Tyranny Mother-in-Law

Gathering

"Mbak, sorry. But really why not why?"

Satria approached Seruni after checking the package taken by the courier.

"Oh, yes. It's okay, Mom. Just a shock to the head, the same beret in the hand only. The rest of me is healthy and fine." Sahut Seruni while looking at Satria who was smiling saw him.

Seruni was wrong.

"Sorry, I'm going in first. There's still a lot of work."

Pamit Seruni while smiling lightly.

"Eh, yes. Please Mommy."

Satria sighed, then stared at Seruni's back until it disappeared behind the factory door.

"Runi, yesterday the mother met Bu Bagyo, her son who studied abroad was going to go back to Yogya, had finished his studies. Well, next Sunday you come with Mom to Bu Bagyo's house along with the children's thanksgiving." Tell Miss Mirna at dinner.

Seruni only sighed deeply, then continued eating it.

"Heh, you're that, you don't talk about Mom? On Sunday, next week, you drop by and join Arisan's mother. Can't get married, and there's no reason to."

"And Mom's show, why am I coming, Mom? Usually I leave alone or I'm just anther, and I go home."

"Mom Bagyo's son is coming back from America. I want to introduce him to you. Bu Bagyo has also asked you several times, all of you want to see you."

Seruni stopped eating and looked at Bu Mirna.

"Mom, Seruni does not like to be betrothed. My mom is not kapok, yes. In the past Mas Reno, in fact he already had a girlfriend, and finally married his girlfriend, until I did not feel good with Mas Reno and his girlfriend. Keep Word. He knows he's sensitive, venereal villain! I love sleeping with other women. Now, I want to mate with my son Bu Bagyo. Didn't mom catch up, the girl's heartache continues?"

"Germany! This mother has been very patient with you. You're 25 years old, unmarried. So the talk of neighbors and friends of Mother's friends. I'm patient with all that, trying to cover you up. But, you never try to find a life partner for yourself. But, don't want to be found by your mother! What do you want?"

"Mom, if I'm 25 why? Aib what?"

"You want to be a spinster? Not ashamed of what you are? I'm ashamed, Runi!"

"Gosh, Mommy!" Pekik Seruni, then stood up and went straight into his room.

BRACKET!

Seruni slammed the door of her room tightly.

"What's up, Mom?" The god who had just returned home, half ran in when he heard the commotion.

"Look, your sister! Every time it's advised, told, even opposed."

"Germen against what, ma'am?" The god stroked his mother's back gently.

"Your sister is really wayward. She's almost 25, but there's still no sign of marriage."

"Patience, Mom. Seruni is young. Let him enjoy his youth first."

"Ah, you are the same. How are you, still the same woman?"

"Mala?"

"Yes, what's his name is up to!"

"Still, Mom. But we don't want to get married fast yet."

"Dad... You're this! Same with your sister! Don't you feel sorry for your mother? Lonesome. Every day at home. You guys are there, it feels like you're alone."

"Mom, don't you want to see Laras? He's a big man now."

Ms. Mirna immediately looked at the God as she glared.

"Don't tell your mother once to ask her to come to this house, let alone bring her child here! No Sudi! Let him be paralyzed forever, feel it! He killed your father, and previously incited your father to hate you."

"Gosh, Mommy? Why do you not like Ma'am Niken. Until I pray something bad. Don't let her be heard by God and turn to me."

The god could only shake his head, then leave his mother.

"Runi, can you ask for help?"

"What's wrong, Mommy?"

"Later in the afternoon, please pick up Laras at school, yes. Mbak today there is a control schedule to the doctor, this is delivered the same Mas Bima. Masmu said, God again there is work in the factory, so I ask you to help."

"Oh, I can, Ma'am, take it easy. As usual, right Mommy, home hours?"

"Yes, one and a half hours. But later he will not be alone. One of his friends came too. Name's Amanda. Take it, straight home. At home there is Bude Ning. He already knows him. Lunch at home before going back to the office. She said it to Bude Ning."

"OK, Mommy. Ready. Just take it easy, Mother."

"Thank you, Seruni."

"The same, Mother."

That afternoon, Seruni rode his motorcycle towards Laras school.

From a distance Seruni could already see his nephew standing waiting for him.

"Oh, it turns out that Bulik picked her up! Mama said the same as God."

"Om you're busy in the office. Your father accompanied your mother to the hospital. Uh, who is this?" Seruni turned to Amanda.

"Amanda, Aunt. His friend Laras."

"Oh, come on, up. Heart of yes. Can you?"

"Stranquilo, Bulik. Aman, let's go!" Laras patted Seruni's shoulder.

Seruni rode his motorbike with heart to the house of Bima and Niken, and not until fifteen minutes finally they arrived at the neat little house.

Bude Ning welcomed their arrival with joy.

Seruni went straight to the kitchen and picked up a glass and poured water from inside the fridge to cool her body.

"Hot, huh, Miss Runi?"

"Banget, Bude."

"Eat first, yes, Ma'am. Earlier, Ms. Niken had ordered, Ms. Runi was told to eat first before returning to the office."

"Yes, Bude. Uh, his friend Laras has been here a lot?"

Seruni asked as she looked at the living room observing Laras and Amanda who were busy joking.

"It's been this month, Ma'am. His father worked, so it was put here. Usually lunch abis or around three o'clock picked up by his father."

"Oh... Her mother?"

"His mother is dead. So his own father was Amanda. They moved to Yogya. He said his grandmother who took care of Amanda died, so the same father was taken to Yogya."

Seruni can only be mangosteen while oh long.

"So where's your house?" Seruni asked Amanda while enjoying lunch with Laras and Amanda.

"In Monggo's housing, Aunt."

"Oh, over there. Your mom works?"

Amanda nodded.

Barrel kicking Seruni's leg.

"Ouch!" Pekik Seruni while glaring at Laras.

"Belik, Amanda has no mother. So he now lives with his father. The paper's at work, so it's here."

Babe Baras on Seruni.

"Oh, sorry, I don't know."

"It's okay, Auntie."

"Yes, Bulik, then please teach us to do pr first, yes!" Rengek Laras with a clear face.

Seruni sighed, then nodded.

"Yes! We got help this time. I know it's pinter, so we're gonna finish our pr fast." Babe Baras to Amanda.

"This plate is cleaned first! Put it in the back!" Cetus Seruni to his nephew.

Laras grinned, then cleaned his cutlery together with Amanda.

After cleaning the cutlery, Laras and Amanda wait for Seruni to help work on their pr.

Seruni patiently helped and taught the two little girls to do one by one a pr of math.

About an hour passed, finally the child's homework was finished as well.

Seruni prepared to return to the factory.

"Thank you, Auntie." Amanda said with a smile.

"Thank you, Bulik. Actually, right, Manda. Bulikku is a jago. That's why I'm most happy if Bulik comes right there pr." Praise Laras.

"So you're happy with this Bulikmu to help ngerjain pr only?" Sahut Seruni while pura pura angrily.

"No, Bulik. Blink the best!" Laras seduces Seruni while kissing her cheek.

"Runny!" Seruni could only shake her head while holding back a smile.

TOK TOK TOK

Seruni stood up, then headed to the living room to open the door.

"Loh, you?"

Satria was surprised to see Seruni open the door.

Seruni who was no less surprised, could only smile.

"What's wrong?"
