Susan introduced Zahra to her extended family one by one. Zahra was relieved. Zahra did not expect all of her family-in-law to welcome Zahra's presence in the family. Not what he thought all along.
Zahra initially thought the Widodo family would be the same as other prominent families. Which if you choose a prospective son-in-law will definitely consider caste and throne as in the novels he often read.
One more thing that is interesting and a surprise for Zahra, it turns out Mia is the cousin of her husband and the son of Professor Rayyan, Aziz's uncle the brother of Mr. Widodo. Zahra did not expect it turned out that he had been very close to one of the Aziz family.
Mia could talk to Aziz in the hospital. They were his cousin's brothers. The age of Mia who was one year older than Aziz was annoyed with her cousin's sister because she was married first. And the regret is increasing, it turns out Aziz married a co-worker who has been considered like a brother.
Another thing that makes Zahra happy is the welcome of Chelsie, Aziz's younger sister, who very much welcomes him with pleasure and openness. Even Chelsie did not hesitate to indulge with her. The girl who was still sitting on the high school bench seemed to be deeply in love at first sight with Zahra. Especially with Zahra's gentle nature and motherhood, Chelsie felt comfortable being near Zahra and he also felt he had an older sister as expected.
As with Zahra, with Chelsie present, Zahra felt she had a sister as she had wanted all along. Zahra, who was raised by her grandparents and om and tantenya, became the only daughter in the family. Even Zahra had once blatantly asked Cindi to give him a younger sister back then. But because of Cindi's troubled womb after Altaf's birth, Zahra's wishes were never fulfilled.
Aziz from earlier continued to pout looking at Chelsie, his only sister. He who had wanted to get close to his wife could not, there were obstacles. Everyone has a monopoly on his wife. At first her mother, continued grandmother, Mia and other families and now her sister Chelsie who continues to wrestle spoiled in the hands of Zahra.
Mia who saw Aziz's annoyed expression earlier, approached Aziz who was sitting alone in the corner of the room. He chose to isolate himself because people were focused more on his wife than he was. Aziz felt neglected by his extended family. Plus he who could not be close to his wife earlier, making Aziz feel more excluded from the family meeting.
"Hey what's wrong with my sister, why is her face pouting like this?" Mia patted Aziz on the shoulder and sat down on the empty sofa beside Aziz.
"The makeup of the newlyweds is dull like this, ugly tofu," said Mia again. Although Aziz ignored his presence, Mia did not want to lose. He keeps teasing Aziz. Mia knows Aziz's nature. Although never dating all this time, but once love and love women, then Aziz will be absolutely crazy about the woman. Because of Aziz's eleven-twelve nature with her papi in terms of liking a woman.
"So, don't nudge anyone!" sahut Aziz was upset at Mia who kept teasing him.
"You're upset yeah, because you couldn't get close to Zahra from earlier," guessed Mia who was on target.
"Do you know it again?" aziz replied annoyed and pouting.
"Haha..." Mia laughed. The shot was right and on target.
"You are old, still too late Ziz," said Mia who felt funny to see Aziz who pouted and sulked like a child whose toys were seized.
"What the hell, don't do anything, brother," said Aziz lazily.
Aziz straightened his body that had been sitting sluggish to be upright facing Mia. "Seriously," asked Aziz enthusiastically to hear Mia's answer which is very encouraging news for Aziz at this time.
Mia nodded her head while smiling.
"Nobody lied, right?" asked Aziz again who was not sure of what Mia had told him earlier.
"Yes, don't lie. Zahra herself said that in the hospital," replied Mia reassured Aziz.
"If you don't believe, ask the person directly. Ah ah, don't pout anymore. If we eat, Auntie asked me to call you to eat, everyone is waiting for us in the dining room," Mia invited Aziz to stand towards the dining table.
Aziz followed Mia who had already walked first to the dining room. Aziz saw that Zahra was already sitting at the dining table with her other extended family. Aziz was again annoyed to see the chair beside Zahra already filled by his sister Chelsie. Aziz walked towards Chelsie with his cold face.
"Hey little boy moved there, you want to sit here," Aziz asked Chelsie to move to the empty seat beside Mia.
"No one's there, Chelsie wants to be here near Brother Zahra," Chelsie refused not to move next to Mia. Chelsie asked Aziz to sit there.
"Zahra's sister's wife, so it's only natural that you sit here" Aziz refused to budge and still asked Chelsie to move.
"Don't, deck. Here sit near my brother," said Mia while persuading Chelsea to sit next to him who is still empty.
"Yes, deck. You just move there, let your brother sit there." This time Miss Susan helped persuade Chelsea who still did not want to move. While others only pay attention to the drama adek and brother who fight each other over the seat.
Chelsea poutfully forced to move next to Mia. Actually, he was not willing to move because Chelsea still want to sit near his brother-in-law. But if the mother has spoken, inevitably Chelsea must recite if not want to hear the long ramblings of the mother.
Aziz smiled happily to finally be close again to his beautiful wife. Zahra could only smile at the debate between the two brothers which looked very funny.
Zahra served Aziz wholeheartedly during her time at the dinner table, and all of that was not out of the attention of Miss Susan and Oma Minan, two middle-aged women of different generations who still look beautiful at her age who are no longer young are smiling happily. They feel they are not wrong to choose a daughter-in-law.
