First Wife's Last Tears
What wrong?!

Weekend.

This morning Lisna had just arrived at her mother-in-law's house. Often every weekend she and her husband stayed at her in-laws' house.

"Kok came alone? Mas Fauzi where, mbak."

That's Fitri, Fauzi's youngest brother. Still in college last semester, but he's his son today really, judes and also arrogant.

"Mas Fauzi will follow, he has an appointment with his friend." Lisna replied while taking out the cooking ingredients from under her motorcycle seat.

"Which mom, Fit?"

"It's in the kitchen." The answer immediately melengos into the house without wanting to help Lisna who has trouble carrying a lot of plastic grocery bags.

Lisna sighed three times, then she stepped in with her bag.

"Ma, cook what?"

Sapa Lisna while putting her shopping bag on the dining table.

"Mother's ghost has come." Smiling at Lisna. "This is mama again the rendang manasin that Yuni bought yesterday. It's an expensive rendang he said."

"Yuni came yesterday huh, ma?"

"No, he bought the rendang via online which was sent directly here as a courier."

Lisna smiled, then took over the task of stirring the fainter from the hands of her mother-in-law.

"But he said Yuni and her family would also like to sleep, they will arrive later in the afternoon or maybe evening."

Fatimah sat on the dining table chair while checking the grocery bag Lisna was carrying.

"Have you paid, Lis?"

"Yet, ma. Why?"

"It's okay, but you're buying fish, shrimp the same all meat. Is it not wasteful.." Her typical babble is mama-in-law.

"It just so happens that there's more money, ma. So yes bought a side dish. Mom likes it."

"Yes, my mom likes it. But, later mama even diatai in-laws who like ngerepotin. Your husband's mother's son is unemployed."

"Who said that mama was a troublesome in-law?"

"Yes there, neighbor. They always gossip, he said every time you come to the house mama always brings a lot of groceries, even though your husband is unemployed." Her chatter while arranging groceries into the refrigerator.

"Don't be heard ma. Let them gossip. I'm happy to bring a lot of side dishes for my mom. You know I don't have parents, so for me, you're not just my parents-in-law, you're my parents." Entertain Lisna.

He took a bowl to put the finished rendang heated.

"What other cooking, ma. Want to make sous shrimp, ma?"

"Ah, no need. The rendang is a lot, enough of that first, later redundant if too many side dishes."

Lisna nodded in understanding. He sat in a chair facing his mother-in-law.

"Where were the results of the test to the clinic yesterday? What the doctor said. You're not barren, are you?"

The last sentence made Lisna feel anxious. She could not explain the name of her illness to her mother-in-law, but nevertheless she had to give an answer to her mother-in-law.

"Gini ee, ma. The doctor said I had a hormonal disorder. So, it is difficult to conceive. But, a lot of kok ma, women who also have the same hormonal abnormalities as me, but finally can get pregnant really, ma."

Fatimah's face seemed flat in response to Lisna's story about her illness.

"Yes, the point is you're not gonna have any kids anytime soon, are you?"

Lisna hesitated.

"Huh, long enough also yes mama had to wait to be able to hold the grandson of the first son of mama." He mumbled looking disappointed.

"I'm sorry, ma."

"No need to apologize, Lis. You'd better take medication to get pregnant fast."

After saying that, Fatimah immediately passed away leaving Lisna alone pensive in the kitchen.

"Any grandmother's favorite granddaughter."

Welcomed Fatimah immediately embraced her favorite twin grandchildren because they were her first grandchild from her second son, Firman.

"Mbak Lisna's. Healthy, mom?" Saya Firman smiled kindly.

"Thank God be healthy."

"Mdak look tired?" Yuni whispered while stroking the back of Lisna's hand gently.

Lisna only smiled faintly in response to the words of her sister-in-law's wife who actually did not like her. Yuni will only be kind to Oral when there is Word or Fauzi. Meanwhile, in front of her mother-in-law, Yuni is free to mock and vilify Lisna.

"Where's Fauzi, mbak?" Ask the Word when he does not see his brother in the house.

"Just come out. I used to meet his friends." Lisna replied with a smile.

Firman nodded in understanding, then they followed the twins who had been brought into the house by the mother.

The atmosphere of Sunday night is always crowded when there are twins. What else is their cute and adorable demeanor that can never make the family stop laughing.

"Tante Lis. Anterine." Whining little Mike at Lisna while the others were watching Mika with random behavior.

"Mike's gonna pee, yeah. Yeah, well, aunt anterin to the toilet." Lisna pulled Mike into the back room.

He painstakingly helped Mike take off his pants, then helped him squat by still holding the hand of the little guy who had become his habit when he wanted to pee or pup if accompanied by Lisna.

"Can't you pee standing up?"

"Yes dear. If the pee should squat, it shouldn't stand."

"But, auntie. but Angga peed it up."

"O yeah?" Lisna helped Mike wash his pee marks.

"Hhmm.." Let's say Mike's sure.

"Later Mike just said Angga, if the pee should not stand up, but should squat."

"I told you aunt. But he's angry at me."

Lisna smiled at Mike's cute style when saying angry words that became even, because Mike could not call the letter R correctly. The age of the twins has only entered five years.

"Pair up the pants first, baby."

That's Yuni's voice. He pulls Mike's pants from Lisna's hands. Then put those pants back on Mike.

"Mike go back to the living room first, baby. Mama wants to talk to Aunt Lisna."

"Yes, ma." Mike runs a little leaving two adults who have to chat.

"Mac PCOS, huh?" Tanya Yuni arrived.

"Yes, Yun. I checked into the clinic yesterday."

"It means right guesskankun, mbak it is not fertile. Poor Fauzi and mom who's been patiently waiting for the last seven years."

"Mas Fauzi never took this issue, Yun. After all, why the hell do you like to interfere in my household affairs.."

"That's because I hate you. I really wish Fauzi would divorce Lisna."

"Astaghfirullah, Yuni. You hate me that deep? What's my fault, Yun. What have I done until you hate me this much."

Yuni turned her face away, "Because Lisna was her first love in Firman." Mumbled slowly.

Lisna's eyes trembled upon hearing Yuni's confession that had been completely unknown all along. It is true, the Word who first knew Lisna. But the Word never reveals what Yuni said. Even Fauzi was the one who expressed love and proposed to her.
