Traveling to her in-laws house from the wedding of Ina and Alam, Rangga just chose silence. No romantic attitude as usual expressed to his wife. His mind drifted to hear the doctor's words and moved with his mother's attitude. Laras turned her eyes towards her husband. Not like the usual guy was moody. Rangga should be happy because he has run the trust from his father. Become Ina's marriage guardian.
Laras tried to deny her dirty thoughts, she had suspected her husband was still not sincere about Ina's marriage. But he could not help himself with his curiosity.
"Bag.." Sapa Laras's.
"Eh, yes, dear."
"Why are you, mom? from that moment you were glum. You got a problem? Is it because Ina got married earlier that you became mewek. Have they not been married yet?"
"Darling, it's not that."
"Then what, mas? I don't see you happy or behaving as usual. What's up, mas? You can tell me. Husband and wife should be open. Nothing is covered."
"What about Ina again?" A disappointed tone was heard from his wife's voice.
"I'm okay, baby. Last time the office called he said there was a problematic file. I have to go there, but I refuse, because I can't leave you in the hospital." Rangga tried to lie to his wife.
"Mas, don't do it again, yeah. I don't want to be made an excuse. If you want to finish the office business is okay. I have a mother, Oma, sister lani and aunt. Don't be afraid to leave me."
"Yes, honey. Mas, promise it won't be that way again." Rangga smiled as he pinched his wife's cheek.
Rangga could only smile a little. It seems impossible to tell the truth. There will be two figures that he must take care of his mind, his mother and his wife.
In the meantime, he's keeping a secret about the effects of the accident. Because there will be time for him to explain to his wife about his true condition. While the mother, continue to wait for them to quickly be given offspring. Rangga could have invited Laras fertility control. But, he was sure there would be a time when God gave him offspring. All he does now is pray and work for God.
In domestic life, nothing is covered. Marriage is certainly different from the world of courtship that is still thick with their respective privacy domains. When the couple is alive, there should be no more cover-ups. Openness in all aspects is needed for harmony, whether it is financial, family problems or as simple as a mobile password.
For Rangga, he has given love in his household life. Accept the advantages and disadvantages of his partner. Currently, there is a shock in their household, where the demands of her mother to Laras quickly get pregnant.
Maybe the attitude of his mother as an expression of affection for them. Rangga is not hypocritical if he also wants to have children. Besides his age is ripe to get married and have children. Unlike Laras whose age is very young. In the eyes of Rangga, Laras still have a lot to learn to explore domestic life.
It all comes back to openness and how husband and wife communicate. The existence of privacy means there is something hidden, in other words the couple should not know. Even if communicated well on the basis of love and trust, the partition called privacy can be removed. A relationship without secrets and mutual trust, such a happy marriage.
The car they were riding in stood in the courtyard of the Pattimura residence. Rangga took out a wheelchair for his wife. Gladys greeted his son-in-law cheerfully.
"Why, huh?" Ask Gladys when Barrel is in a wheelchair.
"At a motorcycle hit, Oma." explained Rangga while pushing his wife's wheelchair into the house.
"Can't you?" Raya appears in the middle of her in-laws, children and daughter-in-law.
"I'm not careful, ma." Answer Laras.
"Eat him Baras do not be careless, you know now the position of your uterus is prone so it needs to be taken care of."
"Raya! Why do you even discuss the womb. It has nothing to do with it. They just got home but you're talking weird. Your son and your son-in-law need support. Not scribbled like this." An odd Gladys replied seeing the attitude of Raya.
"It's not strange, ma. As their mother, I just reminded them. Every mother who has a daughter-in-law is natural if I remind Laras to take care of her health, especially her fetus. As an in-law I just want to support them to be given a baby quickly. Is that wrong?"
"Wrong, Raya. Because they've only been married for a month. Unless they've been married for years you act like that. My mom never asked me to get pregnant again. But why are you even like this? What's got into you, Raya kalendina?"
The barrel can only remain silent. He doesn't know which one to defend. Even if he defends himself for free. Because it will make things worse.
"Darling," Rangga crouched down in front of his wife.
"Sorry, mom. I've made Mama and Oma fight."
"Hey, it's not your fault. My mom is sensi. Maybe you're PMS, you saw Oma defending us. That's the sign of Oma loving us. So throw away that guilt."
"Sorry, ma'am." Laras tried to wipe his tears slightly to smile.
"You don't have to smile when you can't smile." Rangga Sahut.
"Why?"
"Not beautiful anymore." Rangga pinched Laras' nose.
Rangga moved Laras from the wheelchair to the top of the bed. Laras's legs straightened while stomping on his wife's ankles.
"Already, mas. I'm okay, it's been a bit quiet. But I was curious, mas. Mama why is that?"
"Together, race. I was also surprised to see my mother's attitude. Yeah, maybe like Mama said, that's kind of unfortunately for us."
"Hopefully, mom."
She was at a Chinese restaurant. His eyes spread the view to the entire corner of the room. Where there is another person who has promised to meet him.
"Jeng Raya," A queen-style woman approached him.
Raya welcomes her friend with cupika cupiki. Some time he called the waiter to order a meal.
"Jeng Rini want what message?"
"I'm the same as jeng Raya." Answer Miss Rini.
"Huft, it feels sober after being outside the house." Rini started the conversation.
"Why, jeng?"
"You know that my son is married to the nun he works for. Moreover, the sisters are not one of us, beuuuh. Spoiled! sell the tears!
Slightly rebuked diem cry! Later Nando came to me. Tell him I made his wife cry."
"Emang they still live with you jeng Rini? Doesn't it have to be independent?"
"I'm not going to tell them to be independent. You know Raya, if women have taken our children, it means we've been restricted from watching our children. I've seen Nando mop up his in-laws' house. Our childhood is made like a baby."
Raya only listened to the story of Jeng Rini, her arisan friend. From that story she came to the conclusion that the daughter-in-law would feel powerful behind her husband. Raya believes that the incident made Laras more dear to her family, especially her husband and in-laws.
"I have to find out, is Donal's son's barrel right or not. I'm sure Donal would not be as fond as that to Laras if it turns out that Laras is not his son but the son of Mala and her husband."
Envy began to claw in him. It was as if he had forgotten that he was the one who raised Laras into their family.
