SUFFERING WITH IN-LAWS

Why Again?

"Mister!! Emang Mas Damar and his mama were from here huh?," asked Mayang who came from outside by holding Kean.

While Mirna's babysitter, walking behind Mayang while carrying a few bags of groceries.

Because this afternoon we want to go to mom's house in the village. With Mayang and Sinta, we plan to stay overnight there.

The taste of kangen is so great already piled up in the heart.

"Yes, May. How do you know?," I asked Mayang while taking Kean from Mayang's sling.

"So we passed in front of Mbak. But somehow the face of his mama mas Damar jutek once when staring at Kean." said Mayang while plucking slices of cake that I put on the guest table.

I just smiled bitterly at Mayang's words.

"What are they here to find, mbak?," asked Mayang while picking up another piece of chocolate cake.

"They came looking for trouble!!, ha ha ha!." I chuckled as I remembered what Linda and Mas Damar said. When they want to take me and Kean back to his house.

"You've been spending, too, haven't you, May?" I asked.

"Had a donk, it was complete in the shopping bag." he replied as he pointed at the grocery bag lined up in front of the television.

"What are you shopping for, May? how much?, "my eyes wide when I see a few bags of grocery bags.

"Yes the needs of the three of us and the needs of the mother and father" he said as he continued to chew chocolate cake.

Mayang really likes my cake, so it does not feel he has spent a few pieces of chocolate cake on the plate of the guest table.

"May, remember!! Don't eat a lot of cake. That's a lot of chocolate!," I said to commemorate Mayang. Just afraid that Mayang fat because it runs out a lot of chocolate cake.

But he did not answer, he continued to chew the chocolate cake.

I'm going forward to help Mita and Reni serve the buyer. I also replaced Reni at the cashier table.

Thank God, my cake lovers are growing more and more. My savings are increasing too. I plan to buy a house, even if it's not occupied. If you buy a house, there will be no harm. The longer the price of the house will go up.

Let me discuss this with Sinta. Because Sinta is the one who understands this better.

After the buyer was a bit quiet, because the lunch hour was up. I went back to the house, to prepare for my needs and Kean who will be taken later in the afternoon to the house of mother and father in the village.

My phone rang, when I opened it was a message from Sinta.

"Sarah, later in the afternoon we make leaving for the village?, I'm already impatient, Uda kangen very same house," a message from Sinta.

"Yes be!, you think you're the only one who misses your hometown?, I miss you too!!," I said. I also have a friend who comes from the same village. So we can go home together.

Then Sinta replied to my message with a cartoon sticker who chuckled.

"Sarah's sister's at home?" one message I opened accidentally. I guess the message from Sinta is still continuing.

But after I looked carefully, it turned out that the message was not from Sinta. New number with no name and no photo on his wa profile.

"Who is this?" though I don't know who he is, I should still reply politely. Because they could have my cake and bread customers.

"It's me Lidya, ma'am Can I meet Sarah now?" he replied very quickly. Maybe he's holding a cell phone right now.

What the hell is this? mama Linda and mas Damar have returned, now replace Lidya who wants to meet me.

The feeling is getting worse, and that's the question. Since when does Lidya keep my phone number?

All this time he's been very anti to what I've got.

"Sorry, Lid. I'm very busy today. Maybe next time!" I'll reply.

"Just for a moment, ma'am. Lidya please." Lidya sent a message with a hand sticker put together.

Actually I'm not too busy, because there is still about two hours before I leave for the village.

"Mom...Miss Sarah!," call Reni from the outside.

"What's the matter, Ren?." I turned my head back, towards Reni who was walking closer to me.

"Mother is looking" he answered.

I also scrunched up my eyebrows. "Who's Ren?" I asked very curious.

"Lidya, Mum. His sister, Mr. Damar, who often makes a scene here is Loh Bu." explained Reni.

"Just sent me a short message, and I declined his request. It turned out to have arrived here only him!," I murmured softly.

"Why, Mom?" asked Reni. Maybe he heard my not-so-hard words.

"Oh, there's nothing" I replied.

"Have he been told to come in, buk?" asked Reni.

"Yes, just tell him to come in." I replied. I was actually very lazy to meet with Lidya, considering what she had done to me.

"Assalamualaikum, ma'am." sounded the greeting as he was already on the doorstep.

Well, apparently now Lidya has made progress. To enter the house already want to say hello. Back then? where have I been she was.

"Waalaikumsalam, enter Lid." I replied.

"I thought you were still a plan you wanted to meet me. Turns out you've come here.What do you need? It seems really important." I said without further ado.

Because in my opinion, talking to someone like Lidya doesn't need much pleasantry. Better get to the point.

"I want to borrow money from Sarah" he said without further ado.

"Lidya see now Sarah's life has changed one hundred and eighty degrees. So it's time for Sarah to return my kindness back when she was living together at home." she continued.

"Huh? you mean by reply Budi, what kind of reply?!," I was surprised by this forehead I wrinkled.

"Yes, didn't Sarah used to live at home for free? eating is also free?, so now is the time for Sarah to change it all. Replacing all the good of our family to you, ma'am!" lidya's speech is getting worse. I don't know what he ate until he was drunk like that.

Not out of my mind with the mind of the Damar family. All on the weird..

"Oh my God, what was my dream last night. Why is today met with strange people like them." I said in my heart.

"I used to be your wife, so it was the duty of Mas Damar to give me sandang, food and board. Then why are you asking me to change?!," I said with a strange smile.

"Based on a strange thought!" I said in my heart.

"It can't be donk, ma'am. Even though you used to be his wife Mas Damar, you still have to change everything." he said again more and more make me emotional.

"Okay!!, now look! Who told you to come here to charge me back?" I asked.

"Mas Damar!," he replied calmly.

"Monday Mas Damar sent here, if mas Damar who asked for all his gifts returned. I will return everything without exception. As long as Mas Damar speaks directly. Monday I wait for his arrival at cafe Yy," I said.

"Ok ready, I'll bring Mas Damar here. Say yes.

"Now you're out of here!," I'll drive to Lidya while pointing to the exit and entrance.

Lidya walked out through the door I pointed at. And finally he died in this house.

What's with today? Why am I being approached by people who have given me bad memories in my past?

I don't know what story God meant to me, so I was reunited with people who were never good in my past. I'm sure there will be something wonderful God is planning for me and my son..
