My Husband's Secret

99. There will be a proposal

While chatting with Maysa, Riri's phone in her pocket rang. Mama Rafika's name is there. The girl frowned, she wondered if something had happened to the middle-aged woman. At home there is no Adit.

"Who, Ri?" maysa asked Riri who only paid attention to her phone.

"Mama, Brother. What's going on, huh?"

"Once you lift up. Who knows if something is important" said Maysa who was immediately embraced by Riri. The woman was actually also worried, afraid that something might happen to her mother.

"Hello, assalamualaikum, Ma" Riri said after sliding the green button.

"Waalaikumsalam, you've been home a long time, Ri?" ask Mama Rafiqah who is across the phone.

"What's wrong, Ma? It's still lunchtime."

"Later if your work is done, you bring Maysa here for a while. Mama wants to talk to you both."

Although feeling strange about his mother's request, Riri just say yes. "Yes, I'll tell you about it with Sister Maysa."

"Yes, just like that. Mama hang up the phone."

"Mama's okay, right?" ask Riri who is worried.

The girl was sure something had happened to her mother. However, it would not be easy to get the middle-aged woman to speak. Especially if it's a problem for your kids.

"It's okay you don't worry too much Mama just wants to talk to you two."

"Yes, I'll tell you later, Brother Maysa. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

Riri closed the call, she was still digesting what her mother's goal was. There must be something that has happened. What is this about Adit, considering that the man from yesterday did not come. If it's like that, roughly what Mama Rafiqah wants to say.

Various questions entered the girl's head, but no answer could calm her down. Especially Mama Rafiqah who is difficult to guess.

"What's up, Ri? Did something happen? Why are you quiet?"

Riri looked at her brother and replied, "Just now Mama told me to, if we were told to go home, after no work."

"What's wrong? Why did Mama ask us to go there? Did something happen?" maysa asked with a worried tone.

"I don't know what happened either. Hopefully Mas Adit doesn't make trouble, which makes Mama think."

Both of them were worried about Mama Rafiqah. Work is not calm either. Maysa decided to go home now.

"This is my sister, there is no job. Shouldn't we just go there now? Sister also did not calm down before meeting with Mama," Maysa told her sister.

"Keep the boutique what if someone comes?"

"Kan, there's another. Via can also serve and handle everything if there is a buyer."

Riri thought for a moment, until finally nodded as well. "Yes, let's go home!" bring Riri.

Maysa tidied up some of her stuff on the table. And so is Riri. After all, Maysa and Riri say goodbye to their employees to go home first. I don't mind it because it's not so busy today.

After all they are also boutique owners so, free to go at any time. Maysa and Riri have always done a good job. Both are using their own vehicles. Riri with his motorbike, while the older brother with the car.

Before returning home, Maysa first picked up her children. How many days have they rarely come to Mama Rafiqah's house. Both of them are happy to be there.

"Mama!" dio and Eira yelled as they left school. The two hugged Maysa who was standing next to her car. They both smile.

"Kids, we're going to Oma Rafiqah's house for a second, yeah! It's okay, right?" maysa asked while looking at her two children.

"Yes, Ma. I miss oma too" said Eira, while Dio just nodded. Both were in passenger cars.

"Mama, at school the teacher asked Kak Dio to come forward, make a story about the holiday event yesterday" said Eira who was so enthusiastic.

"I'm just telling you everything. Everything we all do and wherever we go" Dio replied.

"What does teacher say?"

"Teacher's happy, if we're all happy, too. Friends also told me about the holidays."

Maysa nodded and smiled. The woman was happy, Dio did not tell about his departure to the beach at that time. If not, surely Eira will feel sad because it feels ignored. During the trip, the two children recounted activities at school.

Until it was not felt, they arrived at Mama Rafiqah's house. Riri's motorbike is also parked there. Eira went down first and ran into the house. Followed by Dio and Maysa who walked slowly.

"Assalamualaikum" Maysa and Dio said as they entered the house.

"Waalaikumsalam, are you coming home from school straight here? How, still in uniform?" mama Rafiqah asked while watching her two grandchildren.

"So Mama picked us up from school, directly invited here. We miss Oma too" replied Eira who was in the middle-aged woman's lap.

"Of Oma! Oma also misses you and Sister Dio. How's the school, happy?"

"Happy, Oma. So many friends. They're good too. Eira was invited to play there."

"Then, Oma was happy to hear it. You guys are a diligent school, yeah! Let's be proud of Mama and Papa, Oma is proud of you too."

"Yes, Oma."

"Where's the run, Ma?" maysa asked while looking around. However, not finding Riri there. He wanted to know immediately what his mother wanted to talk about. That must be something very important.

"She was in her room" replied Mama Rafiqah who then turned to her two grandchildren. "Dio, take his sister to play in the side garden, yeah! Oma wants to talk to Mama for a minute."

Dio's a pretty smart kid, he must understand better than Eira. The boy took his sister to the side garden. Do not forget to also bring a toy, which was previously stored by Mama Rafika in the box, next to the door to the garden next to the house.

"What's up, Ma? Is there anything important?" maysa asked when her two children were out of sight.

"Mama there is something to talk about with you and Riri" replied Mama Rafiqah.

Both of them waited for Riri, until finally the girl came out of her room. They sit in the family room. Maysa and Riri were both silent, waiting for her mother to say something.

"So Adit called Mama, he said later that night he and his dad would come here, to propose to Riri," said Mama Rafiqah, which surprised his two daughters.

They knew nothing about Adit. Maysa and Riri also do not know that Mama Rafiqah has given blessing to Adit, who both know only about the man's business.

"Ma I didn't hear wrong, did I? Did you agree about Mas Adit proposing to me?" asked Riri who was not sure of what she heard.

"If Mama doesn't agree, Mama won't tell you both. My mother gave her blessing two days ago. Mama told him, if you want to be serious please just come to propose with his parents. Last morning Adit contacted Mama and said his plan was to come propose to you."

"Why is everything so sudden, Ma? Mama's not hiding anything from us, is she? Adit didn't threaten Mama, did he?" ask Maysa who still does not fully believe what her mother said.

"Of course not. This mother of his cannot be threatened."

"Thank God, if it is your decision, to accept Adit as your daughter-in-law. If I'm private, it doesn't matter. As long as he can make Riri and Mama happy, I don't mind at all" Maysa said.

"If you're alone how, Ri?" mama Rafiqah asked as she looked at her daughter.

"As I said before. I gave everything to Mama. Whether you accept it or not, obviously I'll follow what you've decided."

"Do you have no desire? Are you sure about your choice? Mama never forbid you to say your opinion."

Riri looked at her mother. There was something stuck in his heart, he had to say it right now.

"I can't accept this proposal. If Mas Adit refuses to stay here with me and Mama," Riri replied making everyone quite surprised, but Maysa agreed with what her sister said.
