*7 Days After Husband's Passage

"Mas.kok you have the heart, ninggalin I myself hiiks..." with tears, mom Intem stared blankly the frame of their wedding photos that began to look worn.

No one knows how difficult it is for Ms. Intem to get through these seven days without Louis, who has been her life companion for 17 years, repeatedly trying to accept everything, but still his heart always wanted to fight with his mind.

From behind, there was a stomp of his father-in-law's feet that were about to approach, it appeared that he was carrying a plate of food for Intem.

"Intem, eat first, from yesterday you have not eaten loh"

"I don't have appetite mom"

"Just try to eat, a spoon of two spoons is also okay"

"Mom...Intem is not appetite" with withered face, Intem repeats the same sentence.

"Don't think of yourself, said the baby in your womb" the in-laws snapped slightly.

"Mom masakin pig pad moo, for you, eaten well" he said again seduce.

Intem was only silent to hear it, until shortly afterwards Intem was aghast and walked to the kitchen, with a hurried step he vomited white liquid, his in-laws also rushed to Intem.

"You still can't eat pork?"

"Yes ma'am" he said with a deep breath.

"Yes, later I just bring the pad moo home, let it be eaten with the father"

"I'm sorry ma'am, not that Intem does not want to eat mother's cooking, but I know you have set the condition of Intem since pregnancy"

"It's okay, mom knows, what matters now is your health and your baby" mother Jiyah-in-law, displayed a big smile on Intem.

Today the in-laws deliberately serve a special menu of Pigs pad moo for Intem, because it is one of the most favorite foods in Intem, because it is one of the most favorite food, hoping she will eat it but unfortunately Intem is still difficult to control her pregnancy.

Seen from the eyeballs of the in-laws, how unfortunately he was with his son-in-law, even long before that, the hardest moments ever faced Intem and Louis, Louis, when he repeatedly had to lose a child because the content of Intem is very weak said the doctor, but the in-laws still provide support to Intem, still take care of and care for him, but the in-laws still provide support, if in likeness to other in-laws he might have asked Louis to remarry with a woman who could give offspring to his son, but he did not do that at all.

All know, since the beginning of her pregnancy, Intem is no longer eating pork, as if he does not like everything related to pork, let alone to eat it, let alone eat it, just looking at the animal around him he was already screaming hysterically like he would faint on him, many say it might be because it was innate when pregnant, even though he was very fond of the animal before.

Once he held and bathed the most beautiful piglets according to him, he once also let the piglets play in his house, but now no longer, no longer, Intem also has 5 pigsties, which he previously cared for himself with his husband, but since Intem became pregnant has been taken over by his gardener.

Now behind is seen Jiyah ma'am who approached the housekeeper, while pouring a moo pad on a small box to take her home, he advised the kitchen assistant not to mix pork first in every snack.

"Bi.then make porridge for the team just make Intem, the meat is using chicken because he can not eat pork, do not need to use coconut milk"

"Good ma'am"

"Yes ma'am, I'll work on it"

Della, who is the housekeeping assistant of Mr. Louis and Ms. Intem since 10 years ago, is very well aware of what kind of typical Jiyah mom, even though she looks a little chatty, she is, but all of that is a form of concern for his son-in-law and also his children.

*****

That afternoon, Intem was sitting in the front row of his house, with a blank look he looked at the rice warehouse next to the house, thinking back to usually in the afternoon like this, Intem must have accompanied her husband to count the amount of rice that had been wrapped in sacks in the warehouse, after which they rushed to the saung to enjoy a warm tea together.

"Mas.hiiks...hiiks.." Intem cried again, he was really not strong to have to face all the shadows of Louis who continued to haunt him in the house.

While from inside the house, bi Della saw the sadness of Intem, he was bowed down as if he also felt what was being felt by his employer, shortly afterwards, because he saw the day getting darker, as if he was still feeling, bi Della immediately approached Intem.

"Mom..ayo entered, already this magrib, it is not good to sit at this hour outside" said bi Della, Intem who justifies Della's speech immediately went inside, with the path that began to limp it, bi Della also tried to hold the hand of Intem to get into the house.

"What's the aunt cooking tonight?" ask intem.

"Ahm...cuman cook porridge team only mom, mom want to eat now?"

"Yes, I can bi"

Bi Della happily went to the kitchen to prepare the team's porridge, when he was ready, he returned to the living room with a bowl of his team's porridge.

"Careful the bowl is still hot" said bi Della reminded, while sucking the bowl on Intem.

After that, Intem immediately ate the porridge by opening a little chatter on bi Della who was currently accompanying him to eat.

"Bi..according to aunt, who is the right person, who will I appoint to replace Louis's position in handling this business?"

Of course, the business in question Intem is his rice business, and he has prepared three candidates, which of course the candidates are from the closest people, he said, there are two men who are his brother-in-law and one man is his younger brother, but the three people do not know this scheme.

"Ham...sorry ma'am, is this not an exaggeration mother asked aunt's opinion?"

"Bi..I just ask the opinion of aunty, because after all, aunty is like my parents here, whatever the opinion of aunty, of course I will consider"

"Alright mom, if according to aunt, maybe Mr. Dalton is a little better to take care of this business" said bi Della mentioned the name of one of his sisters-in-law.

"Why did aunt choose Mr Dalton?"

"Because according to aunt, a little bit of Mr. Dalton already had experience in taking care of the rice problem, and the second one so far also that aunt saw, Mr. Dalton really cares about us ma'am, every time Mr. Louis asked for help Mr. Dalton never refused, even the aunt saw he was also very affectionate mother like the younger brother of Mr. Dalton himself"

Hearing the opinion of bi Della that is quite reasonable, Intem was a little worried because previously he had intended to appoint Arie who is his younger brother to replace Louis, Louis, but Arie's attitude that has not been so caring for his family, intem made to think back on his decision, how not Arie who only came to his house when he wanted to borrow money, how not to, Arie also never wanted to help Louis when Louis needed his help either to send rice or just move rice in the warehouse, and until now intem also has not received a hand from Arie as a form of congratulations on her pregnancy.
