HATE Before LOVE
Dinner

The night before, after the romantic bed activity of the newly married couple, the two are now preparing to go to Ardan's parents' house.

Mama Hanna had warned them to come for dinner together, because after the reception day and the kidnapping incident that time, they had not had time to gather with Mama and Papa. Although Ardan is actually very reluctant to leave, he hastily finished his work in the office to be able to linger and romantic with his beloved wife, but when she got home Elif told Mama Hanna to ask them to have dinner together.

"Don't be lethargic, dear" Elif said as he tried to tie his brekele hair but was very liked by the man of Turkish blood.

Ardan's hair was still a mess even though he was fully dressed. He threw himself on the bed, idling.

Elif finished with her hair and walked over to Ardan. She tried to pull her husband's hand to get up.

"Come why the hell would you want to go to Mama's house even lazy?"

"It's okay, just want more."

"God! Just finished two rounds ago." Half-Elif glared at his eyes.

The man chuckled instead.

"Come on, wake up, it's not good for Mama and Papa if we're late."

Finally with all persuasions, Pak Husband can be eager to get up from the mattress after being given intake of vitamin C aka kiss. Duh!

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Ardan and Elif arrive at Ardan's parents' house, which has become the scene of their sweet marriage. Hanna had been waiting for the arrival of her daughter and daughter, she always looked fashionable even though only family dinner. But his appearance is like going to dinner with colleagues of top models.

"Sorry Ma we are a bit long" Elif said as he hugged his mother-in-law.

"It must be your husband who is lazy." Hanna Cibir.

"Lho do you know? Mama sent a spy to my apartment?" Replace Ardan who hugged his mother.

"There's no need to use any spy, you're out of Mama's stomach, so Mama knows very well how you are."

"Hehehe, you're the best Mom. MUACH!" Ardan gave a kiss on Hanna's cheek that made Hanna scream in annoyance, because it would ruin her makeup. But Ardan did not care and continued to wander toward his Papa.

"How, success?" papa asked as the two men of different generations hugged. The question that people will think if Papa is questioning about business, but not.

"Success, Pa!" Ardan lifted his thumb.

They laugh too.

Dinner began shortly after a little chat, and at dinner, small talk filled the dining table, the atmosphere was so warm and cozy. Until it felt like Elif's heart was so full and deeply moved. He became part of a wonderful and wonderful family but never boasted. He is so grateful and happy for what God has set him, both in the past and the present and the future.

"So, when did you give me your mother and Papa's grandchildren?" ask Hanna.

"Ma, why are you suddenly talking grandchildren?" ask Ardan.

"Why is that why? Kan y'all married, it's halal if you want to have a dozen children as well.

"Yes, but Mama asked me if we want to go straight or not" Ardan said calmly.

Elif frowned.

Same with Papa Demir and Mama Hanna

"Are you planning on delaying a baby?" ask Hanna.

"Are you going to procrastinate?" ask Elif to Ardan.

"Aren't you going to procrastinate first?" ask Ardan.

"Why should it be delayed?" ask Elif back.

"Wait, wait! Why is Papa so confused. Is there anyone among you who wants to postpone momongan?" ask Demir.

"No." replied Ardan and Elif together, making everything even more confused.

"So what does Ardan mean!" Omel Hanna's.

"Wait a minute, so you don't mind getting pregnant?" asked Ardan with widened eyes looking at the wife who was confused by her husband's behavior.

"Indeed I said I minded it or I'm gonna postpone the pregnancy, is that it?"

"Then, what makes you think that?"

"I think you might want to focus on finishing your lecture first" Ardan said, holding Elif's hand.

"Why go to college and get pregnant? Kan, it's already married, so it's legal, right?"

"So, you don't mind going to college pregnant?"

"Absolutely not. Many couples who struggle to get a baby quickly, if God gives us directly, why should it be a problem? Should be very grateful. Why even postpone the fortune?"

"Aaaaaakk I love you so so so much, baby!" Ardan immediately hugged his wife, not uncomfortable at all with Mama and Papa who became the audience holiness himself. Smell Elif's face to Elif who resuscitated Ardan where they are today.

"Ah Elif, ah, it's fitting that this Mama's son is crazy about you."

They also laugh at each other. Pentawai Ardan more precisely, but Ardan did not care, he was getting bucolic and increasingly fond of his wife.

"So, where are you going to continue your studies, son?" ask Papa.

"It's like at the college I've been to before, Pa. The distance is not too far away, and I'm used to the rules there." replied Elif.

"Not Ardan said he had chosen famous campuses abroad, huh?" ask Hanna.

"Yes Ma, but I don't want to go abroad."

"Why?"

"I don't think I can be far from Mama and Papa's son." replied Elif, making Ardan sit up straight puffing his chest while playing his eyebrows up and down.

"You're this, make that kid big-headed, look!" Hanna pointed at Ardan with a fork in her hand.

After dinner, continue with casual chats between father and son in the back garden gazebo with two cups of coffee. Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were by the pool with fresh dragon fruit juice. While enjoying the night the two camps discussed two different things.

"How did Papa survive this long with Mama?" ask Ardan. "Because Ardan believes there are so many differences between Papa and Mama" Ardan said.

"Of course there are a lot of differences between us. So much so that Papa was confused where to start" Demir said casually as he chuckled.

"Then how did Papa survive? Because love?"

Instead of answering, Demir laughed. "You want to know a secret?"

Ardan raised one eye eyebrow. "Confidential?"

Demir nodded. He sipped his coffee, then looked back at his son. "When you're married to your mother, you don't actually love her."

"What?" Ardan glared in shock, but Demir chuckled at the reaction of his son.

"We didn't love each other at the time. Because you see how much difference there is between us."

"Then now?"

"Now? Hmmm, I guess if there wasn't Hanna, Papa wouldn't be able to survive, you know, like losing a soul without Hanna. Just imagining Hanna leaving makes Papa scared like crazy."

"Wow, how can you finally accept all the differences?"

"Pathlete." replied Demir. "If you always see the difference from a negative angle of mind, you will not find any comfort. But if you change it, you'll know the difference is a beautiful thing. Like rainbows. It has a different color because it's beautiful, but if the rainbow only has one color will it be beautiful?" Demir shakes. "It will look ordinary and boring for a long time."

"If your mindset is positive, your heart will automatically be positive and loving."

Ardan nodded in understanding.

"Don't let the emotions pollute your heart and mind. There will be times in the household that you will find stumbling blocks, but don't let the stone just make you fall."

"Communication is very important, never be shy to ask your wife for any questions that bother you, never assume for yourself, because sometimes what you see is not what you see. Like at the dinner table. If you assume for yourself, there's just a misunderstanding."

Ardan hugged his Papa tightly, "Thanks, Pa, this conversation means a lot to me."
