Dusk Sky
Mother-in-law

Spring break is back. At the end of the holiday, it means the wedding of Dusk and Baskara exactly one year.

It's been a few months since Grace's visit. Everything went as usual. There are no obstacles or problems that are so meaningful in the household of both.

But now on the flight home. Dusk cannot sleep.

There was fear that engulfed his heart. Afraid of what Grace said would happen.

Afraid that when he arrives in Jakarta, Baskara will be forced to marry Grace.

The girl stroked her stomach. She didn't know what was going on until she wasn't pregnant. While Baskara prohibits and does not want to be invited to see a doctor. I don't know why, Dusk doesn't know. What's wrong with checking yourself.

"Why not sleep, hm?" Baskara asked softly. Grip his fingers that feel cold and kiss him.

"Your hands are cold, ayy. You tense?"

Dusk just a thin smile. Did not answer or agree with what Baskara said.

"You don't air anymore, do you?" Baskara pinched her a little bit.

"Where is! I've been going back and forth often NY-Indo" she said after hitting her husband's chest slowly. Fear of disturbing other passengers, most of whom are also closing their eyes.

"Keep tense why, hm?

Dusk biting his lower lip smudged. But felt no need to say the concussion in his heart.

Because Baskara had repeatedly confirmed to her, that no matter what happened, her husband would never double or even abandon her.

All she had to do was give her husband full trust.

"No papa" replied Dusk after a long silence and only look at each other with her husband who looks like an interpreter.

"Who will pick you up?" ask to shift the topic.

"Said the house driver. We will go to the mother's house with my father first, right? I just went to my mom's house with my dad?"

Dusk agreed. He realized, now has a husband and can not be all alone. After all, Baskara had not seen her parents for much longer. He had a holiday visit last winter.

Baskara rubbed his wife's cheek gently. "Now sleeping. Travel is still a long way later if you don't sleep."

***

Jakarta is a place that always longs to go home. Although he now has his own family, the warmth in his family has never been replaced. Because everyone has their place in their heart.

Being greeted with a warm hug by the mother-in-law was a new thing that Dusk felt. Because usually his father will be the first to hug him when he gets home.

Unless both of his brothers are picking him up at the airport.

"healthy darling?" pricilla asked, cupping both cheeks of her daughter-in-law. "You look cursory."

Dusk chuckled as his mother-in-law stared at Baskara sharply as if her weight loss was due to the young man.

"I don't know about bun. The oath!" said Baskara brandishing his index and middle fingers. Feeling threatened by the accusing gaze of the mother. "I feed you every day. Money from mother also I love all to Dusk. Aye, ayy?"

Dusk only chuckles at her husband trying to find a defense.

"Love eat! you think the mother chicken's son-in-law!"

"Aawww awww sick bun... Forgive me.." The deaf in pain as the woman who gave birth to him in this world pulled his right ear quite hard.

"You must be getting rid of twilight, right?! don't you want to help with homework?!"

"Yepuunnn.. Let go of dong."

Forcibly, Pricilla removed her hand from the ear of the son who had turned red. Not to see it either. Going home after a year was met with torture.

"Housework already has an expert. Twilight just makes breakfast the same dinner. It's also sometimes when we eat out."

Pricilla still doesn't believe it. "Why does your daughter-in-law get so skinny like this?!"

Actually Dusk is not so skinny. His body is still ideal. Although his cheeks were a little chubby, he was now a tapered one. And maybe it's just the age factor.

The more mature he is. His body was also following, getting more proportionate. Increasingly forms the elegance of a woman.

"No pa-pa motheraa... Mother who has not seen Dusk for a long time, so it looks thin." said Dusk save sanh husband.

Dusk hugged his mother-in-law from the side. Feeling happy to get the attention of an in-law.

Pricilla has always cared for her and loved her like a child.

But somehow after the stusus now turned into a daughter-in-law, getting the attention of her in-laws like that makes Dusk have a sense of pride of its own.

Exaggeration indeed. But new things after marriage do make Dusk sometimes excessive. Including his caution attitude towards the seeds of actors out there.

"Or are you still not familiar with the schedule of night sports with your husband so you are careless?" goda Pricilla who not only makes Dusk embarrassed with a reddened face, but also Baskara who smiled and scratched his neck misbehaved.

"Motheraa iih.. The language is so." the whining of Dusk endured the embarrassment. Hiding his face on Pricilla's shoulder. Makes her mother-in-law laugh.

"Lelaki is like that, Ja. There's no satisfaction. Are you still newlyweds and no one's bothering you yet."

Suddenly the face turned grim. Reminded about momongan, although not directly.

"Not to be sad." Pricilla rubbed her daughter-in-law's cheek which immediately felt stiffened. He could feel it because Dusk was still bending him.

"Mother used to hold fast to the sentence all will be beautiful in time."

Baskara looked at his wife sadly. Feeling his wife must be depressed by the current condition. Depressed by the threat Oma gave her.

"Mother can feel what you're feeling right now, baby."

They are now sitting in the living room. There were only three of them because Baskara's father was working.

"Baskara is also not directly present between the father of the same mother."

"Mother also every see friends of the mother who has not been married long but is pregnant sometimes feel jealous."

"Your mother often gets angry. He said that by looking at Farri the same Vindra make mother sad, mending does not need to be seen."

"But fortunately, Oma and Opa did not mind the mother at that time who was not yet pregnant despite being married for one year."

The twilight hurts more and more to hear it. If in the past the father who incidentally his son directly from Oma alone is not in question, why he and Baskara are only grandchildren should be in question.

If only Aldo had saved his wife. It helps Opa to control Oma so as not to urge Pricilla to have children.

Oma did the same to Pricilla. It's just always behind Pricilla and not given the opportunity to express it directly because Aldo is so protective of his wife.

Actually now even Oma did not urge Dusk directly. Just urging Baskara and presenting Grace made Dusk know about it.

"Because her older sister Grace had three children. Maybe that's why Oma didn't mind mother at the time."

Grace's mother was not only cared for, but was also made the first child by Oma and Opa Baskara.

And at that time, the children of Grace's mother were small and quite enliven the atmosphere of the house. So the focus is not directly on Pricilla.

"And now also the mother does not mind you are pregnant or not yet dear."

"Because you know it's not something we can control."

"Not food ready between which we can order at any time."

"Need process, effort and prayer. It also requires God's intervention in it."

Pricilla does not know if anyone else is concerned about it to make her daughter-in-law sad and thoughtful. Maybe it is also a little lose weight twilight although not how much.

"So all you need to do now is be happy with Babas."

"Enjoy your two years while still having plenty of time together."

"Before Dusk or Junior Bus comes and makes the quality of both of you reduced."

Dusk again grateful to have in-laws as good as his mother's best friend.
