Sharing Love: TWO RINGS
When Pregnant?

...***...

It does not feel the age of marriage Danu and Ayu have entered one year. This morning as usual, Ayu who was about to shop for vegetables at the vegetable shopper subscription was preparing to leave her house.

Ayu and Danu agree to buy standard housing. Ayu had no intention of living in elite housing like most rich people.

He prefers standard housing because he can still socialize with neighbors. He thought maybe one day when he was in a bad situation, there was a neighbor who helped him.

Danu agreed, other than because the location is not too far from his office. Also because he thinks, if later they have children, the child needs to socialize also with others.

There was a pain in Ayu's chest when Danu called it every child's word, instead of not wanting it but it was impossible for it to happen. Ayu only smiled whenever her husband spoke like that.

After Danu's sudden departure this morning, because there was an important meeting in his office. Ayu walked to the vegetable maker not far from her house.

“Morning, Ma'am Ayu.” saya Bu RT.

“Good morning, Ms. RT. Morning moms all,” reply Ayu smile kindly.

“Mas Danu work, Ma'am? This, right, weekend.”

“Yes, Ms. Henny. Coincidentally there was an important meeting, so hurry earlier.”

“Oh, gitu.”

“Duh, boss time working weekend. Should be, take a walk. Reason for that, Mother. Don't want to go to honey house.”

Ayu sighed.

Start again, deh.

Facing the woman before him does need more patience because his mouth is like chili.

Ayu just kept quiet and smiled. If serving was no use, Ayu knew that Bu Henny was famous for having a lemes mouth in this residential complex neighborhood.

“Hush! Can't just say,” reprimand Bu RT.

“Ih, Ms RT. Kan, just kidding, ” he said without guilt and then chuckled.

“Mbak Ayu, still at home so newlyweds?” asked Bu Ulfa in a satirical tone. His nature is not less far from Miss Henny, because the two are indeed good friends.

“Liar can be 4646 continue yes, no mbak.” Siska. Laughter by other mothers.

“Ah, Mbak Siska can be aja.” Ayu knew where the conversation was going, as this was not the first time it had happened.

“Mbak Ayu, have not thought of having a child? It's been a year, Mom. Time yes, wait for Mas Danu smitten with other women dul—”

“Henny!” Ms. RT cut off Ms. Henny's words that she thought were too outrageous.

Some of the mothers there whispered to each other. Some justify, some say if Miss Henny has indeed gone too far.

“Just pray yes, Mrs Henny.” said Ayu is still friendly, “Mang Udin, this is the money yes.” Ayu offered three hundred thousand sheets to the vegetable maker.

“Thank you, Ma'am. Ayu.” Mang Udin received the money.

“Let's moms, I first ya.” Ayu.

Feeling bad for Ms. Henny's words, Ms. RT rebuked her.

“Yes exhausted, it has been one year still not pregnant as well. Don't-don't be barren times,” Bu Henny is still innocently saying that.

Ayu had indeed said goodbye and left the place, but Ayu could still hear their words that were still quite close.

He tries to stay patient whenever people talk about him and say things that hurt him. Even though they don't know the truth.

Either the feeling of Ayu alone or indeed Bu Wati—ibu in-laws– who was from earlier had a sour face. Every time Ayu asked Bu Wati something, it was always answered by her mother-in-law.

“Mother than that why, anyway? How her face is like that, her tone is also ketus continue.” Dewi, Ayu's sister-in-law asked.

It's not just Ayu who feels that way.

“Nothing, you take care of your son. You know, right, having a kid is hard. Later if your son why, how to try?” said Bu Wati with a satirical tone. “This let Ayu alone bring,” he said again.

“But this is a lot of lohh, Bu.” said Dewi felt objectionable and unpleasant to Ayu.

“Okay, let it go. Not heavy, you do, already have a child must be bothered. Same with Ayu.”

Deg.

Be ill. That's what Ayu felt right now, her mother-in-law blatantly said something hurt her.

“Sana gih, tuh, your son is crying.” Bu Wati holds the hand of the Goddess to take her away from the dining room to the family room that has begun to bustle.

Coincidentally today her house-in-law is visited by relatives, a family event held every month.

“It's okay?” ask her mother-in-law's housekeeper.

“Nothing really, Mbok. Yuk, we continue this.”

Lying if he is okay. Ayu also felt pain and hurt, but Ayu could only endure everything by herself. Ayu busied herself more, put the cakes into the plate.

“Berez, Mbok. We bring it in yuk,”

The two walked to the family room. After serving cakes and other food, Ayu greeted and greeted the husband's uncle and aunt. And, here Ayu is now. Stuck between the sisters of her mother-in-law and also other daughters-in-law.

There is a lot of chatter between them, ranging from the rising prices of basic necessities, school supplies of children, school children whose lessons are getting more and more. There are also things about arisan, and other activities.

Until the sister of her mother-in-law asked about the child to Ayu. Somehow from yesterday as if all did not give pause to the pain felt by Ayu.

“Prieve, we only yes, Bi. Hopefully we will be given momongan.” soon

Danu who suddenly appeared beside Ayu answered a question from her mother's sister, she pulled Ayu, tightening her embrace.

“Di do’ it for sure, but it should also be worked on. Time to pray without effort, check it out. Who's the problem, if our descendants anyway, there is no. Don't know if the others,” said Bu Wati with a ketus tone.

Danu felt the atmosphere around her was not wearing, especially her own mother who made it. He decided to say goodbye to his mother and relatives who came.

Along the way Ayu also just kept quiet without saying anything. Danu knew that his wife was very hurt by what her mother said. Danu clasped Ayu's hand.

Ayu who had just looked out the car window now turned towards her husband, both of them throwing smiles at each other to strengthen each other.
