LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 182: TAKE OFF THE LOAD

    Again, Hamdan's brothers and his brother-in-law, were still asking about Hamdan's money and wealth. Many times Rini was called by her sisters-in-law. Still plus a phone call from his sister-in-law's wife that also adds to the problem. Of course the sisters-in-law and the wife of his brother-in-law demanded a share of the wealth of Hamdan.

    Well, that's if humans only serve property and wealth. Everything is always counted. The wealth of others is also counted. So greedy attitude, again that makes people always less, less and less. Never be grateful and never feel enough. And people like this usually never want to share, do not want to give, do not want to give, just want to receive and ask for. That's the mental ramshackle of greedy people. When in fact, if we observe, people who claim to be lacking, claim to be incapable, it will happen really. They will be impoverished by the Power.

    Rini was also astonished to feel the nature and attitude of the brothers from her husband. Even his brother-in-law also participated in the transmission. Come so ngiri, begging just like his sisters-in-law. Though in mind, the wife of his brother Hamdan, there is no blood relation with Hamdan. But why is the woman who is often called Bude also greedy, want to have the property of others?

    Yes, if you think, Pakde Hamzah and his wife, it is very well established and excessive. But why do they still bother to beg for a share of Hamdan's treasure? Well, do not go far, if only lebaran, every eid al-fitri, Hamdan is always confused to give part to his brothers and sisters when returning home. Already given money, souvenirs, various kinds of food and clothing, blatantly still asking for more money which he said to fix the house, change the roof. Including his sister's wife. Bude was the outspoken shameless one. If you ask frankly and mention the nominal. Cook until buying his son's motorbike must ask for money to Hamdan. Though it should be, it is Pakde who divide THR. Silvy alone, every time invited to go home, was never greeted with Pakde. Especially the others.

    Very different from people in general. Usually, the so-called homecoming event is delicious, exciting, fun. But according to Rini, it was a waste of money. One hundred million more, Hamdan had to shell out money, just for his brothers. While his wife and child, it never felt good wearing new clothes when Lebaran. For Rini and Silvy, Lebaran or not, yes the same. No word of clothes.

    There was once a neighbor who told me that going home was good. Later when he reached the village, by his brothers were given various kinds. There was a coconut, yes told to bring a coconut. His brother harvested rice, given rice. His brother had a banana, told to bring a banana. Even the chickens were told to bring. Like the word, if the homecoming was carrying a truck, then when returning to Jakarta, the truck was full of luggage from the village. That's what the neighbors said.

    But in the Hamdan family, the opposite. Like the word bring nothing, must have been asked by his brothers Hamdan. That was his brother Hamdan, who was used to nothing to ask Hamdan.

    But now Hamdan is no more. Hamdan is dead. There are no more people who depend on their income. Why are they still calling Rini to beg again? Don't they know that Rini's not working? What the hell do they want? They terrorize Rini, her brother-in-law who has no husband.

    After being called many times by her sisters-in-law, and also the wife of her sister-in-law, Rini was already very irritated. Rini's emotions increased by one hundred and eighty degrees. The tensile is also high. And the most unpleasant thing is to be accused of wanting to control her husband's property. How outrageous. So with great force, Rini called Hamdan's brother, Pakde Hamzah. The oldest person in the Hamdan family.

    "Hello, Mr. Hamzah .... This is Rini, Pakde ..., wanting to talk for a minute" Rini said as she called her sister-in-law.

    "Yes, Dik Rini .... What's up, yeah ...?" ask his brother-in-law.

    "Pakde .., tomorrow will soon be a forty-day celebration of the death of Mas Hamdan .... We ask Pakde, Bude, Aunt and Om and his wife's husband, to come to Jakarta all" said Rini. Of course it is not good if you directly convey the actual problem, it will be counted report. If invited at such an event, it will be more ethical and should indeed be invited.

    "Oh, it's been forty days huh, Hamdan's death. If I could myself, but what about your brothers .... I have to ask first." replied his brother-in-law.

    "Must come all, Mrde Hamzah .... Pakde, Bude, Aunt and Om and his wife's husband, must come to Jakarta all. Anyway must come" Rini stressed.

    "Yes, but to Jakarta you need money, Dik Rini ..." said his brother-in-law.

    "Pakde has a car .... Six people leave for Jakarta in one car can be ...!" rini said forcing.

    "Yes, Dik .... But what do your brothers want?" it's his sister-in-law.

    "It has to be .... Cook sends a prayer to his own brother if he does not want to. If there is a button just ask to whine with Mas Hamdan. His turn to pray for his brother was many reasons. What kind of brother is that?" rini said.

    "Dik Rini don't be so ..." her sister-in-law began to take offense.

    "The facts are so, Pakde .... Anyway tomorrow for the forty day event send a prayer to Mas Hamdan, I ask that all Mas Hamdan's brothers and sisters should come. I don't want any reason!" firmly Rini.

*******

    A prayer service to commemorate the forty days of Hamdan's death has been prepared. Rini didn't tell Mak Mun to cook. Mak Mun and Mang Udel were only asked to arrange a place. All the dishes have been handed over to the caterer. Starting from small food large meals and drinks, all have been encouraged by catering. Including dus who will be taken home by the guests who pray.

    Towards Maghrib, Pakde Hamzah's station car came, and parked in front of Rini's house. Six people got out of the green car. Then go to Rini's house.

    "Ee ..., Pakde ...." Silvy, who knew his uncle was coming, immediately welcomed his regret. Then also greet bude, om and tantenya, and wife and husband of om and tantenya.

    "Avy .... Have you got a baby yet?" ask Pakde Hamzah.

    "Yet, Pakde .... Tomorrow only if it is more established." said Silvy plain.

    "Ee ..., not tomorrow-tomorrow .... As soon as you have children, let the house be crowded" said the father again.

    "Yes, Pakde .... Please sit down first, Pakde ..., Bude ..., Om.., Aunt ..." said Silvy who went straight in, of course to see his mother, to see her mother, and to meet her mother, told him that his father's family had arrived.

    True too, in an instant Rini was already out welcoming her brothers-in-law.

    "cn .... Pakde, Bude, Om, Aunt. Just sit inside, later that's here for the neighbors" said Rini welcoming her husband's brother.

    After greeting, Rini invited her brothers-in-law into the family room. Of course to be more comfortable, not disturbed guests who come.

    "Mr Mun ...! Get me a drink for Pakde, Bude, Om, Aunt .." Rini told Mak Mun.

    Mak Mun who is always sprightly, in an instant has brought a tray containing drinks. Then he presented to the brothers Hamdan who were certainly thirsty because of a long journey. After distributing the drinks, Mak Mun without being ordered by his master, had returned again, came carrying small food dishes.

    "Mango, Pakde, Bude .... Here is the warm tea, please drink ..." Mak Mun told his guests.

    "Sorry, Pakde .... Me while the arrangement, yes ..." said Rini who is certainly still busy preparing the event.

    "Since maghrib, Pakde ..." answered Rini, which of course in passing, because there are still many jobs.

    "cn .... Pakde, Bude, Om, Aunt ..., has arrived ..." said Yayan who immediately greeted the brothers of his wife.

    "Who is this ...? How do I pangling ...?!" pakde Hamzah said.

    "Yayan, Pakde .... Her husband is Silvy." replied Yayan.

    "Oh, Mas Yayan .... Hamdan's son-in-law. In fact, I forgot .." said Pakde Hamzah.

    "Yes, Pakde .... Please taste the snacks, Pakde, Bude, Om, Aunt .., I want to help arrange the mat first." said Yayan who immediately came out to arrange the place of the guests who will join send a prayer for his in-laws.

    One by one guests arrive. Especially the neighbors and people who after returning from the mosque directly to Rini's house. They began to fill the inner space, then filled the living room, and filled the terrace of the house. The guests are quite numerous. Everyone wants to pray for Hamdan's spirit. The celebration sent a prayer for the late Hamdan, solemnly carried out until it was completed. Everything smoothly. All solemn.

    The prayer ended with a meal together. Of course it is festive for familiarity, between the neighbors and Rini's family. Especially when coming home, the guests who pray for the spirit of Hamdan, still bring souvenirs for his family at home. Rini, Silvy and Yayan who were standing in front, greeted all the guests who were bidding home. That was the familiarity that Rini wanted to build with her neighbors.

    After all, Rini had only met freely to her brothers-in-law. Of course there is a burden that wants to be shed there.

    "Pakde, Bude, Om, Aunt ..., come home tomorrow right ...?" asked Rini who was sitting with her brother-in-law in the living room.

    "I plan to go home tonight .." replied his sister-in-law.

    "I'm sorry, Pakde, Bude, Om, and Auntie. So if you can go home tomorrow" said Rini again, who would like to discuss the Hamdan family issue.

    "Deliver what ...? If you can now, just tell me now" said his brother-in-law.

    "It's a family thing. Bude, Om, and Auntie's problem ..." said Rini.

    Of course hearing Rini's words, her husband's brothers began to look down. Look worried.

    "What problem?" ask Pakde Hamzah.

    "Look Pakde .., Mas Hamdan no longer exists. We just prayed for forty days. May Mas Hamdan be calm in the afterlife. But frankly, I'm not comfortable with Bude, Om, Aunt .., who always calls me asking for a share of Mas Hamdan's wealth." Rini hasn't finished talking, but she's cut off.

    "You can do that ...?!" Pakde Hamzah who was shocked by Rini's words, immediately asked.

    "Ask the wife of Pakde and Pakde Hamzah's sisters" replied Rini cynically.

    Naturally hearing that, the three so-called men with his husband and wife immediately lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads.

    "That's so ...?!" Pakde Hamzah asked his wife and sisters. Of course with anger.

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Hamzah .... Pakde is Mas Hamdan's oldest brother. I will not say what my own brothers have told me. But I just want to say, frankly with the death of Mas Hamdan, of course we have no income anymore. I have no source of income. I don't want to mess with my brother. Nor would they be terrorized by their own brothers. I want to live a quiet, peaceful and comfortable life. Therefore, I beg Mas Hamdan's heritage house, tonight I will leave it to Mas Hamdan's brother and sisters. I couldn't afford to take care of a house this big. I want to stay at my daughter-in-law's house. Living with children and daughters-in-law." said Rini who certainly very piercing feelings of his brothers. Especially his brother-in-law, who suddenly had problems with his sisters.

    "I'm so, Sister ...?" ask Pakde Hamzah.

    "I've been thinking long, Pakde .... I don't want to be in terror. My son is still able to feed me, kok ..." said Rini with a smile, of course a smile that mocked his brothers.

    Rini knew, even though they were looking down, but when she heard the words of Rini who gave up the luxurious and big house, surely her heart was happy, happy, happy, her terror succeeded.

    "Try this problem we talk about again .... There may be another better way" said his brother-in-law.

    "No need, Pakde .... I have been sincere. No need to talk about it anymore. We only ask for permission to eat the goods, it is also only an important item. Give us a few days to pick things up" said Rini who was very calm and not sad at all.

    "Yes, Om, Aunt, Pakde, Bude .... This house is now the right of the family of the late Papah. Mama has no rights. I also have no rights, because I am just a foster child. There is no blood tie. So we are sincere. Mamah will stay with us." said Silvy who also did not want to be fussed by the problems of his father's brothers.

    "But this is not true .... You are Hamdan's wife and son. It should have been you, Dik Rini ..." Her brother-in-law still could not accept Rini's excuse.

    "Already, Pakde .... I'm really sincere ..." said Rini while patting her sister-in-law's shoulder.

    Rini's sister-in-law fell silent. Come bowing your head. But this is true to feel confused and sad. Wanting to be angry with his wife and sisters, of course also not tasty, because it is in people's homes. It is not good to hear the neighbors. But what his wife and sisters did was a very shameful and inappropriate deed. Why his wife and sisters are like that. This is called taking people's property. Of course there will be punishment from the Most Just.

    "Alright, Dik Rini .., if that is what Dik Rini wants with children. We thank you for all of that. But tonight we go home. Property business, let it be tomorrow. We beg you to say goodbye" said Pakde Hamzah who immediately rushed to bring his wife and sisters home.

    Rini smiled as she hugged her daughter. Of course there is a sense of fatigue that has been released. The burden is gone.

    Yayan was grateful and smiling, watching his mother-in-law and his wife who turned out to be very wise and could really take his life away from material problems. It's not easy to find a good wife like this.
