2X MARRIED TO A COUSIN

2xmdc. Elfin

One week after Edos' departure to the Almighty, Tania remained faithfully confined to her room. She still cries for her husband's departure. Fortunately the mother of Atar was still thinking realistically. He wants to eat the food that Siti always brings into the room. The girl was still thinking that there was Atar who still needed her.

"Mak Tania, eat fruit yes," said Siti who had previously knocked on the door and opened it directly. In his hand was a plate containing fruits that had been peeled and cut into pieces.

Tania who was breastfeeding baby Atar turned her head. "Just put it on the table, ma'am. Tania will definitely eat."

The sound of the bell from the front door interrupts their activities.

"There's a guest, Ma'am. Lady Siti check first huh?" pamit Siti who immediately turned her body left Tania's room after putting the plate she brought onto the table.

Nadia only looked at the back of the woman who was a domestic assistant in her mother's house until she was lost behind the door.

"Eh, Sister Nanad. Looks like bring troops, huh? Tumben," said Siti for a moment as she opened the door.

"Mbak Siti is all-around. Just a mother-in-law with her husband, Ma'am. Tania's at home, isn't she, Siti?" nadia answered with a question.

"There's a room, ma'am. More nen*nin baby Atar. But when did Sister Nanad get married? How come you suddenly have in-laws and a husband?" mbak Siti asked rather surprised.

"It's not even a month yet, ma'am. I went straight into Tania's room, yes, Madam Siti," said Nadia who immediately cheered into the house.

"O fast fitting Mas Edos died Ms. Nanad does not look," muttered Siti. Siti's mother just shook her head. Then invite her husband and mother-in-law Nadia to come in and sit in the living room chair. He went to the kitchen to make a drink.

"Siti, what is a deserted house? Where is it at? Where's your employer going?" cecar Bu Nastiti was astonished by the state of the mansion he came to Siti as the girl placed the drink on the table.

"Ehm ... Miss Dewi and Mr. Ardi have not returned from the village, Mom. Her husband Mbak Tania died and was buried in her hometown one week ago. Today the same father Mother plans to go home, maybe still on the way," said Siti.

"Inna lillahi wa Inna ilaihi raji'un, why is no one telling us?" timpal Rasya instantaneously.

"Siti doesn't know, Mr. Lecturer. Maybe because it happened suddenly so no one thought for the news to the family of Mother and Lecturer," said Siti based on her own analysis.

"Are you really sick? When I met in Indramayu at Nanad's wedding with Rasya he looked healthy?" ask Miss Nastiti.

"That's it, Mom. Let alone Mom, we were all shocked as well. The doctor said there was fluid leak in his brain or what? Siti doesn't quite understand either, ma'am. Please drink the tea, Ma'am, Mr. Lecturer," said Siti then invite her guests to enjoy the dishes served.

"Pity yes Tania, her child is still a baby has died husband," said Ms. Nastiti concerned.

"If you want to see the condition of Ms. Tania to her room only, Mom. It's been a week that he hasn't been out of the room" Siti said.

From the middle room appeared Nadia holding Tania's hand walking in tandem. Tania let go of Nadia's hand and approached Nastiti, reaching for her hand. However, Tania's body was instantly pulled by the middle-aged woman into his arms.

"Mother's sorry, who's patient, dear," said Ms. Nastiti patting Tania's back.

"Mother!" tania shouted back at Bu Nastiti's embrace. They are dissolved in the atmosphere.

They sit down and talk about a lot of things. Their conversation paused when the roar of the car stopped in front of the house.

"Eh, there's a guest turned out. Nastiti Ma'am how are you?" the Goddess said when entering the house.

"Thank God be healthy, Wi. I'm sorry I didn't know that her husband Tania wasn't there, her intention was to come here to see her son," said Bu Nastiti welcoming a helping hand from Dewi and they hugged and kissed.

"We don't believe it either, ma'am. It still feels like a dream. Rest assured, ma'am. I want to go to the room first," said Dewi unraveled his embrace.

"Oh yeah, you guys must be tired. Uh who is this? Husband-to-be Aghni huh?" tanya Bu Nastiti looked behind Dewi there was Aghni and a young man whom she had just seen for the first time.

All attention shifted to the two.

"Oh, Budhe. She's Abizar's sister, Mama's niece," Agni's chimed her lips.

"Kirain your future husband, it's appropriate that you reject Rayan's charm if your future husband is cool like this," said Miss Nastiti.

"No, Aghni doesn't want to think husband and husband yet, Budhe. Aghni still wants to go to school" said Aghni.

"Abizar, Budhe," said Abizar, introducing himself as he extended his hand.

Lastly Ardiansyah took a boy of high school age Junior High. Tania stared intently at the young man of responsibility.

"Farhan!" tania Exclamation.

"Sir Tania," the young man also exclaimed.

Tania walked over quickly and hugged the young man. "You're big now" he said. Tania stretched her arms

"Sir Tania is now more beautiful. Listen, Farhan has a nephew, right?" ask Farhan. Farhan is Tania's sister as different mother.

"There's in Ma'am's room. Sit down on the deck, you must be tired of long trips."

"So you've graduated Junior High, Dek?" tania asked as they gathered in the living room while watching the home theater.

"Yes, Mother. Mr. Ardi said he wanted to enroll Farhan in boarding High School here" Farhan said.

"Farhan, how many times have I said, call Papa like your brother called me," Ardiansyah gave an ultimatum.

"Y-yes, Pa. Sorry Farhan still likes kagok," said Farhan.

"Waste and Mutia Ma'am how's it going, Dek?" ask Tania again.

"Waste is healthy, Ma'am. Mutia is also healthy. He works at the minimarket."

"Waste still likes to make a serabi cake?" ask Tania again.

"Still, Ma'am."

"Bak Mutia does she have a husband?" tania asked again while glancing at Abizar who was joking with Aghni, but their views met.

Deg

"Farhan doesn't know, Ma'am. Farhan will live in a dormitory so he does not know his daily life Mutia Mbak," said Farhan.

One by one the people who gathered in the room withdrew because the night was getting late. Abizar and Tania remain, while Aghni sleeps on the couch.

"Sister, is she still going back to Japan? Who will take care of Papa Burhan's tea factory?" ask Tania to Abizar.

"There's Aris helping. Brother hasn't met anyone suitable to take care of a factory in Japan. So while going back and forth," said Abizar. "Why were you talking about Mutia but your view on sister?" continues asking.

"Sister doesn't have a girl yet, right?" Tania asked back. "Mak Mutia is a good girl, sister," he added.

"No one likes to be betrothed. You have your own candidate, right?" reject Abizar.

Tania rolled her eyes. "Who? Japanese or indigenous?" kepo tanyanya.

"Secret!" answer Abizar enigmatic.

"Ih, Tania's brother is using secrets anyway," Tania thieved while pinching Abizar's arm.

"Aw, it hurts, Tan!" pekik Abizar while shaking Tania's hand. "That's a crab's finger or claw anyway?"

"Not cool!"

"It's not yet time, dear Tania. Wait for another four months. Later all my brothers will tell me the will Azhar wrote for my brother" Abizar said.

"Why wait four months? Not that the will of the deceased must be fulfilled immediately, brother?" cecar Tania's.

"In the letter Azhar wrote it was so. Had to wait four months" Abizar said

Hearing Azhar's name several times called as soon as Tania's shoulder fell, her heart was sad again. His eyes were also back in tears.

"Why did Edos miss me, brother? Only then did I feel happy because the presence of Atar complemented our happiness," Tania did not continue her sentence changing with sobs.

"Tan, lukewarm! Edos will not be able to calm there if you are chaotic like this," said Abizar clutching Tania's body into his arms. "Death is certain, Tan. We just wait for his turn. It is the will of Allah, the Almighty, and it is written in Lauhul Mahfudz" he said.

"Tania is sincere, sister. But just remember this cry appears on its own, the time can not be sad," great-grandchild Tania.

"Sister is also sad that her only brother's sister is gone forever, but she's not crying. The first time you hear the news of his death, you cry" Abizar said, wiping away tears on Tania's cheek.

"Woi, there is Aghni here who is friendly anyway," said Aghni with a hoarse voice because she was still sleepy but disturbed by the talk of two cousins' sisters.

"Who is friendly. Brother again comfort your brother who is sad again. You moved into your room there. Disturb me, "Abizar is thieving.

"Sheel," pinta Aghni.

"Relieve it!" reject Abizar.

"Aghni's still sleepy, brother. If you walk to the second floor afraid of falling," whined Aghni.

"Big tired, Aghni. You know it was my brother driving from Batang district to Jakarta," elak Abizar.

"Yes, lead," asked Aghni, who had now risen from the sofa.

"Tan, it's been a really good night, you're sleeping. Pity Atar if you're still here. Brother wants to help Aghni go up to the second floor" said Abizar.

"Yes, Brother. Brother will sleep with Farhan aja yes, the room you used to occupy so my room is the same Atar now," said Tania.

"Yes, that's easy. Sister back sleeping here is also nothing. Big brother" said Abizar.

"Yes, Tania is back in the room, yes" said Tania.

Tania returned to her room after saying goodbye.

"Aghni, so move to the room or not, let's take your lead" said Abizar patting softly on the cheek of Aghni who again closed his eyes leaning on the sofa.
