The day turned morning, Maymunah was now ready to go home to her in-laws.
"Thank God, we are now at my mother's house. Later you tell mama, if iqomah (ktp ) you are being taken care of, ok?" Said the Sultan after they arrived in front of his mother's house.
Maymunah just smiled, he immediately got out of the car, and immediately headed inside.
They both walked towards the front door. They didn't realize, a pair of hateful eyes caught them.
"Based on a hypocritical woman, who looks like a holy pretender, she's a seductress too" the woman muttered.
Lilis who was throwing garbage, happened to see Maymunah enter along with the Sultan.
"Assalamualaikum "Sapa Sultan to his family who was sitting relaxing.
"Alaikumussalam .ahlen Ya waladi (welcome my son) "Greet Ummi Fathmah with a fluffy smile.
The Sultan immediately approached and kissed his mother on the forehead, then kissed the head of his older sister, ibtisam.
"Where have you been?And Maymunah why did you just bring it?" Ibtisam asked as he looked towards Maymunah who had just entered and immediately said hello.
"Assalamualaikum Ummi, madam" he said to his in-laws and brother-in-law.
"Greetings Alaikum, where have you been, Maymunah?" Ask Umm Fathmah.
"I'm from the KBRI, Ummi." Maymunah answered while looking down.
"And where have you been this week?" The Sultan's turn to be questioned.
"I've met my friends in Jeddah, ummah" replied the Sultan.
"Yes, please go to your room!" Ummi Fathmah to Maymunah.
Maymunah immediately withdrew to her room in the back.
His arrival was greeted by Susi and Aminah with a smile and a sense of joy, but not with Lilis who looked at him with a cynical look.
"Ah you hypocrite, I know you have a relationship with the Sultan. You don't be happy, Sultan it's just the benefits of your body. Once he is bored, he will throw you away, just as he dumped me. " Lilis whispers to Maymunah as Susi and Aminah leave.
Degs..
Maymunah's face flushed red instantly, she looked at Lilis sharply and a cynical smile as well.
"Thank God I'm not the woman you say I am. Do not because your heart is rotten, you then think everyone is also rotten like you" he replied in a whisper as well, stepping away leaving Lilis with a myriad of hatred.
Lilis snorted angrily, she did not expect that Maymunah would dare to answer her.
"Awas you, I will make you lose face, I will take off your cover so that everyone knows your real rotten face" Lilis murmured in her heart.
Days changed, a week had passed since Maymunah came back to her father-in-law's house, but the Sultan was still not able to be frank with his mother, even her and Summaya's engagement will still last a few more days.
"Mae, you are called Umm Fathmah" Susi said. Maymunah immediately headed for the family room.
"Maymunah, tomorrow after tomorrow you have to make a lot of cakes, later we will take it to the home of the future in-laws of the Sultan and Wasim, because the night is their engagement event "Tutur Ummi Fathmah softly. But even though it sounded soft, it still felt like a dagger that was being pierced into his reed.
"O Allah, the day after tomorrow is the engagement of the Sultan and Sumayya, but the Sultan has not done what he promised me at all" Maymunah muttered in her heart, He looked down bitterly, to make Umm Fathmah feel surprised.
"Maymunah, what's wrong with you? it hurt?" Ask.
"It doesn't hurt, Ummi. In sha Allah I will try to prepare everything "Absaid Maymunah by forcing her smile.
"Ok, Oh yeah, we'll have another guest tonight. My son who went to college in London is coming today because he wants to attend his sister's wedding.
Because Wasim and Sultan after getting engaged the day after tomorrow, and about two weeks there will be aqad continued reception at the hotel"
Degs..
Maymunah's face turned pale instantly upon hearing her in-laws' words.
With all his might, he tried to hide the wound in his heart and force his aunt to smile.
"Ok, Ummi, excuse me first"
Withstanding the thousands of pains in his heart, he passed his retreat towards the kitchen.
After he was in the kitchen, he immediately ran towards his room and burst into tears.
"Oh my God, how is this? to this day the Sultan has not dared to talk to his mother, while the wedding of the Sultan and Sumayya will still take place .hik him hik" Gumamnya lirih.
I immediately typed a chat for Sultan.
[Your fiancee's show will be executed the day after tomorrow, but you haven't kept your promise"] sent.
[By Allah, my dear, I don't know that myself. All prepared Ummi without asking my opinion at all pity] sent.
Sultan's Reply.
Maymunah did not reply again chat Sultan.
He immediately strengthened his heart and immediately rushed into the kitchen to cook.
The night began to come, the family of Ummi Fathmah has now been present all, from the first child to the last, live Sultan who has not come, because he was assigned to pick up his sister at Jeddah Airport.
Soon, the car they were waiting for came.
A handsome young man who somewhat resembled Sultan , got down from the Sultan's car.
"Assalamu aleikum "Help to all present.
"Hulluhhll..Solli ala nabi "Excite the women to welcome the arrival of Ahmad.
No matter where the origin is, it has become a habit of Arab women, they will whistle while saying Solawat, when they are happy like the arrival of long-awaited guests and so on.
Ummi Fathmah immediately hugged his son and kissed him, because Ahmad had not returned from London for almost a year.
"How are you, son?"
"I'm good Ummah, ummah how are you?. Oh yes wait a minute, I want to take a drink first" said Ahmad as he would step into the kitchen, but prevented by Umm Fathmah.
"Don't go, if you're thirsty, I'll call the maid to bring you water" Umm Fathmah said, still holding her child and calling Maymunah.
With a forced smile, Maymunah walked into the living room carrying a tray.
Degs..
The sultan, who saw his wife come in with water like a maid, could only grieve with a million of her guilt.
There was a heartbreaking pain in both of them, both Maymunah's heart and the Sultan's heart, when their views met.
"Dear, I'm sorry. You should be treated this way because of my cowardice "Sultan murmured in his heart.
"This is the water, Ummi.. Please!" Maymunah said softly.
Ahmad who had seen the arrival of Maymunah who was not wearing a veil when at home, was seen swallowing saliva and looked at the woman in front of him without blinking.
"Ma sha Allah, beautiful creation of this one God" he muttered in a voice rather loud to be heard by the Sultan who directly hit his shoulder.
"Heh, keep your eyes on me! " I am still, but in whispers. Ahmad, who was shocked from his daydream, could only grin while blushing.
"Maymunah, here's the tray. You go back to the kitchen." Said the Sultan gently while taking the tray filled with water from his wife.
Maymunah immediately resigned.
After all, and the Sultan entered his room, it turned out that Ahmad instead went to the kitchen to greet Maymunah who was busy cleaning the kitchen.
"Hi, is your name, Maymunah?" Ask Ahmad in English.
Maymunah just nodded without looking at her sister-in-law.
"Waw, pretty. Your name is very beautiful, introduce .I am Ahmad" Ahmad reached out his hand, intending to introduce himself, but Maymunah just nodded without giving another response.
"Why are you quiet. You must be afraid of my mother and brother. You don't fear me, I'm used to living in London, so I've been used to talking to women like this.. No problem really" Crocos Ahmad while taking drinking water.
"Oh.so so is your education there?" Sultan asked, suddenly entering the kitchen.
"Ah you sultan, do not be pretentious to advise me, indeed I do not know who you are. You're worse than me." Ahmad replied, making the Sultan not warty.
"Maymunah, you don't get seduced by my brother on this one. He's a tombal king and a womanizer . You have to be careful" Ahmad said again.
Maymunah who heard that could only smile while turning her back to the two sisters.
"What if the king is a dreadlocks? You are the one who does not try - try to approach Maymunah. Let's go there! " Tell the Sultan with a sewot.
"Waws. Are you jealous, huh?.. You will soon be engaged. You don't try anything!" Ahmad rebuked his brother.
"Already! please let me finish my work. And I hope you can appreciate me. In Saudi Arabia or in Indonesia or anywhere else, haram remains haram. A person who is not a mahram remains unclean. " Maymunah said firmly, divorcing the brothers' quarrel.
"You heard, right? lefs go! Do not try to approach Maymunah, she is not a cheap woman "Sultan said while pulling his sister's hand.
