After Indah fell asleep from exhaustion crying, Andi came out of the room and met her mother who was sitting behind the house under the rambutan tree.
Seeing Andi come the mother pretended not to know and just kept chatting with Laras
"Buk, what the hell is wrong with Beautiful. Kok ibuk really hate him" he said directly while following sit in bamboo bale-bale
Laras melengos while playing his son's hand pretending not to hear.
"Mbak also followed the mother" continued Andi towards Laras. The barrel is still unmoved
"Wrongly that's you, already know his mother does not like ehh still just insistent on marriage" replied his mother sewot
Andi let out a heavy sigh and shook his head.
"Now Beautiful has become my wife, like it or not, she has become my daughter-in-law" replied Andi with a slightly raised voice
"Get your manners Ndi" cut Laras quickly
"The bus is the same mbak Laras just the same, want to be respected but can not respect others. Beautiful crying buk, he was offended by the treatment of mother earlier"
"Smuch stupid" replied the mother
"Astaghfirullah" Andi stroked the chest
"We're here because I want to bring Lovely closer to our family, but what we got. We haven't been here for a day, but my mother has done it. If you know this, I will not bring Beautiful here" Andi regretted
"Yes have taken your wife there to leave, you think I thought she was in this house" replied the mother was no less fierce.
"Tomorrow ma'am, tomorrow morning we must have left this house. Mother take it easy, we won't be here long" Andi replied as she got up and left them.
Bu Mira and Laras stared at Andi's back who was walking away from them.

The sound of knocking on the door made Beautiful who had just woke up looking at the door. From the window she saw that it was dark. But to get out of the room he had no courage. Shake Andi's body so Andi wakes up and opens the door. But Andi just squirmed. Finally he got up and opened the door.
"It's almost maghrib mbak, don't you want to shower?" nina asked as soon as she saw the beautiful face. Beautiful biting her lower lip. There was a nervousness in his eyes.
His body clearly felt stifled. Moreover, it was added a long trip with a motor as well, it is certain the dust stuck in his body. But to go back and meet again with his mother-in-law, he felt unable.
Unexpectedly, Andi appeared. "Begging for Nin's towel, give it to your mother" he said.
Nina nodded and soon passed, before long having appeared again with a towel in her hand.
Beautifully took the towel and looked doubtful at the husband. Andi understood the meaning of his wife's gaze, he pulled Beautiful's hand and took her to the bathroom.
Before getting to the bathroom they had to pass through the living room where there were his parents and brother-in-law, Laras' husband who was playing with Raffa.
It was beautiful to keep her head down without even looking at them. Bu Mira stared while sneering at him. The behavior was caught by the eyes of her husband, Mr. Hermawan.
Andi waited Beautiful outside the bathroom, with lightning fast Beautiful shower and immediately out of the bathroom, then they both immediately returned to their room.
At dinner time, Nina knocked on the door again. This time it was Andi who opened it. After delivering her father's severance to Andi who invites them to dinner, Nina passes.
"No eating, I'm still full" excuse Indah
Andi shakes. "We ate together, you ate very little this afternoon"
Bak did not side with her, when it was Beautiful stomach kicked. Andi smiled at him as soon as he heard the sound of his wife's stomach rumbling. Beautiful smile shy towards Andi and immediately rise tailed behind Andi.
At the dining table sat the other members. It looks so beautiful. Andi immediately took the rice complete with side dishes and gave it to Indah.
Everyone ate without anyone making a sound. Many times Lovely gulped down water to help her swallow food. Really, the food was hard to swallow. Moreover, seeing the cynical gaze that the mother-in-law increasingly makes it seem as if forcing to swallow the food.
Finished eating Andi invites Indah to sit in the family room. It was beautiful just to watch Nani play with her niece. There was a sense in his heart to play with Raffa, but he was afraid later Raffa was taken Laras. Be he just saw Nani and Raffa play.
"We wanted to stay in their house, but we both agreed to contract" replied Andi.
"Beautiful son bontot, so the mother wants us to stay at home, stay with them. But we do not want to or refuse, but we want to be independent. Once we got married we wanted to have a household of our own, so we could feel how hard it was to be happy living together. If at the house of in-laws, we stay delicious" continued Andi.
Laras turned his head towards Andi and felt like he was being shunned. Because at the age of her marriage that has been almost four years she still lives with their parents.
"Well, what's the house in Merasi for? empty dong. Never mind, do not have to contract just stay at our house, money to contract it better you save" the advice of the father.
"Andi's right sir, mending him contract only" said the mother
"Did our house go empty?" said mr. Hermawan.
"It is better to be empty sir, than to live in Andi and his wife" he replied.
"Astaghfirullah" Nina and her father were together. Beautiful looking deep. He doesn't care about contracting anywhere. What matters is that she is with her husband. But hearing the answer of the mother-in-law who was so fierce, unabated it further hurt his heart.
"Just Andi and Indah live in our house, can not contract. The house if empty will quickly be damaged, and become a ghost nest" replied Mr. Hermawan rising.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment until Andi finally made a sound
"Thank you for your offer, but it seems like it's better that we contract, sir, it's safer for all of us"
The father resigned after hearing his son's answer. After sounding the adhan isya, Andi invited the wife to pray immediately and left the room whose aura was no longer conducive.
Finish their prayers go straight into the room and sleep.
Early in the morning, after the prayers of the Andi and Indah prayers immediately took a shower and prepared to go back home. The plans of those who will stay their two days are canceled because of the non-conducive circumstances.
After finishing, Andi immediately tore his bag out of the room and headed for the kitchen to take out the motor and heat the machine. It was beautiful sitting in the living room with Nina.
"Kok just semalem anyway mbak nginepnya, right we have not many stories" whined Nina
"Later if you come back here again, mbak promise will stay long and we have a long chat. okay?" say Beautiful to the sister-in-law
Nina understood very well why they came home quickly, even though their plan was to stay two days there
"Sorry mom" said Nina
Indah nodded and replied "I'm not wrong, mbak wrong, mbak can not cook" he replied with a small laugh.
Shortly after, Andi appeared, followed by his parents. Immediately Indah got up and followed Andi kissing the back of her parents' hands.
The father-in-law smiled warmly as Beautiful said goodbye. But unlike the case with the mother-in-law, her face was still sour even when Indah stretched out her hand to shake her like ogah-ogahan reached out her hand.
Nina immediately hugged Indah as the sister-in-law said goodbye to her. Then finally the couple rode in a motorcycle and immediately left the big house of his parents.
...++++++++++...
Their plan to contract was approved by Pak Ahmad and Bu Siti, although initially the parents of Indah were so heavy to release the departure of their youngest child, but they did not have the right anymore. Beautiful has become the right of her husband now. They only give their blessing and support whatever they will do.
A week later Andi who was escorted by his in-laws and brother-in-law finally left the house of Mr. Ahmad heading to their rented house. A comfortable house and a fairly crowded environment, it is not far from their home.
After the freight car stopped in front of the contract, the brother, Andri, assisted by some of his friends immediately lowered new furniture to be placed in the contract. Beautiful and the mother arranged and arranged the room, Mr. Ahmad made a stove table with the help of Andi. While Andri and his friends arrange wardrobes, install electric lights, pair gas hoses and sweep the house.
Not felt, three hours everything was in order and now they sat down to enjoy the lunch they had brought from home.
Once it is enough, it is time for Mr. Ahmad and the others to say goodbye. The mother has no power to stem the tears when she hugs Beautiful. No doubt it makes Beautiful follow crying.
"And not far away" said Beautiful to calm the mother.
The mother nodded, after shaking hands and saying thank you finally Mr. Ahmad and others say goodbye home.
Now all that is left is beautiful and the husband. They smile at each other and begin to correct anything that feels not right. They are grateful that they can finally be independent.
