My Friend to My Husband
The Compact of Son-in-law and In-Law

The night that should be a warm meeting between two people who long even though only a day apart, in fact does not change the situation. Precisely the hotel room looks so quiet when both of them after cleaning themselves and dinner.

Lying with each other back no matter if one of them is trying to stop the tears that just keep coming out. Zaniah hugged the bolster and buried his face there. While Firhan seemed to close his eyes trying to dissipate his anger.

Without realizing that marriage is only based on circumstances not intended to marry with the real marriage, now slowly began to destroy the harmony of the small family.

The time now moves on until it is eleven o'clock at night, no one sleeps as late as it makes Firhan and Zaniah see the sound of the phone on the nightstand. Firhan immediately got out of bed without looking at his wife.

"Call Mom's house?" his mutter immediately raised the call without the slightest hesitation.

"Mas Firhan, it's Lillia, Mas." From across the street the soft female voice made Firhan understand that the one who called him was not his parents but his second wife.

On the bed Zaniah looked in the back of the husband who had not yet made a sound. She was so curious who contacted her husband in the middle of the night like this.

"What's up, Lillia? Why haven't you slept this late?" Firhan's words really made Zaniah's chest suddenly rumble when he heard the name of his best friend mentioned. Without waiting any longer, Zaniah rushed to snatch the husband's phone and turned off the flat object.

Firhan sighed while massaging his forehead hurt. "What are you doing, Niah?" pekik Firhan.

"I just did what I was supposed to do, Mom. Why do you mind? You still think about what your second wife is doing there? Don't you really love her, Mom?" Again every talk is just an accusation that Firhan got from Zaniah. Patience has its limits. However, considering that it was so late at night it felt like Firhan did not want to spend his energy fighting anymore.

He chose to let out a rough sigh and headed for the television room and slept on the long sofa without wearing a blanket. No matter how Zaniah's tears fall back to see her husband who no longer cares about all his accusations.

"You really like him, Mom? Is that why you didn't argue when I said all that?" zaniah asked half-crying.

Silent, Firhan gave no answer and chose to close his eyes.

The situation that happened here, Lillia Zeni seemed to frown upon finding a call that could not be connected anymore. "What's up, huh? Zaniah until now can not even be contacted. O Allah what if Zaniah did something dangerous? Please protect Zaniah wherever he is" he said in his heart so worried about the condition of his friend.

Lillia even willing to stay up late because she wanted to contact her husband to ask about Zaniah who she did not know where she was. Waiting for all the residents of his house-in-law to fall asleep then he used the house phone. Because he himself forgot to charge the pulse on his phone. Feeling like never contacting someone as if making Lillia Zeni indifferent with her mobile phone.

A few minutes he spent standing thinking about things, until Lillia finally gave up and went back into the room.

***

The next morning, a different atmosphere felt like Lillia Zeni was getting. The window curtain of the room that is opened emits sunlight that has not fully come out. Drowsiness still dominates the two-bodied woman.

"Lia, wake up yuk. Temani Mamah went to the market." Wuri rubbed Lillia's arm until the owner groaned softly.

Vaguely Lillia saw the face of the young ayu no longer. Instantly his eyes were bright when he realized his current state was in the house of the in-laws.

"Mommy?" he was shocked to see the in-laws sitting in front of him. That means he has made a bad grade in front of the in-laws by waking up during the day.

Wuri just smiled looking at him. "What's wrong? You surprised? This is Mamah bringing you pregnant milk. Let's have a drink." Really Lillia Zeni was so deeply moved to be treated like a biological child by her parents-in-law.

Although everything happened because she was pregnant, but all the tenderness and affection Wuri felt real for her not just for the sake of the baby in her stomach. Immediately came the feeling of guilt in Lillia's heart. How painful the family is so good to him this time when he finds out that the child Lillia was born with is the seed of a foreign man with the title brengs*k. Even marriages that intend to give tricks will certainly be very difficult to forgive of course.

"Mah,"

"What's wrong?" asked Wuri gently still smiling.

Lillia who had finished a glass of pregnant milk said slowly. "If Lillia made a mistake, would Mamah be angry with Lia? Is Mamah going to tell Lia to leave?" he was afraid to just want to calm himself.

Wuri took a deep breath for a moment then exhaled violently. His hand grabbed the hand of the son-in-law and grasped it tightly and his eyes were staring into Lillia's eyes.

"Mamah will be very sad if you hurt Mama, but if you only make mistakes that do not hurt, Mamah will only scold you and advise you. Mamah had gotten a daughter-in-law who could shift Firhan's position in Mamah's heart. Honestly, Mom loves you so much, Lia. Somehow Mamah felt you were a child who was not from our flesh and blood but so made us very happy with your presence. Mamah felt she had a daughter who loved Mamah so much." Lillia looked down without a word.

Hearing how soft the words of the in-laws made him feel guilty and did not dare to just look into the eyes of the woman in front of him now.

The state of silence made Wuri realize their time is not much. "Prepare to accompany Mamah to the market. We were with the waiter and bought vegetables. Mama has long wanted to go to the market but does not know with whom. Like there's this Mamah kid we can spend some time together." Lillia Zeni smiled even though her body felt weak after hearing the words of the in-laws were so clear if she did not let them down.

Even for Lillia, the thing she was doing was no longer just the disappointment and pain they were getting. But the taste that really makes them will be angry.

For about forty-five minutes, three maids and two employers were in the morning market crowd showing how fresh all vegetables, meat and fish were. Lillia smiled to see how enthusiastic the in-laws chose meat and vegetables that morning. Precisely the waiter in charge of checking the feasibility of vegetables and meat is only in charge of carrying groceries. Because Wuri himself decided to intervene.

"The big lady is so happy, young lady. You really bring happiness to the great mistress." whispered the servant who was moved when he stood with Lillia who had chuckled since seeing the behavior of the in-laws.

"Well, Bi? Thank goodness I am glad to hear that Mamah is happy." said Lillia.
