Firmly strengthen the heart to rise again after the departure of the mother forever. Those who leave can not return, and life still goes on even though the sense of loss is undeniable is always entrenched. And Teguh knows, lamenting the departure of his loved ones will not make those who died happy and return to him. Therefore, Teguh tried hard. Strengthen the heart, as the name suggests.. Firmest.
"Sir.. There's Ervin.." Ayu surprised her father who was washing clothes. With shorts and a thin black t-shirt, Teguh met Ervin. The simple appearance of a person who is indeed simple becomes his trademark.
"Assalamu'alaikum mas." Sapa Gendis first. Seen in front of his house was Ervin, Gendis and God who smiled kindly at him.
"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, you know what this mas mbak.. Vin? Oiya let's go in first. Sorry messy house mas mbak.." Firmly take the scabbard and the peci he put on the table.
He had wanted to go directly to his uncle's house for three days of the return of Sang Khaliq's mother after finishing washing clothes but the arrival of guests made him delay his intention.
Ayu without being told to move towards the kitchen. He knows adab appreciates guests, must be treated to food or drinks that he has at home. Ayu intended to make warm tea for the three guests of his father.
"You want to go to mushola? Nyiapin sarong sama peci." Ervin looked at the folded glove that was already beside Teguh.
"To the Vin's paklek house." Said calmly.
"What event is there? Mom, how are you, I haven't seen him in a long time.." Ervin opened the chat so that the atmosphere was not awkward.
Steady breathing heavily. As if reminded of the figure of a mother who has died. "Emak died yesterday Vin."
"Innalillahi wainnailaihi raji. Oh my God, what pain is it?" Ervin shocked. Gendis and the gods are like that.
Before replying, Ayu had already come with a tray containing four glasses of warm tea. That's all he can provide.
"I'm not going with yasinan mas." Ervin said again.
"Mas Steady.. I share my condolences for the passing of Teguh's mother for good, and to shorten the time because maybe Teguh mas busy.. I want to convey the meaning of my arrival with my wife.. I personally asked Mas Teguh to return to work at my wife's place. I also want to apologize for my mistake indirectly for hiring Jatmiko sir there, which seems to be not a wise decision that I took." The god said seriously.
"Sorry mas.. But, yesterday I was given the same last salary as severance money from Jatmiko sir. And the money wasn't used for my mother's funeral yesterday.." Firmly lowered.
"That's the right of Teguh. Yes nothing, just wear it for the needs of the mas. How so, I accept not our offer to join again in my shop?" Now it was Gendis' turn to ask.
Was already confused, want to find work where.. While washing even he had imagined going back to work in the market to be a porters of goods there. But, his confusion was answered when now the two bosses and friends who came alone to his house to offer work. Unrelenting thanksgiving, and it is he that I hold in his heart and tongue.
Vera felt like living in her own home was like home-in-law. There was always a reprimand from her in-laws and Theo her husband. Just like earlier when Vera accidentally woke up during the day, she was yelled at by the in-laws when she came out of her room.
It lasted throughout Vera and Theo's marriage. Storms and mouths have become daily meals. Vera was caught off guard and could not stand the behavior of her husband and in-laws.
"Where are you going?" Ask Vera ketus.
"Go. Not at home." Theo flat.
"It's not like this wong isn't your house." Almost the sentence came out of his mouth but still he could bear with just muttering.
"You know your mom is old, don't keep pushing her to fight anyway? I'm tired of you for a long time!"
Vera's eyes are rounded. Is he always to blame for all the fights? And worse, Theo who used to be gentle, caring and affectionate to her now turned icy cold.
"Inget Mas, this is my home, after all! Kelian just hitchhiked here! Bring what are you here for? There's no.. So take your limits!" Vera began to stir up emotions again.
"Your house? Haha... You said this was your house? You've told me this house is a relic of your dead ex-husband for Dinda! In other words, you are also hitchhiking here!" Why is all Theo saying like there's a knife? Always slicing Vera's tiny heart.
"But Dinda is my son and what Dinda has is mine too!" Denied Vera.
"Oowh is good if you understand the formula, so I no longer need to bother to explain what you yourself already understand." Theo wants to pass away but his hand is pulled Vera.
"What do you mean, mas?" Ask Vera to investigate.
"You're not that smart as it turns out... So as long as I'm here, whatever is mine is also what belongs to my mother! Whatever it is! Including you!! If you ask you to do this and that, don't protest! If you ask me for money, you can't be angry.. Because as you know. What I have, it belongs to my mother!"
Like hearing a thunderous lightning.. Vera never thought how could Theo be so violent to him, even before going out without closing the door Vera was pushed by Theo.
"Mas.. Where you going?? My mother!!" No answer, Theo's gone with his car.
