Not a Curse
48. Surprising news

When the day was near midnight, then the two men woke up from deep sleep. Viola who moved first, felt pain in the core. But he still forced to wake up because they had missed their magrib prayer.

"Where are you going??" Erland's raucous voice stopped Viola.

"You take a shower, there's still time to pray isya" Viola tried to stand up but grimaced with the pain at the bottom.

"What's that big cuddle??" Erland was already standing with her innocent body. Viola threw away his face as it came face to face with something that had hit him. His cheeks heat up as if they are burning.

"Not to be ashamed, you are your husband" Erland immediately raised Viola without permission from his person.

"I can walk alone!!" The rebellious viola wants to be put down.

"Although in such pain??" Late, in the end Erland had sat Viola on the closet.

"You take a shower first, after that we pray together yes" Erland had rubbed Viola's cheek gently before leaving Viola in the bathroom.

In the morning Gendis reached the house of Erland. The goal is to go there of course want to meet his two daughters-in-law. Especially with Viola. She wanted to prove that her health was gradually improving as she kept thinking about Viola who would give her a grandchild.

"Mom, why didn't you come and say something??" Sarah had already welcomed Gendis.

"Mom just wanted to see you for a second"

Sarah leads Gendis inside.

"Mother??" Viola was so happy to see Gendis now looking healthier and her face was pale again.

"Viola, Mother's daughter-in-law" Gendis greeted Viola with her embrace.

All that did not escape the eyes of Sarah who looked at the two of them with envy. The way Gendis met Sarah and Viola was different. Of course anyone will know, who is Gendis' favorite daughter-in-law.

"Who's mom come here??" Ask Sarah. Gendis sat in the flats of her two sons-in-law.

"Sama Endah, but she's still ahead"

"Now you look fresher, are you better now?? Is anyone still sick??" It's Viola's turn.

Gendis immediately clasped Viola's hand. Staring at his daughter-in-law with a sparkle.

"Mother is so healthy because you're Viola. Because you have promised to give Mother a grandchild, so the spirit of Mother to heal is very large. Evidently now, I'm fresher, no pale face and dry lips anymore"

Sarah felt more isolated there. His existence as one of his daughters-in-law was as if ignored. Moreover, the bright smile of her mother-in-law who wanted a granddaughter from Viola, made Sarah even more spiteful.

"Viola is not pregnant yet, ma'am, it's still a long time possible" Sarah said.

"Don't you Sarah, it's only natural that Viola isn't pregnant because it's only been a month with her husband. While you?? How is there progress now??"

Sarah's words were like a boomerang to Sarah. The sentence that was supposed to attack Viola now turned around to cut it out.

"Not yet Ma'am" Sarah said with her face bent.

"Well, how else but to accept the fact that you can't get pregnant yet. The proof, all your checking results are equally good. Maybe God still doesn't believe in leaving him with you, so trust me. I'm tired of wishing for you"

The sound of Gendis is common there, and does not seem cynical or cold to Sarah. But in every word it is like a spear that continues to penetrate Sarah's heart.

"It's so exciting Mom is the same daughter-in-law" Erland came out of Viola's room in her home shirt. Because it is a holiday, so Erland just out of the room after the sun began to be rather high.

"Erland, I miss you"

"Sorry Mom, Erland can't look at me anymore" Erland kissed her mother's hand.

"No papa, I know you're busy" Gendis looked at Erland's bright face this morning.

"Not busy Mom, here me and Mas Erland just got home from our second honeymoon, Mom. Who knows after this we are soon given a baby" Sarah said without thinking.

"You're going on your honeymoon again??" Sarah nodded.

Viola who was looking at Sarah unhappily told Gendis about their vacation yesterday.

"Yes Ma'am, Sarah also bought Mom and Endah souvenirs" you know"

Gendis had not touched Sarah, her gaze was now on Erland.

"You went on vacation when Viola had just returned a few days Er??" Gendis seemed so distrustful of her eldest son that he was so heartless to leave Viol for the sake of having fun with Sarah.

"Mother, Erland can explain" But Gendis had already stood up from her seat.

"Then I wait for the happy news from you, especially you Sarah. I hope next month you've brought your future granddaughter in your womb like you hoped" Sarah swallowed her saliva with great difficulty.

"I-yes ma'am, just pray for it"

"Viola, mommy comes home first. Take care of your health as well, do not get tired. Forgive this matchless mother's son" Gendis glanced at Erland sharply, then chose to leave even though there had not been half an hour of Gendis in her son's house.

Gendis is accompanied by Vio and Erland and Sarah behind them.

"Get up!!"

"Is there a brother??" Viola was surprised her brother had already appeared in front of her house without telling her first.

"Abang wants to bring food from Mami for you" Vino showed the bag he was carrying, and gave it to Viola.

"Badly, Vio already misses Mami's cooking" Viola could smell the fragrant smell of the cooking in her hand.

"If so, Mom goes first. I'm going to Endah's cake shop"

"Yes ma'am, be careful"

"I'm taking Aunt and Endah?? It just so happened that I also had an appointment with someone, and it was a one-way street with Endah's shop" Vino said.

"No need, we take a taxi" Reject Endah quickly.

"With Ndah. Kasian Mommy too, would be more comfortable if in between Bang Vino" Viola was just like that.

"If you don't take nicotine, I'm very grateful to you, Son Vino"

Endah can't do anything anymore. He was cornered among the people who supported Vino.

"Of course not aunty, please" Vino immediately opened his car door.

"Mom go first"

"Yes ma'am, be careful. Take care of your health" Erland told the one-of-a-kind old man.

"Yes" The short answer without looking into the face of his handsome son.

Finally the three of them left Erland's courtyard. Vino sat in front driving his car, while Endah was in the back with his mother.

There was a clear silence left in the car. With no sound at all, making Gendis a little confused.

Just a moment ago...

"Ndah??"

Endah who wants to follow his mother into his brother's house must be stopped because of someone's call.

"Yes??" Endah looked awkward due to a disagreement when the last time the brands met.

"On that time, Brother apologized"

Endah held onto his sling rope tightly, neutralizing his nervousness.

"Yes Bang, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't be that easy to be offended" Endah lowered her head, unable to see the face of someone she missed so much.

"I have offended you first, so you are upset with Brother" Vino is only about two steps away from Endah. From such a close distance, Endah could smell the fragrant smell of her expensive perfume.

"Here Bang, let's forget about it. I didn't put it too much into my heart either" Endah tried to smile sweetly to convince Vino.

"All right then"

"Want to see Viola or Bang Erland??" I try to switch to the other.

"Viola, there's a seat from Mami" Vino showed the bag he was carrying.

"Oh, let's go in then"

"Wait Ndah!!" Vino stopped Endah again as Endah stepped slightly away.

"Why Bang??"

"I want to get married"

JEDERS.....

Endah seemed to hear the sound of lightning striking above his head.

"It seems like it's time I ventured to ask the woman I was telling you about to be my wife. I don't care if my proposal gets rejected or not, what's important is that she knows I love her so much"

Endah seemed to have lost half his life along with a flash of lightning that struck his heart.

"Congratulations then Bang. I pray for the woman you love, accept your love" Endah as much as possible to hold his voice so as not to tremble.

"If you are..."

"Sorry Bang, I had to see Mom" Endah turned to avoid Erland who would see the fall of Endah's tears.

"Get up!!"

The mother's call made Endah hurriedly wipe away her tears

"Where are you going??" Endah made his voice sound as cheerful as possible when he saw Mother, Brother and his two brothers-in-law.
