Talak After Shah

Talak After Shah
The House of Mama Ningsih



"Embah, ma'am, yesterday I joined maen's father with daddy's girl"


Mikail spoke without a burden on her mom as everyone sat down leisurely after dinner.


Yes, this time we returned home after 4 times Lebaran did not go home.


I was cleaning the table from the former coffee this afternoon suddenly stopped my hand that was about to reach for the glass.


I reflexively turned to Nina who happened to be looking at me back then as well.


We looked at each other meaningfully. Then I went back to my routine and went to the kitchen.


"When brother?" Nina asked


"Ah already, what the hell" Andi replied


"father's pie" Mikail even teased her father.


"Hah, it turns out that the look of the alim pretentious can also be a land crocodile" Joni times that sound like insinuation.


Andi did not express herself to hear her sister's words.


"call not your father's girl?"


Mikail was silent, confused as to what to answer the question.


"Aren't you pretty?" nina again asked


"Beautiful, blonde, pink dress"


I smiled wryly at the answer.


Nina glanced back at me. I pretended I didn't see the lights.


"Yo must be ayu, wong my son is not handsome"


I had the privilege of hearing my mother-in-law's answer. I didn't think this was their reaction. Instead of advising, they defended.


"What a bus, mas Andi is wrong, should be advised mas Andi, not even flattered" Nina bobbing heads.


"Loh, did your mother miss nduk, wong reality mamas mu ki nggannteng, yo must wokeh seng fancier"


"You are mentally prepared" Mbak Laras replied while sneering at me.


Rabb, I would love to feel like I am crying right now. As strong as I can bear do not let these tears that have been shed. No, I can't cry. Can't do.


"Yuk son, we're sleeping" asked me to distract them.


"Where are you sleeping?" Maria asked as cynically as she used to.


I was silent, I was confused too. In this house there are four rooms and it has all its inhabitants.


"In my room only mbak" Nina replied


"Where fit Nin, his son a lot. You want to sleep on the floor?" again Mbak Laras said cynically.


I breathed a rough breath, looking very disappointed in the attitude of Andi who was just silent.


"In my house" replied Mbak Ningsih who suddenly appeared from outside.


Soon he came in, holding Adam who was asleep near me sitting earlier.


"Take my aunt's bag" he told Dimas who also went in with him.


"Look Ndah, you sleep in a house mbak, the house mbak is also large, there are three rooms, used only two rooms, there is one that is empty"


The tears that I had been holding back had finally broken down on my cheek.


"No cuddle buk bag e aunt" Dimas out from the inside


"Golek neng barn kak, biasane mbahmu ndeleh neng kono every aunt mu rene"


Pilu, obviously my heart's plight. Indeed, since coming this afternoon, our bags were told my mother-in-law to put in the warehouse.


It was re-branded and before long it had appeared with our big bag of clothes. He seems to mind taking her.


"Bring this bag to our house well" he told Indra who was waiting outside.


"Ayok Ndah, sister and sister e yo"


Dimas nodded and grabbed my son's hands and took them out of my in-laws' house.


"I'm the place where Ningsih buk" said I.


...****************...


Both my sons fell asleep in his mother's house. Buk Ning if you say my kids call the bukde.


After making sure that my children were asleep, I came out of the room and joined Ningsih and Indra who were watching television.


"We heard all the talk at the mamak house earlier" mbak Ningsih opened his voice


"What is mbak?" much


"On Andi"


I breathed deeply. Long time I was silent, I was confused what to answer. Indeed, as long as I know, he seems to regard me not as his brother-in-law but his own sister. But the context here is different, her sister is having an affair, is there any way she will accept my complaint and defense?


"Nda?"


"I don't know mbak"


"No way you don't know, same story mbak, not in the pendam yourself. Don't let it drag on, it can be fatal as a result"


"It's been a long time"


"And you've been cheating on me for a long time?" wide-eyed


I nodded.


"Astaghfirullah haladzim" mbak Ningsih and mas Indra beristighfar together.


"When did you know?"


"Finished the aqiqahan of Adam"


They both were again involved.


"I guess he called midnight with whom, I kept peeking at mbak, it turns out they were talking strangely like that, keeps making me even more sure that Naura's father cheated when I read their smsan on Naura's father's phone"


"If you know, why are you silent?" mas Indra asked as if he could not believe what I was doing.


"I once asked Naura's father for my mentalak when I was done with the puerperium"


Mbak Ningsih. Soon he ran into the room where my two boys slept.


There he immediately hugged his two nephews and burst into tears.


"Mesakno tenan kowe le, ojo sampe wong tuo mu split. kowe jek children, kepiye ngko fate e kowe" tears poured down his cheeks.


He soon left the room and returned to his original place.


I can see tears in his eyes.


"You who are patient Ndah, do not let you separate, pity the children, they are still small" Mas Indra advised me.


I can only nod.


"Why can Andi be like this?"


I'm shaking. Because honestly I also don't know what causes him to cheat.


"Maybe it's because I'm not beautiful, while there are many beautiful girls out there" I replied with a stale laugh.


Mas Indra laughed when he heard my answer.


"The temptation of the man who bears is indeed so Ndah, he is easily tempted to see women. Like it was Ndah, treasure, throne, woman, well, for the treasure can be said Andi is well established especially with the position he has become the boss more and more girls are after him"


"It depends on the man Well, if the loyal man wants him a conglomerate even though he will not be tempted by other women" Mbak Ningsih replied with nyolot.


Mas Indra smiled wryly at his wife's reply.


"Let tomorrow Andi tatar, you calm down"


I nodded.


"Yes, you sleep, don't mind much"


"Where was Naura?"


"Have slept in the room of brother Dimas, let them have not met for a long time. You know that they are from a small age are very familiar"


I nodded with a smile and then went to the bathroom to take ablution and Isha prayer only after I laid my body next to my two sons.
