Rehan who came home from the wedding of Princess' cousin was a little upset and disappointed because no one invited him to salaman when he had extended his hand but no one received Rehan's salaman. They had known Rehan long before Rehan married the Princess.
"Darling ... Why you??" Ask Princess.
"I'm upset with your family!!!" Ketus Rehan's.
"No way, what's wrong?" Ask the Princess curiously.
"Your family doesn't seem to like me, because no one's returned a greeting from me. Is this because I'm just a vegetable seller, so I'm a brand." Rehan cried while taking off his batik shirt.
"No need to take heart dear, who is patient ." said the Princess trying to reduce Rehan's anger.
"Yeah... " Sighs a long breath.
"You are again ....Aja disabarin". Rehan said again.
Indeed, lately since Rehan in PHK and became a seller of vegetables treatment from the Princess family is much different. They stayed away, ranging from the humiliation that Princess and Rehan got to be shunned. Not just Rehan, the Princess was so if he met his family, he was not spoken to or reprimanded at all.
Even when the Princess entered the hospital, not a single person from the Princess' family came to see her. They seemed to be moving away from the Princess and Rehan. Passing in the street alone is not reprimanded each other even though Princess and Rehan invite her to smile.
Different treatment they showed us. Kak Ani and her husband are very flattered because Kak Ani's husband is a private employee. We are just a vegetable seller. Not only that the husband of the cousin Princess has a good job, salary already UMR and work in a well-known company. They always compare work to us.
Not only away from the family from the Princess also underestimated us, he said where maybe we can build a house if the work is only a vegetable maker. In addition to the family, the Princess just talk to say this that is.
Hearing that Rehan was very angry. From now on we have to prove to them we can build a house.
Actually Princess and Rehan no longer want to meet them but what could be a coincidence again there is a Thanksgiving event at the Princess' grandmother's house. At that time the Princess and her aunt came home from Umrah worship.
Last night the Princess' grandmother called ..
"Your son is here tomorrow, because my grandmother wants to be grateful for the return of her grandmother from the holy land of Mecca."
"Yes grandma... God willing if there is a chance tomorrow. Me and Rehan are going there.
Phone disconnected.
"Honey grandma invites us to her house because she just came home from Umrah worship." Princess Saying .
"Yes tomorrow we go there, but I'm actually lazy to go there but this is nothing for grandma." Rehan.
The princess only nodded indicating she agreed with Rehan's words.
In the afternoon Rehan and the new Princess want to go to the grandmother's house because wait for Alif to go home from school and teach first. The distance between the home of the grandmother and the Princess is only about 3-4 kilometers. We just ride a motorcycle. Arriving at the grandmother's house, we were greeted with a caring grandmother but different from the sisters of the mother and the Princess' family. Everyone whispered when we came. Their eyes were on us as if they were not expecting us.
Rehan and I don't care about them, our goal is to come here for Grandma. My grandmother was good to us too. Does not differentiate his grandchildren.
"You have come Princess" said the grandmother while holding her great-grandson Alif.
"Yes grandma" the princess nodded.
"You eat first." Exciting Grandma
Suddenly the Princess' cousin came over
"Ehhh... You just came to eat... If you have eaten, do not forget to wash the dishes..!!!" Whisper the Princess' cousin and leave the Princess eating.
"Yes" replied the princess.
"I know myself. It was as if he was talking like that. As if I wasn't expecting our arrival. "Daughter in the Heart.
Princess gives Alif to Rehan, she wants to help the person in the dishwasher. The plates have piled up as high as the mountain. No one cleaned it.
"It seems like this pile of dishes was deliberately unwashed, waiting for my arrival" the Princess exclaimed inwardly. The princess continued to clean the pile of dishes even though her heart was a little upset and angry.
Finish washing dishes, time for division
ole-ole of the holy land of Mecca. The princess again took Alif and called Rehan to sit next to her. The division of ole-ole is done by the mother's sister's eldest daughter grandmother. All the families have gathered. The division begins with dates, and zamzam water. Next chocolate candy, tasbih, and peci. Rehan and Alif also get peci. Now it's the women's turn to get the distribution of clothes and sandals. At first I smiled happily in my heart saying Alhamdulillah... I finally got it too.
The division starts from the oldest and sits close to the aunt. Ani got a sandal and a shirt, as well as another cousin. Cousins from mothers can also. Until we get to the Princess. Her clothes are up, her joints are also up so the Princess only gets a prayer beads, the roots of the Fatimah tree, dates and zamzam water.
"Mops... Sorry you didn't get any clothes and sandals." said aunt mother's oldest brother (Hj. Sabrina). He does not like Princess very much.
" Yes Aunt ... It's okay" said the Princess even though in her heart wanted to rebel. His heart was so sickly treated differently from his own mother's family.
"Take mine Put..." Fun Aunt Darma provides the clothes she gets.
"No need for Aunty .. This is for Auntie ... Princess is okay. There are dates and prayer beads. " Said the Princess even though her heart aches and tries to hold back her tears.
"There's actually still Put's shirt... But this is already something that has for aunty neighbors there" said Hj. Sabrina showed me the contents of her suitcase.
"It's okay, Auntie. Just give the shirt to the auntie's neighbor over there. They'll be waiting for the ole-ole from Auntie. Anyway I've got this Auntie." Said the Princess while showing dates and prayer beads.
"There are still many clothes in Auntie's suitcase. Had he given me one, I wouldn't have been this sick, treated like everyone else in my own family. I could only hold back my tears, review my chest, try to be patient and hold back my anger. " The Princess murmured in her heart.
Rehan who saw his wife being treated unfairly in his family was speechless. He tried to calm the Princess down by hugging the Princess and whispering to the Princess.
"you are patient and strong, dear. I'll buy you a dress much prettier than that"
"Yes dear." Exclaimed the Princess who was still trying to endure the pain and tears so as not to come out.
Grandma just came home from prayer at the mosque. If grandma had seen all that. Grandma approached the Princess and Rehan.
"Daughter... You just stay this time...??" Take grandma.
"Sorry grandma.. Princess does not stay because Alif school and Rehan wants to sell tomorrow morning." declined the Princess gently. In fact, the Princess' heart was very sick. But he couldn't say anything to Grandma. He has to keep Grandma feeling.
"I thought you were staying tonight, son." said the grandmother again.
"No grandma... Next time, Ohya Alif is sleepy. Princess wants to go home first." Say the Princess while saying goodbye to go home and leave her relatives.
"Yes son, be careful on the road." said the grandmother as she waved her hand to the Princess and Rehan.
