Tyranny Mother-in-Law

Trouble

Niken prepared dinner for Bima and Laras.

"Tumben, Mas, get home fast." Niken asked after seeing Bima come out of the bathroom.

"I miss you." Sahut Bima while approaching Niken and kissing Niken.

"Ahhhhh... Already, dong, Mas! Shame, look at Laras!" Niken Protest.

"Ciye... Ciye... Mama and Dad loved me!" Suddenly Laras yelled at his parents while laughing.

Niken hunt rush push Bima's body and take food from the kitchen.

"Here, Laras eat first!" Shouts of Niken from the dining room.

Bima just laughed amusedly hearing his wife nagging his daughter.

"Here, Iha we are husband and wife, so naturally dong, if I want to kiss my wife." Bima defended herself while sitting on a chair.

"It's okay, too, Ma. Pleased."

Bima and Laras looked at each other, then both laughed, and did a tos.

"Here you go, let's eat first."

They enjoyed dinner quietly while commenting on Niken's cooking and recounting their activities that day.

Tok.dok..

"Mas, any guests?" Niken looked at Bima in wonder.

Bima returned Niken's gaze.

"Let me see."

Bima stood up and headed to the living room to see who the guests were that night.

Niken followed from behind.

Bima opened the window curtain to see her guests.

"Rune?"

Bima then opened the door for his sister.

"Germany?"

Bima looked at Seruni in surprise.

Seruni's face was puffy and carrying a large bag. Seruni sat down on the chair, and just kept quiet.

"What's up, Runi?" Niken approached Seruni, and stroked the back of his sister-in-law.

Seruni was still silent, and lowered her head.

"You're out of the house?" Ask Bima.

Seruni slowly straightened her head, and looked at her two brothers in turn.

"I'm sick of Mom, Mom. Every time I'm betrothed to a friend's son. But, nothing is right. Last time he set me up with Bram, Bu Bagyo's son, Mom's friend. I did it, and I know? Bram was the first time I met him at the hotel. Crazy no?"

"Good, Runi! Have you talked to Mom?" Niken was surprised and looked at Seruni sympathetically.

"I talked to Mom. And you know what Mom's answer is?" She asked Niken. Niken could only shake his head slowly.

"Mom said I was just making it up. Bram can't be like that. Bram is an overseas S2 graduate, it can't be like that. Mother accused me of making up stories, so as not to be betrothed."

Seruni told a story while sobbing.

"You're here first." Niken gave her advice in a soft voice.

"Yes. I'll call the gods."

"Free, Mas. God rarely comes home. He used to stay at Mala's place." Seruni Saying.

Bima and Niken were overwhelmed by the recognition of Seruni.

"Since when, a god like that?"

Bima asked full of probing and anger.

"Since the Father did not exist, continue to fit the incident forty days, after Mas Bima came home after Mother was not kind to Mbak Niken. Later that night, Mas Dewa introduced Mala to Mom. She was older than God. They know each other, because Mas Dewa taught his son Mbak Mala's guitar."

"Mal's sister was in custody of her husband yesterday, because Mbak Mala ran away from home, because she could not bear to see her husband polygamous. So she decided to separate from her husband, but her husband did not want a divorce, citing her husband's parents' request. But, for several months they stayed one roof, so Madam Mala could not bear to be told like that. Finally, Madam Mala left the house, and filed for divorce from her husband. And her husband asked for custody of his son. Because at that time Madam Mala was not working, and only a housewife, so she just let her son be with her husband."

"She said her son is with her husband, continues to teach guitar with God?" Niken is still curious.

"They were separated about six years ago, Ma'am. Mala's husband lives in Solo. Meanwhile, Madam Mala returned to Klaten, to her parents' house. But, his father had a restaurant business in Yogya, well, since then Madam Mala helped her parents' business. Now Madam Mala already has her own house, and the place to eat has many branches. After Mala's success, she regularly visited her son and picked him up to play in Yogya, and his son often spent time in Yogya. Two years ago, after school holidays, his son vacationed in Yogya, and private guitar lessons with Mas Dewa. That was the beginning of their meeting. For a long time they liked each other. And courtship. At first I had no problem, because I did not know, Mala's mother was a widow. If you already have children, protest Mom. Then Mas Dewa often went home at night for reasons of not teaching, or sending goods. Though I often see, Mas Dewa at the house of Madam Mala. Then a few weeks ago, Mas Dewa rarely came home, I was a morning prank stop by the house of Madam Mala, who opened the door of Mas Dewa." Seruni took a deep breath.

"I don't feel right, I'm home. Mother often ngatur that. Most males if there is already a charity event at home, and the language is married. What's wrong, Mas?" Seruni snorted in annoyance.

"Have, you're here, until you calm down. You don't have to think about Mom. Let Mas, who was talking to Mom, be angry with you."

Seruni nodded slowly.

"Thank you, Mom, Ma'am." Seruni hugged Bima and Niken alternately.

"Have you eaten?" Ask Niken.

"Yet, Ma'am."

"Yuk, eat first." Niken invites Seruni to enter the dining room.

*

That night Seruni could not close his eyes.

His eyes were fixed on the message sent by Satria.

When when, can you walk with you?

Seruni repeatedly read the message, without replying.

He often preaches with Satria for work or just asks Amanda, who often contacts him to ask questions about school lessons.

Honestly, actually, Seruni had more feelings for Satria, however, she remembered her mother's rejection of Mala, the God's lover, made her tremble.

Satria does sometimes pay more attention to him by asking for news, or just bringing by because it has been keeping Amanda.

But, while reading Satria's message that night, Seruni felt, Satria wanted to express her feelings to him. And Seruni wasn't ready for that.

Seruni closed her eyes, and tried to forget the message from Satria.

"Where's Bima?" Receive Ms. Mirna from the front room of the office.

"Pak Bima is...."

Not finished the receptionist replied, Bima has come out of her room.

"Oh, Mom, what's wrong? Tumben's coming to the factory?" Tanya Bima welcomes her Mother.

"Heh, don't you incite your sister to follow in your footsteps! I don't like it!" Firmly Bu Mirna while glaring stared intently at Bima.

"Invite how, Mom?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid, you!" Hardik Bu Mirna's.

"Come, we, just go inside, Mom. Just talk inside. All with the Gods and the Serunis." Bima invited her mother to enter her room. Then she called her two sisters to her room.

"Well, now, what do you want to say?" Ask Bima.

"We are, so the oldest child should be an example for your younger brother, but, in fact, the God gathers together the widow, and Seruni is introduced to the same good man, even run away, and no, no."

"Mom, Bram's not married yet! Do you want me to get pregnant before marriage? I don't want to, Mom." Cetus Seruni loudly.

"Bram can't do that. He's a boy, it's impossible to do something so indecent. If you're pregnant, then it's clear who the father is."

"Mother!" Seruni glared at Bu Mirna.

"Yes, at least, if you're pregnant, you don't have to bother telling you to find a partner. You just tell me who got you pregnant, and you got married." Sahut Bu Mirna while looking at Seruni.

"So mom doesn't matter if your son is pregnant first? You're not ashamed of your honor and family's good name?" Seruni shook her head inexhaustibly.

"At least, if you're pregnant, you're not a spinster!" Grunts Bu Mirna annoyed.

"And we are Gods! I don't like Mala, the widow!"

"What's wrong Mala, Mom?"

"Bima, you as the eldest child should be an example for your sister. This is because of that woman, who instigated you, and influenced you, so that your mind changed. Anyway, I want to rent a marriage with a good woman, and Seruni is also getting married soon, not being a spinster!"
