Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 43

Early in the morning, Huda, Arin, and several other volunteers seemed busy getting ready to leave Moyudan Village. Yes, they have finished their volunteer duties and will return to the village of Tubansari. Huda will return home with his wife, after he completes his last assignment as a volunteer at the refugee camp.

After the handover ceremony was completed, Huda and other volunteers immediately say goodbye to the residents and other volunteers who are still on duty there. Arin was really relieved, finally he was able to return home together with his husband and continue his normal life as usual.

During the trip, Huda and Arin do not talk much until they get home. "Mas Huda why the hell from yesterday cuekin I keep? Is he still mad at me?" batin Arin still thinks nothing of her husband.

Of course Arin wants to be treated differently from others, considering she is the wife of Huda. But unfortunately Huda is normal with Arin and does not give special treatment, even though they have left the volunteer camp.

Although Arin was a bit upset with Huda's attitude that was indifferent to him while volunteering there, but Arin was quite happy that Huda finally got separated from Novi and went home with him.

"Assynnya!" huda and Arin said as soon as they got home. Ustadz Wahab, Nyai Rosyidah and Riaki immediately came out and welcomed the return of Huda and Arin.

"Pig!" Riski ran over to Huda and hugged the father who had not seen him for a long time.

"Rissy!" Not only Riski who is excited to be reunited with her father, but Huda also looks excited and hugs Riski tightly to let go of longing.

"Riski misses Abi!" riski said to Huda.

Huda smiled and hugged his little son again. "Abi is also very confused with Riski!" huda Sahut.

Not only welcoming and hugging Huda, Riski also approached Arin and hugged her mother. "Umi why didn't Riski start Abi?" riski protests against Arin fleeing from home to follow Huda to Moyudan Village.

Arin just smiled without being able to answer the babble of his son. Not only Riski who protested, Nyai Rosyidah and Ustadz Wahab also worried when Arin disappeared.

"Come on, let's go everywhere! Why didn't you tell me you wanted to go after Huda?" nyai Rosyidah's. "Thank God you are fine and have come home with your husband now" he continued.

Ustadz Wahab shook his head at the desperate actions of his son-in-law just to find out about Huda. Arin can only show the grin of a horse in front of her in-laws who are worried about her.

They are no longer concerned about Arin's disappearance. They were grateful enough that his daughter-in-law was back in good health and safe together with Huda.

"Next time don't repeat, huh? You make Umi the same Abi panic nyariin you!" nyai Rosyidah.

"Yes, Umi. Arin apologizes" said Arin.

"You must be tired, right? Here go on break. Umi has cooked a lot," said Nyai Rosyidah.

"Let's eat more, Arin! You eat it very little" commented Nyai Rosyidah to the daughter-in-law as she enjoyed dinner with the family.

"Arin is full, Umi" said Arin. "Will Riski eat again?"

"Rissy wants milk!" chirps Riski.

After enjoying dinner, Arin and Riski enter the room and play together until the night begins to dissolve. Shortly afterwards, Huda also entered the room and busied himself without disturbing his wife and children who were playing.

"Mas, can I talk to you for a second?" tanya Arin finally ventured to open her voice.

Huda stopped his activities for a moment, then turned to look at his wife. "Why, Rin?" ask Huda.

Arin plays his fingers before he starts talking again. The woman seemed to want to ask Huda for something.

"What do you want to say? Tell me," said Huda.

"Mas still wants to keep his promise, right? Before Mas went to Moyudan Village, Mas promised after returning home later I would take Riski to go on vacation," said Arin. "So when can we go on vacation?"

It turns out that Arin was about to collect the promise of Huda who had said that he would take Arin and Riski to go on vacation, after he completed the task as a volunteer in Moyudan Village. Arin had waited a long time to collect the promise. After they returned home from Moyudan Village, of course Arin did not want to delay any longer the vacation plan he had made with Huda before.

"Vacation? Riski's on vacation too!" Riski, who overheard Arin and Huda's words, chimed in and urged Huda to take her on vacation.

"We're back from Moyudan Village now. I won't break my promise, will I?" ask Arin.

Huda is attacked by two sides at once. His wife and son were both whining for the holiday he had promised.

Huda threw a smile at his wife and son. "Mas did not forget the promise. I'll take you on vacation together" exclaimed Huda.

"But give me time, huh? I have to check the shop first. Kan Mas has been around for a while as long as Mas is in Moyudan Village" continued Huda.

"How long, Mom?" ask Arin.

"Many have to check in the store, so it takes a few days. But Mas will try to manage the store as soon as possible," said Huda asked for understanding from Arin.

"Come on, we're leaving tomorrow! We're having a picnic tomorrow!" take Riski also can't wait for the holiday promised by the father.

"Patience first, Riski? Abi still has a job at the store. Later when Abi's payday is finished, Abi will immediately take Riski with Umi to picnic together!" said Huda.

"Yes, my mom? Don't take too long to run the shop!" said Arin.

"Mas promised, once Mas's business at the store is done, Mas will take you guys away."

Huda's words were immediately greeted by cheers from Arin and Riski. This holiday will be the first for Arin's family, after she becomes Huda's wife. This first holiday will also be a honeymoon event Arin and Huda who have not had time to spend the first night after they were married.

"Thank you, I want to make a promise" Arin said.

The happy face of his wife and child also makes Huda no less happy. "The promise won't disappoint you at our first holiday!"
