Anta's death had come to the seventh night.
Sayup-sayup heard the sound of people reading prayers and also yasinan offered to the deceased Anta to calm in the afterlife.
Soleh and Jyria were also present among the other Soleh brothers.
Only Tito was an obstacle present on the grounds of having to go out of town to take his Grand Mistress, Samsiah.
They're going out of town. But he had been home since late afternoon and was enjoying a beautiful night in Ojan's quiet room with no one but the two of them.
Of course this opportunity is not wasted Samsiah to be with his sweet lean who is sturdy and plaid.
Tito himself could not resist.
A sum of money as usual so he accepted the invitation of Samsiah who was like a lioness who starved for affection.
Age does not make it a hindrance.
Without shame and hesitation now it is Samsiah who plays a more dominant role. And Tito was more passive letting Samsiah treat himself like a toy.
What a bad middle-aged woman because half her soul had turned into a demon.
While Lani and her family were busy taking care of her father's seventh birthday.
He waits in the kitchen of Mariana's house accompanied by Lestari, his wife Jamal.
"Lan, Ma'am want to go out for a second huh!? Want to make sure if the rice we make is enough for guests who come tahlilan!"
"Yes, Mommy!"
At first Lani used to sit alone in the kitchen door like a hallway while tidying up the pile of rice boxes that will be shared after the tahlilan is over.
Suddenly, it was like a strong wind was hitting the kitchen door. And...
Rambour.
The door seemed to be closing so hard.
"Wind from where? Koq,"
Lani glares. His face was deathly pale after both his eyeballs looked at a familiar figure with a charred black face as well as red eyes pointed at him.
"Ba_ba_ba..mr!!!" his screams were frightened and instantly took a thousand steps.
Her chest frowned after making it out of the kitchen door.
Lani nearly bumps into Cia who just came with Ardi, her son Fitra.
"Ma? Why, Ma?" asked the pretty boy who knew nothing.
Cia's innocent eyes seemed to turn red. Sontak Lani shouted out loud.
"Yahoo!!!"
"Mama!?"
"Aunt why?" ask Ardi too.
The two toddler boys led Lani's cold, wet hands in fear.
"Lani?" Lestari and Aulia who came together immediately hit Lani who was afraid.
"Mr, Ma! The father!!! There's a father in the kitchen!!!" her strangulation made Aulia instantly chant some prayers of repellent.
Lani's face is white like cotton.
"Istighfar, De' Lani. Istighfar!" the word Aulia made Lani instantly aware.
"Astaghfirullah astaghfirullahal'adziiim..."
Cia and Ardi also helped Lani say the sentence istighfar.
Lestari gives Lani a drink.
Lani looks better than ever. Even though his breath was still wheezing and his chest was rumbling.
"Father come to me, Ma'am!"
"Father is gone, De'! Please let go of father. Let's pray you quiet in the barzakh realm, De'!" aulia spoke wisely.
Lani nodded as she wiped her dripping tears.
Mariana's in the front room. Follow me sitting tahlilan with the door of the room accidentally opened.
Her tears did not stop.
The more days He went through without Anta, the more Mariana became aware. She needed her husband so much.
The man who has been a soulmate for 38 years was more than just a husband.
Anta is his friend, friend and enemy.
Anta is always there beside him to support as well as support whatever is his choice.
Long ago, when her husband was alive. Mariana more often complained of the behavior of the husband who did not match his expectations.
A rather lazy husband. Likes to foya-foya when given a lot of money by the Almighty. The most annoying person whose work only undermines Mariana from young.
Having four children makes Mariana try to survive on the side of Anta.
Once he ran away to his parents' house leaving the man who likes to gamble and drink liquor by asking for a divorce.
But Anta immediately hugged and grabbed her body. The man carries Mariana's body back to the butut house of her family's heritage.
Because he was used to being spoiled by parents, his life was too much. I don't think about the future and have no clear purpose in life.
For him, getting married and having many children was an incredible achievement that he had already achieved. The rest of economic affairs, Anta believes that God will certainly give everyone the slightest sustenance.
Fortunately, Mariana is a woman who is used to working hard from childhood. Trade in the market, take a job as a tandur porters and harvest also ngored porters, he lived.
Sometimes Mariana complained about her life like this.
One of the benefits he got by marrying Anta, his four children in school until high school was funded by Anta's parents completely.
That's why both Soleh, Fitra, Jamal and Lani obtained a fairly high level of education if aligned with other village children, the majority of whom only went to school until Junior High.
Mariana also has the nature of jumawa because she married the son of a rich rice merchant. So that the way of thinking is getting narrower and more spending money.
All three of his sons were married to good girls. Only Soleh who according to Mariana wrongly chose a wife for marrying a poor girl from the next village.
While Fitra and Jamal, Mariana and Anta again rose in the eyes of the neighbors of the villagers.
Lani, his only daughter, embarrassed Mariana and Anta.
Lani is secretly dating the next-door neighbor's son. And admitted that he had not come two months.
Of course, inevitably Mariana and Anta received a proposal Tito with a dowry that their families are not blasphemed by people like the family of Ojan Samsiah whose daughter is pregnant dij+sa unknown man in school bathroom.
Perches.
Mariana surprised. The picture with Anta fell apart. Pieces of wood and pieces of glass lay irregularly on the floor.
Tahlilan just finished. One by one the neighbors who attended prayed for Anta's death to return to their homes.
Leave Mariana and her sons and daughters-in-law.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Soleh who heard a loud noise from his Father's room.
"Figura photo fell, Leh!"
"Yes already. Let Soleh clean up. I just moved to the middle room. Sit down with Jyria and the others."
Mariana according. With a lethargic step he moved into the living room that had been deserted by guests. Only the nuclear family.
"Here, Mom!" jyria said to keep Mariana entertained.
The best daughter-in-law to her is now her last hope.
"Yes..."
"Yes, Mom?"
"Can I stay at the shop with Soleh and you?" ask without thinking.
"May, Mom! But Abi also stayed there for a while. Abi wants to stay with us before he's fully healed."
Mariana recalled the story of Soleh about Ojan's vulgarity and harsh words to her eldest son the other day. Make her lips curl.
"Oala. he said shophouses and workshops will be yours if you are married. But koq turns out your abu is still undermining you guys to this day huh?" mariana's insinuations made the heart of Jyria sting as well.
"And indeed the shophouse and the workshop belong to Abi, Mom! Bang Soleh was just handed over to take care of it, ma'am!" juriah said with a fluffy smile.
"Just be a manager? Meaning, nothing more than a lackey?"
The Syrian face turned red.
He was somewhat insinuated as if Mariana said Abinya was a cruel person even though very kind and generous to Mariana and Anta. Even last week the farmland that Anta Mariana was working on that was supposed to pay a monthly fee has now changed hands to belong to Anta Mariana.
Juria was a little sensitive to dare to express the anxiety of her heart.
"What's so bad about Abi Umi, ma'am? You have eight hundred square meters of land. Your daughter-in-law also works with Umi. Your son is also Abi Umi's favorite daughter-in-law. Is there a better chance of my Abi Umi?"
Now Mariana who was stunned to hear the words of Juriah.
But Mariana did not dare to reply to the words of Jyria. Because everything that Jyria said is true.
Only Ojan's family alone gave him a massive enjoyment of property.
The other besan is not.
Aulia, Lestari as the older daughter-in-law could only fall silent.
"Already, already. Why bother trivial problems. Never mind. I can stay here and Lani can accompany me. We'll also look at mom once."
Fitra as a second child tried to take over melting the atmosphere.
Soleh was still cleaning Mariana's room so that no small piece of figura glass was left on the floor.
"I'm moving into a new house, Bang!"
All eyes looked at Lani.
"When?" ask Mariana in shock.
"Lusa, Ma! I want to feel at home soon. Not constantly hitchhiking at the house of in-laws also at the house of the Father."
"Keep mother how?" ask Jamal.
"This house then what if Mom lives with Lani? This is the house of my father for my mother. Still Mother lives here. We-we're gonna come take turns looking at Mom!"
All looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Leave Mariana who let out a long sigh. Because loneliness will soon accompany his days ahead.
