Not the Perfect Wife
225. S2 - Guests bring Shares
Khairi tells all that happened about Afrin and Vira to his parents. Merry was angry, maybe Vira insulted her friend like that. This made the middle-aged woman dislike him.
"Then, what's your plan?" ask Papa Hamdan.
"I will continue to carry out the marriage."
"meaning?"
"I've asked my men to prepare for the wedding in two weeks."
"But, right, Afrin has refused!" sela Mama Merry
"I don't care about that. I can definitely get her to marry me," Khairi said confidently.
"Are you sure? What if Afrin still doesn't want to?" ask Mama Merry.
"I'm pretty sure I can make it come."
Merry and Hamdan looked at each other. They doubted whether the girl would come or not, but they did not want to break Khairi's conviction. Both will support whatever their son does.
"What can Mom and Dad do to help you?"
"Later tonight we'll come to Emran's house to propose to her."
"But Mama hasn't got anything prepared yet."
"Mama take it easy. I have asked my men to prepare all the necessities. It will come later this afternoon."
"What about the ring?"
"I bought it, Mama take it easy."
"When did you buy it?"
"I bought it a month ago, when I left town."
The slightest opportunity Khairi would use as well as possible. He will not regret it later. A lot of what the man has done to get to this point because of that he will not give up just like that.
Merry sees so much of his son's love for Afrin, but why can't the girl see how big and genuine Khairi's love is? Does he need to show it?
"Yes, then, do you need to bring your uncle and aunt?" ask Merry.
"No need, Ma, just Mama and Papa. We also have no notice so, alone," replied Khairi. "I'm going to go to the room first, Ma, there are some things I need to do."
"Yes" said Mama with a smile.
Khairi leaves both of her parents to go to the room. While Mama Merry and papa, busy with their respective thoughts. Right or not Khairi's choice. They will definitely support.
"How, Pa? Are we coming tonight? While Afrin himself refused to marry our son. Mama was afraid that she would embarrass us" asked Mama Merry to her husband
"Mama knows Khairi, right? If he wasn't sure he wouldn't do it. We as parents can only support what he will do. After all, Mr. Emran's family are good people, there's no way they're embarrassing us."
"Hopefully Afrin will be able to see Khairi's struggle."
"Yes, mah, actually this is all also Papa's fault. Papa should not have received an arranged marriage from Vira's father at that time."
"Already, Pa. Everything has also been done, which is important at this time we have to support whatever will be done end."
"Yes, Ma."
Hamdan feels guilty. Had he not taken for granted an offer from Vira's father, Khairi's plan would have gone smoothly, unlike today.

"Mother, please tell Rani to cook a lot!" emran said he just finished his shower. The guy just got home from work.
"Why cook so much? What show is it?" ask Yasna. She was wondering why her husband suddenly asked to be cooked so much? The woman was trying to remember what today was, a special day? Seems not.
"Some will come."
"That came? Who, Pa? How many people came?"
"Papa does not know, ask Rani to add her cooking. If it's still lacking Papa can ask Papa's men to buy it at the restaurant."
"Who's guest, anyway, Pa? Papa just makes me curious."
"Mama will know."
"Papa was asked instead of love riddles."
"Yes." Yeah." Yasna left her husband in the room.
Emran sat on the edge of the bed playing his phone muttering, "How could he have such a plan. Didn't Afrin refuse to continue with the wedding plans? It's making my head woozy. I'm so curious, how far he's going to go."
His men told me this afternoon. That Khairi is preparing for a proposal tonight. He also plans a wedding party for himself and a girl named Afrin. It is not wrong if Afrin is meant to be his daughter, but regarding the reason for continuing this marriage plan, that is not what Emran understands.
While in the kitchen, Yasna helps Rani cook to entertain her guests. I don't know who's coming.

"Would the food be prepared now, ma'am?" ask Rani.
"Attent, Ran. Wait for the guest to come" replied Yasna.
"Who the hell, Mother? I'm, right, hungry already" Aydin grumbled.
"If you're hungry, eat. Ask Rani to be ready with Nayla too."
"No, ah, I want to eat together. I also wonder who the guests will be."
"Mother doesn't know either, Papa you're playing with secrets."
Fifteen minutes later, a car entered the courtyard of the Emran family home. Three men descended and took delivery to the house. One of them pressed the bell button next to the door. Not long after the door opened, Rani opened it.
"Assalamualaikum" said Khairi.
"Wa—waalaikumsalam," said Rani nervously. He was shocked to see the arrival of Khairi as well as the two old men. Moreover, they carry parcels, seen Mr. Hari help them lower something from the car. The woman was still standing looking at the three people who were in front of her.
"Mbak Rani, Ms. Rani," Khairi called repeatedly. However, the woman was still engrossed in her daydreams. Until the man patted her shoulder.
"Eh, yes, sir."
"Can we come in?" ask Khairi.
"Please." Rani opened the door wider so that her guests could enter.
They sit in the living room, while the delivery has been brought Rani inside. Although it has to go back and forth. Yasna had also been told that her guest had arrived.
"Assalamualaikum, Mr. Emran," said Papa Hamdan when he saw Emran coming out along with Yasna.
"Waalaikumsalam, Mr. Hamdan. How are you?" emran said as he reached out his hand which was immediately welcomed by Hamdan.
"Alhamdulillah, fine. Oh, yes, this is my wife's introduction" Hamdan said, pointing to his wife.
"Include me, my name is Merry" said Merry, holding out his hand.
"Emran and this is my wife Yasna." They shook hands and mentioned each other's names.
"Please sit down" Yasna said. He had already seen the delivery brought by the Khairi family. Now the woman understood the purpose and purpose of their arrival. Yasna also asked Rani to call Afrin, who was in her room.
"Who are you from, brother?" ask Afrin who is in the family room.
Of course his voice was heard up to the living room as he asked in quite a loud voice. Nayla and Rani go to each other to answer Afrin's question.
"From the Khairi family," Nayla replied in a soft voice.
"Khairi's family?" repeat Afrin by frowning his forehead.
He felt confused, why did the Khairi family come with a shipment? All of the below are like someone who is on a proposal, but the girl has already canceled the wedding plan.
Afrin's heart suddenly beats faster. Between nervousness, fear, anger, sadness, and the various feelings that the girl feels.
"Darling," called Yasna to make Afrin turn his head.
"Yes, Mother."
"Come, here! There's a Khairi family coming." Yasna took Afrin out to meet the Khairi family, inevitably the girl complied.
