Chequelek

The door of the room is open. Maryati opened the door, she walked with her cane. Instantly Nita felt shocked when she saw the scene in front of her, "Alhamdulillah.," said Nita at that time.

"Mom can walk with a cane? Since when is Mom?" Ask Nita.

"Since 3 days ago, of course you are happy. So that you are not repotinated again with mother," answered Maryati.

"Absolutely no nicotine coke ma'am. Don't think like that..! Nita is happy because she is healed" said Nita.

"That's it, so why are you knocking on mom's room? Noisy knows," lamented Maryati.

"Father ko Bu, Nita is just worried. Do you need anything?" Ask Nita.

"So, you can get water or food in the kitchen" Maryati replied, then closed the door again.

Nita felt bad when the spicy words came out of her mother-in-law's mouth, but she tried to shake things up. She knew that Arman's mother had been like that a long time ago, so she should have gotten used to it.

Nita is also grateful for the recovery of her mother-in-law, honestly she admitted that after she gave birth she could not afford to take care of the baby and mother-in-law simultaneously.

Nita returned to her room, when she was pregnant she was often sleepy. But, just now that he had arrived at the door of his room, there was the sound of knocking on the door. The woman walked towards the direction of the sound source.

When the door opened, he received a warm hug from Nabila. "Mama, Billa kangen..," he said.

"Yesterday also met, Mamah's house was deket. Hmm." answered Nita.

"Ih Mamah, Nabila just came home from school and continued to inget Mamah, I bought in rujak deh," said Nabila while giving a rujak he brought.

"Well, seger nih Bil. These days are suitable, thanks ya.." Nita took the package and immediately sat down on the chair on the porch of her house.

"Well, is grandma there?" Bisik.

"Yes, where is it not? If therapy is also the same, what is it?" Ask Nita while eating rujak.

"Ih Mamah, don't be hard dong. I'm males with a chatty granny. I go home Mah, Mamah will have to meet Nabila, help me do PR..! Hehe," said Nabila, he kissed the back of his mother's hand and passed away waving his hand. Nita just shook her head looking at her son's behavior.

Although their house is quite close, but Nabila would rather if his mother met him at Bu Ani's house than have to meet Maryati's grandmother. If Riki, he who started college is very busy with various campus activities. Nita also misses her son very much, she seems to have to go to her birth mother's house.

After spending a sour rujak, his drowsiness suddenly disappeared. The woman went to the kitchen to cook, welcoming her husband.

This third pregnancy did not make Nita feel overwhelmed at all, she did not have strange cravings. Her husband also turned into super attention, children separated home makes them more alone time. The husband and wife relationship is more harmonious, Nita feels more excited every day.

Even so, sometimes he also misses the laughter of his children who have grown up. Sometimes Nita comes to visit or Riki and Nabila who come to see his mother. The distance of their home is not too far, it only takes 8 minutes when walking.

That afternoon they ate together, Maryati also joined the dining table. Arman was so happy to see the progress of the mother, it was not in vain they sacrificed the savings they had.

As long as they ate, Maryati was more silent. Unlike usual who always chatty and protest even though it is trivial. Something made Maryati nag especially on Nita. Arman and Nita, who were astonished, began to ask Maryati about it.

"Mother gapapa, you guys are weird. Wouldn't you prefer that mom stay quiet like this? If you're chatty every day, your ears are sick, too" Maryati replied.

"Mother.., not so Ma'am. Arman was just worried. Is mom having a problem? Or want to buy something?" Ask Arman.

"So. If you want a lot later you dizzy thinking about the money that runs out. If you answered me you want to have a car, would you buy it? Don't you?" Answer Maryati.

Arman relented, it was difficult to ask his mother. Always answered ketus, whereas Arman and Nita are really worried.

A few weeks later, Nita's seven-monthly pregnancy was held. Arman held a simple event, the most important of which was the prayer of all. Maryati has also been running normally, she only needs to check her condition to the clinic every two months.

Bu Ani, Liana, Daffa, Riki and Nabila came together. They certainly participated happily in this event, they gathered and joked after the other invited guests had returned home. Daffa who seemed cold and indifferent, chose to go home on the grounds there was work.

They were so engrossed in chatting, Nabila and Riki had a fight because they had different desires.

"I want a little sister, so I can dance. If the guy must be a rich naughty brother Riki who always digerjain me," said Nabila.

"The girl is your rich nag. It's better for his brother to be a boy so I have his friend" replied Riki.

As they fought, everyone just laughed without even defending one of them. Maryati broke away, she felt uneasy and instead passed towards her room.

"Mom, eat first..! We eat together, right?" Ask Arman.

"So, I'll eat it in the room. You guys are noisy." answered Maryati. The woman went into her room and did not forget to lock the door leaving Arman who was still staring out there.

Arman doesn't know how to get his mother to reconcile with all of them. Arman felt his mother was still the same after being tested for the umpteenth time sick. 

Was it all this time that I couldn't make my mother happy? Was I wrong all this time, why did my mother still hate me, hate Nita, the children and Nita's family? Inner Arman.

While inside, Maryati cried in silence.
