The barrel sat in a room where the upper class women gathered. There is a sense of reluctance to cover it where everything in the room is flat not just anyone. Laras just silent do not know what to say. like a statue of a display he just listened to the talk of the mistress.
His clenched hands beat his anxiety. His presence will be invisible. There was a sense of horror in his heart. But what's okay, she just accepted an invitation from her in-laws to mingle with Raya's friends.
It has been one month Laras and Rangga returned to Indonesia. Just like a couple who just came home from their honeymoon, they were asked questions along the way.
Laras was included in every Arisan event owned by Raya. Of course showing off his daughter-in-law to his friends. Not everyone can accept the presence of Baras. Some of them are still scorned because of the social status of Laras.
"So this is Raya's son-in-law that OB?" whispered to Ms. Aida
"Yes, jeng Aida. That's Raya's son-in-law, her former maid. Beautiful huh?" Sahut Bu Rini's.
"Beautiful is not. ordinary.Jihan is still beautiful Alex's son. That Rangga must have been forced to marry the woman. Or maybe it was the woman who brainwashed him.
Know for yourself the Raya easily pity the same people. Well, he's definitely selling tears."
"It could be .. it could be" Ms. Aida replied.
"Well, ma'am the woman he sold himself was willing.as long as it could be a rich man." Answer Miss Rini.
Bu Rini and Bu Aida are still busy gossiping Laras who are considered not as level as them. The cynical look of the two was not highlighted by the owner of the house. If Raya knew her daughter-in-law was made into gossip material, they would have been in depak.
"Bu Raya's daughter-in-law is sweet. Fits the same rangga." praised Bu Atik.
"Thank you, Miss Atik. Let's taste the dishes."
"What a son. Is this Bu Raya's son-in-law who made it?"
"No, Mom, I'm not good at cake. If I cook in the kitchen I can." replied Laras
"The one being asked is not you, race." Sahut Bu Rini's.
"No papa, Miss Rini. What was discussed was about Laras, not about you, Miss Rini." Anjasa Raya's.
"Ma, I'll go back first." said Laras.
"Yes, race." Sahut Raya without paying attention to the steps of her daughter-in-law.
Laras went into his room. Sitting for a moment stretched his muscles. Sitting for long turns painful too. Want to miss the show she did not feel good with her mother-in-law. But he was also lazy because some of the guests did not like him.
"Mother's right, if it turns out to enter the world they are very difficult. We are only accepted as a casing. But in them they are not worth it. Fortunately, my in-laws are not. They're good, Bu.
They welcome me. Not looking at who I am. Even Aunty Raya would accept me when I was the son of papa Donal. But is it true, Mom, that I'm Donald's son? and it's true that mom and she met. So many secrets are kept."
Laras hugs her family's photo. The feeling of longing for all members of his family is increasingly felt. Laras remembers when her sister gave her a gift before she died. Laras also remembers when his father made a bathroom for him, before facing the divine. Baras also did not forget his mother's advice about the world of the rich when telling about the offer Raya. But who would have thought that was the last message from his mother.
The barrel felt its phone vibrate. His hand grabbed the device located on the nightstand next to the bed. A smile rose on his lips.
"Assalamualaikum,mas." said Laras to the newsman.
"Waalaikumsalam, what are you, baby?" ask Rangga.
"At home again there's arisan, mas."
"If you are bored in the room. If anything falls in the left ear out the right ear. Don't listen to it."
Baras giggled at her husband's words.
"Yes, I'm safe if that's it. Nothing is strange, though." Soluble Sahut.
"You're going to play at mom's, right?" reply Rangga.
"You mas, let's make a pilgrimage first. Keep going to Ina's place, I heard the day after they got married."
"You know that Ina's business is agile?" Omel Ranges.
"You don't think so, mas. This is my best friend, mas. So it is my duty to help and accompany him. Especially for her wedding day. I'm quiet."
"Yes, you're ready then. I'm in the car heading home."
Rangga hung up on him. Baras was getting ready to go to his house. He is not unhappy with his in-laws. It was just a visit for his family. Since marriage, she has not visited her mother's house. He also did not want to say the beans forgot the skin.
"Brace." Go into his son's room.
"Yes, ma."
"Where are you going?" Tanya Raya
"Want to nengokin mother's house can not ma? The barrel went the same as Rangga."
"Well, can you talk for a second?"
"can, ma. What's up?"
"Ras, you've been married to Rangga for a month. Mama knows this question is sensitive for you, but you know, if Rangga is not young anymore.
mama just hopes you and Rangga have made a program to get pregnant. Mama wants to carry a grandchild before death calls.
Ras, mama has registered you to one of the best obygyn doctors in Jakarta. You want to take pregnancy therapy. Make anticipation."
"Ma, thank you for that. Laras also wants to give mama a funny grandson for mama, pray Laras yes, ma. so that it can be granted."
"Ras, mama's already signed you up to the obygyn. Tonight you're going to go with your mom to the clinic."
"But, ma. Baras mas promise the same Rangga. Tonight we will spend the night at the mother's house, because the day after tomorrow we want to come to Ina's wedding."
Raya was silent to Laras's reply. He just passed by leaving his daughter-in-law from Rangga's room.
"Ma.." Laras felt his mother offended by his refusal.
"Okay, mama understood this time. But I hope you can take care of your body so you can get pregnant quickly. Mama wants you to get pregnant in two months."
Laras was silent hearing his mother-in-law's ultimatum. His hands continued to tremble.
"Honey," Laras was surprised to see Rangga was already in front of him.
"Mas, just arrived?''
"Yes, are you ready?" The barrel is weakly nodding.
Rangga demanded Laras get in the car. His mind glared at the utterance. She was confused to have to explain Raya's wish to her husband. Afraid Rangga misunderstood, but if buried how can find a solution.
"Nus .."
"Yes, baby."
"I want to talk?"
"Yes, just say it. What do you want to talk about?"
"Anu .. this .. Mama has registered me for fertility check."
"Where's the doctor?" Ask Rangga.
"Just like Doctor Toni." Answer Laras.
"Do you know who Toni is?"
"his friend is Dodo, right?" guess Baras.
"Yes, honey. You're a poultice too."
"Sister Rangga forgot yes. I go with Ina every time I check with Dodo."
"Yes, I remember baby."
