Between Me and Your Mother
Unconsidered

The night has passed. And again Melati always fails to ask Reyhan about who Prilly really is.

Yeah, because after their dinner, Reyhan fell asleep in their room. So that Melati was not as brave as it was to wake him up just to ask about someone who would certainly trigger a fight between them later.

Because today is Sunday, Melati deliberately woke up rather unfortunate. He thought, let him relax on this holiday by making breakfast rather unfortunate. Because usually, on Sundays, Reyhan and his mother-in-law never eat breakfast in the morning.

"what's the cook today?"

"do I eat my favorite food in Reyhan?"

"ah yes, I will make orek tempe and rendang favorite meat mas Reyhan then"

Murmured Melati while walking casually towards the kitchen. But just now he entered the kitchen area, suddenly his eyes had to watch an annoying incident.

Yes, Melati was so annoyed when she found that the kitchen where struggling to spoil her husband's tongue was randomized by Prilly.

Melati was surprised when she saw the woman named Prilly was still in her house. Because he thought, after the stifling incident at the dinner table last night, Prilly would go straight home. But the woman was staying at her house.

"hai Melati" said the prilly who saw Melati clad in the kitchen entrance.

Melati only smiled stiffly as she walked over.

"you just woke up?" ask Prilly

"no, I've been up since. It's just that I deliberately cooked a bit bad because if Sunday like this Reyhan and mommy do not have breakfast"

"oh yeah? breakfast is very important, you should force merwka to have breakfast Mel"

"no need to be forced, they know what's best for themselves"

"wow. wow. it smells so good. My stomach is so hungry". As they were talking, arriving from behind came Reyhan's raucous voice that came towards Melati and hugged her from behind

In a position like this, Melati felt increasingly benefited. He then stroked Reyhan's perfectly circular hand on his stomach. Even Melati did not hesitate to kiss Reyhan's cheek that was leaning on his shoulder.

While Prilly, she just stared at the intimacy between husband and wife with a sweet smile.

"Rey.. are you hungry?" ask Prilly

"yes, smelling the smell of this cooking makes my stomach rumble" Reyhan said as he picked up one piece of meat cooked rendang.

"how's it feel?" ask Prilly curiously

"really delicious.. My wife is very smart, she knows my favorite food" Reyhan replied as he continued to chew.

"i really know your favorite food, but unfortunately the food is not my cooking" said Melati while releasing her husband's embrace

"heaven't. uhuk.."

Reyhan coughed immediately. He immediately craved the food he was still chewing just now.

"drink first" Prilly gave a full glass of cold water. And Reyhan also uprooted the drink without rest.

After being relieved, Reyhan dived in and out of here looking for his wife's whereabouts "where's Melati?"

"he's gone"

Without a word to say, Reyhan hurried away. But when he was about to step, a voice that was calling him was able to stop his steps without coercion.

"Mother? what's wrong mom?" ask Reyhan

"this is sunday ma'am?"

"why Sunday?"

"if Sunday we rarely have breakfast" ma'am"

"once on this Sunday we have breakfast is not papa Rey, after all there is also food available. Isn't your stomach really hungry, is it?"

Reyhan was still silent while staring at his favorite meat rendang

"there is your favorite food" whispered the mother

"come on Rey, taste my food. Didn't you just say this food was delicious?" timpal Prilly with a face

"but I have to catch up with Melati ma'am, she must be mad at me"

"what to worry about? Melati can't be angry. You didn't do anything wrong to her?"

"but I was praising the cooking of another woman in front of her mom"

"it's okay. Where is the error? isn't it a fact that Prilly's cooking is really good?"

"i'm afraid Melati is heartbroken because of my words ma'am"

"impossible. He's an adult. She must have known and understood that her husband was hungry and in need of food"

"but bu__"

"come on, let's sit down and accompany me to breakfast"

"alright"

Reyhan followed his mother's words. He even voraciously ate the food without any leftovers and without thinking about how Melati was feeling being hurt.

...***...

While in the corner of the room bright and decorated with sunlight, Melati was wiping her tears. Calms his soul and heart which was so wounded this morning.

Yes, Melati is very disappointing attitude of the husband who seems to have no stance.

How not?

Presumably as a husband, Reyhan was able to maintain his intention to meet Melati even though her mother forbade him.

But what's going on?

Reyhan jistru resigned and obeyed the wishes of the mother without thinking about how destroyed her feelings.

Especially when Melati was about to decide to go out and cook another meal for Reyhan, she saw clearly that her husband, mother-in-law, was, and even Reyna the stepdaughter was playing with a joke while enjoying a breakfast made by Prilly.

And at that moment Melati also felt very not considered a family member.
