The Love Story of Two Pearls

99. Yusuf and Yasmin Anniversary

"Assalamu 'alaikum, '" said several people who are currently in front of the door of the house of Joseph's family.

"Wa'alaikum greetings" replied Yasmin and Yusuf who had gathered at home this afternoon.

"You guys, come in, we've been waiting for you since," Yusuf told Wildan, Anna, Ameer and Ameerah, Ameer's 8-year-old younger brother.

*Flashback*

That afternoon, Ameer who wanted to visit Rabiah had to go home first to pick up Ameerah, this he did to avoid slander that could have arisen if he came alone.

However, when he arrived home, he found Ameerah, his mother and father were busy getting ready.

"Mother, father, Ameerah, where are you going?" ask Ameer astonished.

"Loh, did you forget? tomorrow will be a small celebration for the 16th wedding anniversary of uncle Yusuf and aunty Yasmin, so we plan to go to their house this afternoon to help prepare for the show tomorrow" Anna explained in a train-like breath, quickly and without pause.

Ameer was stunned for a moment, she reassembled word by word the mother said so that she could understand what her mother had just said.

"Oh my goodness, yes Ameer completely forgot," said Ameer patting his eel, "alhamdulillah on time," he continued with a happy smile.

*flashback off*

All the families had now gathered in Joseph's house, including Shawwal's father and Hafsah's mother, Ummi Ulfa and Abi Hasan, Yana and Yani who had arrived earlier this morning.

"Something seems less." Wildan flanked his own chin while observing everyone there. "Biah, where's Biah?" continues asking.

"Ah yes, Biah was resting in his room, he had a fever, but thank God now his fever has gone down," replied Yasmin.

"Oh well deserved, my nephew's love that one money, hopefully soon to recover,"

"Aamiiiin.." said everyone slowly.

"Kasian is also double R, they look boring when there is no Rabiah," Wildan chuckled making Rahul and Rahil snort.

"Uncle, it is precisely Rabiah and the people will get bored if there are no two of us, right Rahil?"

"Yes right uncle, Rabiah without Rahul and Rahil is like a vegetable without sugar" Rahil said confidently.

"Oh yes forgot, apparently there is no sweet vegetable," said Rahil while scratching her head that does not itch.

Everyone in the room chuckles amusedly at the behavior of Rahul and Rahil who are very excited when inside the house, but will be silent a thousand languages when outside the house. Not out of fear, but they will automatically activate the cold mode on people like the character of Joseph, they are like that.

At night, everyone gathered in the back yard of the house, while the women were busy preparing the seasoning food that would become tomorrow's dish menu, the men were busy with the grilled corn. Yasmin does want to serve her self-cooked meals, she wants tomorrow's event to be more meaningful to her.

Ameer, who had been anxious to see Rabiah, had to endure, let alone the news of Rabiah's improvement he had heard earlier from Yasmin.

"Ameer, help you go to the kitchen and drink water first, father pesesesan nih, where the water is exhausted again," exclaimed Wildan while giving a container of water to Ameer.

"Okay dad" replied Ameer and went to the kitchen not far from the backyard.

Just stepping his feet into the kitchen, Ameer was surprised by the presence of Rabiah who was sitting on a chair while drinking water.

The eyes of the two met, Ameer's heart rumbled, but she quickly neutralized her face and movements to the best of her usual.

"Well, how are you?"

"Alhamdulillah brother, Biah has improved, his fever has also come down,"

"Alhamdulillah if so, have you eaten?"

"Udah brother, Ummi brought food to Biah's room, brother Ameer want to take drinking water?"

"Eh i-iya, I was asking for help, the water behind me was gone" Biah just nodded his head in response to Ameer's words.

Silent for a moment

"You want to eat grilled corn? let brother take it," said Ameer, breaking his silence and awkwardness to Rabiah.

"No brother, Biah was full, yes already Biah to the room first well sis," said Rabiah then left Ameer alone in the kitchen.

After Rabiah's departure, Ameer groped his chest, "God willing, this heart is why it is so close. Be patient in love, if indeed we are destined to be together later, eat this love I will present with pleasure to you, "his mind with a smile.
