After the Rain

Apparently, Jealousy

"Magrib, Bun. Mommy should go ablution first, let Daddy take care of the Star," said Yandri.

"But Mom, prepare the food first. Let's not bother too if it's right Dad came home from the Mosque," said Daniar.

"Oh, yes already then," replied Yandri while carrying the Star.

Soon, Yandri's phone, tucked away on his desk, rang.

"Ish, who's calling this afternoon? Don't they ever know if it's time to break their fast soon?" Yandri grumbled a little while reaching for the smart thing. His forehead wrinkled when he saw the name on the phone screen.

"Who's calling, Dad?" tanya Daniar who also felt a little disturbed by the sound of the phone.

"Sir Agus, Bun," replied Yandri. "What's the matter, Mr. Agus, calling this afternoon?" yandri.

"Ish, where Mother knows .. just lifted up, Dad. Who knows, it's important," Daniar ordered.

Yandri shifted the green button so that Pak Agus' call was connected.

"Assalamu'alaikum, sir!" yandri SAPA.

"Sir Yan, come quickly!" answer Mr. Agus.

"Dry? Where do you mean, Father?" Yandri asked while linking his eyebrows together.

"Something happened at Nek Maryam's house. I myself am not very aware of the real problem. It's just that, now Habibah runs into the wilderness that is behind the house," replied Pak Agus at length.

"What?!" pekik Yandri's. "Yes already, sir. I'm going there now," he continued.

Yandri disconnected the phone. "Please hold the Star, Bun!" yandri said, handing over his daughter.

Daniar immediately carried the star. Her forehead shriveled when she saw the anxiety on her husband's face.

"What's up, Dad?" ask Daniar.

"Okay, Dad himself doesn't know for sure. It's just that Mr. Agus said that if brother Bibah ran towards the wilderness that was behind the house," Yandri replied while wearing his trousers.

"Keep, what do you want?" ask Daniar.

"Dad wants to find Bibah's brother" replied Yandri.

"But no more magrib, Dad," Daniar said.

"No pa-pa Bun, I can break my fast on the road." Yandri answered back.

"Yes already, day-care Well," Daniar's message.

Yandri. After that, he went to his mother's house.

At home, Miss Maryam was only able to sit unmoved after her son and daughter-in-law left. Not wanting to provoke any further commotion, Bahar was forced to leave. Although he was very worried about his wife who ran into the middle of the forest. However, his eyes that could not compromise with the darkness, forced Bahar not to join the search.

"What's this, Maryam? Why did you throw out your son-in-law? What's wrong with you?" tanya Wak Eutik who was sitting next to his sister.

Maryam remained silent. He just stared blankly at the window whose curtain was still not closed. If you're honest, Miss Maryam herself doesn't understand why she could do such an act of disrespect.

"Your?" wak Eutik continued while shaking slowly the shoulder of Miss Maryam.

"Come, Ceu. It's just, Iyam felt annoyed when he saw Bahar's face," replied Miss Maryam as she sighed.

"Obsolute? But why upset, Yam? Has he done you wrong? Has he offended you?" Back Wak Eutik looking for his sister with various kinds of questions.

"Iyam was just upset by all his words, Ceu. He promised that he would make Habibah and her children happy. But where is the evidence? Until this moment, he was unable to buy anything for Habibah's two children," said Miss Maryam looks upset.

"Dear, Maryam. The name of the effort is always there are ups and downs. Don't you know that better? You yourself have felt it, right, when you are at the peak of glory. But the wheel keeps turning, until finally you yourself have bankruptcy in business. So too with Bahar. Maybe, at this time Bahar's sustenance is not good. Therefore, Bahar has not been able to meet all the needs of Habibah's children," said Wak Eutik, trying to remind his sister about the wheel of life that continues to spin.

Maryam was silent. What my sister said was true. However, once again Miss Maryam tried to deny the truth. He still argues, if Bahar is able to meet the needs of Habibah's children, then the affection of his children will never be divided.

Maryam sighed again. "Nauval came and gave the Lebaran shirt he bought for Rizal. But she did not remember the mother who gave birth to her at all" muttered Miss Maryam.

"Astaghfirullah, Mariam! So, you kicked Bahar out just because you didn't get a Lebaran shirt from Nauval?" wak Eutik asked, not believing that his old sister had jealousy towards his own grandson.

"I'm just upset, Ceu. Had Bahar been able to meet all the needs of Ali and Rizal, maybe all the gifts Nauval was just for Iyam. It will not be divided with Habibah's children" said Ms. Maryam.

"Oh my God, Mother!" yandri who was already standing in the doorway. A moment later Yandri approached his mother and sat down before Maryam.

"Yandrii? When did you come?" asked Maryam, surprised.

"So, you kicked out the Bahar kang just because of the Rizal Lebaran shirt given by Nauval? You're jealous of Rizal, your own grandson? Astaghfirullahaladzim, Ma'am .. Why do you have such short-sighted thoughts? I should be grateful that Brother Nauval still pays attention to Rizal's needs despite having his own family. Ish, why can you throw out innocent people?" yandri said, slightly regretting what his mother did.

"Enough yandri! If you came here just to lecture Mom, you better go home!" sahut Bu Maryam expelled his son.

"Ish, Mother ... Yandri instead of lecturing Mom. It's just that, Yandri is not out of thought with Mother's childish attitude. Just imagine, what if all this happened to Mom's son? What if Yandri is expelled by Ms. Salma for no reason? What if Nauval's sister, Yoga or Raihan, gets kicked out by their in-laws? Will you accept that situation?" tanya Yandri tries to resuscitate her mother by turning things around.

Maryam could only be quiet. As a mother, of course, she herself would not accept if her child was treated like that. Expelled for no reason, of course Miss Maryam will feel offended and hurt. However, once again Bu Maryam's ego dominates her heart.

"If you really want a shirt, tomorrow we go to the market. But I have to apologize to Bibah and Bahar. Don't you worry about Bibah's brother escaping into the bush behind the house? What if something happens to Habibah? Did you ever think there? Astaghfirullah, Yandri did not think the same mother."

Yandri rubbed his face violently. The cries of the neighbors who called his brother's name, immediately reminded Yandri of his purpose here. A moment later, Yandri came out to join the search for Habibah.
