FATE AND DESTINY
10. PLACABILITY
"Hm. Forgive alika ya tajudin's attitude. He is different from the others. He was indeed innocent in such a thing!" Said ema kindly.
"Yes ma'am it's okay, I understand!" Answer tajudin still with his flat face."
Alika Yang was in the room dropped her body on a soft mattress owned by her uncle. Alika was annoyed by the attitude of tajudin who complained to his mother. While alika covered the ugliness of her husband while he was at home tajudin. Tajudin followed alika to his room with a bag that alika brought. Ema makes food for lunch together. Tajudin could not be rude as long as he was in Alika's house. Because tajudin was afraid alika reported it to the mother. Alika who saw the tajudin was sitting at the bedside did not care about him. Alika just kept quiet and wanted to rest in peace. It did not feel like it was late afternoon they were asleep without seeing the time. Ema waited for them to wake up from their sleep in the family room while watching television. But only Alika who came out of her room was still wearing clothes when she came home earlier.
"Alika! You're not eating? It's late afternoon." Said Ema who saw Alika just woke up from her sleep.
"Yeah mah. I'm so hungry. What's your mom cooking?" Answer alika and ask ema what cooking is today.
"Mama cook vegetables asem, pecak tempe your favorite," said ema want to see alika eat with her cooking.
"Waahh it looks good! Alika eat first mah!" Sahut alika enthusiastically immediately ran a small towards the kitchen.
"Hey. Wait for your husband to wake up first, then serve him!" Shouted ema from the family room when she saw Alika running straight away.
"Aahh later. He is still sleeping" replied Alika who was impatient to eat as much.
Alika took the rice and the side dishes like a starving person not eating one week. Ema who saw alika taking an unnatural portion rounded her eyes that could not believe her daughter was eating that much.
"Alika! Are you still sane with your meal portions like that?" Ask ema with her eyes still wide.
"Alika there eats rice only once a day mah! Alika misses food like this, let alone mama's cooking that makes alika's stomach open wide." replied alika keceplosan until she again rounded her eyes wider.
"What! Do you eat rice only once a day? Is your husband so poor that he can't feed you?" Pekik ema immediately rose from her seat approaching alika who was sitting on the floor with a carpet.
"Ups! I'm flabbergasted." Muttered alika inwardly and glanced at ema at a glance."Yes mah. Alika was not there. Alika is always locked up in the house can not go anywhere. Mr. tajudin really hated alika since the first day of alika's stay. Tajudin's mother also did not like alika because alika just stayed in the room without doing anything. While the food there is a strange taste all mah, if never see food like that here. Tajudin also never told alika to eat, even alika wanted to work should not. Wanting to trade small was also forbidden by him, the reason I already have a husband and I take full responsibility for him. But Alika was not treated like a human being there. If Alika denied her remark she furiously slammed the door and left me home alone from morning until evening. Then he asked for his rights as a husband to be fulfilled, yes obviously alika refused mah!" Said alika at length poured all his heart on ema because it had already heard her keceplosan.
"Astaghfirullahal. What kind of husband married you, Alika? Less beautiful what my son is until he treats my son like that!" Murmured ema who heard the explanation from her son but was still heard by alika.
"Alika doesn't know mah either! Actually what's wrong until they have such a thing on alika!" Sahut alika with teary eyes while eating her food.
"Alika! If you only eat rice once a day, then aren't you hungry?" Ask ema in an investigative tone.
"I eat rice every morning when all of them have gone to the rice fields leaving alika alone at home. Rice is already there but the side dish is not there then alika take chicken eggs that lay eggs and cook alika in order to eat rice. After everyone came home, no one offered to eat. If alika out looking for food, tajudin always insinuate alika that makes alika heartache mah. I don't know what sin all this time get a man like tajudin. Alika regrets accepting her being Alika's husband." Alika curses at length to her mother while leaning her head on ema's chest.
"Prophey, baby. Hopefully this trial and test will lift your degree higher someday son," Sahut ema while rubbing his head gently.
They both shed their cries. Ema is very concerned about the fate of alika who is always hated by the people around her, no matter what her mistakes are until alika is always hostile for no reason. Ema can only give a briefing to alika in order to always respect tajudin's parents. Unless someone is rude to him, he should be able to behave. A mother is unrelenting to advise her child to always behave in order to be appreciated. Tajudin finally woke up from his sleep and saw Alika was crying in his mother's arms. Tajudin only greeted ema with a smile and then excused her to go to the bathroom to clean herself up. Ema who saw tajudin felt like slapping and finishing tajudin with her hands because it made her son unhappy. But ema is never rash if you are in emotion. Alika who saw tajudin already in the bathroom finally rushed to clean her clothes in the room to be neat. Tajudin had finished his bath and rushed towards the room to change his clothes.
"Alika! Why were you crying?" Tajudin asked who was curious about ema's different attitude towards her.
"It's okay! I just miss my mom and I still want to be with my mom." Sahut alika without turning his body which is still cleaning his clothes.
"Ooh..Did your mom talk about our problems?" Tajudin asked while wearing his clothes.
"Our problem? About what?" Alika asked Tajudin who did not understand her question.
"Hm. About bed!" Tajudin said curious about his flat tone.
"Mama didn't explain anything about it! We're just pouring out each other's longings!" Clearly alika without looking at the tajudin behind her.
"Have you eaten?" Tajudin asked who was hungry when he woke up from his sleep.
"I've eaten! If you are hungry eat! The kitchen has rice and the side dishes are all available." Alika who is lazy to serve her husband.
Tajudin did not answer Alika's remarks. Tajudin just went to the kitchen and took the food that was already available in the kitchen. Tajudin eat with a sitting position on the kitchen floor alone without being accompanied by alika. Tajudin could not behave arbitrarily while at home alika, he tried to be as friendly as possible in front of the mother-in-law. Ema who heard everything from alika changed her attitude to the daughter-in-law. Ema is disappointed with the tajudin who can never be friendly to her child. Alika is still cleaning her room. And ema also busy herself by watering her plants in the front yard.
