Not the Perfect Wife
323. S2 - Promise with Dad
All rooms are finished. Everyone smiled satisfied with the result. And so is the little Nuri. He was so very happy with the party to be made.
The women were gathered in the middle room. They were waiting for their husbands who were still working when it was late afternoon. Not long after, the sound of a car entering the yard.
"Assalamualaikum" said Emran and Aydin simultaneously.
"Getishalight."
"Papa is still in the office when there is Kak Aydin. He used to say he wanted to stop if Kak Aydin wanted to replace Papa. Now it's still work," said Afrin.
"Papa only comes once in a while." said Emran.
"Reason," Afrin sneer.
"Assalamualaikum," said Khairi who had just arrived.
"Waalaikumsalam" said everyone who was there together.
Afrin kissed the back of the husband's hand that the man replied by peeping his forehead. Yasna asked them to have dinner here first before going home. The two nodded without arguing.
"Tomorrow you must come, yea!" Yasna.
"Yes, Mother. We'll pick up mom first" Afrin said.
"Yes, it's okay, Mother had contacted him."
They all ate together quietly. Everyone enjoyed the Wulan meal. When they finished, Khairi and Afrin returned home.

"Mas, I got a message from dad. She wants to meet tomorrow morning, just for a little while, before Nuri's birthday starts" Nayla told her husband as they went to bed.
"Is it okay to see dad? I'm afraid he's hurting you. What did he say?" aydin asked while looking at his wife.
"Dad just said he wanted to see you and didn't say anything else."
"I'm with you, yeah! I'm afraid I'm gonna do something that hurts you later."
"No need, Mom. Dad's not that bad. Although he often made it hard on my life, but he never hurt me physically, let alone to the point of harm."
"But I'm worried, honey!"
"How about we just wait outside. If there's something suspicious later, I'll call you, how about it?"
"Yes, that's better. I don't want to happen to you. If it's about Nuri, we should just stay at home. Let the same Mother," said Aydin, who was embraced by Nayla.
Actually, the woman was also scared. But he tried to look ordinary. No matter how Roni was his father, Nayla couldn't possibly pin him down, no matter how evil he was in the past.
*****
As he promised last night, this morning Aydin drove Nayla to meet her father. In the heart of the man was worried. He was afraid that the in-laws would hurt his wife. Although the woman said it was okay, Aydin was still worried. Given how Roni used to be.
Nayla enters a restaurant where she makes an appointment with her father. The woman chose to sit on the edge of the glass so that her husband could see it from the outside. Not how long was the wait finally coming.
Roni's appearance made Nayla a little surprised. Because the man is usually very concerned with what is attached to his body, but now it is very far from his habits. Face overgrown with mustache and beard and tangled clothes and pants.
Roni usually never forget to iron her clothes, but now why be like an unkempt person? Nayla always sends money on time.
"Assalamualaikum, Dad," Nayla said by kissing the back of the man's hand.
"Waalaikumsalam," Roni replied briefly.
Nayla calls a waiter to record her father's order. "Dad, what message do you want?"
"Dad what do you want to talk about? It seems like something serious! Usually talk on the phone. Is there anything you want?" nayla asked, looking at her father.
"Dad just wanted to hand this over" Roni said, handing over the ATM card that Aydin had given him.
"Why did you give it back? Is the money Mas Aydin sends every month still lacking?"
"No, I wanted to give it back because I wanted to be independent. There's no way this age is left, Dad, always troubling you. I've decided to settle down in our old house and find a job."
"Dad what do you want to do? It's time to retire. I'm happy that Dad wants to change and I hope this change isn't for a day or two, but forever."
Roni's eyes glazed over. His sin was too great for the princess. He no longer wanted to add any more burden to Nayla, just getting here. The woman also deserves to be happy without any interference from her.
"Dad's sorry for bothering you all this time. I hope you can be happy with your family. I'm grateful you have in-laws as good as Mr. Emran and Ms. Yasna. They love you and treat you like a child. Tell them my gratitude."
"Dad, don't go on anymore." Nayla's tears were already dripping, she was sad to hear her father's words. "For me, Dad is still my parents. No matter how bad you've been treating me all this time, I still love you."
Nayla started crying, she moved to sit next to Roni and hug the man. The first time since they met, this was a father's embrace of his son. The woman had been waiting for this for a long time.
Not much different from Nayla, Roni is really moved to find the princess still loves and respects him, like a father in general. He was ashamed of himself because he could not position himself as a parent.
"Dad loves you too, so I don't want to disturb your happiness."
Roni unraveled their embrace and looked at the princess's face that was soaked by tears. The man rubbed her gently, making Nayla sob small. The treatment of the man really made his daughter happy.
"Dad, don't stay on my own. I need Dad here. Let my father's needs meet it. I can help me out at the boutique."
"Dad's not going anywhere. Dad will stay at our house first. Regarding work, I'll work at Pak Mahmud's grocery store. Yesterday Dad proposed there and got accepted."
"Pak Mahmud's basic shop? Well, there's definitely Dad's gonna be asked to pick up stuff. Dad is old, it's time for a break!"
"Father is still strong. Later if you really can't afford it, it'll stop."
Nayla sighed. It seems free to talk to his father. It must be that the man insisted on his wish.
"Well, if that's what you want, but please keep this card. someday, you will need it," said Nayla by giving back the ATM card that was given by Roni.
