Marrying a Woman of Mother's Choice

Appalak Kana (Requesting Permission)

It was time for Reno to return to Jakarta, her mother looked sad. However, she had to let her son go back to Jakarta and work. He hasn't held Reno in Makassar for too long. Counted already ten days Reno leave after hearing the news that his mother was sick.

"Akur-akurki, son. Don't yell at your wife, remember that all problems can be solved as long as they are spoken to with a cold head instead of using emotions." said his mother gave advice to Reno.

"Jaga your wife, son. If you have glorified your wife, then you have also glorified your mother and your parents. Teak laloki sibesek-beseri (do not ever quarrel), because the household test is many kinds. You should be able to look after Marwah you as a husband. It's the main responsibility." Continue father.

"Device, Sir, Ma'am." Reno replied with a nod.

"Bra pray-ma'am, sir. Pray for our marriage too, may it always be harmonious and peaceful. Kipammopporanga jai dudu punna niak my fault (forgive me as much, if I have it wrong)," said Tenri while greeting one by one both mother and father-in-law.

"Sikatutuiko tope daeng bunting nu massassa mole-mole" daeng Beta added. Where it means to protect each other the bride, so that you can purify each other so on) More or less like it means.

Tears perched under the eyes of the mother and father, sending the departure of the child and his son-in-law to the overseas.

"Bring motereka, son." (Remember to go home, son."

Such was the mother's last sentence when Reno and Tenri had entered the airport waiting room.

Now there were only the two of them, sitting next to each other with a clumsy feeling. The two are not used to talking or interacting. There is still a sense of hesitation and fear to start talking.

"Where do we live in a house or apartment, Daeng?" tanya Tenri broke the silence.

"Where should we live? Home or Apartment?"

"I am just any-ji, Daeng. Provided, I go along, Daeng."

"Then we live in a house, I'm afraid you're not used to the neighborhood like an apartment."

"It's better that way, Daeng. Thank you very much."

From the direction of the loudspeaker reported that the plane they were going to ride would soon depart. Reno packed the things they were carrying. So too with Tenri.

"Let me take it all," said Reno, who immediately lifted the suitcase and other bags.

"Yep, Daeng."

Tenri only carries her bag, Reno seems to care about her. Tenri also felt calm and comfortable with Reno.

Up on the plane cabin, they sat side by side. Reno asked Tenri to sit on the inside only. This is the first time Tenri has flown away from Makassar.

There was a feeling of sadness in his heart, when he would leave Butta kalassukangna (the land of his birth), where he was born and grew up. Land that will always be missed by him at any time.

During the two-hour flight, there was not much they talked about. Reno even seemed indifferent and chose to sleep. Tenri had given her husband her scarf so as not to get cold on the plane. As soon as Tenri's attention is on Reno, the man she just met but her whole life will probably be spent with her.

The plane landed safely, the passengers prepared to disembark. Reno and Tenri packed up. Some of their luggage was placed in the baggage and cabin of the plane. When it was their turn down, Reno protected Tenri from the push of the passengers scrambling down.

In the waiting room, there was Doni waiting for them. Doni waved his hand at Reno and Tenri. The two walked towards Doni.

"Welcome back to Jakarta, Boss." Doni greeted while greeting the two.

"Bu Tenri, welcome to Jakarta" he continued to greet Tenri.

"Dad, thank you."

Doni and Reno were involved in a little talk and Tenri chose to pull over for fear of being considered eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Pure. Emm .. There's only one problem you should solve, Ren."

"Is it Elsa?"

"Dad."

"What's wrong?"

"Maybe you should be honest with him, kasian also if someday he knows you are married. Not to mention your wife, can you keep the feeling your wife won't get hurt?"

"Don't talk about it here, Don. We'll talk after we get in the office."

After talking for a while, they got into the car. "Don, just go straight to the house. Tenri, want to live in a house not in an apartment."

"Good, Boss."

Tenri looked out a lot, watching the sights of Jakarta, most of which he could only watch on TV. Reno, meanwhile, is thinking of the best way to tell Elsa about her marriage.

'Also, if Elsa doesn't accept that I'm married. I'm afraid he'll terrorize Tenri and make him uncomfortable to stay in Makassar. I should be able to tell her slowly. So does Tenri, I have to be honest with him about this. Or ... should I solve my problem first with Elsa just telling her?'

After traveling for about an hour, they finally arrived at a house that was quite magnificent. Of course magnificent, it was the house Reno bought from the sweat of building a company in the field of aggravation.

"This is my home in Jakarta, ah no. This is our home" Reno said, confirming his own remarks.

"The house is so big, isn't it too big for both of us to live in?"

"You won't be two anymore after you have children" Toni chimed in on Tenri's words.

"Well, get home, Don. You still have business at the office, right? By the way, thanks for picking us up at the airport."

"Together, Boss."

"Thank you, Mr. Doni." Tenri added.

"Don't wear it, Doni."

"Ah, okay."

Reno takes Doni forward and Doni whispers to him. "Your wife is beautiful, bro. So natural. Kayaknya city flower. Hehe. He looks good too, very soft when he talks. The character is very different from Elsa who is chatty and more domineering."

"Udah there ...! Don't talk about it here, Tenri will hear."

Expelled like that, Doni even more hurt Reno. After Doni's departure, Reno re-enters Tenri.

"Loh, you're still here? Why don't you just go in the room." Reno's call on Tenri.

"Where's the room? I don't know, Daeng."

"Oh yes, sorry. I forgot that you were here for the first time. Here I take you to the room."

The way they talk is still formal, not using the word 'me' but me. Very, very does not reflect that these two are a couple. The only word that can show the familiarity between them is the call 'Daeng' to Reno that Tenri said.

The best households are those that fill and give to each other. Not counting profits and losses.
