Sorry for Lying to You, Mom!
2. Inculpation
Now Alesha is accompanying Rach to a meal. After preparing her husband's meal, Alesha was busy with her cellphone. Silent circumstances, no joke as usual makes Rach confused to see the change of the wife.
"My wife," call Rach.
"Hem." Alesha just cleared her throat without seeing her husband. The woman is still focused on the cell phone no matter if her husband is talking to her at this time.
"Alsha."
"Hem."
"Lesha, are you listening to me?" rach's voice began to rise, rising up the octave.
But Alesha is not going to be sensitive either.
Duk! Rach hit the table. Accompanied by Rach's stern voice, he says, "Alesha Princess Yuhandi!"
Alesha hurriedly put down her mobile phone and looked at her husband in surprise. Unusual his Rach yells like this at his.
Alesha's brown bead follows where Rach steps. After standing up, Rach approached Alesha. The man's hand picked up the phone which made Alesha not listen to him.
"What did you open?" rach said in his flat voice.
Alesha was silent in silence.
Rach only saw Alesha's search on Google, [How to Have a Child Quickly]. After finding nothing wrong, Rach puts his wife's phone on the table.
Then said in a soft voice, "Did Mom's words disturb your mind?"
With doubt Alesha nodded. "Mom said I should get pregnant this month too. And a search on Google is not helpful. Having sex and often eating healthy foods, we always do. But the child is still not here." Alesha hugged her stomach, the tears of the woman dripping profusely. She was really sad, the despair of her being together with her husband seems to be stopping until next month alone.
Seeing his sad wife, Rach approached, the man rubbed Alesha's back to calm her down. "Don't think about the child. How many times have I told you, the child is God-given, let God govern. We can only try."
"Until when is it? Mother will separate us if there are no children here," Alesha said in a hoarse voice, she kept pointing at her flat stomach that the baby did not fill.
"Splitting us?" Rach widened his eyes in surprise. "What right does mother have to do that?"
"See you, I don't know, but that's what mom said" Alesha replied.
Emerging rage in Rach because of his mother who does not know himself.
"Wait here first."
"Where are you going?"
"Take a lesson from Mom."
"Don't .." Alesha doesn't want any quarrels in her house. Especially with her as the cause of the quarrel.
"Mom should be taught a lesson, Alesha. We can't keep going. This marriage we start without coercion, we determine how we behave, not others" Rach explained.
"But she's your mother."
"Despite that? Honestly, I don't want you to be depressed. Moreover, as far as I know depressed can be a trigger factor for a woman not to get pregnant. I keep urging you to get pregnant, huh?" guess Rach.
"Ga too often. But when I was upset."
"What did Mom say?" Rach really doesn't believe his mother is that cruel. He knew this house belonged to his wife. Time because they (Rach and Sera(Mother)) as immigrants, the homeowner so uncomfortable with his own home?
"Mother always said, I'm a useless woman, can't make her husband happy by getting pregnant and giving birth to children."
"Indeed so real–" Alesha's words stopped. After Sera came with an arrogant voice and full of anger.
"Dare you slander Mother huh, Alesha. I've been trying to accept your situation, but you've been complaining not to your husband."
...************...
Shouts and yelling occur during these few minutes. Alesha's mother-in-law pointed out how easily she could pronounce cursing sentences. And that made Alesha even more depressed.
"What kind of hurt mommy for slandering you Alesha, like that also poor life awaits you! You won't be happy with this marriage. You will be separated with or without children! That's sure!"
"Mother!" Rach who before her protects Alesha now changes his mother's wound from anger.
"Don't do this Ma'am" said Rach sadly. "Don't curse our marriage, remember I'm your son's Rach."
"Ga'd like me to have a daughter-in-law like her. Now the choice is yours, me or your wife?!"
"What choice is this .." said Rach scratching his head dizzy.
"Mom can't be like that. We have our own commitment to this marriage, ma'am. So, I must not take too much heart. While we still have no problem with the presence or absence of children, Mother do not be too pushy. The age of the marriage we had just a year, still enjoying a courtship period after marriage," explained Rach.
"But what about all your possessions? Doesn't he need a successor? No one knows Rach, quickly have children, I don't think it's a challenge. I know your wife likes to increase income, but giving birth to children will color your life" said Sera.
"The matter of the successor, God has arranged Mom, don't think too much about it."
"But I'm worried later…"
"Shuttt," Rach closed his mother's lips. "Mommy must be stressed again because of less grocery money, right? Here let Rach addin, how much do you want? A million two or ten?"
...****************...
"You must be stressed, right?" ask Rach after Sera leaves them with the money Rach gave her.
"Very," Alesha said with a heavy voice.
"Let's go to yuk's room, I'll prepare warm water while incandescent your head."
Alesha who limp after the words of mockery and shouting from the mother-in-law, must be on the way Rach entered the room.
Rach makes Alesha soak warm water in the bathtub, some aromatherapy candles placed around the bathroom really refresh the mind.
While Alesha was soaking, Rach who was dripping shampoo on Alesha's head started massaging her head shrewdly.
"Have you started to relax, baby?" ask Rach to make sure.
"Yes, I'm relaxed. Very relaxed."
"I'm sorry my mother made that. Please don't put it in your heart. Don't believe the curse, just think of the good thing from mom."
If only you knew, your mother's kindness hadn't existed for a year we'd known, mas.
"Mas" call Alesha.
"What."
"What if our mother lived in a different house? Honestly for whatever reason, my mind never calms down if Mom is in this house. You can be a hungry lion, and pounce without being disturbed. My heart hurts, Mom."
