” Sorry everyone. I ask permission to say something. “ said Elyas when all family members had gathered in the living room after dinner.
“ What's up, son ? “ ask Ruby to represent her husband.
“ Mmmm, sorry in advance. Maybe what I say now is less pleasing in the heart of papa, mama, also brother Roy. But I still have to convey it. “ said Elyas slowly. Even Selsa was curious about what Elyas was going to say.
“ Say. “ says Mr. Manoj.
“ I want to ask permission from papa, mama, also brother Roy to invite Selsa to stay at my house. “ said Elyas. Everyone is still silent.
“ My house is not as big as this house. But anyway, Selsa is already my wife. My responsibility. So wherever I go, I want to take her. “ she continued.
“ Why should I go ? Why not just stay here ? “ asked Mr. Manoj in his flat voice. Weight of course for a Manoj Rakesh let the only one – child go from home. Leaving behind all the luxuries he had felt and obtained.
“ Sorry, pa. I can't leave Umi to stay alone. Umi is old. If there is anything – what is the same umi, I will be very sorry. “ said Elyas.
“ But son Elyas. Selsa is our only – daughter. She never left home except when she was studying abroad yesterday. “ said Ruby objected. Although Selsa never considered it, but he still loved Selsa like his own biological child.
“ He never left us. Selsa .. “
“ I will join the Elyas mas. “ cut Selsa quickly make elyas stunned. He did not expect if Selsa would want to come with him.
“ Papa has married me to Mas Elyas. I'm a wife now. True what is said mas Elyas, if I have to go wherever he will go. “ he continued steady.
Mr. Manoj seemed to be sighing heavily. “ Alright if you want it too. Go, and be happy. “ he said with a heavy tone of voice.
“ Then, allow us .. “
“ But not now, right ? “ cut Ruby when Elyas wants to say goodbye. “ At least, leave tomorrow afternoon. Tonight, sleep in this house again. “ the door really – really.
“ I-iya. “ although not according to his plan, but Elyas still agree. Most importantly, he can stay with her uminya. With his wife now.
He hopes, if Selsa lives with Umi, his wife can turn into a good woman – well. Although one thing that can never be changed according to Elyas.
It's getting night. Selsa has been in her room ever since. Her husband who invited her to stay at his house suddenly, requires that she must immediately pack – items. Clothes, shoes, bags, and more.
While Elyas, like the night – the night before, he will spend his night in the backyard of the Manoj family mansion. Bored is actually the – days he went through the last few days. Just sit quietly in the backyard. Cut it in two days. Sipping hot coffee from a cup that still gives off its bulb.

“ Welcome, son. “ welcome umi when see Selsa get off in the car. Mr. Manoj had forced Elyas to take Selsa's car. Selsa did not want to take him either. She was ready to give up all the luxuries she had to live with her husband.
Selsa slightly bent her body. He still feels awkward with his in-laws. After all, they had only met three times. It was the night that Elyas came to receive an arranged marriage with her, then when the marriage contract, and the third was at the wedding reception.
“ Login. Umi is waiting for you. “ said Elyas because from earlier, Selsa seemed to hide her body behind her.
“ I'm in ? Alone ? “ tanya nervous while pointing her face. “ You ? “
It was obvious that Selsa was nervous and awkward. Elyas. “ I'll drop off your suitcases first. Here there is no magang Braja who will help you carry your suitcase – suitcase that I don't know what it contains. Or do you want to bring it yourself ? “
“ I can't bring it myself. But I can help you. “ bargain Selsa.
“ No need. You go in first. Sapa umi there. After all, he is your in-law now. “ Elyas said.
Selsa finally nodded with doubt. He left Elyas and walked into the house, where Umi had been waiting.
“ Assalamu’alaikum, umi. “ greet Selsa when it is near umi. He then grabbed Umi's hand and kissed the back of her hand. If you just say hello, of course Selsa knows it. But I don't know about the others.
“ Waalaikum greetings. “ say. It was beyond suspicion selsa. Umi pulled her body, then hugged her body while rubbing her back warmly. Unknowingly, Selsa shed her tears. She did not expect that her in-laws would be warm to her. Not like Elyas' cold attitude. He thought the Umi would be indifferent to him.
“ Hey, why are you crying, son ? “ ask umi while frowning her forehead. He saw the daughter-in-law's wet eyes as she stretched out her arms.
Selsa shook her head while smiling. “ Happy selsa, umi. Thank ye. Umi wants to receive Selsa in this house. “ he said sincerely.
Umi cupped both of Selsa's cheeks. “ Umi is also happy you want to stay in this house. Umi happy, finally umi can feel having a daughter. “ he said.
“ Thank you, umi. “ said Selsa, then he hugged Umi's body again. I don't know why she feels like she has a mother now. He promised in his heart, if he would be happy with us as Elyas did.
“ Kok even so cry – cry gini. “ kekeh umi while wiping the corners of her eyes wet. “ Log in yuk. Cook in front of the house continues gini. “ invite umi and Selsa to smile while wiping her cheeks wet from tears. He then pulled out his arm, and led him into the house.
“ This is how Elyas' house. Your husband's house. Not as fancy as your papa's house. “
Selsa. “ Selsa will stay here. Because there's an umi here. A luxurious house, does not guarantee that its residents will definitely live happily, umi. “ he said and Umi smiled.
