Happiness Does Not Have to be Rich
Greetings at the home of in-laws

Zahra sat next to her sleeping son. The husband was taking care of the rice fields that were damaged by Jefri. Zahra has also received compensation for the treatment costs of Agus and Cahyo at home.

" Assalamu'alaikum, Mother." Azzam went into the house with sweat pouring down.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, have you gone home?"

" Yes, not yet praying zuhur. Ashar will return to the fields."

" Want to eat first or take a shower...?"

" Bath first, Dek. I missed prayer time."

" Just sit in front of the fan so that the sweat is gone and take a shower."

" Yes, Deck. Rama's sleeping...?"

" Yes, it was fed straight to sleep."

Zahra followed the steps of her husband who moved the seat in front of the fan so that his sweat quickly disappeared.

" Why the hell, Dek? From earlier do not follow Mas continue, ask for rations?" goda Azzam's.

" Hhh... That's what's on your mind, Mom!" murmur Zahra.

" Haha... Just kidding, baby. But if you ask for the truth, I love you, whatever you want is definitely given."

" Related...?"

" Have you resisted all this time?"

Zahra looked at her husband's tired face. His white skin looks reddish due to exposure to the sun.

" Will I go to Bali...?"

" So, Deck. Why...? You don't want to come, do you?"

" How's Rama?"

" Take it, it's okay if Adek wants to come."

" Surely Kaivan asked us to go to Jakarta, Mas."

" It's impossible to cancel this show, Dek."

Zahra clasped her husband's hand with a sad look. Zahra knew her husband missed his mother a lot, only that Azzam did not want to be away from his wife's child.

" We're still going to Bali, Mas. It's just that Kaivan asked Rama to be left in Jakarta alone to be closer to his grandparents."

" But, Deck_..."

" We leave Friday afternoon. Can stay at Papa's house before going to Bali."

" Okay, I hope Rama doesn't fuss with Kaivan."

" Oh yeah, take a shower. Adek ready food first while waiting for Mas finished bathing and praying."

" Not coming, Dek?"

" Where...?"

" Bath, we haven't had a bath together in a long time."

" Don't be weird - you freak, Mum!"

Zahra kept her body away from the husband who always pricked her. She immediately ran to the kitchen to prepare food before her husband actually pulled her into the bathroom.

Friday as agreed by the two, this afternoon Azzam and his wife were escorted by Rayyan to the airport. Rayyan will follow Saturday afternoon directly to Bali because there is still a lot of work to be completed.

" Dek, Kaivan can really take care of Rama, right?" azzam asked when they were on the plane.

" God willing, Mas. Let Mama and Papa also be closer to her grandson. Rama has never been close to his grandparents since birth."

" Thank you, baby. You're ready to accept my family."

" When haven't I accepted your family?"

" Mmm_..."

" Once it is, Adek wants to sleep. Take care of Rama, don't let him fuss."

" Yes, honey. Sleep comfortably, and wake up when you get there."

Zahra spread her head over her husband's shoulder while gently rubbing his son's cheek. Rama who did not want to sleep, struggling to see the view outside the plane.

" Deck, the sleep moved for a while. Rama wanted to stand by the window." whispered Azzam.

" Hm... Don't want to," said Zahra.

" dear... Just a moment, if Rama nangis bothered later." persuaded Azzam.

" Yes... Aye! But later at Rama's house he slept with Kaivan. You can't be far from Adek."

Azzam gently rubbed his wife's head wrapped in a black hijab that made her look very beautiful.

Rama chatted about what he was talking about when he saw the view outside the plane. Azzam could only smile at his happy looking son.

The journey, which only takes no more than an hour, finally makes Zahra have to wake up from her sleep. The plane will land shortly so all passengers will have to put their seat belts on.

" Can you put it on yourself, baby?" ask Azzam.

" Can, Mas." replied Zahra briefly.

After the plane landed, Azzam immediately took his son and wife out of the airport to look for a taxi.

" Well, Azzam...!"

Azzam and Zahra looked around to find the source of the sound. They looked back and found Kaivan waving his hand.

" Dad, Um...!" shouted Rama.

" Oh yes, that's Om Kaivan." said Azzam.

" Let's go home, Papa and Mama are waiting at home" Kaivan said.

" You know we're here by this hour, Kai?" ask Azzam.

" Sister-in-law asked to pick me up." replied Kaivan.

Zahra was just grinning while writhing spoiled in her husband's arms. He also handed the backpack containing his and Rama's clothes to Kaivan. Azzam did not bring a change of clothes because in his house his clothes were very much.

" The world is now turned upside down. Yesterday I became a master, now a maid." - grumbled Kaivan.

" Not a maid, Kai. But a sister's sign of service to her brother." said Zahra.

They returned home to the Al Farizy family with a very lively reception. It turns out Kaivan invited the entire Al Farizy extended family to welcome the arrival of the son-in-law and grandson of Mr. Zaid Al Farizy.

" Welcome, Zahra." - Ogre Mr. Zaid, gently stroking Zahra's head.

Not only Zahra, Azzam was also surprised because there was an event at home and Kaivan did not tell him.

" Papa_.." - Lirih Zahra.

" Here, son." said Mama Rahma with a warm smile.

Zahra approached her mother-in-law and knelt before her as she sat in a wheelchair. Mama Rahma hugged her daughter-in-law tightly with sincere affection.

" You've helped Mama twice, now you've fulfilled your promise to bring Azzam home. Mama wants to ask you one more request." said Mama Rahma.

" What does Mama want? Had Zahra been able, Zahra would have given it."

" Is that true, son?"

" God willing, Ma."

" Just one request Mama, come home to this house. Now this house is yours too. You're family in this house, Mama please don't go again."

" Yes, Ma. Zahra will definitely come back here" said Zahra slowly.

Mama Rahma hugged her daughter-in-law again with tears flowing. The happiness in his heart was radiating on his face.

" Azzam... You don't want to hug Mama?" mama Rahma said looking at Azzam who had been silent.

" Mm... What is this show, Ma?" lirih Azzam's.

" Just round up our extended family to welcome the new family into this house. Mama hope you don't mind if Mama and Papa want to introduce your wife to our brothers."

" Azzam doesn't mind, Ma. But what about Zahra? Azzam was afraid that Zahra would feel awkward about this sudden event."

Mama Rahma looked at Zahra with a face made sad and fondly. He hopes his son-in-law doesn't mind his welcome tonight.

" As long as Mama and Papa are happy, Zahra won't mind" Zahra said with a sincere smile.

" Thank you, baby. Mama was not wrong to tell Azzam to marry you." said Mama Rahma.

" Mama_...!" azzam Tegur.

" It's okay, Zahra already knows if you've seen it while helping Mama in Jogja at that time."

Azzam smiled shyly at his wife who seemed unwilling to look at him. It turns out that all this time Zahra had known if the graduation incident at that time was her work.

" Azzam... You greet the guests and introduce your wife's children to them." said Mr. Zaid.

" Yes, Pa. Come on baby, where's Rama?"

Zahra and Azzam did not realize that Rama had not been with them. They circled their gaze throughout the room and saw Kaivan going around introducing Rama to the Al Farizy extended family.
