2X MARRIED TO A COUSIN
Nysidams

Tepelek teplek

Tania stomped her feet in those flip-flops out loud. He felt deeply disappointed because his desire could not be fulfilled. "So the husband is insensitive, there is no alertness. This is not my wish either. This is his son's wish," his grunts were upset.

Arriving at the door of the room, Tania's steps came to a halt. He is now moving. He turned towards the dining room.

Tania sat on one of the chairs at the dining table. He sat in the dimness because he did not know where the dining room light switch was located. Both of his palms were propping up his chin. His defense broke down, his tears flowing profusely could not be dammed anymore. She remembered someone, when Tania was little she always had breakfast serabi Kalibeluk with the taste of brown sugar.

"Waste, Tania wants to eat your homemade serabi, Mbah," he whispered.

Pyaars

The lights immediately lit up, Edos looked at his pensive woman alone. Her feelings hurt to see her woman crying, her heart ached. Edos continued his steps towards Likha's room.

Tok tok tok tok

"Sir Likha!" call Edos.

Edos repeatedly knocked on the door and called the name of the owner of the room, but there was no confirmation from inside the room. With a shunt, Edos was about to return and approach Tania. But his steps came to a halt when he heard the sound of the door behind him opening.

Chequelek

Edos looked back, seeing Likha poking out from behind the door that was only opened by a third. Find out who knocked on his door.

"Mas Edos!" call Likha. "What do you need?" he asked with his hands still rubbing his eyes.

"Tania, Ma'am. He said he wanted to eat freshly cooked kalibeluk serabi from the furnace, Ma'am," said Edos.

"Umm, it's raining again, is Mak Suri still printing?" Likha instead answered Edos's words with a sentence of ambiguous questions. "Attent, Mas. Mbak Likha wake Pak Nur first yes," he said.

"Yes, Mommy."

Likha went back into her room. Edos went to the dining table. Sliding one seat beside Tania. Sit facing his wife. Tania is still in the position she was in. Holds his chin with both hands.

Edos wiped both of Tania's cheeks that were still wet. "Don't cry anymore, I can't watch you cry like this" she said. Tania was still silent. "Mbak Likha and Pak Nur want to take us to the place of Mak Suri, his neighbor who makes Kalibeluk serabi," he added.

Instantly Tania's moping face became a sumringah. "Really, Yank?" his question was in disbelief, Edos just nodded. "Asiiik.." as a child.

Tania immediately hugged and kissed Edos' cheeks.

"Thank you, Yank" Tania said.

"Thank you to Ms. Likha and Pak Nur later," Tania nodded.

Edos kissed his wife's forehead gently. Then stroked and kissed Tania's stomach while whispering the do'a,

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً۬ طَيِّبَةً‌ۖ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ

Robbi hablii min ladunka durriyatan thoyyibah, innaka samii'uddu'a'

It means: “Yes my Lord, give me from the side of You a good son (salih). Verily You are the Hearer of prayer.” (QS Ali Imran [3]: 38).

"Don't fuss, and don't bother your mother, son!" edos said he was still stroking Tania.

Tania smiled the day she saw her husband's treatment of her and the baby she was carrying.

"Ehm um,"

The sound of silence shocked Tania and Edos, they turned towards the source of the sound. Likha stood not far from them.

"Pak Nur has prepared a car in the yard, Mas," said Likha.

"Good, Ma'am. Come baby!" Edos led his wife to stand up, stepping into the courtyard.

Arriving in the middle room Edos stopped, "Wait here, Yank. I'll get you a jacket, "he asked.

Edos climbed the stairs leading to his room on the second floor. A moment later he had been wearing a sweater jacket, while on his left arm was draped in another jacket.

Edos put on a sweater jacket that he carried to his wife's body. They get out of the house and into the car. Tania and Edos sat in the back seat, while Likha sat in the front beside Pak Nur.

The car drove slowly through the rain, splitting the darkness of the road. The rain that began a few days ago continuously without stopping makes the river flow overflowing until it pooled up on the road body.

Pak Nur took a detour to reach Kalibeluk Village, even though between Juragan Burhan house and Kalibeluk not so far away. Because the bridge was inundated with water until sebetis and the water was heavy, so it could not be passed by a car. As a result, a trip that should be reachable within 15 minutes now may take up to 1 hour.

Tania rested her head on Edos' shoulder. Edos rubbed Tania's head wrapped in a veil.

"Why didn't you tell me from this afternoon, if you want to eat Kalibelut serabi, hem?" edos asked his wife.

"I think I can hold it till tomorrow morning, Yank,"

"It turns out you can't?" edos asked with a smile that already knew the answer. Tania simply returned her husband's smile. "Just sleep, when I wake up." Edos persuaded his wife. Tania tried to close her eyes.

The car stopped in front of a house in the shape of an ancient joglo building typical of Central Java. Likha got out of the car, opened the umbrella, stepped towards the terrace of the house. He was seen knocking on the door and saying greetings, calling out who had a house, but there was no answer. Long he waited.

His smile expanded when he heard the voice of a girl from inside. The door opened from the inside, the girl appeared from behind the door.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mutia. Sorry for the disturbing nights. Does Mak Surini still like to make serabi?" ask Likha.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Ms. Likha. Sumpah just so happens to still make it in the kitchen. Come in first, Ma'am. Don't be outside, it's cold" Mutia replied.

"Bak call Ma'am's employer first yes, Mut. He again wants to eat serabi that just came out of the furnace he said," said Likha.

"Oh, then later directly invited to the kitchen just yes, Ma'am. I'm still helping Sumpah with that."

"Thank you, Mut,"

Mutia went back inside the house, while Likha came back to the car.

"Yes a minute, Ma'am. The farmers are sleeping again, Sister Likha just go first, do not rain there," said Edos.

Likha returned to the terrace. While Pak Nur waited for Edos and Tania to get out of the car first, then he would get out.

"Yank, it's over" said Edos patting Tania's shoulder gently to wake up. But Tania was still flinching.

"Yank, let's get up! Still want to eat kalibeluk serabi?" edos said again waking up. But Tania still did not respond.

"Sir, let's go home. Those who want serabi do not want to wake up" Edos ordered.

"Really, Denmas?" Pak Nur still hesitated at the orders of his master.

"Yes, Sir. Call Mbak Likha gih, tell him to go back to the car," Edos orders again.

"Yank, let's get up

Don't want to wake us back," threatened Edos.

"Kok came home anyway?" tania asked in a hoarse voice because she was very sleepy.

"Eat him wake up donk!" edos was still patting Tania on the shoulder.

Tania opened her eyes, a moment later she circulated her gaze paying attention to the surroundings outside that looked from the car glass. It was dimly lit but it seemed like Tania recognized this place.

"Yank, is this what it's like in Sewah's house?" ask Tania.

Edos raised his eyebrows. "Who's waste? Our waste is not here his home" Edos denied.

"I forgot his name, I just called him Sewahan. Since I was a kid I lived here with Mom and Dad." Tania.

Edos did not ask who Tania meant by her mother, he just thought it might be her stepmother, and it was true. Tania did live in the house a month after Dewi left for Jakarta, after Syarif married a single child widow in the village.

"Farhan," said Tania suddenly remembering someone.

Edos again frowned, "Who is Farhan?" tanyakanya.

"He's my brother, Yank."

Tania rushed out, stepping through the rain, no matter her husband prevented her because she had not refreshed the umbrella. He immediately went inside to meet his symbol who was printing serabi cake.

Likha was astonished to see her master's daughter-in-law who had been waiting for her since had even passed by in front of her. Tania headed straight for the kitchen. Tania stood looking at her symbol who was struggling with the smoke of the furnace.

Good thing, it's not finished. Inner Tania.

Mak Sur has poked and picked up the ripe serabi cake. He waited for Mutia to pour the dough into a serabi mold that had been empty, but the awaited had not poured the serabi dough.

"Mutia, let's pour the dough into an empty mold, why even beng-" said Mak Surini stopped when he saw the figure that Mutia thought was not.

"Let Tania pour it, Mbah."

Tania directly took the basin containing the dough and then poured it into the empty mold. He put the basin back and grabbed and kissed the back of Mak Surini's hand.

"When's coming? You're grown now" asked Mak Surini looking fixedly at Tania who was now sitting in the chair opposite him.

"Hehehe, Sewah. Tania even wants to love her great-granddaughter for Sewah," Tania said.

"God willing, how many months has it been, Nduk?"

"You're four months, Mbah. He again wants to eat serabi made Simbah,"

"Sit down, just a moment to get it," said Mak Surini.

Tania was sitting on the dining table chair, Mak Surini picked up 2 stalks of her homemade serabi cake and put them on the table in front of Tania.

Tania sniffed the scent of the newly mature serabi. Enjoying the aroma of a blend of coconut milk and brown sugar and the charred aroma of the serabi was missed by Tania.

"Gapain you're here again!" the voice suddenly startled Tania.
