Early in the morning, Airin woke up first. She saw her husband and son sleeping. He slowly awakened Erland to perform the dawn prayer.
"Mas, let's get up, let's pray at dawn" he said as he slowly shook the man's arm.
"Hm... What time is it, Dek?" tanyanya while wriggling stretching the muscles.
"Have it been five and a half hours, you went to the mosque with dad?" tanya Airin got out of bed immediately.
"Yes, get me my clothes, Dek," Erland answered, getting out of bed, and then heading to the bathroom to get some ablution.
"Eh, are you awake, son? Going to the mosque together?" ask the father who passed by his daughter-in-law.
"Ah yes, Dad. I'm ready to flinch." Erland immediately prepared, then back out was awaited by the father-in-law.
Meanwhile, Airin and Mother, as well as the other family are still busy in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
The family had breakfast with the new family members. Erland was so happy to be in the middle of his wife's family who were so appreciative and so in simplicity.
Unlike the family of his first wife who is in fact the person is all. They're not as warm as the Airin family. When they are gathered, they discuss about their respective properties and offices.
Erland looked at those who were full of laughter. Just one week into mingling with the Airin family, it looks like Zherin is already so familiar with all of them. The little girl was really happy being pampered by her new mother's brother.

After two days in the village, this morning Erland and his wife had to go back to the city. Because there is a task that he must handle immediately.
Mother and father could not resist, although it was hard to part with her daughter back. However, they realized that her daughter was now married, so she had to go wherever her husband took her.
"Mom, Dad, we said yes. God willing later if there is free time we will often go home," promised Erland to his in-laws.
"Yes, you guys be careful on the road. Son Erland, we entrust Airin, if there will be a behavior that makes Nak Erland not like, then give advice in a gentle way so that he can easily understand and immediately change it. Please understand that our daughter still lacks a lot. And please don't be rude to her once in a while" said Father giving a message to Erland's son.
As parents, of course they put their worries, however, Airin is still too innocent and still has no experience in household. If juxtaposed with Erland who has been married, then the woman is still nothing.
"Mom, Dad, I'll go first." The woman shook the hands of her parents with reverence.
"You're all right, you have to obey your husband" mom and dad said.
"God willing, Mom."
"Ami, brother go first. Later if you have time off play with mom and dad to Brother," he said to the sister who was just about to start college.
"Good, Brother. Brother's fine there. Don't forget to always be patient with us."
"True what Airin said. If Mom and Dad miss Airin, play at our place. Tell me, I'll have the driver pick me up later" Erland said.
"All right, son."
"Come on Zhe, Salim used to be Grandma and Grandpa, and Aunt Ami" Erland told her daughter.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Ante Ami, I go home first yes, later if I go off school play again here, we take another boat on the lake," the boy said as he shook the hands of his new family.
"Alright, pretty. Later if you have to tell Ante yes," said Ami while carrying the boy before they left.
"Okay, then we say yes."
"Ma, how about a cry? Mama is sad, is she Grandma?" ask Zherin who saw the mama's netra watering.
"Huh? No, Mama didn't cry. Ish, you know so well" elak Airin hugged his son tightly.
"Don't be sad, I promise you later if there's free time, we'll come back here again" Erland said, focusing on driving.
"I'm not sad about being apart, but I'm sad when I remember Mom's message, what if I can't be the way you want me to be, Mom?" asked the woman to look at her husband.
Erland stared for a while, then refocusedly stared at the body of the road. "Well, I believe you're the best woman for me and Zherin. Don't feel that you can't be who I want to be, but what if the opposite. What if I can't be what you want me to be? Therefore we must be able to accept each other and complete all the shortcomings in each of them," he said wisely.
Airin breathed slowly. Always pray that the household they build can receive and complement each other. Although there will be tests coming later, and hopefully they can pass and further strengthen the bond of affection between them.
"Thank you, Mom, I hope we get through it and will be happy" he replied trying to be sure.
"We need to be happy. Our main purpose in building a home is to be happy."
Airin simply nodded her head in understanding and carved a sweet smile on the man. Though inwardly eager to ask about his feelings for her. Because if there is a relationship without love, there will never be happiness there.
After traveling far enough, now the couple has reached their residence. Erland asked the security to bring down their luggage from the village, and of course the various souvenirs her in-laws left behind.
"Eh, Miss Airin and Mr. Erland are home," Bibik greeted with a happy smile.
Airin was still hesitating when Art had changed his call. He smiled in response to Bibik's words.
"Bik, call me as usual" said Airin as he walked in with Bibik.
"Oh, Bibik did not dare, because Mr. Erland told him to," replied Bibik who was very obedient to his master.
Airin was silent. She also dared not to dispute her husband's words. The woman immediately headed to Zherin's room, looking as if the little girl had been playing with her abandoned belongings for a week. It seems that the little girl missed him.
"Darling, take a shower first, let you be fresh. It was a warning," he approached his son.
"Well, I bathe myself, Ma," said Zherin very obediently.
"Alright, Mama will prepare your change of clothes. Let's take a shower, don't forget a clean toothbrush and weave, yeah" he said before the boy entered the bathroom.
"OK, Mama..."
Airin smiled in response to her son's words. He immediately prepared his clothes. While taking care of Zherin, Erland called out to him.
"Dad!" call him from outside.
"What's up, Mom?" airin answered while opening the door to Zherin's room.
"Here you are, I searched from earlier," said Erland as he stared fixedly.
"Yes, again accompany Zherin. Do you need anything?" tanyakanya.
"Ah, no. But..."
Seriate....
Happy reading 🥰
