Sequel My Ustadz My Husband - Prospective Master
The Part 30
Maryam did not know what to react to see Amar's arrival. Not surprised but...
"Welcome to our house, Mr. Degazi" Rafa greeted and shook hands with her.
While Yasmin and Firda could not take their eyes off Amar, and Afsana continued to giggle even making Maryam had to pinch her to silence.
How no?
Amar came in a luxury car complete with a driver and for sure it wasn't Bobby. Amar was wearing her gray Cardinal suit in black Gino Mariani shoes. Very formal.
"She's gonna pick you up or see the president anyway?" ask Yasmin.
"Oh my God, Ma'am... Very handsome, dirty again, kayaking in the film that Firda watched" Firda chimed with sparkling eyes to see the young man who was like a Greek god.
"He picked up Maryam on a private jet" Afsana said, "He also sent two bodyguards to Maryam. Less perfect what else try"
"Hush, shut up" growled Maryam.
They peeked at Amar's arrival from Maryam's bedroom window. Even Maryam herself was surprised by Amar's very formal appearance, and oh come on... It was rural, yes although it was not really a village like the house of Fatimah, rather they lived in the suburbs.
But come up with such an appearance? Of course it is very striking and attracts everyone's attention.
"She seems to want to go ahead, bring her suitcase" said Yasmin again who saw Amar's driver carrying a suitcase. While Amar himself carried a small paper bag in his hand.
Rafa invites Amar in. While Uncle and Aunt Rafa are teaching, so that the only ones who welcome Amar are Rafa and also Yasmin's husband named Khalid.
Abi Rahman and Adil were on their way home after completing a study in a neighboring village.
"Please sit down" Khalid let Amar sit down. While Rafa went to the back to have Bi Ida make tea while meeting his grandmother and telling Amar had come.
Yasmin and the others immediately approached Rafa.
"Raf.." call Yasmin to Rafa who's asking Bi Mina to make tea.
"Why, Mommy?" ask Rafa.
"Are you sure enough tea? Does he want to drink regular tea? He's a president you know" Yasmin's tease shown to Maryam.
"Ish, just love water is enough too" Maryam replied bending her face "Where's Grandma?" ask her later.
"Grandmother still wants to pray Dzuhur" replied Rafa.
"While waiting for grandma, we are acquaintances with her future husband Ma'am Maryam yuk, Ma'am" said Firda excited while pulling Yasmin. No matter what Rafa orders Firda not to come out. Afsana also pulled Maryam out and as a result, the four women who met Amar.
"Yasmin, where's grandma?" ask Khalid to his wife.
"Morning to prayer, Mas. Soon out" Yasmin replied as she looked at Amar from head to toe. Likewise with Firda who was brightly staring at Amar with his eyes wide even make Amar to the wrong behavior.
"Assalamualaikum, Brother. My name is Firda, I'm her cousin sister Sister Maryam" Firda exclaimed with a big smile.
"Greetings waalaikum, Firda. I'm Amar..."
"His future husband Sister Maryam" cut Firda quickly which made Maryam blush and Amar just smiled amusedly as she looked like her Firda was an energetic type of girl.
"Firda, you better get in. Why are you in school?" ask Khalid.
"The same curiosity of her future husband Ma'am Maryam, so want to meet first" replied Firda bright light that makes Yasmin immediately pinch her waist.
"Now have seen it, right? You better go to school or your Abi will scold you" Khalid said again and Firda seemed to dislike the order. He sat beside Khalid and pulled Yasmin to a seat, while Afsana and Maryam stood.
"Sister Amar, what kind of work brother? What age is sister? Where does her brother live? If you are married later, often come here yes"
"Firda.." sizzled Maryam between annoyance at Firda and shame on Amar. Amar responded with a small laugh.
"I have several companies in various fields, I am 28 years old, and of course I live in Jakarta. And Inysa Allah later we will visit here often" Amar replied while glancing at Maryam who once again made Maryam blush, because Amar's last answer seemed to ensure that they would actually get married.
"Well, 8 years difference is the same, Sister Maryam. If the company is a lot, rich dong"
"Firda.." this time Maryam said a little sharply, then she pulled Firda and was about to bring him in, while the others could only shake their heads with Firda's behavior.
"Sorry, Amar. He likes it by the way" said Maryam.
"What the hell, oh yeah I brought by for you guys, maybe Firda also likes. There's some snacks inside"
Amar handed the suitcase the driver had brought to Maryam.
"One suitcase?" pekik Firda excited "Well, what's the content?" Firda had already moved to open the suitcase but quickly Afsana prevented it.
"Thank you, Amar. We must have liked her" Afsana said, then Afsana and Maryam pulled Firda in before the little girl made them even more embarrassed.
"He was like that, like his aunt. Bar bar" Yasmin said.
"The dent?" ask Amar
"Yes, Aunt Asthma. Maryam's mother"
"Oh, I think she's a graceful woman"
"Yes, ever since she had children she's changed. When young first, everyone was made dizzy with the attitude of bar bars and to his kanakan. But fortunately his bad nature was not down to Maryam"
"Yes, Maryam the calm girl" said Amar.
"That must be grandpa" Yasmin said then rushed to open the door and sure enough her grandfather had come with her Abi Yasmin.
"Amar has come?"ask Abi Rahman.
" Yes, Cake. Inside again chat with Mas Khalid"
"Where's maryam?" ask her fair to her daughter.
"Inside, Bi. Same Ana and Firda" replied Yasmin then followed her father and grandfather in.
Inside, it turns out that Umm Kulsum is already in the living room and looks to greet Amar.
"Assalamualaikum" said Abi Rahman who also seemed surprised by Amar's very formal appearance. Usually, guests who come to his house are dressed casually or wearing cocoa clothes.
"Waalaikum salam" replied Amar then stood up and shook hands with Adil and Abi Rahman alternately.
"Have it been a long time, Amar?" abi Rahman asked while sitting in front of Amar and so was Adil. Simultaneously, Bi Ida and Rafa came to bring tea and also pastries made by Umm Kulsum. Yasmin soon followed her sister into Maryam's room.
" No, Mister. Just now" replied Amar who made Abi Rahman chuckle with a small laugh for calling her Master.
"Don't call Mister, just call grandfather" he said and Amar nodded awkwardly.
"How are you and your family, Amar?" this time Fair asked.
"We are very kind, thank you" said Amar.
Amar felt stupid, because he was nervous, and why he was nervous he did not know. Amar has met many people from various circles, whether from his business circles, political people, ministers even he had met the president but he never felt this nervous. Amar seemed not to know what to behave like in front of those who have a different aura than the people Amar used to meet.
"You look awkward, son" the soft voice of Umm Kulsum broke her daydream "Just relax, we're here your family" he continued.
"Hem yes" replied Amar sung like a girl who met his future father-in-law.
"Oh yes, I have a gift for Master uh grandfather and grandmother" said Amar then took out the contents of the paper bag and handed a small box to Abi Rahman and also to Umm Kulsum "I hope you like him"
"What's this?" ask Umm Kulsum while opening the box, and how surprised he saw a diamond necklace that must be very expensive "Amar, sorry grandma could not accept this" Umm Kulsum closed the box and handed it back to Amar.
"Right, we can't accept a gift this expensive" continued Abi Rahman who saw an expensive watch as a gift.
"That's a gift, Cake. I will be very sad if my gift is rejected" said Amar with a gaze begging that Maryam's grandparents would accept her.
"But this..."
"I beg you.." interrupted Amar before Umm Kulsum spoke.
"No, Amar. This is excessive, son" exclaimed the grandmother.
"There's nothing superfluous about giving gifts to show love, right? I love your granddaughter, and of course I will love what she loves"
"I beg you, accept the gift not from Amar Degazi, but from Amar who wants to marry your grandchildren"
Grandpa grandma Maryam was also willing to accept the gift. And say thank you to Amar.
"Oh yes, tell me about yourself, Amar" said Adil "You are still very young, but have been so successful. How could? And how can you love my little niece?"
"Let's know, everything just happens. Even I don't understand" replied Amar.
Then they chatted about some things and slowly the awkwardness of Amar disappeared, because they were very friendly and made Amar feel comfortable.
While in her room, Maryam could only shake her head to see Firda who took out all the snacks from Amar's suitcase.
"There is none of this food that is sold in the stall next door" said Firda while reading a snack that reads Arabic letters but it is not Arabic but Urdu.
"This must be from Pakistan" said Afsana who saw the snack.
"And this... Maybe from America or Australia" Yasmin chimed in while picking up a pack of chocolates.
"Surely, all this is imported" continued Afsana.
"Worthy in the stall no one is selling" replied Firda.
"For later it's the same as your friend, Fir" said Maryam because Amar really brought a suitcase full.
"Willful" replied Firda firmly that made the three sisters glare.
"Sweety cheapskate anyway?" ask Afsana in disbelief.
"Yes not stingy, but if Firda less then want to buy where? the expired is also still a long time, so all of it for Firda huh?" asked Firda with her mischievous smile.
"That's a lot, Fir. For a little bit will also not run out" cried Maryam again.
"Yes already yes" Firda replied with a frown "This is all for later" Firda took out a few packets of candy and Maryam remembered when she visited Amar's house for the first time, he was given the candy which he said was from Malaysia.
"The base is stingy" Afsana said as she took two packs of chocolate for herself.
"Biarin" Firda replied while giggling, happy with the gift brought by her future husband Mbak.
