Like Rubbish

Sorry part 2.

Ms. Merly approached Suci in her room. They both went down to the kitchen.

Prang !!! Accidentally a servant broke the glass he was holding. His eyes were perfectly rounded watching the big madam already able to walk around gracefully as usual.

"Mrs is healed ? this is a miracle !" his eyes sparkled as his master approached. He even forgot the broken glass that was still scattered on the floor.

Ms. Merly just smiled at her maid.

"Alhamdulillah mama is fine." Saints help answer peppered with smiles as well. Of course, it does not offend about the lies committed by the mother-in-law.

"Alhamdulillah. Sorry madam, I was so surprised I accidentally broke this glass." While moving to clean up the fragments.

"No problem, be careful when your hands hurt."

"Good big lady."

Saints and mother-in-law are ready to cook.

"What do you want to eat ?" Ms. Merly enthusiastically asked.

"Just as for mom."

"What's your favorite food ?"

"Actually almost all the food I like, but the most favorite is rendang."

"Alright, we're trying to make it together."

Both are compact when preparing materials and also processing them. Already like a chef and also his assistant who is busy struggling to juggle food to be full of allure.

The aroma of the fragrant smell of spices combined with tender beef, burst into another room. Stirring up appetite and making the stomach go berserk.

"Finally it's done too." A smile of satisfaction appeared on the lips of Mama Merly.

Food made by him and his son-in-law has been placed on the dining table. Very beautiful and as if waving wants to be eaten immediately. In addition to rendang, they also make sambal ijo, lalapan leaves cassava and others.

Miss Merly and Suci sat next to each other.

"Don't be Holy, you don't want to use rice." Ms. Merly hid her plate as Suci tried to put rice in it.

"Sorry ma. Mama sure ? it's not good to eat rendang not use rice." Finally the rice for mama was put in her plate.

"Sure ! you just ate a lot !" Ms. Merly smiled and put her plate back where it was.

On the plate owned by Bu Merly there is only one piece of rendang, a little sambal and also two sheets of cassava leaves. While having the Saints was very complete and almost filled his plate. A fist of rice with two pieces of rendang covered with a lot of sambal and decorated lalapan coupled with shrimp crackers already perched there.

After saying the prayer, the two began to eat. Mama Merly graciously ate food with a fork and knife. While the Saints ate voraciously using their hands.

Several times Ms. Merly noticed how to eat her daughter-in-law. According to him how to eat with hands like that looks very unusual for him, but if you look at other people who do it it instead looks that the food is more delicious.

It seemed like eating with hands like that looked even more delicious.

Ms. Merly ended up eating with her hands, not forgetting she also added a little rice to her plate. After one mouthful, it felt like something was different on his tongue. The taste is definitely the same, but the more interesting sensation makes his appetite increase.

The next bribe even more addictive. The plate is already toilet but his lips still want to chew, finally Ms. Merly refilled the plate back.

This time I saw my mom eat a lot like that.

Sacred astonishment yet secretly she smiled watching the movements of the mother-in-law.

"Ahhh has stopped ! my mom's stomach is going to explode. It's the first time in a lifetime, mama eats a lot like this." Ms. Merly leaned on the back of the chair she was sitting on while holding her overstuffed stomach.

Saints did not make any comment at all, just smiling themselves at the rare scene of the mama-in-law.

Riki just got home from the office this afternoon. He rushed straight to his mother's room. Ms. Merly was busy chatting with Suci on the sofa. Riki was surprised to see that sight. His mouth was almost gaping and his eyes were wide open to see his mother was back to normal.

"Mama is healthy ?" Riki approached and sat down beside her mother.

He clasped Ms Merly's hand and immediately hugged her. His mother replied with a nod.

"I'm so happy ma.." a hue of happiness emanated on the face of that only son.

Ms. Merly looked down embarrassed and guilty because she was already pretending to be sick.

Riki's bright face turned into confusion. The hands that were wrapped around his mother's body. Looked deeply at Ms. Merly with many questions.

"Mama did it just because she wanted to..."

"Ma..." Sacred interrupted the mother-in-law's conversation while shaking her head so as not to tell all to Riki. She was afraid her husband would be disturbed.

Bu Merly averted her gaze from Saints, leading to the puzzled gaze belonging to her son.

"What exactly is it ?" Riki demanded to get an answer immediately.

"Mama pretended to be sick because she wanted to test how the Holy attitude to mama, after previously she always mama hurt. But as it turns out, Saints are very kind and have a sincere heart." The regretful words that came out of Bu Merly's mouth only responded to Riki with a slumber.

Riki really does not understand the mindset of his mother. Honestly, at this time he started to ride.

"Why did you do such a silly thing ? mama has wasted a lot of time and made Saints hassles. Does mama know ? all this time Suci had been caring for mama sincerely without caring about her exhausted body." Riki's sharp gaze made her mother look down again. Although the tone of his speech did not rise but clearly saw the anger in his eyes.

"Mas.I'm fine, don't scold mama !" Saint hugged the mother-in-law and looked pleading with her husband.

"Mama knows that mama has done a lot of stupidity to Saints. Even though she did all that, she didn't mean to hurt her heart, but she felt very guilty. Mama apologized to you guys. Mama is so sorry." His voice faltered withstanding the cry that was about to break.

Riki doesn't bother. His view is shifted forward.

"Mas, I mean mama is actually good but the way is not right. I've forgiven you, so don't be mad anymore." Suci stared fixedly at Riki while still gently rubbing Bu Merly's back so that her mother-in-law was a little calmer.

Riki snorted in annoyance. His chest is still burning. But the Holy Word made his anger subside a little. His little heart seemed to whisper that he should apologize to Ms. Merly. After all, the woman was her birth mother, who always gave her all the abundant affection.

Riki took a deep breath.

"Because you are my real mother, and you have realized your mistake, then I will forgive you." Riki looked at her mother and held her hand tightly back.

"Thank you." Ms. Merly finally shed tears that she had been holding back.

Suci smiled when he saw the two people he loved and respected could get along well again.

"Mama !" Raisya appeared from behind the door.

Realizing the arrival of his sister, Riki moved to sit next to his wife. Raisya occupies Riki's seat and immediately hugs Merly's mother.

"I'm so happy that my mom can recover." Tears flooded the girl's face.

Sacred, Riki and Bu Merly smiled amusedly towards Raisya. Realizing that he was being treated like that, Raisya took off his embrace.

"Why ? I can't cry ?" Raisya pursed her lips. His gaze alternated towards the three people who were with him.

Riki told me everything about Bu Merly's pretense without coming up with a real reason.

"Mama did that because she wanted to get extra attention from her daughter-in-law." Riki looked for another reason.

"Mama is just. If someone else did this lie, then I've imprisoned that person. Poor Mbak Suci who has been very troubled because of the work of mama." Raisya was a bit annoyed as well but not as angry as Riki. He had no idea about the hidden trials of his mother for Saints.

***

Suci and Riki sat on the edge of the bed looking at each other.

"Thank you so much for forgiving me." Smiling while rubbing Holy face.

"No need to thank me that way. Oh yeah, my mom's taking me to Raisya's shop tomorrow. He said he wanted to see how the business was managed by Raisya."

"Just go, let yourselves take a walk. You rarely go out of the house." Riki still faithfully stroked every curve of his wife's face.

Riki actually already knew the purpose of his mother brought Suci to his sister's Boutique is to choose the bridal clothes that will be worn at the inauguration of the wedding later. It was planned long ago before the crazy idea of pretending to be sick, Bu Merly appeared. Riki himself asked her directly to his mother.

"Why are you smiling so much ?"

"I will give you a special gift for being a good wife and daughter-in-law in this house."

"Gift ?" holy Frown shriveled.

Riki had already dyed all areas of the Sacred face and hugged her as tightly as possible.

Ahhhh is this a gift for me ? always look for opportunities !

He did not expect anything from anyone for the good he did. Especially given the inner living of her husband. It was actually a gift to Riki himself which was an obligation from the Saints. So, yes, just let it go !
