Housewife
Heartache

Mom was not feeling well so I invited my wife and son to come to my mother's house. While Rani's mother can only come tomorrow because her husband is still working and can not leave.

Ningsih looks tidying up clothes into a bag, in case if later stay at home mom even though the distance of our house is only different sub-district but if you have to go back and forth is also tired.

"Are you all ready?"

"Already" answered Ningsih then. somehow my wife always looks depressed when she will meet my family. What else if there's Bastian and Siska at mom's house.

It seems Ningsih is upset that our son is always compared to Bastian's. And the parents look more affectionate with Bastian and Siska's son.

I grabbed the car keys and put in the things that Ningsih had arranged.

Arriving at the mother's house, we were greeted by the father who stood in front of the gate while holding Bastian's son.

"So brother Bas has arrived first?" tanya Ningsih hesitated. He looked heavy when he stepped foot into the mother's house.

I saw at the table empty, not as usual when the mother is healthy, the mother will cook a lot if the children gather at home.

"Where have you been late? mom needs help. Deliberately come late so don't bother?!" spray mom.

"Mom already, mother will be sick again do not get angry later even more sick" said I Melerai mother's nagging that I know in the address to my wife Ningsih.

Ningsih paid no heed to mother's innuendo. He went to the guest room and put our change of clothes on the bed. Then he went out again and caught up with the mother who was in the kitchen.

"You will go to the market and shop for vegetables. Mom can not go to the market Because you should not be tired. tomorrow mother there is a health checkup schedule"

"Yes Mom, what are you shopping for?" tanya Ningsih prepared to record every groceries ordered by mother.

My mother is a woman who is good at cooking.when shopping, she is also observant and groceries never disappoint. There is no wrong choice of vegetables or seasonings.all are fresh and in good condition and affordable prices.

My wife Ningsih is actually also good at cooking. But in the eyes of the mother she was like a daughter-in-law who could not cook.

"Buy cabbage, carrots, tempeh, same fish"

"Yes ma'am, will we cook what Mom?"

"You're cooking the vegetable soup, I'm going to take a break"

I saw Ningsih's face a little doubtful. My wife must not be confident when my mother asked her to cook for all family members, even though my wife's cooking is delicious.

Half an hour we swiveled around in the vegetable and fish los. finally the shopping cart was full of fill. Not to forget Ningsih also bought a mother's order tempe.

Arriving at home, Ningsih went straight down to the kitchen to wash vegetables and mix them. Sometimes I hear him ask mom a few things about cooking.

I who was carrying Emma also noticed Ningsih in the kitchen. I see my wife is deft as usual and the vegetable soup is ripe. continued he fry tempeh and fish and then make sambal.

Everything is on the dining table. I gladly and gladly took the plate for our family.

I brought rice for my mom and dad. Missing from my estimate, my father even ate vegetables yesterday from the shop next door. The vegetable actually looks not fresh.

"Lho sir why use vegetables side dishes? why not use vegetable soup made by Ningsih?" ask the man who started eating.

"It's the same" replied the father.

Mother also took rice with a little vegetable soup. Mother did not take any side dishes and looked less appetizing eating Ningsih cuisine.

"Mom try the fish is delicious" I said to get the fried fish and I'll put it on my mother's plate. Mom immediately refused him by sliding her plate.

"Mother is coughing does not eat fish, throat hurts" replied the mother.

This heartbreak saw my wife treated in such a way by my father and mother. Bastian and Siska choose to eat out.

I pity Ningsih who has worked hard to cook but not appreciated. I ate a lot of Ningsih's cooking at least it could treat her heartache.

Ningsih was silent not speaking a word. I saw him take a lot of vegetable soup in his bowl and then a side dish of tempeh and fish. Finished eating Ningsih took the fish on a plate and gave it to the cat in front of the house.

The father who saw it seemed to know that my wife was heartbroken. Then I went inside and I saw Ningsih painstakingly finishing the vegetable soup in the pot.

I want to cry seeing it like that. I invited Ningsih and the children to take a walk around the market.There if it was a crowded late afternoon with a sword of five feet.

Ningsih looks happy even though she does not want to buy something. I tried to offer him but he refused.

seriate....

We left the house for about an hour and went back to my mother's house. Arriving at home, the mother and father put on a sour face. I u and dad don't like to see us out. Mother looks angry and sniffled at Ningsih. Father is too.
