Love Above the Wounds
Dream Son-in-law
That night after Dicky came home from the hospital, they ate together at a large dining table in Dicky's house.
The atmosphere tonight is different because Pak Karta and Bu Eni enliven the atmosphere of the usually quiet dinner.
"A house this big don't you feel lonely? Don't you want to hear children's cries and laughter?" ask Bu Eni suddenly.
Dicky and Fitri looked at each other.
"Ehm, no ma'am, just pray Fitri will get pregnant fast, I also miss a child very much!" dicky answered at last.
"Well saucy! So dong, must be enthusiastic!" said Bu Eni while pointing her thumb.
"Sir, that's who you're using?" tanya Fitri switched the conversation.
"Oh, it's a loan car from Mr. RT, but only three days, so you can't stay here for long!" answer Pak Karta.
"Sir, if you'd like, I'd like to buy you a car for Mom and Dad, so you'll visit Fitri more often, without having to borrow a car from anyone else!" said Dicky.
Pak Karta and Bu Eni gasped at it.
"Really Dicky?" ask Bu Eni not to believe it.
"Yes, when I lied to my own in-laws!" answer Dicky.
"Son Dicky, don't bother, just save your money for your needs, especially if you have children later, there must be a lot of needs, right?" pak Karta sungkan.
"Don't you know, what is this father? The daughter-in-law wants the car rejected, Mr Sin rejects the windfall!!" sulk Bu Eni.
"Mom! Take care of Mom's attitude, you're ashamed, even if we don't love anything for a daughter-in-law!" assault Pak Karta while nudging Bu Eni's hand.
"Later the car will be sent from here, Father and Mother just calm down, this is my sincere gift!" said Dicky.
"Oh, son-in-law casep, sweet, a lot of money, generous again, the more affectionate Mother is with you Dicky! Really, this dream son-in-law is mah!" said Bu Eni while stroking Dicky's cheek.
After they finished eating, they began to relax while watching soap opera on television.
"Mas Dicky, so will you take me to Dara's house? I was thinking of Mas!" tanya Fitri who is now sitting next to Dicky, accompanying Pak Karta and Bu Eni watching.
"Is not the night Fit?" ask Dicky back.
"It's only seven o'clock, it's not yet night, I really want to talk to his parents!" answer Fitri.
"Dear, let's go, you know where the house is?" ask Dicky. Fitri nodded her head.
Then they immediately say goodbye to Pak Karta and Bu Eni who still seem fun watching it.
"Where are you going?" ask Bu Eni.
"To the house of the parents of the students briefly ma'am, there is business!" sahut Fitri's.
"Go home not at night! Later if you are tired when Fitri will get pregnant!" ma'am Eni warned.
"It won't take long, Mom!" answer Dicky.
"You be careful, boy!" pak Karta.
Then Dicky and Fitri started walking out towards the car garage. Suddenly Bu Eni pulled Fitri's hand.
"Fit, don't forget the dinner tonight!" ma'am Eni warned.
"Yes Mom!" sahut Fitri short, then immediately followed Dicky who had first climbed into his car. They immediately left the house.
"Ehm, that, Mas Dicky likes to drink no herbs?" ask Fitri.
"I've never drank Fit herbal medicine, people say it tastes bitter!" sahut Dicky's.
"If I love Dicky how?" ask Fitri again.
"If you make it, I'll drink Fit, because it's sure to turn sweet!" dicky said with a smile and a pinch of Fitri's chin.
"Mas Dicky Ah!" cetus Fitri pouted.
Before long they had arrived at the area near the school, precisely in the scavenger area.
"Fit, hasn't Kevin built a flats for the people here so they don't live in these wild huts anymore?" ask Dicky.
"Most of them had already moved into Mas's flats, but some people refused to move including Dara's family!" answer Fitri.
"They're stupid or what? At the facility love even rejected!" cetus Dicky's.
"It all depends on the mindset of Mas, such as when people who live on the banks of the river are flooded every year, there are facilities but they are more comfortable with the old place that is slum!" fitri.
Dicky clasped Fitri's hand tightly as they walked down the narrow path. While their car is parked on the side of the highway near the school.
"My wife is so smart apparently, I'm more proud and dear to you!" dicky said while kissing Fitri's fingers.
They had arrived at Dara's house, slowly Fitri knocked on the door that looked worn.
A few minutes later, Ms. Romlah, her mother Dara and Dina came out of her house.
"Good night, Miss Romlah!" sapa Fitri's.
"Mom Fitri? What's the matter with the nights coming here?" ask Miss Romlah with her sour look.
"Sorry Mom, I just wanted to ask, Dara came home first from school without my permission, then this afternoon when I went home, I saw Dara and her brother busking in the street, does Miss Romlah know this?" ask Fitri back.
"Mom, I told them to come home quickly, so they can busk quickly and get money!" sahut Bu Romlah.
"Geez Mom, they need to go to school, Mom, let alone Dara's a kid, still in first grade!" fitri.
"Master, I am scavenging from morning to evening, the income is pasan for eating sometimes less, if they do not help me, who else will help me, I am the widow Ma'am, no one is saving!" cetus Ms. Romlah.
Fitri was silent for a while, the economic crush did sometimes make people can do anything.
Suddenly Dicky approached, then clasped Fitri's hand back to make his wife's heart calm.
"Mother, I will give a monthly allowance of one million rupiah, provided that the children are allowed to go to school in accordance with the time, and they do not busk in the street again, do you agree?" ask Dicky suddenly.
Miss Romlah seemed to round her eyes.
"What Sir? You serious?" asked Ms. Romlah barely believed it.
"I'm not messing with my words, I'll give mom a million monthly money, Mom can scavenge, but let the kids stay in school and learn, how's Mom?" Dicky stared intently at Miss Romlah.
"Yes sir, I agree, but I promise you yes, do not be late for the monthly money!" answer Miss Romlah.
"Well, tomorrow I'll give you the money, but remember Mom, the kids have to stay in school!" said Dicky while holding Fitri's hand went past from that place.
