YOUR LOVE IS DISAPPEARING
Chapter 3
Two days passed without Mayang I really bothered, cook my own instant noodles, wash dishes and clothes myself. Washing by hand makes my hands a little dry, only a little but my wife's hands are so rough when she just sits sweet at home without working, because housework is not as heavy as office work so I am lazy to buy my wife a washing machine, anyway she can wash herself, so she can wash herself, not so heavy even I see he still has plenty of time to play his ugly phone whose screen has been cracked.
It's Sunday so I'm off at the office, going to the hospital it's so lazy. But I'm a little scared if my mother-in-law is mad at me. With a heavy heart I stepped out of the house, just took out the motorbike already seen his cousin Mayang's car parked beside the house, I saw Mayang out of the car's latest output. This car makes me so jealous of him.
Once I slandered Narto because he had just bought a car, I was so jealous to see his big house and his nice car. Narto also often gave my son unhealthy snacks. I said don't give healthy snacks to my son, maybe it's not halal money. From that day on he rarely came and gave snacks to my son. Mandul is barren, do not make my son sick, even die because of unhealthy food from him.
At that time Narto wanted to slap me because my words hurt his feelings, for me it did not hurt at all because it was true. Narto was married for four years but did not have children, probably because of the pesugihan he did. I told the villagers to investigate Narto who knew he was actually participating in the pesugian, but until now nil they did not find.
Mayang was helped by his wife Narto to enter my house, I mean our house. Yes our house, this is my wife's house that she bought herself with her savings while she was in college and a little helped by her parents. Don't ask me, it's very prestige to buy a bad house like this because I'm a civil servant. What people say later.
My wife now looks a little thin and her skin is a little white, is that pale? Ah, how pale after all he used to be white, it's just that when he was with me he was a little charred, his own fault why he grew vegetables behind the house, I had banned him but he was stubborn. The answer is quite good to eat, even sometimes I see him giving celery leaves to the neighbors, he said only alms.
It just feels weird. Alms of celery leaves. Giving alms to the mosque and announcing our name there, it can only be said sedeka and people also know that we are generous.

”Honey, have you spoken to mom?” my question is full of investigation on Mayang when the others have returned home.
”Speaking what, Bang?” Many looked at me in wonder. Did he forget our conversation at the hospital yesterday? This wife of mine, really senile.
”That's about your legacy,” sucks once I was forced to explain back. Now Mayang's eyes are already glazed. Faced, what exactly did he cry about? I am really surprised at what he did.
”Mother is still alive, no inheritance, Bang.” Obviously, then look the other way.
”Kan can give you another reason, Dek.” this time must succeed the inheritance fell into the hands of my wife after I will borrow it to buy a car.
”Ga can, Bang. There is still my brother and my younger brother,” he replied lightly. True too, they are one of the barriers. Then let me seduce my mother-in-law and obtain the inheritance of my wife's right.
My wife was already closed, I couldn't possibly tell her to ask my mother-in-law again. It's good that I seduced mom, very sure that she would give it to me.
Mumpung is still morning, it's the right time to go to the mother-in-law's house, he must be tired because two days to keep Mayang in the hospital.
I left my wife who was asleep, she could not catch up with me to my mother's house because of her weak condition. It didn't take long to get to my mother-in-law's house.
I entered a very large page. My eyes were fixed on the new motorcycle parked in the yard of his house, what could this be my mother-in-law's motorcycle.
”Bu, Ali where?” I asked the woman who was cleaning catfish at this time. Catfish food alone, disgusting. I know very well the fish wants to eat anything, even jumbo catfish want to eat chicken carcasses as well. I think my stomach almost pulled out.
”Ali streets with Riska. He said he never went for a walk, why do you as a father never take your son for a walk?” I'm happy if my brother-in-law wants to take Ali out for a walk especially if it's frequent, then I don't have to listen to Ali's noise. But mother's question of success makes my ears hot.
”I'm busy, Mom. Not want to take Ali for a walk,” obviously I have to defend myself.
”Sunday gini can take a walk, as busy as you?” Emphasis-filled mother questions.
It's a pity, it's been a lot of protest. If I die, I'll lift his collar later to the last bed.
”Sorry, Mom. Next time I will take Ali for a walk,” the words I have to say for the harmony of my daughter-in-law and in-laws. It sucks!
”Bu, actually Mayang sick what?” I ventured to ask even though I was sure in my mother-in-law's heart I would be angry.
”Asam the lights are severe,” replied my mother-in-law and then switched to staring at me. ”There was a urinary tract infection as well,” then my in-laws heaved a heavy sigh. A moment later, her tears flowed. It is not wrong to say that women are so crybaby and cry easily to get sympathy from us men.
”Don't cry, Mom. Does Mayang know and does she have to have surgery?” I calmed him down a bit and also I brought up some questions.
”Should have been yesterday he had surgery, but Mayang did not want, he said take herbal medicine, said the doctor also if the possibility of healing herbal medicine is very small,” explained the mother. Then put the knife on the table and wipe the tears with the back of his hand.
”Which should be operation, Mom. The only way is mom,” firmly me. I saw these eyes of my in-laws glaring wide at me, I knew he was confused.
”What does this mean?” the woman who gave birth to my wife knitted her eyebrows together.
”I ask permission, may if the property rights Mayang taken aja,” half afraid I asked for it. I'm pretty sure that Mayang's rights are a lot. Because Mayang pertah told me that if the land of his mother's rice field was rented to people because they could not manage it, especially now the father-in-law was no longer there. It's a shame if it's not used.
”You sure?”I'm rocking steady.
Succeeds.
I said goodbye after my mother-in-law gave me the blue map, my heart was blossoming. This legacy land can be sold entirely even if my mother-in-law says sell as necessary, I need everything. My dream of buying a car has to be achieved. Earlier mother offered me a meal but I refused it subtly. It would be disgusting if I had to eat such food, even if the person said it was a lot of nutrition but to me it was disgusting.
Seriate...
