Bram pretended to cleared his throat and knocked on Annisa's room door. The woman immediately panicked and ended up beating too.Hopefully her husband did not hear her feud with his mother on the phone. Annisa just doesn't want to add to the problem. Plus, he just had a good relationship with Bram.
"What's up, ma'am? You need anything?"
Bram looks misbehaved and rubs his nape, awkward. He scowled while staring at Annisa making Annisa so confused herself and reply with a confused look.
"Eh ... What does this mean?"
Bram was getting wrong to see Annisa who was staring fixedly at him. “Ehm it .. you are beautiful.”
“Hah?” Annisa was getting panicked to hear it.
He tried desperately to refrain from squealing, even though in his heart it felt like Annisa did not know what to do but scream loudly. Hearing the praise that he almost completely lived in this world that he had never heard made Annisa really happy. Moreover, the one who praised him was the one who had last few days filled the recesses of his mind and soul.
“It's not wrong if I praise you?” bram said, trying to calm down. “So I have not had time to praise you because it is shocked by the narration of Rama who said you are not honest. Therefore, now I want to say that you look very beautiful and fit the clothes I sent. You like it?”
Annisa turned to the cupboard, where the clothes she was wearing had been hung.
The woman smiled and nodded, “suka. Thank you, for giving me such a beautiful gift. Though I really do not expect anything because the clothes in the closet are quite good,” lies Annisa.
“No Annisa .. I just realized that during my marriage with you, I never took you shopping. You never buy your needs. So, it seems that later wekeend I will spare time to ngajak you same Rama shopping. How?”
“Tersubscribe mas only.”
Bram was silent, confused to ask what the man was still curious about what he had heard. But, it felt like Bram was hesitant to ask Annisa. He was afraid that by asking even offended the woman. Not only that, Bram was also afraid that Annisa felt himself exaggerated by asking about the understanding of the woman.
“Annisa,” call Bram in the end makes Annisa who has been looking down immediately.
“Iya?”
“Is there no complaint you want to tell mas?”
Annisa swallows saliva, the woman is really very clumsy. Afraid that Bram did hear her talk on the phone. Annisa nervously shook her head and instead laughed awkwardly.
“Nggak ... no complaints at all, why?” ask Annisa back. “You and Rama have given me so much of the best. So I have no complaints at all. You guys have been really great. I can't afford to complain anymore,” replied Annisa who pretended not to understand the same question from Rama.
“Not about me or Rama, but about your life.”
Bram invites Annisa into the woman's room and they sit on the carpet there.
Annisa carefully sat down next to Bram.
“Means mas?”
“As I have mentioned before, if I know you less. So, I don't know the problem you're facing. Do you have any complaints about your life? Out of your family. Everything ... I hope, you can tell me everything is the same. Because I will not be silent if it turns out you have a problem.”
Degh's!
Annisa's heart was beating very fast. His mind immediately wandered to the wishes of the mother who wanted a large amount of money. But the thought that he was not who in Bram's life, made Annisa shake her head.
He couldn't take a chance, that's what Annisa had instilled into him.
Finally Annisa just lowered her head and shook her head.
“Annisa, you must understand that I am your husband. If there is any problem. You can tell me the same story. Maybe if I ever scare you, I promise I'll change. Is that not what I said? So ... if there is anything do not hesitate to say the same to me.”
“...”
“Despite this, I want to be a good husband for you and a good father for Rama. I don't want everyone to be tortured because of me. I want to do my best. So ... please work together.”
Annisa bit her lower lip.
The woman's feelings became mixed, even so she nodded.
“Sorry yes mas, because I still can not open with you,” said Annisa in the end who was quite understood by Bram. “Maybe I'll start learning to be open with you. But I can't promise. Yes ... but I'll keep working on myself.”
“Yes already, I can't say anything to you. I just wish you could open up. So do I, if anything bothers me. I will open up with you. I promise.”
Bram stood up and gently rubbed Annisa's hair.
The woman's heart rippled, though unable to arrange Bram's face directly.
“Yes already, I say goodbye first. If there is anything, just call me yes.”
“Iya mas ..”
Annisa saw the departure of her husband. Once her husband was far enough ahead, Annisa quickly stood up and closed the door of her room quietly. Annisa turned around and held onto her chest that was still beating rapidly.
Annisa's breath immediately hunted down, she exhaled slowly.
“Yes .. good thing Bram, not any further,” Annisa murmured slowly. “Hopefully Bram is not aware of the same conversation I had with mom. Because I don't want to, mas Bram thinks that I'm a family that only benefits him. I don't want to.”
Annisa clasped her hand firmly and smiled faintly.
“I am really very cool because Bram wants to change, even so I have to apologize to Bram, because I resigned because of gini,” Annisa muttered slowly. “Sorry yes ams Bram, because I still can not open with you ..”
***
After leaving Annisa's room, Bram immediately locked the door to her room. He found his phone to call Annisa's mother's number. For a while, no one answered making Bram a little upset. Just on the fifth call, Annisa's mother picked her up.
/Tumben once, what is the mother-in-law?/ greet her mother Annisa without saying any greetings at all.
“Assalamualaikum, Mom. Sorry if I interrupted my mother's time in the afternoon like this.”
/Nothing bothers you at all, so ... What did you call mom? Did Annisa tell you mom's request? Well so ... real mom needs that kind of money, son. Mom didn't lie. If you still do not believe, you can come here and hear the promise of our neighbors./
Bram swallows saliva.
He actually doesn't know what's going on.
“Sorry ma'am, what's this really about? Because Annisa has not said anything to me and I called pure because I want to hear from mom. After a few months sent money or after the house was completed in the wake, I have never heard from mother,” said Bram with the intention of insinuating. “So I don't know mom is in fine or non-existent condition. Because ... mother relationship with Annisa also seems less good huh?”
/You must have heard something bad about the mother of the child huh?/ the words that sounded nagging made Bram speechless. /The child must have said something bad about the mother. You kid doesn't know at profit! You should never believe Annisa's words. Because she doesn't like her mom./
Bram cleared his throat, pretending not to understand.
“I mean mother, how about ya? There was a child who did not like his own mother and even said bad about his own mother?”
/.../
“So .. I guess, Annisa can't possibly say anything bad about mom.”
/You don't know Annisa very well! Actually I am confused with you, why would want to marry a ugly woman who can not be anything like Annisa. Though there are still many women who are much more perfect out there and among them all, why did you choose my son./
Bram closed his eyes.
The man swore to keep his own evil speech in-laws.
Because, at the time he was not his only son. Bram was very hurt to hear the words of his mother Annisa. What else Annisa to know what the same mother said.
“Bu .. why would a mother say bad about her own child?” asked Bram who made Annisa's mother immediately dodged across there. “Here I rarely hear the name of the mother who came out of Annisa's mouth. But Annisa never said anything bad about mom, if I asked her about mom. So, why do you even say bad about your own mother's child?”
The atmosphere was completely silent.
For a moment Bram heard nothing, until he called his mother Annisa and Annisa's mother replied from across the street.
“Already ... I will directly talk to mom. So, I was accidentally horrified that Annisa again has a problem with mom? But I dare not ask Annisa. Because what? because the mother's son really looked moody after the phone broke. So, I don't want to make Annisa sad anymore. I prefer to ask my mother. So ... What's going on here mom? And why does Annisa look so sad like this?” ask Bram with a little force.
/Ck .. when it's not a big deal. I just want a car. You know if the neighbors are here to question Annisa's marriage, they say that Annisa is pregnant out of wedlock or that Annia is married to a rich old man. But ... rather than all that, real mothers are the same sprain those who still doubt the wealth of mothers./
Bram closed his eyes.
So, the source of this problem is because of money?
She kept hearing her mother-in-law's absolutely ridiculous-sounding cry in Bram's ears.
/Everyone does not believe that now the same mother as Annisa already have a lot of money, because in our house there is no car. Yes, I do not accept dong if they underestimate mother like gini and happen to be near here, there is a car that is so. So later bakelan get an expensive car. Mom doesn't know the brand./
“Okei ... continue?”
/Yes .. his speech was not long, just ten months doang. Well, every month he was told to pay fifty million and from yesterday my mother called Annisa to ask for that money. But Annisa refused. He's a stingy guy./
“...”
/Anisa certainly got a lot of money from you. But he was even stingy and did not want to love mom a dime of his money. That's why mom was angry. Do you understand the feelings of Mom? I've financed Annisa's life from the baby but just ask for a little. The time he was nolak. You must understand the same frustration mom./
“Bu .. fifty million money is not small,” said Bram in the end with a very angry feeling. “Maybe so for mom, little. But not for those of us who make our hard-earned money. But back again, because I don't want Annia to be sad because I keep thinking about this problem. I'm gonna pay for all that. So, how much do you need, right? Should I buy it directly? let mom find a car that mom likes and I buy and send her directly there?”
/DON'T! I have promised this mother's neighbor that when she lies and disavows, there they even laugh at her. Let me follow this arisan. You just send fifty million money every month yes .../
“Ya already if that is what I want ..”
/Bram ... but—
“Why else, Mom? You still need something?”
/This fifty million money is beyond the monthly money you used to send right? Because the mother will not be enough if the income per month you are lacking./
This is what makes Bram hates people who are crazy about money.
And I don't know why, though,
To this day he has two wives, which means he has two in-laws. But both are crazy about money. Even so, Bram took a deep breath. Trying to spread themselves.
“Mother need not worry at all, because the monthly money will still be sent as usual and fifty million money will still come in. All that I will give, with certain conditions anyway ..”
/Yes ... What do you need? Just tell me, because you're good, not like Annisa. Then mother will be whatever you want./
“I didn't ask for much, I hope you don't make Annisa sad anymore. Because there's a lot of things that Annisa's been through here and I don't want to make Annisa sadder. Because Annisa never wanted to tell me if there was a problem. So, if there's anything you can say to me. Call me directly. Especially those related to money. Don't ask Annisa and never say anything bad to Annisa again.”
/Ah .. that is all. It's easy if it's mah, you don't have to worry. The origin of money is smooth and you do not forget the same fifty million. I'm not gonna be bad with Annisa./
“Ya has started next month, I will send you the money. I said yes, ma'am ..”
