The beautiful scenery in the rice field makes Rili's mind a little calm, although she still hugs her very annoying Bou.
"Come down here, this is the rice field where we scavenge for sustenance. Later in the afternoon pick up Bou again!" said Rili's mother-in-law with a flick of her hand commanding Rili to go home.
"Yes Bou" said Rili nervously and smiling.
Rili pedaled his trunk bike. After a little away from her mother-in-law's rice field, Rili stopped her parking her bike on the side of the road. He also sat his ass on the grass on the side of the road.
Farmers grow rice. Birds chirping sweet. Rili closed her eyes, spread her arms wide, calm, peaceful, cool, and carefree, like the wind floating above.
Wide green expanse.Cold dew grain test. Decorate and stick
Refracted pearl luster. This is the atmosphere of the morning nature in the rice fields. Even the eyes feel spoiled by beauty.Terpaku never tired of staring at him wash away fatigue.
Cold air fills the chest cavity. Breath of a peaceful heart. This beautiful peace.
While staring at the vast expanse of rice fields that cool the eyes, did not make Rili's heart cool.
The story of his life comes back again. She did not expect a rich husband. He just wants to have a peaceful and loving life.
Her husband Rival should be in his category. But, because he found in-laws who hated him, so He was reluctant to open his heart to Rival.
Maybe if his mother-in-law was kind and fond, she would easily accept Rival in his heart.
Tears fell on his white cheeks. She was crying in silence. Yasir the man she loved so much left her just like that, with no news.
He married a man he did not love and had in-laws who he grudgingly asked for forgiveness.
She wiped her tears with her hands. But the tears kept flooding his face.
"Mom... Mother...! This is the happiness that I will get when I marry Abang Rival. Mom said I'd be happy. I'm tormented Mom!" he murmured in the heart.
In domestic life there is always a trial. If the husband is good, then sometimes this in-law is not good, or in-law. Or vice-versa. We have irresponsible husbands, but good in-laws.
Good husband, good in-law, sister-in-law all good. It could be a quick sustenance. The point is that everything should be grateful. Because life is not always smooth.
After feeling relieved, then Rili went home. Yes, the distance of the rice fields to the House is only 2km.
At home, Rili lay on the bed. He wants to call his mother.
Tut's....Tut's...Tut's...
First call is directly connected.
"Assalamualaikum ma, Mama how are you?" rili said with teary eyes. He wanted to cry so badly. To pour out all the pain she has experienced in this village.
"Goddessalam...Mom and Dad are healthy, son. What's with your voice, son? why is it like crying?" asked Rili's mother so curiously.
"It's okay Ma. Rili kangen with Mama and Dad, so Rili cried." Rili said, Yes, He misses his parents. But the reason He first cried was not because he missed his parents, but because his in-laws were always making Rili hang.
"Patience son, it's only been 3 weeks there. Where are your mother-in-law and father-in-law, son? Mom wants to talk. Especially your mother-in-law. Mother has never spoken. They must be okay with you, right, son? like good Rival, right?" asked his mother in a row with such happy intonation.
Rili was silent, He didn't answer his mother's question. Where could he tell me that his in-laws are like the attached Mak.
"Son,"
"Oohh iiiiyaa Ma" said Rili nervously.
"Where's your in-laws?"
"Father to the garden of Ma'am, and Mother-in-law to the rice fields?" answer Rili quickly.
"Where's Rival boy?"
"Abang Rival's gone to Ma's work." Replied Rili who was still lying on his bed.
"Geez, my mother's daughter-in-law was right. Two days married and working straight away. I'm sure son, Rival boy can make you happy." Said his mother Rili with a smile. Although not seen the smile of his mother, it is clear from the voice of his mother Rili, if at this time his mother smiles on the phone with her daughter.
Rili just kept quiet to hear his mother's words. If Mama knew how Rili suffered, how did Mama Rili react? Perhaps her mother would feel guilty for forcing Rili to marry Rival.
"Oh, son, I'll call you on the phone with Nak Rival. Is there something Nak Rival said?"
"There's no ma."
"Ooohhh thank goodness. Congrats....Congratulating
...!" said his mother by stroking his chest.
"What's wrong Ma? koq mama looks so scared?" ask Rili.
"It's okay son, oh yeah Mama turn off the phone. Mama forgot there was an appointment with Aunt Mirna. Mama's going to her house at 11."
"You're fine there, yes, take care of your in-laws. I'm closed, Assalamualaikum..!" Mama Rili immediately turned off her phone, while Rili was made dumbfounded by her mother's attitude as if covering something.
After calling her Mama, Rili was still lying on her back on her bed. He stared at the white ceiling of his room.
Tok...
The voice of such a crowd was heard from outside. Her voice was like that of more than one girl.
"Assalamualaikum! Sis..... Brother Rili....
a...!" assalamualaikum...!" The voice sounded very disturbing because the one who said the greeting shouted.
Rili walked out of the room and opened the front door. How surprised He found that there were 10 girls around the age of 14-16 years standing in front of the House with each other nudging.
"What's the deck?" asked Rili so kindly. He gave a smile so sweet that made the village girl dumbfounded.
"Geez, man,... Rival Brother's wife is very beautiful, slim, white, her eyes are a little narrow. Like the Korean artist we watched at Rani's house, right?" said the girl who Rili didn't know her name.
"Yes" replied the other friend.
"Our brother's in?"
"Oohh yes. Come on in!" rili said.
The girls seem to be looking for something.
"Sit down first, why are you pacing around?" ask Rili.
"Which sister's room?" say one of the girls.
"You want to take sister's make up. We're gonna wear it."
"Where are you guys going? koq wants to make up. It's only 11 o'clock. Aren't you at school?" asked Rili to the 10 girls who have now been seen sitting on the floor in the family room of Rival House.
"We've come home, come home early because of the Semester exam."
"Oohh!" answer Rili.
"Get me make up brother. If not, we'll break Abrik's room, you know!"
"What are you called?" ask Rili.
"My name is Rina."
"Alright Rina, wait for you here. I'll get it." Said Rili and went into her room to pick up her makeup kit.
That's the custom in Rival, if there are newlyweds. So the girl in the local village, will come to the bride and finish her makeup.
Rili gives her make up tools.
The 10-year-old girl was confused because they saw Rili's good makeup. Very different from the other bridal make up that ever came in the village.
Because of the habit of village girls must wear newlyweds make up, then usually the groom's family will buy cheap makeup and given to girls who come to make up.
Rival actually bought it, but this morning he forgot to give it because of an unpleasant incident at breakfast.
"Koq here's the powder, brother. It must be expensive, right?" ask Rina.
Rili was silent. Somehow the arrival of the girls made him a little happy. He felt that the girls were like an amusement.
"You can't use it?" asked Rili with a smile.
"Yes, brother." Answer them simultaneously.
"Alright, brother will make over you guys." Rili said with such passion.
" What is make over?"
"You guys will know too. Who's here first, make over?" asked Rili with a smile.
"I brother. I'm sis!" everyone's scrambling first on make up.
After almost two hours, the faces of the village girls who were dull, now look glowy because Rili's makeup is indeed of good quality.
"Oh my goodness, we don't know our faces anymore." Say those girls.
"Yes, you are beautiful." Rili is friendly.
Ting....
One SMS goes to Rili's phone. He's unlocked. Her husband sent her an SMS.
"Don't forget to eat and pray Deck!"
"Yes Bang!" reply Rili fast.
"Sister, we are very happy to know you. We are friends, brother. Don't ask for help with us!" Rina.
Rili held up her thumb.
"We say yes brother, Assalamualaikum!" they said simultaneously with the excitement while walking praising the results of make up on their respective faces.
After the village girls came home, Rili went ablution to the public bathroom. Then he prayed in the mosque. After the prayer he ate alone in the kitchen.
After eating, he washes dirty dishes, finishes the house. And he's gonna hang out at the bale-bale, waiting for the along-man to come. He wants to shop. The plan is he will cook stew chicken, chili fish and kale saute.
But, Rili remembered Windi. So he went back into the room and made a voice call with his best friend. Because it's still time for a break, Windi must have picked up the phone. Surely only one phone call was connected.
"Rili.... How are you?" windi said so excitedly.
"Don't say hello first, you're hysterical." Rili ketus.
"Eehhmmmm. who has split duren, koq becomes angry quickly." Windi.
"alright... Assalamualaikum Rili's?" windi mocked Rili.
"Walaikumsalam Windi my kind friend. Did I miss you so much?" Rili gemes.
"Why don't you ever call me? Call the cake, SMS cake?" asked Rili with a pouting tone.
"Haha.... How dare I disturb the newlyweds. As soon as you're all engrossed, I'll call you again." Windi said laughing.
"Where is that!" rili said.
"You mean you haven't got horses?" ask Windi kepo.
"That's a question what try? If you are married, it will be." Rili replied lying.
"Ooohhh." Windi.
Rili was silent. He's lazy to talk about the first night's problems.
"Have you given the Ring and the bracelet to Joseph's brother?" asked Rili a little carefully.
"Oohh that, yes. I've given it directly to the man?" answer Windi.
"What's? His guy? What do you mean you gave the ring and the bracelet directly to Brother Yasir?
"Did he come looking for me? have you met him? What are you guys talking about? Did Brother Yasir ask you many things about myself?" Rili said with a streak.
Windi immediately heard Rili's question.
