Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 27

Arin came out of his room wearing a hijab that was currently perched on his head. Yes, after moving to Tubansari, Arin had to learn to change appearance.

Arin could no longer shake her hair like before. Slowly, the woman learned to close the aurat by wearing a hijab, even though she actually objected.

"So bright," murmured Arin felt hot because of the long clothes he was wearing in broad daylight.

The woman was really uncomfortable. But it is also impossible for Arin to release his hijab. Arin is ashamed not to wear the hijab. Given that everyone in his neighborhood lives today wearing a hijab, he must also immediately adjust his appearance.

Huda himself also asked Arin to start learning to wear the hijab. However, for only two days wearing it, Arin was really tight and felt not at home.

"Pig!" The sound of Riski's screams made Arin immediately rise from his stool to welcome the husband.

The woman immediately forgot the sultry feeling that was currently tormenting her, and turned her attention to the husband who had just come with many hands. "Why is Riski doing it with Umi?" greet Huda to the son.

"Aren't you home, Mom?" ask Arin while approaching Huda and kiss the back of her husband's hand that just came home.

"So just nganterin Abi for a second. Bring something for you" cried Huda.

Huda brought a lot of snacks and cold drinks. The man sat down with his wife's child and spent some time relaxing on the hot day.

"Buy a lot of ice!" exclaim Arin excited.

Huda threw a faint smile. The man deliberately wanted to bring a lot of food for Arin.

"The weather is hot again. You must want a seger-seger," exclaimed Huda.

Arin and Riski gobbled up the snacks that Huda had taken with him. Sometimes Huda laughed a little while rubbing the head of the wife who was very minimal was covered with hijab.

"Why laugh, Mom?" ask Arin.

"You ate it so well. Your cheeks are as rich as Riski's, '" said Huda.

Arin panicked and tried to rub her lips with the back of her hand. "Masa' is a straw? Usually, I never eat ice cream," Arin murmured, making Huda even more anxious.

"Where, Rin? Hijab isn't too heavy, is it?" ask Huda suddenly.

Arin immediately tidied up his veil, as soon as Huda discussed about the cloth currently perched on his head. "I'm still not used to it" cried Arin.

"Later get used to it too. You look more beautiful if you wear a hijab," praise your husband.

Arin's cheeks instantly flushed. The wayward woman who used to look uracan was forced to change appearance, after marrying a man from a family like Huda.

"I look so round. I don't feel like I'm a good fit for hijab" exclaimed Arin.

"That's just your feeling. You are fit and beautiful to wear a hijab," said Huda.

Praise from her husband made Arin more confident with her hijab. Arin will try his best to maintain his hijab and change his appearance for the better to adjust in the environment of Tubansari village.

"Riski, don't eat a lot of ice cream, yeah! After this we eat yuk fruit with Umi!" take Arin to Riski.

It is not difficult for Arin to take Riski's heart after she becomes the wife of Huda. Riski quickly gets along with Arin, and the little boy even calls Arin Umi.

"Yes, Umi!"

Every night, Riski would sleep together with Huda and Arin. Riski is not too awkward with Arin's presence and easily accepts the woman as a new mother.

"Riski, our package is coming!" exclaim Arin while showing the big box to Riski.

"This is what, Umi? Make Riski, huh?" rickshaw asked with hope.

"Umi bought a nice toy for Riski! Riski want to try it?" bring Arin.

When it turns out that the package was purchased by Arin for Riski, of course Rizki immediately greeted him with a sumringah. "Riski wants a toy! Riski wants to play now!"

"We're open now, yuk!"

Arin also opened the box of goods that he bought online. It turned out that the item that Arin bought was a small rubber pool for children.

Arin accidentally buys a pool to invite Riski to swim. Because his son has trauma about water, Arin took the initiative to help Rizki treat the trauma and want to invite Riski to play using the pool.

"What's this doing, Umi?" ask Riski.

"It's water play, baby! Riski don't want to play water with Umi?" bring Arin.

Riski was silent for a moment. Since the little boy was indeed afraid of water and did not want to do anything related to water, of course Riski refused.

"Riski wants a robot toy! Robot toys are more exciting!" timpal Risky.

"Water toys are also fun, too! Riski wants to, right? Later on with Umi. Riski is calm. Let's try the pool together, shall we?"

Arin immediately found a place to put the pool and fill it with water. Arin also did not fill the pool until it was full.

Arin just fills the water up to as high as an adult calf. Arin believes a small rubber pool like this will not harm Riski and can be used to help Riski treat the trauma.

"Riski really don't want to try? Seger water, loh! The pool is shallow too. Here in!" talk Arin to Riski.

Riski just stood still and looked at Arin who had entered the pool. "Riski don't want to play water! Riski wants to play in the car!" riski still refused. The little boy looked scared.

"The water is not deep. Riski really don't want to try?"

Arin continued to try to persuade his son to enter the pool. After getting tired of babbling, finally Riski was curious and wanted to go into the pool with him.

"That's okay, right? Do you want to soak in the pool?" cetus Arin's.

Riski began to enjoy playing in the pool. Arin was truly grateful and felt his plan went smoothly.

The woman plans to leave Riski to spend time alone in the pool. "Riski, Umi go to the toilet for a second!" pamit Arin on Riski.

Riski just nodded and let her mother go. The little boy was still busying himself inside the pond, while Arin hid behind and observed Riski for a moment from a distance.

"Riski's fine, right? I think the trauma can be cured," cried Arin confidently.

The woman busied herself behind for a moment without watching Riski play alone in the water. After stalling for a long time, Arin decided to look at Riski's situation.

"Riski, Umi bring you a cold drink!" exclaim Arin while carrying two bottles of drinks for Riski.

But Arin's steps stopped and his heart almost dislodged as soon as he saw Riski. His eyes were round wide, staring at Riski who was currently in the water and drowned in the shallow rubber pool.

"RISSY!"
