Love Can, But Don't Be Stupid...
Equally Hard

"Darling, can't you think why we did this? What we're doing is all for your own good, baby! We just want to protect us, your husband and in-laws are not good people, In. They just want to use you!" said Mama Sofie trying to make Indri aware and think.

Indri stared intently at Mama Sofie. "For my own good? Not Ma! All of this is for your good. When my friends are free to have fun, but not with me Ma. I fought to make Mama and Papa my pride. But now, you guys take it all for nothing. Indri please return Pa, Ma... Indri urgently needed this time for the cost of Arya hospital!"

Indri still defended Arya and Mama Amel by not telling all yes g has he experienced. He also does not want to be the scorn of Nissa, the woman he used to blame for leaving Arya. A very nice man according to him. In reality, what Nissa said was all true.

"If Papa still doesn't want to return, what do you want, In? What are they gonna do to you? Are they gonna torture you?" ask Papa Nando.

Indri just keep quiet and keep covering the reality. He believes that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow they will change and return to how they were. Provided Indri get the money and the condition returns to how it was. He was sure if everything he had came back, Mama Amel and Arya would return to treat him well as before.

"Father don't be so ignorant! Now, Indri asks Papa to give him back sm he belongs to Indri. Indri has been fired by Mas Marvell. Indri needs all that Pa, I need to catch up with Mas Arya to the hospital, Pa." Indri insisted and pleaded with her father.

"As you insist, Papa will remain so. If you continue to defend him, then you better get out of this house, never come again if only to ask for money or other valuable objects. Because Papa would never give it to her. Come back if you realize your stupidity all along. The love that you are proud of and glorify only makes you blind, not only blind in the eyes but also blind in the heart!" said Papa Nando.

Papa Nando leaves Indri. Tears rolled down the two cheeks of the woman. I don't know where else he'll get the money to pay for Arya's hospital fees. Indri then looked at his mother who was still sitting on the sofa. She was standing in front of Mama Sofie.

"Ma, please! Help Indri, Ma. Indri needs to make the cost of Mas Arya hospital. Don't you feel sorry for Mama's daughter-in-law?"

"Mama will never pity someone who doesn't have a day and treats your child badly! Never expect your mom to help you again. This time Papa can no longer stand in the way of your Papa's decision!"

Indri finally cried while leaning against the wall. He could have imagined if he came to the hospital but did not bring money, surely Mama Amel would send insults and swearing to him.

"Go home, In. Think and reflect on what Mom and Dad said. Maybe you haven't realized that what we're doing is both for your own good, to protect you. Go home, Mama's tired and willing to rest."

Mama Sofie then stood up leaving Indri who was still sobbing. Indri is still thinking about how to get money that day. He continued to wipe away his tears that kept flowing as if he was reluctant to stop. His hands dropped, then stopped as he sensed that something was coiling around his neck at this moment.

"Why can I forget, I still have a gift necklace from Mama and Papa first. This must be a good price." murmured Indri.

Indri immediately left his parents' house and headed to the nearest gold shop. But his steps became hesitant when he remembered if the necklace letter he was currently wearing was in the jewelry box that was currently on his Papa confiscated.

...*****...

Indri walked quickly even half ran to find where her husband's ward. Finally he asked the information section. Arya is still in the ER. Many times he called Mama Amel. But not once did his call get picked up.

Arriving at the ER, Indri immediately searched for the whereabouts of her husband and in-laws until she finally found Mama Amel who was sitting waiting for Arya who was still sleeping on top of the hospital gurney. However, he saw that the mother was not alone. There were foreign women there too. They are talking. Even so serious that they did not realize the arrival of Indri.

"Ma." call Indri.

"Have you come? Where the hell have you been? Husband in the hospital instead of coming spit, even the crawl is not clear! You filthy wife!" maki Mama Amel's.

The middle-aged woman really could not see where their situation and condition were now. All he did from earlier was curse and rebuke the daughter-in-law whom he considered to be the unlucky carrier.

"Oh, bring the money! Good job!" said Mama Amel lightly.

"Who is Ma then?" ask Indri again while pointing at the foreign woman who is next to Mama Amel.

"Oh, it's Hana. She's the one who took your husband to the hospital!"

Indri nodded at Hana then shook her hand, thanking her. Hana punteen nodded with a smile.

"So how is Mas Arya Ma??" ask Indri.

" Arya actually can go home because there are no internal injuries, but because Mama has no money already waiting for you to come. This is all because Arya brought your money. We were robbed. Fortunately, Arya survived. But look at that face so bonyok!"

"Sorry Ma, earlier Indri explained to Mama that Indri had to find the money first. It's Indri hard here and bring the money too."

"Where's the money?" ask Mama Amel. "Yolong huh?" coined.

Indri closed his eyes and took a deep breath when he heard his in-laws question. "Enggak Ma, Indri just sold Indri necklace. Birthday gift from Mama and Papa Indri."

"Good! That will be your duty and duty as Aryan's wife. It's there! You pay for it! Mama is tired of waiting for you who did not come from earlier."

Indri finally stepped away to the administration to pay the bills of Arya hospital.

...*****...

"Nis, are you coming to the family's show later this afternoon?" ask Mama.

They are currently gathering for lunch together. It just so happens that today they fit in at home all because of Sunday.

Nissa nodded slowly. "Actually Nissa Nissa is lazy you know Ma came to the event. Nissa felt the show was just a cover. Originally, the show was just a show for them. Not as an event to strengthen but as a family" answered Nissa.

Nissa often gets the question 'when is marriage?' then continue to the event ninyir, 'time of the company owner is not selling-in'.

Her mother understood what her beloved daughter was feeling.

"You're patient Niss, you don't have to think and listen to what they say. If you can get married once in a lifetime, find a truly good and responsible man. Because loyal san mapan alone is not enough. But if you have strong money responsibilities, Mama and Papa are sure that the man will always treat you well until you age together."

Nissa took a breath. What Mom said has a point. Nor did he ask for food for the people who were julid.
