Survive Loving you
chapter 23

After traveling for three hours, they finally arrived at the boarding school where Abimayu's parents lived. They arrived when it was time for the sublime.

Before getting out of the car, Abimayu reminds Ana to wear her hijab. Ana did not argue, she immediately put the hijab on her head.

"Bring this! Think of this as your concern for my parents."

Ana's heart ached hearing Abimayu's words. Until so Abimayu judged himself. Abimayu considers it as if she has no more concern and respect for the older person. She also knew how to respect others, let alone this was her in-laws. Not everything in him is bad. He is also a man with a heart and still knows how to be kind.

Along the way, Ana's head moved left and right to look around the pesantren. Some of the santri people who met them greeted them.

"I don't want to live alone here, I'm afraid!" said Ana when Abimayu wants to go to congregational prayer to Musholla pesantren, because now Zuhur time has arrived and now abah and uminya are also not at home. They were also in Musholla when the Zuhr was like this.

"There's nothing to be afraid of here. Otherwise, you can come with me to Musholla." take Abimayu.

"Come on!" while holding and pulling Abimayu's hand to leave immediately.

" E. e. you," Abimayu patted her forehead. Ana willingly touched him who had ablution.

"Don't touch me!" abimayu.

"I just want to obey Mas Abi's orders, he said I can come to the musholla." Ana says without guilt for having annulled Abimayu's ablution.

"But you must not touch me carelessly, " explained Abimayu.

"If you don't want to be touched even if you just hold your hand, I'll tell you about us." Ana threatens because she does not understand what Abimayu means.

"It's not because of that" Abimayu said again.

Abimayu went back to the bathroom to take ablution, and decided to pray at home because long time arguing with Ana, he had heard from the hardeners in Musholla that the congregational prayer had been carried out.

While Ana chose to sit in the living room while looking around the house. He felt that Abimayu's parents' house was very simple and comfortable.

"Replace your hijab! soon, Umi and abah will come soon," Abimayu said after finishing praying, because he saw that Ana had removed her hijab. Ana apparently did not hear what she had been saying since from their home before leaving.

"I'm still hot, Mom!" reject Ana because she is very uncomfortable if you have to wear hijab, especially now that she is still in the house, it does not feel too necessary to wear it.

Ana wears her hijab again with her upset face because she sees that Abimayu has started to get angry. After that Abimayu invited him to wait for his parents on the front porch of the house, so that they were not surprised to see the arrival of those who had suddenly been in their home.

"Why don't you just wait inside the house?" asked Umi Aida when she arrived home after prayers in Musholla and saw her daughter-in-law on the porch waiting for them.

"No problem, Umi." Abimayu said while kissing her parents' hands and was followed by Ana.

"Hmmm. Let's go inside. You must be tired" Umi Aida told them.

Eventually they all went into the house.

"Will I have lunch now? ask Umi Aida to Kafian Mustapa." Usually after the prayer of the zuhr in the musholla, they will have lunch together.

"Yes. I'll eat now!" said I financed mustapa while taking off the peci on his head and putting it on a table in the living room.

"Yes, let's eat first! You guys go to lunch too! then you can rest."

Abimayu nodded and walked towards the dining room. Behind her Ana always follows her silently because she still feels awkward dealing with her in-laws.

"Come, Ana. Let's eat first!" Umi Aida said as she prepared the food dish on the table.

Abimayu looked towards Ana who was looking at the food on the table. She felt uneasy seeing Ana who was still silent, because as long as they were married, she already knew of Ana's food tastes. He would not eat any food that was already in front of him. In their home, Abimayu admitted, the food he ate every day was a relatively healthy food. Ana had already arranged all about the food she was going to eat. Although he was not the one who cooked, but he directed the waiter to make the meal. He himself would make a shopping list that would be purchased by the waiters for their food supplies.

Food cooked by uminya today also includes healthy food. Although it looks very simple.

"Son Ana," Umi Aida called out to Ana gently while touching her shoulder. "Let's eat the food. Sorry, Umi can only make lunch menu like this."

Ana shook her head, she felt guilty hearing her mother-in-law say so. It was not that he did not want to eat the food, but because he felt amazed at the simplicity of this house. Mustapa's finance is a relatively capable person, but he prefers to live a simple life rather than luxury, even the house they live in is also very simple. In it there is nothing that is only used as jewelry or useless. Everything in this house is what they need.

"Umi can't cook food like people outside. But Umi cuisine is also no less delicious than the food outside it. I'm sure Ana would love it. For years Abah had eaten Umi's cooking, and according to Abah, Umi's cooking was the best of any other food Abah had ever eaten." Financed mustapa praising his wife's cooking and making Umi Aida blush in embarrassment.

Ana smiled hearing that, then took the food into her plate. She also knew that this food cooked by her in-laws was healthy food and it didn't seem like she refused to eat it.

Seeing what Ana did, Abimayu felt relieved and calm, because Ana did not refuse the food cooked by her uminya. Otherwise, Ana she did not like the food, surely she would have said it clearly which would make Abimayu feel embarrassed to her parents because of Ana's overly forthright attitude if she did not like something.
