On the way home after buying our engagement and wedding rings, I never stopped thinking about Riky's attitude when I met her at the restaurant.
'What did he really want to say?. 'My inner self is trying to find answers in my brain.
" Fifi what are you thinking? Are you all right?. " Zafin's attention immediately roused me from daydreaming. I turned to him and nodded my head in a sign that I was okay, while Zafin just sighed with my answer.
" Oh yes, may I know what your real name is on your birth certificate? Because just like me you must also use a short name from your real name so that others are easier to know and call you, right?. " Said Zafin while looking at me.
" Well that's right, my real name is Nafisha Atnar Yatwi. Because the name was too long so I used my parents' nicknames and my last name. " My answer is short.
" What about your own name?. " I asked him back so that the atmosphere would not come back awkward, to be honest I pity to see the driver driving in the front seat because it seemed like he was feeling depressed by our silence.
" Zafinkar Malik Ahmeer. Your name is so beautiful, who gave you that name?. " Zafin praised me still with a sweet smile on his lips that made me sometimes a little stunned when he looked at her.
" It was my grandfather's gift. " I answered while looking away at the car window.
" Oh yeah, our engagement is only 2 days away but I don't know about your parents? Are they coming?. " I tried to dare to express what I had been holding in my heart.
" Tomorrow you'll know, come with me to pick them up at the airport tomorrow morning. " Take Zafin
" All right, it's up to you. " I replied resigned.Zafin also drove me home like he promised Father and Mother then he said goodbye to my parents and went back to his house.

The next morning as Zafin said yesterday, he took me to the airport to pick up his parents. We waited in the waiting room for the international arrival. Well I didn't know that Zafin's parents lived abroad because Zafin was only Hamida's grandmother.
" That's them!. " Zafin stood up from his place while pointing at a middle-aged man who was pushing the trunk of his luggage with a woman who was none other than his wife.
" Ashalamualaikum Pa... Ma's... " Zafin approached his parents and kissed their hands in turn, followed by me.
" Is he the future daughter-in-law of Mama Darling?. " Task Mama Zafin while holding my cheek. I smiled kindly at him too.
" lt... Ma.. He is Fifi, he is the future son-in-law of Papa and Mama. " Zafin introduced me to his parents with pride.
" How are your Uncle and Aunt doing, are you enjoying the ride?. " I said try to make a good first impression on both of them.
" Thank God, we're healthy, baby. " Mama Zafin answered me with her hands still stroking my cheeks, either because I'm beautiful or because I'm about to become her daughter-in-law.
After we had enough conversation, Zafin immediately invited Papa and his mother to go to his house because it seemed like the two old men were very tired after traveling long distances using an airplane, I admit, they both look very young. Even I myself was surprised at the airport earlier when they approached because both the face of Mama Zafin and Papa Zafin was still like a 25-year-old person.
After Zafin put his parents' belongings into the room, we sat together in the living room. This is the first time I went to Zafin's house and my eyes could not stop staring at the entire corner of the room where all the furniture was arranged in such a way that the alignment of the interior design that cools the eyes.
" Dear Fifi, tonight invite your parents to dinner together, we can also talk about your wedding date. " Said Mama Zafin while holding both my hands.
" absolutely. " I answered while throwing a smile at Mama Zafin who was sitting next to me.
" How was your meeting with Zafin, Fifi?. " Papa Zafin's question shocked me to the point of running out of words.
'What should I say?'Inner me worries.
" Ahem... Papa I need to get back to the company now, I'll also drive Fifi home. " Once again Zafin helped me out of a situation like that.
After I said goodbye to Papa and Mama Zafin, we left the yard of Zafin's house. During the journey as usual the atmosphere became very quiet, no one opened his voice to speak either Me or Zafin.
" Sorry... "
" Sorry... "
We apologized at the same time, it took us by surprise, but Zafin laughed at our attitude.
" I'm sorry I always put you in a situation like that. " Zafin continued his words after he stopped laughing.
" No, I'm also sorry that I was never able to answer in such a situation so it always troubles you. " I said that I felt guilty about the silence of a thousand languages. Zafin glanced at me then turned his gaze towards the highway.
" Forgot it. " Said short.
***
While Papa and Mama Zafin felt a little suspicious of my attitude and also Zafin earlier.
" Dear, don't you feel like there's something our son is hiding?. " Papa Zafin said with a frown.
" You're right, my husband, I think I should talk to the boy later. " Said Mama Zafin who also suspected me when asked by her Papa Zafin earlier.
