An hour later, Annisa was standing in the house that looked strange. A big house that seems empty. Luxurious yet not comfortable looking.
Annisa sits on a chair while constantly contacting her parents or occasionally she knocks on the door. But until now there was no answer at all.
The woman began to think about the possibility. Until his daydreams are scattered due to the sound of his cellphone. Bram's name filled the screen and Annisa instantly picked it up
"Hallo mas ..."
/Annaisa? you have arrived, right? if you see from the time on the ticket, you should have arrived. But to napa you haven't told me? I'm worried you know not... You're at your mom's house, right? is there nothing on the road?/
Annisa looked at her parents' house. Choosing to hide this problem rather than her husband would magnify a small problem like this.
"Sorry .. I've arrived. I'm fond of reminiscing about my childhood here. Forgetting the same time. Sorry, yes, mas. So, you're the first one who called me like this."
/No problem .. what matters is that you are okay. I am so relieved to hear it./
"Oh yes ... How is Rama Mas? He's not raging, is he? I feel a little bad for Rama. Afraid he's angry. We don't wake him up, he's gone. Besides I also do not have the heart to go on Rama crying too," continued Annisa slowly.
/Hahaha ..no problem. Rama's a little bit of a rampage as we thought. But I can remember him and already, now mas more relieved because I have heard from you. Now, let you rest. Must be tired of traveling far?/
"Hm ..."
/Yes .. happy Annisa holiday./
"Yes, thank you."
The woman sighed. Looked at his cell phone blankly.
"I'm sorry I lied" he mumbled. "I'm afraid that you're worried and you're even here. Until now, I don't know where my mom is."
It can't be quiet.
Finally Annisa put all the stuff in the yard of the house that was slightly covered by chairs. Then he went to the garden that used to be the place of his family's livelihood. There again and again Annisa must swallow the disappointment of not finding her parents.
"Lagian ..emang it is impossible that the same mother still works like gini," muttered Annisa looking at dozens of cassava trees in front of him. "Udah tired, hot, dapet not much money. Must be the same mother now prefer diem at home. Bram also sends money every month. So, they don't have to be tired anymore like this."
Annisa rushes back, then she finds a small hut stall and decides to buy a cup of ice. To quench his thirst.
"Bu .. buy iced tea sweet yes," pinta Annisa politely to the seller who is guarding.
"Drink here, ma'am."
After ordering, Annisa sat on a wooden chair facing the street. He looked over and over and was confused. What Annisa knows, her village used to be so crowded. Unable to know time. Even day or late at night. There must be a lot of people passing by. But why can it be quiet now until like this.
"Here is indeed quiet when it's kayak gini afternoon," said the seller while placing Annisa's order and sitting in a chair near the door of the stall. "Where's the ring? how did you just see?"
"Ah .. I'm originally here, ma'am. Marni's son. But indeed the last few years I worked in the city and ended up getting married there. You know Marni's mother?" ask Annisa after sipping a drink
"Mother Marni?" her question was which Annisa nodded. "Mother Marni has a big house down the street, right?" ask the mother
Annisa nodded quickly and turned around.
"Where? you know my mother? if you may know, where is my mother. You see, I haven't been here for a long time and I'm confused about the empty house like that. Contacting also cannot. So, you know anything about my mom?" ask Annisa expectantly
"Mother is new here. So we don't know much yet, but there's a famous rumor about our mother."
Annisa nodded, listening carefully.
"Your mother is known to be arrogant as the villagers here. He always boasted about his wealth and the amount of money he received. She also always boasted of her daughter-in-law which means your husband huh?"
Clumsy Annisa nodded.
"Everybody hates your mom. Being arrogant, your mother also often demeans others. So, many do not like it. What if someone comes to borrow money. Not on borrowed. Your mother was angry and underestimated."
"Oh my goodness ..." Annisa scooped her face in frustration.
There were a lot of bad things that he had just heard and this made the woman completely embarrassed. He looked at the shop mother with a sorry look.
"Bu .. on behalf of my mother, I'm sorry .. I don't know if it turns out that mother's behavior is here until it's like that. Geez .. I'm not feeling good."
"It doesn't matter .. It's not you who did it. But something big enough happened because of your mother and therefore until now, we never saw your mother or your father again and the house was empty."
Annisa looked seriously and took a sip of saliva.
"What's wrong mom?"
