Zahra was confused what the two people were laughing at?
"Here you go, let's serve the food."
Say Laras while continuing to smile and then bring some dishes to the dining table outside the kitchen.
"You really made this?"
Whisper Zahra when Laras isn't there.
"You underestimated me, huh? hm..."
Instead of answering, Melati asked back and left the confused Zahra.
...
At the dinner table, everyone gathered. Including Gibran who just came from taking care of something.
"Well, mama's making new dishes?"
Ask Gibran while taking the food Melati made. He guessed his wife who had made a new recipe because it was the first time it was on the family's dining table, and there was no way Zahra was cooking, he said, since she was still not very healthy so there was no way Laras would let her work in the kitchen.
"If that were true, mama really wanted to be able to make this kind of cuisine, but had not had time to learn. And certainly not the mama who cooked it, but our future daughter-in-law."
"Ohuk..."
The Sultan, Melati and Zahra compactly choked upon hearing what Laras said.
But what makes Zahra choke is different from what makes Sultan and Melati choke.
The Sultan and Melati reflex chokes because Laras calls Melati his future son-in-law.
Zahra, she still could not believe that the delicious food currently in her mouth was Jasmine cuisine.
Gibran understood with his wife's intention, he saw Melati at a glance and smiled.
Jasmine bowed in embarrassment, the face behind her niqab was now flushed red.
But the Sultan smiled happily. At least, even though he has not said his relationship with Melati to his parents. But his parents already knew and as it seemed, they certainly praised his relationship with Melati.
...
"It's always been here, baby." Said Laras, feeling unwilling the girl who was familiar in just a matter of hours with him was gone.
"It's Allah's aunt, then I say goodbye, assalamualaikum."
Melati kissed the back of Laras' hand and clenched her palm greeting Gibran.
"Good rest, by the way." Saying Melati to Zahra.
Sultan drove Melati home, he was waiting for Kevin in front of his school, but Melati was not good and asked him to take her home, and later Melati herself who would pick up Kevin.
"Thank you for this beautiful day." Jasmine.
He was very happy because the Sultan had brought him to his house and made him familiar with Laras which made him feel that he had been missing from his super busy parents.
"I thank you, you have complemented my mother's happiness with your presence." Soft Sultan.
"Yes, I'll excuse you. Assalamualaikum." Sultan.
"Getishalight."
...
After the Sultan leaves, Melati does not enter the house but immediately picks up the car keys in her bag and drives to Kevin's school to pick her up.
Melati really misses her sister. Learning about togetherness from the Sultan's family, Melati so understand one thing, if togetherness is very valuable. He should be grateful, because there is always his ignorant sister who always fills his day with his naughty temptations.
...
Right up in front of Kevin's school, Melati heard her phone ringing.
Melati stopped her car on the left side of the road and picked up the phone that turned out to be from her parents.
"Waalaikumsalam mah, yes I was waiting for Kevin in front of his school." Melati said to her mother across the phone.
