Not the Perfect Wife
238. S2 - To the house of in-laws
"I, as a woman, was impressed by what Ivan was doing. Even though I don't know him, but seeing the person he's been with just defending him, he must be a good person. I respect him so I agree with Ivan" replied Yasna. "Rani wants to marry Ivan or not. I have no power over that. Rani's better answer it."
Now it's Rani's turn to get everyone's eyes on her. Of course it makes the girl wrong. He was never the subject of such attention. Rani doesn't like to stand out, the girl prefers what it is.
"So how, Ran? You want to marry him or you want to come to the village and marry Jamal?" ask Bik Rahmi.
Rani lowered her head to think for a moment, what answer should the girl give. Regarding Ivan, honestly he also has a little taste and Jamal, let alone the feeling of seeing it is lazy. Rani took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"I'm getting married to Mas Ivan, Mom, but I have a condition."
"What's the condition?" ask Ivan.
"I want Mas Ivan to keep letting me work at Ms. Yasna's house."
"Oh my goodness, Sister Rani! Why I love working here. Rani's mom, right, already has a husband. Get to sleep at home, just a working husband. We are happy, fun, walking in the mall," said Afrin.
"Afrin," Yasna reprimanded making Afrin cover her mouth with both hands and nod. He understood that he was too lazy. They are talking seriously.
"If you want to keep working, I won't stop it. The origin of your responsibility to the family, has been fulfilled. What is your responsibility you have done" said Ivan.
"I will fulfill everything" said Rani confidently then turned to look at her master. "Bu yasna, let me keep working here, right? Every day I would come once in the morning and go home at night."
"It looks like you're threatening me" Yasna said.
"Threatening? No, Madam. Why can you think like that? I didn't do it."
Rani did not understand what her employer meant. Threatened how? He only spoke as is and asked permission to be allowed to work here.
"How not, if I don't allow you, Ivan's proposal will be rejected. I am, right, meaning I can't find another employee."
"It's okay, if you're looking for another employee. I can still work here. I'm on a little paycheck neither is pa-pa."
"Where can I do that. Your future husband is my daughter-in-law's assistant" Yasna said withholding a smile. "You just calm down. You are free to come here at any time."
"Really, Mom?" ask Rani who is yasna.
"So how is this, Madam Rani wants to marry Kak Ivan or go home with Bik Rahmi? Go home, yeah!" Afrin deliberately wants to tease Rani.
"I want to marry Mas Ivan, really, Non!" exciting Rani.
"Alhamdulillah" said everyone at the same time.
Rani was embarrassed because she was so excited when she answered earlier. Ivan must have thought she was an aggressive woman. It's all because of Afrin, she deliberately wanted to make Rani ashamed
"It means Ivan's proposal. When's application?" ask Yasna.
"I will tell my Mama later," replied Ivan then asked Bik Rahmi, "If the mother's own family, when is there time? So I can come at the right time."
"When Ivan wants to come, go ahead. My door is always open to anyone. I'm always at home too."
"Well, I'll tell my mom."
Everyone was relieved, eventually the problem could be resolved. Hopefully their plan goes smoothly without any hitch. Quietly Ivan and Rani exchanged lyrics, when their eyes met, the two would turn their faces away.
"Because everything is here, come on! We'll have lunch together" Afrin said.
"But I cooked a little, Non. I didn't know that everyone was coming."
"No need, we eat out, in the restaurant, Brother Ivan who treat. Think of it as your ready-made tax" said Afrin, raising his eyebrows.
"I agree" said Khairi.
"Mother also agrees" said Yasna
"How about, Brother Ivan?"
"May, it's up to you."
Afrin held her husband's hand, followed by the others behind.
*****
"Mas, are you sure that Brother Ivan won't play Rani?" ask Afrin, the two are currently on their way home from eating together.
They also go back to Khairi's parents' house. It was Papa Hamdan's office who asked his son to come home. Afrin also told her husband the same thing because of that, the two decided to go home to Papa Hamdan. Hopefully nothing unexpected happens.
"I know Ivan very well, dear. If he said he wanted to get married, then he would do it earnestly. He hasn't been in a relationship with anyone for a long time."
"Means Ivan's sister has been dating, dong?"
"Yes, back when he first worked with me, he already had a lover. From what I heard her boyfriend went abroad to continue his studies and chose to break up with Ivan. Ivan still loved her."
"What if he comes back from abroad and wants to be in a relationship with Ivan again?" ask Afrin with a worried tone.
"The woman is married, honey. He married abroad and lived there, will not come back."
"Where do you know he's married?"
"Ivan the story. At that time he was still following the woman's socmed, but ever since he got married, Ivan was no longer following his sosmed."
"Then I can calm down. After all, Madam Rani we already consider like her own family. We don't want Ivan's brother to hurt him."
"I'll be the first to beat him up if he does that" Khairi said. "Oh, yes, dear. Tomorrow we move into the apartment, yeah! I asked people to clean up the place."
"Say you want three days in your house, three days in your house? I, right, still miss Mother!"
Afrin was amazed by her husband, she felt that there was something to hide. But the woman could not guess. Khairi now keeps more secrets.
"I don't think so, honey. It's not good to keep moving. If you want to meet Mother, do not pa-pa occasionally," said Khairi reasoned.
She just doesn't want to stay home with her parents. The man heard a lot if the parents still interfere in the household affairs of his son, most likely the household of his son will be destroyed so, Khairi prefers to be safe.
"I am, after all, whatever you go to wherever you go, I'll go with you."
"Oh, my wife is so romantic, anyway!"
"It's a compliment, what's a mockery, huh?" asked Afrin with her eyes. Khairi did not reply, he just chuckled while rubbing his wife's hair.
Without feeling the car they were riding stopped in the yard of the Hamdan family home. Soon they enter the house. Fatma was there.
"Assalamualaik."
"Waalaikumsalam" said Fatma.
"Where is everyone?"
"Mrs is out with mom, she said she wants to shop at the minimarket. It was from earlier, really. Maybe I'll be home soon, Den."
"Yes, we want to go to the room first" said Khairi passed by embracing his wife's waist.
Fatma just stared at those two backs, until they disappeared behind the wall. Khairi deliberately did so to make it clear to his assistant that he only loved his wife.
