After the Rain

Apparently, Not Much Better

The first day at the stage house belonged to Bik Nining. Early in the morning Daniar woke up and started doing his activities. Thank God, last night the stars slept very well, maybe because the air in the house on stage was warm. At dawn, the stars are still sleeping.

"Can I help you, Bun?" asked Yandri who saw Daniar was busy cooking.

"Dad please help dry the clothes that Mother has washed," replied Daniar.

"Okay, Boss Ma'am," said Yandri as he went to the back to dry clothes.

.

.

The ringing of Yandri's phone sounded so loud. Yandri, who happened to be in the bathroom, immediately shouted and ordered Daniar to see the caller's name id.

"Who's calling, Bun?" yandri shouted from inside the bathroom.

"Roni, Dad. Lift, no?" answer Daniar from the bathroom door.

"Just pick it up, Bun!" Back Yandri gave the order.

Daniar immediately picked up the phone from his sister-in-law.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ron!" daniar SAPa.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh, Sister Niar ... Where's Bang Yandri going?" Roni asked from across the phone.

"Bang Yandri is again in the bathroom, Ron. Any messages?" ask Daniar.

"Yes, Brother. The motorbike that was requested yesterday by bang Yandri, is now available, but the seller asked for a price of three million, how is Kak? He said the answer was immediately awaited. You see, it has been awaited by others as well," said Roni.

"Just a minute, Ron. You talk directly to your brother. Nih, the guy just came out" said Daniar who immediately handed over her husband's phone.

Yandri received his phone from Daniar's hand.

"Yes, Ron. Why?" Yandri asked as he set foot into the living room.

Not wanting to interfere too much with her husband's affairs, Daniar returned to the room to finish his work.

Two days after Roni called, Yandri suddenly went home from school on a motorcycle. From a distance, Daniar smiled widely when he saw Yandri approaching.

"This is the bike, Dad?" ask Daniar.

"Yes, Bun. How's it? Nice, no?" ask Yandri.

"Emm, quite right,"; replied Daniar while going around to observe the body of the motor.

"Yes, his name is also used goods, Bun. Importantly, the letter is complete and still worth using as well" Yandri replied.

"Yes, I was right. Yeah, meet the stars first. From that moment he asked me to continue," Daniar ordered him to lift the dry clothes from the clothesline.

Yandri stood on his motorcycle and immediately entered the house to greet his baby. In the middle room, there appears another star playing a puzzle.

"How's your most beautiful son?"

.

The first week of living in a new house, made Daniar so enjoy his household trip. Although only hitchhiking, but Daniar really feel the real meaning in undergoing a household hickey. Until one day, out of nowhere, suddenly Bahar came to the house Daniar.

Wh-tok-tok!

The sun had not yet come out of hiding. However, the door of Daniar's house was already rowdy with the action of someone who knocked him from the outside.

Yandri was doing schoolwork last night. Until the early hours of the morning, he was able to close his eyes.

"No idea, Dad. Open gih, afraid that there are neighbors who really want to ask for our help," replied Daniar still closed his eyes.

Lazily, Yandri woke up to see who had disturbed his sleep in this blind morning.

"Yes, one minute!" yandri shouted, walking with his eyes half closed.

Chequek!

Door opens. Yandri was quite surprised to see his brother-in-law standing at the door of his house.

"Kang Bahar? What's Kang Bahar here? Is there something going on at home?" cecar Yandri who was thinking badly when he saw his brother-in-law came at dawn like this

"Yes, Yan .. something has indeed happened. This too, Akang came here to ask for your help, "Bahar replied as he entered Yandri's house although he was not yet welcome.

Yandri followed Bahar who had been sitting cross-legged on the carpet. He also sat opposite his brother-in-law.

"What's wrong, Kang? What kind of help do you need?" Yandri asked back.

"Akang wants to borrow money to buy gasoline, Yan. Akang wants to leave ngojeg in Sukawarna area, but at this time Akang runs out of gas to get there," said Bahar at length.

Yandri just sighed. So, the Bahar uproar that was done at dawn was just borrowing money to buy gasoline? Oh my God .. can this man not wait until the sun rises? inner Yandri.

Overwhelmed, Yandri returned to the room to take the money. A few minutes later, he returned to the living room to give the money to Bahar.

After getting his wish, Bahar then left without permission. "Ih, it's like a lizard just passing by," Yandri grumbled as he walked to the bathroom to pick up ablution. In a moment, the dawn of Azan reverberated.

It was not only Yandri who was annoyed with the disturbance in the morning blind like this. Daniar also grunted annoyed when he heard the conversation of his husband and sister-in-law.

Ish, people don't know themselves that much, anyway. Cook early in the morning and borrow money. Can't wait until what's wrong? Parents say, 'Will pamali if dawn-body owes, inner Daniar.

.

.

And apparently, the tragedy of dawn did not only happen once or twice. Already a week in a row, Bahar came just to borrow gas money. Not only Bahar, since she knew her son had moved, Miss Maryam also often visited Yandri's house. Unfortunately, Miss Maryam's visit always had another purpose. Until a long time, Daniar felt careless too. Every time her mother-in-law came, only complaints and grievances were heard from her lips.

O Lord ... when will the mother feel enough and grateful for what she already has? inner Daniar.

"Well, Mommy notice, how is it that mother's attitude has changed?" said Daniar as they were chatting in the room.

"I mean Mother?" yandri asked, astonished.

"Yes, which mother once visited us at school. But now, almost every day you come here. Sometimes twice a day. It's like taking medicine. Hehehe," joked Daniar as he chuckled.

"Maybe it used to be because we lived in school too, Bun. So, I felt sorry to visit us. But now, it's different. Although it hitchhiked, but yes at home. So the mother does not need to hesitate anymore to visit," said Yandri expressed his opinion.

"Hmm could be. But Mother was astonished by the same mother. Every time you come, if you don't complain, you must ask for something. Whether it's money, rice, groceries, everything never goes out of his ignorant hands, Mother. So, when are you going to give us? Once in a while, Niar wants to dong too, fussing over the mother-in-law. Don't just Puri and Mia who are always loved" Daniar joked.

"Huss! Can't say that ah! We're just grateful for what we've got, Bun. The hand on top is better than the hand on the bottom" Yandri reminded his wife.

"Yes-yes, Mother knows Well. But if this continues, 'it would seem very if all this time the Mother was never considered a daughter-in-law in the family of the Father. Mother actually does not pa-pa, but if when they need to remember us, yeay is just as sweet as banished," continued Daniar while getting up and going outside the room.

"Hmm, it turns out that moving to a new house doesn't make things better" muttered Daniar who Yandri could still hear.

Yandri took a deep breath when he heard his wife mutter. It turns out that moving house does not necessarily make everything more comfortable. Currently, his household is again tested with the attitude of his sister-in-law and his own mother.

O Lord .. soften the heart of the servant's wife."
