Tonight my eyes refuse to close. Remembering the contents of the message of the woman who is still my in-laws. He said he was going to visit the house because he missed his granddaughter. I was confused as to how, there was no way I would forbid him from visiting my house. However, Naisya is her only grandchild and I am still the wife of her only child.
But my husband has been away from home for a long time and until now has never returned. Mom asked the man and what would I answer? Moreover, he is a chronic stomach acid that should not be much thought and he also hoped that we live forever together. My father-in-law was so kind to me, that he even considered me to be his own son-in-law, not his son-in-law.
‘’Ya Allah, I have to how is this? Is it time I was honest with Mama?’’
I rubbed my face many times and threw my body into bed. I stared at Naisya as she slept. Yes, because all day he did not nap because he was so excited to play with the foreign man.
‘’Great pity on you, Darling,’’ I said softly as I rubbed his head slowly.
Ah, yes. I just realized I didn't have to thank that guy. He comforted my son until Naisya was so happy. However, I did not care about her behavior that asked for permission to go home. Yeah, he sent me a message and I ignored him, didn't reply to the guy's message.
‘’What's wrong I thank him. By the way he has made my son can smile again.’’ I hurried to sit down and grab a flat object. Without thinking anymore I immediately pressed the contact number of the man.
Rang..
‘’Assalamua’alaikum, Nel.’’
‘’Wa’alaikumussalam. Ren, I'm bothering you?’’
He even chuckled across there,’’No, Nel. I haven't slept yet.’’
‘’Alhamdulillah if it is.’’
‘’I want to say thank you very much. Because you want to play with my son, you occupy the time when you are busy. Ma’af yes, so ngerepotin you,’’ said slowly.
‘’Sama-sama. I can even play with Naisya. No nicotine at all, Nel.’’
‘’Is he a good man with no other intentions behind this? Ah, but I can't be that easy to trust this guy,’’ I murmured in my heart.
‘’Nel?’’
‘’Ah Yes, Reno.’’
‘’You why haven't you slept? You have to rest a lot until you actually recover.’’
‘’I—ini I want to sleep. Yes, yes, Ren. Assalamua’alaikum.’’
I hurried to disconnect the phone. I put that flat thing back. I suddenly breathed heavily. But how does it seem like that guy is a good guy, huh? He was so attentive and caring to me.
‘’No, no. You can't be that easy to believe in that foreign man, Nel.’’ I try to remind myself.
The next morning I finished the ritual. I headed straight to the dining room. Looks have been arranged beautifully food at the dining table which is certainly inviting taste. There are fish gulai, rendang, vegetable capcay, and complemented by fruits.
‘’Morning, Mom,’’ greet aunt Sum as usual with her trademark smile.
‘’Morning too, Bi,’’ I reply then accompanied by a smile. Without another thought I immediately nodded at the chair.
‘’Bi, come here,’’ call me while patting the empty seat next to me.
‘’Aibi at breakfast, Bu.’’
‘’Lah, Aunty mah,’’ lamented that made the aunt smile widely.
‘’When again Aunty will have breakfast with me cobak.’’ Aunt Sum during her work at home never wanted to have breakfast together. The reason is that he has not been able to eat breakfast so early. I'm sure he's as disinclined as my husband.
‘’Kan there is no Father, Bi. I'm alone now, you know. Not good breakfast alone,’’ lamented me with a clear face.
‘’Iya deh, Mom. Aunty wants to have breakfast with mom.’’ The middle-aged woman looked dumbstruck in the next chair.
‘’Nah, so dong, Bi,’’ I said with a smile.
Not long after, the bell rang. Who yeah? Oh yeah, I just remembered. My in-laws said they wanted to come here. Me and aunt looked at each other. We who will bribe rice into the mouth even not so.
‘’Let Aunty bukain huh, Bu.’’ I nodded with a nod and the aunt stepped outside.
Suddenly my taste was gone. I am confused what to do if it comes to my mother-in-law.
‘’Quiet, Nel. You just got out of the hospital, so don't panic. Just relax, everything will be fine.’’
‘’Nel?’’ Making my eyes glare at who is coming.
He came up to me and rushed to hug,’’Iya, why are you even like a shocked person. Kan yesterday I told you, if Mama will come here,’’ he said while releasing a hug slowly.
‘’Humm, yes, Ma. Mama sit down first. We eat ya?’’
‘’Wah, incidentally Mama's stomach is also a very laper. Moreover, look at the food that invites taste.’’
Mama-in-law looked at the food that was in session, then nodded next to me. Aunt stood up and we looked at each other. I immediately took the plate and thrust to the mother who was immediately grabbed by him. While aunt continued the breakfast that had stopped earlier.
‘’Your description why not spend it, Nel? Do you still have no appetite?’’ Mama turned to stare at the plate in front of me that still left rice.
‘’Iya, Mom. Maybe because my medicine is not finished.’’
‘’Makanya diligently take the drug and do not take the drug you forget to drink. Thoughts must also be maintained, do not get you a lot of thoughts.’’ I just nodded and smiled thinly.
‘’Oh yes, Mama until I forgot. How come Mama doesn't see your husband?’’
Jem! In my chest felt a great shock there. Oh my God, what do I have to answer? I glanced at aunt.
‘’M—Mas Deno—‘’
‘’Wah, have a breakfast.’’
It made me aghast to hear a voice that was familiar to me. Then I looked at him with a look of disbelief. Why is that guy here? Why did he enter the house? Didn't the aunt lock the fence until she slipped in so easily? What's he planning? Is he not ashamed of his behavior?
‘’Mama? New dateng, Ma?’’
He hurried to his mother's place and kissed the back of her hand. Makes the woman amazed to look at the child just his way. Likewise, the aunt who was amazed with a gaping mouth looked at the man who had not set foot in this house for a long time.
‘’Iya, New mom dateng. Mama just asked you to your wife. Uh, you showed up right away. Long live.’’
‘’Where are you from?’’ add it later while sipping a glass of water.
‘’A—aku.
‘’Humm, I was in the room, Ma.’’
Your big liar! I want to take out the swear word. But my tongue feels so bad.
‘’Ya. Breakfast first, Den.’’
‘’Bi, Aunty is ready for breakfast, right? Let Deno sit next to Nelda,’’ said the mother-in-law who made me gasp.
‘’Ah, Yes, Bu.’’ Auntie got up and left the dining room.
Now it's just me, the mother-in-law and the traitorous man. It makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable. The man rushed to sit next to me without feeling the slightest bit guilty, like he made no mistake with me and he was like a good soap opera player. I just glanced for a moment and went back to finishing the food that I had neglected. This rice does not taste, I feel like I do not feel the taste in the sauce I have eaten. My heart was so sad looking at this traitorous man.
‘’Honey, you want to add the link?’’
‘’Uhuukk!’’ I hurried to grab the remaining glass of water and sipped it.
‘’His dinner-slows, Nel.’’
‘’What is this traitor man planning to do? Why did he suddenly come here?’’ my monologue is in my heart and I put the empty glass.
Mama looked at me and turned to look at her son. Looks like the man rushed to add rice and complete with sambal. He took it without any shame. Ah, like a man who hasn't eaten in a week. Yeah, he's like a starving man. He never stopped bribing the rice and eating it really greedy. It seemed that she was rarely fed by her dark lover.
‘’Eat tuh love,’’ muttered me in heart while being laid.
‘’Deno, you eat it slowly dong. Kayak is starving. How many days have you not eaten?’’
‘’It's so good, Ma. If my wife who cooks always delicious, there is no match,’’ he said that still contains his mouth with rice. Makes me shake.
‘’Mas, Mas! That's Auntie's cooking not mine. You just can't tell me where my cooking is and where Auntie's cooking is. Or maybe because you are hungry again, everything feels really good.’’ I'm so sick of the skit. I got up, but his burly hand held my hand.
‘’Company first I have breakfast yes, Darling.’’ Made me pull the man's hand violently.
Seriate..
