SUFFERING WITH IN-LAWS

Whahuh? Kean Taken by Mama Linda?

It was late, and the employees had gone home.

Now we're just the three of us here. Me, Mayang and Kean.

Kean who had slept from the afternoon, now he was still sleeping with his beautiful dreams.

Sarah and I sat in the chair in front of my bedroom.

I started typing novels, while Mayang sat watching tivi while eating Snack that he had bought in indo April next to the shophouse.

"Aren't you sleeping, May? It's late." I said as I continued to stare at the laptop that was on my lap.

"Not sleepy, mbak. I'm still replying to Celvin." he replied with his mouth constantly chewing.

"Don't sleep at night, take care of your health" I said again by continuing to type.

"How about the mother herself?, is not she also often stay up late?," he said.

"You're this when you're told you for sure, always turning the word around." and then I sipped a cup of coffee.

After a few chapters in some of my ongoing novels, I decided to go to bed.

Now me, Mayang and Kean sleep together. Because this is a very moving moment for us. We rarely have as much time as we do now.

...****************...

Before the dawn prayer I woke up, I did my routine. Pray in the first third of the night. After that I continued with the morning prayers.

After the dawn prayer, Mayang said he was awake. And he followed me to perform dawn prayers.

Then I went to the room to see Kean, but he was still asleep. My morning routine is baking dough.

Now it's easier, because yesterday the ingredients were prepared in advance by Reni and Mita.

It has been a few days I made a cake assisted by Mayang. Yes.mumpung he's here, pretty good can you get free energy help?.

Now that some of the cakes are ripe, the clock on the wall has shown at half-seven. Marking after this my employees will come.

This time the one who came first was Kean's nanny, because the baby was still sleeping. Kean's nanny won't be idle. He swept the house and cleaned the furniture. If there is still time to cook. It was his own will to do it all.

Kean's nanny's arrival is followed by Udin's uncles Reni and Mita. They come together.

"Mit, here you take ahead. Just put it in the storefront. Let Uncle Udin open the shop." I ordered Mita.

"Yes, Mom." she replied. Then Mita brought the trays containing some cakes.

While Reni cleaned the window glass again, to make it look cleaner. Because this sells food, so the place must be clean and hygienic. That's what I always tell them.

The store was opened after the contents of the storefront were full, and thankfully my loyal customers have been standby from the store has not been opened earlier.

This morning I plan to visit the branch outlet in the mall.

"You have an event today with Celvin, May?" I asked, confirming my navy-colored Khimar.

"Indeed why, mbak?," asked Mayang while watching tivi accompany Kean.

"This morning, plan to go to the outlet. Who knows you're coming." I explained.

"I'm coming, mbak. But later there mbak tractir Mayang in Korean food restaurant yes mbk?," replied Mayang gave requirements.

"You are, if you want it, it must be spirit." My ledek.

"Yes already, the hunt gih change clothes!," I ordered.

Mayang walked towards the room to pick up his clothes. And now it comes out using the overall model game with colored pasmina in line with the game.

Looks very suitable at his age which is still easy.

"Kean invited, mbak?," asked Mayang.

"No need, because later mbak want to help mbak beautiful first. He's a mess, must be overwhelmed." I replied as I picked up the car keys hanging on the wall decoration.

Then we both left after saying goodbye to Kean and my employees.

"Sir, I nitip Kean ya." That's my every word I leave Kean with his nanny.

Mayang and I were in the car. I play music to relieve stress and to refresh my brain from the fatigue of life's problems.

"Ih... his song is really old, mbak?!," protested Mayang, then he replaced it with his favorite song.

"Yes!!!! since when are you ignorant like that?!," I said with a sharp look towards Mayang.

"But, mbk....! it's an old song. Sister Sarah should try to hear the song that is again a hit at this time. Let mbak not miss the hour..man. hi.." said Mayang by slowing his voice at the end of the sentence and followed by a horse's grin.

"You're saying, you're outdated?!, hmmm now that's how you go to older people, studying abroad. So it's lost its respect." I pretended to be angry with Mayang. Though this heart laughed out loud when it saw the face of Mayang frightened.

"Mayang means not that, mbak..," Mayang looks very scared if I'm really angry.

"I'm sorry Mayang yes, ma'am. Mayang didn't mean to offend Sarah." Mayang cupped his palms together.

Then I looked at her and laughed at the frightened face.

"You believe that you're going to be mad at you, May?" I asked by turning my eyes forward to look at the road.

"Ah... mbak Sarah is evil!!," said Mayang look upset, until he let out tears.

"Sarah's sister has the same heart as Mayang," he said again while wiping his tears that were already at the end of his eyes.

"Sarah's mom was just kidding. Sorry Sarah ya.." I said with a smile and my hand rubbed his head.

Although Mayang is already engaged and soon he will get married, but to me he is still a spoiled and adorable little boy.

And it doesn't feel like we're finally at the mall parking lot. I parked the car in an empty place according to the direction of the parking lot.

We also walked into the mall.

"Do you want breakfast first, May?" I bargained, because we both did not have time for breakfast at home.

"Later on, ma'am. Lunch, because it doesn't fit in my opinion. Korean food is eaten for breakfast" he said for many reasons.

"Alaaa.. ya said who?, if Uda hungry any food will be delicious. Only rice and salt. We have to be thankful a lot." this time Mayang I love wajangan.

"Ih.mbak Sarah cheated on the words of her mother" he said.

Those are the words that our mothers used to say when we were little. Because from childhood our lives are all deficient, but only material lack is not a lack of compassion.

That's what I'm applying right now to Kean, as busy as I am to make money. I'll take my time to play around and spoil her. So that I don't become a failed parent later.

Now that Mayang and I had reached the branch outlet, I hurriedly walked to the production area.

" Good morning Mother...,"

"For mom.,"

"Good morning mom,,"

Greet some employees who cross paths with me while nodding their heads.

I like the friendly attitude of my employees, because it is very important when dealing directly with customers.

I approached the beautiful mbak who was inserting a baking sheet containing cake batter into the oven.

"Where mbak Indah, everything is smooth right?," I asked mbak Indah while looking at the position of the baking sheet that has entered the oven. Afraid of her slanted baking sheet. Because if the baking sheet is tilted, the cake is ugly.

Now I help mbak Indah make cake batter, and mbak Indah in the oven. Mayang sat down at an empty table. Because it is still morning, so visitors are still not crowded.

At the outlet and shopped very different, if in the shop at morning it is very crowded buyers. Usually, people buy cakes for their stomachs when they want to go to work.

While at the outlet here, crowded at lunch and night. Because many mall visitors are tired and need a snack after shopping.

Lunch hour was approaching, Mayang came to me to the production site.

"Sir, she is hungry." whispered as she held her stomach.

"Yes, we eat ya." take me.

"Beautiful sister I live yes, this whole thing has stayed a little," I said.

"Yes, ma'am." she replied quietly and nodded her head.

I walked out of the production site, and it turned out to be true to my guess. By gini lunchtime, the outlets are definitely crowded.

I immediately walked to the restaurant that Mayang meant, and the restaurant was located not so far from my cake outlet.

When we arrive, we both go in and look for an empty seat. The restaurant is currently very crowded.

After sitting down, waiters come to us. He gave a list of Korean food and drinks menu.

"Sarah's sister, what message would you like?" asked Mayang as her eyes continued to stare at the menu list in her hands.

"Sarah's mother knows this kind of food" I whispered to Mayang. Because I'm ashamed that the waiters next to me heard it.

"Because? Sister Sarah does not eat?," asked Mayang with bulging eyes, maybe he was surprised if his mother is still a village.

"I'll go to you, May. You choose a menu of food that is suitable for the tongue mbak Sarah this village, yes." I said still with whispers for the same reason as earlier.

"Ooo.ok ok, ma'am. Leave everything to your sister." said Mayang with pride.

After choosing the menu and waiting for the food to come we chat about Mayang's life in Singapore. I also asked about his relationship with Celvin.

And finally the menu that Mayang had ordered came. Although the arrival is very long in my opinion, because this stomach worm is no longer willing to compromise.

We also eat Korean food, which according to my tongue is very strange food.

According to the tongue of my village, the most delicious remains mother's cuisine in the village.

"Indeed you often yes, eat food like this there?," asked Mayang who looks very enjoy the food of the handsome oppa-oppa country.

"If Mayang there eat it like this, yes where can Mayang pay the kost, mbak." replied Mayang while continuing to chew kimchi.

"Sometimes if Celvin takes me out to eat, I'll eat something like this. Sometimes also in Japanese restaurants, but more often in Indonesian restaurants. Because it treats my longing for the homeland." he replied while grinning the horse.

Drrrtttt

Drrrtttt

My phone rang, there was an incoming call. I grabbed my bag, and I took my cell phone.

Turns out a call from Reni, what's he calling me? Cook yes cake stock is empty, this is still lunch time.

"Hallo, assalamualaikum Ren," I said to Reni across the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam, Mom. Ma'am.. Miss Sarah." reni's voice sounded trembling and frightened.

"What's wrong, Ren?" I asked very curiously.

"Mom Sarah. Kean...Kean it's Ms. ..," Reni's increasingly indistinct remarks made my heart worry. Because Reni mentioned Kean's name.

"Ren, speaking of which is clear. calm down!! What's the matter?!," asked me in a slightly high tone because I was very upset with Reni who was not clear at all.

"Kean Ma'am... Kean." he said it again made me curious.

"What's wrong?," asked Mayang who was also confused to see the expression on my face.

I just shook my head to answer a question from Mayang.

"What's wrong with Kean, Reni!!! If you speak clearly!! Don't make me even more confused!!," this time the emotions have reached the crown.

"Kean was brought by his mother, Mr. Damar, ma'am." heard Reni's words as soon as my body felt limp like boneless. To stand alone her sense was very difficult. The phone fell on its own. The blood flowing through this body stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked Mayang who looked anxious when he saw my expression.

I can't answer Mayang's question, my current mind is Kean. I'm afraid Mama Linda will mess with Kean.

"Sarah's mother drinks first, so it's quieter," Mayang said as he thrust a bottle containing mineral water.

I immediately sipped it, then took a deep breath and threw it away. To eliminate the feeling of tightness in this chest.

"Now is Sarah calm?" asked Mayang. And I nodded my head.

"Now Sarah told Mayang, what really happened?" asked Mayang by holding both my hands.

"Kean, May. Kean took his mama mas Damar." I cried and Mayang moved his seat next to me and immediately hugged me from the side.

"Take it easy first, we go there to take Kean. Mayang believes there Kean will be fine, madam. There is no way mas Damar could bear to his own son." Mayang's words slightly calm my heart that is not because of this.

I drink back the bottled mineral water that Mayang gave me, so that this heart is calmer.
