat beside Dita.

"Baim wants to say something, Mas." Dita glanced at Baim while grinning.

Rendra turned to look at Baim. "What are you talking about, Im?"

Baim felt nervous at Rendra's gaze, while Dita held back her laughter looking at Baim's expression.

"Eh ... it .. emmm ... engg ...." Baim could not help his nerves.

"Baim, what the hell are you talking about, honey?" Rendra turned again to his wife.

"Know. He said he wanted to say the same, Mom. It's my turn to meet even the icep." Dita smiled while continuing to hold back the laughter.

Rendra frowned. He knew his wife must be pranking Baim. But, he had no clue as to what.

"So you wanna talk about it?" ask Rendra to Baim.

"Ja .. So, Brother. Emmm ... it .. may I not be acquainted with his sister Kak Rendra." Baim finally spoke despite stammering.

"Well, you want to meet Nisa?" ask Rendra again.

"I .. Yes, Brother." Baim answered, though stammered.

"Nisa, here" call Rendra to her sister.

"What, Brother?" Nisa approached them.

"This is Dita's friend who wants to know you." Rendra pointed at Baim.

"Oh," Nisa turned to Baim.

Baim reached out to shake hands, Nisa greeted him, then they shook hands.

"Dear."

"Sina."

After that, they took off their handshakes.

"I went back there, would you like to talk to Sister Bella." Nisa said goodbye before returning to sit next to Bella.

Dita giggles after seeing Baim get acquainted with Nisa.

"Why are you laughing to yourself, honey?" Rendra was astonished to see his wife who kept laughing.

"It's okay, Mom. Funny look at Baim." Dita still kept laughing.

While Baim looks upset because Dita managed to harass him.

In another corner Adelia was engrossed in chatting with Bara. I don't know what they're talking about. So did Bella and Nisa who from earlier kept talking and laughing together.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Adi, who had just entered from the garage door.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," they replied in unison.

Adi smiled broadly at his future wife who smiled shyly as their eyes looked at each other.

"Mas Adi, keep your eyes on me!!!"
