EXILED IN THE FAMILY

EXILED IN THE FAMILY
Insults from the in-laws


Not lost disappointment and pain because of the treatment he received from his own exit, now, the family from the husband came to harass his small family again.


''Mas, Mama is sick,'' at night, Nadia, Bima's sister visited Bima's house and gave the news. Because it has been almost for a week Bima did not visit the house of the mother, because of his busy selling ketoprak.


''Oh yeah? When did you start getting sick?'' bima asked a little worried, the two brothers were sitting on chairs on the porch of the house. Bunga and Dinda are in the house. Dinda makes warm tea to host Nadia, her sister-in-law.


''At noon, when Mama knew her sister Dinda married but did not invite Mama, Mama suddenly got sick, because her tension was high, '' explained Nadia.


''Hm, sorry, Mas also do not know anything about the invitation,'' reply Bima a little misbehaved. From the past both from the Bima family and from the Dinda family have never been able to get along. Because the families of both sides both disagree with the marriage of Dinda and Bima.


''The basis for weird, yes, the family of Mbak Dinda and Mbak Dinda themselves, cook already received new besan but forgot the same old besan. I do not think why the hell Mas want to marry with Madam Dinda first, Nadia said with annoyance.


''Come on, Nad, don't talk about it anymore. Now Mas and Mbak already have Flowers, we are happy,''


''Lying if someone says life is poor but happy. Alaah, Mas's nonsense, because since marrying Dinda, Mas's life is getting worse and there is no progress at all. That's why Mas heard what is said to be the same Mama first, mending Mas married Iren my friend first, Iren 'will be rich, Papa has a fairly large oil palm plantation,'' nadia said again, Nadia is also married, Iren is the name of her close friend who is still a girl.


''Let's talk about it again, Nad.'' Bima said with intonation up an octave, he really did not accept Nadia who dared to say presumptuous to him.


''Yes, it is. Mama's asking Mas to come to Mama's house right now,''


''Yes, Mas will change clothes first, all Mas want to invite Mbak Dinda and Bunga to participate,''


''Yes, I'll go home first, then,''


''Yes, be careful on the road, yes, Deck.''


''Yes,'' replied Nadia, after which she passed away leaving the house of the older brother.


After Nadia's return, Bima went into the house, once she arrived at the doorway, his body almost hit the body of Dinda who was holding a tray on top of her there is a warm tea and snacks in the form of pastries.


''Lho, where's Nadia, Mas?'' ask Dinda.


''He just got home, Dek.''


''I'm in such a hurry!''


''Mama's sick, and we're asked to go there now. Already, the tea and snacks you put in the back again, yes. We need to get ready for Mama's house,''


''Alright,'' replied Dinda, after which she walked backward, while Bima went into her room.


Upon arriving at the back, Dinda let out a long sigh, earlier, when she was about to put down a drink for Nadia, Dinda overheard the chatter between Nadia and Bima. Until he made his step stop in the doorway. Honestly, Dinda felt slapped hearing what Nadia said earlier.


***


Upon arriving at her parents' house, Bima just went straight to greet and kiss the back of the hand of the woman who had given birth to her, followed by Dinda and Bunga as well. The mother was lying on the bed with a slightly pale face.


Dinda brought the fruits of her hands that she bought on the trip. There are fruits: Bananas, oranges, and pears. Dinda put the fruit on the nightstand next to the bed.


From earlier Dinda slightly misfocused staring at the woman sitting on the side of the bed next to her in-laws. The article, which Dinda knows, the woman is Iren, the woman who had been in a match with Bima first, but Bima rejected Iren because Bima prefers Dinda to be made his wife.


''Ma, sorry, Bima has not visited Mama for a few days, Bima has been busy lately, Bima said while kneading the little arms of the mother.


''You are already big, so you feel you do not need Mama anymore, '' The Mama replied.


''How could you say that? Bima promised after this Bima will often visit Mama,''


''Hm, ''' Mama Bima just cleared a little. Then after that he tried to get up, sitting on the bed.


''Swallow, Ma, '' said Dinda, helping her mother-in-law, holding her arms and shoulders.


''No, let Iren alone, ''' Bu Sari, Bima's mother brushed off Dinda's small hand, making Dinda feel contemptuous in front of Iren and the others. Dinda lowered her face while regulating her heartbeat, really at this time she did not want to look weak in front of anyone, she also held back her tears so as not to come out. Bima who saw that then said to his wife.


''It's been, Deck, just sit here.'' Bima said while pulling Dinda's hand, he asked Dinda to sit in the chair next to him.


Dinda said, his mouth was a bit mute, he could not say a word.


''Why is Iren here?'' ask Bima finally.


''Iren accompanies her every day, Mama, because she cares about Mama. Unlike you guys, Sari said ketus. Dinda and Bima were only able to add to their sense of patience in facing their parents. The flower from earlier was still sitting lightly on Bima's lap, Sari did not greet her grandson at all.


''Not so, Mas Bima, now I have become a village midwife in this village, so I know that Mama is sick and previously I like to play here because I visited Nadia,'' obviously Iren, Iren had always called Sari Mama.


''Oh,'' Bima replied briefly, because she no longer knew what to say.


''Great ''now Iren, he is now a village midwife,'' Sari boasts of Iren's profession, he even holds Iren's hand, it seems that he loves Iren very much. Seeing that, Dinda felt a little jealous of Iren, because her mother-in-law loved other women more than her daughter-in-law in the house.


''Congratulations, yes, Iren, '' said Dinda.


''Yes, thank you, '' Iren replied.


''Are you still home now? Still not working? Still relying on your husband? Nowadays women and men must both have jobs, so that more income and so as not to be a burden on the husband!'' Sari insinuates Dinda.


''Ma!'' Bima snapped at the mama, really according to her the mama has been so outrageous to the wife.


''What? That's the truth, isn't it, Bima? It's better that you part with Dinda, then marry Iren, Iren's side will still accept you, Sari also raised her tone. The atmosphere in the room was getting hotter, like the feeling of Dinda, who was hot and torn to shreds hearing the insults from the in-laws.


''Ak, excuse me to go to the bathroom first, ''' Dinda said in a hoarse voice, after which with wide footsteps she came out of the room of the in-laws.


Seriate.
