Saturday afternoon~

Papa Dafa's arrival was beyond estimation. Dafa thought his papa would come after the magrib, but in fact came after the ashar prayer.

Ratih greeted her in-laws as they entered the house, Dafa and her father walked towards the living room seat, while Ratih went to the kitchen to prepare a drink.

"Well, lucky yes you get a sweet wife like him. Besides Sholeh also looks very obedient" said his papa.

"yes pa, but we still need to get to know each other." with a reassuring look to show that their marriage is fine.

"papa understood, that you married suddenly and there was no love between you yet.but do not forget, that Ratih is also your cousin.do not hurt and disappoint him. you are our only child. Train your uncle's only child. So, papa hope you won't let us down." said papa Dafa in a serious tone.

"this is pa. please drink pa." revealed Ratih who made their serious conversation stalled.

"thank you son." said Papa Dafa.

Then Ratih sat down beside Dafa.

"How's papa doing?ma'af Ratih has not met with papa" said Ratih

"yes son, papa understands. papa is also far from you. and congratulations on your marriage. May sakinah mawaddah warrahmah ya son. "his words with the tone of a very wise father figure.

" May your marriage last up to grandparents and soon be able to give cute grandchildren" he continued, which made Ratih and Dafa exchanged lyrics and felt a little guilty about what they had planned in the future and indicated that what their father said would not happen.

"good luck enjoying this holiday, son, hopefully we will soon fondle the grandchildren after this." he continued again.

"papa, we are enjoying the introductions first.we are not in a hurry pa."sela Dafa who helps Ratih who does look clumsy with the words of his father.

"all right, we will wait for the good news from you both" said their father with a very difficult look.

"please continue again pa,mas.then Train permission to go up first pa, mas." said Ratih who was a bit clumsy with a serious-looking atmosphere. Dafa stared flatly as his father-in-law stared with a smile.

"there is no need to hesitate son Ratih. papa just ask you about the news. please continue his activities. Papa still has something to talk about with Dafa."reply his father-in-law who allowed Ratih to stay away from them.

Ratih walk to the room to be occupied with her legal husband.of course this will be a very long night. does not mean they behave like husband and wife in general. but more like a stranger so the atmosphere will feel strange and awkward for both of them.

"So, how is your relationship with Ratih Dafa?" ask the papa to the point.

"so far we are still in the introductory stage pa. still adjusting each other, including the obedient wife" he said slightly giving praise to Ratih. so that his father is not suspicious of what really happened with his household.

"thankfully you accepted this marriage, papa hope you really have this marriage and only made Ratih your only wife, son."reply his papa with words full of emphasis because his papa knows the condition of his child's marriage.

"yes pa, inshaaAllah if we are fooled" said Dafa with a little uneasy at the words of his father who wanted Ratih to be his only wife.

"ohya you're still in touch with Sofia?" ask papa.

"mmmh.."
