Not the Dream Son-in-law
durhaka's son-in-law

It's been a month since I went to the mother's house, according to Airin's wishes, now he's the one who takes care of all the necessities in the house. I'm sure Airin can do it, and mom's back to being nice to him. Because my mother used to love him so much.

While Resti joined Ferdi moved to the city, so that Ferdi did not go back and forth from the village to the city to work. In addition, Resti also wants to help her husband. Ferdi was working in a bank and happened to have a side business, an HP counter. So, later the HP counter is Resti who will take care of it.

And I, here I am now, my days are busy in this vegetable garden. Working as I could here, early in the morning my youngest and I were ushered by bang Rozi here and he went bugging, while my three other children went to school. Only in the afternoon will bang Rozi come back here with my three children and her husband brother Minah as well. Sometimes Minah comes too. Now this garden is always crowded every day, so happy it feels.

"Sir Yati! Brother Yati!"

I who was plucking the weeds on the sidelines of the kale plants was standing. It seems like Resti's voice is calling me.

"Res! Brother here," I shouted as I walked towards the hut.

It turns out that Resti is coming, but not alone there is also a mother with him. Mother and Resti smiled at me, at their side there was Ilham who was busy eating snacks. Maybe the snack was in the love of mother and Resti.

"When do the townspeople come home?"

"Ah... Brother could have, yesterday afternoon I arrived, miss me the same you guys," said my sister-in-law.

"Sick guy?" my many. Because my mom's face looks pale.

Mom shook her head, "Mom's not in good health, really."

"Really, Mak?" ask me again while holding my mother-in-law's hand.

"Yes, Brother. From yesterday I asked the answer so," Limpal Resti also said.

"No, my mom's just dizzy looking at Airin's behavior."

"Eat, Brother. Just brother who nemanin mom."

"But, Res. Airin doesn't like me going there."

"Care what he is," said Resti cynically, "Did you have to see my mother always dizzy like this, later my mother was sick again."

"Yes, Ti. Mom is tired every day to make a raucous reminder Airin what she should do, instead of getting sorted even more messy," the story goes. My in-laws look desperate.

"I don't mind, Mom. I'm happy every day with my mom."

"That air really likes to break what you say" she grumbled.

"Yes, Mom. I'll tell bang Rozi first."

"That's dong, brother. Bang Rozi would have agreed," Resti said with a sweet smile. Likewise with my mother, the look on her face looks happy after hearing my words.

"Oh yes, sister," said Resti again as he pulled something out of his bag, "This is for Brother."

"What is this, Res?" my many.

I also received a blessing wrapped in a pink crackle bag that read RESTI CELL. Maybe it's the name of Resti's counter.

"Open dong, brother," said Resti anyway.

I nodded and began to open the gift of the woman who had the sweet smile.

"Yes hape, that's for Brother. Let's have a video call if we miss."

"But Res, this must be expensive," I said as I put the phone in front of Resti, "I don't know how to use it."

"This is what I teach you." Resti pulled my hand, "Come, brother. Later surely Brother can by itself," he continued again as if to convince me not to refuse the gift.

"Yes, Ti. Just accept it, don't disappoint your sister, "Your brotherhood is more expensive than anything else" my in-laws added gently.

"That bet, brother. Later this phone can also be for Rani loh, Sis."

Resti handed the phone back to my hand. It is also true that Resti said, especially lately Rani asked to buy a cellphone, he said to do schoolwork. Pity also my son, often hitchhiking from his friend.

"Yes already, Brother. We say goodbye first, after this I want to stop by the mamer house. After that I went straight to the city," said Resti anyway, after before he and my mother packed with vegetables that I just picked.

"Sir, we go to the mother's house now," said bang Rozi panting his hand still holding his favorite old-fashioned cellphone. Some of the people who were helping us harvest were surprised to see my husband like the madman.

"What's up, Bang?"

"Emak fainted, Dek," he said again with an anxious look.

"When you fainted, Bang?" I asked with an uncertain feeling.

"Go You and Rozi alone, Ti. Your children will let Brother take you home," said Brother Minah, as if to understand my eternal.

"Here let your brother and sister take care of it" he continued.

Bang Rozi and I went to my mother's house. There were also some neighbors there.

"Based on the son-in-law of the ungodly," whispered the mothers on the porch of my in-laws' house.

"It's good to be able to be in-laws as good as this mother," said the others.

"Excuse me ladies" my husband politely said. And amazingly again the mothers were as if compact silent after seeing me and bang Rozi standing behind them.

Bang Rozi and I went inside. The worry was clearly on my husband's handsome face, who wasn't worried about getting word that his mother had fainted. No exception with me, my heart is restless, especially after hearing the shoes of mothers on the porch of the house earlier. Who is this godly son-in-law? What me? Is it possible that mother is exhausted here while I have not come to this house to accompany and help her.

I really feel guilty, actually I told bang Rozi and bang Rozi was allowed. But wait after we harvest first. Not long after, a week after Resti and mother came to the garden, we also harvest, and the plan the day after I had started to mother's house as usual.

"Ti, do your mother's clothes. We're taking my mom to the hospital now" said the father with a troubled face.

We had just reached the living room and passed the father when we were about to enter the mother's room. Indeed, in the living room earlier, there were several neighbors who were talking and one of them suggested that the mother be taken to the hospital right now.

I nodded obediently, going into the room to prepare my mother's clothes according to my father's orders. My husband immediately hugged his mother, there was also Rido who was still crying. While Airin bowed lethargic on the chair, in front of the dresser mother.

"Rozi, Rido! What are you waiting for, prepare the car right now," the father ordered firmly. Bang Rozi stood up and nodded as he wiped his tears. Not to forget Rido, he also stood up even though he looked weak.

"Remember You Airin! What if something happened to my mother. I divorced you then and there!" rido shouted while pointing his index finger at Airin.
