Not the Dream Son-in-law
Airin and his mother

"When the hell did they go," grumbled the mother. I pretended not to hear, I kept busy with my job washing dishes that had piled up filled the sink. Maybe the old appliances in this house had breakfast this morning. Yeah, I just got to Mom's house.

"What are you doing today, Yati?" ask mom anyway.

I shook my head, because my mom hasn't told me to shop today.

"Where should you go, Mom?" I asked my mother. Because it was Resti who used to accompany me shopping and also Resti would not let me in the kitchen alone let alone let the dishwasher pile up like this.

"Resti picked up Ferdi this morning, there was an event at his aunt Ferdi's house" replied the mother. Ferdi was the name of Resti's fiancee, their rule was married, but due to the calamity that befell Rido, the sacred event was finally undone.

I nodded, understanding why the dishwasher piled up like this. My sister-in-law, maybe this morning hastily left so that she did not have time to clean these dirty dishes. While Airin there is no way he would wash it, let alone his mother, who is used to living served by helpers.

"Yati, there's a young jackfruit in the tree" she said, pointing to the back of the house, "You'll cook it later."

"Young jackfruit cooking, Mom. In what?" many wonder. Because in this house almost never cook a menu of young jackfruit, because my father-in-law does not like. Especially now that there are guests, Airin and his mother, who usually Airin just come to greet his mother with special, especially now there is also his mother. Strange as it was, there was a special guest that my mother told me to cook potluck.

"As far as you are, if there's a coconut you're drooling. If nothing, you just wear cayenne pepper," replied the mother who made me more astonished.

"Just young jackfruit, Mom. There's nothing else?..."

"That's what you are, Yati," said the sewot's mother, "That's it, my mother's headache. They've been gone a long time, been here a month to eat sleep, have been like a boss," grumbled the mother anyway.

I was wide open to hear the words of my mother, I knew what she meant by Airin and her mother.

"It's been... You just cook it. If you want. eat, if not yes already, whatever," said the mother again as it passed from before me.

"Eh, Brother Yati," said Airin to me, Airin was sitting on the porch with her mother when I was going home this afternoon.

"Well, what's wrong with Rin" I said gently.

"So, I deliberately cooked the young jackfruit gulai just now, look at my mama's stomach relapse, because I had to eat the young jackfruit gulai earlier," said Airin ketus. While mama Airin glared sharply at me and his hands occasionally held his stomach in the heart.

"It's not so, Rin. Ta-so the mother asked me to cook it, just that" I replied slowly.

"Emak?... No way," said Airin, "Mom couldn't have told you to cook the village menu, while I was in this house," continued Airin again with the peda.

"Because Rin, I'm not lying..."

"This must be Brother, I know Brother envies me," said Airin.

I shook my head at the words of the woman he said was educated.

"Your sister-in-law really doesn't know yes, Rin," said Airin's mother, "Iri ya envy, but the way you were so kampungan. Because of your cooking earlier, I was almost doomed. If I'm sick, you'll take responsibility!" mama Airin said loudly to me.

"Allah..ampai say You are babu!..."

"Aante!" resti suddenly appeared from the direction of the door. The three of us looked at it. Resti walked towards us with a sharp look.

"So Auntie said yes, Brother Yati is not babu here. He helped sincerely without pay in this house, you should thank him for Brother Yati who has served you voluntarily," said Resti loudly.

"True you, dear. If babu is suitable to defend his people," whispered his mother to Airin. Although whispering, but still heard, maybe it's all a deliberate factor.

"What Aunt?... Aunty said we are babu?.indeed you two are not aware of him, already given the same rebuke God is still arrogant," cried Resti also, "Aware woi!... You are now hitchhiking," continued Resti loudly.

"Resti! It's good you said we hitchhiked, this is the home of automatic Rido mas also my home. And I have the right to invite anyone here, let alone this is my own mama," said Airin interrupted Resti's speech.

"Also it's called hitchhiking," said Resti casually, "Already hitchhiking, he wants to be in the boss anyway, the base does not know himself," continued Resti again as he raised his head. It was as if he was not talking to the two fashionable women in front of us.

"It's so bad you're Resti!" airin and her mother shouted almost simultaneously. Resti smiled triumphantly.

"What is this, screaming. Not ashamed of what the neighbors heard," said the mother. Finally my in-laws went out of the house and also heard the commotion on the porch of this house.

"It's Res, you'll blame us" I whispered to Resti.

"This, Mak. Resti and brother Yati said we just hitchhiked here," Airin said with his effect on mother.

"Emang.." said mother flatly. At once Airin's white face flushed to hear mother's words. Resti and I looked at each other as if we could not believe what we were hearing.

"This is Rido's mother, because eating gulai nangka Yati was my stomach relapsing. We just say that, but they don't accept it" Airin said softly. It was different when he talked to us.

"Oo.." answered mother casually.

"Yes, Rido's mom. Even Yati said that the mother told him to cook the menu," continued Mama Airin again. When my mother looked at me, I looked down. I thought I must be wrong too.

"Mom, listen first." Resti's words stopped because she raised her hand, hinting that Resti would be quiet. Resti was silent, took a step back and held my hand. Looks like my sister-in-law wants to give reinforcement to me. Maybe our thoughts are the same, this is what I will be dammed by my mother.

"It's impossible, right, Rido's mother who told Yati right?" mama Airin asked with a sweet smile.

"Yes, I told Yati to cook the young jackfruit gulai earlier." Airin and his mother were flabbergasted, they looked at each other and then looked at the mother carefully.

"If you don't accept it, yes you shop alone and cook yourself dong," said the mother again. This time it wasn't just Airin and his mother who were shocked. Resti and I are so, it is hard to believe my mother said that to besan and her favorite daughter-in-law.

"Udah hitchhiking, not knowing himself anyway," grumbled mother while entering the house.

Airin and his mother were glued to the back of the mother who entered the house. While Resti covered his mouth with his hand, it seemed like my sister-in-law was holding back her laughter. I pulled Resti's hand, the sweet girl turned her head. I shook his head so he wouldn't laugh at Airin and his mother. Poor them.
