Charm Wife Titipan

24. Dinner

Nimas and Shaka take Mr. Ridwan and Ms. Rahma up to the terrace. The two parents were escorted by Shaka's personal driver. Nimas' sad face is still visible. Maybe the woman wanted to stay with her parents longer, but because of the fact that they had just received disappointed, so the two parents decided to go home early.

"Mas."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I was in a chat with Mama. When do we go back there?"

"Are you sure of your decision? It's not a trivial thing to me."

For Nimas the same, this is not an easy thing for him. Never greeted unfavorably by both of them makes it a little truma. But is it not too selfish if he is selfish? There are parents who miss their children to go home.

"I'm sure, Mas. I'll tell you later that I'm not comfortable."

"Well, when do you want it?"

"Later night can be, faster is better. They're not used to being far away from you, are they?"

Shaka is actually not sure if he should live with his own parents. Given the opposition he received made him feel bad if he had to leave Nimas with them.

However, from yesterday the woman unceasingly whined and persuaded him to obey her.

***

At seven o'clock in the night, Shaka and Nimas arrive at the Narendra family's nuclear home. The two old men of Shaka were waiting for them on the porch.

"Finally, you go home too. Mama has been waiting since. Eat right away, yeah. My mom is hungry."

Nimas returned the welcome with a sweet smile, that was all he could give because he was still awkward with his own mother-in-law.

While Shaka just stared flatly at the two parents who were very visible that they were forcing themselves to be nice. Shaka does not believe in her mother's rapid change. He worries if there is a plan hidden behind his kindness.

Not that he meant to be prejudiced against his own parents. But seeing yesterday's incident about Nimas' parents who know the condition of his son, of course it makes Shaka think that both parents are telling.

They reached the dining table, plenty of food available at the table. There are various side dishes and vegetables there.

"Where do you want to eat, Mom?" nimas asked, intending to take food for her husband.

"I want...."

"Good night, Om, Auntie. Sorry I'm late. Oh there's a newlywed apparently here." Raisa came to know who invited. Looks like he brought something for Ms. Marissa I don't know what.

Marissa was already familiar with Raisa. Since the beginning of the relationship, Shaka has been open with his parents about Raisa.

"Sit down, you're not too late. We're just about to start dinner."

Shaka seemed to take a long breath. Having just set foot in the house, he had already been treated to a scene like this. For what he came to the house if not nothing no one appreciates him and also Nimas.

"Nimas, get me something to eat!" tell Shaka to look at the table in front of him.

"What do you want to eat?"

"You don't know what your husband's favorite food is? Ish, suck! Shaka let me get it, yeah."

"No. Honey, whatever you take I'll eat. Get me some food." Shaka ignored Raisa's words.

Nimas was of course surprised by the affectionate call for him. With a slightly trembling hand as well as an unpleasant feeling to Raisa he took the food available at the table.

So much food, Nimas was confused about which one to take. She does not know Shaka's favorite food, nor does she know what foods make her husband itchy or allergic. He was afraid if he took it wrong.

By saying bismillah, Nimas took a variety of fish and green vegetables. Raisa smiled slanted as Nimas picked up the kale vegetable.

"Say if there's less."

"That's enough," replied Shaka who began to break out in cold sweat.

Yeah, that guy's afraid of vegetables. Once in childhood he picked vegetables in the garden of his grandfather's grandmother and he clearly saw caterpillars in the leaves of the vegetable. Since then, he has been afraid of any green vegetables. He will sweat cold or tremble a little when he sees vegetables. Actually what makes him afraid is a caterpillar, but because he had seen a caterpillar in the leaves, he became thinking that all green vegetables will be infested with caterpillars.

"Let's eat, Shaka! He said you'd eat whatever your wife took, "challenge Raisa.

The words of Raisa certainly made Nimas set his eyes on her husband. Is there something wrong with taking food for her? Nimas' forehead shriveled as soon as he saw Shaka whose face was suddenly filled with sweat.

"Mas, are you sick? What's up?"

"No, I'm fine, really. Let's eat so we can go to the room, "shaka told Nimas. He tried not to heed his fear and immediately ate.

Ms. Marissa just stared at each other in silence with Raisa. They wonder how Shaka can fight his fear of kale vegetables that deliberately Bu Marissa request to be presented at the dinner table.

While the one in the face is actually trying his hardest to cover his tremors and trying to forcefully insert the vegetables.

"Shaka, don't be forced if you can't eat!" said Ms. Marissa.

"Why should I stop eating? I can eat all this."

Why is Mama talking that way? What foods can't Shaka eat? My God, am I really wrong to take food for her?

Shaka's stern look threw at his mother. He knew he was doing this for sure to bring down Nimas. For the rest of Shaka's life, he had never seen green vegetables at the dinner table before.

"Darling, I'll wait in the room, yeah. Don't eat it for long."

Shaka deliberately makes Raisa hot by talking friendly to Nimas. Not to forget he gave a swipe at the top of his little woman's head. He knew what he was doing would make Raisa upset and jealous.

Shaka is upset, because Raisa is too brave to talk disrespectfully to his wife.

"Yes, this is a little. I will soon follow," said Nimas who was suddenly nervous.

Raisa looked at the back of Shaka and Nimas who were still chewing her food.

"You don't feel pretentious about winning Nimas, he did it just wanted to make me jealous. He tested whether my love was still there for him or not. Because I'm sure she's still there for me and it's still big."

"I've never felt victorious over anyone, Raisa. Why are you so worried? I don't care if you guys are together again. That's if Shaka wants to. Excuse me, yes Ma, Pa. I'm going to the room first. Good night and good rest."

Nimas left the dining table afterwards and went upstairs where her husband's room was.

As he approached the door, Shaka's voice was vomiting. His voice sounded very clear in his ears, signaling that his vomit seemed so severe.

"Jeez, why are you?"

Shaka walked out of the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bed. Sipping half a glass of water given by Nimas. His face was pale and his breathing was a little stingy.
