MARRIED

S2 - Rayyan's

Today is Rayyan's day. Rafa had been going to the airport since an hour ago. While Salma was busy preparing dinner dishes with Eowyn and Bi Yati. Both Salma and Adit's parents had also gathered in their home. Everyone was so happy to welcome Rayyan home.

Adit who had just returned from the office immediately greeted both his parents and in-laws. Then set foot into the kitchen, looking for his beloved wife who used to welcome him when he came home.

"Busilyaaaa.until he forgot to welcome his husband home from work" said Adit while peeping Salma's cheek from the side.

The two did not feel awkward even though Eowyn and Bi Yanti were there. For Eowyn, he was happy to see his Mom Papa who remained romantic even though he was not young anymore.

"Nanggung, mom. This will soon have to be removed from the oven." he replied pointing at the cake that was still in the oven.

"Lagian mas Adit was also not ngabarin will return from the office at what time" he added.

Adit nodded. "So there was a meeting, I can't be sure what time it was. Not knowing it is finished more flat." explained Adit while sipping the fruit that is being cut Eowyn.

"Chiyhhh... Papa! Haven't washed your hands yet." exclaimed Eowyn.

"Hmmm..great as Mama." Adit ruffled Eowyn's hair with a smile.

"Bathletes, mas. Let me go upstairs to get a change of clothes."

"okay." Adit turned around and immediately left the kitchen.

"Ma. I'm done" said Eowyn, washing her hands.

"Udah? Thank you yes. You're with Grandpa and grandma."

"Males ah, Ma. It'll be later on that I mulu."

"Isshhh.com and his grandparents could not do that. Grandpa grandma instead of pecengin, you are too serious nanggepinnya" said Salma while removing the cake from the oven and put it dicooling rack.

"Come hunted. Mama wants to go upstairs and get Papa's clothes." continued Salma while pushing Eowyn's body out of the kitchen.

"Aren't my cars chafing?" it was the first question Rayyan asked as she walked towards the parking lot.

"Well bang, how dare I make abrasions. Can be confiscated my motor with Papa."

Rayyan smiled, then opened the passenger door beside the steering wheel.

"Didn't want to drive?" ask Rafa while thrusting the car keys on Rayyan.

"No, I'm tired. Please enter my suitcase yes." pinta Rayyan who then immediately sat quietly in the passenger seat.

His return this time was happy enough. He no longer has to be far away from his family, especially he can at any time eat the cuisine of his mother who has always been his favorite since childhood.

"Lo make trouble again?" rayyan asked breaking the silence of the journey.

"No, why?"

"Papa story if you and Eowyn have to work during the semester break tomorrow to get some pocket money."

"Ahhhh..it's a Papa who is the same sentiment as me."

Rayyan screeched, then punched Rafa's arm quite hard.

"Awww...pain, bang!" screeched Rafa while glaring towards Rayyan.

"Try if you nurutin all my talk from the past, will not be dizzy about pocket money. Aja's girlfriend who lo pusingin, playful mulu his work."

"Yes God, bang. If not now, when else to play? Tomorrow if it's work, where there's leisure time like now."

"I mean, you're too relaxed about living. Don't have a benchmark of life achievement, that's it."

"God, shit!" swear Rafa while putting his thin smile on the brother.

"How's eowyn?"

"Pure. But Andrew's back from the UK, he's sure to contact Eowyn again."

"Yes-yes, Eowyn's sister!" Rafa purposely said it in a high tone.

"Don't hit that one, Bang. Again driving too, notar if why-why how?"

"No way, at least your arm is why" replied Rayyan indifferently while continuing to check his phone.

"Still single, Bang?"

Rayyan scrunched her forehead while looking towards Rafa. "You mean?"

"Rafa asked, now my brother's status is still single?"

"Still."

"Beuh, single people are very proud." said Rafa.

"What can you be proud of your dating status?"

"Not lonely, like hahahahaha...."

"Want me to hit again?" threatening Rayyan who had glanced sharply at Rafa and his right hand that had been raised upwards.

"Hahahaha.don't, Bang. I asked doang. Emang... during the time in LA brother did not have a crush on that girl? Bule's got a spell, Bang."

Rayyan did not respond to Rafa's words, the focus of her eyes was still on her phone.

"Gue doain so bucin lo bang if you fall in love again ntar." muttered Rafa who can still be heard by Rayyan because of their distance is not too far away.

Rayyan again chose not to respond to Rafa's words. Because for Rayyan, responding to every word Rafa will only lead him to the rise in blood pressure in him.

🎎

Rayyan's arrival at home was welcomed by family members. Both of her grandmothers were reluctant to stay away from their first grandchild, beating Salma who had no place to be with her firstborn.

After the family dinner was over, everyone sat in the living room to talk. Many things are discussed, not only about Rayyan's college years while in LA, but also discuss the three brothers' childhood. Avoiding talking about work, Adit chose to focus on family time only.

"Udah's almost eleven, looks like we should take a break. Rayyan must also need a break, right?" bagas.

The family time event was finally over, and left Salma who helped Bi Yati to beberes in the kitchen.

"You haven't slept?" salma asked as she saw Rayyan walking closer to the refrigerator to get some drinking water.

Rayyan nodded. "Wait for Mama" she answered briefly.

"Why? Papa has gone up first and did not wait for Mama anyway." joked Salma who managed to make Rayyan smile. He knew, there must be something Rayyan wanted to tell him.

After washing her hands and asking Bi Yati to get some rest, Salma approached Rayyan who was still standing in front of the refrigerator while holding her drinking bottle.

"Come here." pinta Salma as she spread out her hands.

Without waiting any longer, Rayyan immediately stepped out and entered the arms of the Mother.

"You are an adult Rayyan, so it's too jaim to just hug and say kangen with Mama" said Salma while rubbing Rayyan's back.

"I miss Mama" said Rayyan, hugging her mother.

He was not a spoiled child, but he was also very close to his mother like his other two brothers. How could he not have a strong bond with Salma if since childhood all his needs and his sisters are always handled directly by Salma.

"You know, Mama's always waiting for you to talk honestly like that Mama. Just to just say kangen to Mama aja you jaim really, you should learn with Rafa who likes to talk about ceplas-ceplos."

"But I just said kangen to Mama" Rayyan grumbled as she let go of her embrace.

Salma smiled, then rubbed Rayyan's face gently. "Don't be ashamed to say anything to Mama. Until you gray hair, you will still be a little Rayyan Mama who used to like to ask for a sling because she just wanted to be hugged."

Rayyan smiled considering her childhood which might have been so spoiled to her Mama. In the past, he was so afraid that Salma's attention to him diminished because of the presence of his two younger siblings. So he often sulked asking to be carried in order to linger hugging the mother.
