Pov Arfan
After getting out of the office parking lot, I drove my car towards my mother's house. down a crowded street crawling, full of cars people who just came home from work.
At 18:30, with full struggle I finally arrived at one of the houses that looked Asri. because there was no empty land that escaped from flower plants and medicinal plants.
"Assynnya!" I said before entering the house. Even though there was no one in the living room, I always said hello, because this is one of the teachings of my parents. then I went inside looking for a mother who might still be in her room.
"Where's Bi?" I asked the same pleasantries ART was ironing in the tv room.
"Obviously, I haven't come out yet!" obviously art. Without stopping his work.
I continued to move my feet towards one of the largest rooms in my mother's house.The room was on the ground floor, so I quickly stood before the door.
"Assynnya!" I said while knocking on the door.
"Waalaikumsalam, comein!" exclaim Mother from the room.
I turned the door handle, then entered the room following my mother's orders.
"What's wrong? how did you tell me to come here?" I asked after sitting in front of him, because I was astonished, unlike usual Mother called to see him.
"Yesterday Mother phone, but your HP is not active!" said the woman who was still sitting on Sajadah, complete with her face.
"Sorry! yesterday my phone went to the battery drain, I was about to call back, but I forgot!" I replied grinningly, while lowering my gaze embarrassed by my behavior.
It happened yesterday afternoon when I found out that Erni was injecting KB. after borrowing the charger, I forgot, to contact the person who called me.
"Kayaaaaan!" Ketus.
"Sorry Arfan, Mom! Arfan completely forgot!"
"Yes.there shower first! later we have dinner together." exclaimed Mother while closing her eyes again, reading the remembrance that he had been accustomed to.
After taking a bath, I was also called by my mother to invite me to congregational prayer.it felt a bit lazy, because I rarely did that. I pray only when playing at Mother's house because if I do not carry out my duties as a Muslim, my mother will nag me until her saliva dries.
After performing the congregational prayer, my mother and I sat face to face in the dining chair.
"Let's eat!" bargain Mom while taking the plate in front of me, to fill it with rice.
"No, Mom! Arfan nemenin mom alone, here. If I eat here later pity Erni, who has been waiting for me at home." I toll gently, afraid to offend.
"How much did Erni do! eating should wear everything! Could've eaten himself." Ketus Mom as usual when I reasoned by calling my wife's name. She continued to fill my plate with rice, which was delayed due to my refusal.
"That's not so Mom, I always instill in my household, if you can not congregate in kindness, at least we can eat together with family." I argue give understanding so that mother does not misunderstand.
"Since when, you don't consider your mother family?" Ask Mom while continuing to fill my plate with side dishes.
"Wrong again, you!" I murmured in my heart, fighting over his opinion, was a waste of time. Because I would never win arguing with him. I just took a slow breath, I just took a slow breath, then take a plate that is filled with rice and side dishes, given by the mother.
Before eating as usual Mother told me to lead the prayer, finish praying then we both eat rice, at that night.
After I finished eating dinner, I invited my mother into her room.Signifying, there is a serious problem that she wants to talk about. I, as a good and obedient child, just follow me, do not dare to argue.
"What the hell is it, Mom? I think it's serious?" I asked while looking at my mother.
"Yesterday I was invited to a seminar to be a speaker! (how does money work, for us!) " Mom began to discuss the subject, it is true that in addition to being an entrepreneur, Mother also often shares knowledge with other entrepreneurs.so that they continue to be active in work, because according to Mother, I also often share knowledge with other entrepreneurs, success is not just for young people.
"What does this have to do with my mother inviting me here?" I ask who still does not understand.
"Eat first! if someone else talks, it is! When you forget about the Teachings of the Father, the most important in life.you should not interrupt the chatter of people, especially if you are not told to give an opinion." Mother's advice reminded. This is how to talk to parents.advice, advice, and advice, because they think parents. No matter how mature we are, they still think of their children as tiny babies, who need affection and attention.
"Sorry, Mom!" I said as I lowered my gaze, enduring the embarrassment.
"But Mother, before speaking, I want to apologize first to you. You are patient and you must be strong!" mother said, making me frown. increasingly do not understand what he will say.I just kept waiting for Mom to continue the conversation.
"Cock, are you quiet?" mother asked while looking strangely at me.
"Yes Mom. Kan, listen again! Later get sprayed again." got an answer like that Mom, just take a deep breath and then exhale slowly.
"After Mom finished filling the event, before continuing with the meal. I wanted to go to the toilet first, but I was surprised when I saw Erni, your wife. was holding hands, with another man. heading to one of the elevators, to go up to the top floor. because of that seminar hall, it was on the second floor from above.
"Mom was about to follow him, but lost quickly.the elevator door was closed, before Mom could hit them. Mother tried as much as possible.so that the mother could quickly go up to the top floor.until I asked the security guard, Where is the emergency stairs.but the security guard instead suggested that the mother wait for the elevator only. maybe they feel sorry to see the condition of an old mother.
After a long wait, I was finally able to go upstairs, but I've lost track of them." Mother described her discovery.
I just turned my face, not looking at my mum who was too far-fetched, Mana maybe Erni went to the hotel, while yesterday she injected KB. in the hospital. But I can't tell you about Erni injecting KB. to mother, could-can 4th world war happen.
"Why are you silent, are you glad your wife is walking with another man?" asking mom is like cornering me.
"Alright, Mom! I know you don't like Erni, but please! never slander my wife, with such vileness." I said as I stared at the nilar person who had taken care of me until before marriage.
"Yes Allah. Arfaaaaaaaaan! you think that talking like that was just a joke? if Mom doesn't love you, and if you're not a mother's child, you won't talk about embarrassing behavior of your wife. I'm afraid someday you'll regret." as long as she shook her head, I don't know if she did that.
"If you want to vilify my wife! mending I don't have to invite Arpan, to come here." My movements while getting up, for fear of being carried away by emotions.
"Sit down! mom's not done talking. You're starting to be disrespectful to me." exclaimed Mother, her eyes had already condensed, Maybe she was feeling sad because Mom didn't manage to influence me.
"What else do you want, Mom?" I asked as I dropped back my body, onto the sofa that was in front of my mother.
"You must believe! With what I said, I'm afraid you'll regret it!"
"I'm sorry why, Mom? it is precisely Arfan deeply regret the attitude of the mother, who is like a child.if Erni really goes into the hotel, please give proof! so that Arfan can believe in mother's words!" my door while looking seriously at Mother's face that already looks wrinkled.
Now it's my mother's turn to be silent, maybe she's thinking again, making up the story again so she can instigate me to part ways, with a wife I love so much. With her behavior like this, I'm sure you want to see me destroyed.
"Why silence, Mom? really, I just hate Erni. Though as long as I know, Erni is always good with mom, she is always polite and treats Mom, like her own real mother." said I affirm the question.
"For now, mother has not been able to prove, but one day you will admit what was conveyed by the mother, it is true" said the mother.
"Don't pray for your son's family, with such a bad thing, and remember when Erni does what you're accused of. The first person I blame is you. because I have the heart to pray for her son's family to be destroyed!" I said as I stood up, then walked towards the door.no more rejection from my mother, she just sat there quietly while shedding tears.
"I'm sorry mom! forgive Arfan who can't make you happy. Arfan just doesn't want if mom gets too far into my household.I'm an adult, I can already determine the direction and purpose of my life." I muttered as I continued walking to get home soon.
