Halal Love of the Senior
Candour

"Yes, right. I'm Sekar Ayu who used to-,"

"Defuse Mas Adi's proposal, right," said Dita without further ado.

Sekar Ayu gasped at Dita's words. Although it was the reality, but he did not expect, Dita would speak straightforwardly.

"I-yes, Deck. But it was a long time ago," said Sekar Ayu.

"Right, but I'll never forget, Ma'am," cynical Dita.

Sekar Ayu smiled wryly. He hopes to get a fresh breeze from Dita, but it turns out hope is not as beautiful as reality.

"How's it going, Dek?" Sekar Ayu is still trying to take Dita's heart.

"Alhamdulillah, fine."

"This is your son, Dek. Very cute," praise Sekar Ayu while approaching Ale stroller.

"Don't touch our son" Rendra said as soon as he saw Sekar Ayu reaching out to touch Ale.

Sekar Ayu pulled his hand. He glanced at Rendra who was staring intently at him. "I'm sorry, I'm anxious to touch her chubby cheeks."

"Our son should not be touched by just anyone" Rendra said.

"sorry. Mas, this is Dek Dita's husband, right?" asked Sekar Ayu with a slight bow in fear.

"Yes," answered Rendra short and cold.

"Include me, Sekar Ayu. Me and Dek Dita neighboring the village. We used to meet a lot when we were teaching at the mosque." Sekar Ayu reached out to Rendra.

"Sorry we're eating. You are disturbing our comfort. Could you please leave us, or I'll ask the restaurant to kick you out" Rendra said.

Sekar Ayu was again surprised by the straightforward attitude of the married couple in front of him. He pulled out his unwelcome hand from Rendra. His blood was boiling and got such treatment.

"I have come well to be in touch, but your attitude is very unpleasant" growled Sekar Ayu.

"Mas," Rendra called one of the waiters who was standing near the cashier.

"Okay, I'll go." Sekar Ayu hurried to leave them. He did not come out of the restaurant, but sat on one of the empty chairs while continuing to look at Rendra and Dita with a flushed face holding back in anger.

"Darling, nothing, right?" rendra asked his wife after Sekar Ayu left them.

Dita smile. "I'm nothing, Mom. There's nothing either."

"Who knows darling keeps having no appetite because of her." Rendra reveals the reason.

Dita chuckles. "My stomach needs more stuff for Ale, Mas. Ma'am Sekar I consider a mosquito passing by. Facing the frontal Mas fans alone I relaxed really, let alone just Mbak Sekar."

"Thank God then." Rendra breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mbak Sekar still hasn't left, Mas."

"Yes, maybe wait for us to finish." Rendra raised her shoulders. "Here you go, let's continue eating, honey. Ale's gonna wake up soon, it's time for milk."

"Yes, Mum." Dita returned to enjoying her meal quietly, without feeling disturbed by Sekar Ayu's gaze on them.

After eating, they went to the cashier to pay for the food they had ordered. After that, they got back in the car. Secretly followed them.

"Mas, this is Ma'am Adel apparently sent a message. He asked to buy food at the hotplate store." Dita had just opened her vibrating dress because there was a message coming in from her sister-in-law. "It turns out I sent a message, but I don't know."

"Then we buy Adel's order." Rendra started running his car out of the soft bone chicken restaurant. Several times he saw the rear view mirror and rear view mirror, making sure that no one followed them. Because he felt Sekar Ayu was following them.

"Why did you see the spy?" Dita was curious about her husband's unusual attitude.

"I can see that woman was following us, honey."

"Mbak Sekar means, Mas?" tanya Dita made sure.

Rendra nodded in response to the wife's question.

"I told Mas Adi that Mbak Adel asked for a hotplate. Mas Adi said, when not long ago they went there." Dita snickered reading Adi's message.

"The new Adel likes to eat sweet, dear."

"Yes, Mas. But he said he had cut down on his sweet food. Yesterday asked me my eating and snack patterns while I was pregnant with Ale."

"Honey, later we send the food via ojol," said Rendra.

"Why, Mas? Don't we go straight home?" Dita frowned.

"We're still being followed, honey. Don't let him follow us home."

"Where are we going, Mom?" Dita looked at her husband.

"Let me call my friend first. You can change cars a day. If we can go there. We use the car he makes it home" explained Rendra.

"Yes already. But, if his friend Mas can't how?"

"We'll just go to the apartment. Rest there."

"Whose apartment, Mas?"

"Sorry, Honey. I actually bought an apartment, but I haven't told you yet."

"When did you buy it?"

"It's been a long time, sweetie."

"There's a long time, Mom." Dita begins to get upset with her husband who is not open.

"Before we were married. I'll prepare that in case Honey doesn't want to stay with mama."

"Astaghfirullah, Mom. So for the last two years, did Mas cover up about that apartment?"

"Yes. Sorry, Sweetheart. Not that I don't want to be honest. But, I don't think it's time to talk."

"When is the plan going to talk?"

"Boy birthday tomorrow. I was planning to surprise you."

"What have these two years been doing this apartment for?"

"Because we're living with Mama, so the apartment's for rent, honey. I'm picking up my friend who used to handle apartment rentals. So, I just have to take the money. The money is also transferred to my income account, honey. Later can be checked in the transaction list."

"Is the apartment empty now?"

"I've been asking not to rent since last month. I'm remodeling to make it look new. Let's just love Ale and be comfortable there. We can go there later, see the renovations."

"Do we want to live there, Mom?"

Rendra shakes. "Of course not, honey. The apartment is only studio type, rich room cost is only more relieved. We can sleep there sometimes if we want. The view from the room is also good, honey."

"Everything else you've hidden from me other than the apartment?" Dita glanced at Rendra fiercely.

"For God's sake, there's no more, dear. That's the only apartment I haven't told you about, the others don't exist."

"There really is nothing else?"

"Yes, Honey. I'm sorry I just told you."

"I have to thank Mbak Sekar because Mas is being honest about the apartment" said Dita.

"Darling, I'm sorry. I've said everything, too. Don't be angry again, yes," Rendra pleaded.

"I don't care if you want to buy an apartment as long as there is money, but I don't like why you're not honest from the beginning."

"Yes, I was wrong about not being honest, honey. But I explained everything. Baby doesn't want to forgive me."

"Did mom know about this?"

Rendra shakes. "Mama doesn't know either. Only me and my friends know about this."

"What if you know you bought an apartment?"

Dita took a long breath. "Tomorrow rent again his apartment, Mas," he said.

"It's a shame we don't want to sleep there every once in a while." Rendra looked at his wife.

Dita raises both her shoulders. "Come, Mum."

"Let's see yes, all of you shy away from the woman. If you don't like it there, I'll rent it again."

"Whatever, Mas, just."

They finally arrived at the hotplate shop. Rendra gets out of the car and orders food, while Dita stays in the car with Ale.

"Oekkk, ohkk." Ale cried as soon as he woke up from his sleep. It just so happened that it was time for her to drink milk.

"Ssshhhh, why is Ale crying? Ale thirsty huh, son." Dita takes the apron to breastfeed, then wears it. He immediately opened the front of the game. Since she was pregnant, she always wore a robe with a zipper or buttons on the front to make it easier to breastfeed Ale.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim" Dita said before pointing the top of her chest at Ale's tiny mouth.

Calmly Ale suckled despite being covered in apron. Dita looked at her son lovingly from the gap of the upper apron. In his heart he was grateful for all the blessings God had given him.

At a young age, he married Rendra who from the beginning of marriage until now continues to show his love. He also had two sons, though Akhtar was called his owner before he was born. Of the many women who want to get pregnant and have children, she is not at all difficult to get pregnant. That he should be grateful for.

While nodding the loincloth, he patted Ale's butt gently. He smiled widely whenever Ale opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Ale's up, honey?" ask Rendra, who got back in the car.

"Yes, that was crying for a moment. He knew it was time to drink milk. Once you wake up, you can't wait to drink milk so keep crying." Dita chuckles.

"Have the food been delivered, Mom?" asked Dita who did not see her husband carrying any parcels when he got into the car.

"It has. I told Adel that we still have a show so send it through the bulge."

"It's important to watch, Mas. Still looks not?"

"I didn't see it, honey. But just to be careful we don't go straight home. So are we going to the apartment?"

"I'll come along, Mas. But, what kind of Ale equipment?"

"God willing, safe. The equipment from waking to sleeping is all."

"Well, Baba's cool, kid. Already prepared all Ale's needs. Thank you, Baba."

Rendra smiled broadly. "Together, Bubu, Ale."

Suddenly Rendra's device rang. On the screen there is the inscription 'Mas Adi'.

"Please pick up, honey." Rendra gave up her dress.

Dita received Rendra's device. He then swiped the green button to receive the call. He also activated the loud speaker so that the two of them could hear Adi's voice.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas," greetings Dita.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Deck. Where else?"

"On the road, Mas. This is Mas Rendra just driving the car so I'll pick up."

"That's okay, Deck. Adel told you that the food was sent using ojol, why is it?" ask Adi curious.

"So I was the same Mas Rendra did not accidentally meet Mbak Sekar at lunch, Mas."

"Continue?"

"Mbak Sekar nyapa me. Those niceties. But because we were cuekin, he got angry. Mas Rendra said, Mbak Sekar's kaya was following us. That's why we can't go straight home" explained Dita.

"Astaghfirullah, what the hell is he doing." Adi sounded annoyed.

"So he said he wanted a friendship, but did not know what the real intention was."

"It's good that you avoid. Don't let Adel know about this. He would be angry if he knew and suspected me."

"Abself indeed becomes suspicious now, Mas?"

"He's suspicious, jealous, sensitive" Adi lamented.

"Happy to be a standby husband, Mas" Rendra chuckled.

"Medek you, Rend."

Rendra laughed at the words of his sister-in-law. "I feel you (i understand your feelings), Mas," she replied.

"Cubitin your husband, Deck."

"So, don't want to. It's good that my husband wants to be pinched."

"Yes, whose husband is guarded. Yeah, the Deck. I close first, go to the project and go home."

"Okay, Mas."

"Thank you for buying Adel food and avoiding Sekar."

"Ih, rich as anyone, Mom."

"We should thank anyone who's been kind to us, Dek. No matter who it is."

"Yes, Mum."

After saying hello, Adi hung up the phone. Dita put Rendra's device in the dashbord.

Without feeling, they have entered the courtyard of the intended apartment complex. After parking the car, Rendra pulled out all of Ale's gear. While Dita held Ale who was still breastfeeding.

Rendra reported to the security department about the purpose of his arrival. Because he has only been there a few times so the security is still not so memorized. He also introduced Dita to them.

After reporting, they headed to the elevator which would take them to the floor where the apartment was located.

Rendra pressed the passcode on the door after arriving in front of his apartment unit. As soon as the key was open, he opened the door.

"Welcome to our apartment, dear."

"Assalamualaikum," said Dita so step foot into the apartment. It has become a habit, every entry into the house anyone always says hello.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied Rendra.

"Where? Honey likes?" Rendra waited for the reaction of the wife who was still looking at the contents of the apartment.

Dita nodding. "Lumayan too, Mas. This is exclusive boarding."

Rendra smiled with relief. At least Dita likes the atmosphere.

"Can the curtains be opened, Mas?" dita Pinta.

Rendra also opened a curtain that closed the glass window of the apartment. Now they can see the scenery with the background of Mount Merapi.

"God willing, beautiful scenery" praised Dita.

Rendra smiled broadly at the wife's praise.

"What if we stayed here sometimes, honey?"

"We'll see Ale's comfortable here. If he's comfortable, we can come here occasionally. If not, rent it out, Mom."

"If we don't wear it instead of renting it out, dear? Let this room not be empty. Room if it's too long empty can be occupied by other creatures."

"Whatever, Mom, just. Mas, please take this apron off, I want to breastfeed Ale while lying down. This is the mistress."

Rendra helps Dita remove the nursing apron. After that, Dita removed her hijab. Slowly, he took off the peak of his chest from Ale's lips which instantly made Ale cry loudly.

"Step, Son. We lie down to make it better. Ale was also satisfied drinking his milk."
