"Is it better?"
Sinan nodded in response to mother's question. After leaving the kitchen leaving Anya with her so-called in-laws, Sinan followed her original future in-laws until they sat in the living room. One boy was singing his lips as if resigned as a little girl Sinan knew named Arum is now coloring the little nails of this Arka child.
Last night, Arum was crying when he saw Sinan coming to this house. This morning was much better because before going to the market, Sinan had time to approach Arum again even though he only got a glance. At least the prospective child is not afraid and does not cry every time he sees Sinan's face. Sinan believed himself to be close to Arum.
"It's better aunt" replied Sinan.
"Have you taken your medicine?"
Sinan. He had not eaten anything this morning, so it was impossible to take the medicine on an empty stomach.
"Eat already?" ask Aisha again.
Sinan shook his head again with a faint smile. Earlier this morning Aunt Aisyah asked Anya to make toast for breakfast, but because of the arrival of her two best friends, it seems like Anya forgot what she was told. It would be rude for Sinan to make it himself.
"Well how the hell. Aunt bil—"
"No need for aunty" Sinan cut.
"Yes, we'll have breakfast together. Great Wine cuisine. Just relax"
Sinan smiled. In addition to claiming to have energy in, the mother-in-law so-so it turns out it can cook too. Her husband Pantes looks so in love with Wine just by looking into her eyes. Sinan's later life with Anya will also be like that. Sinan was really impatient.
"So is it true that you're not going to meet your parents?"
Sinan who was imagining a colorful happy life with Anya turned his head for a moment. He forgot, the purpose of Aisyah calling him to sit in the living room was to talk about this. Arka had just returned home while carrying Arsya. Just the two of them clearly make Aisyah's aunt so easy to start. The two boys sitting on the floor were not to be considered, as they knew nothing even barely caring about what they were talking about.
"Yes tan"
"When?"
It could be seen there was a hint of doubt from Aisyah's aunt's eyes now. Sinan, who had been very confident of convincing Anya's mother a second time, now the belief is thinning little by little. "Aunty Saturday. I promise nothing bad will happen, I will protect them both"
"Then the days after?"
Sinan frowned his forehead confused "Yes?"
"The days after, are you sure no words will hurt my children and grandchildren?"
Dahi Sinan increasingly contorted not to understand what Aisyah was discussing now. Because Wine's speech about not being able to if Arum was denigrated in Sinan's family has made him confused. Now Asiyah's speech made Sinan believe that something was wrong that only the Anya family knew.
His parents did not approve of their relationship, but his mother was not that bad to bestow mistakes or say bad things to a little girl whose age was even just 3 years ago. After all, when he met in Bali, Sinan was also with Anya, there were no inappropriate words he said. While in her apartment unit yesterday, Anya said that her mother pretended not to see her. Or did Anya lie to him yesterday?.
"I'm sorry I don't understand what aunt means. What kind of speech does aunt mean?"
Just by looking at Aunt Aisyah's red eyes. Sinan could guess the words his mother said were very bad.
"Wouldn't you tell any stories?"
Sinan shook his head.
Hearing that it felt like someone was squeezing his heart strongly. Sinan clenched his hands tightly. His body moved to sit on its knees in front of Aisyah. Until this moment he did not even think if the mama could say such a thing.
"Sorry my mother is a aunt"
"If you want to continue this relationship, aunt does not matter. Provided you promise to keep your daughter and granddaughter well. The reason aunt tells you when Anya does not say anything so you know and can anticipate inappropriate sentences like that spoken again by your family members. After marriage, there is no family or mine. We're all family"
There's nothing Sinan can say now. He could only nod to promise if all the things he feared would never happen. Sinan accepts Anya as well as Arum.
**
Something strange happened to Sinan 3 days ago. The man sitting next to him was too silent but there was a lot of attention he had since yesterday.
Sinan did not say anything, but sometimes the man beside him brought food for Anya.
Or maybe give a toy to Arum and the Wine twins. Or also send a message to him just asking if he had eaten or not.
A lot of attention given but minimal with speech.
Like now, for example. The journey to the restaurant where Sinan's parents had dinner was lonely when Arum began to fall asleep. Previously Sinan was still joking with Arum who made this daughter closer to Sinan. But now Sinan's gaze was straight ahead, only once glancing and then smiling faintly.
"Why? Anybody want to tell me?" anya's words just now managed to make Sinan turn his head completely once he stopped at the red light.
Sinan's hand gently rubbed Arum's head, complete with the man's gaze that seemed to refuse to look directly at Anya's face. "none. You're not nervous?"
"You nervous?" ask Anya back.
"Rumpish. Very, very nervous"
Anya laughs. "Squeaky. So almost 3 days you're really irrit talking, just because you're nervous to meet your own parents?"
The headband that Anya got from Sinan, then the two eyes looked back at her eyes. Eyes full of disbelief and full of fear.
Anya's forehead wrinkled confused "Why?"
"I'm nervous, I'm afraid that later there will be my mama's words that make you hurt"
Anya smiled thinly. Just with Sinan's sentence just now, Anya knew that if mother told Sinan yesterday. But now he wants to pretend not to know first "Example like?"
"Why don't you tell me about my mama An?"
If you are dealing with Sinan. Then all pretending will never work at all. "At first the story. Just your father sent an apology message, so it's not a story"
"sorry"
"For what? I'm the one who's sure stepped forward to your unit. That means I'm no longer fighting about it. Just if it happens again, the rich will be a different thing from now"
Sinan shook his head firmly. " It won't happen again. I promise you and Arum the same promise" Sinan said, kissing Anya and Arum's forehead alternately before returning to the restaurant.
