Not the Perfect Wife
305. S2 - Afrin upset
"Why was Khairi so long, huh?" gumam Nur's.
"Mom, just calm down. Mas Khairi can certainly persuade him," Afrin said, rubbing her in-laws' shoulders.
Sure enough, not for how long, Khairi and Laily went down while holding hands. Nur and Afrin were happy to see him. That meant that the girl had already fully accepted the older brother because before, Laily did not want to come into contact with Khairi.
"Everything's ready, right? Come on, let's go!" bring Khairi.
"Already" Nur and Afrin replied simultaneously.
They all went out to the parking lot. Once in the car, Khairi opens the front door for his sister. Laily was confused to accept his brother's offer or not, but Khairi's remark made the girl accept it.
"I'm just behind, brother. This is Kak Afrin's place," refused Laily.
"It's okay, your sister is behind the same mother" Khairi said.
Afrin just silently listened, without even talking. Both hands clenched. She was upset that the husband did not ask her permission to sit in the back. The woman felt she was no longer important.
It would not hurt if Laily sat in front. However, it would be nice to talk first and ask her permission as a wife. They also have mouths.
Throughout the journey Afrin just silence while playing his cell phone. He was only responding to the words of his elder in-law. I don't know why the woman suddenly wanted to cry. However, Afrin tried not to shed her tears. His mood was completely destroyed today.
Once to the mall, Khairi also prefers to hold his sister's hand rather than the wife. Afrin walked with her in-laws. Walking around the mall Khairi did not interact with his wife at all. That certainly made Afrin more upset.
He understood that the husband did so to make up for his time, but did he have to forget about it? Afrin did not enjoy the streets at all today. Previously, the woman was very enthusiastic about this event. He wanted to go home and sleep in his room.
In the afternoon they just got home. Initially, Khairi wanted to take him to a restaurant. However, Bu Nur refused because in the apartment there was a lot of food. The man complied, they could eat outside sometime.
As when leaving earlier, on the way home Afrin just stay behind while playing his phone. There was no intention to tell him about his travels or any other story.
Once they arrive, they all go down. Actually Afrin wanted to wait in the car alone, but she felt bad about her in-laws. Finally the woman came down.
"You guys ate here tonight, huh?" tawar Bu Nur's.
"Sorry, Mom. We'll have dinner at home, '" Afrin refused. This morning she and her husband had eaten here, if now dinner here too, it would have hurt Hamdan and Merry.
"We'll have dinner here, honey. I'm so hungry. Come on!" Without waiting for an answer from Afrin, Khairi passed towards the dining room with his mother and sister.
Inevitably, Afrin followed them into the dining room. He felt that Khairi's attitude today was very annoying.
"Sit down first, I want to heat the food" said Bu Nur.
After heating the food, Bu Nur prepared it at the table with the help of Laily. Afrin is not helpful. His feelings are really messed up today. He could do absolutely nothing and think anything.
"Come, we'll start eating!" exclaim Bu Nur.
"Yes, Mom."
"Afrin why eat so little?" ask the in-laws when they see Afrin only taking a little rice.
"I'm on a diet, ma'am," Afrin replied lying.
"Body you've been so good, still dieting too."
"Yes, Mom."
Afrin eats its food quickly in order to get home quickly as well. However, the husband even slowed down his eating. She was furious, but impossible in front of her family.
Afrin was surprised to hear that. He deliberately ate a little and sped it up so he could go home. Why did Khairi fulfill his sister's wish? Didn't the man tell Mama Merry to have dinner at home this morning?
"Mas, I have an assignment from college. Everything is at home. Tomorrow, yes, no, no Laily?" tawar Afrin's.
"You can play it tonight, honey. I'll help you, okay!" Khairi.
Afrin's patience is at its limit. It seems like today you have to go home alone by taxi. It's up to Khairi to come home at night or not even go home. Although Papa Hamdan and Mama Merry are not his parents, but he still has to respect him. Regardless of what mistakes they make, it is no business huh
"Then I'd better get home in a taxi. My job is a lot, fearing not to be hunted" said Afrin who moved from his seat then say goodbye to Nur and Laily. "Mom, I go home first, I have something to do."
"Don't take a taxi, it's dangerous. It's best to go home with Khairi later," prevent Bu Nur.
"It's okay, Mom. It's also only seven o'clock, I say goodbye, assalamualaikum."
"Getishalight."
"Darling, why not go home with me? Later I will help you to do your job," Khairi persuaded.
"No need, Mom. My job is so much, it definitely won't be done."
"I'll help you until you're done. You've seen it too, haven't you, I finished it so quickly. Ak—"
"No need, Mas," said Afrin, showing an annoyed face.
Khairi no longer held his wife. He knew if Afrin was upset right now, for what reason, the man had no idea. Khairi did not feel like he was making a mistake.
Afrin was finally able to leave the apartment and go home to her father-in-law—Papa Hamdan. The woman took a taxi. Long enough trip because the road is very jammed.

"Why were you in the village yesterday, Wulan?" yasna asked as the two were cooking for lunch.
"Not going anywhere, ma'am. At home alone, nemenin kids play. I haven't seen you in a long time" replied Wulan.
"Emm... Have you known Bu Nur for a long time?" ask Yasna.
"Yes, Mom. What's the matter?"
"I just want to know, what kind of person is Miss Nur?"
Wulan smiled, she knew for sure that this master was worried about her daughter.
"Mom, don't worry. Ms. Nur is a good person, will definitely treat Non Afrin well too," said Wulan as if she knew what Yasna was thinking.
"I see it that way too, but a mother, there is still a feeling of worry. Fear if there is a mismatch between them. It is not my intention to denigrate Bu Nur, but the environment also sometimes affects. Afrin used to live luxury, while Bu Nur .. that is," said Yasna. "May all be well."
"Amen."
Wulan suddenly remembered her daughter in the village. One day, he would definitely worry about her like the current Yasna. The woman also had the same prayer as her master, may all be well.
