The Mafia's heart

Part 25's. Henna Bride

In the afternoon Kaira arrived home. The house looks crowded by neighbors. Because Umma does not use catering, the neighbors are the ones who help cook the food and drinks that will be served during the event.

"Assalamualaikum.." Greetings Kaira enter the front door. Inside there are already the neighbors who are busy with their duties. Because Kaira wants her wedding at home instead of at a five-star hotel.

"Waalaikumsalam, "" replied the man who was in the house in unison.

"Well the bride-to-be is coming! How to get out anyway? No stretching in the dalem." seduced by one of them.

"The mother mah, the wedding is just waiting for tomorrow! Where could stretch." joked Kaira chimed in the temptation of the mothers earlier.

"Have you come, son? How smoothly not who takes care of his cut letter?" tanya Umma from behind Kaira.

Kaira drew closer to Umma, she put on the most beautiful smile she had, while yapping the back of her slightly wrinkled hand at the age meal. "Alhamdulillah smoothly Umma!" answer Kaira.

"I want to go to the room first Umma, want to clean up. Later help Umma." said Kaira. Umma Fatimah nodded in approval to her daughter's words. Not even five steps Kaira's departure. Umma remembered with the message of the candidate besan earlier.

Oh yea! I almost forgot to tell Kaira.

"Son...!" call Umma.

"Yes Umma! What was? Umma need Kai's help?" Kaira brought herself closer towards Umma again.

"No boy, that was when Ranti sent the same message Umma. He said he'd stop by tonight, bring people to blow your hands. In shaa Allah after Isa later." said Umma.

"Umma..why not say no? Kai doesn't feel good to trouble Mommy. If only for henna, then you can ask Raina for help! He can be Umma." said Kaira politely.

"Umma is not happy who wants to refuse son! So in yes it was the same Umma" said Umma.

"Yes Umma..it's okay! If no one wants to say anything more, Kai goes to the room first." before Kaira goes into his room, he kisses Umma's right and left cheeks. Umma Fatimah gales with the behavior of her son.

"Ihh, people want to get married too! Kok nyium-nyium. It belongs to the husband!" umma cananda.

"Umma.bikin Kai is ashamed! It will be Umma not now." said Kaira behind the door of his room, he was too embarrassed to be Umma.

Kaira went into her room, which was decorated in the style of the bridal room. Well, it was a decoration chosen directly by the would-be in-laws. Honestly, he was so happy, even though the word love was still not embedded in his heart. He immediately cleaned himself into the bathroom.

Kaira's body felt refreshed, after wading her body with cold water. He doesn't want to leave the room and end it later! He was more waiting for Maghrib's time which was soon to come. He chose to read and study the Quran.

Time so quickly passed, after isa Kaira came out of her room. The house looks deserted there are only a few relatives who are still there, the work is done. Just wait for tomorrow.

"I don't know, I'm getting married!" kaira muttered to herself.

"Neng would-be manten forbidden to daydream, entar kesambet kan berabe!" said a relative of Kaira's age, who saw herself daydreaming.

"The dark can be aja oruh.eh in front of what is it rame?" ask Kaira.

"The balloons come time!"

"We go ahead yuk.." ngajak Kaira.

"Then I am, here." said Kaira.

"Yes, you will be your disobedient daughter-in-law. Do not welcome prospective in-laws.hayo! What's in here?" inevitably Kaira followed in front. In the living room, there were prospective in-laws and both parents talking. They all turned to Kaira. Kaira approached, then kissed the backs of the hands of both prospective in-laws and their parents.

"Sit here with Mommy" Mommy told Kaira. Kaira who will approach Ummanya so he pronounced.

"Yes Mom.." said Kaira, actually she felt awkward as Mommy Ranti. While the Adam who half a century, choose to move to the front porch only to connect their chat. They left the women in the living room. Who else would they be, if not Deddy Ervand and Abba Farukh.

"Know this Novi, the one who ngehenna you dear" said Mommy pointed to the woman who was older than Kaira.

"Yes Mom," Umma Fatimah was grateful, Kaira got in-laws who loved her very much. Seeing his iron he smiled.

"Novi, you're going straight to Kaira." Mommy Ranti told Novi.

Novi stood closer to Kaira, sitting down. Because it's inappropriate to sit next to Madame Mahmud. Kaira who saw that, immediately sat on the floor. Because they are less ethical.

"Nothing about the deck sits on top" Novi said.

"No, mbak! Like this. It's more comfortable!" kaira said Novi did not argue anymore. He took out henna's equipment.

"Dec wants a henna that's white what's red?" ask Novi.

"Henna the red one, which can penetrate the water of ablution yah." replied Kaira. Novi asserts Kaira's wishes. Then he put both hands smooth white and have beautiful fingers on a small pillow that is very fluffy. Novi himself sampek pangling only saw Kaira's hand.

Then he drew a pattern on Kaira's hand, just as the bride wanted. An hour later, the ngehenna event was finally over. But it is not finished, because novi has not put knick-knacks in Kaira's hands. He will put up tomorrow, because according to Kaira he will move later. So, baby if it's broken. While Umma and Mommy are busy chatting while laughing occasionally.

"Have Novi finished?" ask Mommy who saw Novi tidying up his equipment.

"Yes Madam." replied Novi.

"Jeng,, the,henna is done. We have to wait first! The conversation can be continued another time, yes" said Mommy Ranti.

"Yes, jeng, thank you! I'm going to bother coming here!" said Umma.

"Jeng Fatimah can do it! It doesn't bother me at all, I'm really happy. Don't worry about jeng! We're family, not anyone else!" said Mommy.

"Yes, yes! Thanks again." said Umma.

"Mom sorry! Kai could not salim first." while showing both his hands in henna.

"Yes baby!" Mommy kisses Kaira's cheeks, then hugs the prospective besan for farewell greetings.

"Assynoltom..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam.." they answered. Mommy and Novi are out. Not to forget Mommy approached her husband and went home.
