The Bride Who Didn't Miss

CHAPTER 14

Arriving at the dinner table. My mom and dad were there. While Winda had already gone to kampua with provisions in his bag. Today Winda has a morning course, so he hastily left because he does not want to be late to get there. Understandably lately the road is often jammed because there is an improvement.

"Eh, son Rafka. Here sit next to Dad." Greet Dad when you see his daughter-in-law walking towards the dining table.

Rafka smiled at the father-in-law's greeting. He nodded slowly at Dad's request to sit next to him.

Upon arrival there Rafka also pulled a chair that was beside Father-in-law and now they sit next to each other.

Annisa chose to sit next to her mother.

"Nisa, you're sitting down." Mother said when she saw her daughter who was now sitting next to her.

"Bye, Mom. If you don't sit down, Nisa has to stand up." Annisa.

"Not that either. I mean you don't sit down, serve your husband." Mother said teaching her daughter to prioritize her husband first and then after that she.

"Oh, yes." Annisa said, who immediately understood her mother's intention to remind her to serve her husband.

Father shook his head, looking at the attitude of his daughter who still did not realize that now he already had a husband to serve.

"I'm sorry Nisa, Rafka's son. Understand that he's not used to it." Father said to Rafka who was smiling back by Rafka.

Annisa then walked towards the chair that Rafka was sitting on. Then she grabbed the plate on the table and began to get food for her husband.

"Which side dish do you want?" Annisa asked because there were eggs and fried chicken.

"This is all." Rafka said while pointing to the egg in front of him.

Annisa took it and handed it to Rafka. Not to forget also he poured water in an empty glass belonging to Rafka, even though there was already a glass of milk.

After she finished serving her husband, Annisa then returned to her seat.

"That's donk Nis. The wife must serve her husband wholeheartedly." Said Mom while smiling

"Yes, Miss . ." Annisa said while nodding.

"Come Rafka please eat, do not hesitate. It's all Nisa herself who's cooking." Said the mother who allowed her daughter-in-law to eat immediately.

"Yes, Mom." Rafka answered while eating her food.

"Hmm, although only fried rice but it tastes quite good like in a famous restaurant.

Rafka muttered as she continued to eat her food.

***

After everyone finished eating breakfast. Rafka now steadied his heart to immediately talk about his desire to move from there.

"Dad, Mother." Rafka softly started her conversation.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ask Dad while looking at Rafka.

"Someone wants Rafka to talk to Dad and Mom." Rafka said as he put the words right in his head.

"What do you want to say? Say." Said Dad listening.

"Rafka wants to invite Annisa to stay with Rafka, Mom, Dad." Rafka said his point.

"Living together, you mean you're moving out of here?" Ask Dad.

"Yes" answered Rafka.

"Son, why move? Stay here with us." Said the mother who seemed to disagree with Rafka's wishes.

"But son, where are you going to live? At your parents' house?" Ask Mom.

"No. We will live in an elite housing estate in the city center, not far from here. Rafka bought the house three months ago and it's ready to go." Rafka.

"Mother and Father are allowed to come home every day, and Rafka also allows Annisa to visit here more often." The timpal again.

"But does Annisa agree?" Ask Dad.

"Nisa agrees well, although it's a bit heavy." Annisa said as she looked down.

"Alright, if Annisa has agreed. When are you going to move?" Ask them again.

"It's Dad this afternoon." Sahut Rafka's.

"Quick that? Why not wait a few more days."

Said the father who seemed to object to this sudden decision.

"Dad, today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is not the same. Annisa will keep going from here to our new home. Dad, actually Nisa also can't bear to have to part with you so soon. Nisa still wants to stay here with Dad and Mom. But Nisa must also realize that now Nisa already has a husband. Didn't Mother herself say that now Nisa must prioritize Nisa's husband first so that she can be comfortable with Nisa. After all, if we live in our own homes, it will be easier for us to get to know each other's nature and character, Well, Mom." Annisa said at length.

"Our son is already a great ma'am, and what he says there is also his truth. Let them live independently, not far from the house is still in the city." The father who began to agree to the wishes of both.

"As much as you guys, I'll sort it out how good." Say Mother. Although not willing, now he resigned to the decision of Annisa and Rafka.

Afternoon.

Annisa who had packed her things then came out of the room with her suitcase. Likewise with Rafka, he also took out his suitcase which was brought by the in-laws last night.

They then walked towards the living room because there Father and Mother had been waiting for their arrival.

"Dad, Mother. Nisa says yes." Annisa said, yapping her parents' hands together.

The helpless mother let go of her daughter and cried tears.

"Be careful, son, take good care of yourself there. Hicks." Said Mom crying.

"Mom, don't cry. Nisa is sad." Annisa also could not hold back her tears until finally spilled wet her cheeks. He hugged his mother tightly.

"Mom, don't cry anymore. Nisa promises to come see Mom often." His words calmed his mother.

"Yes Mom, never mind. if Mom like this continues Nisa will keep the same mind and will not focus on the same household." Said the father who calmed down and then wiped his wife's tears.

"Dad . . Mom would be embarrassed. Cook me wiping Mom's tears anyway, like a little boy's mother." Said the mother who was embarrassed because there was Annisa and Rafka who witnessed their romantic attitude.

"Why should I be ashamed, it is my duty to accompany Mom in her joys and sorrows." Said Dad with a smile.

Annisa who was crying then joined smile when she saw Father and Mother who looked romantic even though they were no longer young.

"Mom, don't worry, Rafka promises to take good care of Nisa." Rafka again reassured Mom.

"Yes son. Mom and Dad believe in you. Now go so you can rest faster." Said the mother who had given up her daughter's departure.

"Yes, Rafka and Nisa say yes Mom, Dad." Rafka said as she crucified both hands of her in-laws.

"Yes, be careful." Say Mom and Dad at the same time.

They finally left the residence of Annisa's parents to head towards the city. Where Rafka bought his new home. And that's where the new story begins.
