I arrived a few minutes ahead of my original plan. With the maximum speed of my moge, it didn't take long to get to the Battalion.
The clock has shown at 13.30 WIB. Soon I'm heading home. I feel bad because I know very well how my wife Riana is related to Mak. Especially now that Riana is goiter to me because of our quarrel yesterday in front of my parents.
"Assalaamualaikum, Maak..Rianaa..?" I said hello while calling my wife and Mak's name.
"Wa'alaikumsalaam." replied someone from inside the house. Windi and Anggi. They welcomed me with a sumringah.
"Where's it?" ask me right away
"Mr in the kitchen, again waiting for Abang," replied Anggi slowly.
"You've had lunch" I asked to see the lethargic faces of my sister and niece.
"Not Bang. Said Mak want to wait for Brother first, let's eat together," replied Anggi.
A strange voice on Anggi's stomach touched my ears. Oh, my God, this hour..Mak, Anggi and Windi haven't had lunch yet. Where's Riana..? Inner wondering.
"Yuk, let's go to Mak's kitchen" I pulled my sister and niece's hands into the kitchen.
"Riana where's Mak?" I asked so I met Mak. I hugged and kissed Mak with pleasure. Kasian Mak, all the way here want to find Children, Daughters and grandchildren, even left like this.
"So your wife said goodbye to Mak, going to the house next door neighbor said," Mak replied with a lethargic face.
"Why Mak doesn't eat, it's too late Mak" I said as I guided Mak to the dinner shirt.
I looked at Mak's smiling face, probably not wanting to worry. Without waiting for long, I also opened the food cabinet and.lho.this is not my inner wife's cooking wonder. Surely Riana's a ready-to-eat pesen on the app, I guess in my heart.
"Figure.call your teteh home, take Kiara. Tell me you're home!" seruku, tell my sister Anggi to call Riana.
"Yes Bang.." Anggipun went to the next door neighbor's house while carrying Kiara.
While waiting for Riana and Anggi, I prepared our lunch. All the side dishes in the closet I took out and put them on the table. Not to forget the warm rice that is still intact in the rice cooker also I put on the table. I don't care, maybe one of those side dishes was deliberately kept by Riana for herself. Anyway, I'm all out.
Before long, Riana, Anggi and Kiarapun appeared from the front door. Not wanting to fuss in front of Mak, I decided to silence Riana's attitude this time.
As soon as I saw me who was busy serving Mak lunch, Riana said nothing. He knew I was angry.
"Sorry Ri, Mak ate first.Tadi Mak wants to go to the house next door to call you, but Mak is not happy so Mak mutusin to wait for you to come home, Mak explained. Maybe you don't want your daughter-in-law and son to get it wrong.
"Yes Mak..Riana also apologized, that was later next door," said Riana slowly. The tail of his eyes glanced at me. But I'm not gubris.
"Eat Riana," asked Mak.
Riana nodded. His eyes were now on the dining table. Rendang that he had bought and stored in the dining cabinet for himself is now presented beautifully on the table, right in front of Mak.
I deliberately took out the entire contents of the dining cabinet as an act of protesting my treatment of Riana to Mak.
There are still 3 pieces of rendang left on the table. Riana who really likes rendang was about to take it, but I held her hand that was about to touch the plate while shaking my head.
"Let's just Gun.make dinner," said Mak who apparently heard my whisper to Riana earlier.
"Ga mak, eat it. Windi and Anggi had not eaten either. For the night Gun buys again" I replied and then continued my lunch.
"Come Anggi...Windi, eat with brother. Pake the meat rendang side dish yes..," I told Windi and Anggi to come eat.
We had lunch without a sound. Only with the sound of plates and spoons clashing with each other and the voice of Kiara who occasionally asked to be fed Mamahnya.

POV Riana
My upset and anger towards Aa' because of our quarrel yesterday at my In-laws' house, last night when Aa' left without saying goodbye to this day is still not lost. It makes me lazy to do anything including cooking for today.
When my in-laws went to the dorm, I started to worry. My mind is torn between reluctance and resignation.
Reluctant because my relationship with my Mother-in-law is not okay. Because Mak, Anggi and Windi are already heading home. There's no way I told them to come back because Aa' wasn't home.
Frankly, I still don't know how to behave in front of my parents. Moreover, no Aa' can mediate between us, Daughter-in-law and In-law.
From the beginning Mak did not like me because of my marriage with Aa' without the blessing of both Aa's parents'. Especially when marrying me, Aa is Rini's husband who Aa's married in series
Because I was lazy to say, I finally decided to order ready-to-eat food on the online application. I deliberately ordered my favorite rendang and I stored it in the corner of the dining cabinet.
To buy time and avoid facing my Mother-in-law for a long time, I deliberately linger in the house of Aunt Deni, my next-door neighbor until I forget that lunch time has passed a few hours ago.
"Teh, Brother has come and sent Teteh home," said Anggi who suddenly stood in the living room of the house om Deni while holding Kiara.
What time is this. I forgot that my father-in-law was home.. Riana was shocked and realized that she had been in her neighbor's house for too long..
"Ooh.iya Nggi, come on..Tan...I go home first yes," I say goodbye to the host.
"Yes Ri'..,"
"Let's not," I pulled Anggi's hand and I took Kiara from her sling. This is how I avoid my husband's anger.
Upon entering the house, I saw my husband preparing lunch for my Mother-in-law. I kept quiet and tried to avoid my husband's angry gaze.
At the dinner table I saw the rendang I had saved. I took my favorite side dish, but suddenly Aa' swerved towards me with an unusual look. Finally, I chose to give up.
" I'm sorry Ri, Mak ate first.Tadi Mak wants to go to the house next door to call you, but Mak is not happy so Mak mutusin to wait for you to come home, Mak gave an explanation. Maybe you don't want your son and daughter to get it wrong.
"Yes Mak..Riana also apologized, earlier on the side," I replied in a soft voice.
Today feels so unworn to me. I know after this, we...My husband and I will fight again. Duh..!!
