THE THOUSAND-MOUTHED BROTHER-IN-LAW
31. Decisions

After Tyas and Said returned from the house of Bandi and Faidah, they did not say much. Tyas prefers to enter the room to accompany his son who is asleep. Said chose to look at his phone which was already filled with several calls.

"Dad.." Call Tyas from the room.

Said came to his wife and sat on the bed, looking at the back of his wife who was giving breast milk to his son.

"Why Bun?" Said, then lay down his body near his wife.

Tyas was still silent yet to make a sound, while carefully releasing the pagutan his son, so as not to wake up.

"We're just moving out of here, what do you think?" Now Tyas was no longer able to harbour his heartlessness.

Mmmmmm....,

Said took a deep breath and took it out roughly.

"Dad confused Bun, you would know this is mother's land, if we had a lot of money. Mother also more ask us to repair this house than to have to buy land and look again for capital for the house?" Said was in a dilemma with his wife's request, and he also did not want to disappoint his mother.

"All right! I'll make my own money to buy land and a house. So that your mother can't manage, wife's money isn't husband's right?" Tyas who looks disappointed at the decision of her husband was no longer much to ask and again lay in his daughter's arms.

Said ruffled his own hair, confused as to what he should do. Because he knows that his wife is angry and sick if she does not call him Dad.

"Tomorrow mom's phone, to ask permission at your request?" Said stroked his wife's hair from behind and kissed her.

Tyas who heard that, did not expect much. But what her husband said was one form of effort to keep his feelings. Then she turned back to embrace her husband, and drowned her face in the field of her husband's property.

***

Once in the morning, he woke up to disturb his wife who was busy preparing breakfast.

"Mother? You want to eat fried rice cayenne pepper can't you?" Whine said like a child.

Tyas shakes....,

"Dad, do you know yourself, the frequent eating of fried rice is not good for your health? Want to have a recurring malaria?" Tyas refused her husband's request.

"But did you tell me the truth, eating fried rice is not the effect of malaria?" Said did not want to lose to his wife's words.

"That's it, mother is also confused. Sometimes myths can be a fact that it is often mentioned, so that kind of prayer. Your mother will always tell me I can not make you fried rice, so that the malaria does not recur. That's not really good?"

"Cock not good? What reason? I'm worried about your husband." Said asked his wife.

"Soalah Almarhum father used to teach mother? He said, do not like to talk about myths whose effects will be facts, it is not good. Never heard of it, about the saying. If your words are prayer."

Said just nodded at his wife's question.

"Well that's yeah? Malaria is caused by a parasite, which is transmitted through mosquito bites. Which later the parasite will settle in the liver continues to be channeled to blood cells. So it's not fried rice." Again Tyas explained.

Haha....,

"Kok laughing!" Upset Tyas saw her husband.

"You're a cute, rich teacher who's obviously the same big baby. Never mind then make it now. Mother doesn't believe it either, right? Then now I don't believe it. Everyday you are a mother, not a mother anymore." Please say to his wife.

Tyas was just a manyun listening to her husband's words, the intention of refusing was stuck. Eventually Tyas cooked fried rice for her and her husband. Spinach and sea fish chili were no longer touched that morning.

Khumay also ate well, with Tyas concoction. Even his weight is able to beat a normal born child, his intelligence is also above average. At the age of not one year khumay already able to talk and understand the words of his parents.

"Bun, you know. For your father this is a gift."

"Thank you dad?" Tyas responded to her husband's words.

"Ask dong? Why can you say that. Mother is not romantic." Rajuk said on the sidelines to eat it.

"Kok dad said that?" His wife's error is back.

"There's no exclamation ah," said tried to tease his wife. Intentions hope Tyas again curious, it was only responded with a smile only.

"Yes already. Mother wants to wash clothes" muttered Tyas.

Tyas tried to get up from his seat and clean up the food marks of her husband and herself. Then again take the washcloth used to clean the face khumay his son.

Suddenly....,

"Aw, what the hell is yah?" Said drew his wife's hand, with a single blow Tyas had already fallen on her husband's lap. But unfortunately they were lurching backwards. Intentions want to be like in the Drakor films but Mala fell.

With a position that only sits on the floor, it does not hurt too much if strayed back. Said had to hold his wife's weight.

Each said pretended to cry khumay also cried, but when Tyas tried to pretend to cry, Khumay actually laughed and hit his mother, like hoping that her mother cried louder.

"Bun, it looks like dek khumay loves dad better than mom." Ledek said to his wife.

"okay! From now on the deck khumay eat it should be the same father, shower the same father, jajan ask the same father. Can't call mom. Mommy wants to find somebody's child, okay." Tyas said with a pretend act in front of Khumay.

And it turns out that Khumay cried like he did not accept if his position was replaced with another child. They felt as though furious as a khumay attitude, the little boy was quick to understand what had been said.

Finished playing said talking to his wife to call his mother.

"Dad if you want to call mom, will you just call Dad? Strange this is the father." Chirp Tyas.

"Yes, but will you talk about last night?" tyas face immediately turned anxious.

She was afraid that her mother-in-law would not allow their wishes. But Tyas hopes everything will be smooth, considering his mother-in-law who always cares about him.

Tutttt.., Tutttt....,

Said connected the phone to his mother's number.

[Hallo, assalamualaikum id?] There was a middle-aged woman across the phone.

[Waalaikum sallam mom.] Answer said and Tyas together.

[Tumben once said phone, usually also just Tyas who phone and give the news. To the extent that I think, this is actually the biological child of the mother, you what Tyas anyway,] Sati's mother replied to her son.

[And mom's son is looking for a piece of diamond? Should you understand dong? Hehe] Said reasoned not to be a target for his mother.

[That's you! must also dare to say if there is a wish,] wati bu's tease back.

Tyas who heard her mother-in-law's words laughed mocking her husband.

[Hehehe.] Said only laughed at his mother's words, as his hands gently shook his wife's head.

[Oh yeah how is your cow, growing well right?] Tanya Bu Wati on the sidelines laughs said.

[Oh yes Alhamdulillah buk? God willing next year, one tail I sacrifice. Make Mother the same for mother Tyas too.] Said gave his mother some good news.

[Alhamdulillah? Oh yeah your brother Bandi how's the id? Husband and wife alike never give news to parents. After all his mother benefits said they often communicate. Is it because this mother-in-law she doesn't want to call mom.] Bu Wati revealed her heartbreak.

[Ihh ibuk? Is it not buk? Maybe it's busy, even if the mother is the mother-in-law, for me feel the real mother Lo buk? Mother can't say that.] It is Tyas who has now spoken to his father-in-law.

[Well, is that you Yas? Who considers mother like your birth mother, your brother's wife Bandi had never thought so.] Bu Wati can not be seduced and given any reason. Although Tyas' intention was to just cover up.

[Busy times buk? Oh yeah Uda's mom ate yet? What's Nana cooking? I was here to bring him to eat sambal terasi kak Nana's,] Cerocos Tyas diverted the question of his mother-in-law.

[Well start.., divert the conversation. What a busy benefit. Clumped?]  With the length of the sentence that Wati's mother threw to Tyas.

Tyas was confused as to what? Because the character of Tyas is not a person who likes to look for the mistakes and ugliness of others.

[Have buk? Don't talk about anyone else. Actually, I also want to be conveyed to my mother. But I hope you agree?] Said again launched the action.

[Have you guessed that you called mom only when she wanted to? Yes, what do you want to say.] Ms. Wati asked her son.

Said then explained all his wishes and his wife, but he did not talk about Bandi's debts, according to his wife's wishes. He only told about the benefits of always looking for faults from Tyas.

[Hemmm] was heard across the phone Bu Wati took a breath.

[Actually the mother bought the land next to each other, so that you can get along and know each other. Mother wants the children of the mother to gather and not break, even though the mother knows the nature of the benefits from a long time ago. But I want someone who can think of adults trying to give up.]

Tyas who heard his disappointed face, but he did not want to say anything.

[ Relented! Lose up! Not every day you also have to give up, I whose sister bang Bandi alone can not face her behavior, especially Tyas who is only limited to brother-in-law with her, with her brother-in-law, if I agree that said and Tyas moved out of it] it sounds like Nana has given her mother some advice.

[Yes if it is far apart does it not look like I get along with it Na?] Bu Wati's voice was arguing with her daughter.

But I don't know what was said later, said and Tyas did not hear their words.

[Mother.., yes, no longer need to think about it, we tried first to survive,] said Tyas calling his mother-in-law.

[Ehmm not necessary. Is that what you want? I just come along] he said back.

Said and Tyas looked at each other at Wati's mother's decision.
