The Forbidden Desire of the Wife

Visited by In-laws

Two days passed. Today is the day that Mama and Papa Melvin will arrive from Denpasar, Bali. There were several messages that Melvin delivered to Marsha before the man left for the set.

“Ayang, today Mama and Papa will come from Bali. Please ask Aunt Tini to cook my favorite Betutu Chicken,” pinta Melvin this time to Marsha.

“Should Chicken Betutu Yes Which?” ask Marsha.

“Iya, because Mama likes Balinese food. Betutu Chicken, Sate Lilit, or Serombotan (mixture of various vegetables such as Long Beans, Spinach, Kale, Chickpeas, Eggplant, Tauge, and Pare. This vegetable is put together with a spice called Kalas, a kind of coconut grater that contains a mixture of mashed turmeric, Onion, Garlic, Coriander, and Peel.) So, just cook it today,” said Melvin who seemed to give orders for better today's cuisine is the favorite Balinese food of Mama and Papanya.

“Ya already ... later I say first to Aunt Tini. Hopefully we can,” sahut Marsha.

“Yes Yang, let Mama love you. Food can move people's hearts. If you know see his daughter-in-law preparing Mama's favorite dishes, Mama so seneng deh,” said Melvin.

Realizing Melvin's words, it made Marsha frown. Mama Saraswati has not loved her all this time. If it were a pity, could it be just a pseudo-compassion?

“Why is it as if, Mom doesn't love me anyway Yang? Do all the daughters-in-law have to do all that to welcome her in-laws?” ask Marsha.

Even Marsha still asked nicely to Melvin. He was only intrigued by Melvin's remark that hinted that Mama Saraswati did not love him. So Marsha must try to take heart and please her mother-in-law.

“Ya is not what Yang .. occasionally cooking for Mama-in-law is okay,” Melvin replied.

“O .. yes nothing. Just how from your words earlier as if Mama Saraswati does not love me,” sahut Marsha again.

“Udah, don't think about it. Mama loves you. If Mama does not love where maybe Mama gives blessing to both of us,” Melvin replied.

Then Marsha nodded her head faintly, the woman then asked Melvin again.

“Yang, later if Mama still asks why I am still not pregnant, I have to answer what?”

This time, Marsha seemed to want to ask for an opinion from her husband. Although Marsha can give her own answers, but at least she can share her anxiety with Melvin. For those who have had a family for years and have not had children, when asked why not pregnant it will make the person concerned feel sad and even burdened mentally.

“Not to think about Which ...our household is living us. Just answer as you normally would,” replied Melvin.

Marsha lowered her head, that was not the answer she wanted. If she had to answer as usual, why did Marsha express her anxiety to her husband.

After Melvin died, Marsha then asked Bibi Tini to cook a variety of Balinese food as ordered by her husband. Even this time, Marsha asked Bi Tini to give her a strong spice, because Mama Saraswati and Papa Wisesa liked dishes with strong spices.

Ensure that Bibi Tini will cook a variety of delicious Balinese cuisine. Then Marsha chose to clean the room that will be occupied by Mama and Papa mertunya. Starting from changing bed linen, to cleaning the floor with a vacuum cleaner all done Marsha alone. Although sometimes he feels depressed with his mother-in-law, but Marsha also wants to give the best for her in-laws.

So that practically half a day more Marsha struggling with various homework. Until almost afternoon, came Mama Saraswati and Papa Wisesa. With a smile on her face, Marsha also welcomed the arrival of Mama and Papa.

“Welcome Mama and Papa,” a greeting while kissing the back of the hands of Mama and Papa-in-law, and then hugging Mama Saraswati.

“Now what is Sha?” ask Mama Saraswati.

Just arrived home, Mama Saraswati did not answer a welcome greeting from Marsha or ask news of her daughter-in-law, but Mama Saraswati actually asked what Marsha was doing at home.

“While arranging food at the dinner table, Ma .. let Mama and Papa eat first,” said Marsha politely.

“Oh, Mama kirain you are busy .. until you do not come to the airport to pick us up,” Mama Saraswati replied.

Marsha looked down, the smile on her face was gone. Just arrived, Marsha was accused and felt guilty before her father-in-law. Marsha should have gone to the airport and picked up her in-laws. However, Marsha chose at home and prepared Balinese specialties and prepared a clean, neat, and fragrant room for her in-laws.

“Sorry Ma .. Marsha thought to help Bi Tini cook,” reply Marsha.

Mama Saraswati then nodded her head. The middle-aged woman and her husband simply passed by from before Marsha and headed to her room. Marsha was alone at the door. The woman let out a long sigh and rubbed her chest.

Patience Marsha.

A little patience can endure many trials in life. Remember they are your own husband's parents.

Patience .. Patience ….

Marsha chose to walk and headed to the kitchen, finishing helping Aunt Tini. Marsha learns to be patient in the next week. No matter what, whatever his in-laws' judgment was against him. Because everyone has their own priorities. Marsha thought welcoming in-laws at home was no problem either. He didn't think that the mertunya actually wanted him to come to the airport and pick her up there. If only, Marsha knew her father-in-law's wish was certainly Marsha would join her driver to pick up her in-laws to the airport. Hopefully after this there is no spark of contention or bitter speech that will hurt Marsha's heart. Hopefully after this there are also not various things that will be fussed by Mama Saraswati to Marsha. Marsha prayed in her heart, if only she could be patient and still be polite to her two parents-in-law.
