(POV) Yunian
Tumben mama-in-law I want to stay in his house, maybe kepet kali, because I did not lend the keys to my house in Padang Gatah. Usually, Mama Retno prefers to stay in Padang Gatah compared to her home. Maybe because he feels not as good as my mom, dad and the rest of my family. Understandably mother-in-law prefers to hang out with socialite mothers rather than hanging out with neighbors.
"Let's go in ma!!.don't hesitate, let's go in. everything has come, Fira and the Sky sir family are all there," I said while holding my mother's hand in the house to meet my family and Fira's family.
"Mama, Papa, this auntie mama-in-law I've come, "I call out to all the families who are drinking tea in the guest room. All the family also greeted my mother and father-in-law including my mother and papa, pak sky and bu Dinda. After that I immediately took my mother and father-in-law with two suitcases filled with clothes to enter my room.
"Mama, equally papa should sleep in my room aja ma, let me the same mas Dion sleep in the guest room," said I.
"Why don't you just sleep in Yunian's guest room, your father if you have to move rooms, " said mama.
" don't ma, in the guest room there is no bathroom, later if mom, papa would go to the bathroom must walk far back, if we are ordinary," I explained. Mama-in-law used to live with comfortable facilities I could not bear to sleep in the guest room because there is no bathroom and no AC. I invited my two in-laws to rest in my room and I immediately brought my suitcase containing my clothes, Dion Jordan and Kiran. Incidentally we only brought a few pairs of clothes because we could take a change of clothes at our home in Padang Gatah village.
After putting down our clothes, I went into the kitchen to join the others, who were preparing lunch.
"Bu Retno did not join us - we huddle Yunian," my mother asked while peeling young mango, Fira's favorite. From the time Fira came, mama was very pampering, always served him and occasionally asked what? , mama can help what?. Like when I was pregnant, my mother did not discriminate between biological children and daughter-in-law.
"My parents again rest ma, maybe exhausted after a long trip," I tried to find an excuse, because it was very unlikely that mama-in-law would want to join those who were only villagers. He was used to hanging out with his social.
Suddenly Fira took the condolence, the mother immediately offered to peel it and answered a nod of the head by Fira, he handed over the kedondong in his hand.
Now it's half an hour and one in a minute will be done lunch traditionally. That is by slapping banana leaves in the middle room, while tables and chairs are lifted into other rooms so that the room looks spacious.
"We also divide rice, vegetables and side dishes on banana leaves that have been in the ampar. Finish dividing all the rice, vegetables and side dishes on the banana leaf sheet. I also called my mother and father-in-law, for lunch, to join another family. But I doubt if mama-in-law would go out to join a village like us. I also took rice separately not joined with others I feel sorry for my mother. Afraid my mom thought I was more concerned with her in-laws, not her.
"Ma, pa, let's eat together outside, we've been waiting for each other, we eat the traditional way by putting rice, vegetables, vegetables, fish on banana leaves slapped in the living room, "take Dion's mama and papa. My mom and dad followed us to the middle of the room to join another family.
When they arrived and sat down, suddenly the mother-in-law stood up without a word, I knew she was not okay, maybe he is not used to eating together in one container using hands that seem dirty. I deliberately asked Dion to chase after my mom and give her understanding. I deliberately followed behind but did not enter the room, deliberately wanted to know what complaints mama had during here so it looks unhappy, so that I could understand the feelings of mama.
"Well, why is it time to eat together with them mama just left for no apparent reason, not good with the others ma, the impression we do not want to join them," said husband.
"You disrespected them, you said, look what they did to Dion's mom, mommy as the wife of a famous businessman in this country, told to eat one place with all of them, not knowing old, old, young, even children become one, where lies the pride of mama if mama comes to eat with them," said mama with a very upset tone.
"That's the name of mama togetherness, mama can see there, the old, the young, the children, even the rich and poor, who are well-regarded like Mr. Sky and bu Dinda also joined. In this world our possessions and positions may be different, but remember that before God we are all the same. What distinguishes us is our deeds.
If you feel your position is higher than theirs, because you feel destined to be rich and have many possessions. Do you not be ashamed of God who has given you wealth in the form of property and health, remember all the treasures that you have are the care of God, if God is angry with you for always boasting about the treasure He left to you then God took back the treasure, - the treasure, then what can you do?, Now it's up to you, Mama, if mama doesn't feel as level as them, mama isn't as level as I am Yunian either. Because we were just like them, "I saw my husband leave the room at a quick pace and half-footed.
"I saw very forced mama also came out of the room and stepped into the middle room.
"Mom Retno, here mom is sitting near me, this is still an empty place, rarely we eat together," mama Dinda called out to the mama who was staring at the children fighting over the side dishes.
"Ma. This Yunian bring rice and side dishes for mama, mama eat at the table eat well, let Yunian accompany. I also hold my mom's hand to eat at the dinner table, I don't want you to feel depressed while you're here for doing something that doesn't suit your wishes.
"Mama's not used to eating in this way like aunty, maybe mama feels a bit foreign," I heard my husband Dion talking to Dinda's mom, maybe so that he did not take offense.
"It's okay son Dion, people's habits are different, if I often play to the orphanage there we eat together while sharing the style, the atmosphere is like this, very pleasant, " said Miss Dinda. I do not think behind the nature of the mappas-ceplos bu Dinda and pak Langit he has the nature of mulya and generous towards others.
