My In-laws

Chapter 7. Seven Months Study

The more difficult the days of hunting my nation, the more people understand how to overcome the unrest of my terror, they began to be wary of anticipating it.

Mother Najah misses Lara, she asks Fadli to take her to see her daughter-in-law in the next village at her parents' house. Fadli hesitated, worried that his mother could not control his naps and wanted to harm his wife and future baby like that night. Lara is now pregnant, not long before she gives birth.

"Bund, you should undo your intention to look at Lara!" fadli Pinta.

"Fadli, I miss my son-in-law!" answer mother Najah.

"But mother should be able to maintain the attitude and control the weather mother later!" fadli's message felt less certain.

"I can do it, son!" mother Najah assured Fadli. "Shortly, don't take long!" added him.

Fadli could not refuse the request of his mother who had not met Lara for almost three months, he turned on the car engine, and took the mother to go to his wife's house.

"I want to give Lara seven months of study, but at our house!" mother Najah's proposal on the Car.

"But who prepared the show? There was nobody home!" fadli.

"You persuaded Lara, invite her parents and close relatives to attend the study. If you're worried about Lara, after the show's over take her to her house! About the preparation at home, let me arrange it." said the mother Najah.

"Well if it wants a mother!" fadli replied agreeing to his mother's proposal.

Fadli and Najah's mother have arrived at Lara's house, their arrival is welcomed by their parents even though they know who the figure who came, but on the other hand he is their son's in-law and besan for them.

After sitting down and talking, the mother of Najah began to discuss the study. Fadli helped his mother persuade Lara and her family to attend the lecture.

"Thank you for inviting us all, we're definitely here!" said Mama Hanum.

"I'm glad you didn't turn down this invitation!" answer mother Najah. "Later Fadli will pick you up."

"Yes, thank you again." said Mama Hanum.

"It looks like we're saying goodbye!" said mother Najah did not feel good for long.

Fadli and Lara are both in the room giving up longing, both still wanting to be together for some time, but Mama Hanum shows up telling Fadli that her mother is taking her home.

"Darling, I'll go home first, right?! I'll pick you up at the school! Fadli still misses Lara.

Lara nodded, she also still wanted to be with her husband.

"Come, go home! Mother must take care of the process of the study!" mother Najah said.

"Good ma'am!" Fadli led Lara into the middle room, deliberately taking her out.

"Quantarin to the front door huh!?" said Lara.

Fadli took Lara to walk forward while holding her tender loving hand. Mother Najah walked staggered to endure the pain of her legs cholestrol effect experienced. Mama Hanum helped him walk up to the car.

"Guard your health, baby!" fadli's message as he groped Lara's enlarged stomach.

Lara smiled happily to see Fadli so dear to her future baby. Fadli got up and got in the car after his mother, and they left.

Bi Ratih came to see Mama Hanum asking about the study.

"Hanum, you dare take Lara to her in-laws' house?" ask Bi Ratih.

"Fadli said after the show was over he'd drive us home!" answer mother Najah.

"That means no hunch?" Bi Ratih asked again.

"Yes, there's no need! Najah himself is telling that! Maybe she's self-conscious." said Mama Hanum.

"Thank God, I'm not comfortable if you're doing it!" bi Ratih said.

"I don't know Lara's staying there either!" reply Mama Hanum.

The two agreed to go to school with other relatives.

Bunda Najah assisted Fadli take care of the study process, starting from shopping, cleaning the house and hiring neighbors to cook to be served in later studies.

"Buy glass mineral water some cartons, sweet tea, Mehuli banana for mouthwash, gelatin and pudding and other pastries. The main menu, white rice with Chicken Opor side dish, cat rice with eggs, add soto menu for other options!" said Bunda Najah to the neighbors who are ready to gogong royong.

Bunda Najah employs neighbors since three days before the event, the preparation is very mature. Do not forget to clean the front room, change it temporarily from the dark and dim atmosphere, but not the type of mother Najah, she does not like the light.

"Fadli, invite ustaz and ustages to guide studies!" mother Najah said.

"I've talked to them, Bund!" answer Fadli.

Fadil came with some mineral water cartons for the study.

"Well back, son?! There's still less, tissue and plastic bags, make it easier thanks to the neighbors later!" mother Najah said.

"Well tomorrow, bund! I want to play first" said Fadil lazing.

"Well when, but don't forget!" mother Najah said.

Fadil nodded as he entered his room, Fadli was busy cleaning up helping the neighbors outside the house.

When the day came, Fadli's house looked beautiful and radiant that day with white and cream shades of decoration, Fadli went to Lara's house to pick him up with his family. Mother Najah was moved, she actually wanted to live a normal life with her family like an ordinary human being.

Fadli's car arrives at Lara's house, where Lara and her family are ready to wait for Fadli's arrival. Without wasting any time, they immediately set off for study, Fadli deliberately drove his car slowly, so that Lara did not feel afraid.

"You are so beautiful with this white long canal!" fadli praised Lara.

"Thank you you for liking it!" reply Lara smiled.

"I swear like an angel!" praise Fadli once again.

"I'm so embarrassed!" said Lara blushed.

"I can't wait to see our baby!" said Fadli with sparkling eyes.

"She's here soon!" lara said with great joy.

Fadli groped Lara's stomach.

"Be careful with the car, baby!" Lara's Reprimand.

Fadli refocused on driving his car to his residence. Soon after they arrived, the invitees were present. Lara and family mingle with them.

Immediately began to study, Lara was happy to be treated special by her husband and family, that day she tried to forget the bad side of the in-law.

The event went well, the neighbors who work in the kitchen began to prepare dishes for invited guests, Lara was not allowed to do anything but sit sweetly in front of the invited guests, as well as her family, Lara was not allowed to do anything, they are forbidden to help their neighbors. When they come like kings, they are treated with special care.

Dish assortment is ready on the sideboard, delicious aroma smelled as fragrant to make hungry guests invited. Guests are free to choose the menu.

"The guest whom we honor, thank you for attending my daughter-in-law's seven-month study, please enjoy the dishes we have prepared!" bu Najah said inviting guests to enjoy the meal.

"Hueeeeeek!" one of the guests suddenly vomited.

There are maggots on the food in his plate, besides that the taste of the food feels bland even though it is still hot and warm.

"Already, mom! Don't make a fuss, later who have a celebration offended, can make trouble!" said the guest next to him advising slowly.

"All the dishes are stale, am I the only one who feels that way?" tanyakanya.

"I feel that way too!" say the other.

"Mending we pretend to eat, keep coming home!" say another guest.

"Truely, it's not good to make a fuss here, let alone humiliate the host!"

"Let's go home!"

Some guests feel the food stale and rotting, even though it is still fresh and freshly cooked. Those who realize it choose not to eat the dish, they rush to say goodbye for various reasons. There were only a few guests who were unaware of it.

But the neighbors in the kitchen who were clad in royong also felt the same way, their appetite was instantly gone.

"It must be the evil creature belonging to the mother of Najah who is practicing this, food in the jellyfish invisible! All stale, rotten and tasteless not good at all!" said neighbor.

"Hush don't be heard who has a vision!" say another neighbor.

"Yes, learn from Sarinah's problems with Najah's mother, you better not deal here!"

"Look, all the food and opor are slimy and stale! It doesn't make sense, but we cook!"

"Sstttt, if told to take it home, take it! Give it to the chicken at home!"

They agreed not to make trouble at the lecture, just like the guests in front. Guests went home one by one, followed by neighbors, they went home to each other.

Lara and her family also felt what the guests and neighbors experienced, she became uncomfortable with her family. Lara met Fadli to quickly drive him home.

"Darling, it's better to take us home!" lara Pinta.

"You're okay, right? I heard neighbors whispering stale and foul-smelling dishes!" fadli said sadly.

"We feel it, but it's better not to tell mom! Mending to take us home, maag Bi Ratih relapsed because of late eating!" obviously Lara.

"All right, let me drive you home!" Fadli invites Lara and the family to come home.

Lara and the family share a farewell to the mother of Najah.

"Saleha, love them thanks to some plastic bags!" mother Najah said to her friend.

"I love you to Fadli!" Bi Saleha.

Fadli and Lara with the family were already heading home. Guests and neighbors also went home to each other, staying Bi Saleha a close friend of the mother of Najah.

"Face, you didn't realize the guest wasn't eating?! ask Bi Saleha.

"So, why?" ask mother Najah.

"All dishes stink and stale! There were even guests vomiting up ahead!" bi Saleha clearly told.

"This wasn't my plan, but it was probably the invisible beings who often helped me out playing around with dishes!" mother Najah said.

"Don't know who's doing it, but the neighbors realize that the dish isn't worth eating!" said Bu Saleha.

"I guessed it, but it was, not my wish!" said Mother Najah did not take a headache.

"Better next time you don't have to make this show, than you're so bad!" bi Saleha.

Mommy Najah nodded, promising not to do the same.

Some neighbors gossiped about the incident at the lecture, the news spread throughout the village, they were not surprised, because the mother of Najah was not a random person, but a human being

Neighbors who had eaten a meal at a lecture suddenly sick, did not stop vomiting, may be suspected by the talk of residents circulating in the village.

Some of them arrived at the hospital, due to loss of appetite days after graduation. Some even vomited maggots.

After that, the citizens of Jera eat anything from the house of the mother of Najah, let alone they know he likes to preserve the baby in the trunk of his house.

"I used to work at the house of the mother of Najah, when she was young, I was repairing the roof of the house, suddenly I saw her cleaning fish, and eating raw the stomachs of the fish she cleaned!" said a man in the tavern over tea.

"There is also a man who sees his neck covered with snakes!" say the others chimed.

"A normal human would see the snake as a long scarf around his neck! That was the snake, his loyal friend!" inexplicably.

"And on his neck there was a circular scratch, where my oil was smeared on the neck, so that he could separate from his body when he wanted to act!"

"Well I've seen he doesn't wear a scarf around his neck, the circular scratches are very visible, exactly like a gant*ng person himself. It's a bit bluish, but it turns out it's where he took his head off!"

"Hey is so scary! How can his son-in-law afford to be at home with such a creature!"

"Maybe she's depressed too, how does anyone know?!"

"True, that's why he went home to his parents!"

"The son-in-law hears strange noises every night!"

"It must have been when her in-laws left and went home looking for prey!"

"And the house smells fishy!"

"That is the hallmark of my house!"

"Better be careful, he's the heart! Time trouble same Sarinah ma'am yesterday until made that bad! But there's no clear evidence, so it can't be legally processed!"

"Yes, besides his knowledge is very high, but listen to him have fallen recently, even can not go home, fortunately delivered by the young people of the neighboring village."

"But we can't bear to make him so, which he has a grudge, and our wife's child who becomes a victim someday!

"I would rather be indifferent than ignorant and take care of his affairs, but remain vigilant!"

"It used to be fitting I was pregnant, it was early in the morning I had woken up boiling water, continued to make fried bananas. Well, he came when it was still morning and dark. He scrunched my stomach, tomorrow I have a stomachache and a miscarriage. I suspect he's bothering Janina, but I just kept quiet because I didn't want to get in trouble!" said the warung tells his experience first.

"Actually it is very troubling, but the land in this village is all his, the citizens can not act because they look for a bite of rice on the land that belongs to him!"

"There is a good and bad side, it's a pity that he did such a stupid thing, if it was not necessary to learn my knowledge, surely his life would be peaceful and prosperous."

Residents never stop talking about the mother of Najah, it seems there are always things that can be used as a language when they chat in the hall.
