When Passion Is Greater Than Lust
Mother's daughter-in-law

Hesti walked quickly towards Siti. Indeed, he felt annoyed if he had faced Salsa, the sister-in-law whose julid asked for forgiveness ,

" Why do you feel at home with salsa during this time ? " Hesti said with annoyance as she sat her butt near Siti. " Key kids don't eat education." Hesti glanced at his father-in-law's house to make sure that Salsa did not come out and approached suddenly.

" What happened to Salsa ? The boy is nice, polite again." Siti answered the potluck as her hand flicked the bamboo at the end of which had been in the center of the bag of crackles, so that the chicken did not come closer and ate the rice.

" How polite ? Look at how he treats me as if I were a child. Asles me mbak. I don't think he's happy to see me relaxing in his house. Emang actually said people that brother-in-law is death.hhh"

Siti smiled "Yes her name is also still a girl Hes. Maybe the soul of the protest is still big, be nothing even commented on.. "

Siti's wise speech made Hesti look at her fixedly. " I've often heard Mom's comments about Ma'am. And honestly, everything makes sprain and as if there is no good thing that can be remembered in the slightest, as long as mbak be his daughter-in-law. But if you gather like this again. I doubt all of your words . I feel like Mom has a personal vendetta. Not even trying to appreciate what you've done for this family "

Siti a little distracted by the story of Hesti . But he remained calm because he was used to hearing the same sentence from the neighbor's mouth.

" Yes maybe because Mbak just graduated SMA , so Mom is a little uncomfortable with it.."

" At first I thought that too ! But.." Histi stopped his words, He glanced left and right as if he did not want anyone else to hear him.

" Keel knows not . If Mother is also only SMP gradation ? "

Siti took a look at his face to make sure he didn't hear wrong.

" You know where it came from ? The time is ! "

Siti could not hide her surprised look , How could Mom hate him if he was also poorly educated, when compared to Nurdin.His father-in-law who is also a PNS, although now retired. The household that Siti lived in-laws was famous for Harmony and no difficulty regarding finances. Because Nurdin was a PNS in the local Regent's office. Mother of course is very proud and happy, especially to 4 children are Bachelor graduates . Only Dadang did not. Because according to the story of Mother when Dadang the Eldest Son graduated from High School, coincided with the family of Lia's great-grandson who was the sister of Emak experienced a major disaster, so that the funds were actually prepared for the education of Dadang at that time, the funds were actually prepared for the education of Dadang, redirected to help the distress faced by their close relatives.

Although a year later, Mother and Father intend to take Dadang to college. But Dadang already smitten with coffee plants given by the Father in his name. The results of a tempting garden make Dadang feel, if you can make money easily ! Why make it difficult for yourself by Learning from the beginning, although the goal will be the same, namely the provision to find something called Money. Siti had thought if the lazy Dadang could be because it was too tired of the activities that he had long wrestled with was to become a farmer. In the midst of Siti's thoughts wandering into the past, Hesti's voice recalls.

" Yes, really. I also just found out last night at the same Tari , her son Lia's sister's sister's mother. Regardless of the reason Mom hates you, I feel guilty, because every time I come here. Mom seemed to make Mbak feel smaller, with Mommy comparing Mbak to my title which is a PNS."

Siti smiled, it turns out that the nature of Nesti is not much different from the neighboring Salma Ma'am near her home. Ceplas-ceplos But still good.

" Whatever it is Hes. Our mother is still our in-law. Mother of our husbands. No matter how he treats us, we still have to respect."

" As long as Mother still cares about the children and recognizes them as grandchildren. Ma'am the relaxed Hes. If we all retaliate with the same crime, what difference do we make with them. There must be a reason, and over time God will show everything later."

" If the science is measured by Adab, I'm like a loser when juxtaposed with Mbak. Because honestly, I can act bar-bar when someone tries to hurt my pride, even if it's my own parents. Including in-laws."

Siti was touched by Hesti's speech. It turns out that God will always send a good person even if surrounded by a thousand bad people. She is grateful that her relationship with Hesti is now improving. Although in the end the daughter-in-law association is always a gap in error and eventually even become a place to worship in-laws.

***

It was late in the afternoon and even soon the Maghrib Adhan would be heard, with a quick step Siti took the children home. They came home late because Mother invited to eat together, trying new rice which was the harvest yesterday.

Arriving at Siti's house immediately closed the window and turned on the lights, the Maghrib Adhan finally sounded, coinciding with Dadang who had just arrived.

Siti stared at Dadang's empty hand, despite having refrained from asking but in fact, still her heart was impatient .

" Why not bring rice Bang ?"

" Tomorrow early in the morning Brother to Mother's house to ask for !"

" I told you Bang. Tomorrow even our rice does not exist . You will be the most lazy if you wake up early."

" Shame deck with Indra. It's as if we're asking Mom for the first part ."

" Oh So Brother is more important to be ashamed of Brother than the stomach of children. So ! Same with my own mother Bang. Why Shame."

" You are that . Always trying to show that your husband has no pride. You have no money savings. Just a week ago Salsa gave 400 thousand. Put the money on first. Don't undermine the husband constantly."

Siti shook her head in disbelief at her husband's words. Dadang may prefer to pressure himself rather than trying to borrow from his mother.

" The money is over. You should be ashamed Bang. The wife's money is asked.."

Dadang was about to answer, but he realized this was not the right time. He remembered the advice of his father. So Dadang tried to control his emotions and words by choosing silence. Dadang passed by indifferently, leaving Siti who still looked upset.
