THE WOUNDED EARTH
BITTER MEMORIES
Time seems to go by quickly.
After a serious chat about the application has been discussed all, the conversation between the two families was getting closer to not feeling the day was almost before Ashar.
Ridwan's family finally came home.
We let go of their return with happiness.
"Yati, please help my mom to the room?"
"Sit over and over" asked mom.
"All right" I answered by pushing my mother's wheelchair into her room.
Bani cleaned the living room and carried the serving glasses to the back.
I helped my mom get from her wheelchair to her bed.
"Emak just rest, Yati want to help Bani settle outside first."
"Yes, son" answered my mother.
I also walked out of my mother's room.
"The food is still a lot of this" said Bani while collecting dirty dishes.
"We distribute to neighbors only Ban but don't forget to pack also for Ririn" I remember to Bani.
"He he he yes brother, just remember the brother of the same sister-in-law who was that one"sahut Bani cengengesan.
"Before becoming a sister-in-law candidate, Kirin was a good friend of her brother even though the person was chatty and a bit baffled but he was originally good, always there when the sister was in trouble" I explained.
"So it's not wrong dong choice of my heart" cut Bani.
"Mm can just be my sister on this one" while pinching Bani's cheek.
After finishing all of them, we also distributed the food and cakes that still left a lot to the neighbors.
"Ban, have you sent a message to Ririn?"ask me when I sit back with Bani in the living room.
"Not yet, try to call my sister afraid it is not time to go home" said Bani who took a sitting position in front of me.
I opened the message wa*tsh*pp to find Ririn's contact.
"Rin, have you gone home yet?"
"Wait to stop by the house?"my message was also sent.
It is not long before Ririn is seen online.
"What's up Yat?"his reply.
"Almost there's something I want to tell you."
"Don't make curious dong"he reply again began to sewot.
"What the hell is it, tell me right now" he asked.
"Secret"I replied with a laughing emoticon.
"Yes later I go home directly stop by" he replied in a hugging emoticon.
I smiled as I put my phone on the table.
I grabbed a glass of water to drink.
"What did Ririn say, kak?"bani asked as she bribed a piece of cake into her mouth.
"Later home from work he immediately stopped by here" I explained briefly.
"Sister, by the way when will you go back to the village?"
"Yes, later we ask the mother again how good it is" I replied casually.
"That makes sure wa Tinah's family and mamang's from the mother's family, kak."
"What about abah?"ask Bani again carefully.
"Do we have to ask you to come as well to be a sister's guardian later?"
"Either Ban, I have not been able to make a decision about it.You can be my marriage guardian does not need to involve Abah?"I said back to asking.
"Indeed brother does not want if you are also present on the happy day brother later?"
"I don't think ready yet Ban" I answered almost inaudibly.
"It is difficult to accept Abah's presence in our family again after what Abah has done to us, especially mother."
"Yes, we will talk again about how good "then Bani ended our conversation which reopened the wounds in my heart.
I bowed with a sad heart.My mind looked up at the events of the past.

Flashback Yati small
The shadows of the past are back in my memory.
It was as if everything had just happened yesterday.
Sobs my mother in silence often I hear when we have fallen asleep.
I could only pretend to be asleep because I could not see the sad and hurt face of my mother because of the betrayal and harsh treatment of Abah.
Not a single word of complaint came out from the lips of the mother, only sobs and tears represented the pain and pain of the wound in her heart.
Until now I still do not understand, why did you choose silence without resisting.
Whether it should be that much sacrifice and obedience of a wife to her husband regardless of how small the responsibility given by the husband to his family.
I do not know how many years the mother held her inner wounds in the word patience, pinning prayers may the husband want to be aware to one final decision point.
For most women who live in villages like ours let alone minimal education all seem to be commonplace.
Graduating elementary school is not important to continue school to a higher level of education that is important to be able to read and write, so is most understanding of parents who do not want to bother.
For them, the woman's main work is to take care of the household and children and help her husband in the fields and rice fields.
And finally most of the household problems, due to the wife in the demand of these 3 things until there is no time to take care of yourself.
Less rest because they have to care for and care for their children,skin that starts to blacken because of frequent direct sun exposure every help in the fields or in the fields to make the appearance becomes less attractive to look at.
Finally, many husbands then feel at home hanging out in a dimly lit shop that presents a fresh view for them.
The smile of a spoiled shopkeeper woman is able to defeat the sacrifice and loyalty of a wife.
Until not only one or two households are built in years, initially based on love and affection finally destroyed in a matter of days.
And ironically, due to the lack of education both general and education in terms of religious morality the husband mendzolimi rights of his children.
After divorcing, they lose their responsibilities and continue to be engrossed in their new life.
While the wife who has been divorced increasingly heavy carry the burden of life from children, trying more strongly to make a living to meet all the needs of children solely because of the magnitude of love from a mother.
This is what makes my heart so hard to accept the affection of a man.
Most men have a sweet lips at the beginning only after over time will look how the original character.
But because this feeling was lodged in the heart finally I was only able to pray that Ridwan is not like most men I think.
