Halal Love of the Senior
Who Is the Fastest

"Mas, you'll talk later." Hasna's mother held Adi's hand before she headed to the garage to pick up the bike.

"Later after Adel massage in Mbah Suro ya, Bun," said Adi.

"Mother just wants to talk without Ma'am Adel, Mas. We'll talk, all of us catch fish in the pond for a side dish later tonight."

"Ready, Bun. Go with Adel, keep coming home if that's it."

Mother Hasna nudged. "Be careful."

"Yes, Bun. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

Bakda Asar, Adi drove Adelia to the house of Mbah Suro. After chatting for a while with Mbah Suro, Adi pamit went home. In about an hour she'll pick up Adelia.

After Adi got home, Ms. Hasna immediately took him to the backyard where their fish pond was located. Pak Wijaya does keep tilapia and gurami in the pond behind the house to fill his free time.

"Mother, why did you come here?" ask Adi curious.

"Let us talk more freely. You can grab the fish first. Later while cleaning the fish, we talk" replied Hasna's mother.

Adi frowned. It is not usual for the mother to be as closed as she is now. However, as a filial child, he just obeyed the wishes of his mother. He was sure his mother would not do anything bad.

"Where are you going to get the fish, Bun?" Adi has taken the net and is ready at the edge of the pool.

"Take a big gurami. Take two yes, Mas."

"Ready, Bun." Adi began to net the gourami fish and look for a large one, according to the request of the mother.

"It's not big enough, Bun? This power is already the greatest." Adi showed me the catch.

Mother Hasna nodded. "Yes, that's all. One more, Mommy."

Hasna's mother prepared a bucket for the gourami place that had been captured. Adi then put the gourami fish into the bucket. After that he looked for one more fish that was just as large.

After getting two gourami of the desired size, the two of them sat down while chatting in a small saung near the pond. Before that Adi washed his dirty hands and smelled fishy.

"Mother, why the hell do not talk only alone. Don't tell me just 'cause you miss Mas, yeah." Adi started the conversation.

"Aren't mothers supposed to miss the same thing, Mom? Changed already have a wife, already do not want to talk to both mother again." Hasna's mother pretended to be angry.

"That's a damn thing, Bun. Kirain Mommy has never miss the same again Mas." Adi embraced the shoulder of the woman who had given birth to him.

Hasna's mother smiled. "The mother's son, where maybe the mother did not miss. Especially since college has often lived apart. Actually often misses, only mother knows that Mas also has busy."

Adi kissed her round cheeks. "Mother, if the kangen stay say. I will definitely go home. Forgive me for not being fully devoted to mom and dad."

"Mas and Adek, you are both devoted children. You never let us down. You always follow our advice. Mother is proud of Mas also Adek."

"Now you are married and living happily with each other's partners. Seeing you happy, mom and dad are also happy." Hasna's mother looked at her eldest son lovingly.

"Thank you, Bun. Mmmhhh, but Mas wants to know what the hell is going on, Bun?" Adi who was curious about it finally asked the intention of the mother to invite him to talk.

"This morning came here, Mas," said Ms. Hasna.

Adi gasped, his eyes were fiddling. His forehead then frowned. "Wash in here? What's he doing, Bun?"

"Silaturahim said. He also asked when did you come home?"

"Keep Mommy answered what?"

"The answer is not knowing. Mother did not lie because Mother did not know that Mas actually wanted to come here today. Mommy just found out after the adek the phone asked to be made bothok mlanding."

"Keep talking about what else, Bun?"

"He apologized for refusing our proposal. Keep trying to make amends. Mother says there is nothing to forgive and redeem. Mother also explained that Mas now has a wife."

Adi let out a long breath and then exhaled violently. "He was here to bring some souvenirs, Bun?"

Mother Hasna nodded. "Yes, I love Mbok Darmi for his grandchildren. I was a little angry when I found out Sekar was here, Mas. Dad said, I used to refuse outright, now I'm approaching."

"So Mbak Adel also asked the mother about Sekar time to help the mother prepare lunch."

Adi was again surprised to hear his mother's confession. "Adel asked me anything, Bun?"

"Mbak Adel asked if you knew Sekar. Adel's mother also wanted to know how Mas and Sekar's initial story met."

Adi ruffled his hair rough. "Adel still keeps thinking it turns out. I told you to forget about Sekar and not find out about him."

"The woman though she seems fine is not necessarily her heart is also fine, Mas. It was only natural that she felt anxious when someone from her husband's past came. Moreover, Sekar said he still loves, Mas."

"On the one hand, you understand why Adel's mother is like that. Adel's mother once betrayed Restu. Plus Restu who keeps terrorizing you. Even Mas almost wretched because of Restu."

"Now, Sekar also blatantly said he wanted to be a wife, Mas. Ma'am Adel must be afraid of losing, Mas. Although Mbak Adel knows Mas Adi loves him, but in his little heart he still feels afraid. Mother of trauma betrayed and terrorized it must still be felt Adel's mother, Mas. Does Madam Adel still like therapy to relieve her trauma?"

Adi shakes. "Never again, Bun. He said he was okay. So, I believe it too."

"Try another time to ask Ms. Adel therapy again so that her mind and heart are calmer, Mas. Mommy can see that Adel's mother also feels inferior because she is not pregnant. He became more and more insecure. She felt imperfect as a wife, so made her think a no-no. Did Mas ever urge Madam Adel to get pregnant soon?"

"It used to be, Bun, early marriage. When we got married, Adel just got his period. After menstruation it must be her fertile period. Most of them can get pregnant. At that time I was just joking, Bun. Mas also just said hopefully she'll get pregnant soon."

"Mr Adel, keep taking it seriously, don't you?" Hasna's mother looked at her eldest son.

Adi nudging. "Every time he comes the moon must be sad, Bun. He said not to think about children. Mas also apologized for saying she wanted Adel to get pregnant and we had a child."

Hasna's mother pinched Adi's waist.

"Ouch, sick, Bun. What's wrong, Mas?" Adi stroked the part that was pinched by the mother.

"Makanya Mas if you speak carefully. Don't carelessly talk. Especially the same women. Look now as a result, Madam Adel so keep thinking."

"Yes, Bun. I was wrong. I'm sorry about Adel too. Mas until confused must say how else let Adel not keep thinking. Let alone Ale, he's getting to want to have kids, Bun."

"Kasih Mbak Adel motivation and passion continue. There are many things that make Adel like this. Try your holidays for a while rich and Nak Rendra, let your mind fresher, especially Madam Adel."

"Yes, Bun. I'll try to talk to Adel. Unfortunately, he was always at home every day. Come out if you just shop or the same Mas. Play just next door too. Actually Mas does not matter if Adel wants to look for activities outside, but he does not want to. He went to college again, but Adel didn't want to. She said she wanted to stay home so she wouldn't do it, so she could get pregnant fast."

"Yes, follow the will of Mbak Adel. Surely she wants to enjoy her time as a housewife after Restu and her college issues are over."

"Yes, Bun."

"Oh yes, Mas, have to be careful with Sekar. Do not let Mas meet or relate again with him," advised Ms. Hasna before ending their conversation.

"Yes, Bun. I told you I didn't want to be friends with him or be in touch through anything."

"Thank God. I hope what we fear does not happen. Mother and father always pray for the good and safety of Mas and Ma'am Adel. May God always protect you both wherever you are."

"There pick up Adel's mom. It's a pity to wait for the old Mas" Mother Hasna said.

Adi looked at his watch. It's been almost an hour since she left Adelia at Mbah Suro's house.

"Well, it doesn't feel like we've been talking for a long time, Bun. Here bring the fish to the kitchen." Adi brought a bucket containing two gourami fish to the kitchen.

"Let Mas clean the fish after you pick up Adel, Bun. We're preoccupied with chatting so we forget to clean the fish."

"Yes. It's been there to pick up Adel's mother. Mother wants to prepare the spices first."

"Ready, Bun." Adi rushed to pick up the motorbike and picked up his beloved wife.

Once at Mbah Suro's house, it turns out Adelia also just finished massaging. So Adi waited for Adelia to change clothes first while chatting with Mbah Suro. After Adelia got dressed, they brought back leaves to boil and drink every day. Not to forget, Adelia gave money services to Mbah Suro before they left home.

"Where was the massage, Ai? Got any?" ask Adi on the motor that is driving.

"Alhamdulillah is better than yesterday, Mas. It doesn't hurt much anymore."

"Alhamdulillah, the important thing is that Ai feels comfortable."

"Yes, Mas. Uh, what did you catch, Mom?

"Gourami fish."

"That's good. Indeed, what event would you like to cook fish, Mas?"

"The way to welcome the most beautiful daughter-in-law comes dong."

"Mas, uh godain continues." Adelia hit Adi's thigh slowly.

"Lho is right. Try if this beautiful daughter-in-law does not come, surely the mother of cooking is ordinary."

"Mas Adi can talk."

"I'm talking about what it is, Ai."

"Mas Adi" shouted someone from the side of the road.

Adi turned a glance towards the voice that called out without stopping the motor, but he did not see anyone on the side of the road.

"Who, Mas?" Adelia looked back.

"No idea, Ai." Adi shrugged both of his shoulders.

Before long they reached the yard of Pak Wijaya's house. Adi parked the bike next to the terrace while Adelia came into the house. Later that night he plans to take his wife around on a motorcycle to enjoy the night atmosphere in his hometown.

Adi turned his head as soon as he heard the sound of a vehicle entering the yard of his father's house. He was surprised when he saw Sekar Ayu coming with a motorbike. He intended to enter the house when Sekar Ayu called out to him.

"Mas Adi" cried Sekar Ayu.

"It's really my feeling, Mas Adi must be home today." With his leisure, Sekar Ayu approached Adi who was already standing on the terrace.

"Why are you here?" ask Adi ketus.

"Yes want to meet Mas Adi lah," replied Sekar Ayu in a flirtatious tone.

"We have no business, Sekar. You better go home, "Adi said.

"But I have business with Mas Adi. I want to talk," Sekar Ayu reasoned.

"There's nothing we need to talk about." Adi stepped out his legs leaving Sekar Ayu, but unexpectedly Sekar Ayu held his arm.

"Let go, Sekar!!!" Adi stomped hard on the arm held by Sekar Ayu, almost making Sekar Ayu fall when Adi's arm was released.

"What are these storms?" Mr. Wijaya who heard Adi screamed directly out of the house. He was surprised to see his eldest son standing on the terrace with Sekar Ayu.

"Sore, sir," said Sekar Ayu politely.

"Sore, what else is there to do here?" asked Pak Wijaya with a face that was far from friendly.

"I want to talk to Mas Adi, sir," replied Sekar Ayu.

"Speak what? You two have no business so there is nothing to talk about" said Mr. Wijaya.

"But I have business with Mas Adi, sir."

"What business? Adi's got a wife don't bother him anymore."

"Dark, please don't embarrass yourself. There's no point in you coming here or talking to me. I already have Adelia whom I love very much. Don't waste your time on useless things." Adi spoke again.

"But I still love Mas Adi." Sekar Ayu insisted.

"Love Mas Adi or love his treasure." Unexpectedly Adelia came out.

Since hearing Adi's screams earlier, she intended to go out, but she held back because her father-in-law was already with Adi. Finally he just eavesdropped on the conversation from behind the living room door. When Sekar Ayu declared his love for her husband, he could no longer help himself.

"Dad." Adi immediately hugged his wife's waist as soon as he saw Adelia's arrival.

"You don't just talk. I have always loved Mas Adi. My love is greater than your love" said Sekar Ayu confidently.

"Love? Don't make me laugh." Adelia smiled cynically.

"If Mbak Sekar is in love with Mas Adi, you should fight for him. Convince both parents Mbak Sekar if Mas Adi can meet the needs and also make Mbak happy."

"But the truth isn't it? Mbaik Sekar gave up without a fight. Only after Mbak fell and was sick, wanted to find and return the same Mas Adi. Mbak Sekar is selfish, fortunately Mas Adi does not get people like Mbak."

"What do you mean? I don't deserve Mas Adi?" ask Sekar Ayu furiously.

Adelia nodded while smiling mockingly. "Mas Adi deserves better than Mbak Sekar. Don't be too confident, Mas Adi has long moved on from Mbak."

"Less it!!! Because you're his wife means you're better than me, don't you?"

"I didn't say that. Mama herself said. Mas Adi also knew which women were worth fighting for."

Sekar Ayu's white face increasingly looks red. He held all his anger so as not to spill in front of Adi and Pak Wijaya. "You," he growled.

"I why? Am I more beautiful? Am I better? I deserve to be in the fight"

Plakkkkp.
