Against Julid's In-laws

POV Dita's

"We, try to call your sister, haven't we ? Mother phone with mom and dad, not active."

It was still morning that I came to the contract. Again, which was discussed by the bad brother. It sucks that Bagas. He left at will, completely disrespecting the existence of parents. So I'm the stormy one.

"Patience, ma'am, new literacy."

"Udah's nine, Dit. Your time is not awake. Where is your husband ? Have you gone to work ?"

"Yes, Mom, he works. It's nice at home, my head's dizzy, no rice."

"Yes, later discuss about Aditnya. Now call your sister."

I had to be literate. Open the phone and call the bad brother.

"Lho, how is it not active, Dad, Mom ? He is also inactive. I'm changing the number."

"Can't you, Dit ?" Mom's panicking.

"Where Dita knows. Wait a minute, try social media checks on both of them."

I checked Instagram and Facebook. Their accounts could not be found. Am I blocked ? Or did they accidentally close the account ?

"Where, Dita ?"

"Bashful Bagas with Ayu ! They could not be contacted through anything. Try Mom to call Si Ayu's mom."

"Just the same, Dit. The number's off."

"Well, really a disobedient child. This is the name is not moved, but deliberately run away from Mom and Dad so not asked for money."

"Oh Allah, what about dong, Dit ? Monthly money giving Bagas stay a little. It should be another week to send monthly money. Where mom hasn't paid electricity, rent, school, mobile debt, too."

"Mom of all debts."

"Lho, that's the money used for you, Dit. You will buy a stove and cooking utensils. The money is from mobile debt."

"Lha, tell me who you owe. Come on, Mom, Dita's head is dizzy, here, the stomach is getting bigger, where there is no money for the baby. I don't add to your mind, it's getting complicated."

My mother was silent with teary eyes. How else, boro-boro give money to parents. To yourself alone is overwhelmed. This is all because of Bagas, his position is rich, but stingy naudzubillah. Just help the monthly money just object. Poor my mother too, she came home from here empty-handed. Let me call Ayu's father in the next village. Even if Ayu changed the number, she must have contacted her parents.

***

My husband just got home. Now, he works as a motorcycle taxi and any worker. I told him to find work in Jakarta again, he said he tried, but still no call. Wonder why my life has become so bad like this. The more my frown set the cooking money to bald. Dizziness, ahh ! If I wasn't pregnant, I would have run away from here and found a good job.

"Mas, ask for money to cook."

"It's..."

"Huh ??? Just twenty thousand ??? What money is enough for this, Mom ?! Twelve thousand miles of rice, haven't bought chili, onions, vegetables."

"Don't protest a lot being a wife. Buy a telor with royko, done !"

"Telor again, telor again !!! I've been eating eggs for a long time."

"Arghh... Dizzy I hear you babbling on !"

"Find money for the nabok of your mouth that is chatty !"

Dih, why is he even angry ? I should be the one getting angry, you weird husband. Very upset, the first time pregnant, but not spoiled at all. Different from Si Ayu, I think she was pregnant really good. Want this it immediately bought the same Bagas. While I ? Boro-boro, make a difficult meal half-mucus.

"Mom's home, huh. Want to get chicken cooked."

I'm on my way to my mother's house. Only there can I eat well. Whatever I want is given. So whatever the problem, complain to the father and mother the solution.

"Mom... Mother ! Open the door, ma'am !"

There is no lawfulness.

"Huh, where the hell is it ?"

Suddenly Mom came from the front, carrying a crackle.

"Ourselves ? Mom bought vegetables. Come on, come in."

Mom opened the door and we went in. I checked everything I bought at Bu Ijah's shop.

"Mom, just buy kale ?" Ask wonder. Tumben mom just cook one side dish. He usually bought chicken or fish.

"Mom has no money, Dit. It's been a week since Bagas left this house, I'm trying to make a meal. Just ngandelin from your father, lha, your father gave him only twenty thousand, enough yes just buy kale. Fortunately there is rice, from the results of the rice porters."

"Gosh, Mum... The Bagas really didn't bother ?"

"God, Dit. Surely Si Ayu deliberately wants to master the child Mother. If this continues, Mom's life can be hard."

"Truly disobedient the two of them. Well, if this is extinct is hope Dita eat well, Mom. Dita wants to eat chicken, ahh, just buy it Dita chicken, Mom."

"Where's the money, Dita ? Mother's money doesn't exist, no." Mother said showing her empty negligee bag leaping.

Aghh!! Frustrated, there is no hope of eating well this time. How do I keep going ? It can't be difficult like this. A Dita is not the level of eating kale or egg doang. It could be ugly I mostly eat non-nutritive food. Although the villagers, but please, food is not a village.

"Just don't want to know. I owe you there first, so Dita can eat chicken."

I kept whining until I finally relented and immediately went to Bu Ijah's stall to pay the chicken. Mom soon returned with a kilo of chicken and a moody face. It must be because Ms. Ijah said something bad. But that's okay, the important thing is that I'm eating good now.

I ate my mom's chicken. It was delicious, until two dishes were finished. I haven't eaten very well this week. Finally get a free meal and maknyus like this.

"Dita, the side dish is for the father."

"Father eat kale, Mom. This is the other one I want to bring to Mas Adit."

"Yes already. Oh yes, try to find a way so that Mom can contact Bagas. If the gini continues, the mother can be more difficult. Yesterday I had to hang out from a mobile bank."

"Why do we go to the house of Si Ayu's father, Mom ? I'll borrow Mas Adit's bike."

"Can, tuh. You'll pick up mom, Dad."

"Ready, Mom. I'm gonna take a nap first. Later in the afternoon I'll come and get my mom. Thank you, my dear mother, make the chicken goosey."

Eating home. It's so good to have a good mother. Now it's time to take a nap, because the stomach is full after eating two dishes. As for Ayu and Bagas, take it easy, I will definitely be able to get their numbers. It's good to run away from responsibility. Should take care of mom and dad's responsibilities together dong, instead bestowed on me.
