You Relieve Me to Take Off
Ch21: Being With Him Can Go

Habits that were never, ever, done while in Jakarta. Changed while staying at her in-laws house.

Similarly, this morning, Ali had to take a shower before dawn prayers. The coldness that invaded his body, made him tighten his teeth. “Do not laugh, the husband is cold again,” his regret glances towards Meisya.

Who laughs at his condition, no more like a chicken that was down a well, for three hours.

The woman tightened her lips, all her might, holding back her laughter.

“Ya already here hug,” she said stretching out both her hands. Running towards her husband.

But Ali avoided it. “No, I've been ablution! There far, you also have to wudhu,” he said, opening the wardrobe.

“Remember Bib, shower that morning was a lot of benefits know,” said the woman, opened the bathroom door.

“Ya ..it will make a strong cold, well I will not...” refute the man quickly.

“Everything depends on the intention, the proof is when you junub. Because it has to be dawn!”

Ali sizzled wrongly. “If it's a form of self-rescue.”

“Means?” Squeeze his eyes.

Ali smiled meaningfully. Of course Meisya could catch the meaning of her husband's smile.

“No need to be clarified,” cut Meisya when Ali will speak up. Quickly the woman entered the bathroom.

Ali rushed out of the room. Along with that, the door of Abah's room was also open.

The middle-aged man smiled looking at his son-in-law, wearing a sarong and a cocoa shirt.

“We leave together. Coincidentally this morning Abah did not have a hand in hand,” he said walking hand in hand with his son-in-law.

“Indeed mom why?” Ali glanced at Abah.

“Your mother is sick stomach, in contrast to Meisya who prefers to pray at home. Because it is the best place to pray for women is home..”.

Both of them move out. Ali's most happy moment while staying at her in-laws' house, was. You can see a group of children santri out of their respective rooms to the mosque.

“Assalamu’alaikum Bah, Mas Ali!” greet the men with responsibility to them.

“Wa’alaikumussalam!”

From far away came three men walking up to Abah and Ali who took off his sandals, into the mosque.

The three said their greetings in unison. The pair of sons-in-law and son-in-law replied.

“Mas Ali, when to come?” ask one of the three.

“Last night Ustadz!” reply Ali briefly.

Abah glanced at his daughter-in-law, Ali's face looking annoyed. I don't know what it was because, he didn't know.

But when he realized that there is an endadz Iman. Abah began to speculate, if Ali felt uncomfortable with the Ustadz Iman. Who used to abuse Meisya, but was rejected.

“Ya has been mending directly into the tent again enter ikomat,” said Abah, as if to keep his daughter-in-law away from ustadz Iman.

Maybe this way Ali's annoyance is gone.

From a distance the middle-aged female figure walked towards the mosque while carrying a grocery bag.

“Bah, remember this Saturday rations nganter mom to the market,” said Atan glanced at Abah.

The ustadz smiled. They all know that Abah and her four sons have a delivery schedule to the market.

Abah immediately stood up from his seat, before his wife came and said her greetings.

“Wa’alaikumussalam!” answers synchronously.

Not with Ali bowed down, dissolved in his own mind. Not realizing that her mother-in-law was coming.

“Come on, Abah delivery! Abah forgot it was Saturday, so get together first..”.

“No, Abah kept his jagongan! I want to be escorted with Ali,” replied the mother made Abah and her three children agape.

“If there is an old young one being smothered,” chirps Arsa holding a laugh.

“What Abah liked when Ali came here full family. But behind it all, Abah also felt threatened by his arrival. I'm starting to forget Abah!” chirps Abah slowly.

Make everyone chuckle.

“Remember the age of the Bah, let's take Li between Mothers to the market.”

Ali was aghast when his shoulder was patted by someone.”Huh?” Put on a confused face.

“Already come ... find reward...” Arga giggled amusedly to see his sister-in-law pulled by mother.

“Search for reward? Is there a special place besides the mosque, school and workplace?” ali asked, because her mother-in-law pulled her arm.

“Ke market, nganter-in-law also reward,” said Atan.

Ali shook his head, muttering his folly. Because most daydreaming is not conscious with the surrounding.

“Ali change clothes together take car keys first yes Bu,” he said.

“Iya, use the motor aja ... I'm sure if the last week you never rode a motorbike,” said the mother smiled, considering that her daughter-in-law does not have a motorbike.

“Do not motor ..becak only ever Bu...”

“All of Ali's vehicles have ever boarded it, only one has not,” he said smiling meaningfully.

I don't know why Ali was so detached from talking to her mother-in-law.

“What?” ask the curious mother.

“Cart..”.

I was upset because Ali was joking.

“Obviously you're not noodles, not coconut ice .. So it's natural!”

TBC....

With his mother-in-law, Ali was without burden.
