At first I felt stiff and nervous instead of playing, but Kak Rys family was so friendly and open, making me feel comfortable being among them. I started to have a warm conversation with them. Even Maggie's aunt came and brought a tray of cookies and potato chips she put on a table that could be lifted here and there and placed in the middle of us who were still beside the mattress, with me still sitting next to Alardo where his expression this time was warmer and looked happy to feel more alive.
“hai.. brother!” the voice of someone interrupts their chatter, I want to look at him want to know who came, but my hand is pulled by Brother Rys, until my face is hidden in the field.
“eums.. Alin.. Get your brother's veil!” tell her to Alina, she nods understandingly now I understand she must be a non mahram man who just entered our room.
“pelit amat.” pouty, but Kak Rys did not respond. I felt him pull me up and look at me for a long time, before he put my veil on to make me smile, my husband helped me keep my maru’ me.
“terthank” whiskey.
“my obligation” answered him who also whispered.
“yaampun.. Alin wants to marry also abi” chirp Alin intruded me and Rys who were lulled in the gaze. I looked down awkwardly, while the ice cube as usual was calm and flat, I found his face not as friendly as before.
“can as long as the candidate is there” answer abi without burden.
“heum.. and I just come to your wedding” said Ryszard.
“oke..” replied Alina was happy like she really wanted to get married.
“oh yes son. He's ummi's eldest son, his name is Alan, Alardo's older brother and Alina.” Tell ummi. The man named Alan with those pitch-black eyes, but I decided that look, his eyes were so thick and a little scary even though Rys's blue eyes were also thick but not creepy there.
“eum.... Hanna..” I hesitated to answer, she made me uncomfortable but I did not want to show it and made Kak Rys and his family offended.
“my wife” continued brother Rys while hugging my shoulder from the side.
“I already know” candanya then sit next to ummi eat the pastry.
I felt watched, since this whole conversation, made me uncomfortable and clasped tightly onto Rys's big brother's hand which seemed to understand my feelings where he also held my hand. Makes me feel protected.
I cook with ummi in the kitchen preparing dinner, occasionally hearing her stories about Rys's insomnia and the form of pain that turned her into what she is today.
“sorry if his attitude is hard to guess, but I'm sure you can do it” he said and I nodded.
“ummi hope you want to help her get back on the right path!”
“I will try aunty, it has become my duty as his wife.” Answer straightforward.
“are Rys's father and mother also Muslim?” I asked, oh yes I forgot, my uncle and aunt and children are a mulim.
“no son. His sister my husband converted before marrying me, and we immediately married after. Because he did not want his sophistication to be considered just because he wanted to marry me, so he went to study religion with a bear and then 5 months later came to my house to propose to my father” story with a radiant face. Makes me feel overwhelmed by that. Sweet story’ batiknku.
“besides being stubborn, he is also stupid in conveying his own feelings, so this ummi child must be patient with the north polar ice cap ya” your message ummi jokingly, but it is true. I laughed because ummi himself called it the north polar ice, so I had a friend call it ice only there is a term for ice. Why the ice, I shook my head and began to focus on cooking again before abi and sister-in-law came home from the mosque, while my husband was sitting alone with his sister Alina who again gave up longing. Where they're a couple from Alan.
