HIJRAH IS LOVE

Chapter 45. Aisha's Happiness

"From Mas Ikhbar? Since when did Ghibran and Mas Ikhbar get close and call each other?" asked Annisa with a full face.

Ghibran smiled obliquely at the words of his cousin's sister. If only it were not for the coincidence of meeting here, he would definitely avoid. In the man's heart, he would never take his wife to a family meeting, whenever and wherever it was held.

The patience of a human being has its limits. She doesn't want to lose Aisha just because of her family's mouth. Ghibran stood up and approached Aisha, holding her daughter.

"You should be grateful I told you about your in-laws. Maybe with your presence when in-laws are sick, they can improve the household. Instead of suspecting me, Annisa," said Ghibran with great emphasis.

"Why are you emotional, Ghibran? Annisa just asked, since when are you familiar with Ikhbar. That's all she asks because you have never been close to her husband all this time, what's more since you got married" said Ibu Nur.

The ghibran took a deep breath. He did not want to fight with his mother. Better decide to leave. It is also for the good of the wife. I don't want all this to affect her pregnancy.

"Sorry, Mom. Me and Aisha pamit. My wife must be exhausted. I'm afraid it's affecting her pregnancy."

Without waiting for an answer or approval from the mother, Ghibran shook the hands of his parents followed by Aisha and Syifa. Mother said nothing, only the look on her face that looked sullen.

Arriving at the apartment, Syifa was already asleep. Probably exhausted. Tonight until her room is finished in the decor, the little girl sleeps with them. All Aisha's will.

Before returning home, they had dinner, so they could immediately lay their tired bodies.

"Darling, I'm sorry, mom, yeah. I promise I won't take you to your mother's house again" Ghibran said.

"It's okay, Mom. If I never came home, I would hate me even more. I accept it because after all it is the mother who has given birth to a son as great as you. As long as you don't change, I will still survive" said Aisha.

"Thank you for your understanding to mom. I will try to keep my eyes open and see your sincerity" Ghibran said.

"Mas, we can't force someone to like us. It's all about the heart" Aisha replied.

Aisha is just a diligent housewife and is affectionate with her family. Every morning, she would wake up early to prepare breakfast for her husband, Ghibran. Usually, he will prepare rice, side dishes, and vegetables and fruit to complete it.

This morning Aisha woke up earlier than usual. He wanted to prepare a special breakfast for his family, especially for the little one. Aisha opened the refrigerator and looked for available groceries. He found some eggs, sausages, and vegetables. Aisha is interested in making scrambled egg and sausages.

Aisha started preparing the ingredients for cooking. He sauteed garlic and shallots in cooking oil until fragrant. Then, he put the vegetables and sausages into the onion. When the vegetables and sausages had withered a little, Aisha hit the eggs and mixed them with the stir-fry. He churns the eggs until they are ripe and look delicious.

After scrambled egg and sausage were ready to be served, Aisha called Ghibran and Syifa for breakfast. The boy was happy with his mother's breakfast. "Well, Mommy, the taste is so good!" he hit his little hand.

"Of course, S, dear. Make my child whatever is best." replied Aisha with a sweet smile.

After breakfast, Aisha cleans the kitchen and prepares to cook the family dinner. He was happy to prepare food for his family. For him, cooking food is not just a task, but also a way to express his love for family.

"Are you ready for dinner tonight?" Ask Aisha to Ghibran and Syifa. They both nodded with smiles.

"Of course, Mommy. What do you want to do for dinner?" ask Syifa.

"This time, we'll eat steak and salad. Papi and Syifa would have liked it, right?" aisha said cheerfully.

"Okay, then Papi will buy meat and vegetables. Let mami cook it." said Ghibran.

"Thank you, my husband" Aisha replied gratefully.

That evening, the little family enjoyed a nice and healthy steak and salad. The son and husband were very happy.

"Mommy, you are the best!" Syifa.

"Yes, it's really delicious. I'll have to." said Ghibran.

Aisha was very happy to see them happy with the food she was serving. They not only eat together, but also build family togetherness and intimacy. This is what makes Aisha love her family even more.

"Mommy, what are you going to do tomorrow?" ask Syifa with sparkling eyes.

"We make pasta, huh?" aisha.

"What is pasta, Mi?" ask Syifa curiously.

"Look at tomorrow" Aisha replied with a smile. It was good to make her daughter curious. Syifa only replied with a smile of temptation from her mother.

After dinner, Aisha and her little family joked and played in the living room until late at night. It was a special day for all of them. Simple things like Aisha's cooking can make her family happy and feel loved.

Aisha was overjoyed, and Syifa's presence added to her happiness. No matter the in-laws still could not accept the presence of the little boy.

"If you want to see rainbows, you have to learn to see rain."
