RICH MAN
INVITATION

Upon arrival at the house of in-laws, he was greeted by his two in-laws and saw his wife directly scattered into the arms of his mother making Rey feel guilty for never taking his wife home during a cravings. Even there his wife was crying so much that she missed him to both parents.

Rey who was invited in by her father-in-law also felt a little guilty for never bringing Marwa home until his wife like that.

“Udah darling don't cry!” said her mother-in-law while calming Marwa.

The first time he saw his wife crying because she met her biological parents. A lot has happened in their homes. Experiment when they just got married, until finally Marwa is pregnant and can not travel far because of her cravings that make Marwa tormented.

Now he felt much more relieved when he brought Marwa home. “Rey was very busy until his wife nangis gini first came home since pregnant,” quipped mama-in-law. Rey grinned and could no longer say anything.

“Sorry yes, Ma,”

“Other times go home often! Mama misses Mama's only child. I guess you don't understand Rey until Mama and Papa you samperin to your parents' house,”

“I try not to be like now, Ma. Because now also mepet really yes, suddenly want to move with Marwa. I'm the same Marwa nginapnya tonight just,”

“Loh didn't you guys stay at the parents' house first?”

“Ngak Ma. Rey had bought a house, this morning until noon we both went there to see to what stage they cleaned it. Tomorrow begins to move her things. It's actually starting to move, Ma. But it can't be done one day, right,”

Her mother-in-law nodded slowly. “But, Rey. Didn't Mama tell you to take your parents for dinner?”

Rey patted her eel because she forgot her parents had to come too. “They're coming later tonight, Ma. Papa's not home yet. At home also his nephew Mama Gita visited.

“What does Mama say?” ask Rey. He remembers telling his parents. But the certainty of when they will come is uncertain.

“Before leaving and after Erlangga came home earlier Mama said she wanted to wait for Papa. Keep coming night he said,”

Rey smiled as she came before Magrib. The distance from her home is not too far from her home. However, Rey who is embarrassed to gather with her in-laws because of the incident first.

In the past, he had never met anyone who knew Marwa. Nine years ago, it was a time when everything started. Never thought that he would meet again with his first love and turn her into his wife. The wait is quite complicated, when Rey has to wait a long time.

They can never be together. Not because they do not want to, but because there are things that must be done first about their respective futures. God had destined them to meet in a marriage that was never expected. Rey accepts her parents' request to get married soon out of fear that she might run away in bad ways.

After the breakup, one by one Rey's dreams materialize and then stay back in the lonely times where she had to give up her love first.

It was never Rey's dream to marry a foreign woman completely unknown to her. Likewise with Marwa who he asked to tell how bravely both Rey's parents came to ask Marwa to be his wife. And there Marwa had to cry and not know again about her chaotic feelings because of being proposed by a foreign man who never even knew at all.

Rey nodded slowly, she only heard that remark. Though from earlier her laughter in-laws sounded so clear. But Rey does not know what is the source of the conversation.

After a few minutes of chatting, Adzan magrib also reverberated. “Sholat first! After that we wait for your in-laws yes baby!” his father-in-law said to Marwa. Rey over there spoke little. Perhaps because it had not been home for a long time his father-in-law more inclined to Marwa.

“Rey be priest!”

Rey flinched at papa mertunya's orders. If only I had accepted Marwa maybe Rey was used to it. Especially being a priest in his home. But now his father-in-law told him to become a priest in his house. Rey looked at his wife and the woman nodded in agreement that Rey should comply with her request.

Then he took the ablution water and directly complied.

Marwa was happy when her husband wanted to become a priest. That means he can prove to his parents that Rey is indeed a good priest to him. After the prayer, Rey prayed and then shook hands. “Nnot wrong ya that time Om you came suddenly ask Marwa to be the wife of the child as good as you, Rey,” chirps papa in-laws.

The man was embarrassed to be flattered like that by his father-in-law. Rey is not hungry for praise, because she still feels less than the people out there. “Papa can aja,”

“Rey, take care of Papa's only son! Because if Papa and Mama don't exist, the only thing that will be the place where he goes home is just you. After you marry her, Papa's responsibilities move with you. Not that the child's relationship with his parents is cut off, but he is much more entitled to you, different from you who still have to obey your mother. Heaven Marwa moved with you, but your heaven remains the same Mama you, son,”

Hearing the words of his father-in-law he realized that all this time he was entitled to Marwa. Not to separate the two, Rey herself was embarrassed because she had not come home for a long time as her father had said.

Almost seven in the evening, they chatted and in the end the bell rang and her mother-in-law rushed to open the door which was probably Rey's parents there had come to fulfill her iron invitation.

“Ya already come to the dining table!” invite her in-laws and Marwa who first left the small mosque in the house.

Rey got up from her seat and tidied up her prayer place earlier and joined her in-laws. Just now he was out of there and it was true that the one who came was both a parent along with his sister who fulfilled the dinner invitation from his wife's family.

They already know each other better than Rey who knows her own in-laws. Especially about his wife first, his parents already knew it all.
