47. Important Decisions
That night Arini invited their parents to come to eat together at her house. Bibik seems busy helping Arini in the kitchen accompanied by bi Ijah assistant from the house of Irene's mother-in-law. Arini and Ahmad have not told us the good news they got this morning at the hospital. That's why they invite families to come together.
At 7 pm the family had gathered after performing the Maghrib prayer. They sat in the dining room while chatting familiarly. Dinner had begun, while chatting leisurely. After eating they continued the casual chat in the family room.
"Pa, Dad, mom, Mama and everyone Ahmad and Arini want to say something"
All the families look at each other.
Ahmad placed a small book of the results of the examination of USG Arini this morning on the table with several sheets of photos of the results of the shots of their baby candidates.
Mother Liana and Mama Irene looked at each other and with a pounding they both shouted hysterically like teenagers who managed to get something valuable in their lives.
"Grandson, grandchildren, grandchildren." said Liana's mother vibrantly holding a black-and-white photo showing a baby candidate who is still not fully formed.
Mama Irene hugged her daughter-in-law happily. Tears slid on her cheeks that had looked wrinkled due to age but were still fresh and beautiful.
"Alhamdulillah. Allah is All-Good, All-Given, and trusting in the time that Allah wills. Thank you, son" he said, smiling at Arini's cheeks and head. Similarly, Mother Liana, immediately hugged her favorite daughter tightly.
All the families congratulated Arini and Ahmad. That happiness really felt in the hearts of all of them. When they do not think about the presence of new family members who actually want but do not dare to expect more actually present unexpectedly.
Papa Ahmad distributed cash to the house assistants who were present at Arini's house that night, as a form of happiness and gratitude for the news of Arini's pregnancy.
"One more, pa..." Ahmad made the happy family look at him curiously.
Ahmad held Arini's hand firmly.
"We decided to move to America as soon as possible" Ahmad's voice made her in-laws surprised, neat not with her parents. Because they talked about this a few weeks ago.
" That's the best choice, Dad. I want Arini to be safe and our son to grow up there" Ahmad assured his in-laws. Indeed, since Ahmad expressed his intention to move a few weeks ago his in-laws seemed to disagree. Because after all Arini is their only daughter.
"Actually the strongest reason behind our move was to avoid any enmity that might ensue between me and David's family, well" Ahmad let out his breath. "Dad knows David is obsessed with Arini. And that I'm afraid will make his mind go away, so that he will leave behind various ways to achieve his wishes"
His father-in-law nodded and hugged his wife's shoulders firmly giving her the strength to be sincere. Mother Liana smiled, there was a sad gurgle on her face.
"Yes..." Arini hugged her mother tightly.
Arini realized this was an important decision they chose for the sake of the survival of their safe household without the interference of others.
Arini took a heavy breath, and looked at her smiling mother face sincerely. Murat is sad to see but mother is a woman who is good at hiding her sadness in front of anyone.
"The wife's obligation follows wherever the husband takes her. Provided it's for the good. The greatest reward for a wife is to serve sincerely. We're sincere, son. Take good care of yourself. Don't forget to tell us" Liana's mother kissed her son's cheek lovingly.
Arini as if in her mother's arms. Mama Irene approached and hugged him tightly.
"All for the good of your household, baby. Mama is sure, you can carry your hibiscus safely by supporting each other and always together. We'll always be there for you" Irine's mama stroked the head of her daughter-in-law who was still crying.
The men talk until night, so does Arini with his mother and mother, and aunt and bi Ijah.
It didn't feel like 11 p.m. Their parents decided to go home. Arini had asked them to stay but both refused because tomorrow was a weekday. For a while Bibik at home Arini help all the needs and needs of Arini until they move to America.
