The Ketos

Episode 22

Galang remembered the figure of his late mother. At that time Galang cried when the mother was declared dead. It took a long time to let the mother go. One of the reasons Bagas did not remarry was because Bagas was afraid of not meeting a woman who sincerely loved his family.

After watching the two women embrace for a long time, Galang then ventured to knock on the door.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Shabita and Sandra broke each other's arms. Shabita wiped away the trace of her tears.

"Excuse me auntie!" He opened the door a little until he showed himself.

"Eh, Galang. Here in!" Sandra greeted him with a friendly smile.

Stroll into that room.

"Why are you here?" ask Shabita ketus.

He could see the girl's eyes and nose were red after crying.

"I'm going to get you home!" Galang replied with a smiley look that Shabita thought was fake. Shabita rolled her eyeballs.

"Hm, son Galang wait in the living room for a while. Mama wants to settle this with Shabita."

"Good, tan.."

"Mama!" Sandra cut Galang's speech.

"Yeah, ma." Galang rubbed his nape awkwardly.

Galang waited for Shabita in the living room, accompanied by Yudha.

"Lang, how's Shabita?" Yudha asked after drinking her coffee.

"Hem, what about you?" He was confused by his in-laws' question.

Both Galang and Shabita have not been used to calling his father-in-law as mama or papa so often slipped.

"Yes Pa." Galang nodded faintly.

Yudha looked at her daughter-in-law, her hands clapping Galang's thighs.

"Where is your relationship after marriage?" yudha asked looking serious.

Galang swallowed his saliva, a little nervous.

"Ba-well, Pa." replied Galang.

"Shabita, that's our only daughter. He was spoiled for people he thought loved him, but he was also stupid, stubborn. Papa just asks you to be patient." said Yudha.

"As long as he's alive, we haven't even snapped at him. If he did what we did wrong was to silence him so that he would be aware of his mistake, only after he regretted that we advised him. The papa's son was not a quiet woman, he was also ignorant. It's not often that his elementary schoolmates used to cry for his pranks." Yudha smiled in light of Shabita's behavior.

"Papa and mama hope you can love Shabita seriously hearted, if you do not love him, papa please do not hurt his heart. You can talk about it all with a cool head without involving emotions." Yudha added.

Galang still listened to his in-laws. In his heart he asked, can he be dear to his wife as Yudha requested?

"Be a good husband is also responsible for Shabita. Sorry, we as parents are too selfish to force you to get married to the point that you sacrifice your teenage years but papa believes in you that you can take care of Shabita and carry out our mandate. Papa put Shabita on you, Lang!" Yudha patted Galang on the shoulder.

It feels like being given a harder PR stack than Mathematics. Galang does not have a formula or even tell people to do it, all of it must be borne by himself as a husband.

"Good, Pa. As much as possible, I will remember papa's message. Thank you for entrusting Shabita to me." in the end the sentence came out of Galang's mouth spontaneously.

I don't know, in the future it will be like what is clear for now Galang wants to get out of the tension of talking seriously with the In-law. Only this time Galang felt tense and awkward at the same time, but usually he spoke in front of anyone was always straightforward. For the knee Galang not up tremor.

He saw Sandra and Shabita walking towards them.

"What the hell did you say? how about that tension?" chirps Sandra.
