The Two Hearts
INCITEMENT IN-LAWS
The cloudy air covered the sky that afternoon. Shady atmosphere and gusts of wind, slightly teasing the roman fur on the body. The cold began to feel. Make the body seem restrained, to do activities.
The sky shows signs of rain. The cloud is getting thickened and blackened. Sayup I heard the voice of Adzan Ashar.
"Mas, pray Ashar now." Ida's invitation to Andre's husband.
"Yes, Brother."
After taking the wudlu water, the newlyweds immediately performed the bersama'ah ashar prayer.
"Da, if you have finished praying, go straight down. We eat together." call Retno's mom-in-law Andre.
"Yes, Ma." answered Ida. Then Ida and Andre mas who had finished praying immediately prepared to go to the dining room.
After finishing eating and taking some bags containing clothes, Ida and Andre mas immediately say goodbye to Retno and Mr. Yanto.
"Ma ... Ma, we're leaving first. Pray for the best for us, and pray that Ida will feel at home in Andre's mas house" Ida said as she shook hands with her parents.
"Yes, Honey. Mama and Papa always wish you all the best. Ida is now a wife, so you must be able to position yourself as a wife who shalihah." explained Ms. Retno.
"Honor and obey your husband and in-laws, my dear. Now in charge of the world and the hereafter Ida is Andre, not Papa anymore." added Mr. Yanto.
"Yes, Ma Pa." replied Ida as she hugged her parents in turn.
"Ndre, we nitip Ida, yeah. Take care, love, treat and educate him well. We have secured our daughter to you completely" Mr. Yanto said as he patted Andre on the shoulder.
"Yes, Pa. Insha Allah Andre will always keep Papa's trust well." replied Andre while kissing the back of Mr. Yanto's hand. Then their mobile drove towards the rent of parents Andre mas.

There was the sound of the morning welcoming chicken. The sun slowly infiltrates behind the leaves. Rahma was busy preparing fried rice and omelet for breakfast. While Arya is neat complete with her work clothes. Here another Zea was engrossed in playing after early in the morning bathed his mother.
"Mas, let's have breakfast first." invite Rahma to the suaminy who is accompanying Zea to play.
"Yes, honey." answered Arya and carried Zea to the dinner table.
While everyone was enjoying fried rice and a warm omelet, Arya suddenly offered a few pieces of red money while saying, "Honey, this is money for our needs for one month. From now on, you should save yes. Remember, don't be wasteful."
Rahma who heard the words of her husband then put her tablespoon on the plate. She took some of the money that her husband handed over. Then Rahma counted it. "Lho, Mommy. How's this the monthly money? Kan, usually Mas always gives all of Mas's salary along with salary slips. Is Mas Arya's salary declining? And, where's the pay slip, Mas?"
"I'm sorry, honey. From now on, the monthly all three of us are only one million. Mas's salary is the rest because it is for debt and for the purposes of Mas for one month." replied Arya.
"Mas, who does Mas owe? All this time our feelings of life have been frugal, Mas. And I also didn't know that Mas had debt."
"Yes, whatever you are! I also need to buy gasoline, pulses, cigarettes, buy food, buy drinks and others. Clearly, from now on you have to skimp. I can't afford to meet your needs with Zea."
Jamba, jleb,
Arya's harsh words seemed to hit Rahma's heart. Just touch Rahma's reddened eyes held back the tears that were about to fall. He tried to stay calm and not cry in front of Zea. Because, she did not want to fight with her husband in front of her child. With a faint lip, Rahma then replied, "yes, Mas."
"Yes, I'm leaving first. Assalamu'alaikum." with a stiff, Arya then passed after kissing Zea's forehead without shaking hands or kissing his wife's forehead.
After her husband went to work, Rahma then cleaned the furniture for breakfast. While washing the dishes, Rahma said to her son, "Dear Zea, play first there in front of the TV. Let me wash the dishes and clean the house first. After all, Zea will not play while studying. Wanna?"
"Yeee .. would, Ma." Then with his excitement, Zea ran slowly towards the TV room.
Rahma, who was alone in the kitchen, continued to be disturbed by the change in her husband's attitude.
Suddenly his daydream came to a halt after hearing Zea's voice calling out. "Mama, Ma .., in front of Anti's grandmother. Zea told me to come in but grandma wouldn't."
"Oh, yes, dear. Yes it's okay. Let Mama go ahead to see grandma." After washing her hands filled with soap, Rahma then took her daughter's hand and walked to the terrace to meet her in-laws.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma." said Rahma greeting her in-laws while kissing the back of her in-laws hand.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Where's arya, Ra? How come Mama's waiting at home, she's not coming around until this afternoon?" mama Anti asked with a slightly irritated face.
"Mas Arya has departed from earlier, Ma. Is there anything about Mama telling Mas Arya to Mama's house early in the morning?"
Hearing Rahma's question, Mama Anti became upset. "Absolutely not allowed if Mama told her own child to play at home? You are so possessive of being a wife."
Looking at the expression of the jutek and hearing the cursing speech of her in-laws, Rahma then explained. "Rahma doesn't mean that, Ma. Yes kok tumben Mama told him early in the morning. And on work days, not holidays."
"Ah, that's it! Talk the same you're not connecting. Mama went home and asked Arya directly by phone. Assalamu'alaikum." Then stand up and ride the bike.
"Wa'alaikum salam." said Rahma and went into the house with Zea, after her father-in-law left.
***
Adzan's voice echoed. Marking the afternoon has arrived. Mama Anti who was upset because her phone since this morning has not been picked up Arya, then tried to call Arya back.
Tuout. Tuout.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma." Arya's voice was heard over the phone.
"Wa'alaikum salam. Why call Mama from this morning did you not bring Ar?" ask mom Anti ketus.
"Oh, sorry, Ma. Arya was busy. So, too focused on work because today Arya's work is very much, Ma." explained Arya.
"Oh, yeah Ar. When will it be transferred?"
"Arya has transferred, Ma. Just new. Four million, right, Ma?"
Hearing Arya's words, Anti's mama's countenance turned to sparkle. "Yes, Ar. Thank you yes. Later let Mama take at the ATM sebrang street. Well, so dong. If you have a salary, do not give up entirely to your wife. You have to save your own money. If you have a need, do not bother asking your wife. Why all the salary you give to your wife. Keep him idle at home but take that kind of money. He's unemployed but holds that much money for what? If he uses it for poya-foya, sightseeing, shopping, treatment at an expensive beauty clinic, will not talk to you. One million dollars, if only for basic shopping for the consumption of the three of you, to pay for electricity, pulse, water, milk your child, and diapers your child yes Mama think it is enough. So this way, you can buy whatever you want. And Mama can also feel your salary."
"Yes, Ma. Yeah, well, Arya has to make a report first, Ma. Assalamu'alaikum." Arya's voice ended the conversation with her mother.
"Wa'alaikum salam." replied Mama Anti-smile herself while hanging up the phone.
