My Husband's Secret

91. Ask for blessing

“Already, Mas?” maysa asked as her husband got into the car.

“Already, Darling. We're back yuk!” bring Tama.

Tama started the car and left the restaurant. Riri had looked towards the door of the restaurant, she hoped Adit was chasing after her. But apparently not. On the other side of his heart said, it is better like this because he had promised the mother if she would no longer be bound to Adit. The other side of the girl missed her ex-boyfriend.

To be honest Riri really hopes Mama Rafiqah gives her blessing and Adit. Now that the man was also his status was clear so, there was nothing to worry about. Regarding the rumors that used to circulate, everything has also been explained by Adit.

“We want to go home or want to go somewhere else?” ask Tama about her family.

“If I'm up to you all. How's Dio, Riri?” maysa asked while looking back.

“Ma, did Eira not call Mama?” ask Dio without answering his mother's question. He was worried about his sister. The boy was afraid that Eira would not be happy there.

“Nothing, Honey. No incoming calls. Do you need Mama Telepin, let you know how Eira is doing?”

“No need, Ma. Afraid they are bothered at this time,” said Dio smiled forcibly who then fell silent.

“So, Dio wants where else to go?” maysa asked again because she had not yet received an answer.

“We'll just go home, Ma. I'm tired too.”

“Well if that's it. Let's just go home" Maysa replied with a slow breath.

She knew very well that her son was still worried about Eira's situation so, the woman did not force Dio to leave again. The boy did not enjoy it.

“Rini, you want to be escorted home what come to sister's house first?” tama asked while glancing at the rearview mirror in front of her.

“Go home Brother first. My motor ‘kan is there,” replied Riri.

“Indeed you are not tired, go home on motorbike?” ask Tama again.

“No pa-pa, Brother. Not far either.”

“Why don't you ask to take you home, Ri! Tomorrow I'll go to the boutique Brother pick up. You must be tired all day, too" said Maysa.

“Not necessary, Brother. Who knows later the motor needs to be used go.”

“Ya already, it's up to you.”

Tama continued to drive his car across the street. The journey home was quite long, making Dio and Riri who were in the back fall asleep. On the beach, both were very active. Maysa's sister always tried to comfort her nephew.

Once at home, Riri stopped by for a while at her sister-in-law's house and then left. Mama Mirna offers Riri to stay the night, but the girl refuses because her mother is home alone.

****

The next morning, Mama Rafiqah and Riri were busy in the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Several times the girl had forbidden her mother to come. However, his words were not ignored by the middle-aged woman. Mama Rafiqah has been relaxing too much so, she wants to do something that gets her body moving.

The sound of the door being knocked from the front. Mama Rafiqah came out to see who came in the morning blind like this. The woman thought that the one who came was Maysa. As soon as she opened the door, Mama Rafiqah was taken aback.

It turns out that the one who came was Adit— the ex-lover of his daughter. Although at this time the man's appearance changed, Mama Rafika's therapy can still recognize him. Adit's aura is very different from the past. Now the man looks more mature, dashing and charismatic.

“Assalamualaikum, Mom. How are you?” greet Adit with a smile.

“Waalaikumsalam, I'm good. What the hell are you here for? You don't want to make trouble, do you?”

“No, Mom. I'm here just want to connect the cord of silaturahmi.”

Mama Rafiqah frowned. “It feels so weird! You came to connect the cord that never existed before. Do you have any hidden intentions? It feels impossible for you to do all this for free.”

“You are very good at this. I'm sure, you must have very well understood what I want.”

“I already understand, but I need to hear it from your mouth directly.”

“I came here because I want to be close to your daughter. If you will, I want to marry him. I hope you give your blessing,” replied Adit while watching the face of Mama Rafiqah.

The woman was not surprised at all. He had expected this to happen when Adit arrived. However, Mama Rafiqah did not expect Adit to come now. To be honest the woman felt guilty for Riri for separating her from Adit.

He always hoped Adit would come and try to ask him for his blessing. However, the man never came and disappeared just like that. Now, after all that was passed, Adit came instead. It's not that easy that Mama Rafiqah gives her blessing.

“You already know the answer from a year ago. I will never approve of your relationship. You must already know the reason.”

“Bu, it was a year ago. I'm sure everyone has forgotten that too so I beg you to bless me so that I can be with Riri. I honestly wanted to take Riri away and get married secretly. However, I know if Riri respects you so much because of that, I also respect all the decisions Riri makes. That doesn't mean I give up. I am currently struggling to be with Riri back.”

"Then why do you have to come now? Why not yesterday?"

"I'm waiting for the right time. If I used to come and try to have you, then people would judge Riri ugly. I'm just trying to get the news that's been circulating, to stop first."

"Ka—"

“Ma, who's coming? Why so long?” ask Riri who followed her mother out.

Mama Rafiqah did not come in after a few minutes out. Of course make Riri curious and come out. Just like his mother, Riri was also surprised to see Adit's whereabouts there. He thought that after yesterday's meeting, the man wouldn't dare to come. However, in fact, his ex-girlfriend is now in his house.

"Mas Adit, why are you here?" asked Riri nervously.

"I came here to have the blessing of your mother. I want to propose to you and make you my wife." The words that Adit spoke were able to make Riri surprised as well as happy. However, the girl did not want to show it in front of her mother.

"What do you mean, Mom? No kidding, you better get out of here. Before the citizens will see which will even cause slander."

"I don't think that's right. The family will support us too. I can confirm that my status is different now. There is no reason to refuse to marry me. I know that your heart still chooses

"I'm sorry, Adit boy, whenever I'll never approve of you and you know that Riri will definitely obey his mother's wishes so, you better get out of here!"

"I'm not leaving, before my aunt approves."
