The Thorn in the Family

The Heart of Miss Marni

Since the Rose pregnancy, Ms. Srining took more time to stay there, she will leave early in the morning and will be home by night. Ms. Srining devoted her full attention and affection to the Roses.

Like that morning, he was willing to cook early in the morning even before Dari and the others got up and prepared a special meal for the Roses. At that time Rawar said if you want to eat soto betawi, only Randi did not budge and did not want to obey his request.

Ms. Srining who felt concerned and had felt pregnant became sorry for the Rose. Early in the morning he cooked and kept the soto betawi in a neat wrap, complete with warm rice and some other food.

Arriving at the laundry he will go directly to the Rose house to see the condition of his favorite daughter-in-law.

“Nak you eat a lot yes, take good care of Mama's grandson ini”. Bu Sringing's outstretched hand gently stroked the flat belly of the Rose that was behind her short dress.

“I'm nauseous Ma"

"But you have to eat your baby needs nutrients to grow"

“Eat little by little so as not to limp, nausea in early pregnancy is common for pregnant women”. Bu Srining's hand gently stroked the long and beautiful Rose's hair.

Now Roses began to reach the bowl in front of him, putting little by little soto betawi in the bowl, while Bu Srining recounted Randi's childhood. Without her noticing that the Rose had finished a bowl of betawi soto, Ms. Srining smiled with satisfaction at her.

“Now what more son do you want?”.

“Actually I would love to eat a fruit salad, it seems very fresh Ma when enjoyed during hot weather like this, plus melted grated cheese on it”. Roses imagine fruit salad to swallow their own saliva.

“Well Mama will order for you son, wait for this granddaughter whatever Mama must find for her”. Bu Srining's smile expanded perfectly, indeed he did not feel bothered even though many times the Rose asked him for something.

Gaining more attention and abundant affection from her in-laws made Rose's heart save, she felt loved and cared for at least one who received her son's presence. Although actually the most attention in want of the Rose is the full attention of her husband Randi.

“Ma next week four months tasyakuran my son, what mas Randi would like to be present at the event later”. The rose asked quietly and hesitantly, remembering for her early pregnancy not attended by the husband. At that time Randi prefers to pick up Risma and take Tari home.

“Mama make sure Randi will come relax”.

“Open nothing Ma, let me not be considered pregnant without husband”, Rose's face turned sad as if to be the victim and the most hurt woman.

Mama again gently caressed her daughter-in-law and tried to calm down, the pregnant woman's feelings were indeed sensitive.

“Patience nak”.

Mother's Home

“Don't..”.

“Don't please..please.it's a child's shirt saysan who drifted”.

“Please it's my son's favorite shirt”.

Shouted Mom on the sidelines of her night's sleep.

Hearing the screams from the mother made Ipul quickly wake up and go to his room. Pulul gently shook his mother's shoulders.

“Mother wake up bu”.

“Mother wake up this Ipul Bu”. Now the Ipul is getting louder shaking the body of the mother.

“Astaghfirullah, he said when he opened his eyes and realized if it was just a dream.

“What dream mom?, why do you often have nightmares lately?’, Ask Ipul by giving a glass of water ******.

I quickly grabbed the glass, gulped until it was gone.

Huwallahu, allahu rabbi, is syarika lahu. A’udzu bika limatillhit tammati min ghadhabihi wa min syarri ibadihi wamin hamazatis syayatini a an yahdhuruni.

“He is God, my Lord. No allies for him. I take refuge in the perfect words of God from His wrath, the wickedness of His servants, and the temptations of Satan. I also took refuge in him from the satanic siege”.

These few days Mother Dance felt uneasy, for some reason she could not sleep well. Every night in a row he dreams of washing clothes in the river and one of Tari's favorite clothes drifting carried away by the swift water. The dream repeated over and over again to make him restless at bedtime. All do’a has been read before going to bed so as not to dream the same thing like that.

“Hopefully nothing happened to my son, for some reason I feel that something happened to Tari”. said Mother inwardly when she woke up from the same sleep and dream.

Mother's attack was sharp like a sword, even though the child had not told her anything but she could feel.

Sundays

Today coincides with Sunday, Randi is on a work holiday, as is Risma who is off school, while the Dance cake shop is still open but only half a day. Randi decided to invite Risma to the store all help Dance, or rather bother Tari to quickly close the shop.

‘Mas do not be disturbed continue dong, later when the completion?”. Rengek Tari spoiled when calculating the book opening and entry of funds in his shop.

“Dear baby don't be tired of his work, I don't want my beautiful wife is tired”. Rayu Randi stroked Tari's hand gently.

While Risma was walking around the cake shop, the little girl saw a line of cakes neatly displayed in the storefront, not infrequently she often asked to be taken and tried it. Of course all the servants there swiftly served him. However, Risma is the shop owner's daughter so all who are there must fulfill her request as long as it is still within reasonable limits.

“Before Mas, what Mas Randi wants to make hot chocolate while waiting for me to check this”, bargaining on the husband who is still cool to bother him since earlier.

“Bby but the chocolate is not much-many”.

Dance frowned at the husband's answer.

“Why?”.

“Because seeing you smile next to me is already quite sweet and intoxicating, I was afraid if it is too sweet will get diabetes”. Randi got up from his seat and wrapped his hands around the slender waist of Dance who was about to move out of her room.

“Ah dreadlocks mas, wait ya”. Now Tari passed leaving Randi to make hot chocolate for her.

Ting...

One message came in on Randi's phone.

“Company Rose, in young pregnant and need husband beside her”.
