Should I Joke (Again)

12. Follow said mama

The next day, Rei is invited by Dina and her mother to her subscription boutique. They will order Dina's wedding dress and also her reception uniform.

Rei felt inappropriate because he was still not fully official as a member of the Ardan family. Even their status was only a close friend. But seeing the attitude of the Ardan family who accepted him, Rei finally collapsed.

"Do not understand what people say, who live we are not them, let them say what, as long as it does not disturb us cuek alone." it was Ardan's message that Rei always heard if he started to feel uncomfortable.

"You can even shut their mouths with your money, but free people envy and that sirik will always be there. So let it be, anyway if tired will stop alone."

Ardan's parents are no longer concerned about Rei's status, the important thing is that their happy child is more than enough. Like a tree, the higher it is, the firmer the wind that blows it. That's what Papa Ardan said, too.

All the dresses for Dina's wedding are ready, just wait for the results for fitting. They then continued to travel to one of the malls for haunting covenir and monthly shopping.

Mama Dyah, taking her son and prospective daughter-in-law shopping because they are saturated. He also said to be more familiar with his future daughter-in-law.

They were shopping for groceries and some clothes, the big lady seemed happy that her future daughter-in-law was obedient, she did not choose much less neko-neko like some of her son's former lovers.

Dina who realized that her mother was getting familiar with Rei, deliberately filmed their activities today. Starting from choosing clothes and groceries, his mother was very domineering. Rei only resigned, although sometimes protested because there was too much he had brought. A few pockets of dresses, and also her mama's lingerie bought for Rei.

Laughing at the behavior of his mother and Rei who were so much because the protest was not being discussed, made Dina impatient to send the video. And click, video sent.

View incoming messages in the chat application on his mobile, open his video submission and laugh. His mother really dominates, as he knows his mother if he likes something will certainly be very loyal.

After that Ardan called Rei, he knew exactly how Rei was. She is not the type of woman who is crazy shopping, let alone someone who treats her. Ardan recalled his second meeting with Rei at the mini market that night, how Rei refused to be paid, even forcing him to change his money by buying him a meal.

Fortunately, Ardan already knew a lot about Rei from Miko so, when Rei did not want to owe him, he invited Rei to watch and eat, though the original only mode so it can be all day with Rei.

"Hello" replied the voice across

"Assalamualaikum, beautiful."

"waalaikumsalam, mas"

"It's dong, just change to a videocall, miss I see your face." Ardan then changed his phone.

"Eh, why are those lips so much. Any issues?" asked Ardan when he saw Rei's face.

"Mas, said mom had bought enough. It's overdone, I'm not good. I've never brought anything, even I bought all sorts. All sorts of lingerie bought."

"What, mama bought lingerie. Know your mom if her son is ready to love her grandson." seduced Ardan while laughing.

"Maassss.malah was joking anyway" Rei pouted.

"Honey, my mama is so if she already likes and fits something will definitely be loyal. Maybe he bought it for Dina, so let's not envy bought it too."

"Yes, my mom said that too. But still I'm not good, I don't want to refuse also can't."

"You say, follow what Mom says. Yes, I want to go to work, I'll have lunch at home."

Ardan resumed his work checking emails and some files that he had brought home. For him as long as there is free time he will use to work.

Workaholic yes that's him, but since near Rei he began to reduce his activities outside working hours. Because to be able to meet with Rei was also not as easy as he thought, Rei's job was very time-consuming. Even sometimes during the weekend he still entered, although not serving customers.

Ardan wanted that if they were to mate and get married, Rei would only focus on his household. But that hasn't been discussed with Rei.

Rei, Mama and Dina have arrived at home and immediately put down the groceries. Rei followed mama into the kitchen, helped put the groceries. Actually mama told Rei to rest, but Rei insisted on helping.

"Yes ma, gapapa anyways let Rei ga bengong aja in the room"

Mama Dyah nodded and left him in the kitchen. Rei then invited aunt to cook dinner, she asked papa's favorite menu, mama and also Ardan. Finally, after about an hour in the kitchen, Rei went into Ardan's room to clean himself up.

Ardan who was in his study did not know that Rei had returned from the mall. Intending to clean himself up, it turns out that even found Rei asleep in his room, maybe he was exhausted he thought. Kiss Rei's forehead, clean himself up and head out to the kitchen to grab a drink.

Ardan was surprised, there were so many dishes on the dining table, and his favorite menu was also there. Clear vegetables, sambal terasi and fried fish, as well as some favorite dishes papa and his mama.

Seeing aunt again cleaning the kitchen the rest of the cooking earlier, immediately lowered her head when she saw her master's son there. The aunt who knew the expression of her young master could only smile, as it was rare to see her eating such a simple menu.

"Bi, tumben mama cook clear vegetable. In what order does this sumptuous cuisine cook?" ask Ardan. Make them a fancy menu that is not the one in a five-star restaurant, but a simple menu like this.

"It's not the aunt who cooks the mas, it's not the mama either. But mbak Rei" Bibik said.

"Huh.. right, Rei can cook, a lot like this?" ask Ardan to come back. My aunt just smiled and nodded.

"Rei's impression was not disturbed in the slightest even though I kissed him it turned out that after shopping he was still cooking" Ardan said.

Along with Papa, Mama and Dina walked into the dining room, and sat down in their seats.

"Well, where's Renita and? Don't tell me you're taking him overtime" his papa teased.

"Papa, what the hell is not halal cooking has been taught overtime. Padaah nih" said Dina

"Papa could, Dinah was a new Ardan. I want Rei to be completely ready to remarry, and to have forgotten his trauma." Ardan said.

Papa nodded, it was not easy to overcome the trauma, let alone the failure of Rei's marriage had made him close himself.

Mama who had realized Renita's absence, began to ask her how she was.

"And where's Renita? You haven't brought her home yet, have you? Mama's not happy talking to him."

"He was sleeping in the room, Ardan entered he did not wake up blaz, tired times mama took muters" cried Ardan.

"Yes sister, mama like kalab people all bought until lingerie all. Oh, my mom really." Dina replied, the mother just spouted her mouth.

"Surely, mama thought rather than bring clothes again mending mama buy so if nginap here do not bother to bring clothes. Mama can take him for a walk."

All in the room was just laughing, they knew his mother would not be able to be rejected his wishes.

"But don't go out often, he works, pity if he has to leave his job" said papa

"Yes not pa, at least if it's a weekend or a holiday. Mom knows her work too. By the way, who cooks, a lot. Pa, there's a clear vegetable and sambal terasi. I think it's gonna be a lot"

"Loh, didn't you just tell the cook aunt?"

"No, sir. This is all mbak Rei who cooks, it was fitting the groceries he asked the favorite dishes of father, mother, mas Ardan as well." replied aunt while putting a jar containing crackers.

"Geez, the boy was told to rest and cook. And, wake up gih, let it eat together." ordered his mother.

Ardan went to his room, woke Rei and they ate together. Rei was happy that his cooking was liked by the Ardan family. Not in vain Rei cooking, although the menu is simple but they really enjoy it even a few times added.
