Eps 87 - Elsa's Doubt



"Enjoy the show, you're also a sister-in-law" Elnaz told Jimmy.


Jimmy looked pleased because his ending was Elnaz talking to him and his gaze was also different.


Elnaz cut the cake a few pieces and served it on a small plate, then Elnaz presented the cake to the people present on his birthday.


"Which El's birthday present, brother?" elnaz asked curiously, although he actually already knew but Elnaz did not know who would succumb in giving the laptop.


"Em brother is not ready yet, dear" said Arfan then with a regretful look, Elnaz understood Arfan succumbed to his father.


"If it's a gift from Papa?" ask Elnaz. Mr. Malik also handed over a box wrapped in Pink gift paper and tied with a ribbon that is also pink.


"Can open?" ask Elnaz.


"May" answered Mr. Malik, Elnaz opened it and he saw a laptop that must have been talked about by his Papa and Arfan earlier.


"It's very expensive, Pa" Elnaz later said.


"It's okay, besides you really need a laptop for your school." replied Mr. Malik and Elnaz immediately embraced his father with a happy feeling.


"Thank you.." said Elnaz.


"Don't ask for my gift, El? ' andy asked arrived.


" Well, did you bring a gift?' asked Elnaz while chuckling.


"Four dong, make a roommate mah impossible not to be able to" said Andy then handed a small town to Elnaz who was tied with a blue ribbon.


Elnaz opens her and it's a music box, making Elnaz seem very happy.


"That's great, Ndy. Thank you.." cried Elnaz pleased. Arfan is envious of Andy who manages to please his wife while he can't because he has to budge on his father-in-law.


"We didn't have time to bring a gift, Princess" Jimmy said very sweetly to Elnaz, upsetting Elsa.


"It doesn't matter, anyway you came with a sudden invitation" Elnaz said with a smile.


The event went well, Arfan also ordered food so they had dinner together at the time.


In the midst of his busy dinner, Elsa opened her voice and asked a question that managed to ignite the annoyance of Elnaz.


"Say Aunt Yuni you're having a hard time getting pregnant, El?" Arfan and Elnaz immediately looked at Elsa, while Elsa instead smiled with satisfaction because she managed to make Elnaz upset, Elsa did want to reply to what Elnaz said earlier.


Elnaz had opened his mouth but his father had preceded him to answer Elsa.


" It's not hard to get pregnant, Elsa. But it's not quite her time if she has to get pregnant. After all, your mother was also only able to get pregnant after 3 years of our marriage, and that's normal" replied Mr. Malik who made Elnaz smile happily.


"That's right, Brother Elsa. What else El was only 19 years old, different things with Kak Elsa who was very mature and must be easily pregnant because like her sister Elsa fertile woman"


Elnaz deliberately said so to insinuate Elsa and he also hoped that this would give Elsa a little fear so that Elsa would take care of herself, especially from Jimmy.


And just as what Elnaz wanted worked, Elsa immediately seemed nervous and she pulled her bag.


"let papa between you Elsa, Papa wants to know where you live and who is the same" said Mr. Malik and Elsa did not refuse him. Jimmy left too.


Now there are Arfan Elnaz and Andy and Bu Kinar. Andy glanced at his mother who had been sitting ayem while playing his cellphone and he was not excited as usual.


"What is your mom doing? From earlier playing hap continues" Andy reprimanded.


"Maybe in shock because I met a model" continued Elnaz who made Arfan laugh.


"Mama had posted a photo of Elsa with Jimmy, many likes and comments you know" said Bu Kinar happy.


"Don't tell auntie to post El's photo, too?" ask Elnaz worriedly.


"Already, tuh..." Ms. Kinar shows a photo of Elnaz while cheating candles and she actually posted it with the caption of the birthday of Elsa Karina's sister, Elnaz Mikayla.


Arfan certainly did not like Bu Kinar's actions and politely Arfan asked Bu Kinar to remove the photo of his wife.


"It's okay, Fan. There have been many likes and comments of Elnaz photos as well, even some suspect Elnaz models too" said Bu Kinar who made Arfan sigh heavily. Because of feeling bad for Arfan, Bu Kinar also deleted a photo of Elnaz with a heavy heart what else after Andy glared at him.


.........


On the way, Elsa fell silent because she was overwhelmed by what Elnaz said.


What if she's pregnant?


Feelings of fear and regret immediately surrounded Elsa's heart at this time, she felt afraid of her pregnant self and Jimmy did not want to take responsibility. Elsa regrets that she would foolishly be satisfied with Jimmy's passion, which still does not even bring Elsa to meet her family.


"Sa.." call Mr. Malik.


"Yes, Pa?"


"You... How long have you known Jimmy?" mr. Malik asked and he was still focused on the steering wheel.


"Since in Japan, Pa" replied Elsa lirih as well.


"Do you know his family?" asked Malik again and Elsa could only be quiet and down. That made Mr. Malik take a deep breath.


"Sa, don't trust people easily. Get to know himself first, his family, his background has just decided your relationship will be brought where. Do not let you regret and choose the wrong life partner, son" said Mr. Malik again.


"Yes, Pa. I understand, Papa don't worry. I'm sure Jimmy's a good guy" Elsa said.


Mr. Malik drove Elsa to the apartment building where Olga lived.


Elsa invites her father in to meet with Olga and also so that her father believes in her that he does not live with Jimmy.


Mr. Malik stopped by and he was greeted by Olga, a man who acted like a woman.


Olga accompanied Mr. Malik chat and Mr. Malik felt uncomfortable with Olga who talked a lot and like her he was also the type of person who likes promiscuity.


Mr. Malik can guess that from the way Olga talks about male and female relationships which according to him is too old-fashioned if women should be arranged and not a big problem if a couple lives together.
