Nindy (Hijabers Norak Conqueror of the Heart)

74. The Large Family

It was as if I was greeting back. The dark rooms began to chat, weaving love and compassion for the human child who had returned to face his Lord.

Nindy watched Akmal's funeral accompanied by Yang Pou Han of course. The hot weather this afternoon, did not affect the cloudiness in his heart. The drizzle begins to erode in place of a sea of chest-stifling emotions. For the second time, Nindy witnessed the funeral of her parents, Mother and Father.

The world seems to be mocking him. When the ego has collapsed, with humility to forgive each other. God immediately separated the kinship that had just been established. The kinship that had never previously imagined its existence, but stopped for a moment in just a matter of seconds, was instantly snatched ruthlessly without mercy. Not giving each other the opportunity to give love is also giving love.

Nindy was stunned for a moment when Akmal's body was buried. Crying as much as he can hold, regret must be there. He didn't deny it all. Akmal's three sons from his legal wife were circling the father's burrow while raising both hands, offering prayers. The prayer was led by one of the religious leaders invited by the Arrayan family with all mourners accompanying him.

Nindy and Yang Pou Han also accompanied, with Adnan standing behind them.

Such a brief encounter with a heartwarming farewell creates an unforgettable memory. Nindy had even witnessed how Akmal had died, how the man's hardship process when going to face his Lord. The event of the separation of a spirit with a body that certainly only happens once in a lifetime has been witnessed by Nindy in plain sight.

That hurt? How appalling?

Surely every living person would feel dead, and that was true for Nindy as well. Yes, Nindy had felt that way, when she felt the time was near because she was almost dying. All regret for what he did during his life was plastered when death almost picked him up.

Nindy had a lot of questioning after imagining it all. When you remember death, everything is meaningless. Perhaps what many people say is true. We will be more grateful and always do good when we feel death is in sight. Feeling that there is still a long time in the world actually makes humans negligent of the real purpose of life.

Nindy sits on the front seat of the terrace of the Arrayan family home. He is a guest today, one year in memory of Akmal Arrayan's death. He saw Yang Pou Han was carrying Anya behind his back as he stepped towards her.

"What are you thinking?" the man asked, moving little Anya to stand on her own, and then taking a seat in the long chair that Nindy was sitting in.

The little girl laughed as her feet imprinted the ground. He ran towards the garden filled with ornamental grass with flowers that lined up neatly and bloomed. There are already several other children who are playing chases.

Nindy turned her attention towards the little kids up ahead who were playing and getting along. Although Anya never met the children, but the little girl easily mixed in there.

"none. Thank you for bringing me here. I thought you wouldn't let me come to this place anymore."

"Where might I do that. Whatever you want, I'll try to keep it." Yang Pou Han reviewed a smile later. "Have you and Salwa not seen each other for a long time? Two weeks away is Reynand's birthday, Sean Paderson's youngest son. Anya gets an invitation to attend. Since we can't come, I'll take you there in the morning, before we go back to Hong Kong."

Nindy immediately nodded while smiling widely. "Of course I want to meet him. You know, they both do me a lot. Yeah, through them, I can get a husband like you."

Yang Pou Han chuckled, rubbing Nindy's head in a fit of anxiety. "It is not because of them, but because I want you. Although they forced me to marry you, but if I didn't want you, of course that marriage never happened. So, don't exaggerate their merit."

"Emm, if they don't force you, you won't marry me soon, will you? You're a prestige lord. You wouldn't want to ask me to be your wife if they didn't push you back then."

"Hi, you're praising them too much? Praise your husband once in a while!" Yang Pou Han did not accept. He should still be number one in front of Nindy. Not Sean or Salwa.

"Alright, you're the best husband. I'm lucky to have you."

That smile just rose on Yang Pou Han's lips. Nindy's simple words can always make her happy. "of course. You're very lucky to have me. So, never hesitate to praise your husband in front of his person directly. Because I gave you permission to do it."

"Yes, because I don't want anyone better in your eyes than me. So, I'll do it every day in front of you."

"Come, Yang. I've never felt anything better than you." Nindy chuckled after saying it. Yang Pou Han's confident level seemed to already be at the top.

"Really?"

"Yes, you're the best. That's why I love you so much."

Regardless of the surroundings, the man grabbed Nindy's back, lowered his face, drawing closer to Nindy's face. Instantly Nindy's body stiffened, between surprise and embarrassment. But his conscious mind is still working. Just when Yang Pou Han was about to anchor those lips to Nindy's lips, he pushed Yang Pou Han's chest away.

"Hey, it's outside!" nindy said with a slight glare.

"Ciiee, Sister-in-law!" The sound of screaming from behind made Nindy and Yang Pou Han immediately divert his attention together.

"Yinan!" Nindy's face immediately blushed, caught red-handed about to kiss her twin sister. Another thing with Yang Pou Han, the man still showed a sinless flat face, with his hands still coiled on Nindy's back.

"You guys are so friendly. Just make me envious" said Adnan, then sat down on the side of the empty chair beside Yang Pou Han.

"Makanya looking for a wife. Don't bother me!"

"Mahaha ...." Adnan laughing. Yang Pou Han's words sounded ludicrous because until now he had not also had a lover. Yes, his career and love story are not directly proportional. He has had many times a relationship that ran aground in the middle of the road. He got up from his seat, stood up later, set foot towards Anya who was picking a branch of chrysanthemum flowers that happened to flower beautifully.

"Sister-in-law! I borrowed the beauty, huh? Have fun you guys. Let me take care of him!" yelled Adnan towards Nindy and Yang Pou Han while holding Anya.

Yang Pou Han seemed to nod, then replied with the same shout. "Jaga well. I'll fire you to Uncle if anything happens with Anya!"

Nindy chuckles, then smiles knotfully. Yes, their family relationships are going well. He and Adnan were already able to familiarize themselves, while Yang Pou Han was also able to accept the existence of Nindy's new family, namely the children of Akmal Arrayan from the man's legitimate wife.

There is no revenge between them. Everything is going well, respecting and loving each other. There are no words of hostility or hatred, because the two words will worsen a relationship and erode the affection between families connected in one blood bond.

"At least he's still useful as Uncle." Yang Pou Han tightened his embrace onto Nindy's body, making the woman turn her head towards him. "It's time to make Yang Pou Han a junior" Yang Pou Han said as he blinked one eye.

Nindy was flabbergasted, opening her mouth in disbelief at her husband's crazy idea. "Eh, but it's still noon."

"Easy! Come on!" invite her again, this time standing up while pulling Nindy's hand to follow her inside.

"Hey!" Nindy could do nothing but obey her husband's will despite the house, the Arrayan family was busy preparing a banquet for the arrival of their extended family who were gathering in the mansion.
