"Where am I?" ask Aminah.
Rando looked into the eyes of the woman who gave birth to Noval. The age of Aminah is actually not too old for senile. Aminah was sixty-two years old.
"Mom, sit down first, yes" he said and led the woman.
Aminah sat down, Hafsah gave her warm tea to her in-laws. She does not know the condition of her husband's mother.
"Mom, drink the tea first yes," he said gently.
"Thank you son" said Aminah.
He also sipped the warm tea. The smell of ginger makes it calm. The water also fits on the tongue and does not make it burn.
"Warm!" senggakan.
Hafsah was happy, he certainly knew what his favorite in-laws were. He kissed his forehead and put his head on Aminah's lap.
"Son" said Aminah stroking the head of Hafsah.
"Andai Noval is not married. I'll marry you to my son" he said slowly.
"What Mom?" ask Hafsah who did not really hear the words of the in-laws.
"It's okay, son," said Aminah pacifying Hafsah.
"Ah, mom. I was cooking vegetable stir-fry kale and sambal anchovy mother's favorite beans," said Hafsah enthusiastically.
"Well, I can't wait to taste your cooking, son!" aminah was happy.
Hafsah frowned. The woman certainly did not understand the meaning of the in-laws.
'Ah .. maybe because I rarely cook for mom. So mom says so!' monologue in the heart.
Rando stared at the two women of different ages. He was very sure if Noval had not told Aminah's health to Hafsah, his nephew.
"Take your mom get some rest!" ask Rando.
"Yes Paklik, come on Mom!'
According to Aminah, he followed Hafsah and went to his room. All the clothes have been neatly arranged by Noval.
Noval never hesitated to carry his sleeves to help his wife. The man was not ashamed to wash dishes or sweep the floor even mopping also drying his wife's underwear.
"No!' call Rando.
"Yes Paklik!" sahut Noval looks at Rando.
Rando approached, Noval was drying clothes. Rando was going to help her.
"No need to be Paklik!" prevent Noval.
"I can do it!" he said while attaching the last wash on the transverse rope.
"Let's sit there Paklik!" bring Noval.
Two men sat on the back porch. Around the house has been walled so that santri and santriwati can not see towards the house.
"Have you not told your wife about your mother's health?" rando asked as he put his ass on the chair.
"Not puslik, I'm afraid Hafsah thought," replied Noval gave an excuse.
"But, later Hafsah even surprised if you know later!" rando said worriedly.
Noval was silent, the midwife said that Hafsah was not so good in her pregnancy this time. He was afraid that something would happen to his wife and the two fetuses in Hafsah's stomach.
"Mother has already revealed her senility. He forgot where he was, '" explained Rando.
"I'm afraid that your mother would ask who Hafsah is" he said with a really worried mimic.
Noval is confused, maybe he should tell his mother's health condition to his wife.
"I'm sure if you give Hafsah an understandable explanation he won't worry!" rando's light again.
"I'll try Paklik" Noval said at the end.
Rando breathed a sigh of relief. He would also give his nephew peace of mind if needed.
Lunch arrived, Hafsah led her in-laws out of the room. The woman was very spoiled for her in-laws.
"You are spoiled, dear" said Aminah.
The woman sat down, Hafsah prepared all the food for Noval, Rando and Aminah as well as Visya.
Everyone is calm when eating. No one spoke, for they ate with their hands without a spoon.
"Alhamdulillah!" say everything after you finish eating.
Hafsah cleaned the dining table. This time Noval invites her mother to sit in the living room and let her wife be with her daughter.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" ask Noval.
The three of them sat down, Rando was there. He also wanted to know the words of Aminah.
"Where's your wife. I haven't seen him!" aminah was upset.
Noval looked at his wife's uncle. This is what Rando feared. Aminah forgot her daughter-in-law Hafsah.
"Mr ...."
"Just divorce him. You trade with a better woman than that woman!" tukas Aminah angry.
"Bu istighfar Ma'am!" Noval.
Rando clenched his hands tightly. He suppressed all his emotions. He realized that Aminah was sick.
"Mom .. I can't live without my wife" Noval said softly.
"But I didn't see your wife. All I see is a pregnant woman and she cares so much about you and your child!' ketus Aminah's.
"She is my wife Ma'am" said Noval, who kept Aminah silent.
"She's the wife you chose for me" she continued.
"He Hafsah Nadia Anggraini. Daughter of Aida and Nando,"
"Hafsah that son of a bitch who likes to climb trees?" tanya Aminah remembered the name of the little girl who always ran barefoot.
"Yes ma'am" Noval replied withholding a smile.
"Hafsah who likes to be beaten by his mother for chasing kites break up and play marbles?" Noval nodded again.
"Mom married you to a woman like that?" he continued asking in disbelief.
Rando almost clucked, Aminah forgot that Hafsah was a hafidzah and an ustadzah.
"But Hafsah became beautiful and pious after adulthood Mom. The proof is mom married me to that girl!' sahut Noval again.
Aminah was silent, her memory of a small Hafsah kept looming in her head. The girl's mischief did make everyone in the village dizzy. Especially if Aida shouted at Hafsah and beat him.
The night is late. Hafsah examined her mother-in-law lying down. Slowly he rubbed the woman's wrinkled forehead. Aminah's entire hair was bleached.
"I love you" whispered the woman.
Slowly Hafsah came out of the room. Aminah opened her eyes when the door was closed.
"He's not a Hafsah!" mumbling insisted.
"I'll make sure Noval gets you married, son. Let it be okay. The child in your womb will be the son of Noval!" continued.
The woman took the flat object that was on top of the nightstand. Slowly he looked for a name there.
"Leli, can ask between Bustom. You're here! Bring your daughters!" tell him when the call is connected.
"Good Mom!" tell the woman across there.
The call is interrupted, he will make sure if Hafsah is not a gentle and caring woman.
In the morning, everyone wakes up. Hafsah takes care of her daughter and husband. Then he headed to his in-laws room.
The large pregnant woman bathed Aminah affectionately. Aminah loved the attention of the woman.
"You deserve my son!" he said sure, even though it was only in the heart.
"Well, mommy is already fragrant. Mom sat on the front porch, huh, ' take Hafsah.
Aminah was sitting there staring at the children running into the classroom. Rando became the temporary teacher in place of Hafsah.
"Mom her tea," Hafsah put a cup of tea there.
The woman sat in the chair next to her father-in-law.
"Who's the owner of this pesantren son?" ask Aminah.
"Hafsah ma'am," the woman replied confusedly.
"Oh" nodded Aminah.
'No matter you have this boarding school legal. I made sure that my son married the woman next to me!' aminah's resolve in heart.
Seriate.
