Not the Perfect Wife
219. S2 - Prospective in-laws
Afrin was still sitting in the living room, waiting for Khairi who was calling her mother. The girl's eyes scanned the room. There are several photos of Khairi along with his parents and extended family.
Not how long did the sound of footsteps sound, making the girl look towards the source of the voice. Khairi walks with a woman who looks young at her age. Afrin stood up and commented a smile on mama Khairi.
"Assalamualaikum, Auntie" said Afrin, kissing the back of the woman's hand.
"Waalaikumsalam, whose name are you?"
"My name is Afrin, Auntie," replied the girl nervously.
Merry who noticed it just smiled. "I'm Merry, Khairi's mother. Come on, sit here!"
Afrin sat next to her mother Khairi. The girl was getting nervous because Merry was staring at her.
"Why do you want to marry this aunt?" ask Mama Merry.
"He kept chasing me, Aunt, I finally accepted him," Afrin replied as if making Merry laugh.
"He is indeed a person who likes to force so, later you have to be a lot of patience in dealing with it."
"What, anyway, Ma? Why even ugly me?" sela Khairi's.
"You just shut up. You better get in there! Call Make Asih to make Afrin drink."
"Yes, um." Although upset, Khairi still carries out his mother's orders.
He went back and left the mother with Afrin. The man knew that his mother wanted to talk to the girl alone. Khairi believes that Mama Merry will not make it harder for Afrin because the girl is nice, as she wishes.
"May Aunt ask me something and Auntie hope you answer it honestly" Merry said with a serious face.
"Yes, Auntie" replied Afrin.
"Don't be afraid, just answer what's in your heart" Merry said. "Do you really love Auntie's son? He has a lot of flaws. We were so busy with work that we didn't pay much attention to what he needed and what he learned. We leave it to our trust people. From what Auntie saw in your family, you were so happy and perfect. Auntie is afraid Khairi doesn't meet the criteria of a dream husband, like what you want."
"Maybe aunt was right, our family was very happy, but we also had shortcomings. There may even be many shortcomings. It's just that we're family, understanding each other. We are also trying to make each other happy and regarding Khairi, I really love him and I will try to be a good wife. Hopefully our family can also be happy forever, until death picks up."
Only this time Afrin confesses her feelings in front of someone other than her family. She knew Mama Merry was worried and she said it was honest in her heart, not because she had to. The girl had really fallen in love with Khairi.
The man's warm attitude towards her and coldness towards others makes her feel special. Afrin hopes that attitude will be in Khairi forever.
"Thank you for taking it. He also told me all about you, about your family, and what he learned after getting to know you. Aunty felt grateful for that," said Merry with a smile. "One thing you need to know. Aunty's son is also a very loyal person, just like his father."
"Definitely, Auntie, very happy to have a husband like om."
"Yes, even though he is old, but still romantic," Merry replied with a smile. "Oh, yeah, don't call Auntie again. Call Mama, same as Khairi."
"Yes, Ma."
Without them noticing, Khairi had heard their conversation from behind the wall. The man asked Bik Asih to make a drink. When he wanted to go back he heard his mother's talk, it seemed serious. Khairi chose to hide.
Not long after the sound of the car entered the yard, when Afrin and Mama Merry were busy talking. The girl was grateful that her mother Khairi was not an old-fashioned minded person.
"There was a guest apparently," Hamdan scolded upon entering the house
"Papa's home?' merry asked, who immediately hugged her husband.
Hamdan kissed his wife's forehead. The romantic atmosphere that Afrin used to see was also in her home. The girl hopes that her household will be like the parents, who are always happy.
"Come, Pa! This is his future wife Khairi, his name is Afrin and Afrin, this is Papanya Khairi, his name is Hamdan. You can call Papa too, just like Khairi."
"Hamdan, his father Khairi" Hamdan said, replying to Afrin's hand. "Papa heard about you. Any talk, same aunt?"
"His name is also female, Pa," Merry said.
"But don't like to gossip a lot."
"Mama doesn't gossip," said Merry with a frown because she didn't like her husband's accusations.
"Yes, Papa believes," Hamdan said, turning to Afrin. "Papa stay first, clean up."
"Yes, Pa. It's okay."
"You wait here first, let Mama call Khairi." Merry immediately followed her husband into the room after calling Khairi.
"You look so tense!" khairi who just arrived.
"Not to be mocked, already know I'm deg-degan again," said Afrin jutek.
"Well, where the fierce and fierce Afrin is, it suddenly stamps," Khairi's taunts make Afrin snort.
Afrin waited long enough, until finally Mama Merry took them all to lunch. Afrin enters the kitchen as an older housekeeper with the girl. He just smiled with a slight nod at them. However, the girl turned her face as if she did not like the presence of her employer's lover.
Afrin did not take it easy, she sat next to Mama Merry because she asked for it. Fatma kept glancing at the girl sitting next to her master. All that did not escape Khairi's sight. However, the man did not take the dizziness as long as Fatma did not make trouble.
"Afrin, know this Bik Asih, he's been our cooperation from little Khairi. If this is his youngest daughter, it's called Fatma."
"Greetings, Bik Asih, Fatma. My name is Afrin" said Afrin, extending his hand.
"No, Non. Aunty's hands are dirty" Asih said by putting her palms together in front of her chest.
"Yes, no need, our hands are dirty" said Fatma who was beside her mother. Afrin was forced to follow them by putting his palms together in front of his chest.
"Yes, come on, baby! Take what you like."
They ate together while talking about Khairi and Afrin's relationship. Also about each other's families.
"So when can we meet your family?" ask Hamdan to Afrin.
"Papa Emran whatever, Papa Hamdan, has a time when."
"It's precisely Papa who should be, Papa you are a busy person. Fear of interrupting the time."
"No, kok! Papa whenever you can."
"What about Saturday or Sunday? It's up to you guys, set it as comfortable as you guys."
"Yes, Pa. Later I asked Om Emran," said Khairi made Hamdan nod. They also continued their lunch.
