Not the Perfect Wife
217. S2 - Match with Vira
"Assalamualaikum" Khairi said as he entered his house. The two old men were astonished to hear their son say hello.
"Where have you been, honey? Never been home since Mom and Dad came home from abroad?" ask Merry, mama Khairi.
"I, right, want a vacation too, not just Papa and Mama."
"But you have no news. The phone is dead."
"If my phone is active, you'll definitely ask me to come home, right!" Khairi tries to find an excuse.
"You're always talking to me."
"Pa, Ma, Khairi want to get married" Khairi said, making both parents happy because they always ask for it, but the man always refuses for various reasons.
"Thank God you want to get married. Mama is happy to hear it. From yesterday Mama always asked you to get married, but you always refused" Merry commented.
"Have you talked about this with Vira's parents?" ask Hamdan, Papa Khairi.
"Why should I talk to Vira's parents?" ask Khairi who was astonished.
"Aren't you going to marry Vira?" ask Hamdan.
"Who wants to marry her?"
"Who did you marry, if not Vira?" ask Merry.
"Sama Afrin, Ma. The girl I like."
"Can't Khairi, papa and Vira's parents have agreed to betroth you. How can you marry someone else?" reject Hamdan.
"I don't want to, Pa. I'm just gonna marry Afrin."
"If you want to marry her then, what about Vira? You should have said it a long time ago so, Papa didn't match you with Vira. If it's like this, how?"
"Khairi would not. Until whenever I would only marry Afrin no woman could ever replace her."
Hamdan and Merry are confused by Khairi's decision. They knew that their son would not be forced. If Khairi says no, then he will never do it.
As a mother, Merry wants the best for her child. He doesn't really like Vira either. The marriage was proposed by the girl's father and made Hamdan and Merry forced to agree.
Hamdan and Vira's father have cooperation in business. They wanted the business to be owned by Khairi and Vira if they married, but now their son refused.
"Mama wants to meet him first. Mama wants to know, how the girl was before she approved of you. Mama doesn't want you to go looking for a girl to be a wife."
"She's a good girl, Ma. Where could Om Emran educate his daughter carelessly."
"Emrani? I think I've heard that name?" asked Hamdan while thinking.
"Remran Al Husayn. Papa, you must know him" replied Khairi.
"So your boyfriend is Emran's daughter, the famous businessman?"
All businessmen must know the Al Husayn family, their business is famous everywhere. Especially since his son joined.Their company is getting bigger.
"Yes, he's Om Emran's son and Aunt Yasna and he's not my girlfriend, he's my future wife."
"Mama also met with Ms. Yasna. He's a very friendly man to anyone."
"So, how, Ma? Is Mama ngerestuin us?"
"Had Mama said, Mama wants to see him first!"
"I'm not sure, anyway! If Afrin wants to come here, but I'll try it first?"
"Why not?"
"We're not halal, Ma. He does not want to be alone," replied Khairi who is taken by her mother.
"How did you get to know the Emran family?" ask papa finally.
"Care, Khairi is that loh," said Khairi by patting his chest making the papa grunt. "Well, I'm going to go to the room first, call Afrin and ask her if she wants to come here."
Khairi soon passes leaving both of his parents in the living room. Hamdan was upset that his question was not answered by his son, but he was grateful that Khairi was not wrong in choosing a girl.
"Pa, how are we gonna talk to Vira's family?" mama Merry asked after her son disappeared.
"I don't know either, but rather than Vira, Papa agrees more with his daughter Mr. Emran. Everyone knows how his family is. Rather than with the Vira family, Mama knows how papa and mama. They both have an affair, actually Papa is also worried if Vira is the same as his parents, but Papa had no other choice at that time and agreed to it just like that. Now Khairi already has a choice and the choice is also very good. I'll try to talk to Vira's family. As for how they are going, that's the last business."
"So the point is, Papa agrees Khairi with Mr Emran's son?"
"Yes, Ma. Everyone knows that Mr. Emran and Ms. Yasna are educating their children very well. Mama heard that, didn't Khairi say hello? All this time we've never taught him about religion even for greetings, but today he's changed a lot."
"If you talk like that, Mama just come along for the sake of Khairi."
"Yes, Ma."
As parents, they only want the best for their children. Whatever they will do so that Khairi's future is guaranteed and a happy life with his wife later. Especially Merry, the woman who raised him. He would never be willing if Khairi was hurt.
*****
Inside his room, Khairi opens his phone and tries to find Afrin's number, immediately she shifts the green button, not waiting for a long time from across a girl already picked him up.
"Assalamualaikum" said the girl who was none other than Afrin.
"Waalaikumsalam, darling. How are you doing?"
"Alhamdulillah, fine. Didn't you just come home from here?"
"But I miss you, baby!"
"Gombal" said Afrin. However, his face was now flushed with a smile adorning his lips.
"I'm not a pussy, honey, it's a real deal!"
"Yes, yes, what are you calling?"
"Do I have a reason to contact you? Every hour, minute, second, I miss you."
"If you're mostly a pussy I hear it."
This is the first time Afrin has had a relationship with a man. He felt happy that Khairi would immediately justify it. Not like the guy out there who just wants to have fun. Even among them there are also those who have had husband and wife relationships
"Darling, Mama wants to see you. You want to, right?" ask Khairi with a serious tone of voice.
"When will your mom see you?" ask Afrin.
"You want! Just now, how?"
"Yes, not right now! Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next week."
"Tomorrow, next week, honey. When are we getting married then!"
Afrin breathed heavily. Her husband-to-be is really dizzy. "As far as you are."
