"Oh God! Next sunday? Isn't that too soon, son? I will not be able to prepare for your wedding in such a short time. Isn't there a choice of time a little longer than now, son? Two or three months ahead maybe!" mama Adel replied with a time offer. And with a face that looked a little worried and panicked.
Rega smiled behind the screen. To appease his future father-in-law.
"Mom doesn't have to worry about it. Actually, I myself have prepared everything. Long before I proposed to this mother's son.
I mean tell Mom sooner that. So that Mother can prepare herself, Ziah's two sisters, and also the closest family who want to see our wedding later. As well as a legal guardian of marriage to Naziah. For, In the Lord, our marriage was carried out exactly seven days from now.
So tomorrow, I'll take Naziah home myself. I know very well that we are Indonesians. Which of course has customs from each area that is inhabited. And I am one of the nation's children who greatly appreciate the customs and customs that apply in every region in Indonesia. For that, I know in the area of origin of my future wife. There's got to be a pingit tradition for the bride-to-be, right, Mom?
Together with Naziah's return later. I will also help prepare a little for what I need to help prepare there. How, can it be like that, Mom?"
Ask Rega, after telling a story and giving a long explanation to her future father-in-law.
"Geez, kid! Of course I can. But... I really feel bad for you." replied Adel's mother felt awkward.
"Mother...! I married Naziah because I loved and loved him sincerely and wanted to make him happy. Because, Mother is the Mother of Naziah. Then, his mother will also become my mother later. So, if I want to make my wife happy. Of course, I also have to make the people he loves happy. So, please do not refuse or hinder what I want to do. Okay?!" obviously Rega again.
"Yes, yeah, okay, kid. If it's like that you and Ziah. Mother can't say anything anymore. Please do! And don't forget to tell Mom later when she's leaving here, tomorrow!" replied Adel's mother. While his old lips were smiling happily.
"Eh. That's not me, Ma. I don't know anything about this. Because I just listened to him as well when talking to Mama just now." sidelines Naziah could not accept to say all that his plan with Rega. He himself did not know the plan.
"AU ah, I'll go eat now. You just keep talking to my mom. You also look familiar even though you only knew each other a few minutes ago. I'm going, Ma!" naziah continued and will move out of his chair.
Rega quickly held her hand.
"Where are you? Did you forget we were having lunch together in this room? Soon our food will be here. Come on, sit back!" said Rega.
"Hugh...! Look, Ma! Nothing yet, this man is already acting haughty towards us. He's a bitch, Ma!" naziah said by throwing his breath rough through his mouth. Then he complained to his mother through the video call.
"Although the new wife-to-be, she must obey me, right, Mom?! After all, I put this haughty attitude of mine in its place. So, is that okay, Mom?" elak Rega, defend yourself.
"Easy-after. Why complain to each other...! Just like a child. Remember!!! You guys are almost 3 heads. So, it's not natural if it's still like that. Yes, I did, Mama would like to have lunch first. You guys too, right?! We'd better end our conversation. Assalamu'alaikum.!"'s chat...!" adel's mother said a little. Then say goodbye to ending their video call.
"Yes, okay Ma. I can call you Mama, right?" rega answered and asked again before her future mother-in-law closed her call.
"Yes, son. Please!"
"Thank you, Ma. Wa'alaikumusalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." replied Rega and Naziah almost simultaneously.
And their video call is over. Along with that, from the front door of Rega's open work room. Two women were carrying trays in their hands. Saying greetings in front of that door.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Master!" say those two women. "We brought your ordered food, sir." one of them continued.
"Wa'alaikumusalam." replied Naziah and Rega again simultaneously.
"Yes. Come on, serve it here!" rega answered by pointing at the table in front of him with his eyes.
"Please eat, ladies and gentlemen! We'll be back to pick up the plate, in an hour. Enjoy it."
said one of the waiters polite and friendly.
"Eh, later, Mba'. Half an hour, you can already take the former plates." replied Naziah.
Hearing that, Rega simply shook his head slowly.
And the servants looked at Rega for her approval. And Rega who understood the gazes of those servants. Can only nod slowly giving his answer.
"Good, Miss. We'll be back in half an hour. Excuse us?!" said the two waiters resigned.
"Yes. Thank you." replied Naziah at last.
And the servants came out. Back leaving Naziah and Rega there already with their own food in front of them.
Before eating, do not forget Naziah to read the prayer first. After reading the prayer, Naziah was just about to feed his mouth with a spoonful of food. Suddenly, the movement of his hand came to a halt as it unintentionally stared at Rega's face.
Since praying, Rega has been staring at him. And after Naziah returned that look. Rega quickly played both of his eyebrows, going up and down.
Naziah who did not understand the meaning of the signal given by Rega to him. By force, first undo his intention to eat and ask.
"What's wrong? Why haven't you started eating yet?" asked Naziah, with a confused face expression.
"You haven't bribed me in a long time. I miss the mouthful of food from your hands." replied Rega
"Hem! Is this also one of the reasons you took me to lunch together?" guess Naziah. After exhaling a rough breath from his nose.
"Hehehe.." replied Rega, grinning the horse.
"Huf. Here's your food!" naziah said, again exhaling a rough breath.
"We'll eat together. You have to feed. Me, I will feed you. Okay!" rega said, again issuing his arrogant attitude.
"Why the hell... I always can't refuse all your orders?! You haughty man!!!" naziah said in annoyance.
"That's because you were destined to be my mother. Which is worthy of my orders. My future wife." said Rega answered the question full of frustration from Naziah.
And even if forced, Naziah still feeds Rega. Rega also bribed him. Be it at lunch, they feed each other. Until unknowingly, the food on each plate, exhausted unceremoniously.
And sure enough, it hasn't been half an hour. Naziah and Rega had finished their meal. And even after the servants came. The plates of their former food had been tidied up by Naziah. The two maids just picked it up and washed it.
"Oh yeah, before I go. Can I say something?" ask Naziah. After the departure of the servants.
"Please! You want to ask me what Hem is?" answer and ask Rega. While propping up his chin with both hands resting on his two bent legs.
