Not the Perfect Wife
230. S2 - Congratulations
"What are you talking about, anyway? I don't like you talking about life. Don't mess around" said Afrin.
"I'm not kidding, honey. I'd do anything for you. You are the one who can change me until this very moment. Something my closest friends can't do, including my parents and I'm so grateful to see you."
Afrin was deeply moved to hear what Khairi said. He did not expect that his presence could make someone better. Almost that girl was wasting a man as good as her. Afrin is grateful that God showed her the truth.
"Oh, yes, Mas. Is there no change of clothes? I'm sick of this kebaya keep on."
"What was that?" ask Khairi. "What do you call me?"
"Call what?" ask Afrin who is confused by Khairi's intentions.
"What did you call me?"
Afrin thought for a moment. Now he understood what Khairi meant. The girl smiled at her husband and asked, "Didn't you like it, if I called Mas?"
"I'm very happy with that call. Try again!"
"What the hell, Mas?" sahut Afrin is ashamed.
Khairi smiled and immediately hugged his wife. Today there is so much happiness that God has given her. At first he was afraid that this was all a dream. However, Afrin gave her understanding if this was all true.
"Yes, you take a shower first. There will also be some clothes. I've asked Ivan to buy you clothes and make me. Now you wear the kimono towel" Khairi said after releasing a hug while pointing at a towel.
"I want to remove this decoration first" said Afrin by trying to remove the crown and decoration on his head.
"Here, I help" Khairi said, helping Afrin. "You're pretty when you wear the hijab.
"Sorry, yes, Mas. I'm not ready to wear it yet."
"It's okay. I'm not forcing you either. No matter how you look, I still like it" Khairi said. "It's over."
"Yes, I want to take a shower first" said Afrin passed carrying the kimono to the bathroom.
Khairi looked at Afrin's missing back behind the door. 'Thank you for coming and thank you for still loving me. I will always love you. You're the only woman in my heart,'

The reception at night was so festive, many invited guests were present there. From family and business partners. Suddenly, Afrin's vision was fixed on a girl who came along with her parents. Who else if not Vira. No wonder the girl came because her father was a friend of Mr. Hamdan.
If Afrin did not know anything, she would be very happy and embrace her best friend immediately. Now, let alone to hug, shake hands only reluctantly.
"Hey, Afrin. Congratulations, yes! It's been dapetin Khairi. I'm sure you're a great woman, capable of conquering cold, stiff men like her."
"Yes, you're welcome." Vira hugged Afrin and whispered something in her ear.
"I didn't think you would betray me so much,"
"Unfortunately, I am also not a stupid girl who handed over my loved ones to a girl who was just playing love" Afrin replied in a whisper as well.
"What do you mean?" ask Vira.
Afrin did not want to answer, she immediately took off the hug from the girl. "Thank you, yes, for coming" said Afrin, smiling as sweetly as possible.
"Yes, equally," said Vira then turned to look at Khairi. "Congratulations you got it" Vira said, taking a hand out to the man.
Khairi grabs Vira's helping hand for a bit and immediately takes it off. "Please enjoy the food," he said, deliberately wanting to make it leave immediately.
Vira who understands if he is expelled immediately comes down from the guarantee. In his heart he wondered, what does Afrin mean? Does his friend know anything?
"What did you say, honey, to her?" ask Khairi after Vira's departure.
"It's okay, it's just a woman's chat."
The invited guests were so many that both brides felt exhausted. Afrin occasionally sits.
"Aren't you tired, honey?" ask Khairi. "We'd better leave this building alone. I know you're tired."
"Yes, but later if it's really not strong, just say it."
"Yes, Mum."
"Hi, Brother, congratulations. Sorry I can't stay long. I have to go back" said Adit.
"Back to the hotel, right?"
"No, I have to go home."
"Why so fast? Just arrived this morning, now you want to go home? Don't you miss Mama?"
"I have a lot of work to do and it has to be done right away" said Adit, who was hit in the man's shoulder.
"Be careful, take care, Lo" said Khairi.
Adit immediately hugged his brother. "When you have a child, don't forget to tell me, yeah! Surely I will come" he said in a hug.
"Oh, yes, dear, this knows my sister's name is Adit" Khairi told his wife.
"Hello, brother-in-law, I'm Adit" said the young man, extending his hand. However, it was not Afrin who welcomed, it was Khairi who returned the hand.
"Geez, brother, I want to greet brother-in-law."
"No, it's the same."
Adit snorted, so protective of his brother to his wife. Shaking hands is not allowed.
"Yes, Brother, I'm back" said Adit. "Sister-in-law be careful, yes! As this crocodile, don't want to be fooled by him."
Adit immediately left from there before his brother said anything. Khairi knew it was just a joke, but it was precisely that that made him always miss his stepbrother. He always wanted to have a sister. However, unfortunately his wish was never granted.
"I just found out that you have a sister" Afrin said after Adit's away.
"Actually she's not my real sister. She's Mama Merry's son with her first husband."
"Mommy Merry's son? I don't understand it anymore!"
"Whenever I tell a story, if I tell you here, it's not good. It's not the right time and place to talk about it" said Khairi, who is a member of Afrin.
"Afrin, congratulations are finally legitimate, too" Zahra told her friend. They hugged each other.
"Thank you for coming."
"Sure, dong! I don't want to spend my best friend's happy day. You must remember, you will also be present at my wedding."
"God willing." Zahra broke their arms and extended her hand to Khairi. "Congratulations, yes, Brother. May your marriage last until old age."
"Amin, thank you" Khairi replied to Zahra's hand.
"Come on! Let's take a picture, Ra. You can't mess around with this one, let it be a memento, if I ever have a friend like you."
They were photographed several times. "Yes, I'm going there first."
"Yes, would you like to find some scuffles?" afrin Goda.
"I'm going to find some food. If you're looking for a girlfriend, I can be killed if I get home." Zahra then left the couple.
