After the Rain

Always Relented

"Whose car, son?" Suddenly Miss Maryam was already standing behind Yandri.

Yandri. "Come, Ma. But Yandri saw Mia get off that car. It seems, they have bought home supplies," replied Yandri looking straight at Raihan and the two shop employees who were dropping off goods.

Miss Maryam could only sigh. It is undeniable that Miss Maryam was quite surprised to see the electronics purchased by her youngest son. This morning Raihan was just buying TV. Somehow as soon as Raihan came home, Raihan even brought some electronic items that he did not know what it was.

"Put where, Bang?" ask one of the shop staff.

"Just put it home, Bang," Raihan's pinta. "Honey, please open the door!" raihan's orders to his wife.

Mia opened the door. For a moment, she was stunned when she saw her sister-in-law and mother-in-law standing by the window.

"Ish, Honey. Don't stand there, this is you can't get in" said Raihan, who saw his wife sitting in the doorway

Mia was stunned, she immediately shifted to give way to her husband.

When Raihan entered the house, Raihan was no less surprised to see the brother standing while folding both hands on his chest.

"Abang," muttered Raihan.

"Where's Bang, the fridge?" The shopkeeper asked again.

"Eh, just here, Bang," replied Raihan.

Both store employees also put electronic items that Raihan has purchased. After getting his tip, the officers say goodbye home.

Mia goes to the room, while Raihan justifies the position of her belongings. Yandri returned to the kitchen followed by Miss Maryam. Arriving in the kitchen, Yandri again sat opposite his mother.

"So, how's Mom. Not that Yandri was presumptuous and did not respect Mother, but Mother herself knew, 'is about the money that Yandri lent to Mother. If indeed the money is available, it's good for you to immediately return the money," said Yandri.

"Mom understands, Yan. However, don't you still have two more days to pay your debt?" Maryam tried to negotiate with her son.

"The name of the debt, sooner or later it must be paid as well, ma'am. Suggestion Yandri, mumpung Ibu still hold the money, it's good Mom immediately pay off the debt," replied Yandri at length.

Again, Miss Maryam could only sigh. Actually, he didn't want to pay off his debts. However, Rizal's whimper who wanted to have a television, made Miss Maryam's heart melt. He then told his youngest son to find a used TV. Miss Maryam herself did not expect that Raihan would buy a new TV, even complete with a refrigerator and washing machine

"Mom," call Yandri disperse his mother's daydreams.

"ye-yeah, Yan. I'm sorry, I can't return the children's savings for now" replied Ms. Maryam slowly.

"Why, Mom? Have you not received a payment from a person who has bought an albasia tree?" yandri asked, astonished.

Maryam shook her head.

"Want to?" Yandri asked again.

"Money .. that, Yan ... Raihan bought a TV," replied Miss Maryam.

Instantly, Yandri's body suffocated to hear his mother's reply. If Raihan buys the big TV with money from the sale of albasia, it does not rule out the possibility of the goods he bought earlier, using the same money as well.

"Why did Mom give the money to Raihan? Why are you more concerned with buying TV than paying off debt?" tanya Yandri deeply regrets her mother's attitude.

"I'm sorry, Yan. I just want to please Rizal. Poor boy, every night had to go to the neighbor's house just to watch television. After all, I just told Raihan to buy a used TV, " replied Miss Maryam

Yandri's hope of getting children's money for school at this time, disappeared instantly. Ask the rest to Raihan, just for free. Looking at the luxury goods that his sister bought, Yandri could already predict if the money from the sale of albasia trees, would have been exhausted by Raihan.

Yandri could not say anything more. Scolding Raihan? Obviously impossible. That's not Yandri's nature. To scold his mother, even more impossible. Finally, with a troubled mind, Yandri said goodbye to his mother.

"Is bang Yandri home yet?" mia asked her husband.

Raihan just shook his shoulders answering Mia's question.

"Did he get angry when he found out we were buying those electronics?" Mia asked back.

"Don't know, Mi. Brother did not find Yandri bang," replied Raihan.

"Ish, what if he gets angry and asks us to return the items?" mumble Mia.

"Yes, let's just give it back. Mumpung has not been opened yet, too" replied Raihan.

Mia pursed her lips. "Ih Mia doesn't want to Bang, if the items are returned again. Brother, you know, if Mia needs those things," said Mia.

"Yes already, then do not need to be returned, kok bother very much anyway, Mi," said Raihan.

"But, bang Yandri? Mother's loan?" ask Mia.

"It's Mi, don't think too much. That's, mother's debt, let it go. After all, mother still has some land left by the late father," Raihan replied as he laid his body on the bed.

"But, Bang ...."

"Here you go, let's take a break!" bring raihan. "Ish, please incandescent brother dong, Mi. Abang's body feels really pegel abis lift the goods," he continued.

Although her heart was still overwhelmed with anxiety, but Mia complied. He approached Raihan while sitting on the bed. A moment later, Mia began massaging the husband's back.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" Yandri said his greetings limply as soon as he arrived at his room.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Daniar answered, opening the door to his room

"How's the star doing, bun?" yandri asked as he entered his room.

"Alhamdulillah, a little lightened Well," replied Daniar.

Yandri landed his ass on the sofa. He then leaned back while closing his eyes. For a moment, the shadow of the younger brother while lowering the electronic items he bought, flashed in Yandri's memory. He again threw his breath out violently.

Seeing her husband could only be silent. Bad thoughts began to roll in his mind. Maybe he didn't make the money?

Daniar approached her husband. She also sat next to her husband.

"What's up, Dad? Did you manage to get your kids' savings from you?" ask Daniar.

Yandri opened his eyes. He then looked at his wife with a sad look. "I'm sorry Dad, Bun, I didn't make it with the money."

Daniar rubbed the back of her husband's hand. "It's okay, Dad. There's still two days left. Maybe you don't have money yet" replied Daniar comforting her husband.

Though, in his heart Daniar wondered, is it possible that Mr. Agus saw wrong?

"There's no way you don't have money, Bun. All of my albasia trees have been sold. It's just that, the mother prefers to buy a TV rather than pay her own debt," said Yandri a little furious.

Hearing the husband's confession, Daniar of course felt shocked. "I mean Dad?" tanyakanya.

"Mother told Raihan to buy a TV for Rizal. However, Raihan instead bought other electronic items. I'm very sure if Raihan buys these items with the sale of albasia trees," said Yandri.

Daniar was quite surprised to hear her husband's confession. Again Raihan, everything is always about Raihan. I can't afford to dwell if Raihan has asked. In the end, the husband must always give up for Raihan.
