The Father Boy
ALA54S. Gumptuous
"Thank you for the advice, Dad." Ceysa hugged her father.
"Sorry, Dad. Hadi can't be the daughter-in-law that I expected, Hadi promised to fix everything." Hadi hugged his wife who hugged Givan.
"Yes, who got along, who got blessed, who was happy. Anything together, remember the struggle. Whatever it is, remember the struggle. Are you at this point, sure you want to start from zero again? Better to continue, continue your struggle." Givan rubbed the young man's back.
"Yes, Dad." They can't hold back their sense of worth.
Izza peeked out from behind the window. She saw the scene, but she looked more for where her husband was. She wanted to take her husband to eat, because he already felt his stomach hot.
But it was past twelve. Chandra never woke up and understood that his wife was starving. Izza of course hesitated to enter the house of his in-laws without a invitation, let alone to ask for a plate of food. Unfortunately, what Izza was waiting for did not come.
He wanted to order food online, but he thought that he had to count all heads. Meanwhile, the money he currently had was only how many tens. The cash he had was used up for his late mother's tahlil fee, despite receiving help from Chandra.
She went back to her room, broke down her body and waited for her husband's arrival. Because it was useless to contact her husband, because her husband's cell phone was lying next to her.
Chandra's sensibility, far from what Izza thought. After waking up, he forgot his wife. He immediately washed his face and walked towards his parents' kitchen, to find his stomach filler food. He ate voraciously, until his mother's greeting made him remember if he was married.
"You eat by yourself? Where's your wife going?" Canda took the plate for himself.
"Oh, my goodness." Unfortunately Chandra has already finished his last bribe.
"Hallo.." Canda did not pay attention to his son who was in a hurry to chew and wash dishes.
"Where is it? Eat yet, Mas? His name wants to be diademin first no?" Canda's been focusing on his phone calls.
"Eat first look around the house, I'm on the porch. Ademin, I'll be in." Hearing her husband's answer, Canda focused on watching her son rush out of the kitchen.
"Where are you, Bang?" ask the kid.
"But, Biyung," Chandra replied with a step.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chandra remembered his wife had a stomach illness. He hoped his wife had eaten, but seeing the state of his living room it seemed that his wife had not eaten at all.
"Za.." Chandra went into his room.
He saw his wife hugging his own stomach and falling asleep. Chandra is sure his wife hasn't eaten.
"Za.. Wake up." Chandra wiggled his wife's arm.
"Eat first, Za," he asked later.
Izza immediately opened his eyes, he felt his stomach instantly cramp. Chandra realizes his wife's ringing, he immediately touches the part of his wife's stomach touched by Izza himself.
"Za, just eat. There to biyung, realized at home there is nothing. You're sick like this." Obviously, Chandra's words were not pleasing to Izza's heart.
"I'm waiting for you Brother." Izza held back her disappointment, because her husband's response was like that. Izza wanted Chandra to realize his mistake, he was like this because he was waiting for his arrival.
"When I work, do I wait to get home from work?" Chandra helps his wife to get up.
Back, Izza just harbored. He was lazy to argue and made a fuss, with him saying he was hesitant to ask his in-laws for food.
"Don't cry." Chandra immediately hugged his wife, he could not bear to see Izza was already covered in tears.
"Where is the stomach acid cure? Let's just keep us going to the mansion." Chandra's looking for something on the nightstand next to the bed.
"Repot, Deck. Shame to go back and forth with the plate." Hearing Chandra's response, Izza wanted to catapult how this morning she bothered herself.
Inevitably, Izza followed the pull of her husband. She wanted to look obedient to her husband, even though she was sure she would be ashamed.
"Well, yeah. Why did you eat first?" Canda commented, as Izza and Canda walked into the kitchen area of his house.
Izza was quite surprised, when he found out Chandra had eaten first. Obviously, it made his mood even more chaotic and his stomach acid became more and more. N**** his meal suddenly disappeared, nausea immediately spread to his throat.
"Hoekkkk.." Izza ran towards the bathroom.
Givan and Chandra are stunned, seeing Izza vomit while they are eating together.
"Eat it, laper's eating. I have to wait to get sick first." Chandra was annoyed, he immediately rushed after his wife.
"Why else would that be?" Givan watched the back of his son who passed away.
"So, I ate Chandra alone." Canda followed her husband's point of view.
"So, he took a nap here. Why not stay at his house with his wife? Is his wife's period again?" Givan wondered by looking at his wife who had returned to eating.
"Why then? Storm on our cake first." Canda continued his eating session.
"We continue to menggamer early, the streets continue. The way he ran to Mamah, I pulled him again." Givan remembers their memories from a long time ago.
"I'm afraid of the same thing." Hearing his wife's answer, Givan laughed.
"Shy huh?" Givan remembers the face of his wife who met red often, when he approached.
"Well," answered Canda quickly by lifting the wings of the chicken that was still intact. Then she ate the chicken wings without shame in front of her husband.
Their homes are no longer as ashamed as they once were. And obviously, they have a lot of kids.
"Why are you, Dek?" givan asked, when his son-in-law returned with his son.
"Relapse of maghnya, Dad. Really, I have played here often too. Hungry to stay here, just have to wait for me." Chandra makes Izza even more embarrassed.
"You're not a guest, Za. Go in, get some food. You're a part of this family, you're no one else." Canda looked at her daughter-in-law sitting pensively with an empty setting.
"Now, I'm a bribe." Chandra feeds his wife slowly.
Izza passed her tears, when a mouthful of food had entered her mouth. He felt very nauseous, coupled with his bitter mouth.
"Are you okay, Dek?" Givan was worried about his pale-looking son-in-law.
Izza shook his head, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the dining chair. He did not understand, why it felt so uncomfortable to be beside his puja and in the middle of his parents.
He felt himself as if he was not considered, because their attention was not as it used to be when he was a prospective son-in-law and he was a guest here. He began to think, whether a son-in-law should bother at his home-in-law like washing dishes.
"Call bang Ken, Canda. He's not all right with his cake." Givan panicked at Izza who kept those eyes closed.
