That afternoon Lany was really gerogi when Andra had informed him and asked him to get ready, because as soon as later, they would immediately go to the residence of the Andra family that he had seen, at that time, but only from the outside.
“Prepared yes, neng. I'm on the road again! This Abis we meet the family immediately!" So said Andra who called him when he was busy watching his flagship drakor.
His heart was actually beating faster than usual. A sense of gerogi immediately passed when various questions appeared in his mind, challenge how and whether he deserved and then accepted by the Andra family? It really filled his head. Who is she, just a broken home child, just an ash hick who has no rich bloodline like her husband, indeed he was afraid if his presence was immediately rejected because it was considered not worth it.
Repeatedly he kept pacing around thinking about all the possibilities that would happen there later. It turns out that being the wife of a rich man is not as fun as she imagined, like the films she has watched so far. Now he is really in a thrilling situation, it turns out that having a different background makes him exposed to the feeling of insecure first. Oh, it felt like he wanted to drown right then and there. In his heart Lany cursed his stupid dream that he had revealed to Andra if he aspired to be the wife of the Presedir.
He had also tried to dress up as much as possible just to establish himself with Andra, fearing if the husband's family judged him inappropriate with Andra. Even he has chosen the best clothes to wear, but why the sense of insecure never goes away.
Lany stared at her reflection in the mirror, a body wrapped in red brocade dres with hair in pigtails being her preferred appearance. Polishing a thin powder sober, a little eyeliner without mascara combined with a light pink lip cream into a choice of natural makeup that envelops the white skin. Even so the feeling of satisfaction he did not feel. This is what he thinks is the maximum. If in the past he always felt confident with his appearance, but now he really has to choose a display so as not to make Andra embarrassed.
Did he hire MUA ternmaa just for this meeting? No, no..! That is impossible, because Lany is the type of person who does not like thick makeup except in a forced state like at her wedding last month.
“What is it! you are a natural beauty!" His whispers strengthen the heart. Do not want the sense of insecure enthroned too dalan. Isn't being yourself better than having to be masked with makeup? Although he knows his maximum appearance will definitely not be able to balance the look of the Andra family.
“Come on, Lan! You can do it!" He shrieked again, while exhaling a few times violently.
For a moment he was silent when he heard the bell sound continue to ring, it must be Andra. Her husband had arrived and the moment she had been waiting for was getting closer. As if he was about to walk to the execution ground, it felt so thrilling. If he knew the Andra family turned out to be a respected person and the nervousness would not be this severe, maybe from the beginning he would not demand that Andra as soon as possible reveal his identity.
“Assalamaualaikum.”
A familiar voice was heard in the doorway of the room. He slowly turned his head, looked at Andra who was already there, welcoming her with a smile.
“Udah ready?" Asked the man in black shirt, looking at him with a smile that never faded, still leaning on the door leaf.
But instead of nodding, he shook his head slowly. As if stating if he was not ready at all, it certainly made Andra frown and immediately stepped closer.
“Why?” Andra grabbed her shoulder, pointing her face to look at the face that was waiting for an answer.
Lany sighed, “I'm afraid,” The answer made Andra shriveled in wonder, her favorite shade face followed as she again lowered her gaze. Staring at the fingers squeezing each other, trying to eliminate anxiety.
“I feel inappropriate, I'm afraid not to meet their expectations!" He swallowed a few times, trying to neutralize the feeling.
“I have to how, Andra? What is my maximum appearance to meet your super wah family?” Ask Lany who is still trying to find strength from her husband. Because he knew, Andra's positive aura was always able to calm down in whatever circumstances it was.
Sure enough, Andra's fingers were moved to reach his hand, he was like he wanted to drop his head on the upright shoulder. Lany's gaze turned to look at Andra, with her eyes rolling she waited for what her husband wanted to say.
“Not to worry! Why be confused?” Ask Andra between the smiles that became her trademark.
“Quite be who you are, Beautiful does not have to be about the look, the number one is what your heart is like! that beautiful look is a plus. And you should know I'm always proud no matter how you are! Because I think you're the best!”
Andra's words were like a fresh breeze that made her really feel appreciated. But somehow it did not immediately make his anxiety reduced.
Andra who seemed to know what she was thinking immediately pulled her body into a hug. “My family is not a judge you should impress with looks! you're my wife, there's no reason for them to refuse your presence! So don't worry, there's me!”
“But I'm afraid my background will be a problem!” Sergeants quickly.
Andra shook her head, trying to convince her. He understood, even very understanding at the excessive anxiety that Lany felt. For that he tried to calm.
...****************...
That afternoon, at the Andra family residence. An Alphard car came into the yard. Papi and Opa immediately decided to go home when Mami again reported that Andra would have lunch at home while taking his wife. But this time, Mami did not invite another family like that night. Today there will only be a nuclear family who will welcome the arrival of Andra and his wife.
Opa stepped in first, the body was tall, and contained it still looked fresh despite its age was quite twilight. Judging from his wide steps are still strong, proven if he is still fit because he often exercise.
“There's no, bi?" Ask when passing in one corridor connected to the dwelling in the back, right where his room is.
“There sir, already home from before dzuhur earlier." One of the household assistants.
“If Rival, is there not?" Ask Opa again, of course he must ask the whereabouts of his grandson. For soon Andra will come, and they must all be there to greet the brother.
“It doesn't exist, sir. Once a week rarely home, Inca mother also always nyariin.” Clearly, that made Opa just nod, then continue on towards his room.
While Papi, he who never entered still stands on the terrace. Andra's father seemed to be talking to someone from behind the phone.
“Ah yes, just come. This afternoon again at home.all of us have lunch together!” Papi's face was radiant. I don't know who he's chatting to on the other end of the phone that seems so exciting.
“Iya, awaited mas!”
“Sip! ok fine! Coincidentally, we also gathered. There's Andra too.”
As soon as the call was interrupted, Papi's gaze was fixed on a sedan car so familiar it had just entered the spacious courtyard of the house. A smile then emanated from Papi's lips when the car door opened and appeared Andra there.
“You know mom, tell me that Andra's here!" Papi orders a guard standing at the side of the gate.
With a definite step Papi approached and reached out his hand as Andra was about to kiss her hand.
“Where is your wife, Ndra?" Papi's gaze is still on the car, waiting for someone from there.
Again his smile widened when glancing at the other side of the car, a woman whose height could reach 160 cm came out with a face looking tense and embarrassed. A word of admiration crossed his mind when he saw the appearance of the daughter-in-law who was fairly simple but still looked beautiful. Her charm is really beautiful natural and natural.
He was increasingly amazed when the woman who said Andra's wife politely thrust her hand to shake hands. This then made Papi impressed with the attitude of the son-in-law. Then he stretched out his hand.
“Welcome to our family, son!" Jemari Papi stroked Lany's head, welcoming her and treating her like a child.
“Welcome to join his extended family Andra!"
Lany who heard that just looked down with a smile that never faded, withstanding the shock of nervousness that continued to whack incessantly.
Shortly after Chatting, Papi immediately invited them in.
While Lany, the first impression he felt when he first set foot on the porch whose floor was made of granite, stood between large pillars, making it seem as if he was in the doorway of a real palace. The luxury of this building makes it feel like being on a cruise ship with almost the same luxury facilities.
“Cause yes, neng, don't strain! There's me!" and he just nodded at the whisper of Andra accompanied by a tightened grip. As if hinting that her husband will always be here, protecting and accompanying her, so that she does not have to feel anxious.
“Sit son, soon Mami and the others will come."
As soon as his father-in-law let him. He immediately sat down beside Andra who pulled him gently. Above the sofa is king size, the color is combined with the gradation of existing furniture so as to make the feel of the large room look commensurate. It is really luxurious, spacious and contains items whose price does not need to be asked anymore. Maybe his salary while working on a cruise ship used to be the same price as one of the goods there.
Lany's hand was unceasingly squeezing Andra's hand which was also grasping her tightly. Especially when the sound of chatter sniffing in his sense of hearing, making him have to repeatedly swallow spit violently. He knew for sure some of the people his father-in-law meant immediately emerged from behind the room there.
Sure enough, the four unfamiliar faces with different ages seemed to be smiling towards him. But not with one old woman whose face changed instantly as she sat with him. .
Once all the families appeared, he then alternately greeted each of them. Starting from Opa, Oma, Mami and Dara. Not forgetting to introduce myself.
For now, Lany really still feels safe because the Andra family welcomes her well. It is his hope that this will last forever, not just for a moment.
“Say you're pregnant?" Ask the woman Lany knew was Andra's mother.
Lany did not immediately answer the question out loud, she smiled while nodding small. Doesn't he have to maintain an attitude to look graceful and should not be much behavior. So the information he got from the results of googling while on the way to here earlier.
“Okay, granddaughter enin healthy ya in here!" Now her mother-in-law's hand began to rub her stomach. Of course this immediately makes it back hit by the taste of extraordinary haru.
“She's beautiful yes, mi! Natural."
Dara whispers to Mami he can hear clearly, making the anxiety moment out in the heart. Especially when the small talk is getting late. But just for a moment, the hope that could be well received was instantly evaporated. Because sometimes reality is not as expected.
Especially when the oma began to raise questions with the most cynical facial features. Makes his mind more bitter.
“You are from a distinguished family too right?”
“Where do you work?”
“Know the Andra family right? Yes definitely, it is impossible not to know dong,”
Glutton..
The question seemed to hit her heart. What he was afraid of really happened. The background is definitely the most important thing the family asked. Although he could see the unpleasant facial features of Papa and Opa. While Mami and Dara seem to be getting hooked with Oma's question.
Moreover, Mami Inka, he is clearly the one who knows best how the story of Andra to be able to meet his daughter-in-law. But for some reason, Lany could feel, the face that was so enthusiastic in welcoming him, now turned flat.
“Oma!" It was Lirih Andra who tried to prevent oma from discussing things like this.
“Why Alandra?! Oma just wants to know about your wife!" Sergey with a cynical face so that nothing would get in the way of his speech.
And oma really continued her question. As a grandmother, of course she hopes Andra can get a wife who can balance it, at least the same as Riana or maybe more than her. And he really wanted to make sure of that.
“You used to go to college until what strata?”
“Oma!!” Sergey Andra with a tense face, he seemed to not accept the question Oma, but oma did not heed his words at all.
”What's the work been all this time?"
tbc....
greetings from sad because asked² oma🤣
