The Rantings of Arisan's Mothers
After work. Hara did not go straight to her apartment because her mother and mother-in-law invited her to gather together at the mother-in-law's house. Just hearing it had made Arin lose his mood and wanted to reject it, but if he refused what they said they would definitely consider himself a child who had no manners.
The taxi car stops right in front of the gate of Haru's parents' house which currently doesn't even know he's coming. Arin accidentally doesn't tell Haru not to interrupt her busy job. Take one long breath and exhale it slowly, Arin tries to smile kindly — walks into a very big house.
“Assalamualaikum ..” greet Arin while walking in the direction of the living room which then he was immediately greeted by his mother-in-law.
“Eh ... You have arrived.Your mother has been waiting for it!” she said very gently as she pointed at the mother who was sitting on the sofa together with some mothers who seemed to be their mother-in-law friends.
Arin was surprised to see so many eyes staring at her that she started to feel nervous and uncomfortable. The two old ladies had lied to him. Really sucks. He was forced to be drawn into a crowd of mothers who seemed to have many questions for him.
“How ... my daughter-in-law is beautiful is not ...!!” the words of the mother-in-law who was immediately in reply to greetings by her other friends so excitedly made Arin confused how she should react.
“We sit first,” he said while inviting Arin to sit in the middle between mothers.
They keep asking questions of him. Until Arin begins to run out of words to answer their questions that there is no stopping talking makes noble Arin lose his energy.
“Arin is a graduate of what yes?” asked one of the mothers who wore very luxurious clothes, even both hands looked a lot of bracelets, whether it was real or not.
“Guarantee S1 Office Accutance,” replied Arin.
“Continue now a career woman?” ask me again.
“Make what a career woman, ‘kan her husband already have a big company. Of course Haru treats you like a princess yes. Try my son in the same match Haru ..” said the mother who sat in front of him.
“Oh yes, true too. Now what is your busy life?” ask one of the women sitting right next to her mother who just kept quiet while watching Arin.
“I ... part-time work.” replied Arin who suddenly made everyone there silent for a few seconds while glancing at each other confused. An unexpected answer.
“Ah .. maybe Arin just wants to fill free time, because before he married Haru, she was a career woman and now definitely only gives the best for her husband, yes ‘kan, Arin …?” said the mother-in-law who seemed to be trying for her friends did not misunderstand her precious child.
“Ah .. wah, you are truly a woman who also thinks of men's feelings. Very lucky Haru ...,” praise them.
“Package .. Haru choose you,” said the woman who had wanted to match her son to Haru.
Arin could only hear the conversation they had.
“Continue the plan you want to have children when? It's been almost 3 months ‘kan, you guys married?”.
“Eh .. yes correct. My son was two months married and instantly pregnant ..”
“Wah .. fast once.”
Arin could only be silent. How he could have answered that question so easily at the time of his marriage to Haru was a lie. He may lie, but why is his mouth so hard to speak.
“We ... have not had a honeymoon because .. mas Haru is still busy with his work,” said Arin.
“Wow!! It's been three months, still not honeymoon .. a pity.”
“Today Haru is having a big project, it will be their secret ..” said the mother-in-law.
“What are you planning to have?”.
“Two aja...it is the most fitting,”
“But .. if more children today already have one child,”
“Ah .. so yes ...,”
“Where is Arin, you like to have how many children?” ask Arin.
“Oh ... emm ..” Arin has trouble answering.
“Eh .. already, do not ask her, look at her shy.” bela mother-in-law.
“Arin it ... from small it is very shy,” said his mother.
“Oh .. so apparently. I'm sorry yes .. Arin, we are curious about newlyweds ..”.
They all laughed at the remark, At a time when Arin was experiencing a high pressure. He really wanted to escape from this place. His ears could no longer accept the words of the old women who were only curious about the lives of others.
Arin was silent with a blank look after the mothers had left the house. A table full of leftovers and dirty dishes. The chirping that was still ringing in his ears. They managed to knock him out mentally. Soon her mother returned with her mother-in-law. But only the mother approached Arin, while the mother-in-law went somewhere.
“Mama why, here?!” said ketus Arin after making sure the mother-in-law was not seen again.
“Indeed why? The people you invited me to come. Also, you can not be, be polite .. base a little on them, not polite!” he said nagging Arin who was aware of his son's indifference earlier.
“Emang I'm a mother, pretentious to stale just because of prestige. I'm not ashamed of Haru's mother! …?! Self-conscious mom, we have nothing. Not just because I married Haru's mom so act like the host ..!!” said Arin who ignited emotions saw the attitude of his mother who never wanted to be aware.
“What you said ...!!” snapped which then immediately remembered if he was currently at home besan and had to maintain the attitude. “Be careful if you speak ..” whispered with a cruel look. “Keep also what do you mean working part time, did Haru not give you a living? He's ‘kan have a lot of money, don't be shy family deh! The wife period of the CEO of part-time work, which is really you!!” said mother makes Arin trouble talking so much did not expect her mother would act so far.
“Oh .. so you're ashamed of me, or you don't want your good name smeared?!” said Arin.
“ARIN ..!!” he snaps because he is already very angry. “You are the only hope of the family, can you not give up. What a hard thing it is to be a devoted wife, serving a husband. You also have to be more aggressive dong, if you have children, besan must really like it.” he said.
