Not the Perfect Wife
298. S2 - Go to the city
All at night prepare to sleep. They decided to sleep in the living room because there was nowhere else. Bu Nur felt worried about the child and his daughter-in-law who was definitely not comfortable sleeping on the mat. But that's all he has.
"Is it okay for you to sleep here? You should not rent a hotel, so you can sleep comfortably," said Bu Nur as they prepared to sleep.
"It's okay, Mom. We came here to see Mom. If you sleep in a hotel, it's the same as a vacation" Khairi said. "Here you go, come on, let's go to sleep!"
Sleeping only on a mat makes Khairi and Afrin unable to sleep. The pillows they used were hard. But the two pretended to sleep so as not to make Bu Nur worried.
At midnight, Khairi opened his eyes. He sat down while looking at his mother and sister who were fast asleep. The man turned to look at the wife who closed her eyes. Khairi breaks his body back and approaches Afrin.
"You can't sleep, honey?" khairi asked in a whisper.
Without opening his eyes, the woman nodded. That made Khairi smile. His wife was always like that, not wanting to hurt the hearts and feelings of others. That woman looks adorable like this. The man grabbed Afrin's head and placed it on his arm.
"Mas, my back hurts. I can't sleep" whined Afrin in a whisper right in Khairi's chest.
The man rubbed his wife's back while giving a little massage. He wanted to bring Afrin's body over him, but he couldn't possibly do it. Here there is a mother and sister, could-can later be mistaken to do something that is not-no.
Not long after Afrin fell asleep in the arms of her husband. While Khairi, of course he did not sleep at all. That man did not sleep yesterday either. Accustomed to mattresses and cushions, now having to sleep on a mat, anyone will surely find it difficult.
Before dawn, Bu Nur woke up. Khairi who saw the movement of her mother's body immediately closed her eyes. He did not want the middle-aged woman to know that he was not sleeping at all. If Bu Nur finds out, he will feel guilty.
The woman looked towards the child and his daughter-in-law. He smiled at those who were hugging, hopefully forever like this. Bu Nur got up from his sleep and walked into the house. Khairi opened her eyes when her mother was out of sight.
'Am I willing to leave my mother in this situation? Just imagining it makes my heart ache, ' Inner Khairi.

"Pa, did Khairi come home today?" merry asked her husband.
"Yes, but Papa doesn't know he's coming home day or night."
"Has his mother come too?" merry asked slowly.
"Ma, Papa told me, right, if he's just my past. Honestly Papa wants him to come with Khairi here. It's nothing, Papa just wanted to apologize for hurting her heart and doubting her. Papa also wants to meet Laily. Either he wants to accept Papa or he doesn't. Khairi alone does not want to be embraced" Hamdan said in a sad tone.
Merry felt guilty. It is not to forbid the husband to meet his daughter. It was just that he was afraid that his household would be shaken by that past presence. Both are separated due to misunderstanding.
The woman's fear is not without reason. Merry had also heard that Nur was not married. He thought, is it possible that it is because it is still expecting Hamdan? Let's just hope it doesn't come true because if it were true, it would definitely be very painful for him.
"Did Papa see Laily's face?" ask Merry.
"Had, yesterday Khairi sent a picture as they went to the mall. She is very pretty and very similar to me" Hamdan replied by imagining Laily's face with a smile. "Mom don't think no. I told you Nur was just the past. I just want my son."
Hamdan knows his wife very well. Surely the woman felt insecure and thought nothing of herself and Nur. But the man had already explained that he would not go back in time. He doesn't want to make a mistake that will destroy his household and Hamdan hopes Merry trusts him.
"I'm sorry. I will try to get rid of this bad thought. May Papa not betray me and hold Papa's word."
"Sure, you have to trust me."

Khairi and Afrin are shocked when her mother and sister carry a bag. They are also neat.
"Where are you going?" ask Afrin.
"Certainly come with you to the city" Bu Nur replied with a smile.
"Mother, come with us? Mom, don't lie, do you?" ask Khairi who wants to make sure.
Yesterday his mother said she didn't want to come, and so did Laily. But why did they suddenly come? Did something change their minds? Many questions were in his head.
"Did you look like you were lying? It's all ready. I don't want to be away from my kids. We just got together, time has to separate again. I also want to see Laily succeed" Nur replied with a smile.
Khairi immediately hugged her mother. He was very happy to hear what Nur said. The man also did not want to be away from his mother and sister. Khairi wants to make happy those who have long suffered because of the mistakes of his father. He'll make up for it all because there's no way Hamdan can do that.
Her father has already married. There is a heart to be guarded. Khairi also did not want to hurt Merry. The woman was already very kind to him, the man couldn't possibly hurt her even if she wasn't his real mother.
"Then I order a taxi online first" Khairi said after breaking their arms.
The man immediately moved away from the three women he cared about. Afrin immediately hugged her in-laws. She was happy that Nur and Laily wanted to come live in the city so, the woman did not need to see her husband's sad face.
"Thank you, Mother, for staying in town. I'm very happy" said Afrin.
"It is precisely Mother who should thank you, you are very much to Mother and Laily."
"You are my family. Of course I will do good" Afrin said. "Regarding this house, is it okay that we just stay?"
"So the dawn of Laily has been to the house of Ms. Meli and handed back this house. You don't have to think about it" replied Bu Nur.
"We'd better go to Wulan's house. We wait there" Khairi said after closing his phone.
"Yes, come on, Mom, Laily!" bring Afrin.
They also left the house that had been the residence of Nur and Laily for many years. Along the way the two women say goodbye to neighbors who are outside the house, or who are shopping.
"Mas, to the city, right, far away. Is the online cab gonna drive us?" ask Afrin in a whisper.
"At first she didn't want to, honey, but after I told her I would pay ten times, she immediately accepted it" Khairi replied in a whisper.
Afrin nodded her head. Her husband quickly got an online taxi. Remembering their long journey.
