Hari Raya night in the village of Alcenna's mother-in-law ....
The sound of takbir roars in the night of this feast day. Alcenna has always had tears in her eyes since her father died. He actually still misses his father secretly. But the peak of his longing at night. Alcenna misses her father a lot. Alcenna sadly remembered her father.
"Dad ... how are you there, Alcenn misses you. Really miss daddy. Alcenn misses father's embrace, misses father's smile .. missuuu."
After his heart was a little light Alcenn just joined them. In the living room was Alcenna's mother and father-in-law, her children and her sister Azarine.
Sammy who can never again gather, especially now even further, he was transferred to Kalimantan. For companies engaged in the field of garment, national holidays and holidays are precisely more crowded customers and greater turnover. That's why Sammy never got a holiday. Sammy still comes home once a year.

In the morning after returning home from the id prayer, they gathered. Her mother-in-law is very affectionate with her first grandchild, Ayu.
"So Ayu why not be invited?" ask Alcenn's mother-in-law.
"Don't want her Ma'am" said Alcenna's husband.
"So where does he live? Why doesn't he stay in your house?"
"He doesn't want Mom, he wants to stay at his mother's brother's house" Alcenna replied.
"Where she wants to be, can't you set foot in your house, "Suddenly the mother-in-law blames Alcenna.
Alcenna who has given up a lot of problems, can not take it for granted. He had just felt at peace, and now his heart was burned again.
"I don't quite know why I kicked him out of the house and I banned his footprints at home, but what the hell. When he sent Alif he stepped into my house as well as Mom, and asked Allya and Alif himself, if I kicked him out. I even took him. He who does not want to be free" said Alcenna quietly. Wants him to fight. She was always wrong in the eyes of her husband.
Alcenna didn't want to make her mother sad if she had a storm. He regretted why his mother had no price in their eyes either. Mothers who have gone to great lengths to care for and educate their grandchildren.
Heart that was already sick, the night Alcenna told her husband. "I want to go home tomorrow morning, Bang!"
"Why?"
"Because I'm always disappointed to be treated by your family every time I go home. If you do not think about the happiness of your mother who likes to see Brother can spread in the village, it is not able to my heart. Just now my heart was happy, we weren't fussing. My heart is hurt again!"
"What's Ayu's problem first, why doesn't Alcenn have a story?" ask husband.
"Don't know?" And her husband nodded.
"When he wants us to get the package, Alcenn takes care of the conditions. Alcenn even paid in full, then did not know what reason he canceled his B package. He wants to go home to his mother. So Alcenn told his mother to come. Even Alcenn picked up his mother from the terminal to the house. His mother asked Alcenn when he was home. "Why didn't Ayu want to test that package?"
"I don't know, brother, just ask her Ayu" I said at that time Bang, who Ayu herself was sitting among us.
"Then the mother asked, "Why Yu, you didn't take the exam and even want to go home?"
Ayu hit the floor and said, "Yes, I've never been appreciated in this house!"
"I was enraged by the way he hit the floor, as if suffering him over my house, so I said, "What I don't appreciate ha! try you say. What I did to you, even in this house there's nothing you do but eat, drink and sleep. I never told you once, did I?"
"At that time he was just silent no more rebuttal. Because it is what it is. I'm still hurting to remember the way he hit the floor, I said to his mother, "Take the big brother's son away and never step on his foot in my house again, I don't want to accept a kid who never thinks of me!"
"Mom is silent. But you know your brother's ex-wife. In front of the sweet, the new back dare to roar," said Alcenn cynically.
"So mother where that time is, isn't she fit in our house? When Alcenn said he didn't want to continue with the package and was picked up by his mother" asked Alcenna's husband in surprise.
"There was in our room, even after I drove to the city bus, she said, "Let her go home with her mother, if she doesn't want to be formed. Tomorrow in front of him, do not pick up his mother again. Mother's hang, worried, you will be stabbed in the back, "that's what my mother said at the time, now even blame me. In front of my mother and sister again. It's like there's no price for my family" Alcenna said.
"Yes, I'm sorry" said her husband.
"I don't need to say sorry, brother, I want to go home tomorrow if I need to tonight. My heart hurts times it feels."
"Yes tomorrow morning my brother said mom, we're home, okay?"
"Yes promise?"
"Yes, go to sleep now."

"Our mother came home this afternoon to the city" said Alcenna's husband.
"Why fast, usually not up to a week here?"
"There needs to be a ma'am," elak Alcenna's husband smooth.
But Alcenna's mother-in-law felt like her and said, "Did Alcenn offend his mother?" Alcenna did not answer, she left it to her husband what he wanted to say.
"Yes, I missed too much. I know the mother's favorite grandson who does not know himself, less what is his stepmother. Said mom a little cost take the package, quite a lot Mom. If it is finished no problem, throw away this money that can not stand. It's like a rich man with a lot of money" said Alcenna's husband honestly in a gentle tone.
"Yes, I'm wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" she said, pointing to Alcenna. Her husband's mother was a gentle figure.
"Yes ma'am, don't apologize, it's my fate that is less fortunate not to have children so bind with this family," alcenna said calmly but sharply hit her mother-in-law's heart and even Alcenna's own mother.
His mother looks stunned. Alcenna's mother was not the same as Alcenna. His mother gave up more. But Alcenna also felt a lot of relented throughout the age of her marriage.
"It's not like___" Alcenna's mother-in-law was about to argue. Alcenna immediately overtook the conversation.
"What's not so Mom, all this time never mother just asked me once? Have you ever wondered if I am pregnant or not? Ever been? Haven't you? In the mouth of the Mother and family are only the grandchildren of the Mother's ex-wife of the child Mother. If anyone feels unappreciated it is not considered, I am the mother's person, not the mother's favorite grandchild." Acenna let out her heartache and uneg-unegnya all these years.
"Originally you know, I suffer every time I come back here. Let me see if there's no, my husband's family thinks I am. You used to hate him when he was still his wife, been an ex even you puja-puja, be kind to all the family Mother. Without caring about my feelings. Never did I talk to them like this, Mother's grandchildren, Mother put it to me. But you treat me like a lifeless doll. If you like playing, if you don't throw me away" Alcenna said slowly but curbed her anger. His chest hurts, his breathing feels tight.
All just silently looked down including Alcenna's mother. Alcenna's mother was seen shedding tears, so she learned of the feelings that Alcenna had been harboring for years. All this time I only knew Alcenna was happy, Alcenna and Azarine were covering up the argument. Azarine also about what her brother just said, did not know. Her brother covered her heart wounds all this time. Now his heart wound was wide open. Alcenna doesn't know what's going to happen after you know. He resigned.
Alcenna's silent father-in-law finally spoke, "If Alcenn doesn't want to hear mother's request, does Alcenn want to hear papa's request? Papa apologized all this time papa's family did not understand Alcenn's feelings. Papa hopes Alcenn doesn't come home from this heartache. Does Alcenn want to?" alcenna said her father-in-law softly, unable to refuse her father-in-law's request.
Alcenna's father-in-law never once hurt her daughter-in-law. Everything that happened was unknown to him. He never talked much either.
"Well Pa," said Alcenna relented.
