Surviving Although Difficult

Chapter 7: feeling nervous

"come in mba,! Let me put the suitcase in the trunk."

I'm confused brother mas tiyas told me to go in where?, did he ask me to go in the house or what? But why would my suitcase be kept in the trunk."

"sorry where do I go? Are you telling me to go in that house again."I asked to point to the house I was just about to leave.

"no mba, I mean get in the car, it's there?" he said pointing to the road, indeed no one will know if there is a car there because the place is quite dark.

I walked around following Mas tiyas' sister, I don't know her name yet because she hasn't introduced herself.

After I opened the rear car door and then entered and sat comfortably, it was so dark in the car that I had to carefully justify my seat.

"darklame?" I said as I inched to cut the distance with the person I just held his hand.

To my surprise, I realized that I had accidentally grabbed someone else's hand.

I hit my forehead swearing shit at myself, I just remember if ever since I got out of the house I didn't see the nose of mas tiyas, maybe he's been in the car since.

I was getting made to tremble realizing I was sitting right beside him, well,! Who else is next to me if open tiyas mas.

"sorry mas is you." I asked.

"hemm" he answered briefly but was able to make me even more shuffle to the car door.

"Oh Allah.Why this heart can not be compromised, just hold his hand my heart is willing to jump, how later if it is married, hopefully I do not die standing."

"what mas has been here since," I asked again was still reluctant to approach,

"hemm..?"

"can't he talk more, I'm really scared if he's stiff like that, but I'm more afraid if he's not a mas tiyas."

"sit right, don't tilt so like a drunk person"

"i.iya mas ma..sorry,?"

"thank God it's true tiyas, but whose car is this,?" my mind just realized with this car, the article yesterday mas tiyas only go home with an angkot, if you have a car as good as this why you should be willing to overheat in angkot.

But I don't want to ask a lot of questions, afraid that later I'll mispronounce,

The car has now passed the border, I left the house after the prayer, I finished praying,

I saw a little clock curled up in my hand, already at 20:35, which means we were half an hour on the road.

My body also feels tired and feels sore, maybe due to a fall earlier.

I rested my back, it felt very comfortable when someone supported me from behind.

Until a few minutes later drowsiness began to attack me, somehow I fell asleep, which I certainly did not want to wake up immediately, only this time I slept in a sitting position and felt very comfortable.

"lis bamgunlah lita has arrived"

hearing that voice I immediately woke up, I blinked my eyes. Until the lights in the car began to look, tafi was not turned on so dark.

But now everything is clear, even I who was still leaning on the chest of the tiyas directly toppled my head to the door of the car.

"oh.." my ringis rubbed my head.

"be careful with your movements" said mas tiyas to help me sit properly.

"yes, what's wrong, don't you like sleeping in my arms."

"suurrrhhh?" it felt like the wind was blowing at his words,

"mom..can't I just?"

"come down all are waiting for you inside" said mas tiyas cut speech and then came out with his sister's help.

When I got out of the car I was still reluctant to get in, here I did not know anyone, until the tiyas came up to me, it seems he understood if I was nervous.

"let's go in with me, if anyone tells you to tell me,"

"would they accept me mas, you know I came before we got married, what would they think of me."

"they need an explanation, if you're nervous let me explain to them, you'll just be quiet enough if no one asks, and answer if anyone asks."

I nodded and followed the two of them, now I pushed the tiyas mas chair because his sister had to carry my suitcase which was stuffed with me no matter what, I didn't know what I put in the suitcase until I had trouble picking it up.

"Assalamu'alaikum" greetings the three of us.

"Greetings" replied the people inside.

I saw Fatma walking towards me, I immediately salami her hand and she hugged me.

"let's go in, son, I've been waiting for you ever since"

"since then? Surely mas tiyas already talked a lot with his family, if not? How could they possibly make a welcome like this."

"so mom's cooking, we'll eat first, yeah,! you must not have eaten either,! it just so happens that tiyas and zean haven't eaten either, so let's eat together to make it even better."

"zean?"

"yes? Zean tiyas' sister who was with you earlier."

"oh? Sorry you haven't met, yet,"

"it's okay baby, it's just a name masala, let's go to the dinner table, zean and tiyas must have eaten first."

When the same inside it turns out not only mas tiyas and zean alone are inside, but there are other family members who enliven.

"wha.so this is the prospective sister-in-law, it turns out to be more beautiful than the photo shown kak tiyas, know me between the second sister tiyas."

I wonder since when did the tiyas take my picture.

"i'm sulis" I replied embarrassedly.

"mba later teach me to wear hijab yes, because mba sulis is very beautiful in a hijab, I also want dong as beautiful as mba sulis."

I just interrupted and did not say much, I saw that the tiyas had finished eating, I was surprised, why no one was talking about my arrival,

There was no sound on the dining table other than the sound of the clanking of spoons clashing against each other on each plate.

After all, I helped my mother and between cleaning the dining table, actually my mother had forbidden me, but I was not tasty, as a guest of course must know myself too, what else this is my future-in-law's house, what else, of course I have to give the best impression.

I also went out with my mother and interrupted after the work inside was all done.

"son if you are tired of rest, you can sleep with a mother's daughter, understand because the house is small, so the room is not much,! In this house there are only four rooms, and all of them there are residents, so you sleep with the daughter of the mother, after your new marriage you have one room with tiyas, hopefully you can feel yes stay here."
