Today we decided to go to the house of the father-in-law. After work, Ridho rushed to take a shower and prepared. I've been tidy with maroon gowns and matching hijabs.
The plan is we will stay because Ridho is on holiday tomorrow. I agreed to his proposal because I haven't been visiting for a long time. I also put in some clothes stels for tomorrow.
When I left the room, I just got home. Ridho and I approached him on the terrace. We also say goodbye to Mom and Dad.
"You guys be careful on the road, yeah," Mother's message.
"Yes, Mom," I replied.
"Greetings to your father, Dho," said the father.
"Good, sir."
After kissing Mom and Dad's hands, we headed down the highway. I offered to bring his car. However, Ridho refused. Afraid you have a need for a store tomorrow.
I tried to sit quietly in the arm. Actually a little nervous because it's the first time we've been a little away from home since I got pregnant. Ridho tightly grasped my hand that was hugging his waist. He seems worried too.
I took his hand to mark that I was okay. I looked at the rearview mirror and saw Ridho smiling. We didn't talk much on the way.
When we arrived at the house of our father-in-law, we said our greetings. Mom and Dad were sitting in front of the house. Mother immediately stood up, looking surprised by our arrival.
"Kok, didn't tell me to come here?"
"Let's surprise, Bun!" answer Ridho origin.
I just smiled hearing it. We deliberately did not give news, afraid not to visit. Have made plans twice, but failed because my body condition is not supportive.
"Yes already. You guys go straight in. No good Reva outside Magrib," said Mother.
I smiled hearing Mother's words. I was also a little surprised by his attention this time. Could it be that Mother has changed?
In my heart I hope, may Mother really accept me fully now. Although it may have been because I was pregnant with her future grandchildren, I still felt happy. All this time I was always worried about misbehaving in front of Mother.
"Yes. Dad to the mosque first, yeah. You accompany Reva aja first, Dho," said Dad.
"Yes, Dad."
Shortly thereafter, Adzan Magrib reverberated. We pray three worshipers with Mother in the family room. I shed tears when I heard Ridho's prayer for our family. Mother hugged me after we finished praying.
Ridho smiled at our closeness. I nodded slowly as an answer. It was really unexpected that Mother's attitude had changed considerably from the last time we stayed here.
While helping Mother to prepare dinner, Father came home from the mosque. Mommy fries tilapia fish to add side dishes. The smell makes my saliva rise.
This week, my nausea has been getting less and less. Appetite begins to improve, although not as much before pregnancy. At least in a day I can already finish two plates of rice and side dishes.
Said his son's son if he likes to eat meat. I smiled when I heard it because I was expecting a baby boy. I actually eat vegetables, even if only a small amount.
"Well, it's done. Come on, let's eat!" invite Mother.
I took a plate and filled the glass with water. I look happy with our presence. He was constantly teasing Ridho who was about to become a father.
I managed to finish off a plate of rice, a piece of fish and a spoonful of vegetables. Ridho smiled to see me tasteful to eat. I also saw the Mother also looks semringah.
After dinner, Ridho and I decided to rest in the room. Father and Mother seemed tired too, so did not invite us to chat. When eating Mother told me that this afternoon they went to a family gathering.
Ridho led me to lie down on the bed. After that, his hand moved to massage my arm. "You cape?" tanyakanya.
"Ga's too, really." I prevented his hands from moving by massaging his legs. "I should have been the one who snorted Mas."
"Papa NGO. You want to feel relaxed. Must have been a long time on the bike. Today is far enough we walk."
My lips curl a smile. Let Ridho do what he wants. Shortly thereafter Isya's adhan reverberated.
"Mas to the mosque first, yes."
After feeling better, I also went out to take ablution. Mother is not seen in the family room, may be praying in the room. Back in the room, I prayed Isha.
After the prayer, I laid my body back on the bed. I don't know why I feel tired and sleepy. Slowly my eyes began to close. Once felt someone enveloping, but reluctant eyes again open.

After the dawn prayer, I went to the back to help Mother cook. However, the kitchen looks quiet. I went back to my room too. Shortly thereafter, Ridho returned home from the mosque.
"Tok Mommy ain't cooking?" my many.
"Mother's holiday rarely cook. We usually buy vegetables or eat out. Even if it's a little late."
"Ooh, that. Did I cook it myself?"
"Ga. You'll be sapped later. Wait for Mother. If you don't cook, then buy food."
"Yes, yeah."
We lay back and talked until morning. As the clockwork pointed to the number six, Ridho and I walked out of the room. Mother cleans the living room. I also approached him.
"I'm helping you, Bun?"
"Let Mother only. You sit there first." Mother pointed to the sofa that had been cleaned dust.
I nodded and followed Mother's words. I saw Dad washing the car in the yard. Ridho came closer to help him.
"Said Ridho if the holidays sometimes not cooking yes, Bun?"
"Yes. Buy often. But if you taste something, then Mommy masakin."
"Ga anyway, Bun. Kirain cooks too but fuck."
"The ingredients in the refrigerator are running out again. After cleaning the plan to go to the market near here."
"I'm coming, Bun. Long time to go to the market."
"If you're not cape, you can."
"Well, not too."
"Yes already. You take a shower and get ready first. Mommy wants to finish the laundry, keep drying."
"Yes, Bun."
I went back to my room to get a towel and a change of clothes. After bathing and getting dressed, I went back to the room. While combing his hair, Ridho came closer.
"Morning is fragrant" he said, kissing my hair. "Where are you going?"
"Go to the market with Mommy. It's not papa, is it?"
"Yes. But promise must be careful the way."
"Ready, Mr. Ridho!" candaku.
Ridho laughed, then pinched my cheek. "Yes already. I take a shower, yeah. It's wet with his shirt."
"Yes. It stinks!"
"Times?" tanyanya kissed her collar. "You sweat it out."
I looked up at his behavior. "I'm kidding, really."
"Basic naughty!" Ridho tickled my waist.
