Tyranny Mother-in-Law

Grief

"How's Niken progressing, ma'am?" Bima sat down to Mother Lusi who was folding clothes that had been dry.

"So I met the doctor. Then we did the initial therapy. Not much development, but, Niken can already feel a little touch on his legs. Because it's not just the bone, but, it's already hit the nerves in his leg, so the treatment is more."

Bu Lusi's light while staring at Bima.

"Thank God, ma'am, if there's any progress. Mom, thank you, for coming."

Bima sighed, returning Bu Lusi's calm gaze, like Niken's gaze.

"Bima, I'm so sad that happened to you. Father is a good man. I remember, your father once promised me that he would take care of Niken, and accept her like his own son." Bu Lusi glared at the memory of Mr. Widodo.

"Sorry, Mom. I haven't been able to please Niken all this time. The house is still a contract, and Niken has to work."

"Mom, don't blame yourself. Every event must have its silver lining. He did not leave his family empty-handed. Your father, still leaves a precious relic for you his family. You should be grateful."

Advice Bu Lusi while patting Bima's shoulder.

Bima who was sitting down, could only hear by pervading.

"Mother knows, all along, your mother still hasn't been able to accept Niken. Even the Barrel is possible. Niken never told mom, but a mother's instincts know it."

Bima was stunned, for a moment he was stunned.

Bima kneels in front of Bu Lusi.

"Mom, forgive Bima. Sorry haven't convinced my mother to accept Niken."

Bima knelt down while holding the back of Bu Lusi's hand, while shedding tears sadly.

Bu Lusi rubbed Bima's back gently.

Bima felt very calm at that moment. There was a sense of relief after saying that.

"Bima, you've been doing your job well all this time. Be a good husband and father to your family. Even always accompany Niken when he is difficult. You also want to take on the housework, which Niken should have done. You should always look after your father. Example him. "

"Good, Mom."

Bima wiped away the tears that were still streaming down her face.

"Sit down! Don't cry anymore. I'm not mad at you. I thank you, because you were there for Niken, when she wasn't."

"I've chosen Niken, and will keep her always, Mom."

"Yes, how's the factory? Said Mr. Niken giving the factory to you and your sister."

Bima was silent for a moment, before answering Bu Lusi's question.

"I don't know yet, Mom. I have worked for a dozen years at the company where I worked, until the position I am now. Then arrived the father gave a mandate to hold the factory. I'm still confused, having to repeat from the beginning again."

"You can learn, with Seruni. Didn't he help out at the factory."

"Yes. In the past, there was Niken who always helped..."

"Even if Niken hasn't recovered, she'll help you."

"I'll talk to Dewa and Seruni. Because the responsibility is not just on me, but with them as well."

"Good good, son."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Listen, what kind of girl are you, Runi? Why did you decide on the Word that had been your lover all this time? Did that old date make your brain melt? Is it because working with the gods, keeps you from staying in touch for long?"

"Mom, stop. Word is not the right person for Runi. Do you know the Word has been impregnating other women all this time. It was fortunate that Runi did not marry him." Sahut Seruni defended himself.

"That's because you guys were dating her late. Shouldn't be long. If it is suitable, yes, just get married! You're 25 years old Runi, what do you want to be a weathered girl?"

Cecar Bu Mirna in a loud voice.

"Mom, what kind of weathered girl? Seruni was busy with the factory, he was focusing on developing the factory all this time. After all, good dong, Seruni did not become married to a striped man like the Word." The gods defend Seruni.

"Huh, you too! What do you want to be a rotten virgin too? You're almost 30, but you've been at home for a long time. What the hell are you looking for exactly? Why can't you find your own life partner? Why do I need to get Carikan?"

Miss Mirna shook her head in a huff.

"Why are you angry like this? Seruni and I will definitely get a soul mate, but at this time have not met. We want to focus on the factory. Especially with the condition of Mbak Niken who is still in the recovery stage, and Mas Bima who is still working in his office."

"Bima still works at the old company?" Ms. Mirna squinted her eyes, and looked at God.

"Yes. Mas Bima was still working, so he came in the afternoon, after hours of work. We often spend our time working a little night. Moreover, some clients are usually handled by the Father, there are changing suppliers."

Bright God.

"How is that five? Already know his sister's hardship, still busy. After all, from a long time ago, mom always said, don't depend on that woman. But you guys no one's ever heard. That woman, bit by bit gnawed at the factory!"

Tukas Bu Mirna.

"Breakbugs factory? Who?" Ask the Gods.

"Yes, Bima's wife, who else?"

"Oh my goodness, Mom. Indeed, Miss Niken what termites, use the term gnawing everything." Seruni woke up to hear her mother nagging.

"Heh, Runi! You don't laugh. If you do not gnaw the factory, I think this time for sure, you and God have no problem overcoming the factory. And also certainly Bina was influenced by his wife. Now he's paralyzed! Feel it! Bima is now taking care of a crippled wife, looking for money for family expenses and medication. Kualat the boy. You heard mom! Don't fight mom, you guys can quality! Like your Mas's!"

Ms. Mirna folded her hands in front of her chest, while throwing her body into the living room sofa.

The god entered his room, and Seruni followed his brother's footsteps into the room.

Silent and silent...

That is how Mr. Widodo died.

Miss Mirna could only sit and wipe her tears sadly, missing her husband.
