Love Can, But Don't Be Stupid...
Home From the Hospital

"Mama doesn't want to hear Papa talk like that anymore! Promise me we'll age together. Watching our children and grandchildren live happily. Promise, Pa!" mama Sofie said as she continued to sob in her husband's arms.

Hearing the sentence that Mama Sofie said, made Papa Nando unable to say anything. Especially when he heard his wife say that sentence stammering with tears. Both corners of her eyes were returning tears.

Papa Nando's outstretched hand rubbed a trace of tears on the cheeks of women who had been faithful to accompany his life.

Getting the treatment of her husband like that made Mama Sofie cry even more, her tears were flowing more.

"Already, Ma. Don't cry anymore. Papa is okay. Pray for a healthy, long life."

"Aamiin, Mama always prayed for it, Pa!"

Papa Nando nodded with a faint smile.

...*****...

"Have you paid the bill, In?" mama Amel asked as soon as Indri returned to the room.

"Already Ma" replied Indri.

"Yeah, Ar! We're home! The doctor had ordered that the administrative affairs are in order you can go straight home. Can you walk or use a wheelchair?" ask Mama Amel.

"Can Ma," Arya replied softly because she could not open her mouth too wide due to the wound she got.

"Attent, Ma. Let the online taxi come first. Let's not wait too long ahead."

"Why not take the taxi from earlier? Pinter why? Have a brain to use not only for filling the head shell. Holy jeez!!! What sins have you committed that Mama has a daughter-in-law like you! It's only been a day, but it feels like your blood pressure is already very high. Later if it's been a month, maybe Mama stroke and die!"

Indri's chest felt tight when he heard the insulting sentence from Mama Amel. Mama Amel is truly a human being who has no heart. So fluently the insults and insults slid from his mouth. Especially when there were strangers there. He did not think at all about how Indri felt. Until finally Indri bowed his head in shame with the attitude of Mama Amel.

Still recorded clearly in Indri's memory the compliments made by Arya and Mama Amel took turns shortly before they were married. But this time what happened was completely different.

Indri regained consciousness from his daydream as his phone rang. Indri stared at the screen of the phone that displayed an anonymous number. Without hesitation, Indri received the call which turned out to be from the online taxi driver he ordered to inform him that he had arrived and was waiting in front.

"Taxi's already dathan, Ma!"

"Hm," replied Mama Amel briefly indifferent to Indri. Then he threw a sweet smile at the figure of a girl who had given help to bring Arya to the hospital.

"Again, aunt said thank you because you were willing to help bring Arya to the hospital. Somehow this handsome aunt's son would have been if there wasn't you!" said Mama Amel. His manner of speaking was smooth and gentle, similar to how he used to talk to Indri before his parents took everything he had.

"Yes aunty, alike. Then I say goodbye first. There's a job I have to finish soon." said Hana.

"May all his business be carried out, thank you for your help."

"Aamiin," said Hana then nodded at Indri and Arya as a form of respect and began to walk away.

Flanked by Mama Amel and Indri on the right and left sides, Arya walks out of the hospital heading to an online taxi that is already waiting. It took a dozen minutes for them to get to the car that was ordered because of Arya's condition that can not walk fast.

Once they had arrived and boarded, the four-wheeled vehicle immediately slid through the crowded highway with three passengers.

Tens of minutes passed, the car began to slow down slightly when the address was in front of the eyes. Until a few minutes later the vehicle had started to enter the yard of Mama Amel's house.

"This is sir, the cost." said Indri while handing over one hundred thousand pieces of money. And the driver swiftly gave back the cost of online taxis.

"Just go inside the house, Ma! Arya wants a break!"

Mama Amel who heard her son's request immediately nodded and docked Arya until she reached her room. After the man sat on the side of the bed, it was seen that he laid his body slowly. Because just a little bump it feels like being hit with a large wooden beam.

"In, make food for Arya now. He has to take his medicine. And before that he had to eat first!" mama Amel's.

"Yes, Ma!" reply Indri. He immediately put his bag on the nightstand and immediately went to the kitchen.

Mama Amel looked her head out making sure that her daughter-in-law was really gone.

"Ar, Mama's curious. How much money does Indri get?" ask her to Arya. "Certainly many! He sold necklaces given by his parents. Definitely expensive!" he said in a whisper because he was afraid that the son-in-law would hear what he was talking about.

"Mom see for yourself. The bag is there! Arya again this pain, do not be invited to think first!" arya replied while pointing at the bag that Indri had been wearing.

Mama Amel smiles when she hears Arya. His hand slowly began to stretch out to touch Indri's bag. But just the tip of his finger stuck, there was a sound of footsteps approaching. Mama Amel quickly pulled her hand while grieving. Finally Indri entered while carrying a plate of rice complete with side dishes.

Mama Amel's eyes widened when he saw the contents of the plate carried by Indri.

"Jeez Indri!!" screeched Mama Amel while shaking the head of IndriIndri made the woman's head staggered.

"You're a moron or what the hell, In? Can you see what Arya's condition is?" peekkik Mama Amel while pushing Indri's head up to about ten inches from Arya's face.

"Did you see that wound on Arya's lips? How could he eat rice with such a vegetable! It's so stupid to be a person!" mama Amel's hardik is endless.

Indri wanted to cry, but he held it strong. He was never treated that way by his parents. Never mind cursing, even loud tones he never heard from his parents.

"Make Arya porridge! Holy hooch! Rich kid, scholar, but stupid is amazing!" Mama Amel again cursed Indri while shaking her waist.

"Mama can help teach Indri to cook porridge, right? Indri has never done anything about it." said Indri hesitated and disinclined at his in-laws who were ngereog.

"Heh, stupid woman! You can find everything on your phone!" mama Amel answered while glaring to make Indri more afraid.

Indri nodded then rushed to pick up the bag that was on the nightstand then brought it to the kitchen. Not to forget he also brought a plate that contained food for Arya.

Her tears dripped after she held him in front of Mama Amel and Arya. Indri cried, he sat on the kitchen floor hugging his knees. Indri really felt a deep pain.

After he was satisfied to pour out the pain in his heart, Indri then rose. He let out a long breath and then let out slowly. Indri immediately took his cellphone from the bag. Then he opened one of the applications to look for a porridge making tutorial.

After finding the video that he felt fit, he immediately executed.

Tens of minutes passed, until finally a bowl of porridge was now in his hands. Indri immediately took her to the room, where her husband was resting. When he reached the room, Indri breathed a little relieved because he did not see the existence of the mother-in-law.

"Eat first, Mas," said Indri. Then he put down the bowl of porridge that he brought over the nightstand. Then she helps Arya sit down and puts some pillows on the back of Arya's back so she can lean back. After that Indri took a bowl of porridge that still issued a puff of smoke.

"Dine the Cuisine!" Indri held out a spoon that was half filled with porridge. The man opened his mouth. But, suddenly....

Chees

Arya spouted the first bribe to hit Indri's face. The woman looked surprised.

"Why Mas?" asked Indri nervously while cleaning his face that was hit by a spray of Arya porridge.
