Bu Anisa's voice was clearly heard from inside Velicia's room. The crying that had stopped was now back. Velicia's tears escaped without excuse.
Who wouldn't be hurt if it were said to be a woman who couldn't have children? As well as Velicia, she was very hurt to hear what her mother-in-law had to say about her.
In fact, it was not her who could not have children. It was very eager for him to say aloud in front of his mother-in-law if his son was the one who did not want to have children.
However, everything could only be harbored by Velicia. He can't tell everyone else.
Unfortunately Velicia's feeling was very painful, her tears were unwilling to stop just like that. Even now her cries are speaking.
His heart was so painful that it felt tight and very heavy to breathe. Like being hit by a stone that is so sharp that the chest feels pain and tears.
The closing of Velicia's mouth used her left hand so that her cries could not be heard by anyone. Only he knew how hurt he was by his mother-in-law's words.
His right hand rubbed with rough tears that were still coming out of his eyes. In his heart he said,
I cannot be weak. I have to be a strong and strong Velicia facing everything.
After that he laid his body on the bed with all his strength to block his tears from dripping back on his cheeks.
However, when his eyes closed, those tears seemed to spill from his container. Eyelashes that were flooded by the number of tears that were bearable, now escaped without being controlled anymore.
His eyes were tightly closed as if he had been hit by glue from his tears. He did not feel as though he was asleep in grief.
At the dinner table Ferdi and his mother are now in the house. They continued eating without a sound. They drift in each other's minds, blaming each other and justifying themselves.
"Let Ferdi take you home" said Ferdi when Bu Anisa finished eating and moved from her seat while carrying her used plates and glasses.
Bu Anisa looked at her son with a sharp look and smiled sinisterly at him. Then he said,
"Why? Did you throw this mother out?"
Ferdi sighed heavily from hearing his mother say something that could provoke a commotion with him.
"No Ma'am, it's just that Ferdi wants to drive Mom home in Ferdi's new car" said Ferdi with a smile so that his mother does not get angry again.
"You bought a car?" asked Anisa in surprise.
"Yes Ma'am," Ferdi replied with a proud smile.
"Gapain buy a Fer car, meningan increase the walk so that you are healthy. After all, you have been in good health for many years to any walk," said Bu Anisa with her rent.
"Let's not tired Mom. Sometimes we need a vehicle. For example right now, Ferdi wants to deliver Mom, would need a vehicle, right, Mom?" ferdi said in response to his mother's words.
"Not even gapapa. I used to take public transport. Then I don't ask for a shuttle with you anyway," said Ms. Anisa with her sewot.
"Here you go, ma'am, let's take Ferdi between. Lagian Ferdi wants to make Mom happy by delivering Mother using Ferdi's hard-working car," Ferdi said while embracing her mother's shoulder and smiling sweetly at her so that her mother's anger could subside.
"In a moment, let me get everything done," said Bu Anisa while cleaning up the old dirty dishes and glasses on the table.
After finishing washing everything, Ms. Anisa walked up to Ferdi who was watching television while pampering Lili who was on her lap.
"Velicia's sleeping, ma'am. Just let him sleep, Mom," said Ferdi, embracing his mother's shoulders and taking her out of her house.
Ferdi pressed his car keys until his car lights flickered and made a noise.
Beeps…
Then Ferdi opened the car door for his mother and said,
"Please come in my dear mother."
Anisa's mother smiled happily getting such treatment from her son. Then he got into the car and sat quietly in the seat next to the driver.
"This car is a good Ferdi. Smart you choose it," said Bu Anisa while looking at the entire contents of the car after looking back.
Ferdi smiled proudly at the words of his mother. Then he started his car engine and started driving.
"You should buy a car when your wife is pregnant so that she is not lazy to exercise on foot every day" said Ms. Anisa while looking at the street in front of her.
Ferdi sighed again hearing what his mother said.
"Mom, stop. Ferdi please do not reveal any more child problems. Ferdi wants to live a quiet life, Ma'am" said Ferdi, who protested his mother's words.
"Your wife is getting better now. It's because you're spoiling her too much" Anisa said sarcastically.
Ferdi intends to defend his wife, but he is lazy to argue back with his mother. Finally, he kept quiet so that his mother would no longer talk about the matter.
"May you pamper him, if he has managed to give you a child" Anisa said as she looked at the streets he passed.
"Mom, please stop talking about children. I beg Mom. Let me and Velicia live in peace" Ferdi said as he drove his car and said in a hopeful tone to his mother.
"Mother wonder, mother gave her herbal medicine since the age of your marriage stepped on two years, but until this moment Velicia was not also pregnant. Is he really okay? Even the herbal medicine that she drank every day, but did not get pregnant also she," said Bu Anisa with a look of wonder turned to Ferdi.
Ferdi swallowed his own saliva. Actually he did not want to put his mother and Velicia in this state. It was only his condition that made him make that decision.
Ferdi did not respond to his mother's words he was busy saying what was in his mind by saying in his heart,
Forgive Ferdi Ma'am. Not because Ferdi did not want to make Mother happy, but Ferdi did not want the little shadow Ferdi returned and happened to the child Ferdi.
"Didn't he drink it Fer?" asked Bu Anisa back who was astonished at her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, that Velicia-"
"Already Fer, you always defend your wife. Even though your wife at home is feeling good to sleep," said Bu Anisa back to remember the incident earlier. At the dining table.
Not so Ma'am, Velicia to enter the clinic because of taking herbal medicine that Mother gave him, Ferdi said in his heart while driving his car.
"We're just quiet? Is your wife barren?"
The question that came out of Bu Anisa's mouth was very striking Ferdi's heart. For his mistake, his wife was blamed by his mother. His innocent wife was a victim of Ferdi's selfishness.
