Halal Love of the Senior
The Winner

"Mas Adi, I'll help you next door." Adelia asked her husband for permission after they had tadarus of the Qur'an.

"Indeed next to what show, Ai? Why don't I be told there's an event." Adi frowned.

"There's no show at all, Mas. But certainly next to many guests because tomorrow Aunt Goddess departed umrah," explained Adelia while removing her mucus.

"Oh, I guess there's another show. Sure, but there are conditions." Adi plays her eyebrows up and down.

"Oh my goodness, my. It was last night. This is my hair still wet." Adelia showed me her hair that was not dry.

"Indeed Ai knows what the conditions are?" Adi squeaks at his wife.

"Mmmhhh, a rice field plow isn't it?" guess Adelia grimacing.

"Why did Ai think of that? Don't you think Ai still wants to." Adi started teasing his wife.

"What apaan, Mas Adi. No, no." Adelia dodged her husband's accusations.

Adi laughed at his wife who was embarrassed because she had misjudged the terms. He scrambled his wife's ever-smelling long hair.

"Mas, my hair is this messy," protested Adelia with pursed lips.

"Here, I'm really." Adi reached out her hand again, but Adelia managed to dodge. Not that the hair is getting tidy, it must be more ruffled again with Adi.

"Mas Adi, it's already ah the joke." Adelia looked at her husband's annoyance.

Adi laughed again. He then got up from his seat, went to the room to change house clothes.

Meanwhile Adelia hung her face in the prayer room, then followed her husband to the room.

"Mas Adi, so what's the condition?" Adelia was still curious. She hung up Adi's clothes, which her husband had just removed, to wear again later for prayers.

"Do you know what you want to know?" Adi again teased his wife.

"Mas Adi long ago mengeselin ih," grumbled Adelia.

"Ngeselin what's ngangenin?" Adi approached his wife with a flirtatious smile.

"Taukkk." Adelia decided to get out of the room instead of responding to her husband. He went to the kitchen to cook their breakfast this morning.

Coincidentally there is still rice leftover yesterday, Adelia decided to make fried rice only for their breakfast. Not to forget she prepared hot sweet tea for her husband.

"What are you cooking, Ai?" Adi suddenly appears and hugs Adelia from behind.

"Astaghfirullah's. Mas Adi, just ngagetin. Good thing my hand didn't get a knife" protested Adelia who was slicing a red onion.

"Sorry, Ai. You were so serious, you didn't even realize I was here." Adi put his head on Adelia's right shoulder.

"Ai, want to cook fried rice yes," guess Adi later, because he saw the spices prepared by his wife.

"Yes, Mas. Is it okay to have breakfast with fried rice?"

"It's okay, Ai. I am an all-eater. Whatever Ai's cooking, I'd love."

"How much chili do you want to wear, Mas?" asked Adelia who was ready to slice the red cayenne pepper.

"Two, Ai. Don't much. By the way, what can I do for you?"

"Just sit down, enjoy the tea."

"I made her omelet, yeah, Ai." Adi offered his wife help. Adi does like to eat fried rice with eggs topped with chives.

"Terserusah Mas Adi only. But I haven't done the vegetables and the eggs, Mas."

"Let me prepare it myself. Ai, focus on making fried rice." Adi then broke his embrace. He took the eggs and chives out of the refrigerator.

They were both busy in the kitchen with their own activities. Adelia cooks fried rice, while Adi cooks an omelet. After all was cooked, Adelia served it on the dining table. They then had breakfast together.

"Ai, later if you want to help next door do not get tired yes," said Adi.

"Who knew there had been results from the honeymoon yesterday" he continued.

"Yes, Mas. Later mom and dad would like to go to the house of Aunt Goddess. Don't you and Mom want to come here, too?"

"Yes, but maybe you're the same mother here in the afternoon. This afternoon I want to meet first he said."

"Staying here, aren't you the same mother, Mas?" Adelia looked at her husband.

"Yes, Ai. Tomorrow's dawn they're just home."

"Then I will prepare the room of the father and mother before going next door" said Adelia.

"Not too early next door. At most guests also come over at 9, Ai."

"Yes, Mas. I finished my housework together to serve the needs of my husband," said Adelia while glancing at Adi.

"My wife is salihah, besides being beautiful and good," praised Adi who made Adelia blush embarrassed.

...---oOo---...

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam." Rendra gasped as she opened the door of the house. There was an Emperor and Tirta at the door. Although he still felt a little jealous of the Emperor but he should still be friendly.

"Please enter, Mas Emperor, Ma'am Tirta. Want to see Shasha?" asked Rendra when he invited the brothers into the living room.

"You meet Aunt Dewi and all who want to umrah" Tirta replied with a smile.

"Please sit down first. I called my mom and the others." Rendra left the Emperor and Tirta in the living room.

"Mas Kai, don't try to approach Dita again right?" tirta asked in a whisper.

Emperor frowning. He looked at his sister. "What do you mean I'm calling her, Dek?"

"The end of the rich Rendra does not like to see Mas here," Tirta explained while whispering.

"She's just as jealous of me, Dek. I never even talked to his wife."

"But really jealous, Mas," ledek Tirta.

"Ask Rendra yourself if you want to know why" said the Emperor.

Tirta sneered at her brother. How could he ask such a thing to Rendra. There was just her brother.

"Eh, Mas Kai, Tata," Shasha said kindly. He shook hands with the Emperor and then cipika cipiki with Tirta.

"I'm sorry I waited so long" said Shasha, sitting in front of them.

"It's okay, Sha, rich as anyone," replied Tirta.

"Eh, there's a distant guest turned out." Mother Goddess walked into the living room with a friendly smile.

"Tante could have been," said Tirta who immediately stood up and greeted the Mother Goddess, as well as the Emperor.

"How are you, Tirta? Long time no play here."

"Thank God be good, Aunt. Yes Aunt, I am busy working. But now he is here" replied Tirta.

"Thank God, Auntie is happy to see you again. Play often when there is time."

"God willing, Aunt."

"Nisa just took a shower, Ma. If Rendra just help Dita dry clothes," explained Shasha.

"Try calling them again, Sha," Mother Goddess said.

"Yes, Ma. I'll stay a while, Ta, Mas Kai." Shasha moved from her seat to call her sisters.

"Son Kai, this is the one who helped Mas Adi's case yesterday?" ask the Goddess Mother to the Emperor.

"Yes, Aunt. I am only following the monitor because it is not my unit" replied the Emperor.

"How is the case going?"

"The trial's still running, Auntie. Maybe soon the verdict is that everyone has testified."

"May his punishment be commensurate with his actions. Aunty pity Adelia and Adi, newly married but got such a test. Fortunately Adi is not okay," said Mother Goddess.

"Aamiinu. Yes, Aunt. Thankfully, God is still protecting Adi" said the Emperor.

"Oh, who's Mas Kai and who's mom?" dita asked kindly as soon as she entered the living room with Rendra's partner.

"I'm Tirta, Shasha's college friend." Tirta introduced herself to Dita. They also shake hands. Earlier, when greeting the Emperor, Dita did not shake hands just sing a smile so that her husband was not jealous.

"I'm Dita, Ma'am Tirta. His wife Mas Rendra." Dita returned a friendly smile.

"Greetings yes, Dita. Uh, you're pregnant, aren't you?" tanya Tirta who saw the baby bump Dita.

"Yes, Mother. Thank God it's been 5 months." Dita stroked her stomach. He sat down next to the Goddess Mother. Of course Rendra sat beside him hugging his shoulders and holding Dita's hand.

"Can you umrah while pregnant?" ask Tirta again.

"By, the origin of the mother and fetus is healthy, Ma'am. It's already in the second trimester. God willing, it is safe to travel far," said Dita.

"Actually our plans umrah later this year. Thank God, Dita was given the mandate to get pregnant again, and hpl her late December. So rather than postponed it was finally brought forward after consultation with his obstetrician. Mumpung Aunty is also still healthy," said Mother Goddess.

The Emperor and Tirta nodded their heads after hearing the words of the Mother Goddess.

"Tante Dewi Mah from the past did not change, still healthy, beautiful and youthful," praised Tirta.

"Alhamdulillah at the age of aunty who is no longer young is still given health. Soon also become this grandmother," joked Mother Goddess.

"Grandma's beautiful, Aunt." Tirta replied to Mother Goddess's joke.

"Mas Emperor, Ma'am Tirta, please drink." Nisa placed two glasses of iced syrup on the table, in front of the Emperor and Tirta.

"Thank you, Nis. So even troublesome this," said Tirta.

"It's just water with syrup, Ta" Shasha said.

"Come, Mas Kai is drunk. It's another holiday, Mommy?" shasha asked the Emperor.

"Yes. Last morning came home, took a short nap, and Tirta brought him here" replied the Emperor.

"Not wrong, Mom. It was me who wanted to come." Tirta frowned at her brother.

The Emperor elbowed Tirta's arm so as not to divulge the truth.

Shasha gave a small laugh looking at the behavior of the two brothers in front of her.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Adelia from the door with her mother and father.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," reply to everything in the living room.

"Let's go in Mr. Lukman, Sarah's mother, Adelia," welcome Mother Goddess who is always friendly to everyone.

"Sha, Mas Kaisar Sama Tirta will be invited into it," said Mother Goddess.

"Yes, Ma."

"Eh, there's the Emperor. Stop by the house first yes later, Mas Adi is at home really," Adelia told the Emperor.

"Okay, I'll stop by" replied the Emperor.

Mr. Lukman and Ms. Sarah greet everyone who is there. After briefly making small talk and expressing the intention of his arrival, they said goodbye because they had to attend some invitations today.

Shortly after, Arjuna came alone.

"Mas Juna, what's the matter here?" asked Adelia who was surprised to see her cousin's sister at the Mother Goddess' house.

"I can't really come here. I would also like a prayer," replied Arjuna casually.

"Maybe, Nak Juna." The Goddess Mother smiled at Arjuna.

"Thank God, thank you, Auntie. Introduce me Arjuna, senior Shasha and Tirta on campus." Arjuna officially introduced himself to the Mother Goddess family who was gathering in the living room.

"Mas Juna, meet this Nisa, my youngest sister. The two lovebirds who were sitting with their hands were Rendra, my sister and Dita, his wife." Shasha introduces the rest of her family to Arjuna.

Although Shasha and Arjuna are close, Arjuna has never come home and met his family. At the reception Adi and Adelia, they also did not have time to introduce themselves.

"Well, I smell competition here" said Nisa.

"Nisa," rebuked Mother Goddess.

"What, Ma?" ask Nisa without feeling guilty.

"Don't be careless when talking," said Mother Goddess.

"Yes, Ma." Nisa looks down, but she wants to tease Shasha. But her mother had already banned her before she started.

It was seen that Arjuna and the Emperor were racing to invite Shasha to talk and attract his attention. Shasha was overwhelmed and confused as to who to answer. They even moved to the living room to chat as guests kept coming. Sometimes Shasha leaves them to meet the guests. Fortunately there are Adelia and Tirta who help entertain guests.

Arjuna came home during Azan Zuhur, while the Emperor went to the mosque riding a motorbike with Rendra.

"Ren, you don't need to be jealous of me" the Emperor told Rendra as they left for the mosque.

"Who said I was jealous of Mas Kai?" elak Rendra's.

"We are both men, I can see from your eyes and your attitude. I did love Dita, but that was before. Now I don't expect him anymore because I see you two in love and your lives are happy too. I'm not like Restu who wants to take Adelia from Adi" said the Emperor.

"Right now, I'm trying to get close to your brother. Somehow the end of our relationship later, which is clear I feel fit and comfortable when talking to Shasha. And I'm not kidding either" continued the Emperor.

"Is Brother Shasha for the escape?" asked Rendra with a flat expression.

"Never thought of it. I have a sister. I don't want to play women because I don't want my sister to be played by men either" the Emperor replied straightforwardly.

"We will see who will be chosen by Shasha and get the blessing of my mother. It is my duty to protect and marry Shasha's sister, in place of the deceased papa. I'm not going to mess around looking after my family" Rendra said.

"Okay, we'll wait and see. We can be friends now, right?" ask Emperor.

"Yes" answered Rendra in short.

"Just calm down, I won't take Dita away from you. Even if I try, I'm sure it won't work either. Because I've always tried to get his attention, I've always failed." The Emperor laughed at himself.

Rendra smiled faintly at the Emperor's story. Indeed his wife is not a person who is easily tempted by all the attention given by the opposite sex. The proof is already Bara, Reza and also the Emperor. And he is the winner of Dita's heart.
