I stand in front of the white painted house combination of gray, minimalist home trend today. With a small garden in the front yard, beautify this house.
I pushed the bell twice. The owner of the house did not come out. When he pressed the bell again, the door opened.
And what I found. The person who opened this door not only resembled a mother, it was very, very similar.
"Mother?" surprised to see.
"Why are you here?" said the middle-aged woman. With a loud, cynical voice and without a smile, I am sure and unmistakably the woman in front of me is my mother-in-law, the mother of my husband Mas Leo.
Not long ago came the beautiful woman who was the same age as me to appear.
"Who's Ma'am?" tanyakanya. Yes I know that woman very well, a woman who is very familiar with mother. A woman who can make you laugh and tell you many things, which never happened between me and my mother.
Larasati looked surprised when she saw me. That white face looks pale.
"Mother why is she here?" much
"You wherever I am it's none of your business" replied the mother.
"Let's go home" I asked.
"Go home, to your house? No need, I'd rather be here"
"Where do you know I'm here?" ask Mother.
"Mom doesn't need to know Mom" I replied.
I saw the woman, still standing behind the mother without making a sound.
"Let's not understand what's really going on" I'm obviously confused.
"You don't need to be confused, you'll know for yourself" Mother replied.
"Udah finished? You just go home, me and Laras want to rest" said Mother, I looked again Laras who was playing his fingers. The ring finger of the right hand with a beautiful ring.
Without my answer, I closed the door. I left the house, my emotions overflowing seeing Mom like that.
The barrel? Is he married? I saw clearly the ring on the ring finger of her right hand marked that she was married. But why would you prefer to stay with a married Laras. Why don't you stay with us.
I unconsciously drove the car at high speed. And I stopped the car on the side of the road that I don't know where. I put my face in the car. I'm scared, really upset.
I took a deep breath, and I exhaled slowly. I stand up one bottle of fizzy drink. I drove my car back to Mas Leo's office.
"Good day ma'am" said someone I know a menthor there.
"Mr exists?" my many.
"Mother is out" replied the girl.
"Where?" ask again.
"I don't know much" she replied again.
"Bu Ayu.." Someone called me. I know very well him, his name is Imran, my husband's best friend Mas Leo.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" her door. I nodded in agreement to his invitation.
Imran took me to a cafe across the street from the office/music course belonging to Mas Leo. I ordered capucino and Imran robusta black coffee.
"Father"
"Yes" I replied.
Imran was silent, it seemed like he was confused about where to start our conversation.
"Imran, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" my many.
"Yes Ayu... The skinny place is in trouble" he replied and drank his coffee.
"Some menthor today resigned, and we only have 5 more menthor, before Yuni the treasurer also resigned, along with three other menthor" explained Imran.
"Yes I know" I answered
"Leo told you?" ask Imran.
"No, Yuni explained it to me. That's because I accidentally met him" I said.
"Are you and Leo in trouble?" ask Imran again.
"I don't know, it looks like Mas Leo has a problem" I replied slightly indifferently.
"I feel it too, why don't you ask Yu"
"That means? Mas Leo even came home late at night, went early in the morning, there was no time for us to just chat" I explained looking at Mas Imran's face.
"Mas Leo is like hiding something from me" I said again.
"You do you know anything Imran? Tell me" I looked at that sweet black face.
"I don't know anything about Yu, even lately I've also rarely chatted with Leo"
"Do you want to help me?" ask again.
"What help?"
"You find out what's really going on" I asked.
"Father"
"I don't accept Imran's rejection" I shaved my capucinoku.
"Wash" said Imran.
"I beg you Imran, find out about all this" I held back my tears.
"I believe you" I said again.
"I will help you Yu" Imran said.
I spent capucinoku. I wrote down the address where Mom lived and gave it to Imran.
"Wait to hear from you"
"And one more thing, the matter of the office I'm handing over to you too, you can consult it whenever I see you" I stood up.
"All right Yu"
Imran and I walked out of the cafe. Imran continued his work and I didn't know where to go.
"Mas" called me when Mas Leo had just returned home.
"Yes" replied Mas Leo with a tired face.
"So I met Mom, did you tell me?" I'm trying to calm down.
"Not yet" replied Leo. Mas Leo's face turned pale.
I'll get some water for Leo.
"Drink" I thrust a glass of water at her. And immediately the drink did not whistle.
"Why don't you tell me if Mom's in Jakarta, why don't you want to stay with us" I said.
Leo just silently played the glass in his hand.
"Is that what Mom hates me Mas, I want to bring her back here loudly Mother refused" I drank a glass of soda until it ran out.
"Dye.. Forgive me" the voice of Leo.
"Bring Mom home Mas, for what Mom is there, at home Laras who is married" I explained. Leo, who had been looking down, raised his head to look at my face.
"Make it work" he said.
"Hand Mas, I will prepare dinner for you, Rio and I have dinner since last night" I explained as I prepared to prepare Mas Leo's dinner.
"Darling.." said Mas Leo as we prepared for bed.
"I'm sorry"
"Yes" I replied briefly.
"How long has Mom been here?" aska I want to know.
"It's only been a few weeks" replied Mas Leo.
"I've tried to bring you here, but I'm always angry, and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable with Mom's nature and behavior like that to you" explained Mas Leo.
I just kept quiet.
"Do you know why Mom hates me so much?" ask me with the position to back Mas Leo.
"I don't know" he answered.
"Have you never asked Mom?" ask again.
"Mother always answers, if you're not the ideal daughter-in-law she wants" explained Mas Leo carefully.
"Is a woman like Laras what your mother wants?" I keep asking.
"I don't know" he said.
"He looks very familiar with Laras, Mother never treated me like that" I said, holding back tears.
"Darling..." Leo held my shoulder.
"I don't care what you feel, I just love you" explained Leo.
I wiped away the tears that fell. I didn't answer Leo's words. I closed my eyes pretending to sleep.
"I love you very much Ayu" said Mas Leo slowly.
"Can we meet Yu? I'm going to your office this afternoon. There's something important" I read a message from Imran this morning.
"All right, I'll wait in the office" I replied.
"Rio you're ready" I said as Mas Leo and Rio were having breakfast this morning.
"You didn't have breakfast?" ask Leo.
I only drank a glass of milk and a piece of bread. I can't touch my own fried rice. I'm not tasteful.
"Let me drive Rio today" said Mas Leo.
"Are you not troubled"
"No dear" replied Mas Leo with a smile.
"Well, when I'm gone" I said.
Mas Leo kissed my forehead and Rio kissed my hand when I was going to the office.
