Taking Care of Smart Acting In-Law (Empiring Ikhlas)

Pulang Kampung's

A few days passed, Nita got bad news about the mother in the village. She was agitated now that Liana's sister had told her that her mother was sick, even her sister had two days of permission not to go to school.

Nita tried to call her husband to let him know if she wanted to see her mother for a while. Taking two days off is enough, but not lifted.

"I'd better talk about this straight away at home, I have to make Mas Arman understand my feelings and let me go home" Nita murmured.

Arriving at home in the afternoon, after homework is done and is relaxing. Nita began to express her wishes. May the Arman allow it, the inner Nita.

"Mas, my mother is sick. I want to go home and stay two days there, and I'll let it go, won't I?" Ask Nita quietly. There are two children who suddenly focus on the mother's conversation.

"Well, what are the kids here, how's mom? They are still in school and certainly have to be provided with supplies, let alone mothers who depend on you" replied Arman.

"Two days, I want to look at you. It seems like my mom misses me too. I haven't been home in a long time" Nita said.

"Yes, but what's mother here?" Ask Arman.

"Well, Riki can take care of himself, Riki can cook eggs or instant noodles for Nabila. You don't have to worry, pity grandma there," said Riki.

Nita was so moved by her son who understood her feelings. Nita feels her husband is sometimes selfish, to just visit his mother, take care of his sick mother is very difficult but take care of her in-laws as if it is an obligation for Nita.

"Thank you baby" said Nita, stroking her son's hair.

"If also not papa kok left Mamah, later Nabila will help clean up this house," said Nabila.

Nita smiled, she was getting proud of her children. As if understanding her heart while her husband, her,

"Hmmm, okay kids can be left behind. What about mom?" Ask Arman.

"You can Mas, have someone take care of mom as long as I'm not around. Or are the Mas brothers who once took care of their mothers, after all their biological mothers too, is not the reward great Mas?" answer Nita. This woman began to be annoyed with the selfishness of her husband. Though his mother is equally important, his mother in the village is also sick. Why should I continue to take care of her mother? Isn't that mother's son a lot? Can't I take care of my own mother? Inner Nita.

"We'll talk about it later, Mah..!" answer Arman. Looks like Arman won't argue in front of his kids. He tried to stop the conversation.

At night, there was a fierce fight. "Didn't you feel sorry for Mom? he even had trouble walking" said Arman.

"You are next to Mas, why is it more important for your family while my family is not considered at all. Though clearly the Mas family is capable of loh, look at mebak Dela! My mom needs me too Mas, I miss my mom too. What you need to know, Mas's mother can walk even slowly and sometimes use a cane. No need to worry..!" Nita.

"What do you mean Deck? Obviously I can't do anything, watch your talk! That is tantamount to slander" replied Arman.

"I'll have Rini's tea take care of my mother for two days and I'll pay for it, I can't relax before I go see my mother" Nita said.

"Yes, it's up to you Dek" replied Arman resentfully. He went to the living room and slept there accompanied by the sound of television.

When morning came, Riki and Nabila already knew about her mother's departure this morning. They are happy and leave greetings to their grandmothers, if the school is off. surely they will come with the mother. For a long time also they did not visit there, especially Nabila who was so dear to the grandmother of his mother.

"Dear, Mama will tell you. You don't have to be sad, later if we have a school holiday, we can go to visit grandma" said Nita.

Nabila nodded slowly, Riki and Nabila were ready. They also left together, Nabila was escorted to school by her sister Riki. Today they left early so they could go together.

Seen Arman the husband was silent from earlier, Nita also let him. For Nita, the most important duty has been carried out, her husband is still getting service from her. The clothes he had prepared, the towel too, now the breakfast is still Nita prepared. Although Nita was in a state of annoyance, the woman would not forget her duty. Although sometimes when angry, Arman will ignore the food made by Nita and choose to buy food outside.

At around 8 am Rini tea which had been contacted by Nita by Nita, has now come. The arrival of the woman makes Nita can now go to her hometown, Nita is so confident in Rini because it is used to being called like this, whether it is babysitting or cleaning the house of the neighbors.

"Teh, take good care of me..! Teteh can go home if Mas Arman has returned," said Nita.

"Yes, you're calm, Nit, two days right? Teteh felt helped because it again needed money for school children," answered Rini.

"It's two days, but if there's anything, I'll call you again. Thanks for the tea, I say goodbye" said Nita.

"Yes, equally," Rini replied with a smile.

A few hours later Nita arrived at her mother's house. His eyes are now not strong enough to withstand the turmoil of haru taste because finally able to meet the mother after a long time. After marriage she became her husband's property, she could not come often, especially with her busy caring for her mother-in-law and teaching. 

Luckily her husband still allows her to work to ease the burden on her mother, even though Arman allows it because the Nita family does need extra money to cost Maryati's mother. So Nita has been working for her two mothers, she can never shop for clothes she likes or just buy powder she will choose the cheapest. He will attach importance to others first, he does have a simple principle of life is not concerned with style.

"Assalamu'alaikum., ." said Nita.

The voice of the people answered the greeting, and the door opened. "Sister..," said Liana hugged her sister. The only brother he has. The older brother who always encouraged him and helped him to continue school even in difficult circumstances like this.

After being satisfied to hug, they entered into Bu Ani's room. Seen his body that was once fat now turned thin, the last time Nita saw the mother healthy, but now his heart was so slashed to see his mother who lay weak on the bed.

Mother's body is very thin, do you eat right? Inner Nita.

Nita approached the mother slowly, she was afraid of interrupting her mother's rest. Nita stroked the hair that began to whiten thoroughly, as she remembered there was still her mother's black hair despite a few strands.

Yeah Rob, did I sin all this time letting mom get like this? I'm confused because I can't take care of my own mother, inner Nita.

His heart was so tight, he started to shed his cries without making a sound, he smothered his own mouth with his hands. Liana watched her sister and cried, Liana helped Nita up and went to the living room so that she would not know that they were crying for her mother.
