My Husband Is - Cuek

Mother's Rant

The sound of dawn woke me up. This not-too-distant sound could be my automatic alarm clock every morning. I want to rub the eyes that are still sleepy. When I pulled my right hand, my hand suddenly felt held.

I forgot that last night I slept with Rey. In this room. This cheek blushed for a moment. Untold happiness. Rey when sick suddenly turned into a spoiled little boy. I slowly pulled my hand. I don't want to wake Rey who's fast asleep.

I stepped slowly down from the bed and out of Rey's room. Slowly, I saw Mom and Dad were no longer in the room. Mom was heard in the kitchen, while Dad, usually he would go to the mosque when the prayer time arrived.

This is a great opportunity to take towels, clothes, and some beauty tools. I'll be in Rey's room soon. I took a shower in Rey's bathroom and immediately started the morning prayers.

When I finished, I was still busy drying my wet hair. It will be quick when assisted with a hair dryer. I was standing by the table looking for a power source. Flapping wet hair.

In the middle of this morning's routine, I just realized that Rey has woken up. He's looking at me.

"Wake up, Rey," I said.

"There's an electric plug. You've made my pillow wet." Without smiling, Rey moved from the bed to the toilet.

His face looked fresher than yesterday. Maybe that's why his cuek and jutek nature came back.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

"elvin. Let's breakfast!" I shouted from outside the room.

"Yes, Mom." Without waiting, Rey, I immediately approached Mom and Dad in the kitchen.

"Well, early in the morning udh shampoo." Mother glanced at me while raising both eyebrows. Mom's behavior made me shudder a little.

I just smiled stiffly at Mother's ravings while aiming at the fried rice.

"Ma, are you filled?"

"Huh. Fill what, Mom?"

The mother faces sideways and rounds her stomach with both hands forward.

"Pregnant?"

"hey are. That's what all couples look forward to when they're married."

I bowed listlessly. I can't possibly tell Mom about the household. Especially the problem of the bed, because it's part of the disgrace.

I can only take a deep breath. Mom is still waiting for my answer.

"Ma, why silence?" Mom started investigating. His feelings really cannot be lied to, especially after seeing the state of this child.

"If Rey is busy or tired of work, don't force her."

I was pensive with my mouth open. I can't believe I'm still defending Rey.

"Yes, Mom."

A little bit of happiness in this heart. Apparently, I don't suspect her daughter-in-law one bit. Precisely under circumstances that he did not know at all, Mother still defended Rey. Of course, until now I had been very restrained from telling anyone about this matter, including my own mother. Let this be my business with Rey. Only time can answer.

"Mom will call mom's friend during school first. He's an obstetrician. When Rey is cured, you take her to see the doctor. You will undergo a pregnancy program so that you can quickly get pregnant. Haa, mom really can't wait to hold a grandchild."

I'm getting dizzy hearing Mom's words. This body is boneless. In the midst of this heartbreak, Rey came and immediately pulled the chair from under the table. Mom quickly put rice in for her favorite daughter-in-law.

Smiling I watched Rey until now. The father who was next to Rey until cleared his throat when Mother had not yet shifted her eyes.

"Egem ... "

I held back the laughter of seeing Dad. He might be jealous of Rey.

"Alma, how are you. Why don't you get some rice for your husband."

These eyebrows are crimped with rice in my mouth. Sometimes I don't understand the attitude and nature of the woman I call Mom.

**

"Alma, is Rey still as cranky as she used to be?" ask Mom while cleaning the table.

"Hem, not really, Mom. It's been a lot of attention, huh."

"You should pay more attention to your husband."

Ha, again it must be me.

"Yes, Mom."

"The man if he's concerned with her, he'll be attentive too. If we behave normally when he is in the office or often call his girlfriend, he will also be ordinary. Not jealous."

For some reason, my heart was like a wound doused in lemon water, sore when Mom said her girlfriend. Maybe I'd be normal if that woman wasn't Vina.

"Yes, Mom."

"So, if the same man named the husband, we have to snack. Like a child. If we are good, he will be good too. If we like to be rude, yeah, don't expect him to be good."

It may be true what Mom said. But, it felt like all those things were not affected by Rey. I feel like I've been paying attention to him. But still he was indifferent to me.

"If the husband is tired, we should be on standby to massage him every day."

"But, Alma, right, also work, ma'am. Tired."

"Yes, that's a risk as a wife. Who you work for."

So, my fault again?

I sighed softly hearing Mom's chatter. As if all this was my fault. But, anyway, I can't blame Mom. Because he doesn't know what I really am.

"If your new husband comes home from work, offer him water to drink, give him the sweetest smile." She smiled so much that almost all of her front teeth were clearly visible.

"elvin. Why silent? Understand no?"

"Yes, Mom. Alma knows."

Oh, why does this dishwashing feel so much.

"If we're in that house, we should dress up. Wear as sexy clothes as possible."

That slightly sensual word, Mother purposely brought her lips close to my ear while whispering.

"Wear red powder and lipstick, until Rey is at home."

"Yes, Mommy."

"You understand no. Yeah, yeah, just from there."

God, are all mothers like him? Thankfully, I am not at home with my mother. Or, I can't imagine that every day I get this spiritual flush.

"Ha, done." I walked up to the rag hanging not far from the sink.

"Eh, Alma wait," stop Mom as I walk away from her.

"Otherwise, Mother." I feel like crying.

"Fruit peel, yes, for Rey and Dad."

"Yeah!" I let out an annoyed breath and walked towards the fridge. Take some apples and papaya.

I peeled the fruit while Mom walked up the cobble with two jars of snacks to the front.

Haa, why do I have a mother like her?

Seriate...

Yukk, like, rate note. I'll be feedback later. Makasianhh
