Zalfa just listened to Mbak Yen's story carefully. He felt happy to be a part that turned out to be able to bring a little change in Arkhan. Zalfa then left the garden and entered the house after finishing watering the flowers. He went straight to the kitchen when he felt his hungry stomach. He remembered his soup had not been touched and of course would be a stomach booster when hungry like this. But he was surprised when he saw the soup bowl was no longer on the dining table.
Who took it? Zalfa wondered. He went to the sink to see a dirty bowl that might have been eaten by someone else and the dirty bowl was placed there, but he found nothing there. Never mind, Zalfa doesn't want to bother. He also wanted to go out to find food.
Half-running, Zalfa climbed the stairs to pick up his bag and wallet. As he passed by the family room on the second floor, he passed by Maria.
“Mama!” greet Zalfa with a smile.
Maria nodded. He looked at Zalfa while shaking his phone like he was looking for a signal. “I was delivering food, but somehow my message failed to continue.”
“Ooh. What food would you buy?” Ask Zalfa softly.
“Not necessary. I don't want to trouble you. You will be tired. You are a newlywed, it is not good if there are too many activities,” Maria replied in a motherly tone.
Zalfa was very happy to hear Maria's soft words and her tone was soothing. “This doesn't bother me at all, Mama. Coincidentally I was also intending to go out to look for breakfast.”
“Really?”
“Iya, Mama. Mama said just want to buy what food.”
Maria frowned as she thought, it seemed that she still objected for fear of inconveniencing Zalfa. “But I don't want you to think that you're here being told to by me. You're here to live and live happily, so don't think your life is going to be hard here. This is your home, Arkhan's yours too. Don't feel awkward. And don't bother yourself just because of the inconvenience of living with us.” Maria touched Zalfa's arm at a glance.
Indeed, Zalfa's heart felt very happy to be treated with such courtesy by her in-laws. The situation would be different if he married Faisal, who had received a strong rejection from Bu Fatima from the beginning.
“Iya, Mama. Thanks much. Mama also don't think that I mind helping mama. It's pure I did it sincerely.” Zalfa's face brightly lit. “Mama ask to buy what food?” I don't know how many times Zalfa asked the same question.
“Bread Mr. Maman,” answered Maria then he mentioned the address of the place of sale of the bread. “Alright, I'll get you the money first.”
“Nevent gone, Mama. I have money, kok.”
Zalfa smiled at the passing of her in-laws. He entered the room and took his bag, wallet and cell phone. Then he returned to the place where he had been asked to wait. He just obeyed the words of his in-laws to use only his in-laws' money. That way, maybe Maria will feel relieved.
Shortly thereafter, Maria appeared.
“This fetch!” Maria handed me some money.
Zalfa was astonished at the money being thrust. Would you like to buy breakfast or a bag? “That's a lot, Ma?”
“Bring it up.”
Zalfa did not want to dodge anymore because it would certainly only cause debate. “Biklah, I'm leaving, Ma.”
“Be careful. Don't speed when driving. Look left and right. Don't be in a hurry.”
Zalfa nodded. At first, Maria was seemingly indifferent, but up to this point, Zalfa came to know that her in-laws were considerate, affectionate, and sharing.
Zalfa came down the stairs and left the house in Arkhan's car.
On the way, he stopped at a red light. He rolled down the windshield when he saw a little boy walking in shabby clothes.
“Dek!” calling Zalfa made the little boy turn his head. “This is for you!” Zalfa handed the child a piece of money that Mary had given.
The boy smiled widely and jumped up. He then thanked me with a signal. Zalfa realized that the boy could not speak. Zalfa's eyes moved to the car that stopped next to him. Through the open kacxa, he saw Faisal's face in the car.
