Today was Sunday, the day we both would go to visit Mas Adnan's parents as he had promised.
I was actually afraid to meet Mom, it happened 3 days ago, but I was still imagined with the insults and insults that he threw especially in public places.
Now I'm a little scared to meet people, scared if they see me and recognize me. If I can choose I prefer to be at home instead of joining Mas Adnan go there. But back again, I was his wife, it would be rude if I didn't go there too.
To be as bad as Mother's behavior, she is my mother-in-law and I have to respect her. Later when I get there I just need to avoid eye contact with him, and there is no need to ask him to speak.
The clock has shown at 11 noon, soon we will go there, earlier when I asked how long we were there, he said just 2 hours, just enough, so I can breathe a little relieved, because there is no need to linger there.
Not feeling we had reached Mas Adnan's parents' house, I got out of the car and took the parcel I bought while on my way here. Not fancy stuff, just brownies and cookies at least we don't come empty handed.
Mas Adnan knocked on the door, it didn't take long for the door to open, this time opening his own mother, "Adnan! Finally you came too, I've been waiting since then, you know," said Mom excited and immediately embraced Mas Adnan, I who stood beside Mas Adnan not seen at all in his eyes, it's okay that's what I want.
While Mas Adnan was invited by Mom to the living room, I went to the kitchen to store the pieces I brought.
"Aunt how are you?" Sapaku when he saw one of the waiters in the kitchen.
"Non's good news" replied the Aunt.
"Sir, how many times have I said it is not necessary to call the frills Non," I replied scowling.
"Sorry Auntie yes, Auntie likes to forget" said Bibi with a sincere smile. "Raline played with Den Adnan again, yes" asked Bibi again.
"Yes Bik, take another day off."
"Why in the kitchen? Don't you sit with Den Adnan and Mom?"
"I want to help Auntie cook, miss cooking in this kitchen," my grin. It's just my alibi, rather than dealing with Mom I'd be better off here. Let Mom let go of her longing for her only child.
After getting the approval from Auntie, I immediately helped prepare lunch, Auntie said today Mother told me to cook a lot of food, maybe because there is Mas Adnan who will come.
There was a bustling sound coming from the door of the house, maybe it was a guest of Father and Mother, the guest had nothing to do with me, so I didn't have to go out to greet them.
The sound of laughter was heard again, there was the voice of men and women, the cooking was all cooked, because before I came the waiter had started cooking, and there was also cooking.
I was still reluctant to say hello to Mom so I told one of the maids to tell Mom that the cooking was ripe.
After the waiter's departure, I walked towards the back door, walked towards the back of the house and sat in the small gazebo in the corner of the garden.
In the kitchen already sounds crowded, I will not take lunch together, I will return to find an excuse if later Mas Adnan invites me to lunch with them.
"Kok you here who, let's go to lunch together," Mas Adnan's voice sounded from the doorway.
"You ate with them, but there were guests, right?" Reply refused.
"Yes, who came from a few people from my extended family, let me know you with them," Mas Adnan asked.
Grand family? As soon as I shook my head, "you eat first Mas, I'll just."
At our wedding alone they did not come, then why did I come to eat with them, which there I only looked for poisons from them.
"Why?" Mas Adnan asked and walked over to me, crouching in front of me who was sitting.
"Ga good with them, they don't like me," I replied slowly and lowered my head.
Mas Adnan pulled my chin up to face him, "there will be me, do not be afraid," he asked.
I shook my head back, "you go there, I want to be here."
"I want you to know them, I won't be there if you don't come" he said.
"Mas," call me. "This time, please understand my position" I continued to plead.
Mas Adnan looked at me intently, "yes, but next time you should meet them."
After saying that she stood up and walked in, I looked at her back with a sad look, I also wanted to get to know her family, but my condition was not possible, she said, Mom still doesn't like me until now especially those I've never met.
I don't know when they go I also don't know, to relieve my boredom I took out a mobile phone, maybe opening an online novel application can eliminate a little bit of my saturation.
I am one of those people who love to read, so whenever I have free time I will spend reading. Reading novels online is my best choice, because from the first if you want to buy a physical novel I do not have the ability because the price is expensive.
It didn't feel like I was here for an hour, and no one came back, just a few servants going back and forth, greeting me with a smile. Mas Adnan also did not see the trunk of his nose, he must have been busy chatting with family members, because it had not met for a long time.
During this time Mas Adnan never discussed about the family from the Father or Mother's side, I also never asked him, I don't think it's my realm to ask.
My stomach was already hungry, so I decided to stand up and go to the kitchen, but before I actually went into the kitchen I peeked first from the doorstep whether there were still family members left in the kitchen or not, and it turned out to be nonexistent.
I immediately stepped into the kitchen, I would first look in the refrigerator if there was still food or not, when I opened it turned out to be no more, there was only bread and some fruits, so I chose to take a loaf of bread and an apple. In the living room there were still people talking and laughing at each other.
After taking what I want, I'll go to the rear gazebo again to eat it, if I eat here I'm afraid someone will go to the kitchen and see me, I feel like a fugitive.
When I reached the threshold suddenly someone held my shoulder, I stiffened, and I tilted my head slightly to see the hand on my shoulder, it was the hand of a man.
I ventured to turn my head and when I turned my head the man's hand just slipped off, he was a handsome man, almost looking like Mas Adnan but his brow and jaw shape were different, but if standing next to each other surely many will think that they are brothers.
"Adnan's wife?" Ask the man. I nodded slowly.
"Lumayan also yes," he said while looking at me from top to bottom. I began to fear her gaze, afraid that she would utter unpleasant words.
I pushed back my body, but he held my arm, "where are you going? We are not yet acquaintances" he said accompanied by a sweet smile.
He stretched out his hand and asked me to shake hands, "Ardi, his cousin Adnan's brother" he said.
I received a helping hand, it seemed like he was a good person, "Raline," I replied. A few seconds later, our hands were released. I bowed a little and left in front of him. But again something stopped me.
"Honey," this time Mas Adnan's voice was heard.
I turned my back and stepped towards him, "I'm here again, Mas" I asked him.
"Yes, I'm still there" he replied. Then he looked towards Mas Ardi, "wearing you here," snide Mas Adnan.
"The intention is to take a drink, but instead meet the angel who is hidden again," replied Mas Ardi casually.
"Yes already there take a drink, why is it still here," said Mas Adnan.
"Maybe your wife too" said Mas Ardi with his gaze directed towards me. "Your message hides for over a year" he continued.
"Go!" Mas Adnan said loudly.
"Don't be stingy with your own cousins" Mas Ardi replied as if he were challenging Mas Adnan. Mas Adnan began to lose patience and pulled his collar and stared at him sharply.
"Mas!"my peek. This time I don't care if anyone hears my voice, which I fear only if Mas Adnan's emotions get out of hand.
I tried to release Mas Adnan's hand on Mas Ardi's collar, "Mas, off Mas," I said. But instead of releasing the squeeze on his collar getting stronger.
"Well, today is the first and last time you will see my wife" after saying that Mas Adnan released a check on her collar.
"From childhood we used to share, right?" Mas Ardi's remarks re-ignited the emotions of Mas Adnan who had subsided a little.
BUGS!
Mas Adnan's hand fell on his cousin's face.
"MAS! Shouts tight. Mas Ardi held his face which had just been hit by Mas Adnan. He still chuckles. I tried to see the wound on Mas Ardi's face but Mas Adnan first pulled my hand.
And before long the sound of footsteps approached.
