chap 5's

Chapter 5

Early in the morning, Ms. Ismiyati was busy preparing food in the kitchen and also cleaning the house. The middle-aged woman no longer wished for Tiara.

For the past few days, Ms. Ismiyati who intervened herself took care of the house and also cooked for her son.

"I'll clean up first, huh!" muttered Bu Ismiyati while glancing towards her son's room which was still tightly closed.

Tiara and Dimas seemed to still enjoy a good night's sleep when Ms. Ismiyati was busy holding a broom and rice coils. The mother of Dimas rushed to clean the entire house until it was clean and neat. Not to forget he also cooked a lot of side dishes for Dimas after Bu Ismiyati shopping for kitchen needs at the complex stall.

All the housework was taken care of before Tiara woke up. There is no dishwasher. There is no laundry. The floor was clean and all the items were neatly arranged. Even the dining table is full of food for breakfast.

"What time is it, anyway? Why hasn't anyone woken up yet?" furious Bu Ismiyati while glancing towards the wall clock that has been pointed at 08.00 am.

For Ms. Ismiyati this has been delayed. "Udah was allowed to visit!" suluh Bu Ismiyati is annoyed.

However, the middle-aged woman simply chose to be quiet. Instead of waking up, Ms. Ismiyati prefers not to care. Ms. Ismiyati is already a fool on her daughter-in-law's actions. To him, Tiara was just a lazy son-in-law. Whatever Tiara does will not be able to change the view of Bu Ismiyati who is already disappointed in the difficult-to-educate son-in-law.

"Ah, bodo really want to wake up at what time!" Ms. Ismiyati also chose to relax for a moment and enjoy her own time.

Soon, the door to his son's room opened and Tiara and Dimas walked out. Both of them are deliberately waking up, because today is a holiday. Tiara wanted to enjoy her break.

Both of them immediately saw the state of the house that was clean and neat. Plus they also see food that is ready to be eaten at the dining table.

"Why don't you wake up in the afternoon?" sindir Bu Ismiyati on Tiara.

"Your son woke up and the house was clean, just sat down and ate!" keep the middle-aged woman.

Tiara who had just opened her eyes was certainly somewhat surprised to hear the words of the mother-in-law. The woman caught clearly the insinuation from Bu Ismiyati about her waking up when the sun was high.

"M-Sorry, Mom! Like a holiday, Tiara wants to rest" Tiara said in a soft voice.

"It's a holiday, Mom? Doesn't it matter to wake up every day?" added Dimas.

Ms. Ismiyati was silent and did not want to give a response. The atmosphere became awkward and uncomfortable.

Though today Tiara and Dimas intend to invite Bu Ismiyati to go on vacation to improve their relationship that had been tenuous. But just waking up they have been greeted with innuendo and uncomfortable atmosphere.

"You hunt get ready! Let me talk to you, Mother" Dimas whispered to Tiara.

"Mom, take a vacation, Mommy won't go to the same tourist attractions as us?" take Dimas to Miss Ismiyati.

Ms. Ismiyati who had put on a sullen look, began to melt as soon as she heard the invitation from the son. "Tourist place? Where's where?"

"There are many tourist attractions that are suitable for a picnic here, Mom. I want to, right? Mother must be bored also at home continues," said Dimas really intend to please the mother considering that Bu Ismiyati spent more time at home as long as the middle-aged woman moved to Tangerang.

Dimas nodded while throwing a big smile at Ms. Ismiyati. "Yes now, Mom. Mommy's ready, huh? We're leaving soon."

Ms. Ismiyati immediately prepared herself before leaving for a picnic. Not just changing clothes, Ms. Ismiyati was even busy preparing provisions to be taken on a tour with her son.

"Why mother?" reprimand Dimas at Bu Ismiyati who was busy preparing food and snacks to take away for a picnic.

"Mother again ready. I brought you a lot of food" Ismiyati said.

"Make what, Mom? We buy them on the road later. We can also snack at tourist attractions as well as nyicipin food there," said Dimas.

"What to do in a tourist spot? Usually the food is expensive, it is not good. Bring your own food. Better, healthier, and also more frugal too, right?" cetus Bu Ismiyati would not listen to Dimas.

"But meningan time is used to relax, ma'am. Why do you bother everything? Later tired first before leaving," said Dimas.

The man was just trying to pay attention to his mother. But unfortunately Ms. Ismiyati remained firm on her own stance, and did not want to listen to the advice of the son.

"You don't snack on food on the street! If later in the tourist attractions turns out no one sells how? You also have to be careful!" omel Bu Ismiyati does not want to lose.

From a distance, Tiara clearly saw her husband who was arguing with Ms. Ismiyati. The woman could only understand and ask her husband to give up.

"Udah, Mom! Let it be, " whispered Tiara to Dimas.

Tiara immediately approached Bu Ismiyati and helped her mother-in-law prepare provisions. "Tiara help you ma'am to finish faster?" bargain Tiara on Bu Ismiyati.

Finished preparing supplies, they immediately leave for the location of tourist destinations. Ms. Ismiyati looks very enthusiastic on the way to their picnic spot. It seems that it has been a long time since Ms. Ismiyati did not enjoy a relaxing time like this.

"It turns out there's a lot of good places here, huh?" mumbling Bu Ismiyati while looking at the places he passed during the trip.

"Yes, Mom. Sorry Dimas just had time to invite Mom out now," said Dimas. "Mother must be really bored at home and every day just waiting for Dimas same Tiara to come home from work?"

"No need to ask again you should know too, right? Mother does not have much activity here. You can't go to the fields either" said Ms. Ismiyati.

Dimas and Tiara were thrilled to be able to take the time to comfort the lonely Ms. Ismiyati. Moreover, over the past few days they have also continued to argue to make their relationship almost tenuous.

"Dimas will more often invite Mother to go out" said Dimas later.

Of course Miss Ismiyati welcomed him with joy. "Mother remembers your late father. Your late father rarely took a trip to the rich streets of Gini. Though I really want to go out once in a while with your father," said Bu Ismiyati reminiscing about the late husband.

"Mother still has Dimas with Tiara, right? The same Dimas Tiara will spare time more often for Mothers on holidays and invite Mother to many places," said Dimas.
