My husband's cell phone rang which means there was a call coming in. I saw it and it turned out from my mother-in-law who was in the village.
[Mas, there was a call from Mom] I shouted at my husband who was in the shower at the time.
[Please lift it up, baby] My husband replied while shouting as well.
With a quick movement I raised the call from my Mother-in-law while sitting casually on the sofa.
[Hello, ma'am] greet me to my mother-in-law.
[Mas Ibra's taking a bath, what's wrong, ma'am? Can you say the same with Sulis?] I went back to my mother across the street.
[.........]
[Well, Sulis will tell Mas Ibra] I will reply to Mom's words.
Tut's.
The connection was cut off, then I kept it and waited for Mas Ibra to finish cleaning her body.
[What's the matter with Mom, it's not usually that she's gentle and ordinary to me] muttered her by propping up her chin.
[Ah thank God it's possible that Mom could have accepted me as her daughter-in-law] she muttered back with a fluffy smile.
Chequek.
The bathroom door opened and appeared Mas Ibra using a towel that was only limited to his sensitive area.
[Mas, said your mother to call back. I have asked him but he still does not want to tell me anything] I said by getting up from sitting.
[Yaudah please call back, baby. Let Mas who will speak] reply Mas Ibra.
I nodded and pressed my mother-in-law's mobile number. And not long after the call was directly connected.
[Hallo Ma'am, ad what? Said Sulis I want to talk important to Ibra?] ask Ibra to her mother.
[........]
[Well, I'll negotiate with my wife first, yes, I will tell Mom again] Ibra replied by giving her phone to Sulis.
Sulis accepted her and put her back on her makeup desk.
[What's wrong with Mom, Mom?] ask me curiously.
[He told us to go home and stay there with him, he said he was lonely] Ibra replied.
[I'm up to you, but what kind of job?] ask Sulis.
[There will be my Assistant who takes care of it, later I can also go home if there is an urgent] replied Mas Ibra.
[Then, I obey you, Mas] said Sulis softly.
Mas Ibra nodded as she hugged me warmly, I thought maybe this was also a chance for me to approach the in-laws.

1 week later Mas Ibra and I went to the village on Mas Ibra's motorcycle. There aren't many clothes that my husband and I bring because there won't be enough places on the bike.
Until after traveling for 4 hours we arrived in Bandung, the hometown of Mas Ibra.
In front of the door, my mother-in-law was waiting with a slightly pale face like pain.
[Assalamualaikum, ma'am] I say hello to Mas Ibra.
[Waalaikumsalam, let's go in] Mom replied with a smile.
We nodded and went inside, I kept my belongings and Mas Ibra in the room that belonged to my Husband since I was a teenager.
[Mother, is Mom sick?] ask me carefully.
[No son, Mother is just a little tired of the housework] replied the Wini mother, my in-law.
I just sighed, then I decided to go to the kitchen to make drinks for Mas Ibra and Mom.
[Not Qia living here, but why does he not look] murmured Sulis while carrying a warm tea that is delicious in the afternoon weather.
Sulis sat down again with Mom and Ibra, she placed a plate of cake and warm drinks for them to enjoy.
Until before the magrib we continued to exchange stories and let go of longing together with Ibu Wini.

Suddenly the sound of the motor stopped in front of my mother-in-law's house.
[Buuuu] cried Desi, Mas Ibra's brother.
[Have you guys come? Must have been told to come Mother, pity also in the city is also just a scavenger] said Missi with a waltz into the kitchen.
I can only wipe the chest, if there is no Mother I have silenced the spicy mouth Desi Mbak.
[Then what are you here for?] ask Mom to raise her eyebrows.
Desi did not answer, he only showed raw materials to make bakwan only.
[He is rich, but just make bakwan ask for Mother] Mas Ibra chirped casually.
[What, anyway you guys also hitchhiked here] Miss Desi replied as she waltzed away.
Mas Ibra and I just shook their heads, somehow the mind of Desi who always had a spicy mouth on us both.
[Mom, where's Qia?] I asked who had not seen Mas Ibra's sister since.
Mother sighed harshly, she then looked ahead with a straight look.
[What's up, Mom?] ask Mas Ibra.
[Qia's gone with the man of her choice, Mom's already banned him because he doesn't look good. But Qia was still and yesterday they got married secretly and ran away from here] Mother obviously shed her tears.
Deg.
[Oh my God, Qia] growled Mas Ibra who was seen clenching his hands.
[Mother don't mind much, let's hope Qia and her Husband are happy. Come on now I just sleep and rest] Sulis said softly.
Mother nodded, then she got up from her sitting and stepped into her room along with Sulis.
Sulis gently enveloped Mother's body, after which she left there while turning off the main light in the room of the in-law.
[Mas, let's take a break] take me in with a smile.
[Come, I'm also tired] reply Mas Ibra softly.
We both went into the room, before which I had closed and locked the windows and doors of Mother's House.
In the room, we talked for a while before the end of his sleep tired after the trip.

In the morning, the weather in Bandung is very uncertain. Since dawn it has been raining and now it looks bright but sometimes cloudy.
Sulis has been cleaning the house since, but he has not cooked because I want to eat porridge in front of the alley.
[Sulis, let's eat some porridge] I shouted from behind.
[Yes Mom for a moment] reply me with a quick movement to store a water hose that is often used to water plants or bathe the motor.
Seen in the kitchen is available porridge with various toppings, Mother also prepared 3 bowls of chicken porridge.
Mas Ibra, Mom and I sat down, and we ate the porridge in silence.
