The Beginning of the Catastrophe
THE BEGINNING OF THE LIPSTICK PATCH OF BAB6

“Kok, dumbfounded? You didn't know Mom?”

Kirana stammered before receiving Rahma's hand and kissing her reverence. Then, a thin smile is put on Kirana before taking Rahma to her study. At first glance, Kirana looked at Rahma's appearance from head to toe. The woman who had given birth to her husband was very different from two months ago when she last met. If usually Rahma always curled her hair and without makeup, now she cut her hair short and wear a little makeup menor. It looks more modern and classy.

Rahma sat on the sofa, then crossed her legs and removed her sunglasses. He spread his gaze and smiled mockingly. Then, he crossed his arms and looked at Kirana who was standing in front of him.

“Enak is also your job, huh? Just sit down, talk to people, keep getting money. What makes you tired of trying when you think about it? But ... Why are you not pregnant for five years? Are you wrong or Aji? If Aji is obviously not possible, it means you are the one with the problem.”

Kirana took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Five years into Rahma's daughter-in-law, Kirana already knows very well how the nature of the in-law. From the beginning until the age of her marriage stepped on the second year, Rahma still sincerely loved him. However, at the age of the third marriage, the attitude of the woman began to change. She kept asking why Kirana wasn't pregnant every time she met.

Rahma begins to change during the fourth year of Kirana and Aji's marriage. The woman began to shut up and her attitude changed with Kirana. Though every once in a while Rahma's questions about a child are still heard greeting. Kirana would only respond with a faint smile.

Rahma snorted softly while nailing her eyes to the son-in-law.

“You didn't let me drink?”

Kirana soon awoke from her daydream. He nodded before heading to the desk and ordering drinks to the pantry. Then, go back to the sofa and sit next to Rahma.

“Mother is really different now, huh? I didn't know earlier.”

Rahma smiled happily at the compliments from the son-in-law. He straightened his hair and the tip of his arm. Then, look back at Kirana.

“Clearly different, dong. Ever since I met someone, I wanted to be beautiful too. Now I want facial care here, let it be fast and smooth. But thanks for the discount, yes?”

Kirana smiled faintly in response to her in-laws speech. Then, when he heard the knocking sound, he immediately got up and opened the door. Kirana welcomes the OB who came while carrying a cup of warm tea.

“Please drink the tea, Mom,” said OB earlier and only responded with a nod of Rahma.

Kirana was about to close the door, but Rahma got up and approached her.

“Mother wants her treatment now because seven o'clock at night there will be the same order.”

Kirana commented a smile and led Rahma towards one of the rooms. Then let the woman lie down on the bed. Kirana then wears a mask and gloves before starting the treatment process on Rahma's face.

Two hours later, Kirana opened her mask and gloves. Meanwhile, Rahma got out of bed and went to the mirror. He smiled with satisfaction after receiving treatment from the son-in-law. Then, he grabbed the bag and passed towards the door.

“Free, yes? Kan, Mom's first time here. Later instead, I recommend this place to temen-temen.”

“Iya, Mum.”

Kirana got up from sitting and eroded the distance. However, just as he was about to kiss the reverence on the back of his in-laws' hands, Rahma shook her hands. The middle-aged woman returned wearing sunglasses and headed for the door. However, he turned his head and stared fixedly at Kirana.

“It should have been separated from you since Aji because he could not give offspring as well. Nyesel I give you my blessing. In fact, only a daughter-in-law who has trouble getting pregnant. Fortunately beautiful and pinter looking for money.”

Kirana just stroked the chest looking at the attitude and speech of the in-laws. He could not figure out how the usually simple woman had suddenly changed drastically. Although the words that the middle-aged woman spoke often hurt her heart, Kirana did not want to retaliate. Rahma is her mother, too.

After washing her hands, Kirana rubbed her queen belly with a smile. “Granny's words don't be horrified, yes, Son. Grandma does like that when she says, ceplas-ceplos.”

Kirana immediately lowered her hand from the stomach and turned her head as soon as she heard the door open. Looking at Amelia who was in the doorway, she smiled.

“Why, Mel?”

“Eat, yuk! It was noon.”

Amelia was surprised and immediately approached Kirana. He pulled her arm and took her to the car. Inevitably Kirana sat on the passenger bench and resigned to where Amelia would take her.

Arriving in front of a restaurant, Amelia stopped her car. Then, take Kirana down and head to one of the tables located in the corner. When Amelia ordered the food, Kirana suddenly felt nauseous. He got up and ran to the toilet to vomit his stomach. Afterwards, he washed his mouth and turned around. However, she flinched for a moment when she saw someone coming out of the bathroom booth. They cried for a moment.

Kirana smiled and was about to pass. However, he was surprised when a little girl suddenly hit him to the point of falling. The woman Kirana met was surprised and immediately approached the little boy and carried him. He looked over and smiled at Kirana.

“Sorry my son, yes, Ma'am? She likes to run.”

Kirana nodded with a smile. Meanwhile, the woman rubbed the child's head full of sweat.

“You're okay, Maura?” ask the woman and hold her.

“Where is Papa, Darling?”

“In front.”

Maura asked to get off the mother's sling. Then, ran forward followed by Kirana and the woman. The little girl turned and immediately hugged the leg of someone very familiar to Kirana while shouting.

“Papaaa!”

Kirana flinched for a moment. His body shook slowly. Then, his hands clenched watching the events in front of him. His eyes condensed along with the tightness that brushed his chest. And as the man's eyes looked at him, he chose to pass towards the table. Kirana grabbed the bag and then pulled Amelia's hand.

“Kirana, why?”

“We're home, Mel. I got dizzy all of a sudden.”

“But ...”

“Buruan, Amelia!”

Amelia stuttered and rushed to snatch the bag before catching up with Kirana who had first run to the car. Afterwards, she drives a car to the clinic, but Kirana asks him to drive her home.

"Lo nothing, Kirana? We're going to the doctor, okay? Your face is so pale.”

“Gue ain't nothing, Mel. I just need a break.”

“Yakin lo?”

“Hem.”

“Then I went back to the clinic. If there's anything, don't forget to tell me.”

Kirana only nodded weakly before getting out of the car. He walked slowly towards the house. However, just as he was about to open the door, his movements came to a halt as Aji held his hand. Kirana turned her head before forcefully opening the door and ran into the room. She was about to close the door, but Aji held her back.

“Mas can clear everything, Dear.”

“What else would you like to clear, huh? Everything is clear. I was deaf when the little boy called you Papa!”

Aji manages to push the door and makes Kirana stagger. He was about to get close, but his wife pushed him. At the blink of an eye, Kirana held onto the head that felt like it was throbbing violently. He staggered back before drooping on the floor.
