Lucia, Charm of Pregnant Maaba

Ask for Restu

The news of Lucia's mother's arrival was heard to the ears of Ghani and Jihan, the couple was very enthusiastic to meet the middle-aged woman who had been waiting from yesterday.

Later that night, Jihan and Ghani were ready to go to Lucia's residence, not forgetting they stopped by a food store to buy fruit.

Arriving at Lucia's residence, Ghani and Jihan get out of the car while carrying some grocery bags.

Ghani seemed nervous and tense, at home he was very confident, but when his guts suddenly shrank, he was very embarrassed to meet his father-in-law from his second wife, their first meeting was not a good one.

Can Ghani appear after a long time he did not know his shame came without saying an apology.

"Mas" Jihan's soft voice and the grip of her hand made Ghani realize it would be too late.

"Quiet, mas. Everything must be smooth" Jihan's warm smile poured down into the depths of her heart and calmed Ghani's great rage.

Ghani took a deep breath and exhaled him long, after gathering courage Ghani nodded confidently.

"Come, we're in" Ghani dropped out.

Jihan began to knock on the door, without waiting for a long time even the door was pulled from the inside, Lucia who was standing there.

"You guys have come? Please come in" Lucia opened the door wide, letting the two people who said they were coming in.

Jihan stepped first, followed by Ghani who followed behind.

"Where's your mother, Lucia?" Tanya Jihan circulated a glance.

"More dressing in the room, ma'am"

"Please sit down first, let me prepare a drink for a while" Lucia continued to her two guests.

As per Lucia's orders, Jihan and Ghani sit on the sofa waiting for Lucia's mother to come out of the room.

"Do you think he wants to see me?" Said Ghani hesitating, he rubbed his palms agitated.

"Of course, mas. Lucia's mother is a good person, let alone we are here also have good intentions to meet. So don't keep thinking negatively about it"

Clekkk

The door of the guest room opened, the sound of the squeak grabbed the attention of the two.

Ghani took a hard sip of saliva, looking at the person who made him feel bad from earlier.

"Mas, let's stand up" Jihan said as Lucia's mother walked out of the room.

Yuni who did not know they had arrived was quite surprised to the point of being wide-eyed, "You guys have come apparently? Oh my sorry for waiting so long"

Yuni approached and hugged Jihan first.

"No, Mom. We just arrived" said Jihan cepika-cepiki like women who meet in general.

"How's mom doing? Healthy?"

"Mother's healthy, son Jihan. What about you guys?"

"We're healthy too, Mom. We're not good at not picking up mom when we want to come"

"Ah, don't be so son of Jihan. You just come mother is happy" Yuni replied, she was very impressed with the young woman in front of her, Jihan always be polite to her, even though Yuni is the in-law of the husband's second wife Jihan.

Now that Yuni turned to the man beside Jihan, the man yelling at Yuni was no less polite.

"For a long time I have not seen Mr. Ghani" she said, smiling sincerely.

"Call Ghani only, I'm also your son-in-law" said Ghani stiff, he is not used to talking casually especially in this situation.

Yuni nodded her head, though not one hundred percent sure yet but she could see Ghani's change in attitude.

They sit back on the sofa, coinciding with Lucia who comes while carrying four glasses on a tray.

"Okay, kid! Why not say the same mother? Carefully watch out for the fall" Yuni deftly petrified her daughter to put the four glasses.

"Father Ma'am" afterwards Lucia joined the others in the living room.

Lucia just grinned while hugging the tray she was carrying.

"What's your mom up here?"

"Get the bus, son Jihan. With a friend of the mother who also wants to go to Jaksel"

"We think mom is still a few days away, because when she went to Lucia she said she didn't know"

"Yes, it wasn't going to be now. But because the work has been completed, so the leave time can be advanced" explained Yuni said, he did not mean to make them misunderstand.

"Aah.... So suddenly, huh? No problem, the important thing is that you have arrived safely"

"Yes, right. Finally, the mother can meet again with Lucia" while wiping her daughter's arm.

Realizing that Ghani was silent, Jihan elbowed the man.

"Mas, love the innate we bought earlier"

"Ah, i-yes"

Ghani then handed the paper bag to the in-laws, nervous he did not realize that the bag was held from earlier.

"Please accept, ma'am. T-this is nothing, just a little gift from us"

"Oh my goodness, so take care of you again. I accept yes, thank you very much"

"Together, ma'am" replied Ghani and Jihan in unison.

Lucia who saw it so strange herself, actually what Ghani is thinking at this time, the man not only often attention to her, but now like looking for attention to the mother.

"Mom how long has it been here?"

"At least bi-weekly, mothers can not take long leave"

They chatted and talked at length, more Jihan and Yuni clashed with questions, others just quietly listened because they were awkward and did not know what to talk about.

"Lucia, can you take me to the kitchen? I'm gonna cut this melon"

"Yes, let me anterin"

Jihan deliberately invites Lucia to move from there, Jihan wants to let Ghani talk alone with her in-laws, the man would want to say something personal with four eyes.

As many as the two women, now the atmosphere is more and more not just because. But Ghani does not want to waste any more time, this is the right time for him.

Silent.

Silent.

Silent.

"I..... Wanted to apologize...." Lirih Ghani lowered his head, not daring to look at the face of the woman who had given birth to his wife.

Yuni remained silent, letting Ghani continue with her words.

"I mean it, I.... I wanted to say this a long time ago, but at that time I did not have the courage"

"I'm really sorry, for what I did. But right now, I realize that it must be God's plan that must happen to all of us. L am.... I really want to improve everything bit by bit"

"I'm sorry for my disrespectful treatment of my mother, past and present. I know time cannot be repeated, but if it is possible... I want to ask for my blessing, even though it feels very late now"

Sentence after sentence Yuni listened carefully, and honestly he could not guess the authenticity of the remark, but Yuni could see the look of regret that was plastered on the handsome face of this young man.

"Is that sincere from your conscience?"

And Ghani nodded without hesitation, "Yes"

"And what is that request also as a sign that you want to maintain the marriage with Lucia?"
