Love Can, But Don't Be Stupid...
Phone from Mom

Rendra exhaled after glancing at the clock in her study. Time has shown at four in the afternoon. He immediately tidied up his papers that were scattered on the table. After he piled neatly he put it in the folder, only after that he stored it in his desk drawer.

"Alhamdulillah, go home" said Rendra.

Ever since he found out his wife was pregnant, the clock home was one of the things he missed the most. Suppose the distance of the office and his rented house is close, he prefers to go home in the afternoon break.

[What are you going to buy, honey?]

Rendra sent a message to his wife.

After a few minutes of not getting a reply, Rendra finally got up and stepped away from his desk. With a hasty step he walked towards the parking lot where he parked the motorbike he used to work.

The man was seen reaching into his pants pocket when he felt the vibration of the phone. There was a reply message from his wife.

[No need, Mom. You came home safe and also a warm smile I was very happy.]

Both corners of Rendra's lips appear to smile when reading a reply message from his wife.

[Oh, yes, yes. Go first, yes.]

[Be careful]

[👌]

The man put his phone back in, and a few seconds later there was a roar of motorbike until finally Rendra's vehicle came out of the motorbike parking area.

Moments later, Rendra arrived at his rented house. He took out a bag of crackles from inside his favorite motorcycle seat.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Rendra when he just entered the house.

Vina, who was currently in the kitchen, immediately came out to welcome her husband.

"What is this, Mom?" vina asked as Rendra gave her one bag of crackles.

"Alpocados are like oranges, honey. Said my coworkers, pregnant women are good if you want to consume avocado. And the oranges, maybe you're looking for a seem-asem seger."

Rendra's treatment made Vina's chest back to rustle violently. His eyes sparkled as he opened the package, and it was true that it contained avocados and oranges.

"Thank you, Mom!"

Rendra nodded and smiled as he rubbed the top of his wife's head. Do not forget to kiss the forehead of the wife, until finally the two went hand in hand.

Just now Rendra was about to take a towel hanging in place, heard the sound of his cellphone which he put on the nightstand. He saw the incoming call coming from the number of the mother.

Rendra walked closer to his phone, without thinking, he rubbed the green icon up until finally the call was connected.

"Hallo, assalamu'alaikum, Ma." said Rendra after attaching the select object to his right ear. It looked as if the man was sitting on the edge of the bed with a towel draped over one of his shoulders.

"Girishalam, Ren. Ren.... In your workplace there are no job openings?" ask Mama Amel.

"For whom?" rendra answered, asking.

"Make your sister, Arya. Poor thing, he just got fired from his company."

Rendra who heard the news did not feel surprised, because he already knew if there would be no company willing to hire employees who had dealt with the law. Moreover, if the company where he works is owned by Indri's cousin. The woman he had treated so cruelly.

Rendra was silent, the man remembered there was a job vacancy or not where he worked.

"It looks like there is, Ma. But the company needs it as soon as possible. If Arya is interested, tomorrow just come to the office while bringing her job application letter." said Rendra when remembered if there is an empty position where she works.

"Ooo... yeah. What part, Ren?" ask Mama Amel.

"Yes, Ren. Let Mama tell Arya."

"Any more, Ma? This is Rendra just getting home from work, still taking a shower."

"No, that's all. Yes, already then. Ooo.yeah you do not forget the monthly money Mama, you are still a child Mama. So you must be filial with Mama until anytime."

"Yes, Ma. I want to take a shower first, only then I transfer to Mama." replied Rendra.

"No need, let Mama come to your contract. You give the address to Mama."

"Let me just transfer. That is if Mama wants to. It's better, Mama don't bother coming to the contract."

"Lhooo... Why is it? Is there anything wrong with Mama coming to her son's house?"

"Nothing's wrong. It's just that Rendra memorized how Mama's temperament. Vina is currently pregnant. And Rendra did not want when Mama came later Mama instead rebuked and berated my wife. It can stress Vina out, and I don't want anything to happen to my son. So if you want me to transfer, if you don't want it, you don't have to."

Mama Amel to gawk when he heard Rendra's words, why try? During this time, Rendra always obeyed what Mama Amel said.

Rendra can indeed be said to be less strict with the Mama. But with the presence of a fetus in his wife's womb, of course, Saka makes Rendra naturally more protective of people he loves.

"Yes, it's up to you."

Tuuut.....

The phone call was turned off unilaterally by Mama Amel. Rendra put away her phone and looked at the flat screen that was back in the dark. The man shook his head and put the phone back in its place.

"It turns out there's still no change, if only Mama wasn't my parents, maybe I wouldn't have dealt with someone like Mama. Forgive me, O Allah, I do not mean disobeying parents. But the nature and attitude of Mama to my wife is very outrageous" said Rendra Lirih before finally he stepped into the bathroom that is located in the kitchen.

"Maaaas, eat yuuuk. All I prepared in the living room, we ate lesehan as usual huh.

They just roll out the carpet as their seat in the living room. There is no table or sofa. Especially chairs and dining tables. Everything is very simple. After all, they are also still contracted, so for the furniture does not need to be too good. Both prefer to save when there is more money to realize their dreams of having a simple dwelling for their small family later.

"What are you cooking, honey? Don't you feel sick when you smell onions?"

"Emmm, nausea anyway. But just calm down, I wear a mask when cooking. So, it's still safe. I was cooking egg balado, sauteing broccoli mushrooms, the same fried shrimp crackers."

"Waaah, it's delicious. Yuk, our hunt is ahead. I'm hungry."

Vina nodded in response to Rendra's words. She walked around hugging her husband from the side.

Luckily, she wasn't as nauseous by the smell of her husband's own sweat as some other pregnant women do.

"So, I'm kind of like Mama's calling, huh, Mas?" ask Vina when they finished eating. Vina who mabok with rice only eat vegetables and side dishes only.

"Yes, Mama called."

"Tumben, is there anything important, huh, Mas? As long as we're here, I've never heard Mama call you."

"Asking for Arya's job, she's just fired again."

"He was fired, Mom. Which company is willing to hire employees who have dealt with the law even if only briefly. Then, he goes into your office, what not to make a mess! He's a rambunctious prick, Mas!"

"Yaaa. I hope not yes, dear."

"What position is empty, Mom?"

#what position do you... which is right for the upil monitor lizard? 🤭🤭🤭🤭
