I am a mother with four children. Of course I want them to be happy, if they can they have to be successful people in order to make me happy in the old days.
All three of my children were married by my choice, I betrothed Dela to an established man. I set her up with my old schoolmate's son, I'm proud and I support the marriage.
My second and third children were the same, I tried to introduce them to women of rich descent. That I do so that they will live comfortably, my son does not need to work too hard because there is help from my daughter-in-law's family is rich. I always boast of my two daughters-in-law when I come to visit.
But when Arman my eldest son brought his future wife of choice. There I was disappointed, even though I had prepared a candidate for him. Arman's love was big enough that he rejected his mother's wishes.
"I've got a future ma'am, she's a kind and gentle woman. I want to live with her, a loveless household will not make Arman happy" Arman replied.
"really? Lookyour brothers! They are happy with their mother's choice. Nita is not the same level as Nara, much different. Nara is more everything, her legacy is also a lot," I said.
"Mom, but I don't like Nara. I think he's too old for me, a treasure can be found, ma'am, just so we work hard" replied Arman.
"You don't want to talk to your mother? Yasudah it's up to you. Mother will not care about your future wife. I don't want to consider it family" I said annoyedly, but I gave him a quick path of success, but he refused.
That's why I didn't pay much attention to Arman's little family, he only married the girl from the village who was still an honorary teacher.
I am tired of Arman who always protests, I also pretend to be good to Nita. Though behind Arman I was always annoyed and it was itchy if it did not disturb or prank my son-in-law.
I admit my son-in-law was patient enough, never against me. There was never a sound from him. Arman also never interrogated me, I think Nita is good enough to keep this behavior a secret, she might be afraid of my threats.
Of the many children I have, only Arman lives so. And only he lives in this city, making me only able to ask him for help when he was short of money, my husband has chronic stomach pain and is already unable to work. Until he died, the status of a widow was attached to me.

I was happy when Lebaran arrived, because my successful children would come to visit. They came with my beautiful and handsome grandchildren. They came in luxury cars, there was pride I felt when I saw all this, there was something I could show off to the neighbors. Being praised and praised is something that makes me happy.
I once said to come with my children who are out of town. But they always say dear if the house of their father's legacy is not taken care of, sold moreover.dilu I also justify their speech.
Until I got sick and Arman moved into this house. Arman and Nita bought the house, and I bought the rice fields to make a profit and did not have to buy rice.
Like this time, I eavesdropped and peeked at those who were fighting.
"Dec, this is a reward. You are sincere if you care for mom, not even like this! Mom's sick but you're rude like this. The patient Deck! his name is also a parent who returns again like a small child," said Arman.
"I'm sincere, but I've never been appreciated by you. For this matter, it's not what you think! you always blame me, your mother is a master of acting Mas," replied Nita full of emotion. She cried so much, especially when a hard slap landed on my daughter-in-law's cheek.
I'm certainly happy, I hope Arman divorces the woman. I also don't like my two grandchildren born from her womb, they all look like her mother. If only they looked like my son Arman, I would love them like my other grandchildren.
I always felt there was nothing to be proud of from my granddaughter who came from Nita's womb. Although the woman wanted to take care of me, but I'm sure that if she wasn't sincere, she must have wanted to.
Until one day Nita bullied me, she was so annoying. Should as a daughter-in-law always respect her mother-in-law, nurut, and do not neko-neko. How much the salary was to ignore me at home alone, should the woman stay at home. Poor Arman, he does not have much time to gather if the woman is indifferent and more concerned with her work.
I believe Arman was already uncomfortable with his wife, I only gave way to my son to realize that his wife was just a burden and not concerned with family.
I need to be able to separate the two of them, it's okay if Arman is a widower. I will manage her salary, certainly more useful in my hands as a mother who gave birth to her. He's my son, he's mine and the money is certainly my money, there's my right there.

This morning Nita tried to talk to her sister and mother. The woman recounted her complaints and asked for advice. Liana felt unworthy to patronize her brother, she was even a teenager and inexperienced in household.
"What about mom? If I haven't been able to give an opinion on the matter of Nita tea. I was afraid of giving the wrong answer. But for now Teteh do not have to worry about us, the money is still for the family who need more..!" liana.
"Liana's right, you don't have to send money to mom anymore, you can focus on your family and not have to worry about mom and Liana here. your money can be used to hire maids and nurses Miss Maryati while you and Arman work. You are also good if you go home already in a clean state," replied Ms. Ani.
I'm right, I hope it's a good start. May Mas Arman also change and better understand my current position, the inner Nita.
