The Story of the Children of the Juragan
247. The main suspect
"Let's go, baby, we'll be right out." Said Leon while pushing the stroller.
"Yes. You go first." Reply Fatim, while looking at his reflection from the mirror.
Leon, finally came out first. While Fatim still tidying up her headscarf a little messy, because of her husband earlier.
Downstairs.
"Opa, oma." Leon greeted his family, in his typical childlike style. Because she was pushing her baby to sleep in a stroller.
His family also returned it. But a moment later, they rounded his eyes, looking at Leon's appearance.
"Leon, you..." Mama Margaretha was in shock, to the point of not being able to continue her words.
While his son just showed a smile jumawa. He believed his family would praise him, as would his wife.
"Leon, aren't you reflecting first?" Ask papa Marco.
"Of course I reflect first, pa. Even Fatim praised me handsome." Leon pulled the collar off his shirt.
Both of his parents patted his eel, then rubbed his face with both hands. Feeling the silliness of the child and his daughter-in-law.
"What are mom and dad doing? How is his face like that? Like not like seeing his son's good looks."
Leon scrunched his forehead. Instead of being praised, it looks astonished and pat each eel.
"Handsome?" Said both Leon's parents and Fatim's parents compact.
"Mama inter mirror first yuk." Take Tiwi's mama while pulling her daughter-in-law's hand.
To be honest, Mama Tiwi was also unable to tell the truth to her daughter-in-law.
Let him know for himself what happened to him. Leon feels strange with his in-laws and parents. Because they are all different from Fatim.
"Well, now you can reflect." Mom invited her daughter-in-law.
Confidently, Leon saw a reflection of himself in front of the mirror. And how surprised he was, until his eyes were round. Exposure is not in accordance with reality.
"Why is this so?" Peek Leon, holding his lips.
Leon's lips, there's a pink lipstick. Even the marks also hit the area around the mouth. It contrasts with its white skin. Not that it looks handsome, but it's like a waving people.
Leon's face suddenly flushed red, enduring the embarrassment. Fortunately, his family saw him. If until the appearance was seen by the invited guests, it is certain that he will bear the shame of a lifetime.
"Thank you, ma." Said Leon, pulling out some tissue. Then sweep the area around his mouth until no traces of lipstick are attached.
"Don't believe Fatim's talk. You better ask your mom. My mom will answer honestly. Yes, mama ahead." Mama Tiwi passed leaving Leon.
"Well, how can it be like this anyway? So shy. Why didn't Fatim say that on my lips there was a lipstick on it? Huh, just look at my revenge tonight." Grunts Leon.
Leon breathed a rough breath, then threw the former tissue he was wearing earlier, originally.
After making sure his appearance was neat, Leon rejoined his family members to greet the invited guests.
Actually he really felt, already had no self-esteem in front of his family. But what I can do, it's a show for his daughter. Time yes, to be represented. Not afdhol.
His family who saw Leon's arrival seemed to hold back a laugh. Made Leon lose face and self-esteem.
"Where have you been, mom? Didn't you come down first?" Asked Fatim innocently.
Though Leon felt, if his wife was the main suspect. To make him lose face and self-esteem.
"Mama and papa, why laugh like that anyway? What's wrong? Fatim missed this info, of course." Fatim looked towards his family. But his family could not answer.
"You didn't miss the info, baby. Because you're the one who made that info." Mama Tiwi finally.
"What info? Fatim's feelings don't carry any info." The nursing mother shook her head strongly. She looked at her parents, in-laws and husband in turn.
"Surely before you guys get out, do that for a bit. Aye right?" The whisper of Margaret's mother, which made Fatim round his eyes.
"No, ma. Fatim's stomach was still in pain. Where can that be. It was just a lip kiss."
Fatim spoke in a rather high voice. But he immediately closed his mouth, because of weakness.
His family who had heard his confession now chuckled. While Leon, patting his head.
'Gosh. What will my son be, when he grows up. Seeing both his parents is equally ridiculous.' Inner Leon.
In the midst of the silliness, one by one guests began to arrive. Eventually the attention of Leon and Fatim's family is now diverted.
They greeted the guests kindly and let them sit down. Their families were very happy, because the people they invited came all over.
But something stuck in their hearts. When I have not seen the presence of the Wulan and Salman families.
