My Husband's Secret

133. Invitation

After speaking at length with Mama Rafiqah, Riri went back inside her room. My husband finished his shower. The man looked very ready with his clothes. Look relaxed like this, Adit is attractive, let alone neat as before. Riri did not know how many women had already approached her husband.

"You ready, Mom? I told you earlier, Mama, if we want to see Papa Dimas. Mama also does not mind, we should go now," said Riri.

Adit stood up and approached his wife. "Yes, are you ready? All of us tell Mama that later, we go straight to the reception building. About Mama Rafiqah, let me be with my assistant. He I told you to wait here."

"Didn't that trouble him, Mas?" asked Riri who felt bad for her husband's assistant. He did not know who the man was, but instead ordered at will.

"It's okay, he does work with me and I've asked him to drop off Mama Rafiqah later. If you're afraid of yourself, you can bring another brother."

"Yes, I'll tell you Mama. It's all set, let's go!"

The two went out of the room to the living room where some relatives also gathered there. Not to forget also Adit brought a bag containing Riri's wedding dress. They say goodbye to Mama Rafiqah and convey what Adit said earlier. However, the middle-aged woman refused.

Mama Rafiqah will be leaving with Maysa and Tama. It was a plan from the beginning. Finally Adit asked his assistant to go home because it was there, who would take Mama Rafiqah later.

Adit and Riri leave the house. The two boarded a car and headed for the hospital, where Papa Dimas was being treated. Mama Rafiqah just looked at the departure of her son and daughter-in-law. The middle-aged woman went back into the house.

"Si Riri where is her husband going, sister? They're not going to the reception, are they? It's still a long time until the reception tonight" asked relatives Mama Rafiqah.

"No, they're going to the hospital, looking at Adit's dad. Last night during a recitation her father collapsed and was taken to hospital. That's why he couldn't come" replied Mama Rafiqah calmly.

"Why is it sick, brother? Don't tell me she actually doesn't agree that Adit married Riri, so she got so sick?"

"God willing no, Mr. Dimas has approved of Riri's marriage. He is not healthy enough. Plus thinking about her son's marriage so, the more dropped. Every parent will think that their child is married, right?"

Mama Rafika smiled in response to the words of the relatives. He knew that it was just envy they had. The middle-aged woman did not want to bother either. Let them say what, the important thing is that their children are well.

"We go home first, huh, honey? Take my phone that's there" Adit said as they were on their way.

Riri immediately looked at the husband and asked, "So your phone is still at home, Mas?"

The woman thought that Adit was holding her phone, but it wasn't. It is fitting that from earlier the man did not seem to be fiddling with mobile phones. Though before every opportunity, the husband will always play his phone. Either reply to a client message or see an email sent by his assistant.

"It's still home, honey. I haven't been home since last night. Just this morning my assistant brought a wedding dress to the hospital. It's also gonna take clothes for the reception."

Riri nodded and did not ask again. Adit is indeed a busy person, he must get used to it as he used to when they were together. The difference now is that there are no more lies between the two. Riri had also advised if he did not want any lies.

Adit agreed to all the requests of the wife. The man also no longer had any secrets and did not want to have any secrets. Indeed after the 'it' incident he had never saved anything. His life is always open to those closest to him.

A message came into Maysa's phone. The woman immediately saw who had sent the message. Turns out to be his former in-laws. In fact, he was already very lazy when dealing with their families. There is always something unimportant to discuss.

"Message from whom, May?” tama asked, when she saw the expression of the wife's face like unfriendly.

"From Omanya Eira, Mas. He invited us to come to Eira's forty-day sister."

"No harm, right. If we come to the show?"

"Mas, know for yourself if we come, there will definitely be a problem later. Yesterday at the funeral, someone accused us of poisoning Eira's mind. How's tomorrow!"

"We don't have to think about their words. It'll also be just for a minute. Maybe Eira also wants to come, pity him," said Tama who was actually also hesitant.

"Yes, Mas. I'll ask Eira first, whether she wants to come or not."

Tama nodded, Maysa replied to her former father-in-law's message. If he had to ask Eira first, whether the boy wanted to or not. Maysa does not want to make his own decision, what if later Eira refuses to come. The woman did not want to force her son.

"I'm out first, yeah, Mom. Want to help others clean up," said Maysa, who is owned by Tama.

Children themselves, I don't know where they are. Maybe he was playing with other relatives. Next to the house, there was a lot of noise from the children. Maysa is being if they can blend in.

"Mama, what else to do?" maysa asked when she saw her mother was busy in the kitchen.

"Make coffee for you. Unfortunately, no one made coffee this morning. Usually he always drinks coffee early."

Maysa nodded while looking around. Only a few relatives remained, many others had gone home. The couple is also not visible. Before he entered the room, the two talked to the others.

"Where's the run, Ma? Not visible."

"Just gone to the Hospital, look at her in-laws" replied Mama Rafiqah without looking at Maysa. He was busy stirring the coffee he made.

"Consider-in-law? Adit's dad?"

"Who do you think Riri's in-laws are anymore? Yeah, just Adit's dad."

"Why is Adit's father, Ma? How come it suddenly hurts? Before that there was no news. Riri also never said that her in-laws were sick."

"Riri also just found out. He said he said last night after the study, his father Adit passed out and while in the hospital, it turned out that his blood pressure was low. Perhaps too much thought, he was also sleep deprived. Understand, parents must be worried when their children will get married. Only Adit's papa may have been detained all along, so now sick."

Maysa nodded. "I should've looked for my sister's papa, nothing. It turns out that it hurts, not the parents, I was just as a big brother to think of when Riri got married. It was so different when I married myself" said Maysa, who suddenly remembered her sleepless days.

"Already, don't think too much. You better wash the dishes, Mama wants to go ahead, want to bring coffee for you." Mama Rafiqah came out with a cup of coffee.

Maysa did what her mother had asked. He washes all the old dishes of cookies and other treats. Fortunately, the food from catering so, not too many dishes that must be washed because everything is also from the catering.

"Where aunt, Ma? There was nothing in the room" asked Eira who had just entered the kitchen.

"Tante Riri has gone with Om Adit. His father Om Adit is sick so, Aunt Riri wants to go there. What's up? Why is Eira looking for aunty? Is there anything important?"

"I want to see a wedding dress with a aunt. Last morning the aunt promised to see her dress, why leave now?" eira said with a frown. He was upset that Riri had already reneged on the promise.

"Tante Riri does not want to show the dress to you, but Eira knows for herself, if the aunt is visiting her father Om Adit who is sick again. Everything was also beyond Aunt Riri's estimation so, Eira understood, right?"

Eira nodded even though her face remained pouting. He was already very excited, but now he had failed instead.

"When Eira has seen the time still in Mama's boutique, why do you still want to know?"

"time at Mama's boutique isn't perfect yet. It's different again."
