After the Rain

Visit of Miss Maryam

The month has entered the fifth day. At the time Daniar was shopping at Bik Mumun's shop, he accidentally heard his sister-in-law's conversation with Bik Mumun.

"So, what are you asking in-laws, Pur to open his fast?" ask Bik Mumun to Puri.

"Come, Bik. Puri sometimes goes awry if you want to give to mother," replied Puri.

"What else do you want, Dek?" tanya Daniar who just came out of the kitchen Bik Mumun.

"Eh, there's Brother Niar anyway. Brother from where?" tanya Puri was quite surprised to see Daniar at Bik Mumun's house.

"This, from the bathroom. Bintang bias, if you come here, must ask to pee in the bathroom Bik Mumun," replied Daniar.

"Oah, Dedek Bintang feels at home, at the house of Bik Mumun," Puri said.

"What are you asking for, Dek?" Daniar asked again.

"Do not understand Kak, justin aja," replied Puri.

"I can't do that, Deck. Just say, maybe Brother can help," said Daniar.

"Emm, actually this morning I asked for a side dish to break the fast. But Puri was confused about what to say," replied Puri.

"Yes, this is just chicken, Dek," Daniar replied as he handed the chicken package to Puri.

"The problem is, Puri is confused to give the material or that has matured. Both must always be wrong in the eyes of the mother," said Puri.

Daniar frowned. Honestly, all this time her mother-in-law never asked for anything to do with her and her husband. Daniar itself never provides other needs besides money. Because, Daniar thinks if mom has money, she can definitely buy what she needs. After all, according to Daniar, giving money to her in-laws is more practical than having to provide food.

"Sorry, Deck. Other than money, I never gave anything to my mother. So, Brother never knows the attitude of mother when we give something," said Daniar.

"Hhh ..." Puri sighed. "Puri himself does not understand, Brother. Dikasih food that is ripe, the mother always said the mother does not want anu, does not like anu .. uh given foodstuffs, even more wrong. Mother said, it's useless if you have to buy this, that's it," replied Puri at length. "Yes already, Puri better let it stand, it's up to his son, want to do it," continued Puri.

Daniar smile. "Yes, later just leave this for mom," concluded Daniar while carrying a package containing chicken meat.

Arriving at the room, Daniar recounted the incident at the stall to her husband. Yandri just smiled broadly in response to Daniar's remark.

"Maclumin alone, Bun. His name is also old man" Yandri said.

"Yes, Dad. After all, Mother did not respond too much to what Puri said. Hmm, maybe it was just a misunderstanding due to lack of communication" Daniar said.

Yandri smiled again. "Oh yeah, Bun. Speaking of food, fried rice that you make yesterday, delicious loh. I just up to a few more times," said Yandri.

"really? Thank God, if you like," replied Daniar.

"Dad likes it, Bun. Moreover, fried noodles that we first sahur, very good, Bun," praise Yandri.

Daniar only blushed in embarrassment at her husband's praise. People don't eat wrong, do they? Kok tumben muji I ampe segitnya, inner Daniar while smiling funny.

Seeing his wife smiling to herself, Yandri also teased her. "Cieee who is still grinning is praised husband ...."

"Ish, what the hell, Dad," said Daniar whose cheeks had been blushing like a pink rose.

Yandri. A moment later, he grabbed his wife from behind.

"Ish, Dad! Cancel!" pekik Daniar while hitting her husband's arm softly.

In the afternoon, Daniar was amazed when he saw her husband was busy struggling with kitchen utensils. He was confused to see Yandri who was slicing a leek.

Why is dad in the kitchen, wasn't I cooking for iftar this afternoon? inner Daniar. Curious, Daniar approached her husband.

"Who did you do?" ask Daniar.

Yandri. He smiled at Daniar and said, "Here, I'm trying to make some fried noodles, Bun."

"Loh, just now, Mother is cooking, Dad. Make the noodles tomorrow again, afraid not kemakan too, 'kan mubazir," replied Daniar.

"It's okay, Bun. We will share our food with two mothers" replied Yandri.

An hour fighting to conquer kitchen equipment, finally Yandri managed to also serve dishes that aroma so appetizing.

"Hmm, it smells so good .. it looks good" Daniar said.

"Surely dong," replied Yandri. "Eh Bun, I want to go to my mother's house first yes, want to nganterin Dad's creations," Yandri said as he joked.

"Yes already, hunt gih. Magrib hunt on the street," Daniar orders.

Yandri. Finish putting the food into the bushel. Yandri immediately went to deliver food to his mother's house.

Daniar stared at the back of her husband who was beginning to disappear behind the door. It's lucky mom, who's getting your attention, Kang. Hopefully, our children will have traits like you. Full of affection and respect for both parents, Inner Daniar while closing the door of the room.

This afternoon, Yandri and Daniar were quite surprised by the arrival of Miss Maryam at school.

"Mother? Tumben's chair coming to school?" yandri asked as she opened the room door.

"Yes, Yan. I miss the stars" replied Miss Maryam.

"Yes, let's go in, ma'am" Yandri asked.

Maryam entered her son's room. Back he gave a look. His forehead frowned slightly as he looked at the bed that only had one in the room.

"Niar, I want to stay here. You don't mind, do you?" ask Maryam to her daughter-in-law.

"Of course Niar doesn't mind, ma'am" Daniar replied.

Although Daniar was surprised by the intention of his mother's arrival. However, when he found out the intention of his mother's arrival to stay the night, Daniar was happy.

"Yes, the stuff just keep it here first, ma'am. Later after breaking the fast, Yandri set his seat so that Mom can sleep comfortably," said Yandri while keeping his mother's bag on the sofa. "Yandri said goodbye to the mosque first yes, Mom," he continued.

After saying goodbye to his mother and wife, Yandri went to the mosque. After the death of her husband, Daniar approached Miss Maryam to offer a warm drink to be served iftar.

"Do you want chocolate milk or coffee?" ask Daniar. "Let Niar go to the stall first" he continued

"No need to Niar, later if you want to break the fast," replied Miss Maryam.

"It's okay, Mom. Five minutes to azan magrib. The warehouse is closed too, because here the stall is not open until night," replied Daniar while trying to go outside.

"Ish, don't bother Niar. This sweet tea is enough, really," replied Miss Maryam.

"Do you want Niar to buy you a cake?" continue Daniar.

"No, Niar. You better serve the food. Let it be so later from the mosque, your husband can immediately eat," said Miss Maryam.

Daniar nodded. A moment later, he began to serve food on the table. When Daniar was about to make a sweet tea, again his in-laws refused.

"Let me make it, Niar. All for Yandri too," said Miss Maryam.

"It's okay, Mom. Let Niar do it" Daniar replied.

"Shit, Niar. Please give me a chance to serve my own child. Since Yandri moved, I have been unable to do anything more for him" said Ms. Maryam.

Daniar smile. "But this is Niar's duty, ma'am," he replied.

"It's okay, Niar. It is not every day that I serve my own children" replied Miss Maryam.

"Yes, it's up to Mom. Well then, Niar went to the bathroom first," said Daniar after hearing the voice of azan.

"Catalin first Niar!" ma'am Maryam's orders.

"Oh yes, Mom."

Daniar sipped the sweet tea he had just made. He glanced at his mother who only drank water. After that, Daniar went outside to perform the magrib prayer at the mosque.

As he was about to leave, the Star whined to come along. It seemed, the little boy felt less comfortable being left with the grandmother. By force, Daniar takes the Star to mushola.

A few minutes later. After the prayer, he returned to his room. However, arriving at the door of the room, Daniar was stunned when he heard the in-law's conversation with her husband.

Oh my God...what the hell is this?
