Husband, If Your Father Is On Your Mother, Your Sins Are On Me

Episode 23

"Neng, look at this, the former Mas sent a friendship on the sosmed."

I who was sitting next to Mas Yandri and watching my favorite drama raised my face.

"Whose ex is Mas? The former Mas's a lot, Neng ain't hapal one-on-one."

Mas Yandri thrust his phone at me.

"This is Mega" he said

I saw a photo of a woman with a background of natural scenery in her profile.

"Oh that," I said short.

"Accepted or not, Neng?"

I looked at Mas Yandri.

"Mas, about dong!" I exhaled and glanced at him sharply.

"If Mas intends to provoke Neng's reaction by asking like that, Sorry to Say yes mas, Neng is ordinary. Do you think Neng will be moved? Well, I was moved because my husband was very open, until his ex sent a friendship also I was told. That right?"

Mas Yandri nyengir.

"Other if Mas intention ngasi tau to Neng let Neng just know and do not think macem-macem. Then Neng returned to Mas. It's up to you. To be accepted, not to be. I know what to do."

Mas Yandri smiled teasing me.

"You're not jealous Neng? Usually yes, girls sometimes like insecure if they know her husband's ex-boyfriend."

"Well, if you're jealous, every wife is jealous. But Neng was not insecure. Kan Mas chose Neng to be his wife instead. What to worry about? Yes want to be friends mah please, Mas also already understand the limits."

My hair was targeted by Mas Yandri's hand.

"The intention of your seductive prank you doang kok Neng. Kirain Neng will get angry or irritated. Mas also has no intention to accept the friendship of the Mega. Yeah, what's it for, right? Mas also picky dong, although the reason to keep the friendship, but if the benefits are zero and greater harm to what."

His words just now made a wide smile rise on my lips.

"Yes sukur deh if Mas understand." I looked back at the laptop screen on my lap.

***

My mother-in-law called me when Mas Yandri had just returned from work. From his tone, he sounded worried.

"Re, Yandri is home? Mom called me earlier, didn't you just connect?"

Mom was silent for a moment as if she was thinking about something. "Yes later if he's relaxed, tell Mom to call ya. Mom wait. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

***

"Mas, I called Mas earlier, but did not connect. I kept calling Neng, Neng was told to tell Mas to call Mom back."

Mas Yandri who just turned on the television looked at me,

"Mas' phone fell down Neng, unable to turn on. Pinjem your phone huh? All of you later please see Mas's cell phone on the room table. You can make it happen again."

I gave my phone to Mas Yandri and headed for the room. Not without reason Mas Yandri told me to look at his phone. I've fixed my own phone a few times that used to be problematic.

"Yes ma'am, Yandri will tell Neng. Waalaikum...."

I came out of the room when Mas Yandri just turned off the phone. He told me to sit next to him.

"Mother why Mas?" I said while giving her the phone I brought from the room.

Yandri did not answer. He just looked at me with an expression I couldn't explain.

"Mother fought with Ana. Ana wants marriage."

"Huh? why emang? Why suddenly? How are you going?" I swear, I can't hide my surprise.

Mas Yandri threw a rough breath.

"Yes that's the problem. Si Ana again fled to Hendrik's place, Dinda's papa. She fought with Mom because she said she wanted to get married because she was in college. Though very nanggung, in front of him already can graduation if diligent.

Mother told him not to finish college first, try work first even though later pasawah marriage so total housewife. But Ana doesn't want to. Mas also nanya to Mother maybe Ana do things that are not appropriate. But said the mother, Ana herself swore that she did not do anything, just want to get married. Do you know what Mas is saying, Neng? I'm confused to say rich gini."

I laughed without being able to stop.

"Sorry Mas, instead of Neng ga to be concerned. But Mas's face is so funny fitting the story. Haha."

Mas Yandri immediately pouted.

"What do you think, Neng?"

I took a glass filled with milk and took a sip once.

"If according to Neng mah, ...."
