First Wife's Last Tears
The uterus is not fertile

Fauzi's motor arrives in front of his mother's house. His coming was welcomed by the Word.

"Where have you been, ma?"

"Hey, Fir. Go home too apparently.."

Fauzi immediately approached Firman who was standing on the terrace, smiling to welcome his arrival.

"Yes dong mas. Pokonya as much as possible once a month should be able to go home, gather with family."

"That's good. As busy as anything, we as children should be able to take the time to gather with parents." Fauzi put his arm around Firman's shoulder, and then they stepped in.

"Mama, how do you frown.. Mama is not healthy?" Fauzi grabbed Fatimah's hand to kiss her.

"Mama's health is decreasing, so is the age of the mother. But, you still can't give your mother a grandchild." Her chattering.

"Ma, don't talk like that. Lisna would be sad if she heard mama talk like that." Fauzi said in a soft voice while hugging her mother from behind and putting her chin on her mother's shoulder.

"So mama's talking facts, Zi. It's been seven years that you've been patient waiting to take a grandchild away from your first child. But not yet so far.." Rutuknya.

Fauzi just smiled in response to the babble of his mother. Kissed her mother's right cheek, then she switched to playing with her beloved twins.

"Helo helo, who wants a present?"

"Mikes.. Mike.."

"Mika is also.. Mika wants a present, too.."

The twins were thrown into Fauzi's arms.

"Well, kiss the prize first."

Mike and Mika kissed Fauzi's cheek. The sight made the Word smile. Meanwhile, Fatimah had already stepped towards the kitchen.

"You're here apparently!"

Upon arriving at the kitchen Fatimah saw her two daughters-in-law standing face to face, staring at each other in silence. His arrival made them instantly divert the atmosphere.

"Mas Fauzi is home, ma?" Lisna asked who started putting the dishes on the dining table.

"It has. So prepare the food quickly. We eat first, mama's already so hungry."

Fatimah helped Yuni compose the food on the dining table. He even seemed to care deeply for Yuni, like helping Yuni carry a basin filled with rice.

"Yuni can do it, ma."

"You're pregnant young, don't carry heavy things."

"Not what, ma. My uterus is healthy and strong. So the doctor said I could do the job as usual."

"Whatever the doctor says, mom still won't let you lift a heavy object."

Yuni smiled happily to get the attention of her mother-in-law. While Lisna, part of the plate and also the food that her mother-in-law put on the table.

"Lis, call them to eat, gih."

"Yes, ma."

Lisna finished her work and went straight to the living room calling her husband, her brother-in-law and her uncle for dinner.

"Mas, dinner's ready." Call Lisna soft as usual.

Fauzi who was playing with the twins did not hear Lisna's call.

"Are you ready for dinner, ma'am?" Sahut Firman replaced Fauzi to answer Lisna's call.

"Yes. Let's have dinner first."

But Lisna's step instead passed through the Word to call her husband. While Firman also approached the twins.

"Mas, dinner's ready." Holding Fauzi's back to tell her.

And sure enough Fauzi looked over. "Darling! Why?"

"Eat night." Lisna was soft as usual.

"Mike, Mika, let's eat yok." Take the Word to his children.

"Relock.."

They also stepped into the kitchen. While Fauzi just started to stand up and look at Lisna's face with a compassionate look.

"What's up, ma'am? Is there a problem?" Search Lisna with heart.

"Mmm. baby, there's still money.."

"Still fifty thousand mas. Make the cost of work two days ahead." Lisna replied in a whisper. "How much money do you need?"

"One hundred thousand. The debt is the same as Rino. Promise to pay after dinner."

Fauzi sighed in disappointment at not being able to keep his promise to pay his debt. But he also could not blame Lisna, because indeed almost all of Lisna's salary every month, he spent.

"Why, mas?"

It was the voice of the Word who came back to the front to invite them to dinner soon. And Firman overhears Fauzi asking Lisna for money.

"What is Fir. Household affairs." Kill Fauzi. Lisna was silent.

"Mas need money?" Ask Firman while reaching into the wallet in his pants pocket. He also issued two red notes.

"Take mas. I hope enough."

"No need to pay for it later.." Fauzi sok-an refused the money given by his sister because of prestige.

"Take it, mas. There are no debts."

Fauzi nodded shyly taking the money in the hands of the Word

"Thank you, Fir."

Firman just smiled and unintentionally glanced at Lisna just before Lisna stepped first towards the kitchen.

The eating atmosphere was quiet. Not even the twins had as much chatter as before. They just enjoy the food that is served with greed. They were exhausted and began to sleep.

"O yes, Zi. You guys went to the clinic yesterday?"

Fatimah started to open the conversation. Her question made Lisna stop the event of chewing the food in her mouth.

"So, mom. Lisna hasn't told you?" Fauzi asked as she glanced at Lisna who was sitting next to him. And Lisna just smiled faintly.

"Yet. That's why mama asked. If Lisna's been telling me why I asked again."

Why did mom lie? Did mama deliberately insinuate me again in front of Yuni and the Word..

"Mother Lisna's pregnant? Oh my gosh, congratulations, ma'am.."

It was Yuni's voice who followed behind insinuating Lisna. Though Yuni knows Lisna is not pregnant. It was only a few minutes ago that she herself licked Lisna's womb infertile.

"Truth, mbak?" Ask Firman to smile happily.

Lisna just kept quiet. While Fauzi stroked his wife's back slowly so as not to feel discouraged.

"Kok you shut up, Lis? Tell me the answer dong. You're pregnant, aren't you yet.."

"Mama.."

"Still not yet, ma." Lisna replied stopping her husband from arguing with her mother.

"Oh my goodness, still not? Why go to the clinic?"

"Just to check my uterus, Yun."

Yuni nodded with a slight grin on her lips. The Word saw that clearly. But, he could not get angry or advise his wife, because it would further aggravate the situation.

"Keep the doctor said what. Is your uterus healthy?"

"Ma, we can't talk about this later. This is eating again." Fauzi Protest.

"What if you still eat. This discussion is not dirty at all. Mama's just curious."

Lisna patted Fauzi's thigh gently, giving the code for her husband to stop arguing with his mother.

"The results of the examination are quite problematic, ma. My uterus is less fertile, so the doctor said it's probably hard to get offspring."

Lisna's answer made Yuni happy. Yes, she was happy in her heart, because her husband showed a sad face knowing Lisna was a woman with an infertile uterus.

"Huuhh. means you have to add patient stock."

Fatimah ate it. He helped his two grandchildren who had finished eating to get off the chair.

"Word is smart in work and smart in choosing a wife. Not like you. Choose a wife who is not fertile model like this." He nodded as he stepped towards the middle room.

Fauzi fell silent, as did Lisna.

"Patience to you, mas. Believe me, if God has made up his mind, it is easy for him to give you children." Firman spoke to encourage Fauzi and Lisna who had just been reduced by her mother.

"Yes. Thanks Fir. But what Mom said was true. I am, indeed, stupid in every way."

Fauzi left the dinner table after saying a sentence that seemed as if he admitted that he was also stupid in choosing a wife.

You are so sorry Lisna. Finally mas Fauzi realized that you are a disabled woman aka barren. Oceh Yuni in his heart.
