My girlfriend, my daughter-in-law (Mantu becomes sister-in-law)

98. Jihan's Story

"You can't go." Ban Akbar.

"Mas, that Dodo is in a lot of pain. I think maybe my arrival will ease him for the rest of his life. I'm sorry for the Dodo." Sissy said.

Akbar sat down before his wife. The woman he married 7 months ago. Akbar's hand held the 33-year-old woman tightly. As a husband, he did not want to see his wife sad. When Ilham came to ask Jihan to meet the critical Dodo, Akbar immediately expressed his objection to Ilham.

"Sorry, ham. I don't think we should involve Jihan with Dodo's business anymore. You know what, ham? Jihan was traumatized by Dodo. I don't want to add to his already healed trauma." Akbar conveyed his objection.

"Sorry, Bar. But Dodo was eager to meet with Jihan's sister. You can join brother Jihan to meet Dodo." replied Ilham trying to convince Akbar.

"I don't know Dodo. But from the story of Jihan I have concluded that Dodo is not a good man. Sorry, ham whatever the reason I still don't allow Jihan to meet people who hurt her."

Inspiration cannot do much. He just conveyed Dodo's trust. Although he justified Akbar's actions, because after marriage the movement of the wife must be permission of the husband.

The Akbar Residence

" I know, honey. You are sorry Dodo, your heart is very airy because it can make peace with the massalu. But I'm sorry I still won't let you see Dodo. I don't want you to get hurt again. Just give him a prayer through your prayer. That's already lightened up Dodo."

Jihan could not argue with her husband. He believes that Akbar forbade it not without reason.

"Sorry, Mas. I'm not going to see Dodo." Reply Jihan resigned.

"Sorry, sweetheart. I don't want to restrain you. But I'm just worried that your trauma will open up again. It's for your own good."

"No papa, ma'am. I know this as a form of your love for me." Akbar clutches Jihan's body. Gives the most comfort to his wife.

Jihan laid her head on her husband's thigh. Akbar's hand also stroked the hair of his halal lover. Akbar's age of 6 years younger than Jihan did not make the two hindered. The love they started after marriage did not dampen the spirit to build chemistry.

The faces of the two were getting closer. A small kiss from the lips of the two was finally channeled, Akbar pulled Jihan's body to freely touch his wife.

As they were about to channel the desire, suddenly the phone rang. At first Akbar ignored his play, but after finding out that it was his sister's phone, Akbar finally picked it up.

📞 Hello, Assalamualaikum, Mayang.

📞 Waalaikumsalam, Bang. Sorry, bang if you bother for a second. Mayang wants to know that Edo's brother Bian died.

📞 Edo who's the doctor? Innalilalahi wa Innalilahi. When and where?

📞 I just got word, brother. He said it hurt hard, bang. He is still in rehab. Today he wants to be sent to the village and buried in the graves of his parents and brother Bian. Brother can use our house to hold his body until Eda Santi arrives in Jakarta.

Akbar speechless. The problem is that he doesn't know Edo, he only knows Bian, Edo's brother. Since childhood his father did not introduce his cousin who lived in the village. Because of their economic limitations, the father rarely returned to the field. Edo's mother was his father's younger brother. But according to the story, the tantenya was first married after high school.

📞 Can. I will take care that Edo can be brought home before being sent to Medan. You go home too 'Kan mayang.

📞 Sorry, Bang. I can't go home. I'm still drunk.

📞 Yes, no papa. You take good care of your brother.

📞 Okay, bang. Hopefully my brother can follow.

Mayang and Akbar shut down air communications. The man sat next to his wife. Tell me the news that Mayang told me.

"Innalillahi wa Innalilahi. You are patient, my mother. Where's the body?" Ask Jihan curiously.

"Edo is still being replaced. There is a family representative who will take Edo to be buried in the village. You remind me of my promise to take you to meet my family. Let us take Edo to his final rest.

I'll get ready first, yeah. You stay home, tell Mr. Tamrin if any of my brothers are dead."

"Ready, boss."

Jihan moved from the room to the living room. Since her marriage, Jihan has been taking her husband to her in-laws' house. Because Akbar said, it's a pity that the house is empty because Mayang joined her husband in Bandung. Jihan who used to live luxury must get used to living in a simple house Akbar. But it doesn't matter, anyway Jihan always helped Akbar. Her husband is good at cooking, even teaching her to cook.

Not long after Akbar left. A car stopped in front of the fence. Jihan came out to welcome guests, she guessed that her guests were her husband's family.

A young woman got out of the car. Jihan immediately approached the woman who asked to be called Eda.

"I'm Akbar's Eda. You're Akbar's wife. Why does your face look old?"

Jihan only grinned when her Eda Akbar called herself old. He could not get angry because it was a fact that he was older than Akbar. Jihan brought some of her guests into her house. But Eda forbids.

"You are the host. So don't you have to pick up the stuff. Let that be the driver who brought the goods. You're cooking enough for me. Hungry after a long trip. You can cook, right?"

Jihan swallowed her saliva. All this time the cook at home was her husband. He only cooked rice in magicjar and cooked indomie.

Well how is this? Would I admit that I can't cook.

"Sister Jihan?" Sari came after hearing Akbar's house accommodate his cousin's body.

"Yes, sar. What's up?"

"We cook together yuk!" Take Sari who heard Jihan was overwhelmed by the requests of Akbar's family.

"When did you come here? Same Jonathan, huh?"

"alone. Mas, Jo already let me play mother's place." explained Sari.

Akbar's family guests have 5 people. One woman and four men. Jihan makes coffee for her guests. While Sari cooks Gulai assisted by her mother, Sari's mother. .Sari's close relationship with Akbar's family is indeed very close. Moreover, Sari and Akbar had a close relationship.

Shortly after the ambulance came to take out a crate. Eda Akbar immediately hugged the chest. Eda's loud cries made the citizens calm the woman down.

"Edo.. Edo ... Why did he die like this? You're our pride in the village, son." Her crying.

"So patient, yeah. Edo was calm, he was no longer sick" Jihan said.

After the casket was taken down, the hospital showed the faces of the bodies to the mourners. Jihan who was in the room to calm Eda was also curious about the figure of Edo. Slowly Jihan approached the box.

Jihan's head felt heavy when she saw who the corpse was. His body was limp and his vision felt dark.
