Unified By Marriage
Son-in-law

This morning it still shows at six in the morning. Syakirah and Kiya are preparing their equipment for Madura. They will stay at Abel's house for four days. For four days it was a truce between Syakirah and his father, so they were in Madura only four days.

"Sister, are we not bringing anything to Abel's house tomorrow? I don't feel good if I don't bring anything in there." Shakira.

"Of course we'll take something there. But, brother doesn't know what to bring? Abel's house is far from the market, it takes about two hours to go to the market. The house is also far from supermarkets or minimarkets. Because, it's his house in the village." Kiya.

"Yes too, Abel's house is far from everywhere. How about we buy vegetables and fruit to get there? We also have to go to the supermarket to buy snacks while there!" Shakira.

"That's a good idea, but we have to finish our gear first!" Kiya.

Syakirah and Kiya have already cleared their equipment to go to Madura. Next, they will go to the market first to buy a variety of vegetables and fruits.

Syakirah and Kiya use the motorcycle to go to the market, because the market distance is quite close to their home. It took them about fifteen minutes to get there.

When he arrived at the market, Syakirah looking for a place to put his bike. In the market can use a motor to get around, but of course it is a little troublesome because the road is quite narrow, so they decided to use the bike only.

After putting on her bike, Kiya and Syakirah walk to find vegetables first. They walked down the damp market streets and were a little smelly, though they paid no heed to it.

"What do we buy, brother? I'm so confused." Shakira.

"We're going to buy carrots first, you know that Abel really likes carrots." Kiya.

"Yes, he loves carrots. He's like a rabbit. Then we'll find the carrots first!" Shakira.

They are looking for carrot sellers, because the price is cheap and the vegetables are still very good and fresh.

Not long after, they had already arrived at their subscription place. They bought half a kilo of carrots, they are also looking for other vegetables to bring when going to madura.

"What do we want to buy, huh? We only bought one vegetable from earlier." Shakira.

"Well, I don't know what to buy, because I never knew what Abel liked to cook?" Kiya.

They thought for a moment to buy other vegetables besides carrots. Not long after, they finally decided to buy potatoes, cabbage, mustard, corn, tomatoes and onions.

They bought one kilo of potatoes, two medium-sized cabbage, three mustard fruits, eight corn, one kilo of tomatoes and also half a kilo of onions.

After they bought the materials, they decided to return to the parking lot first before touring again.

They leave their groceries to the parking lot and then they go around again.

"Sister, we can't afford vegetables?" ask Syakirah.

"Yes, I've thought about it. We'll buy meat, chicken and fish." Kiya.

After Kiya said that, they rushed to look for the butcher. Not long after, they finally found a butcher. They bought two kilos of meat.

When the butcher was cutting their meat, someone called the name Syakirah.

"Nak Syakirah yah?" said mother earlier. Syakirah also reflexively turned towards the mother earlier. He was very surprised to see that the mother was none other than Ahmad's birth mother, and Syakirah also saw Ahmad who was beside his mother.

"Eh? There's Ms. Wati. Assalamualaikum. How are you, ma'am? We haven't seen each other in a long time." Syakirah kissed the back of Wati's hand and was followed by Kiya.

Ms. Wati is Ahmad's biological mother, should Syakirah call her aunty or budhe. But, ma'am Wati forbade him to call it because of his age which had reached fifty years, he was also no longer young. So, Miss Wati told Syakirah to call her mother.

"Waalaikumsalam Shakirah's. Good news mom, how are you too? You just got out of the hospital, right? How are you doing now? " wati's mother.

"Alhamdulillah, Syakirah has improved ma'am." Shakira.

"Alhamdulillah then. I don't want to until my future daughter-in-law gets sick." Wati's mom.

"haha yes, ma'am." Syakirah smiled awkwardly, because considering he was nobody Ahmad anymore. Actually he was quite unpleasant to be called as a prospective daughter-in-law, but he also did not want if Wati's mother hurt because Syakirah did not want to be called a prospective daughter-in-law. So, he just agreed to the call from Ms. Wati.

"Nak Syakirah, I'm sorry for not being able to visit my son Syakirah when he was sick." Wati's mother.

"Yes ma'am is okay, Syakirah is also healthy." Shakira.

Syakirah looked to her side, because from earlier she had not heard Kiya's voice since meeting Wati's mother. As she looked at Kiya, Syakirah was very surprised. Kiya put on her flat face, she also looked at Ahmad with a hostile look at all. Ahmad also, on the contrary, looked at Kiya with a cold and haughty attitude.

Ck, why yes every Syakirah there must be Kiya. Why, Kiya always goes with Syakirah?. Wonderful said Ahmad annoyed in the heart.

"Nak Syakirah kok tumben to the market on Saturday, usually it is not Sunday if you want Syakirah to the market?" ask Wati's mother. Syakirah who heard his name was called immediately turned his head.

"Yes ma'am, Syakirah is shopping for necessities in Madura." Shakira.

Ahmad immediately turned to Syakirah, when he heard that Syakirah wanted to go to madura. Syakirah who got a look from Ahmad immediately turned his face.

"Loh, so want Syakirah to go to Madura?" ibu Wati's.

"Yes ma'am, Syakirah wants to stay at Abel's house and also want a short vacation to calm the mind." Shakira.

"Oh, to Abel's house?" ibu Wati's.

"Yes ma'am." Shakira.

Syakirah saw the face of Bu Wati who looks like there is a problem. Syakirah also asked about the state of Wati because she was afraid that Wati was sick.

"Mom's okay? You seem like you have a problem or you're sick?" ask Syakirah.

"Eh, mom's okay. I'm thinking of something." replied Ms. Wati. "No doubt, I want to say something. Did Syakirah's son allow it?" continued ma Wati.

"Yes ma'am, by the way, it's okay." Shakira.

"If I wish that my son Syakirah was my daughter-in-law, would it not be a problem?" ask Wati's mother. Ahmad turned to his mother when he heard his mother's question for Syakirah. Ahmad also wanted to know Syakirah's answer on this matter.

Syakirah thought very much, he was not a nobody Ahmad anymore but why he was always considered more by the Ahmad family. Syakirah is afraid to answer questions from Wati's mother, she is afraid to hurt Wati's mother.

"Sya.." Syakirah had not yet answered, the butcher had already called him.

"Sorry, here's the meat!" the butcher called Syakirah and Kiya. Syakirah took the meat and paid for it.

"Sorry mom, it looks like Syakirah has to go, because there is still a lot to prepare." Shakira.

"Ah, it's okay. We can talk another time." Wati's mom.

"Then, Syakirah said yes ma'am. Assalamualaikum." Shakira.

"Waalaikusalam." Wati's mother.

After saying goodbye to Bu Wati, Kiya and Syakirah went to buy chicken and fish.

Bu wati noticed the departure of Syakirah and also Kiya. He shed his tears.

"Ahmad, can you hope that son Syakirah will be your future companion?" ask Wati's mother to Ahmad. "Mother wishes more to nak Syakirah." continued Wati's mother.

"yes ma'am." replied Ahmad briefly.

After that they went home because they had finished shopping. While on the other hand, Kiya was nagging Syakirah.

"Well, don't be a coward!" Kiya.

"Oh Allah, brother. I'm not a coward, I'm afraid that my answer will make Ahmad's mother hurt. He's old, I'm afraid that my words will make him sick later." Shakira.

"Even so you must remain steadfast Syakirah. If you were like that, you could be considered weak by Ahmad." Kiya.

"Yes, yes." Shakira. Because it was not able to answer Kiya's words, Syakirah finally agreed.

They had arrived at the fishmonger and also the chicken. They bought half a kilo of Mujair fish, half a kilo of catfish and a kilo of chicken.

After getting their ingredients, they decided to go home and buy fruit while in the supermarket alone. Because, the sun has risen and they are in the market, the air is not good enough for health.
