Not the Perfect Wife
270. S2 - Terkesima
In the living room of the Emran family. Khairi and Ivan were waiting for their wives. They both wanted to pick up Afrin and Rani. Both of them, however, were not at home. Mother Yasna said they had not come home from the streets. Both women left in the morning.
Khairi sent a message to his wife and Afrin said he was on his way home. To be honest, the man was upset that his wife had been gone all day. What did he do all that time?
Not long after the sound of a car entering the yard. Two women got out of the car. Then they entered the house whose door was still open. Rani is scared, but Afrin tries to convince her.
"Assalamualaikum" said the two women.
"Getishalight."
Everyone was shocked to see the appearance of the two newly arrived women, especially Rani. If Afrin, already used to such a look, but for Rani, only this time she dressed up like that. Everyone was amazed to see her look so beautiful.
Ivan did not blink at all while watching his wife. She did not expect Rani to appear this beautiful. She is beautiful, but she rarely wears makeup. Today he made everyone surprised by how he looked. Even Khairi who was next to Ivan was similarly shocked.
"Mas, don't fall in love with Rani, right?" tanya Afrin makes Khairi tick.
The man realized that he had looked at Rani excessively. However, Khairi did it unconsciously. He was just amazed that there was no particular purpose.
"No, Honey. I'm just surprised to see Rani. My love is only with you, nothing else" Khairi said quickly. He did not want his wife to misunderstand his actions. Honestly, it was just a reflex. No more feelings, let alone falling in love like his wife said.
"How's Ivan? Is there something still lacking in Rani?" ask Afrin.
"No, Non. Everything is enough" Ivan replied without looking at Afrin, making the woman laugh at him.
Ivan awakens when he hears Afrin's laughter. He felt ashamed, but Ivan was not his name if he did not pretend to be ordinary. Sometimes the man still looked at his wife.
"You guys haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, let's have dinner here first! Coincidentally Mother cooked a lot," asked Yasna.
"By, Mother," said Afrin.
"Already, Bro, don't look at it. Later at home, brush immediately," Khairi reprimanded by patting his assistant's shoulder, making Ivan flutter. While Rani just keeps her head down, between happy and embarrassed.
"Come, we'll have dinner!" bring Afrin. "Before continuing the next mission," he continued by whispering right in Rani's ear.
Everyone walks into the dining room. Emran also came down from his room with Aydin and Nayla. They all enjoyed a quiet dinner while Ivan continued to steal a glance at his wife who was next to him.
Though already next door, why still steal a glance? I don't know when that guy can be as romantic as any other guy. After dinner Khairi and Afrin decided to go home. Ivan and Rani.
"So Rani's sister, what are you, honey? Can it be different like that?" ask Khairi when they are on their way home.
"I'm just taking her to the salon, Mas" Afrin replied casually.
"You didn't teach Sister Rani anything, did you?" ask Khairi again.
"We'll see tomorrow" Afrin replied.
Hearing the answer from his wife makes Khairi know, surely Afrin taught Rani a no-no.
"What's the matter, Mom? It was also for their good. After I was upset, they were married for a month, but not yet unboxing."
"Mbak Rani herself said, so I taught Ms. Rani to be more courageous."
Khairi nodded his head. He doesn't know about it, after all it's also people's household affairs. The man has no right to know, if his wife intervenes, so be it. Rani also told it herself. What Afrin did was also for the good of the newlywed couple.
Meanwhile in the other car, Ivan and Rani just fell silent. Sometimes they write each other. Both are confused looking for a topic of conversation.
"Mas, I've decided that I will stop working at Ms. Yasna's house" Rani said.
"Right, you want to stop? You didn't do it because you had to, did you? I don't want you to regret it someday."
"No, Mas. I've decided, but I can still come to Ms Yasna's house once in a while?" rani asked, looking at her husband.
"If you want to go to Ms. Yasna's house, I won't forbid it. As long as I get home, you're home."
"Yes, Mom, but tomorrow I still have to work. I haven't said goodbye to Ms. Yasna and the others. It's not good to just stop."
"Yes, it's okay. I'll drop you tomorrow, yeah!"
"Thank you."
Silence shrouded the atmosphere in the car. They don't know what to say. Though both of them lived together for a month, but everything still feels stiff.
"Ran," call Ivan.
"Yes, Mas" said Rani quickly.
"You are so beautiful tonight" said Ivan, staring at Rani at a glance. Actually he wanted to look at his wife's face longer, but he felt embarrassed. Not only that, he was driving the car. There was no way the man could continue to look at his wife.
It was not long before the car driven by Ivan had reached the apartment where they lived. Both went down and headed for his apartment unit. Rani still thinks, should she do what Afrin says? This appearance alone has embarrassed him, what else should use a very thin cloth that people usually wear on the first night! Rani took a long breath.
"Ran, why are you still sitting there?" ivan asked as he saw his wife standing by the entrance.
"There's nothing, Mom. Just tired," answered Rani lying. The woman followed her husband into the room.
"I take a shower, huh, Ran? Or do you want to go first?"
"No, Mom, just take a shower first."
Ivan went into the bathroom. While Rani is on the edge of the bed, still thinking about whether she should wear the clothes suggested by Afrin or not? The woman gathered all her courage walking towards the closet, where the shirt was stored.
"What are you looking for, Ran?" ivan, who had just come out of the bathroom, surprised his wife.
