Anita told me everything that happened with Barata. Tells about the version he added with complementary spices, ben chilli and a lot of vinegar so that the more yahuud heard by his future father-in-law. Until finally Ibu Sukma melted with his story.

"Yes, let me talk to him later, you are patient first. I'll make sure Barata marries you soon. That's mom's promise to you and you can hold this mother's promise" Ms. Sukma patted Anita's back.

While the pair of ears that had listened earlier could only remain silent without commenting. Ajeng is still busy with cleaning the dishes that his mother-in-law had dropped on the floor because she was so surprised to hear one big secret, one of her children who turned out to have a disgraced attitude.

There was a corner of the part in his body that was painful, but he immediately dismissed it. It's not nice if he does not join happy, support the decision of Mother to immediately marry the pair of lovers, who have even crossed the line.

Anita said goodbye after getting a phone call from her who she said was waiting outside.

Sukma's mother escorted him to the yard, while Ajeng was still with a mop washcloth he was holding.

"Sorry, so trouble you Jeng" Bu Sukma approached Ajeng, and sat down on the dining table chair.

"Not at all, Mom. " She said as she headed to the sink to wash her hands.

There was a soft sound from Bu Sukma, which made Ajeng stragg towards him.

"Mother" she knelt down to see her mother's face that had now turned into a wistful one.

"Mother did not think Barata could go that far with the son of the Jeng people, mother felt that she failed to educate him, could not keep the honor of women" her tears broke until she finally unconscious. Lucky Ajeng could immediately catch him so that Bu Sukma did not hit the floor.

Ajeng who panicked with the condition of his mother-in-law felt deadlocked by the situation he faced.

She can't support her mother's weight alone. Too heavy he did alone. Lucky shortly afterwards Mbok War came home.

Ajeng immediately shouted where when he heard the voice of Mbok War who said hello.

"Mbok War please" he said with all his might. Followed by the arrival of Mbok War who immediately put the original vegetable basket.

"Gusti prince, Ibu kengin nopo Mbak" (Gusti prince, mother why Mother? Mbok War felt the same anxiety as Ajeng.

"Help me pick up mom, move mom to the room" Ajeng pinta.

And without waiting, they shoulder to shoulder brought Bu Sukma to the room.

"Please make sweet tea warm Mbok, it looks like mom hasn't had breakfast"

Ajeng looking for eucalyptus oil to rub against his mother's body that feels cold. From the nose, neck, stomach to the soles of the feet.

"Oh my God, Mother, why is this the one" Ajeng muttered to himself. Did not feel his tears dripping, the more inviting the river and could not be dammed, the more swift sliding down his cheeks.

"Please wake up Ma'am" Her voice sounded more and more raucous.

"Mbak Jeng, here's the tea" Mbok War said.

"Seniki mom dados gampil sultry, lemes. Dahare ugi sekedik." (Now the mother is easy to get sick, weak, eat a little too).

He who memorized the psychic condition of a person, refused to think that the mother was depressed. It could be so, when a person feels strong when the loss of those closest to him who he loves in succession and with close proximity.as the current mother, who is experiencing, not to mention the attitude of the mother who tried to be strong with the circumstances, even though she knew there must be a taste that hit her heart amazingly. and now? the news of Barata that I had never thought of before increasingly made Mother like many times thrown far into the bottom of the abyss. When he began to rise, but the circumstances forced him to stay down.

Mother must be dealt with immediately before the case becomes more serious, the first and foremost thing is to accompany her as often as possible. So that he does not feel lonely and alone. So that his spirit is filled with the warmth of the behavior of those around him.

"Pardon the selfish Ajeng just think of himself Ajeng without thinking about Mom" he muttered softly but could still be heard clearly by Mbok War.

"Call Mbal Runti mawon nopo ken mriki? " Mbok Sum suggested calling Mbak Runti, asking Mbak Runti to come home. It was obvious that Mbok War was confused.

"Mbak Runti again in Hong Kong, different hours here. Maybe it's early mbok. And it is not possible that we know who will be their thoughts, we also do not know they are there a lot of work or how" Ajeng replied.

" Aren't you Barata? " Mbok War gives another option.

"Don't, Ajeng meant don't be afraid now he's busy.

" Nggih sampun Mbak" Bu War just resigned, following Ajeng's direction. He always feels happy if with the woman next to him, in addition to being polite and gentle, according to Mbok War Ajeng is also very attentive to his mother-in-law. Although now you can say everything is finished because of the departure of Reno, but not with the friendship of Ajeng and the family of Bu Sukma. Ajeng still often visit even if only briefly. Making sure her mother-in-law's condition was okay.

Until the movement of the woman's hand disturbed her sleep.

"Mother" said softly when she saw her mother had opened her eyes.

And he immediately immediately gave the cold sweet tea to his mother.

"Thank you dear" he said sincerely.

"Before, go back first"

with a quick movement he went to the kitchen, he saw Mbok War who was busy cooking.

"What cooking is Mbok? Mom already woke up wanting me to bribe" Ajeng grabbed a plate and spoon, then opened the hood of food.

"Sop is the same heart of Mbak's amputee" Mbak War said.

"Mas Ren's favorite is Mbok" said Ajeng.

"And Mas Barata Mbak" Imbuh Mbok War while grabbing a serving plate.

"Mommy also likes this", take a small plate and give her a little heartburn of that green chili pepper that looks tantalizing.

Mbok War took a tray, filled with a bowl of oseng and vegetable soup, not forgetting a glass of water, then handed it to Ajeng to put rice on it.

"Makasi ya Mbak Jeng"

"Hes, I should be the one who thanks Mbok, Mbok can just" he said while receiving the tray.

"Nyuapin mom first yes" Ajeng passed.

"Mom, eat yuk first. Guess what Mbok War cooked? " Ajeng thrust the tray containing food to his mother while his mother still remains on the bed, the difference is that she has sat with her head leaned and in a buffer with a pillow on her back, and his hand held his phone tightly.

"Ajeng bribe ya" Ajeng started mixing a little side dish onto the plate, and began to feed it slowly. There was no rejection from his mother, the atmosphere was very quiet. Occasionally there was the sound of friction objects or light items falling, but Ajeng was only reluctant to ask, he was afraid if it was just his hallucination.

"Mother wants Ajeng to stay here first yes, nemenin Ibu. Until Barata comes home and marries Anita" Bu Sukma opens his voice.

"Thank you all this time you love Mom, forever you are Mom's son, and never think to leave Mom ya Jeng" The atmosphere back melow, crying sob.

Ajeng put the plate he held onto the nightstand, put the phone that Mother held next to him, then clasped his mother's hand tightly.

"For ever, Ajeng will be there for Mother and Ajeng will never leave Mother" Then grabbed the body of her mother, who felt the body was getting weaker and unfulfilled like the last time she hugged him.

And a heavy voice now he heard. "Mom don't think too much. Let the.... "

"How could you not think of all this? if not who else thinks? unless the mother is dead then the mother does not think anymore" Bu Sukma grabbed the phone that was next to her, releasing a hug from Ajeng.

And it turns out that from earlier Mom was making a vidio call with Barata.

Just pantes like there's someone else here. It turns out that the culprit is on the phone with Mom.

"It's not so ma'am" replied Barata across the street.

"Well, I don't want to know, you marry Anita immediately. If you are still like this.... "

"Yes ma'am, as soon as possible Bara's permission to the commander" Barata refused to listen to the continued words of his mother who was confirmed to contain the threat. He finally gave up.

"Yes, Bara wants to be ready to face the commander of Bu, pray given smoothness. Asalamualaikum" Phone turned off unilaterally.

And the mood returned to silence.

"This isn't what you want" she said weakly.

"Had ma'am, continue to eat again yes, after this Mother's rest" Ajeng returned to meyuapi Mother-in-law with affection. Distracting his mother's mind by remembering funny stories of the past.
