Not the Perfect Wife
231. S2 - First day
"Alhamdulillah, finally finished too," said Khairi as soon as he entered the room he immediately poured down his body, without changing clothes.
"Mas, change clothes first, fall asleep later. Mas also has not salat isya." reprimand Afrin
"Yes, in a minute, honey. I'm still tired" said Khairi, closing his eyes.
Afrin also let her husband. She herself was also very tired, but the girl preferred to go to the bathroom because if she had laid her body on the bed, Afrin was the laziest to move. He cleaned himself and changed clothes.
After the bath, the girl approached Khairi and immediately woke her husband. Right, as he thought that the man must have fallen asleep.
"Mas, wake! Shower first then pray," said Afrin while shaking Khairi's body.
"Hm." Khairi walked into the bathroom with her eyes still closed. Afrin shook her head, she could have had such a husband acting like a child.
"Darling, have you prayed Isha? Come on, I'm imami!" khairi said after the shower.
"I'm another hitch, Mom."
"Astaghfirullahaladzim."
"What's up, Mom?" ask Afrin, worried that something might happen to her husband.
"Lost, dong, my first night!" khairi said passing by taking ablution made Afrin hold back his laughter. She understood the meaning of her husband's words.**** the girl had never felt it.

"Ma, I don't think Mama likes Afrin. Yesterday Mama loved him so much, what happened?" ask Hamdan to his wife.
"Mama just did not like his attitude yesterday, which has made Khairi like a slave. I don't like my son being made like that."
"But, Ma, Afrin also has a reason why he did it. It's all Papa's fault, too. Had Papa thought about Khairi's feelings back then, it would not have been like this. If you want to be angry, you are angry with Papa. Poor Afrin."
"Mama won't be angry with Afrin forever either. Mama's still pissed off, maybe there'll be a time when everything's gonna be okay."
Hamdan just nodded not speaking anymore. He understood very well how his wife's attitude did not like to be forced.
*****
"Now what are we doing, dear? The first night was broken" asked Khairi, hugging his wife while leaning on the head of the bed.
Afrin leaned against her husband's chest. A new place that feels comfortable for her. From today he is the place to complain. Not that the woman forgot her parents, but it was enough for her to complain to them. Now he will only share his happiness with his father and his mother. This man who was hugging him would take the place of his parents' responsibility.
"We'll talk for a minute, Mom. Until we feel sleepy."
"What conversation?"
"Anything" replied Afrin. "I haven't apologized to you about what happened yesterday. I'm sorry I doubted you and we almost failed to get married. If it wasn't for your firmness we might have split up."
"Oh, it's over. I forgive you too."
"Are you angry with me because of that? I know, even though you're trying to cover it up, but I can feel that Mama Merry doesn't like me. Before it was ordinary. I know I made a terrible mistake yesterday."
"It's true, honey, but it's just mom's disappointment. Over time, everything was fine too. I know Mama Merry very well. He just wanted to put out what was in his heart. If he doesn't like you. He couldn't possibly bless me with you."
Khairi did not expect Afrin to know about it. Mama Merry's attitude yesterday was very visible. No wonder Afrin could see that. He thought, did his in-laws see that too? If so, the man feels very guilty.
"I will try to convince my mother and apologize to her" Afrin said.
"I will always be with you. We both apologize to Mama. He will surely fall. I know him very well."
"Yes, Mas. Where do we live, where do we want to live? Same with your parents, my parents or do we live alone?"
"I'm also confused, haven't thought about it."
"Look, this is only temporary in this one month. How about three days at my parents' house, three days at your parents' house, one day we stay at my apartment."
"May, I am also not used to parting with Mother. If it's like that, slowly I definitely don't feel lost."
*****
The next morning, as they talked about last night. Today they will stay at the Khairi family home. As he was about to enter the house, Afrin's body shook. I don't know, suddenly he was scared. The understanding Khairi immediately grabbed his wife's hand and brought her in. While their suitcases were brought by the security guard.
"It's okay, there I am here" Khairi said with a smile at his wife who was then taken in by Afrin.
"Assalamualaik."
"Waalaikumsalam, have you come? Come on, sit down!" papa Hamdan said.
"Why not work?" ask Khairi when he just sat down.
"No, Papa's still on leave. Don't you have any plans for a honeymoon? You guys just say where you're going? Papa's ticket will be ready."
"No need, Pa. Afrin, right, is in college. Maybe later after she graduates or maybe, when there's a little angel among us who makes our show even more fun."
"Just as you guys."
"Sorry, Sir. The food is ready," interrupted Bik Asih.
"Yes, Bi" said Hamdan. "You haven't had breakfast, have you? Come on, let's have breakfast!"
"Wait a minute, Pa," interrupted Afrin.
He approached his mother-in-law. The girl wanted to apologize and admit all her mistakes. Afrin sat next to Mama Merry and clasped the middle-aged woman's hand.
"Sorry Afrin, Ma. Disappointed Mama. I know my mistake was huge, all I can do now is apologize to my family for my mistake at that time."
Actually Merry can't forgive Afrin yet, but he can't possibly say that here. Moreover, there was her husband and Khairi. They might blame him.
"Oh, forget it. Everything has passed too. Come on, let's have breakfast! It's gonna be cold." Merry took her husband to the dining room.
Afrin feels Mama Meri has not fully forgiven her. Judging from the way he spoke and behaved, the girl already knew.
"Come, Honey! Why are you still here?"
"It's okay, Mom, come on!" Afrin and Khairi follow their parents to the dining room.
Everyone enjoyed breakfast while talking. From now on, Merry just talked to Hamdan and Khairi. Afrin did not utter a single word. Even if he speaks, Merry who will be silent so, it is better that he does not talk and choose to enjoy the dish.
"Which fatma, Bik? Not visible?" merry asked his ART.
"There, Madam, in the back, is getting ready to go to school," replied Bik Asih who was taken by Merry.
Breakfast was over, Afrin wanted to help clean the dining table, but Merry immediately banned it.
"No, Afrin. You just rest, must still be tired yesterday after the reception."
"It's okay, Ma."
"You've just been there" said Merry by forcibly seizing the plate in the hands of his son-in-law.
