"Bag, peeling!" Salsa tried to release Zidan's hand which grabbed Maria's wrist.
Zidan looked at Salsa with hard-to-art eyes, then removed the wrist of Mary he was holding, he stepped back to sit back on the sofa while reaching for his cellphone on the table.
Maria immediately embraced Salsa who stood in front of her. Salsa was increasingly confused, plus she heard the sobbing sound of Mary embracing her body.
"Ma, why's mom?" Salsa gently rubbed Mary's crying back while hugging her body.
"Hiks, Hiks, forgive mama Nak, hiks, hiks," Maria was getting a mouthful of tears by continuing to hug Salsa's body.
"I-iya ma," Salsa replied stammered as she turned to look at Zidan who was already sitting on the sofa.
After Mary's cry subsided a little Salsa invited her to sit on the sofa. Zidan who had sat there was about to stand up, but his hands were held by Salsa. Although Zidan could easily shake his wife's hand, he did not do it.
"Mama why?" Salsa again asked after sitting on the sofa holding both hands of the in-laws.
"Darling, Mama Apologize!" that was the only word Mary could say. Really, he felt embarrassed to tell the truth.It is impossible for him to tell his stupidity that is too easily influenced by others.
"I-iya ma. but, what's my mom sorry for, what's wrong?" salsa asked innocently. Really he was confused not to understand at all, just earlier his in-laws came with his indifference, now come again, and immediately apologized crying a mouthful.
Salsa then turned to look at Zidan who was sitting next to her. The annoyed face of Zidan who seemed to not care about the presence of Maria. He was busy playing his cell phone.
Did I call my mom and scold her?
thought Salsa who kept looking for the cause of her parents-in-law was crying.
"Mas!" salsa's hand slightly pinched Zidan's waist which was still busy playing the phone.
"What?" Zidan shook his head in shock.
"Mas, Quick! apologize now to mom," she whispered in Zidan's ear.
Zidan glanced at his eyes, as if he had refused his wife's request.
"Hurry up!!" whispered Salsa again, with pushy eyes.
Zidan snorted in annoyance.
"Yes, I'm sorry" were the only two words Zidan said without even looking at Maria.
"Ma, sorry in mas Zidan yeah, if his remarks hurt mom-heart,"
"Heais! why do you blame the mas" snorted Zidan cut his speech.
"Udah shut up!"
Zidan again snorted, he turned his body back to them.
"Don't love, Zidan didn't do anything" Maria said.
"Ckkp. Go already! no need to make drama here! just bother people!" hiss Zidan who keeps playing his cell phone.
"Mas!" Salsa again pinched Zidan's waist.
"Hurt baby," Zidan grimaced as Salsa's hands were quite strong on her waist.
Maria who had been watching them since felt bad, maybe Zidan said there was a point. If his presence only disturbs their relationship.
"Then mama go first yes," said Maria as she grabbed her bag that she put on the table.
"Yes go, and don't ever bother us again," Zidan's voice again sounded cynical, his hand still playing the phone.
"Mas," Salsa scolded and stood looking at her husband.
"Why do you keep defending him" snorted Zidan dislike.
"Ma, wait a minute, yeah," said Salsa gently holding her in-laws back from leaving.
"Mas, here!" Salsa steps towards the bed the patient asks Zidan to follow her. Standing up, Zidan looked at Maria with eyes that made her unable to see.
"What?" asked Zidan lazily who was already standing in front of Salsa.
"But-" Zidan's words came to a halt as his eyes saw Salsa's trembling lips and her teary eyes.
Zidan then grabbed Salsa's body in his arms.
"Hiks, hyks," Salsa's cry broke out in Zidan's arms.
"Have, what do you want? mas will follow," Zidan's voice sounded soft, though not wholehearted.
Salsa tried to take off Zidan's hand that hugged her.
"Are you willing to obey?" salsa lips pursed forward.
"Yes," Zidan replied as he held onto both of Salsa's cheeks, rubbing the corners of her eyes with his thumbs.
"Promise," Salsa raised her little finger.
"Hmm," dungus Zidan with his flat face.
"Promise first," Salsa's little finger was still pointing in front of Zidan.
" Yes" Zidan then linked his little finger to Salsa's little finger.
"Now the mas should really apologize to mom," Salsa's pinta sounded like an order.
"Hmm," Zidan lazily turned his back to walk towards Maria who was still sitting on the sofa.
Zidan extended his hand to Mary.
"If it wasn't my wife asking, I wouldn't have done this" she said in a soft voice.
Maria stood up from her seat and immediately embraced Zidan's body.
"Zi.., hiks, hiks, forgive mama son, forgive mama," Mary's cry broke again.
"Ck. It's been stopped theatrical," turns out the warm embrace of Mary has not been able to melt Zidan's heart hard petrified.
From the corner of the patient's bed, Salsa's smile rose. He imagined that if one day, he could also hug his mother.

Niken immediately hid when he saw Raka's car entering the hospital parking lot.
He hides between the wall posts.His eyes keep watching Raka and Alfredo who are walking in the hospital corridor towards Zidan's hospital room.
Chequek.
"So-go," Raka's speech came to a halt as her eyes caught Maria, Zidan and Salsa hugging each other like telepathics.
Raka again closed the door and pushed her steps out.
"Heis, it's like a play," snorted Zidan who tried to release the hands of two women who embraced his body.
Zidan then went out to meet Raka who was told to come to take care of his return.
Mary knew that Zidan and Salsa were coming home, so excited that she forgot to punish Niken.
"Ma, later at home, teach Salsa to cook well, because mas Zidan really likes mama's cooking,"
"Definitely darling," They hugged again.
****
Now that they were in the parking lot, Zidan was forced to ride into Maria's car because Maria forced Salsa to climb into her car.
Street congestion in the afternoon made the car can only go slowly. Zidan's eyes seemed focused on watching a man dragging the hand of a middle-aged woman.
That's Herman, who's that woman with him? Why is his face not foreign to me.
