SUFFERING AN EMPTY SON-IN-LAW
Welcoming the future daughter-in-law

Before the adzan magrib reverberated, Hilwa and Andre had reached their destination. The home of Andre's parents. After getting out of the car, Hilwa's stingy eyes looked around. A very large and luxurious house is also a fairly spacious yard. He hesitated to enter the house

"Mas, should Hilwa stay where that is. Kok Hilwa feels bad well." said Hilwa before Andre took her inside. I'm just scared, Mas Andre's mom is like Reno's mom. What if he was cynical to me, inner Hilwa.

Yes that's one of the causes of Hilwa feeling inferior, because her mother-in-law who used to always demean her, she became hesitant and considered all mothers of men the same.

"What are you afraid of, Wa. His parents were kind, and soon the Maghrib. Not going to pray if we have to find a place for you to stay again." said Andre. "Come in, or do you want a sling?" Andre Goda. As Hilwa's face stared in the other direction, she wanted to hide the red hue on her cheek. I don't know why when Andre kept teasing her, he felt his heart suddenly pounding so hard.

"Yes, let's go in Mas." Hilwa finally resigned. Andre went first and Hilwa followed him from behind. "Assalamu'alaikum" cried Andre at the door knocking.

Not long the door was open, "mother thinks who, really tumben you Ndre knock on the door first." said Ms. Eva. But it was not long silent when someone was seen from behind Andre's back. "This is Hilwa Bu. Someone you want to meet." said Andre who rolled one eye.

Without thinking long, Miss Eva directly hit Andre's body and approached Hilwa. "Oh so this is my daughter-in-law's future?" said it. Hilwa was surprised to hear the words of her mother Andre. "Ouch" looks Andre patted his eel.

"Let's go in son." take Bu Eva who holds Hilwa's body. Andre followed them from behind. "Dad look at our future daughter-in-law has come." exclaimed Bu Eva to Mr. Indra who was sitting in the middle room. It looks like Mr. Indra was surprised, why is Hilwa here?, he murmured.

"Healthy Om?" ask Hilwa who kissed Indra's hand. "Thank God, how's your room, son?" ask back Indra. "Alhamdulillah Hilwa is also healthy." said Hilwa. It looked as if Bu Eva was frowning, "it seems like you know each other already, it's cheating. Kok mom alone, who has not known the future daughter-in-law of the mother." said Bu Eva scowled.

"Eum sorry Mom, I think you misunderstood. I'll be the clerk at the mom's boutique. Maybe it is not Hilwa who I mean as a future daughter-in-law" Hilwa explained. Eva immediately glanced at her son. Andre was grunting and smiling knots. "Based on this kid, why didn't you explain from earlier anyway. Mother became embarrassed hihi" said Miss Eva wrong behavior. "I'm sorry, son. Andre has never brought any woman home. I thought he was bringing his future wife" he said again.

"No papa Ma'am. And I'm sorry if I bother you uh Auntie" said Hilwa hanging, "mother only. Let's be more familiar, hehe." timpal Bu Eva. Hilwa nodded.

"Oh yes Ma'am, Andre has not had time to find a place to stay for Hilwa. For a while, huh, Hilwa lives here?" ask Andre. "Of course donk. Even the mother is happy, can have fellow women. So in this house, not only the beautiful mother donk, there is Hilwa too." said Bu Eva who rubbed Hilwa's shoulder.

Hilwa just looked down and smiled. It turns out true what Mas Andre said, he was very kind and friendly

"Come Wa. Let Mas carry your bag." take Andre. "Let Hilwa, Mas. Later heavy." push down Hilwa gently. "Not heavy really, just take you who can do it." said Andre. Again Hilwa's face reddened, and Andre smiled knot. Their interaction did not escape the gaze of the two people who were still standing there. Andre forgot that his parents were still there.

Suddenly a smile emerged from the lips of Bu Eva and Mr. Indra.

Hilwa also resignedly let Andre bring his bag. "You saw my mother's attitude, so please understand." Andre sissed right in Hilwa's ear covered in hijab. Hilwa simply nodded, and held back the tremors in her chest that suddenly shook violently.

"Aww, ma'am." ringis Pak Indra who got a pinch on his waist. "This mother why the hell, Andre who brought women, why even the father who was pinched." grumbled Mr. Indra. "Our son uwu too yes. Huh thank goodness I think she's not normal." said Ms. Eva. "Astaghfirullah mother, suudzon same son himself." exclaimed Mr. Indra did not accept. "Well, he hasn't brought a single woman. But I'm finally glad she brought a woman into this house too. Although he said only as an employee, but mother did not believe. It is impossible, if only as an employee, he treated the girl to such an extent." cerocos Bu Eva.

"Yes, my dad is happy too. Because I know Hilwa's a good girl and sholeha." but has she really separated from Reno. What about you, Ded. Parting from your very dear daughter-in-law, Mr. Indra, feels concerned about his best friend and the fate of Hilwa who was separated from her husband at a young age.

"I hope you are comfortable here. Because it is not easy to find a place to live in this city" said Andre. Currently they are already in the room that will be occupied by Hilwa. "Yes Mas. God willing Hilwa will try to adjust, before Hilwa moves to another place." said Hilwa. Trust me, Hilwa, that's just Andre's excuse. For you to stay at his house.

"Yes already Mas also want to clean up and pray magrib first, this time you come out we have dinner together." concluded Andre. "iya Mas."

When Andre came out of Hilwa's room, his parents were no longer in the living room. Maybe they are also performing magrib prayer first. Without thinking, Andre went straight up the stairs to his room on the top floor.

Everyone is already in the dining room, after performing the magrib prayer at once isya. "Why Hilwa hasn't come out yet either huh, I just follow up." Andre who was about to stand up, "let the mother who followed the future daughter-in-law mother. Later you play serobot again." said Miss Eva who preceded Andre.

Mr. Indra shook his head when he saw his son sitting again with a clear face. "Hold it, son. Don't be in too much of a hurry." exclaimed Mr. Indra. "Ndre Eum. Has Hilwa really separated from Reno?" ask Mr. Indra to make sure. "Yes dad. The divorce trial is over. And now Hilwa is completely alone. Did Andre get close to him, right?" ask Andre. "Even so, don't rush. Let Hilwa enjoy her solitude first, there might be a bit of trauma in her. You just help him treat his wounds first. After that you will be easy to enter into his heart." said Mr. Indra advising his son.

"Yes dad. Andre will be patiently waiting. The Hilwa section is already here, so Andre doesn't have to worry." - Andre. "Oh so this is one of your ways to approach her?" ask Mr. Indra. "Yes dad. Andre only fears that Hilwa is in the possession of others again, because not yet anything his cousin Reno, has begun to approach Hilwa. If he's here, it's impossible for anyone else to dare approach him." exclaimed Andre. "Smart is also the son of father. haha" said Mr. Indra patted his son's shoulder.

And finally they were laughing together.
