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

Episode 43

Not far from this residential complex there is a park that serves as a place of recreation. The park is quite large and round in shape with many chairs. If it's Sunday night, many traders are selling there. Starting from satay madura, satay padang, soto, meatballs, fried rice and more. And, on Sunday morning, the park turned into a spilled market.

we are getting ready to go to the park. The plan is, we'll have dinner there.

***

At night the air in the city is still quite hot. The sky looks so bright with so many stars. We're looking for a place to sit. While looking at the food vendors, I observed the surroundings. Many young people spend Sunday nights here. Just natural. In addition to the many food choices sold, here is also not too crowded and noisy. The cleanliness of the garden is well maintained. We spent the next two hours joking around and enjoying a family dinner.

***

When we got home, we were all surprised not to play. The small yard next to the carport is filled with many boxes and also various toys. It is certain that this belongs to the next-door neighbor.

Mom approached the next door neighbor and I went in and took Dre to the room. After cleaning up and changing her clothes, I put Dre to bed. It took half an hour until Dre finally fell asleep.

When I left the room, I did not see the whereabouts of mother, Lita and Mas Yandri. It turned out that the three of them were in the yard cleaning up the mess that the next-door neighbor's son was doing.

***

"Lita's waist hurts" he said, lying in front of the television.

Mom and Mas Yandri went into the room to change clothes.

"Kok can-can be done even Mother, Mas Yandri with you, Dek?"

Lita looked at me.

"So when Teteh entered bring Dre, right Mother next door, it's whose work. Said the next door neighbor his son was playing in the yard. Well, I asked for a druggistin tuh. Uh even nyolot Tea. He said his son was a little girl, he knew nothing. And anyway it's Mom's home page, yeah I should've done it."

I took a long breath. Soon I will ask Mas Yandri to install a fence so that the next door neighbors do not want to be alone. I was worried, mother and Lita became uncomfortable with their presence.

***

"Tomorrow to the park again yuk Neng, usually on Sundays like many who sell animals. I want to visit Dre" Mas Yandri asked.

I nodded in agreement.

"Iya Hayu aja Mas, all together with Mother Lita again, we have breakfast there. Sekalian Neng wants to look at vegetables. Mother said, vegetables there are quite a lot of choices. You can make stock later at home."

I'll sleep when I remember something.

"Eh Mas, our neighbors are nyolot huh?"

Mas Yandri who was also going to sleep answered my question. "Yes Neng, it was almost a storm with Mom. But I don't want to take a headache, uh Mas even the same Lita who was told to settle down."

"Pair pager or Mas, Neng was worried. They want to see you, like Mom and Lita later."

"yes, I think that too. Tomorrow I'll find out how much it costs" Mas Yandri yawned.

***

Mas Yandri bought Dre a pair of rabbits of considerable size. In addition, Mas Yandri also buys feed, vitamins, and cages.

"What's your intention, want some cattle?" I asked when I saw him carrying a cage.

Mas Yandri just grinned at my question. We separated from each other and looked for their own needs. Mas Yandri with Dre saw the animals for sale. Mom and Lita had breakfast near the car park, and I was alone looking for some vegetables and snacks.

"Is there anything to buy?" tanyakanya.

I shook my head, "There's no, that's enough. Want to go home?"

Mas Yandri nodded, "Yes come on, it's hot. Kasian Dre is hot."

***

"Who's this?!" A scream was heard from next door. I smile.

The living room door I left open after Mas Yandri went with Mom and Dre to look through the example of the fence. I chose not to come because I reasoned to clean up. Lita, meanwhile, was in her room.

My guess was right, I heard footsteps approaching.

"Excuse me!"

I rise to the door.

"Yes? Can anyone help?" I folded my hands on my chest.

The next door neighbor looked at me in anger.

"That rabbit has a mother? Go to my page! To the terrace too, where to poop a lot! So dirty is my house! Bersihin Ma! Responsibility, it's Mom's pet!"

"Well, that's Mom's house. Why should I clean up?" i challenge.

"Yes because of my mother's pet who made my house dirty! What a hell, I don't know!" The woman in front of me seemed to have grown more emotional.

"So it was only when my son made a mess of our home page, I told us to clean it ourselves, the reason is because it's our page. Mother also said we have to understand because the messy ones are still children.

Now I want to say the same thing. Beresin is just like Mom herself, it's Mom's house. Anyway Ma'am, I understand dong, who made a dirty rabbit, where he knows. We have to be told to understand the behavior of the mother's child but I do not want to understand the behavior of our rabbits. Not fair dong!" I said cynically.

The woman in front of me looked even more angry but she said nothing. By shaking his foot, he turned around and walked away.

"Don't forget to enter the rabbit into the cage, it will make it dirty again. I don't want to go into Mom's yard, afraid of being reported to the police for entering into someone else's property without permission," I smiled with satisfaction and closed the door.
