Not the Perfect Wife
139. S2 - Intention to apply
After the departure of Yasna. Rini calls Nayla and asks her to go home. Actually he agreed that his nephew could be with Aydin. But the woman knew it was not her right.
"Hello, assalamualaikum" said Nayla who was across the phone.
"Waalaikumsalam, Nay, tonight you'll be at Aunt's house, yes! There's something Auntie wants to talk to you about" Rini said.
"Yes, Bi. Nayla will be back there. Does Auntie want to nitip something? Let Nayla buy it."
"No need, you just come here, Auntie's happy."
"All right, Nayla's gonna be there."
"Yes, that's all Aunt wants to say. Aunt close first."
"Yes, Bi, I'll see you later. Assalamualaikum."
"Getishalight." Rini closed the call. She was relieved, Nayla did not ask the reason why the woman had asked her to come.

"A lot of cooking, Mom? Is Nayla coming today?" ask Doni.
"Yes, Dad. Nayla is home today. There's something I want to say" replied Rini.
"Say what?"
"Later I know, too" said Rini.
Doni looked in wonder at his wife. It's not usually Rini to keep something from him. No How long awaited finally came with a bag of crackles containing marsh.
"Assalamualaikum" said Nayla, knocking on the door.
"Waalaikumsalam," said Rini by opening the door. "You, Nay. Why not just go in? Pake knock on the door, what are you carrying? Aunty told me there was no need to bring anything."
Nayla just smiled in response.
"Uncle is home?" nayla asked as she entered the dining room. There was Doni sitting there and ready to enjoy dinner.
"Yes, there's no overtime so, Uncle's coming home fast."
"Yes, come on, let's eat!" bring Rini. "Have you taken a shower, Nay?"
"Already, Bik. It was at Fatma's house. Before Nayla gets here to a friend's house for a while there's a little work."
"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" ask Rini. He had already prepared dinner for Nayla as well if the girl had already eaten, who would have eaten her cooking.
"Not yet, Nayla deliberately wanted to have dinner at Aunt's house."
"Thank God, come on, eat together!"
They enjoyed dinner with gourmand. Rini was agitated at the thought of a way to talk to Nayla. Doni who saw it also understood that his wife was thinking about something.
"What's up, ma'am?" ask Doni.
Rini was silent for a few seconds. He took a deep breath and threw it away. The woman tried to calm down and spoke carefully so as not to hurt Nayla.
"Nai, may Bibi say something" Rini said without answering questions from Doni.
"Just talk, Bik," Nayla replied with a look at Rini. She felt that something important, judging from her aunt's howling could not be silent.
"Look, Nay. Someone came by and he wanted to propose to you. He said he would come here with his family tomorrow. It's not Aunt's duty to accept or refuse so, Aunt can't answer. That person also said he would accept whatever your answer was."
Nayla and Doni were both shocked. Especially the girl, she never thought at all that there was a man who would propose to her and now, no matter who the man was, Nayla had no idea.
After the failure of her engagement to Rizki, Nayla does not feel close to any man. Only Aydin was known to him. The girl thought, it is impossible if the man proposed because Aydin did not know the cancellation yet.
"How can a man wish to propose to Nayla, without first meeting her? We don't know their families either. Do they have a bad purpose?" ask Doni.
"Where can it be like that, Mom! Do they think marriage is a joke?" Doni emotions, how could they come to get acquainted as well as propose? They think they can play games with their family.
"Well, as I said earlier, all decisions are with Nayla. They will accept whatever Nayla answers. If tomorrow Nayla does not like the man. They won't force."
Rini was annoyed at her husband who asked too much and thought. She wanted to hit her husband on the head so he could be quiet and not ask too many questions.
"Do they know me, Bik?" ask Nayla.
"If they don't know you how they came to propose, they also know that this Aunt, your Aunt," replied Rini.
Nayla thought, true to what her aunt said, they must have known her because of that they came to propose. They also know that this Rini is her aunt and knows the address of this house, but who proposed to her? Nayla could not guess at all.
"Do you know who that guy is?" It wasn't Nayla who asked, it was Doni.
"You better see for yourself tomorrow. I have no right to answer.
Doni looked at his wife, He knew Rini was ringing something. Surely the woman knew who proposed to Nayla and tried to cover it up, but the man was also unlikely to force his wife to answer in front of Nayla, maybe later when it was just the two of them, Doni would ask.
"How, Nay? can you take the guest tomorrow?" rini asked him to make sure he could tell Yasna.
"God willing, Bi. I'll work on it anyway, we have to respect guests, right?"
"Yes and Aunty hope whatever your answer is, that it will be best for your future."
"Amin, thank you for that."
Nayla knows Rini is a very sincere person who loves her, if she gives the man a chance to propose to her, surely that person is a good person Nayla is also curious who the man is? Let time answer it

"How, Mother? Does Bik Rini want to help?" aydin asked, while they were in the family room watching a television show together, more precisely accompanying Afrin.
"Mbak Rini said she wanted to help, she would try to talk to Nayla. I hope Nayla will take it."
"Amin, hopefully, Mother."
A message goes into Yasna's phone, apparently from Rini who says if Nayla wants to receive her guests tomorrow.
"Alhamdulillah, Nayla wants to accept our arrival tomorrow" Yasna said while showing a message from Rini.
"Alhamdulillah."
"That means tomorrow we're going to propose to Nayla. Are you ready, Aydin?" ask Yasna.
"Whoever Mother I have also prepared her ring," Aydin replied with a smile.
"Not that, are you ready with any answers from Nayla? Mother does not want if you fall because your proposal is rejected."
"Why does Mother speak like that? That's the same as if Aydin was rejected."
"Mother is just anticipating whatever the possibility is, not your doain is rejected. Mother will always pray for your good, no matter what path you take."
Although not a real mother, Yasna always wanted the best for her children and Aydin knew that.
