Love Because of Obligation

Visiting the in-laws

According to the tradition in their area of residence, after one day of marriage the bride and groom must bail out the husband's family and bring some food to eat with the extended family.

The mother helped prepare a loud tote containing the food that Aira would bring to her husband's extended family.The mother gave her advice without stopping her work.

"son, you must regard your mother-in-law's house as in your own house later, so that they may regard you as their own child,!" said mother.

"yes, sister. don't be shy!" added Sifa who also helped clean the kitchen.

"yes, Mom" replied Aira quietly. "you what the hell, deck!" Aira nudged Sifa's arm.

"Sifa, right Ra, you must dare to make a decision for yourself, to be better in the future!" mother strengthened Aira's confidence.

"right, brother!" Sifa was proud. Sifa is smart to talk and very confident.

"Yes, it's almost done. Ra, now it's just you and Anwar getting ready!" mother told Aira to call Anwar to prepare.

"Don't forget, beautiful dress up!" Sifa the bawel reminded.

Aira immediately passed away leaving the kitchen and went to the room.in the room, Anwar was lying on the bed, his body felt tired from lack of sleep all night.

"Sorry" Aira felt awkward, this was the first time she was alone with her husband in the room.His heart beat so fast, that she forgot what to do.

"Obviously, Ai. just assume I don't exist!" anwar said, "we don't have to go, if you don't want to!" anwar's tone seemed to threaten him with subtle language.

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything, please protect me in front of my family!" Aira cried with a position still standing at the end of the bed.

"Don't blame yourself, I should have asked you for your immediate approval at that time." Anwar raised his head. leaning on the head of the bed. felt regret because he had not asked Aira previously about her intentions.

at that time he was just joking with Aunt Tisya, "if Aira was his match. without thinking long Aunt Tisya helped her come to ask Aira's mother and relatives, with a process that was so short that both parties finally held their marriage.

"I'm just asking, please don't hurt me!" Aira tried to control herself, trying not to cry anymore "however I will do my best for my family"

"Oh, yes, I asked you to get ready to go!" Aira reminded Anwar, if they do not do this tradition, then the family will question them.

After being asked by Anwar, Aira moved from the end of the bed, bringing her replacement clothes into the bathroom.

Not long after, they went out of the room as well as ordinary brides.

"Hem" Sifa mocked her brother with a big smile.

Anwar helped Aira lift the call that mother had prepared. Aira walks after Anwar, before leaving they shake hands with family members first. Sifa uttered "hopefully happy" to her sister-in-law.

At Anwar's house, his family was ready to wait for the arrival of the newlywed couple with joyful faces. Anwar is the eldest of four siblings two sisters have married and have children.

Anwar has been the backbone of the family, meeting the needs of the family and the cost of his sister's school.His father was not able to work, maybe that reason that made him late to marry.

Without saying much Anwar held Aira's hand into his parents' house. dozens of eyes were fixed on Aira. with eager residents of the house also answered their greetings simultaneously.

Aira followed her husband to greet family members Anwar who had been sitting in a stabbing.when greeting his mother a little while, Anwar's mother cried and hugged him while saying a prayer of hope to her favorite child.

"Son Aira, I hope you are not disappointed with Anwar's family just like this" Aira's father-in-law said as she wanted to kiss her rightful hand to her own mother.

Aira was surprised by her father-in-law's words, her face flushed red, but she hasn't broken a word since arriving.

The wise Anwar read the situation, immediately taking Aira to sit where she had been provided.he held Aira's right hand over her cross-legged thigh, as if she was very proud to have Aira's wife.

His two sisters served food to eat together. afterwards chatted and joked so that Aira was more familiar with his new family. Sometimes Anwar interrupts the conversation defending Aira.

In his heart he felt grateful for this situation.

Aira tried to show a happy face to her husband's family, whatever their questions were answered with a soft word and a smile. Before returning home, Aira gave money to Anwar's parents without being asked.
