Marwah looked up, looking at the large and wide restaurant table. Although a little pounding, accompanied by Rambo he sat waiting for his in-laws and brother-in-law to come, lunch together.
"Calm down, your good intentions will surely help God launch." Rambo smiled as he clasped his hand.
"Yes, it's."
"His fried bread is ready?"
Marwah lowered her head and took the small basket beside her, then put it on the table. "Here you go, I asked Kania to teach you before we got married. I hope Rani likes it, huh?!"
"Sure!"
Daylight sun was radiating all around them, adding to the beautiful impression in the family's dining area. While waiting for his family to come, Rambo bounces to the bathroom for a while.
"Rambo didn't say that you came alone" said Amy, who came to pull the chair.
Immediately Marwah raised her head and stood up to salute her in-laws and her newly arrived in-laws.
"I'm here with Mas Rambo and I'm here, but Mas went to the bathroom just now." Marwah said, the smile never separated from the look of his face so that Amy's mother did not dwell to oppress him. "Mother and Sister Rani how are you? Erwin why haven't you come?"
"Mas Erwin has a meeting at the office so can't accompany your invitation yet." Doctor Rani replied in a flat tone without making any eye contact with Marwah.
"Oh, well I understand. How are Rani's mom and dad?" Marwah repeated her words.
"You like to talk that doesn't matter. You yourself can see with your eyes how our condition is now, if we come here, the body is still complete, bright face, it is very clear news. I don't like this kind of unimportant chat. Wasting time!"
"I'm so happy to see you again, Rani too. Honestly I'm a little nervous, but I'm very grateful because Mommy and Rani want to come here, eat with us" replied Marwah. "I know Mom and Mommy Rani are healthy, my eyes look at her physically. But asking the news isn't unimportant, we don't know how much people care about our circumstances."
Doctor Rani felt something stuck to Marwah's feelings when she said that, an explosion of sentimental feelings overshadowed her mind, but Rani's doctor remained silent.
"Oh, yes Ma'am. I have something" Marwah added, pulling her bread basket to give it to Dr. Rani. "So morning I made some raisin fried bread, taught by Kania some time ago. I heard Rani's mom likes fried bread, so I tried to make."
At that time, Dr. Rani was silent for a while. He did not want this bread, either because he still felt sorry for Marwah, nor did he want to bond with the woman who made his family tenuous. However.he also could not continue to be indifferent, this was opposite to his conscience. Marwah had worked hard to prepare this, just for him. And he himself understood that now, his brother-in-law was trying to get close and reconnect their family.
"Thank you, Marwah. I'll taste it later after lunch."
One sigh of relief came from Marwah, without realizing his smile immediately floating when the doctor said so, "I thank you Ma'am, thank you for accepting my bread. Well then, how about the food we order now. I asked you for a menu book, Rani Ma'am, what would you eat, what did you order?"
Looking at Marwah's eyes that highlighted her so clearly, Doctor Rani felt that instinctive call. Marwah is sincere and his intentions are good, until that moment he also tried to convince himself; their goals are the same, want to get along. Therefore, He will support the wishes of Marwah. Defeat his ego and hatred and begin to free up the situation, letting Marwah play her role as a brother-in-law in his life, and as time passes, dr. Rani believes Marwah may bring new colors to their extended family later.
"Bak wants to eat fried gurame and stir-fry kale." He replied with a smile, the first smile for Marwah. "If you want to order what?"
Although it still looks rough in the eyes of others, but this is enough fun for Marwah. Can this be called fresh air? Can Marwah consider this a good start? thankfully...
"How's college? I heard from Rambo you're majoring in education." Amy's mother replied from across the table, as the waiter recorded their order. "Why take that major? you are how the hell, should take a major that can support Rambo and our extended family. Engineering, law, economics... That's good." Added.
Then Marwah while tasting his spit, began to prepare to give his explanation. "The department that I mentioned earlier is very good, ma'am, Marwah also greatly admired him. But, for Marwah, as a wife who will also one day become a mother, women have an important role as the first madrasah for children. Mas carry out his role as a husband as well as and as much as possible, therefore Marwah also wants to support his life and our extended family by being a good home for them. Carry out the role of a wife, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and mother who scored a civilized and knowledgeable generation. It was all more than enough to complement and help Mas Rambo in the family."
Marwah convinced herself, behave as it was advised Rambo before. It's free if people like you, but you have trouble acting the way they want. It will not last, because you are liked as someone else and one day you will feel saturated with the role. If others like you as yourself, you are what you are... It's gotta be more fun. Rambo told him that this morning.
"Like the mother, Marwah herself was initially hesitant to major in education. But, Mas Rambo tries to give an understanding, if whatever we want to do follow the conscience, what is our goal at the beginning. In essence, Mas once said; all majors are the same, there is nothing better and nothing worse, and all majors will give us knowledge." He added, while then taking something from his tenteng bag in the next chair.
Amy's mother was momentarily stunned by Marwah's explanation, this was quite different from what she had imagined. Women with a High School education background such as Marwah how can have a deep thought about the role of women in the family, how can Marwah understand basic education but not everyone understands. This is quite surprising.
"Marwah also brought this for mother," she handed an old and rather thick fiction book to her in-laws, "The title is Winter pigeon, Marwah heard from Mas Rambo, who is the author of the book, I love reading fiction books when I'm free. Mas also often love story travel Mom and Dad used to be young, really inspiring... According to Marwah very similar to the book, I hope you have a chance to read it. Must've liked it."
Amy's mother looked at the book cover, white and somewhat shabby, but she smiled faintly, even her twilight eyes almost glazed over. "This book, I've read it before, together with my father. But for a long time, his book was stored in the warehouse because mom was busy working. Now I can see it again... "
"Mother has tried hard" said Marwah. "Now it's time to take a little break."
And without realizing any of them, Rambo listened from behind the wall. Accidentally not joining, giving room for his wife to struggle. "I told you, you can love" she said slowly.

"Brother Norman, something's swerving."
Norman walked out of the cell, accompanied by police guards. His forehead frowned along the way, it was obvious how he was confused. Who is looking? Her thought.
"Man," greeted the bald-headed tall man while embracing Norman. "I was surprised to hear that you were in prison from the villagers."
Marwah's ex-husband was instantly stiff, "Robinson, since when did you come back here?"
"Yesterday," he answered. "I'm looking for you, but people say go to jail. Damnit damnit! dare to drag you here! People say last time you had a fight with a gondrong man, your wife's mistress."
"Here you go, I also enjoy living in a cell."
"Shut up man! it's quite an understatement of our gang, you go to jail, the other thugs act as they please, so I'm back here." Robinson swung his hand, sweeping away everything Norman said. "I'm not willing, it hurts my heart to see you here. I must have found it and I'll have to repay that gondrong guy for you."
Norman's facial complexion instantly changed, sinister and extremely frightening. "Not once, an inch you try to touch him. You're the one I'm gonna bunvh!"
