SUFFERING WITH IN-LAWS

The Effort of Mas Bima Declines

Arriving home, Kean slept well after performing the ashar prayer. Maybe he was too tired to fall asleep quickly.

I started cooking for dinner later, before Bima came.

I have to behave as usual, so that Bima mas do not know about what I already know.

This time I cooked Bima's favorite menu, which is Padang squid saos.

The fragrant smell of the spice really makes the stomach more rumbling.

After the cooking is finished and has been held on the dining table.

I immediately took a shower and dressed as usual. And wear nice clothes, if in the house I take off my long Khimar.

So that my long shoulder-length hair is beautiful.

The hour is five in the afternoon, soon Bima will come.

Now I sit on the living room sofa to wait for the arrival of Bima mas.

While typing my online novel through a mobile phone. Because you want to take a laptop this step feels heavy.

Just got a chapter, suddenly the sound of Bima's car into the garage.

"Assalamualaikum" said Bima salam while opening the door of the house. Because I accidentally didn't lock the door.

"Waalaikumsalam," I replied as I stood up to greet Bima, and kissed the back of Bima's hand.

"You're so pretty, baby." whispered Bima.

"Thank you, ma'am." I replied as I praised my beauty.

"Which princess, mas?" asked me while looking behind Bima mas which is indeed no Princess there.

"Princess sleeps at mother's house." replied Mas Bima. Who walked towards the room, and I followed him behind with a bag belonging to Bima mas.

"Mas Bima want to take a shower first?" I asked while unbuttoning Bima's gold shirt.

"I took a shower, and then I ate. Already hungry!," said mas Bima while pointing at his stomach.

Mas Bima went into the bathroom, and I prepared a change of clothes for her.

After I put my clothes on the bed, I left the room. To step into the kitchen to make coffee.

"What cooking are you, baby?, how does the smell make my stomach more hungry?" asked Bima while inhaling the aroma of cooking I cooked.

"Look at me, mas. Sarah is sure you'll like it." I answered while stirring the coffee I just poured boiling water.

"Waahhh. You are very smart to spoil me." said mas Bima when opening the hood of food on the dining table.

"Not only are you smart in bed, you are also very smart in the kitchen. I'm not wrong to make you a wife. It's beautiful, sholehah anyway." mas Bima began to let out his chatter, honestly which woman is not drunk kepayang hear the chatter-gombalan mas Bima. I just like invited to float when Bima mas praise me with his sweet words.

"Thank you" I said with a smile.

Mas Bima thrust a plate at me, and I immediately spooned the rice for him.

"Enough, dear." said mas Bima. Then I gave him a few spoons of Padang squid saos on top of his rice.

"Awhile I call Kean first, mas." I said to mas Bima when mas Bima spooned his mouthful rice.

"Kean, let's eat!, in wait for father!," I said to Kean who was still lying on his bed.

"Yes amma." Kean hurried to his feet and walked towards the dining table.

Now the three of us are eating together, what an incredible happiness I never felt before.

"Amma, Kean is done. Kean's dirty dishes put them in the back, huh?" asked Kean.

"Yes, son." Kean was used to finished eating directly he cleaned and the dishes used to eat were immediately placed in the sink of the dishwasher.

"You don't add, mas?," I asked Bima.

"May, baby!," Bima put the plate, and I spilled the warm white rice again not to forget the squid I cooked earlier also put on the plate.

"Your cooking never fails, baby. Make me add more, add more and more." he chewed his food while his eyes looked at me. I just smiled at him without saying anything.

"Oh, baby, I missed my phone. You see where there is?" asked Bima to stop her chewing mouth.

"No, Sarah didn't see her mas." I replied, pretending not to know. So that Bima mas does not suspect that I have opened his cellphone.

"Let's find it yourself after this." replied Bima mas while finishing his meal. The remaining one spoon of rice feed is plated with Bima mas.

After the last mouthful came in, and it was swallowed anyway. I get you a glass of water, and immediately I give it to Bima mas. He took it and drank it immediately.

"Alhamdulillah.," he said after finishing drinking a glass of water.

"Yes, mas. Sarah's done this first." I pile up dirty dishes leftovers. And Bima immediately rushed into the room.

After I finished washing the dishes, I headed to Kean's room. To see my son's activities.

And it turns out he's asleep, maybe it's soy sauce. Because I didn't take a nap.

Then I walked after Bima who was still in the room. To pretend to help find his cell phone

I know where the phone I put was.

"Have met, ma'am." asked me from the door of the room. And it turns out that Bima's mobile phone has met. It looks like he's talking on his cell phone, but I don't know who. Until he didn't hear my question

Then I sat on the lip of the bed to wait for Bima who was talking on the phone to turn my back on me.

"It seems that Bima did not know my arrival" I said in my heart.

"Sarah?!, have you been here?!," asked Bima surprised, as he turned his body and saw me sitting behind him.

"Yes, mas. Looks like you're seriously on the phone, so I don't want to bother you." I said.

"Hmmm.it's actually a call from the kids at the store. They had to re-recap the expense and income reports of the store. And it turns out that my store is currently losing a lot of Sarah's money and needs a big injection of funds. Because it was a new item that came from the factory, the price rose very drastically" said Mas Bima with a lethargic face. It looks like a lot of thoughts on his face. Then Bima sat down beside me.

"Patience, mas. Maybe it's our test. The important thing is that you keep trying." I said encouragingly to him.

Then Bima shifted her body away from me, and she put her head on my lap.

"I'm sorry, if at this time I still can not give you a living born for you" said mas Bima with teary eyes.

"It's okay, ma'am. My salary at the shop, inshaallah is still enough to eat us every day." I am very sorry to see Bima, fortunately I have my own income. So even though Bima's business was a little shaky, I still have entry.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. I promise that the state of my shop is back again like before, all store results let you handle." said mas Bima while staring at me.

Then he sat down from his sleep and he hugged me tightly. I pat gently on the back to strengthen the heart of Bima.

"Today I'm so tired, baby. I want to rest first." said Bima while shifting her body to the middle of the bed.

"You rest first, ma'am. Sarah's not sleepy. Sarah wants to see Kean first." I said goodbye as I stood up from my seat. And Bima answered with a nod of his head and his eyes were closed.

I got out of the room, and I closed the door.

Actually my purpose was to leave the room, besides to see Kean, I also wanted to type my online novel.

After looking at Kean and fixing the blanket on his small body, I immediately came out of Kean's room.

The sofa in front of the television, my most comfortable place. I don't know why if I'm sitting on this couch. This story idea of my brain flowing on like there's no breaking up.

Sometimes in an hour I can get two thousand more words.

I started typing my online novel through my mobile phone, pouring out the story ideas that appeared and that I had designed before.

Two hours of typing, thank you four more chapters I've got. Now the sleepiness has come to me.

After up the chapters I've made, I immediately turn off the phone.

Then I followed Bima who had fallen asleep first. When the foot will step, again there is the sound of a car stopping in front of the house.

I'm still curious about the car, it's been parked tonight sir Edi's car in front of my house.

I peeked again from behind the curtains, it was still the same as the one last night. With the same woman.

Although not visible face, because it is the situation outside dark. I can still recognize her body, she's the same woman as the morning woman that Edi brought.

"What did Edi do with that woman? is he his son?" I asked in my heart. Because they look different ages very far.

Now they are gone from my sight, and again the car is still parked in front of my house.

I immediately entered the room, because this eye was no longer able to compromise.

Mas Bima looks very sound sleep, a small snoring sound in my ears.

I spread my body and immediately closed my eyes whose power was only a few more Watts.

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

Two o'clock in the morning I woke up. I walked to the bathroom to get water.

And I'll do night prayers immediately. In my evening prayer, I asked God for guidance on my home life that I am now living.

At once I sat down on the prayer mat on this silent night. There was only the sound of the clock hand spinning and the fine snoring of Bima mas accompanying me.

What a silent night, a very fitting atmosphere to cry for mercy and pray to the owner of the universe.
