Sweet Memories
"Will we have enough money to pay the nurses? While the money from Kinan's mother was held together," asked Arman.
"There is Mas, mbak Kinan transferred money to pay the mother nurse. Mrs Kinan said it was to help our finances when there was a mother, in addition, he said. He also apologized for giving us the obligation to take care of our mother" replied Nita.
"Really Deck?" Tanya Arman tried to convince herself.
"Yes, let's go..!" The woman pulled her husband's arm to hurry away.

Nabila and Riki who find out if his grandmother has returned in a state of pain. They come to visit and bring some fruit and food. It was just the two of them, because Liana had not come home from college and Ani's mother was not feeling well.
Seeing the arrival of her two grandchildren, Maryati only smiled cynically. "You guys remember the same grandma" said Maryati.
Nabila was already feeling hurt and wanted to leave immediately, but Riki prevented his sister. "This we bring food Nek, hopefully quickly healed ya Nek. We decided to go home, because Ani's grandmother was sick and alone at home" said Riki.
"Indeed, you only care about Ani. Judah is home!" Maryati.
The two of them did not dare to answer again, nor did they say goodbye. Along the way Nabila complains with her grandmother's never-changing attitude. But Riki tries to give understanding if they must be patient and still respect Maryati.

When Nita and Arman arrive at their minimalist home. There was a noise, it turned out Maryati rampaged and threw the glass brought by Desi.
"Oh Neng, I'm afraid yes.., it feels like I can't take care of Maryati's mother any longer," complained Desi.
"Don't be so mad, please don't stop working here..! I beg you for a month, until I take a leave of absence," said Nita.
Desi's mother bowed down, she also actually needed a job for her child's school fees that would enter the school to the next level.
While Arman was already in his mother's room and began to ask about the incident that happened just now. "Mom doesn't like Desi Man, make sweet tea warm just tasteless. Even bitter Man," lamented Maryati.
"But you can talk well, no need to throw a glass, especially until it breaks. What if your mother's hand gets hurt by the shards of her glass?" Arman.
"I don't like her, anyway" Maryati replied.
"Here you go, ma'am, it's hard to find a nurse to trust. Nita already believes in Desi, only mother who must be patient in controlling emotions..!" Arman.
Maryati did not accept when her son even defended the nurse, she turned her body and laid her body on the bed. He pretended to be asleep to avoid the money trouble he made this time.
After Nita came, of course Desi pamit back home. Now Nita replaced the nurse's job, the job was lighter because before coming home, Desi had washed her mother-in-law. Arman also did not allow his wife to work too hard because she was pregnant.
"Mommy wants to snack. Make mom a fried banana yeah..!" Maryati.
Arman who heard that, then he told Nita to accompany the mother, he intended to buy to the fryer who was across the street there. Although at first the mother and child were arguing, but in the end Maryati also wanted if the fried banana was purchased not made at home on condition that it must still be hot.
As Arman leaves, Maryati starts telling Nita this and that. As if on purpose, he had Nita slide the small table in his room to and fro without seeing that his daughter-in-law was tired.
"Jaudah there. It was fitting," said Maryati.
Nita was silent, she only realized that the position of the table was the same as before. Then why did I move it, if not move it at all from the starting position? This mother is-there, inner Nita.

A month went by, and Desi was so happy that she got her salary today. He is also happy to be free from work that weighs on the mind. He does not feel at home Maryati who is chatty and likes to do anything she wants.
"Thank you Neng, mbak pamit," said Desi.
Nita nodded, today is her first day of leave. She wants to spend the day with knitting clothes for her future son. Early in the morning, Arman bathed his mother before leaving for work. The man did not want Nita to lift her mother from a wheelchair to the bathroom.
Arman's attention makes Nita feel happy. In this third pregnancy, her husband better understand her, find out on the internet about pregnant women. Arman always relented if his wife wanted something. Like it happened a few days ago.
Nita and Arman stopped by a meatball stall. "Mas, ko got you looks better huh. Yu Mas's wielder?" Nita said at that time.
Arman stared at his wife's bowl of meatballs with a horrified look. Many sauces and also the color is very red because many are given chili. But because he could not bear it, Arman also relented.
"Judah if Adek wants this one" said Arman with a smile, but he was very objected. For the sake of his wife and prospective children, he was willing to eat a bowl of super spicy meatballs. If not eaten will certainly be redundant, if taken home. Arman was afraid that Nita even felt bad for him.
Bribble by mouth the meatball entered his mouth until Arman's face was flooded with sweat.
"Mas, is the meat too spicy?" Ask Nita.
"Who is the Deck, can be added sweet soy sauce," replied Arman with a smile.
Nita actually knew that her husband forced himself, but seeing her husband's sacrifice she was happy. The woman took some tissue to wash off the sweat on her husband's face.
"I clean up, huh Mas? Thank you for wanting to finish this meatball concoction of your wife, hehe.." Nita smiled as she cleaned her husband's face lovingly.
Until the cry of Maryati who called her name made her beautiful daydreams scatter. The woman stood up quickly, afraid that her mother-in-law would need her help.
