A few days after Lis's mother stayed at Titi's house, she fell ill.
My mother has a history of diabetes.
Mothers often consume drugs also regulate their diet to reduce their blood sugar.
During the mother's illness, the mother lived with sister Ruby whose house was not so far from the mother's house.
" Pay, we will run out of maghrib to Ruby's sister's house to visit her mother." said Titi change invite Ari to see her sick mother.
" Yes may, we will go there" said Ari who agreed to Titi's invitation.
" Then I want to take a bath first, it's sultry and sticky all the taste." said Titi who took a towel and prepared to take a shower.
" Yes, pay wants to spend a cigarette first, just take a shower" said Ari who was sitting at the dinner table and smoked her cigarette.
Titi and Ari had not been home long since the office, because they were doing a lot of work so they went home later in the afternoon.
" Same brother has taken a shower? " ask Ari to her two children who have just come from Tuti's house.
Nanda and Andi are indeed entrusted to Tuti's house if Ari and Titi come home late in the afternoon, because Min's union is already living with Titi's mother, so Ari's two children are entrusted to Tuti's house.
" It's been pa, brother and sister are taking a bath at aunt Ntik's house" replied Nanda.
" Yes already, already want maghrib, do not play outside again, later we will go to the bude house" Ari said to his two children.
" Yes pa, you want to watch television" said Nanda and then walked into the living room to watch television.
After Titi finished the bath, replace Ari who went into the bathroom to clean herself.

" Sister, adek, wear a jacket first son, it will be cold." Titi said to his two children.
After finishing the Maghrib prayer Titi and Ari prepared to go to Ruby's sister's house.
" We're going to Bude's house, ma.? " ask Andi on Titi.
" Yes, we will see the state of the grandmother who is sick. " replied Titi while putting a jacket on Andi.
After everything is ready, Ari drove his motorcycle towards Ruby's sister's house.
π¦π¦
" Assalamu'alaikum. "greet Ari and Titi as they enter Ruby's house.
It just so happened that Ruby's door opened a little, so they went in and said their greetings.
" Waalaikumsalam. "the answer that is in the house.
Titi and Ari approached the mother lying in the living room, then greeted and kissed the back of the mother's hand.
" How's mom doing, brother? " ask Ari at Ruby's sister.
" His blood sugar is still high, even though he has taken medicine from a doctor" replied sister Ruby.
" So how, do you want to be taken to another place? " ask Ari again.
" We've seen these few days, if there's no change we take mom to the hospital" Ruby replied.
Ari looks sad to see the state of the mother who looks weak.
Mom does look healthy, can still be talked to well.
" Mommy likes to be stubborn, she likes to eat foods that are challenged" said sister Reni.
" Do not ma'am, if the mother wants to be healthy, the mother must follow the food recommended for the mother, which is prohibited the same doctor do not eat." Ari said to her mother.
" When you get tired of eating such food, you want to eat something else" said the mother.
" Later if the mother is cured, the mother can eat as usual, but should not be excessive because the mother already has a sugar disease and the mother's sugar levels are high" said Ari persuaded his mother.
Mother just silently listened to the words of her children who asked not to eat carelessly except for what the doctor had recommended.
" What cooking, brother..? " ask Ari at Ruby's sister.
" There is no cooking, there is only anchovy sauce mixed with tempeh, if you want to eat, burn fish first, in the refrigerator there is fish bawal." replied Ruby.
" May, would you like to burn a fish, please? we eat here "Ari told Titi.
" Come brother, we burn the fish" Ana told Titi.
Titi and Ana go to the kitchen to cook.
Ana removes the fish from the refrigerator, then washed and salt-dried, while Titi prepares a cauldron to burn the fish.
Titi gave a little vegetable oil to the cauldron so that the fish did not stick, after the cauldron was hot, Titi put the fish into the cauldron and covered it with a lid of the pan.
While waiting for the fish to mature, Titi and Ana prepare the sour sauce.
Javanese acid, cayenne pepper slices and onion slices are placed in a bowl, given a little water and salt and stirred.
Not to forget, Titi flipped the fish in the cauldron.
Ana prepares rice and sambal teri mixed tempe as well as plates and glasses for dinnerware.
" Have you cooked the fish, may? " ask Ari at Titi who follows into the kitchen.
" It's already pay, it's just another one and it's almost ripe" replied Titi.
" Brother Ruby, the fish is ripe" Ari said to her brother.
" Yes, just eat, take the children to eat all together" said sister Ruby.
" Well, take Nanda with Andi to eat. "said sister Ruby to her husband who was playing with Nanda and Andi on the front porch.
" Same brother adek, eat first, yuk. "give mas Seno to the two children Ari.
" Yes, sir" answered Nanda and Andi, then walked towards the kitchen.
Titi and Ana have prepared dinner for them, and for mother has prepared food that has been prepared Ruby's sister.
Titi prepares ice water for Ari, because Ari always drinks ice after eating.
" Ma, adek want the fish." Andi said while giving up the plate that had been filled with rice.
" Here deck, eat the same fish pakde. " said mas Seno who sat near Andi.
Mas Seno is close to Andi, and is like his own son.
Andi did not ask for fish from his mother, but took fish from a plate near Mas Seno.
All look ravenously fed with grilled fish, only Titi and Nanda eat with anchovy sauce.
Nanda does not really like to eat fish, especially just burned and dicocol with sour sauce.
Similarly, Titi, even though he has been married to Ari for several years, but Titi does not like to eat grilled fish as the Ari family does.
" Sister, eat the fish" said Ana who saw Titi only eat with anchovy sauce.
" Yes An, this is enough" Titi told Ana.
" Sister Titi doesn't like to eat fish like this, An. "Ari told Ana.
Ari knows that Titi's tongue is difficult to adjust to foods that she does not normally eat, and Ari understands that.
" So good, sweet fish" said Ana again.
" Already, sister is quite the same sambal teri aja." Titi said to Ana.
Finished eating together, Titi and Ana tidied up where they ate.
Titi put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and washed them immediately, while Ana swept and mopped the floor where they had eaten.
Titi is used to it, if she eats at her family home Titi will immediately wash the dishes so as not to bother who has a house.
Finished cleaning the kitchen, Titi and Ana join the conversation in the living room with the others.
I fell asleep after taking the medicine.
Almost ten o'clock in the evening, Ari and Titi say goodbye to Ruby's sister's family to return home.
