...Live in happiness. Be yourself. If others don't like it. That's their business....
...☘️...
According to the orders of his mother-in-law, Khadijah did not then linger with the activities of changing his clothes.
After all, Khadija also only brought a few pieces of clothing, it is also impossible for him to try and try out which one is right for him to wear, while the choice is also just that.
Khadijah's choice fell on a Plain robe with the color of a lemon, matching the hijab and veil he wore. The color that always makes the white skin of Khadijah becomes brighter like it.
No need to apply solid makeup on his face, Khadija accustomed to the natura only, just add a little thin lipmate on his lips, just to add a fresh impression of his purpose.
After finishing with his simple preparations, Khadija then set foot to meet his mother-in-law and family.
'Pounding ?' sure is.
Not only Khadijah, most of the women out there will certainly feel the same way.
Along with Khadijah's exit, Mbok Nah has also been standing right on the doorstep of Khadijah's room.
"Mba Colored ?" Sapa Mbok Well.
Khadija then knitted his eyebrows together, revealing a small scratch on his forehead, as if he had also seen the middle-aged woman in front of him for the first time.
"I Mbok Well. One of the ART in this house"
Not yet Khadijah asked, Mbok nah already introduced himself.
"Ohh... Mbok Well"
"I am Khadijah Mbok" replied Khadijah kindly.
There was no chat between the two, because after the introduction Mbok Nah brought Khadijah to meet his mother-in-law.
Seen from a distance there were three people sitting at the dining table. Ms. Gita, Mr. Lukman and one is her husband, Aksara.
The thumping feeling just appeared in Khadijah's heart, this is the first time Khadijah saw Aksara in his casual clothes, since last time this morning, Khadijah also met again this time.
'Handsome ?' of course, especially the man he was looking at from his distance, was a man who had been halal even for Khadijah to touch.
"Welded "
Call Bu Gita, do not forget her mother-in-law waved her hand, while patting the chair next to her.
"Yes Ma"
Khadijah then sat right next to his mother-in-law, Although not directly opposite Aksara, but sitting in front of him was enough to make the heart of Khadijah not okay.
It is a stipulation, If Khadijah will sit beside Bu Gita, While Aksara will sit beside his sister, Khadijah will sit next to her, and Mr. Lukman will sit in the main seat that is located at the very end of the other, of course because he is the head of the family.
For a moment Khadija was confused, considering that Bu Gita had wanted to introduce himself to other family members, but there were only 'Khadijah Thought'.
But seeing the smile on Bu Gita's face, enough to explain to Khadija if they are still both waiting for the arrival of their youngest child.
"Assalamualaikum ma !"
Greetings that echoed throughout the space, instantly disperse everyone's daydreams.
"Waalaikumsalam darling"
Khadijah still faithfully bowed his face, it became a habit and it was adab to him. While Bu Gita was standing up to welcome the arrival of his youngest child.
"Sorry, a little long"
"No, dear papa"
The two hugged each other and missed each other, after a few months of not seeing each other.
'Wait !'. There is something different in Khadija's mind. A voice he believed to be the voice of a man. 'But not that'. Khadijah felt familiar with the voice he had just heard.
Bu Gita to pat his eel, because so lulled by the arrival of his youngest son, he almost forgot the existence of Khadijah.
"Honey. Recognize this Khadijah's wife Ka Aksa !"
Bu Gita proudly introduces his son-in-law to his youngest son.
"Khadija. This is Dirga, Aksa's sister !"
Deg.
'Dirga ?' inner Khadijah
Khadija then raised his head, realized a name that was so familiar to him, and is currently being introduced by his mother-in-law.
Not only Khadijah but also Dirga seemed to not believe the words of his mother. Until without waiting for long, Dirga turned her gaze to the face veiled figure who was sitting next to her mother.
Justright. Khadijah mentioned by his mother, is the same Khadijah as the one on his campus.
The two cast a glance at each other, for a moment they still did not believe, if they would be reunited but with a new status that was very confusing.
"Khadija?"
Even so softly but the Dirga Call clearly entered the ears of Khadijah.
"Mas Dirga ?"
Not wrong again, the two just believe that they are currently involved in a sibling relationship where Dirga has become Khadijah's sister-in-law.
Khadijah himself only realized if indeed between her husband and Dirga had a similar name, stupidly Khadija only realized this.
Aksara Virendra Brawijaya and Dirga Virendra Brawijaya. Shouldn't Khadijah have known from the beginning.
Looking at the other attitudes of Dirga and Khadija, the pair of eyes that had been observing earlier, were now just staring with a cold gaze.
'Aksara' . Sure enough the tail of the eyes of Aksara caught the different attitude shown by his sister. I don't know what he's thinking seeing the interaction between his wife and sister.
"Do you guys still want to talk ?"
"I'm hungry already"
"If you still want to reminisce, you better find somewhere else !"
A satirical greeting clearly sounded out from the mouth of the Aksara, and I don't know what it means. By folding the newspaper in his hand, Aksara looks start to be careless with the atmosphere.
"Aksa !"
Dislike the attitude of his eldest son, Mr. Lukman then rebuked Aksara.
"Ma. Pa. Sorry, I'm so tired, you guys just eat. I'll go straight to the room" said Dirga by leaving the dining room.
"Lhoo lhoo... Dirga why ma ?"
Everyone seemed confused by the change in Dirga's attitude which was not as usual. So did Khadijah who felt this was not like the Dirga he knew before him. The clueless Mr. Lukman could only shake his son's demeanor.
In contrast to Mr. Lukman who showed his confused expression . Ms. Gita just reacted normally.
"Udah we eat now only pa, about Dirga later let mama who brought food to her room" said Bu Gita.
"Sorry yes Colored, Maybe Dirga is tired" said Bu Gita to his daughter-in-law.
Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Khadija smiled and nodded her head.
It was a meal together for the first time, but unexpected events just happened. Not only Khadijah but Dirga also seems to be so incredulous if the figure who wants his mama to introduce him is the same Khadijah that he knows.
