My Husband's Past
Chapter 13 The Confused Firm
"Can help mom cook not , mom's leg hurts sprained down from the bed earlier .. " .
"Ngge, cook what ma'am ?" .
" Cooking soto, mom is ready the season just peel, wash, puree , the chicken has not been ungkep yes " .
"Ngge .. " .
"Mother and father made coffee, Rina made tea, he's dizzy if not drink tea " .
Coincidentally today is Sunday , but the Firm does not dare to ask where Rina sister-in-law after drinking and finishing tea earlier, whether to enter the room again or go out, I do not know .
Her house-in-law has a large left front and right side yard, living room is also quite 8.5 x 7 meters, a central room for two television viewing places and a place to eat together , there are 5 bedrooms and 1 place of prayer , to the kitchen is separated by a door that is placed on the side but still merges with the mother house whose breadth is not inferior to the living room area .
But the floor of his house-in-law was still the ground floor, uh more precisely the paving that had started to mix with the ground . While the pure kitchen floor is still ground and lower half a meter from the floor of the other room .
Here the Firm feels alone , what - what to do alone without anyone inviting him to talk let alone help him complete the task of the house .
After cooking and preparing at the dining table, the firm sweeps from the front yard to the kitchen's last mother house , while in the direction of the bathroom the Firm saw two stacks of dirty clothes in two large tubs .
"Housework from 4 o'clock, ah already at 9 but there are still two mountains of laundry clothes, when did you wash the furniture that was made ?? " . The company saw a pile of clothes and pan that has been blackened because it has been used too often or indeed left black for years also I don't know , he could only inhale deeply - deeply and take it out roughly .
Tired ?? Of course the Firm sensed it, how not as long as he stayed with his parents never felt this tired especially with the task he felt was endless .
"I was called to an important conversation or to do a kayak gini job ..??! " . Rina complained in her heart let alone know the dirty clothes that were piled up like it had been collected a week more it .
Adzan Dhuhur reverberated in front of his house-in-law mosque, he who was still drying clothes felt exhausted especially under the hot sun glare and wear it so much .
"Mbak Firma, hot mbak, Rina where do you not help until sunning clothes so much ?" . Budhenya Agus greets the Firm when leaving for mushollah to attend congregational prayers .
"Mboten ngertos budhe, ndugi enjing mboten ketingal (not know budhe, from morning not seen) " . The Firm replied smilingly approaching an old woman of her age above her father while kissing her hand in a polite manner .
"Let's Rina do the kayak gini job, let's not miss .. !" .
"Mboten nopo budhe .. (Grandfather budhe) " .
"Budhe joined the congregation first, later if it is loose to play into the budhe house behind it, can pass the side alley Let not dirty his legs, if through the cage many mosquitoes are also .." .
"Ngge budhe matur nuwun .. " .
Girma continued his activities, finished everything The company took a bath and prayed, when he saw the dining table the Firm was shocked to see the table had 2 dirty dishes, rice had stayed half the container in magic com, ' he said , chicken bones scattered on the plate and table, in a pot containing soto was only left more than 15 pieces of chicken, only 7 pieces left .
"Astaghfirullah ... Who did all this ??" . asked the Firm in heart .
"Grubyaak !!! Srekk srekk !!" . Sound from the side of the back house . The firm walked looking to the side of the house past the living room . It turns out that Mr. Samiun came home from the rice fields all looking for grass like .
The company immediately entered the room to take a change of clothes, because the clothes he was wearing today were dirty and wet in the laundry water .
Finish bathing and praying Firm approached his father-in-law . " Have you eaten ? If I don't want to heat up the soto .." .
" Have you eaten Fir ? " . Mr. Samiun asked back without answering the Firm's question .
" No sir I want to fry eggs ,, " .
" You also want Fir to eat an omelet " .
The firm nodded its head as it passed and opened the fridge, but in it there were no eggs and even the contents of the refrigerator were only water and vegetables that had withered .
The firm remembered that her aunt Agus whose house was at the end of the street behind the sale of basic goods, the firm rushed the way to her house .
" Mboten ngertos bi .. (Do not know) .. " .
" Where in the fridge are there no eggs, why did you buy yourself ? " .
" Out of bi, it looks like mother has not had time to shop " .
" Tell Rina if you go shopping, what was your mother cooking ? " .
" Mommy told me to cook soto, aunty want ? " .
" You cooked ? Rina what is it ? " .
" From morning I haven't seen him .. " .
"Based on the child males, must be in the room toy cell phone continues " . Groused aunt Agus .
" I said I used to pity you have not eaten just waiting for the eggs .. " .
" Mattur Nuwun .. Heart - heart ! " .
Arriving at home the Firm immediately fried the eggs and prepared the meal of his father-in-law, but the Firm had lost its appetite because it was tired of this one , he chose to relax and overslept .
"Allahu Akbar Allah ... hu Akbar ... " Sound the voice of the Adhan from the mushollah . The firm woke up and was confused because it was dark .
" Astaghfirullah .. It's 6 o'clock, already adzan maghrib .. " . Firm rushes to wash face, ablution and prayer . He only realized that he had slept for 2 hours .
" Fir .. I want to talk .. ! " .
" Ngge bu .. " .
" Do you know Liya ? " .
" Not just hear the name .. " .
" Ok just aja, you do not mind if Agus deket again the same mbak Liya ? " .
Calling the name of another woman is always called her name, but what about Liya her mother-in-law actually called her with the word mbak ? . Think Liya .
" You mean mother ? " .
" Liya's mother was almost her daughter-in-law, but her mother Liya even set her up with other men, a month ago she gave her mother the same money as Rina, a hefty money , you're not angry if Agus deket is the same again ? It would be good if the same mother Tina got money directly from her .. " .
" I'm sorry ma'am but what does that have to do with me ? Who is given money is the same mother Rina, so why should I tell my husband to be near other women? ? , instead of him also married ?? " . Replied Firma lazy, she had heard the story about Liya from the mouth of her own husband and otu very disturbing the calmness of the Firm even though she did not have love for Agus .
" Fir .. You're the daughter-in-law here, she can give me the same money because she's a lot of money do you not want the mother to be part of her wealth ?? " .
The firm gawked at the sentence of her mother-in-law . Without answering what else the Firm went into the room to take his bag and say "mom I say go home now yes, tomorrow I have to work , ' ' tomorrow , this morning I had my permission to my boss .. " .
" Ooh .. Have you worked ? How much salary ? Can you give me as much as Liya loves ?? " .
The firm was just speechless confused by her mother-in-law's .
" You know not ? Actually in Java count the number of your birthdays with Agus is not suitable , if not separated because of death yes split life " .
Deg !! ... The heart of the Firm is getting worse because he does not know what his mother-in-law means but he immediately tells her to fear the night is getting late and there is no bus passing again and must wait for the morning at seven . Moreover, the distance of the house with the main road is approximately 3 kilometers
