My Husband's Secret

100. Proposal preparation

Mama Rafika and Maysa looked at each other. They didn't know what to say to Riri. Given how stubborn the girl was.

"Ri, don't make Mama a barrier to your future. Mama doesn't matter if you come with your husband later. Mama can take care of herself too. If you stay here just because of Mama, it will make Mama feel guilty" said Mama Rafiqah slowly.

She did not want to be a hindrance to her daughter's happiness. Especially so far Riri has sacrificed a lot for him.

"No, Ma. I've decided this a long time ago. If I leave Mama too, who is Mama at home with? I'm sure Mas Adit knows about this too because from before, I've told him this too."

"But it used to be the same now. Adit's father was still with his wife, now they're in trouble and they're separated."

"But for me, it's still the same. I will still accept Mas Adit's proposal if he can stay with Mama. Even if you can't stay in this house, it's okay. You can be with Mama."

Riri still remained tight-lipped with his stance. She wants to be next to her mother no matter what.

"Mama doesn't matter if you come with your husband later" said Mama Rafiqah who also felt guilty to Riri.

"Ma, if ever Riri will come with her husband. Mama wants to live with me? Mama Mirna also doesn't mind if Mama comes with us. If Mama's at home, Riri and I can't calm down. Even though Mama always said it was okay at home, we still thought. It is not our intention to underestimate the existence of Mama. We're just worried" said Maysa, who was also worried about her mother.

"Better think about it later. To be sure, Mama does not want the existence of Mama to be a barrier to your future. Now we better think about Adit's proposal tonight. Mama did not prepare anything at all so, you are the one who prepared everything," concluded Mama Rafiqah who did not want to discuss this again.

"Why is everything sudden, anyway, Ma? Why not talk about it from yesterday, the day before, so we can prepare first. If it's late tonight, it's very sudden" Maysa said.

"Actually Adit had also said from two days ago, that he would be coming soon, but did not speak when exactly. Anyway Mama told him to propose to Riri immediately."

Maysa exhaled a rough breath. "Yes, it's better now we go looking for something to serve later. Do we also need to prepare dinner, Ma?"

"As much as you guys are. Mama leave everything to you both."

"We buy in restaurants only, there's no need to cook" Maysa said. "I'm picking up the kids, yeah, Ma. Let me be with Riri who's out or if they'll be taken, okay?"

"Let them here. Fear of even soy sauce. Mama can take care of them."

"Yes, let's go, Ri!" take Maysa to her sister.

"What motorcycle are we carrying, brother?"

"Bring the car, if the motorbike later can not bring the food."

Riri nodded, the two said goodbye to Mama Rafiqah and left the house, while the middle-aged woman went to the park to meet Dio and Eira. He also brought drinks for his two grandchildren.

"Come, have a drink! Here's Oma bring you a drink. You must be thirsty, right?"

Dio and Eira immediately enjoyed the drink that the woman brought. They are quite happy to be here, although different from his home, but the affection they both get is the same.

"Oma, I heard a car. Is Mama leaving?" ask Dio.

"Yes, Mama and Aunt Riri went out for a while looking for food. Later also go home, if you want to shower, take a shower first. There's also your clothes."

"Yes, Oma. I've been getting tired of taking a shower" said Dio.

"Band. Eira wants a shower too? Want to be treated to Oma?"

"No, Oma. I can shower myself."

"Okay, Oma's grandchildren are smart all of them. Can do everything yourself."

Dio and Eira went to his mother's room running. The two boys looked so happy.

"Buying in Oma's room can also be or in aunty's room, '" cried Mama Rafika as the two children entered the house.

Meanwhile, Maysa who is driving a car tries to find food and cake. He did not want to embarrass his family in front of the Adit family. As much as possible, she was looking for good food.

"How about, Dhek, how are you feeling, who is about to be proposed?" maysa asked as the two were on their way.

"What, anyway, Brother! Just plain," replied Riri who was trying to remain calm.

"That's lying. Brother who has been twice that time is still stubborn, let alone you who are the first time."

"According to Brother, do I have to accept Mas Adit's proposal? If Mas Adit refuses to live with Mama how?" riri asked without answering her brother's question.

"If you use that excuse, Mama will definitely feel sad because she feels like a barrier to her child's happiness. You can live three days with Adit's parents, three days with Mama. Which day is up to you. I can change it later with my brother. If you live with Mama, Sister will live with Mama Mirna so, Mama does not need to be alone at home. You will talk to Adit. Don't talk when you're busy with other families."

Riri nodded. He'll talk to Adit about this. The girl also did not know about the man's plans in the future. When they're getting married, I don't know when that's gonna happen. Maysa turned the steering wheel to a famous restaurant.

"Sir, why go to this restaurant? This place must be expensive!" riri asked by looking around.

"It's okay. Though it's actually better to eat here directly, but that's okay. Take her home, so don't be shy. When there is a candidate for the iron comes given the same fish tempe doang. Although we also don't know what Adit's parents' favorite food is."

"Why not buy the usual food, anyway, sister?"

"Why? Afraid omnipotent? Doesn't taste good? You do not get me wrong even though this is a star-rated restaurant, but the food is also home-cooked food so, do not get me wrong with the place. It can also be pitted against other restaurants."

"Never been here?" ask Riri who then follows Maysa down from the car.

"Earlier, that time was invited by Mas Tama."

"Now the class is different, yes! Eat at a star restaurant. It used to be the same Rafka, let alone the star restaurant. The street vendors just never came" Riri sneered.

"That's it, no need to talk about the past. Come on, let's go in! You can also choose your favorite food and also for your mother. Today all the brothers who treat," said Maysa.

"Really, Brother? Well, that means I don't have to spend money."

"Your money is to buy cakes only, for food so that brother pays."

"okay, deh. Don't forget to buy fruit too, brother!"

"Yes, use your money, right, you're the one who's applying, you have to be big brother too."

"Geez! Yeah, I mean use my money, but then please stop. It's up to the store or on the side of the road, which should definitely be fresh fruit."

The two entered the restaurant and ordered some food. Not to forget also Riri ordered food for himself and also the mother. The girl ordered more food for her future father-in-law, while Maysa sent a message to her husband about the event being held at Mama Rafiqah's house.

Maysa also asks Tama for permission to Mama Mirna because she is now really busy. He sent a message. However, it has not been read by the middle-aged woman, while Tama permits to come late because she has to take care of some work, which must be completed tomorrow.

"Have, Ri?" ask Maysa who just joined her sister.

"No, Brother. It's still picking some menus, while waiting for others to cook," Riri replied as she flipped through the menu book.

"The kids will be separated, yes, Ri! Eira doesn't like spicy. If Dio still likes a little."

"Yes, Brother. I told them the same."

The two chose several food menus and waited at one of the tables, while enjoying a drink that both ordered.
