The Story of the Children of the Juragan
205. May you be tired of being Lillah
In order to make her husband's heart calm, Fatim reported to both parents by making a video call.
Shortly after, the call was answered by his mother. Without any cue, they waved each other and said their greetings.
After a moment of longing, Fatim said about the domicile to his parents. The faces of both his parents turned mellow, when he heard that.
But a moment later, Adam's father smiled. Making Fatim and Leon look at each other and wonder in the heart, what is it.
"After marriage, papa's responsibilities have indeed moved on, Leon. So like you want to follow the domicile there, yes papa can not prohibit. But if you change your mind, and want a domicile here, that's okay. Papa and Mama will be happy to open the door for you."
Leon and Fatim smiled. The man was relieved after hearing his father-in-law's explanation.
"Thank you, pa. Leon here will try to meet the needs of birth and inner, Fatim. With all the effort."
"Hem, that's good." Adam's dad smiled and showed me his thumb.
For nearly an hour they made a video call. With all the different things they talk about.
"Alhamdulillah. They're very nice. I'm lucky to have in-laws like them." muttered Leon, after the call ended.

The next day, Leon was dressed. He rushed out of the room to enjoy breakfast with his family.
He saw Fatim preparing food at the table. Fatim was aware of her husband's presence. Then pull out a chair, so that her husband can sit down.
"You're so concerned with me, baby." Leon looked at his wife.
"Must dong. Let you also get more work spirit. Yes, ma." Fatim turned to his mother-in-law who had just entered the house, and brought vegetables from the back garden.
"Yes, baby." Mama Margaretha replied, but she did not know what the two were talking about.
Not long after, Papa Marco also came, joining them around the dining table.
On the sidelines of his eating activities, papa talks about his company's plans to Leon. So that the only boy who would certainly be the heir of the company, can manage well.
After finishing breakfast, Papa and Leon say goodbye to the office. Mama and Fatim kissed the back of each husband's hand.
Mama and Fatim sat in the back garden. The two spend time together with the knitting. Fatim never did that. Therefore, Margaret's mother taught him.
While knitting, the two also told a story. Not all daughter-in-law and in-law relationships are bad.

While in the office, Leon began to struggle with his work. He began to focus on working on what papa had assigned him. It was much different than the old Leon. Which is just playful and never serious, other than about Wulan.
Now he realized, had to change his behavior less mature. Because soon he will have a child.
Not felt, Leon has been working all day. It's time for him to go home.
He never felt tired when he came home from work. Because his work was never serious. He always asked his papa secretary to do it.
But now, he's doing everything himself. So he just realized that being a leader in a company is very draining of energy and mind.
Feeling tired that whack all over his body and mind, it raises Leon's spirit to work harder.
So that his papa company can grow rapidly. They can support their employees and their families.

Leon's return was greeted by a smile from his beloved wife. The woman is enjoying an afternoon walk in the front yard of her house.
Seeing her husband and in-laws getting out of the car, Fatim rushed over to the two. He kissed the backs of the hands of the two men with reverence. Then bring their briefcase. After that, they went into the house at the same time.
Fatim told Leon to sit on the edge of the bed. He was actually sitting on the floor.
"Hi, honey. What are you doing." Leon frowned, pulling Fatim's hand.
"It's okay. I just want to take your shoes off, brother."
Leon's mouth is rounded, forming the letter O, while the mangosteen.
"But I feel bad, baby. Stand up. Let me take off the shoes myself."
"I want to find the reward, brother. Time is forbidden." Fatim pulled Leon by the foot and tried to take off his shoes.
Leon finally let his wife do what she wanted. It made him feel much more appreciated.
"How did you do today, brother?"
"Alhamdulillah. Although I was tired, I enjoyed it. It used to feel not as tired as this, because my work was just playing around. But now I'm really more focused, on the cost of living for my son and my wife. That's why I feel so tired." chuckle Leon. His true nature began to appear again. Speak for what it is.
"Alhamdulillah. I'm glad to hear it. May you be tired of being Lillah."
"What does that mean?" Leon frowned not understanding.
"May all the tiredness that afflicts you be rewarded by Allah. For you desire all things to worship Allah. By living your son and wife in a good way."
Once again, Leon muttered while his mouth formed the letter O, as a sign he began to understand what his wife said.
