Mas Edra never let go of his grip from me, until he reached the restaurant we were headed.
"By, what's it eating?"
"What's Dee's favorite, Mas?"
"Kok nanyain Diana's favorite anyway, you yourself dong."
"Gga papa, let me tell you the same story later, Brother Dee. Hehe," I said laughing.
"He likes his beef steak, will you?"
"Aish, By no cow. Chicken steak, is there?"
"OK, chicken steak one, yes," said Mas
Edra to the waiter who came to us.
"By, I'm going to the toilet for a second, yeah. You're here, don't go anywhere."
"Iya, Mas."
I played my phone, as long as Mas Edra went to the toilet, until the food we ordered finally came. And I ate it greedily.
"Rubby...."
"Mrs... Mirna," I replied, nervous.
"Rubby, it seems, you are enjoying your life very much now," He said softly to Me.
"Yes, I'm enjoying it. Moreover, Brother Dee is so good with me. How, how's the madam?" ask, trying to be friendly.
"By, as good as it is... You should get used to calling me Mama, from now on. What's more, in front of Edra,"
"All right, Ma."
"Good, if you obey me. How's Diana?"
"Sir Dee, fine,"
"How's the illness? Is there any hope of recovery?"
"I... I don't know, Ma. Because I can't write anything. It all depends on treatment and Dee's own."
"You... Don't want to, Diana dies quickly?"
"Astaghfirullah, Ma. Not a single moment flashed, in my mind, about his death. In fact, I married Mas Edra too, with the aim to make him happy, and God willing to extend his life, even for a while."
"Munafic, you're Rubby. There is no honey who loves another honey,"
"But not with me and, Brother Dee."
"We'll see how resistant you are to being a second wife, By. You're only using Diana."
"Sorry, Ma. I was really sincere, caring for and loving him, like my own brother," Ku said, with restraining emotions.
Mama Mirna did not answer me yet, Mas Edra came from the bathroom.
"Ma, By. You guys are talking very seriously," said Mas edra, sitting next to me.
"Yes dong, honey. Anyway, this Rubby is one of Mama's daughters-in-law. So, Mama should be familiar with her."
"Good, if so," He replied, continuing to Eat.
I was tense, I was angry, but I couldn't say anything. I remember her treatment with Brother Dee some time ago. Just imagine, his first son-in-law alone, he could treat like that, let alone Me, who was just Honey.
"By, Mama go first. There's still a lot of business that Mama has to finish right," said his statement.
"Yes... Ma's. Careful," I replied.
Mama Mirna just turned her head around, and smiled cynically at me.
"Mama, tell me what, By?" ask Mas Edra.
"That's right, Mama is just going to eat," I replied, continuing to eat.
Mas Edra, just nodded and did not ask again after that.
"By, is this the time of her monthly shopping yet?" ask Edra to me.
"not yet. But no papa, mupung already in the mall."
"Yeah, yuk," asked Him, who again clasped my hand.
Author POV.
While at home, Diana was sitting on the sofa of her room, reading a book.
Hp Diana rang, seen if Mama Mirna called her.
"Mama, tumben," he said, and picked up the phone.
"Hallo, Ma,"
"Hay, Diana. How are you?"
"Dee, Fine. Tumben Mama called, what's wrong?"
"Yes, just wanted to say hello to you, Dee. Mama's scared, 'cause Mama hasn't heard kabarmy in too long, since her second marriage, Aledra."
"Mama don't worry. We're all fine here, Ma,"
"Oh yes... How did your sickness, still, survive on your body?"
"Mama wants Dee dead quick?"
"No... It's just, it seems that when you suffer, Honey and your husband are happy behind you."
"Yes... They are happy. But not behind Dee, Dee asked them to leave. "
Diana let out a long sigh, and continued their conversation.
"Ma...."
"Yes, honey. Why?"
"Don't touch Rubby."
"Don't touch her, Dee. Just look at it, Mama's lazy."
"Don't think Dee doesn't know Ma,"
"What, Dee. What do you want to accuse Mama? Don't be so prejudiced, Mama. Remember, you're not long anymore Dee."
"It is precisely because Dee knows, if Dee's age is not long anymore, so Dee will protect the people Dee loves, Ma."
"Dee, Mama doesn't like Rubby, and Mama won't deal with Rubby."
"Mama hypocrite. Dee knows, if Mama told Bi Nunik to keep pushing By, right?"
"Just find out, how he really is, Dee. You perturbed? Or even, you're going to fire Nunik?"
"Either, or rather Dee will make Nunik give the news of joy to Mama later, about the happiness of our family."
"Well, Mama wait for your happy strength. Happy break Dee, hopefully you can still open your eyes tomorrow" said Mama Mirna. By hanging up the phone.
Diana held onto her chest that was starting to tight, and inhaled the inhaler that was not far, from her seat.
Such was his In-law, behind his graceful and calm demeanor, stored millions of surprises that could hurt others so deeply. Even deadly.
"Ngga will let Dee, Mama tease Rubby. It won't" Diana said with determination.
Diana lay down again, and relaxed her mind, so as not to strain and could make her weak.

"Mas, the shopping is yuk. Tired," whine Rubby.
"All of you, sure?"
"Like, yeah. Usually nemenin Kak Dee, yes this is bought."
"Yaudah, here, let me pay, you just sit there," said Edra, pointing to the bench at the corner of the Mall.
"But this is the money" Rubby said, issuing his credit card.
"What is, you keep it. It's good for the same father Mother in the village," replied Edra, who put his credit card again into the Rubby bag.
"Thank you... Mas," your attention, to my family, Mas. Makes me feel another vibration, between us.
Rubby said, walking away was Aledra who was paying for groceries.
