SUFFERING AN EMPTY SON-IN-LAW
Perceiver

"Where are you going, bring all the leftovers." asked Anita to her mother who was wrapping the leftovers on the table.

"You want me to bring it for Stefani. Kasian, maybe he hasn't eaten. Reno said earlier he could not cook, later the mother's granddaughter who was in the stomach starved." added Bu Tika. "Yes, but why should the rest of the ma'am. Kan Stefani can buy at the food stall." replied Anita reminded.

"That's a waste of his name. The time every time he ate had to buy anyway." timpal Bu Tika disagreed with the words of his daughter. "Yes it's up to the mother.how good according to Mother alone." said Anita resigned.

"Yes, you've tried to help clean this dirty plate. I want to see Stefani first." he said and passed from before Anita.

Not long after Bu Tika arrived at Reno's house.

"Jeez Stefani!" pekik Bu Tika who just came to his son's house. And look at the very messy state of the house. Plastic waste scattered, the floor was dusty, not until there the dirty dishes were piled up in the sink. Bu Tika was immediately pensive to see the condition of his son's unusual house that was neat and clean.

"What the hell is Mom, why the morning has been screaming. My head is still dizzy Ma'am." said Stefani who just came out of her room.

Bu Tika's mouth was open to see Stefani's appearance was still in disarray. He was still wearing his nightgown and his hair looked disheveled. "Maybe if you can't cook yet, you can still take it. But look at the situation around you Stefani, do you not feel uncomfortable seeing it and how can a woman at this hour still look messy. True Anita said you are very different from Hilwa who is diligent and nimble." grumbled Bu Tika.

"Why should Hilwa again. That's Rendy's brother comparing me to that Hilwa. I am yes I am, he is yes he is. We are not at all comparable. Because still she's a woman who has an empty uterus." Stephanie murmured not to accept.

"Ah, I am lazy to argue early in the morning with you. You are a rebellious woman, too. Not like Hil-,"

"Hilwa again mother's intent. Why do you praise him now." Stefani refuted her mother-in-law's words and took it for granted. "Heh Stefani why are you leaving so easily, it's not polite of you. I came here to bring you food." said Ms. Tika.

Hearing the word food Stefani turned back, "Food? here Mom happens to be my stomach is hungry." Stephanie stretched out her hand asking for the food. "This. Hilwa who cooks. It happens that today she cooks a lot of food. So there's a lot of left over."

"What?! remaining Ma?. It's true that leftover food is given to me, Mom." - Timpal Stefani. "Have eaten. The rest is not from the trash either. It's just the rest of the spoon." said Ms. Tika. "You can't cook. Eat not spoiled" he said again.

I don't want Stefani to take that food. Let me just throw it away after mom comes home, Stefani murmured in her heart. "You're ready because soon we'll have Reno's father's family. If you want us to introduce them. Just come to the house." concluded Ms. Tika and passed from before Stefani.

And sure enough after her mother-in-law left, Stefani immediately threw away the food that her mother-in-law had brought deliberately for her. "Udah leftover, Hilwa's cooking again. I don't want to eat it." cried Stefani and went straight out of the house.

He walked to the nearest food stall. Along the way, he met the mothers around him. Their eyes looked at him cynically. I don't know what they're saying, but they see their mouths flailing.

"Tie and side dishes one yes Ma'am, pack." pinta Stefani. "Not cooked neng?" ask the mothers who are ordering food as well. "Hem no Ma'am, I'm lazy again." Stefani replied with a clumsy smile. "When Neng Hilwa is always diligent in cooking. Where the hell is he?" the mother asked, not the question anyway, sounding like a prick. "Oh yes Mom. I heard, the Hilwa neng relented and stayed at Mr. Dedi's house again. For the sake of the actor." hissed the other mother into the ears of her friend, but still can be heard by stefani. Mom's eyes glared in disbelief. "What a pity to Hilwa. Though she was a good girl but her household was destroyed because of the actors." murmured the mothers. There were three mothers waiting there.

"Huh the actor, sok-sokan belaga. Horrified yes, ma'am, the actor today is no longer shameless. Proudly he could easily enter and destroy the female household as well as the neng Hilwa. Nauzubillah, do not let our daughters or our homes be disturbed by the same actors, ma'am." said one mother. The other mothers nodded and shuddered in horror at the thought.

"Always the praised Hilwa. What a good thing he is. Huh the woman's bottom is empty anyway." grumbled Stefani instead mocked Hilwa who does not know anything.

The day has come.

Surely the family of Mr. Dedi has also come. A couple and their 2 children. Just like Mr. Dedi who has one daughter and son, it's just their first son.

Mr. Diki the younger brother of Mr. Dedi who lives far away there, took the time to visit his older brother. "Prepare Mas, in these three days we will be very troublesome for you" he said who was greeting all family members.

"No problem, I'm happy to be bothered by you." he said and made everyone laugh. "Let's sit down" bring Mr. Dedi.

Hilwa and bi Inah approached them with drinks and snacks and put them on the table.

Deg!, the heart of a young man sitting next to Mr. Diki trembled violently. "You're still like Hilwa was. Nothing has changed at all." muttered Mr. Diki's son, Ivan.

Yep. The young man had long admired in silence his cousin's wife. I don't know since a long time ago, he was already interested in the figure of the sweet girl. Maybe, because it has the same taste as Reno. It's possible!.

Hilwa greeted them all and always smiled sweetly. "How are you doing, Hilwa?" ask Mr. Diki. "Alhamdulillah good uncle. Uncle and aunt how are you?" ask Hilwa back, "as you see now, son. Uncle is always handsome and dashing no, hahaha." said Mr. Diki and made everyone shake their heads. "Of course uncle. Uncle always looks handsome and dashing." said Hilwa asserted the words of Mr. Diki.

"I'm also good, brother." said Diki's daughter named Amira. He was just like Hilwa who wore a hijab. Hilwa turned and smiled at the girl. "Let's sit next to me sister." take Amira. "Bad sister can meet you again, sweet girl" said Hilwa who hugged Amira. "I'm also brother. We can talk a lot now, because 3 days we will stay here." said Amira enthusiastically. "Oh yeah. Let's sleep in brother's room. Brother lives here too." take Hilwa. "Lho! it's not like there's Ren-" Amira's words hang because she saw the arrival of another woman she'd never seen before.

All eyes were on Stefani who had just come home. With great confidence he approached everyone. "Oh yes introduce. She's Reno's second wife, Stefani." said Bu Tika, who looked into their eyes as if asking who the woman was.

Of course everyone was surprised to hear it. Since when did Reno marry again. And is this woman pregnant. It's a pity hilwa said everyone in their hearts.

Ivan too. He really did not expect, Reno could wish a girl as good as Hilwa. "Sure she's my wife. I will never waste it." Ivan cried inwardly.
