THE HEART IS BROKEN
THE IN-LAWS
"Honey, tomorrow morning I have to go out of town again yes, because there is business related to our new branch there" said Rama on the sidelines of breakfast.
"Yes, my dear is not papa." I replied.
Rama raised his eyebrows in wonder, "You want to be left behind? Usually whine to come along."
"Dear, I just want to try to understand your busyness, that's all" I explained.
"Relatedly? Not because..."
"Rama.. Don't suspect me, I don't like to be suspected." cut me.
"Dear, I believe" Rama did not continue his talk.
"So who are you going to stay at?" ask again.
"Maybe at my father's house" I replied.
"Oh. okay"
****
Rama drove out of town in my sedan. I had to go to college on my motorcycle. I went to college a little bad.
"Assalamualaikum" call someone from outside.
"Waalaikumsalam" sahutku from inside the house sambjl walk towards the door.
"Mother.." I was happy to see the guest who visited his house, Mala, the new in-law visiting me this time, I saluted his hand and let him in.
"You healthy, son?" ask Rama's mother.
"Healthy Mom, is Mom healthy?" askaku.
"alhamdulillah, where is Rama La?
"Oh, Rama's out of town ma'am",
I talked to my mom for a moment before I left for college. Rama's mother chose to stay at Rama's house, as well as accompany me. I don't mind, I'm glad my mother-in-law wants to stay home. So I don't have to bother having to hitchhike at Dad's house.
"Mother, Arla's going to college, Arla's mom is staying?" my word.
"Yes, papa, be careful. Take care of your content, dear" advises Mala.
"Yes Ma'am, Arla go first.
As long as Rama was gone, it was Ram's mother who accompanied me at home. All my needs are met by my mother. My mother loves me like her real son.
"Mothers.. I don't have to bother doing this, later if Arla had time, come home from the campus Arla does", I said when I saw my mother cleaning the house.
"What's wrong, baby, you'll be exhausted. You have to take care of your health and your baby, besides the mother feels lonely if you go. That's why I look for activities" said Mala.
Since then, I also prefer to invite the campus minister to do assignments at home, so that I do not leave my mother alone at home too long. College and home are not too far away. Andre, Tata, Airin's a friend who always visits his house. To the extent that Airin and Tata were familiar with my in-laws. Mother's loving attitude that makes my friends feel comfortable with mother.
After doing the task, Tata and Airin asked my mother-in-law to teach them to make cakes, because the cakes that Mother usually served tasted good.
"Mom, teach us to make dong Bu layer cake," said Airin.
"May, when to teach it" I don't mind.
"What if today?" tata said.
"Can. can" said the mother.
"How are you, Ndre? followup?" ask Tata to Andre.
"Eh ga ah, I'm going home.
"Okay, yok ma'am, we made it"
"Yuk" said the mother.
Mom, Airin and Tata go back to make a cake. While I drove Andre to the front of the gate. Four hours later, they finished making the cake, at exactly 9:00 p.m. Airin and Tata say goodbye.
"Mom, thank you for teaching us, hopefully it can be practiced again at home.
"Yes ma'am, it's hard easy it turns out yes", Tata timpal.
"Yes yes.Tried again at home yes, yes. You guys be careful, I want to pray Isya first. Mom goes in first",
"Yes ma'am, we're going home"
"Laa.. Arla.. flash I missed", cried Andre from the fence.
"okay.. I'll take it, don't go in, it's late"
I said from halamaan
"OK", Andre was waiting by the roadside.
"Who's La?" ask in-laws.
"Andre Ma'am, something's missing",
"Ga told to come in?" Mother peeked at Andre who was waiting by the side of the road
"Ga ma'am, it's late, it's not good to accept male guests" I said and went out.
"Oh yes it is".
I'm out handing over the Flashdisk Andre left behind.
About 60 minutes later, someone was banging on the door. Hard as if the door would be blown out.
Tok...
I'm shocked. Run me to the door I'm afraid mom's awake, I peek first from the window. Apparently Rama. Cause I saw a sedan parked in the yard. But why did Rama bang on the door so violently.
I opened the door, though,
"Assalamualaikum used to be a sweet cake", welcome me gently.
PLAAAAKK. I staggered to the wall.
"RAMAA.. WHY YOU!" pekikku while holding a hot face due to the slap of Rama.
"WHO IS THE MAN YOU BROUGHT INTO THIS HOUSE! I SAW YOU IN FRONT OF THE FENCE WITH THAT GUY! Rama's emotions overflowed.
"Rama.. That's.. "
PLAAAKK... The second slap landed again on my left face, a slap so hard I sat on the floor. My tears are raging. My lips are bleeding. My heart is beating fast. I just curled up and leaned against the wall. Rama crouched down to me. I pulled my hair until my head was pulled back, because it could not stand the pain of Rama's hand.
"THE NEXT TIME YOU DIDN'T WHINE WHEN I STAYED, IT TURNS OUT YOU PUT ANOTHER MAN INTO THIS HOUSE WHEN I WASN'T AROUND. IT'S YOUR BITCH!!" Rama was about to swing his hand once more.
"RAMAAA... I'm pregnant..!! my mother in sobs.
Rama stopped his hand, he just grabbed my hair, and crouched down beside me, his hand squeezing my cheek.
I could only cry, my cheeks getting sore.My wailing woke my mother from her sleep. Surprised he heard me scream. He immediately got up from his bed and headed towards my voice.
What a surprise mother saw her beloved daughter-in-law sobbing in the corner of the wall, with a red face and a bloody corner of the lips. Mom came straight to me. Hugged me tightly.
Rama was surprised not to be upset when he saw his mother coming out of the guest room, he did not know that his mother was at home.
"WHY IS YOUR BRAIN RAMA!!! WHAT'S YOUR WIFE'S FAULT!! UNTIL YOUR HEART MAKES HIM THIS WAY!! SHE IS PREGNANT!!! I was angry with Rama.
Rama sat on the couch. Look at the floor.
"He cheated on Ma'am, I saw with my own eyes" said Rama.
Mala approached her son, "YOU LOOK AT ME RAMA!
Rama looked at his mother.
THE PLAAAK!!! a violent slap slapped Rama's face.This is the first time in Rama's life to get a blow from his mother. Rama was silent, he did not dare to fight his mother.
"You should ask, you investigate first. Don't be blind jealous, let alone rude. Ever since you left I've been with your wife, the guy you saw was just a visiting college friend, after all he wasn't alone. There were a few other female friends, and I was in this house. I saw them." Mala explained.
Rama bowed, he turned towards me who was still sobbing and leaning against the wall. He looked at me with a look of pity and regret, a messy appearance due to the pounding of a slap from him. He approached me.
"Do not touch him", Mala brushed off Rama's hand and then mom hugged me with great affection. Mom takes me. I just sobbed to follow my in-laws. Rama just sat on the floor regretting what he did.
I really feel an incredible fear. My sobbing cry turned into a sedan sedu. I feel sorry to see me. Lying my body to the mattress, then compressed the wound on the tip of my lips rama slap. I grimaced withholding the pain.
"You are patient dear, I can't accept you being treated like this by your husband, even though he is my son" Mala said, continuing to clean the wound on the tip of my lips.
I just fell silent. I can't comment anything. My heart is still beating fast, the pain in my face is still felt.
