" What did you bring Vi?" Delia asked as she saw Vio walking into the house carrying a plastic bag.
"Oh this, Rawon brother..do not want to try?" Vio answered while slowly lifting the plastic bag he was carrying.Vio then continued his steps towards the dining table to put his luggage.Delia followed Vio's steps towards the dining table, suddenly he felt like eating the food.
Upon arrival at the dinner table Vio took out a container from a plastic bag, he then opened the lid of the container and came out a slightly steaming smoke and a fragrant smell that intrigued those who smelled it.
"Well that looks good Vi, where did you buy it?" Delia asked as she brought her nose closer to the container and pulled out a chair and sat on it.
"Today's my acquaintance's birthday brother, don't you remember the woman who chatted with me in the hospital the other day?" Vio asked while preparing the rawon and put it on the dinner plate a little after it was given to Delia.
"hemmm...he made her ?"
"Yes, today is his birthday, he says every birthday he always makes rawon for his family." Vio said and sat down in front of Delia.
"It's delicious, Rey also likes rawon, but only rawon made by her mother." Delia said as she bribed the rawon into her mouth.
Delia so enjoy the rawon made by Rey's mother, yes last night Vio asked Rey's mother to make rawon he quibbled if Delia was craving to eat rawon homemade.
The flash back
On the day that Vio found out that the woman he had known accidentally turned out to be the mother of his sister-in-law,she was determined to help unite her brother's husband's family.Walau Rey and Delia never said anything to him but he knew if the couple missed a mother who had raised him, but he knew if the couple had missed a mother who had raised him,longing for the figure of parents who can guide them in sailing the household ark.
That night when Vio chatted with Rey's mother over the phone he told her if her sister was pregnant,and want to eat rawon made their mother but their mother is dead while her mother-in-law is far from them.Mother Rey who heard the story of Vio so enthusiastic and remembered with Delia the wife of her son have not had time to receive a warm welcome from his family.Maybe at this time Delia is also pregnant considering their marriage has been almost a year .
Rey's mother who really misses the presence of her daughter-in-law also offered to make it rawon for Vio's sister who is pregnant young who is none other than her own daughter-in-law.
After the two chat and they agree to make a rawon at Rey's parents' residence.
In the morning, Vio said goodbye to visit his friend's house, even though he wanted to go to the house of his sister-in-law's parents.
After arriving at the residence of Rey's parents, Rey's mother was already standing on the terrace waiting for the arrival of Vio.A luxury car entered the courtyard of Rey's mother's house is so spacious, so the,the white luxury car then stops in front of Rey's house and from inside the car ,Vio could see Rey's mother already standing on the porch folding her hands together on her chest with a bright smile when she realized that the white car was the car carrying Vio.
Vio got out of the car and walked over to Rey's mother on the porch, both hugging each other as a welcome welcome.
"How, not constrained on the run?" Rey's mother asked as she walked into the house holding Vio's hand.
"Alhamdulillah smoothly ma'am, there is no traffic jam, maybe because I left her early in the morning." The distance of Rey's mansion to her parents' house is indeed quite far, even if it is in the same city but their residence is so far apart, it may take three hours if taken by vehicle.
Upon entering the living room, Vio's eyes were immediately fixed on a jumbo-sized photo, a family photo that looked so warm and happy, and the family,even the people in the photo were smiling happily staring at the camera.Vio's eyes looked closely at one of the people in the photo, a man who was very familiar in his eyes and so close to him.
"That's a picture of my family, it was taken when my eldest son and his wife were alive.If the man standing on the right side was my youngest son, his name was Rey." Obviously Rey's mother when she realized Vio was looking at her family photo that was plastered right in front of the door.
"Harmonious family Ma'am." Said Vio while walking towards the sofa that had been neatly arranged in the living room.
Vio then dropped his ass on the sofa that was so soft.
"Yes but that was before." Said Rey's mother while sitting next to Vio, as they fell silent as they brought Vio a glass of drink and some snacks.
"Thank you." Vio said as he put a glass of the drink on the table.
"Yes non, both please enjoy." Mbok said then passed leaving the two women of different generations.
Vio then sipped the drink that had been delivered by the mbok earlier.
After enough talking, the two walked to the kitchen. The two women then start cooking rawon requests from Vio.
After waiting for a while, finally the rawon was ripe and so appetizing.
"This Rawon is also my family's favorite food, especially Rey she likes this food so much." Said Rey's mother while putting the rawon into a container.
"Where is she now, Mom, does she live in this house?" Ask Vio.
Rey's mother sighed heavily, her face turning sad if she remembered her son.
"No, he's happy with his little family right now."
"Mothers must be very happy surrounded by people who love their mothers, such as husbands and sons-in-law or maybe even soon there will be grandchildren present in the midst of that happiness." Said Vio, he deliberately said that to fish and see the reaction of the mother-in-law of his brother.
For a moment Rey's mother stopped her work when she heard Vio's words, she was so expecting the happiness said by Vio just now and just guaranteed it in her heart without responding to Vio's words.
"It's ready." Said Rey's mother when all the wasps were already in the container and put in the bag .
"Mom didn't save her a little for mom and family?" Vio asked because he didn't see any rawon left on the table.
"No need, give all this to your family at home, especially to your sister who is pregnant young.Make this as a birthday gift from me."
Vio furrowed both his eyebrows, distraught by the words of Rey's mother.
"Today's my birthday, so give this to your family." Obviously Vio's mother seemed to understand the confusion of Vio .
"Mother's birthday? why don't you tell me, I can buy you a gift." Vio said that he was not happy because he only found out that the woman who was with him was currently having a birthday."
"No need."
"Can I do something for you, like there's a mother's unattainable desire, or is there something you want?"
"Nothing, a mother just wants the happiness of her children wherever she is." Said Rey's mother, the look on her face was not as happy as earlier, the birthday this time she passed with solitude, different from previous years, if she had a birthday then all the inhabitants of this house no one worked, no one worked,her husband and son will be at home all day with her, they will have a small party that does not invite anyone just her husband, Rey and Rosa.
Rey will spoil herself by buying her fancy gifts as well as her husband.
"And let's just say that mother's wish has now been granted." Vio said then stood up from his seat and took a plastic bag that was ready to be carried.
"Alright Mom, I came home first.thank you for making this, my sister and sister-in-law will love it."
"All right, until I greet them."
"Sure Ma'am."
Vio and Rey's mother went to the main door.
