My Patient Husband
Chapter 31. Prospective in-law 1
That's what Ando's been like all this time. Act like nothing happens if I treat him poorly.
If today my attitude towards him is not good, then the next day he will still behave as if nothing happened.
Wasn't I too mean to him? That question always comes to mind. Always haunting.
Rufi and Lita would no longer listen to my complaints about Brother Ando. They prefer silence when it comes to Ando's brother.
I feel like maybe they're tired of hearing my curses that-that's mulu.
***
Five months later, I was still enduring our relationship, which made me uncomfortable with all sorts of thoughts.
From the beginning Ando's brother has said that he will not take me off just like that. Without a proper reason he would not have taken my decision to end our relationship and to date I have never said anything to Ando about wanting to end our relationship.
As he once said that he would not let me go without a clear reason, brother Ando did not budge even though my attitude has been a few days has never been good to him. Always indifferent if he comes to see me.
Brother Ando only chuckles if he sees my behavior as deliberate to make him go away. And it worked to make me even more upset at him.
Unexpected by me, Brother Ando even invited me to meet his parents today. I'm surprised I'm not playing. When I tried to avoid him he even wanted to introduce me to his papa mama. I don't understand the mind of Alfando Aban any more. Is it all adult men, or is it just Ando's brother like that? ah I don't understand at all.
I went into Rufi's room without knocking on her door first, glaring as if she was kicking her legs. Then sat on Rufi's soft mattress roughly.
Rufi's forehead wrinkled in looking at my behavior.
"Hey..you why Sha?" Asked Rufi astonished.
"I'm not surprised if you know not." Sayengas.
"You are the one who astonished me, not Brother Ando. Why are you with Ando's sister?"
"I tried to avoid him, uh he even met his papa mama. Isshhh wonder. What is his heart made of. I don't know if I don't like him either. I don't love him." I said with frustration.
Rufi even woke up to hear my words. Not only laughing at me, Rufi even grabbed her phone and dialed someone's number there.
My forehead is wrinkled, who will he contact, brother Ando? Ah no no. Just watch if it's true, Brother Ando. I'm the nutmeg ntar. I sat there while waiting for the person across the street to answer a call from Rufi, who was deliberately speaking her voice.
"What's wrong?" The sound of Lita's voice there made me breathe a sigh of relief. Turns out he called Lita instead of Ando's sister.
"Ta.to my room now. No, not for long." Rufi said then decided on her call without waiting for Lita's answer.
"Why are you laughing. Again angry at the game. That's what Lita told me to come here for what to try. Help you out when I'm ready?" I was upset with my best friend.
Rufi's laughter is getting better. He rubbed the water in the corner of his eyes after his laughter subsided. Soon after, Lita came in with a confused face.
"You're wondering what the hell seems funny until Rufi comes out in tears." Lita only smiled widely with a frown.
"Nooh... Ask Lisha." Rufi
Lita turned to me by raising her chin still with her forehead wrinkled while she ruffled her waist.
"Why the hell?" Ask Lita.
"Where do I know. Crazy time Rufi tuh. Laugh nothing funny." Answer pouting.
"Si Lisha means to make brother Ando stay away from him, uh even invited to meet his papa mama today. How I don't laugh try." Rufi explained to Lita with a chuckle.
Lita laughed when Rufi gave her a laugh.
"Seriously Sha?" Asking while laughing with round eyes made me even more upset.
"Isshh..kalian why even laugh anyway.I'm the same again kelas Ando you know not." I cirih.
"Jeez Sha, if you even kesel in invited to meet his papa mama brother Ando anyway, I even really want kak Bara suddenly invite me to his house continue to recognize me to his family. Uhhhh must be very fond of me mah." Lita clasped her own hands in front of her chest while glaring with her own smiles should that happen to her.
Making Rufi laugh again at Lita's behavior.
"Eeh by the way when is Brother Ando here to pick you up?"
The sound of my phone shifted our eyes to the three of us who were directly staring at the phone lying just on the bed.
I grabbed it and I saw Ando's name on the screen. "Sister Ando Calling"
I glanced at my two best friends looking enthusiastic faces they told me to immediately answer Ando's call. I exhaled a rough breath and then pressed the green button to answer.
"Hello. Assalamualaikum..." My speech
"Wa'alaikum...Ready yet? I'll wait until now." said Brother Ando.
"Yes, get ready first."
"Hmm." I answered lazily.
Immediately I disconnected the phone and went to the room to run a little, Rufi and Lita followed me from behind while asking.
"What's Sha?"
"Sir Ando stopped again. He told me to get ready." Answer me while pouting
"Yes, let's help you get ready, you take a shower first."
"I've been taking a shower since I knew." I replied annoyed, they laughed at my face which I had been bending over.
I prepared while being lectured by my two best friends. They say "that person if you want to meet the prospective in-laws should be as lively as beaming, this is you even in the bend of his face. Come on, smile."
"Prospective in-laws prospective in-laws." I said pouty.
Shortly afterwards there was a knock on the door with a greeting followed by someone who was none other than Brother Ando.
I was ready to go, Lita answered the greetings and opened the door for Ando.
Brother Ando smiled broadly at me who was ready but did not look sincere to fulfill his invitation.
"Is he ready?" Ask brother Ando.
"As Brother Ando saw." Reply indifferently.
I lyrics to two of my best friends who immediately give me their muscles.
Brother Ando just chuckled at my answer and saw my unfriendly face.
"Let's walk now."
"Fi, Lita I'll walk first." I turned my back to my two best friends who gave me a code to smile.They both spread their lips followed by index fingers and thumbs that form a smile.
Brother Ando was about to grab my hand for him to hold but I quickly grabbed the sling bag strap I was wearing and walked first leaving Ando's sister whom I heard saying goodbye to Rufi and Lita. then followed me to the parking lot where I was waiting for him and had been wearing a helmet without waiting for Ando's brother to wear it.
After Brother Ando stood near his motor sport I heard Brother Ando sigh long staring at me.
We drove through the streets of the city. Because today is Sunday so the streets at this hour are very quiet because it looks like people are on vacation to tourist attractions. Today we plan to have lunch at Ando's house and get acquainted with his parents.
I can not deny, my heart beats faster since entering the yard of Ando's brother's house. The simple house is a blend of white ash with a spacious courtyard decorated with various flowers and there is one mango tree but not too high. There looks like a million people's car parked pretty. It looks like the car belongs to his father. Especially if it's not Xenia's car. Deg Degan will meet up with Ando's two parents.
After getting off the motor. Brother Ando again grabbed my hand which I immediately gave a sharp look and then shook my head. Brother Ando just let out a rough sigh and let me in.
"Assynoltom..." Brother Ando said a greeting greeted by a woman who looks no longer young with a big smile. He was seen coming from the kitchen towards the middle room where me and brother Ando were standing. Yes, Brother Ando just took me directly into the living room after twice saying greetings but there was no answer when we were in front of the door of the wooden house.
Brother Ando kissed the back of the hand of the woman I thought was more than half a century old and hugged her. I followed what Ando's sister had done, grabbed her hand and kissed her reverently. I felt his hand rub my head covered in hijab. Grabbing me and then kissing my right and left cheeks.
"Honey, this is mom. Mah knows this Felisha." Brother Ando introduced his mother to me and vice versa introduced me to his mother.
I looked at that warm smile. Immediately remembered the smile of my mother who was far away with me, in my hometown. Aaahhh. I immediately lowered my head in fear that I was getting carried away and shedding tears. No, don't let that happen. I hurriedly blinked many times to prevent tears from coming out.
Brother Ando asked where his papa was. Oh yes, I didn't see him. I spread my eyes around but there was no one there but brother Ando.
"Why where's mah?"
"There's in the backyard. You go there to meet him. Lisha is just as good as you are." Said his brother Ando.
"Yes, I'm going to the back, baby." Pamit brother Ando to me who I only reply with a nod of his head slowly. It soon passed to meet his father.
After Ando's brother is invisible. The woman who was no longer young immediately led me to sit on the sofa not far from where we were standing. We sat down with a smiley brother Ando calmed me who was feeling nervous earlier. I don't know where to start our conversation.
"Lisha, just relax, same mom." He smiled as he held my cold hand. I just nodded back at his smile.
"You have heard so much about you from Alfando." His brother Ando started the conversation. I smiled again waiting for the continuation of the story. I wonder if she's just as good about me.
"Have long since mamah never seen Ando spirit again like before. For a long time also Ando has never known a girl to mamah. Since Ando lived married with his ex Ando only focused on his career. Like being afraid to start another relationship with a woman." His mamah brother Ando calmly, made me very surprised but I hurriedly returned my facial expression before his mamah brother Ando realized my shock.
"Mmm Brother Ando what's the story about me and Auntie?" Hesitating I finally ventured to ask after neutralizing the whack of nervousness.
"Misty. Call me mamah not aunty." I smiled awkwardly at the request from his mother Brother Ando. How can I stay away from Brother Ando if this is the case. My inner.
