MY BOSS MY HUSBAND
132. AFTER MARRIAGE //RECOGNITION OF NEW FAMILY MEMBERS

The tradition of welcoming new family members is actually not common. But many do too.

Like ngunduh mantu.

Whether customary from which country or from what tribe, now Ayu and Jansen stand at the door of the house.

In front of them, precisely in the house, the Jansen family stood with a tray containing one glass of drinking water.

"Welcome and congratulations on being a new member of our family. Hope you feel at home in the future!" mama Jansen. After that feed Ayu with drinking water provided.

Ayu who was standing beside Jansen smiled then nodded.

"This was supposed to be the new time they came, Ma. Not now after a few hours in this house," protest papa Jansen who actually considered his wife less work.

"Udah follow, Pa. They came suddenly. Mama hasn't thought of doing this."

"So far, where do you get the idea?"

"Pas read-read it turns out there ngunduh mantu. Mama's thinking because she just had a ghost. A bad ghost who doesn't want to talk to Mama." When the last sentence of Madame Helena throttled towards Ayu. The one in the face of horror even smiled increasingly tightened the hand on Jansen's arm.

"Let's go in, but step on it first." Madam Helena invited Jansen and Ayu to come in and told her to step on the ground on the footwear near the door.

"What person's mom?" ayu whispers to Jansen.

"meaning?" he responded with a whisper too.

"What is custom? I don't understand. But 'cause I told you to step on."

"What do you want mama. I also don't know what tribe this is. But if the mama is a mixture of Javanese Manado. My grandmother was Manado."

"What is this Javanese adata?"

"Perhaps not. I've already done it. Mama probably read a lot of references."

"Why not make rice on the head of aja kayak custom batak? Yesterday I saw in the shop Jesica Mila made like that the same in-laws."

"That's Jessica Mila. His tribe of in-laws is clear. While Mama? Mama mostly hangs out with her friends, so mix and match." Jansen's reply made Ayu speechless.

It does. The more you read the more you know. The more you talk or share or change your mind the more you know.

Maybe Ayu's in-laws are. During socialite time, you may hear a lot of stories. Or maybe a doctor's story.

"You know, you should have greeted you when you first set foot in this house after becoming a son-in-law. Shoulda been. But because you were suddenly at the door, Mama had no welcome," said Mrs Helena.

Johana who heard that just smiled. Lebay deh Mama, yesterday's wedding time was already speech if there is a new member. Even now make an event that does not know in the adoption of what customs.

"This is not a big event, actually my mom wanted a reservation. But suddenly thought, you have never tried mama's cooking. Mama Mutusin cooks herself."

Ayu. If only he did not keep the image, he was eager to run towards his mother-in-law and hug her tightly.

"Thank you, Ma. Please guide Mama so Ayu can get used to it soon."

There has not been a hugging drama between the in-laws and the daughter-in-law. Jansen had already directly entered and dragged his wife to sit on the chair beside him.

"Oh, the other aunt also ate together" replied his mother.

Jansen was not surprised anymore. It's been like that often. Every family event even just a candle blow birthday, all residents of the house will eat together.

Another with Ayu. She really praised her in-laws for this one thing

"Have a good schedule. Love to share" he praised in his heart.

Sure enough, there was excitement that radiated in the room even throughout the household because of the presence of new family members.

...******...

"So you guys aren't really on your honeymoon?" ask Miss Helena again.

The family sat together in the family room.

"Yes Ma. Later if it's a little loose!" answer Jansen. Actually he could just go by devoting all the work to his experts in the office. But then again, he did not want to force Ayu. After all, why go all the way if the purpose of the honeymoon he can do in this house in his room later.

"Yu, you still remember what Mom said back then, right?" His gaze turned to the girl in a blue ice dress before him.

Wanted to answer "Which one?" but not delicious.

What a very confusing sentence because so many, Ayu so forget.

"Which Mom means?" ask Ayu slowly in the end.

"Your work!" answer her in-laws slowly.

Ayu momentarily took a breath and her watered brain was at work. What roughly matched answer without offending her in-laws.

"Ma, for a while Yuyu works at the place now only, yes. It's not too far from Janjan's office. After all, Yuyu was an apprentice in Janjan's office first. It's the same with the friends who were there."

"Then did you marry Jansen? this full package!" Her in-laws feel weird about Ayu. Get the old one embarrassed.

"Heheheh, not shy, but..Okay, Yuyu can't reveal."

"Why did mom ask you to work with Jansen? answer's simple. Later you can leave more if for example you are pregnant later and also give birth."

"Ohuk... uhuk..."

Ayu suddenly chokes on her own drink.

"Ma, stop talking about getting pregnant. Jan also wants to date first. Not in a hurry." Jansen went on to become his wife's defender.

"Yes, Ma. Later Yuyu can even be stressed and depressed." Josh chimed. "Mom knows more than Josh."

There was a debate between the mother and the child about the problem of pregnancy and grandchildren.

"Ma, for a while Yuyu was in the old place first. Yuyu works until Yuyu is unable to and confesses to giving up. Like my mom said. For example, I am pregnant and have children. Ayu can stop or move Janjan's office."
