Due to Prohibited CBC
The arrival of mother-in-law

I was very surprised to hear it, without telling me first that Angga let his mother stay with them. I am worried because of it, because the mother-in-law is famous for meddling in her son's personal affairs. I didn't make up any stories, that's the fact. 

I rubbed my face violently, there was not much I could do other than accept the sudden arrival of my mother-in-law. I remembered how he treated me while at the seven-monthly event of Ratih, his spicy words are still embedded in my mind to this day.

I stared sadly at the blue money, which was enough to buy the desire of a mother who wanted to eat meat rendang. Not to mention buying coconut milk, ground chili, spices and gas that happened to run out made my head almost explode. 

"Where to buy enough beef" I murmured. If I don't do it, then Mas Angga must be mad at me. Inevitably I was forced to make the food in a frugal way, which was to buy meat one-eighth of a kilogram. 

"Why are you dreaming there? Quickly go to the market, remember you have to save." 

"Yes, it's." I took a deep breath and took it out slowly, lucky I'm not crazy to have a husband like Angga. "Jagain the King and the Queen." 

"Yes-yes, really bad for you." Absentmindedly. 

I'm not sure I left the kids with Angga mas, what will happen later. But, I hope everything's okay. I hurried off to chase time, buying half a handful of beef for me to cook into rendang. 

I handed fifty thousand money to the beef seller, the request from the Angga mas makes me dizzy seven roving. After buying the ingredients, I decided to go home and hope that the Angga mas would not comment anything on the amount of meat I bought. 

"Why so long," grumbled the Angga who stood at the door waiting for my arrival. 

"You think the distance to the market is close? Where's the mediocre money and I'm forced to walk." My reply is no less fierce, it could be like Angga mas against me. I immediately greeted the Queen in my hands, as she gave it. 

"That's the beef? Why so little?" 

I want to rub durian skin on the face of Angga mas. "Fifty thousand got what? Rendang also needs spices, chili, onions, and others. Still grateful that much money I can buy meat, do not protest much if giving money Mas always calculation." 

"That's how smart you are to set it up." 

"Regulating from Hong Kong, try deh Mas own shopping to the market. Ask about the prices of basic goods and basic goods, everything." 

Again and again Angga did not want to know, although I saw a glimpse of his facial expression that believed my words. Did he think that the shopping money was enough? Even I was forced to take the money in the piggy bank that I had kept for a long time.

"Quick cooking, can not complain much of the gift of the husband." 

"Heh, it's up to you, Mas." I walked into the kitchen and struggled on the kitchen utensils and created the cuisine my husband wanted.

Long enough I finally finished my cooking, rendang beef. It was very tiring to cook it, there were a few slices of meat rendang inside the small sized glass plate. 

"Hopefully the mother doesn't comment, the meat is enough for her alone." I muttered while putting it in the food cabinet to last until tomorrow. 

****

I saw Angga mas welcoming his mother, I was about to approach but a little shocked to see a large suitcase carried by my mother-in-law. "Eh, didn't you just stay for a few days? Then, why did he bring one big kpper?" my mind wondered, I felt a foreboding feeling that my mother-in-law would be staying with us. 

"Dance, why are you staying there? Salim with mom!" mas Angga's decree made me rush to greet my mother-in-law's hand and kiss her. 

"Where is the King and Queen?" 

"They're still sleeping, ma'am."

"Why did you let them sleep at nine in the morning? It's not like you're a mother." 

I felt a bloodless pain, why did my mother-in-law say that. "Where are you going?" I was chasing her footsteps into the bedroom. 

"Waking up my two grandchildren, they should have woken up and bathed, not slept." 

"Surely you will not be able to take care of them, you should give distance to the King and Queen. It's hard to go on a show like this!" 

"Not that I don't want to be what Mom said, but the Angga themselves forbid me to use KB." 

At first glance the mother-in-law turned her attention to the Angga mas. "Certainly so?" 

"True Ma'am, I don't want Tari to get fat because of the side effects of using KB." 

"Basic fool. You also Dance, you should be KB, if this is pity your child is not perfectly managed. Your mind is so narrow, your wife can diet." 

Mother scolded both of us, I just sighed while listening to her chatter. 

"Breaks out you're making Mom hungry. Dance, prepare the food!"

"Good Mom." 

I hurriedly prepared a meal welcoming the arrival of my mother-in-law, serving food as is. 

"Snake one small plate? Which is enough for Mom. You how the hell Angga, you will know that Mother is most glad to rendang beef of course with more portions than this."

Suddenly, Angga gave his mistake to me. "Mas Angga gave me fifty thousand to buy meat, so I could only serve the small plate." 

"People." 

"People have money just so much Mom, don't comment at least I eat beef rendang." 

"You are Tari, as a wife, you should help your husband make money. Aren't you the former TKW in Taiwan?" 

I only heard blasphemy coming out of my mother-in-law's mouth, because I didn't take it seriously and just thought of it as a passing wind.

"I saw my mom carrying a big suitcase, where did you go?"

"Sumpek's mother lived in that small house, at least this house is wider."

"So you live here?" 

"Of course, I'll stay here because Mom's house was sold yesterday." 

"W-what?" 

Mom looked at me fiercely. "Why? We don't like you living in your house?" 

"It's not so, Mom. Why do you sell the house of the father-in-law?"

"It's up to Mom to sell, after all I want to go for a walk and heal with Mom's friends later." 

I never thought about my mother-in-law, maybe she sold my father-in-law's house that strictly forbids to sell it. You can easily sell just for pleasure without thinking about fate later on. 

"Lisa will also stay here, the house is already sold. Prepare a room for her too!" 

"Oh my God, what is this ordeal?" my mind grunts.
