I'm Not an Old Virgin
Chapters 22.8
Today was the day Shin, Norin and the family had to leave Abah's house and boarding house to return to Norin's hometown because Bu Aminah wanted to give thanks at home. Norin hugged Umi Husna tightly and then greeted Abah with tak'jim. Similarly to Shin, he greeted Abah with tak'jim
"I tipped Inay yes son Shin, please never hurt his heart and physique."
"Surely, I'll never hurt her Abah."
Abah smiled." I believe in Shin."
"Then we leave now the train schedule is one hour away" said Rizal.
Then everyone enters the car. Rizal sat in the front seat, Syifa and Bu Aminah in the back seat while Shin and Norin sat in the middle seat. The car drove at a moderate pace leaving the place where Shin had studied religion for two months. And the place where Shin met Norin and got married. A place that Shin would never forget in his entire life. Arriving at the station, they got out of the car and entered the station area. Because the ticket has been ordered by Rizal before so they just wait for departure. Shin glanced at his wife who was busy chatting with Syifa. All the way up to the station the wife sat in. Rizal who saw the sister-in-law who was occupied by the sister felt kasian as well.
"Please brother, Rizal sure won't be long."
Shin smiled faintly.
Shortly after, the train they were waiting for came as well. Norin stood up and was about to scrape the suitcase but the suitcase was first held by Shin.
"Let me take her."
Norin did not say a word, He just left Shin who was carrying two large suitcases. Shin sat beside Norin, glancing at his wife who was staring at the glass window beside him. With courage Shin held the back of his wife's hand that was resting on her thigh. Norin flinched then immediately pulled his hand from Shin's grasp.
"Sorry!"
Norin paid no heed to the husband's apology, he remained indifferent to it. Shin felt bad about being presumptuous to his wife even though there was nothing wrong with Norin being his halal partner. The train started to leave the station. Along the way Shin and Norin went silent and not a word of chatter came out of their mouths until Norin fell asleep and leaned his head against the window. Shin ventured to raise Norin's head and was placed on his shoulder.
After eight hours, the train stopped at the last station. An announcement of the notification that the train had arrived at its final destination was heard. Norin gasped in shock and fell asleep on the husband's shoulder. Norin straightened out his seat.
"Ma.sorry I didn't accidentally."
Shin smiled faintly." it's okay."
They rushed out of the train.
"Why are we going to continue our journey again ? ask Shin.
"With public transport, brother" replied Rizal.
"Didn't anyone here rent a car to drive us home?"
"There's a sister, but the rent's expensive."
"You don't know who your brother-in-law is Zal." Syifa.
Rizal scratched his nape while grinning.
"Yes you've been looking for a rental car Zal, you're looking for a car that's big enough so that my wife doesn't have any trouble moving."
"hem..hemm..!"
While Norin just lowered his face.
"Yes, wait a minute then." Rizal rushes to find a car rental.
"How about we find a restaurant first because Norin hasn't eaten anything on the train."
"No, I'm not hungry."
"Are you seriously not hungry?"
"yes ma'am, I'm not hungry."
Shin just smiled faintly." Yeah, if you don't want to."
They rushed to the car that was waiting to be ready to take them until they reached home. On the way to Norin's hometown still silent until they arrived right in front of the house of Bu Aminah. Not a few of the village neighbors welcomed their presence but Norin just smiled and rushed into his house. A tired body makes Norin not to chat with the neighbors. Shin caught up with Norin entering the house.
Shin put two suitcases in a corner and saw his wife lying on her little bed.
"Are you tired? want me a massage?"
"No thanks."
Shin smiled faintly and then moved from the room towards the kitchen. He took the initiative to cook hot water for the Norin bath. After boiling he poured the hot water into a big tub and mixed it with cold water.Living in the cottage made Shin deftly work on everything from small things to big things. Shin re-entered Norin's room.
"I have provided warm water for you to take a bath, soon want magrib take a bath must be his body feels sticky mumpung water is still warm."
"Thank you." Norin got up from his bed, there was no way he could resist what his husband had worked so hard to do. She walked past her husband who was standing in the doorway. Shin shifted his body giving way for the wife to pass by. A smile on Shin's lips looked at the wife's back as she walked towards the bathroom.
Ahead of the magrib, Rizal held a mat and installed several prayer mats on it because this Maghrib they will perform congregational maghrib prayers.
"Please Shin's brother who is his priest" Rizal said. Shin was stunned to hear the order from Rizal.
"You're just zal, I'm not very eloquent."
"Sir Shin, we believe son Shin can definitely become a prayer priest for us."
"Ba.baik Bu, doubtfully Shin followed his new family's wishes to become a prayer priest.
Shin closed his eyes and read the bismillah in his heart. After that, he began to perform congregational prayers until it was finished. Ms. Aminah sobbed in tears in the middle of her prayer. Syifa and Norin looked at the sobbing mother. Syifa held the mother's hand and held it.
"Why are you crying?" syifa asked and wiped her tears.
"Happy mother Syifa was moved. Finally your sister got her match at the age of thirty years with a good man, responsible and also Sholeh. In accordance with what I always ask God."
Syifa hugged the mother while Norin raised his face up so that the clear liquid that had accumulated in both eyes did not spill.
At nine o'clock in the evening, after they had finished their prayers and dinner, Norin left his family to enter his room. The drowsiness had already ambushed in both of his eyes.
"Rin, you shouldn't sleep in Rin's larger guest room."
Norin smiled faintly."It's okay Mom, Norin misses Norin's room anyway."
"But Rin....?"
Norin left before his mother continued. Ms. Aminah was worried about where the son-in-law would sleep while Norin's bed was very small and only fit one person.
"It's okay, ma'am, then I want to go into the room first" Shin said.
"I.iya son Shin, please."
Shin entered Norin's room and his tail looked at the wife who had closed her eyes.
"You just sleep in the guest room here does not fit," said Norin arrived but his eyes were still closed.
Shin smiled."No, I'm just gonna sleep here. Shouldn't a married couple separate rooms?"
"Whatever." Norin pulled his blanket up to the limit of his neck.
Shin's eyes glanced at a carpet in the corner of the room and then Shin rolled the carpet under the bed. Norin gave one of his pillows to Shin.
Shin smiled."thank you." and then put his body on the carpet.
