"Both are not enemies. Respect and love your in-laws, as you honor your mother and father. Because after all those who have cared for and raised your husband first. The family is like a branch in a tree, we all grow in different directions, but our roots remain one."
That was one of the messages Sabrina's mother had delivered at the beginning of her marriage first. Yesterday she did not think too much about it, having never met her in-laws, but now that she was facing it head-on, the words seemed difficult for her to practice, because of the expressions of her husband's parents, she said, it really disappointed Sabrina.
There was no smile or greeting for him who had entered into his new family, various assumptions were lodged in Sabrina's brain, but he tried to stay calm and think positive.
" You're just kidding, aren't you, son?" Peter's father immediately walked up to his son who still looked cool.
" Where have I ever joked with papa and mama, let alone about the companion of life." Peter replied in a flat and expressionless tone, making his parents even more hesitant.
" Yes..but why so sudden, son?" Mom Peter couldn't believe everything that was happening.
" why? don't you like it when I get married? isn't that what Papa and Mama wanted from a long time ago?"
" Not dislike, we're grateful you finally want to get married too, but when did you get married? how could you not tell such a big thing to your parents?"
" Just not yet ma, we are married still in series, and the plan in the near future we will inaugurate, so indeed Peter waiting for papa and mama to come home first, you will be busy all."
" So you're still married siri huh?"
" Hmm... but we're legal in the eyes of religion ma, so we've lived together, haven't we?" Peter re-embraced his wife's shoulder, even leaving a keccvpan on his forehead with a smile.
" Where is this reward?"
Mama Peter looked agitated and turned repeatedly towards the door of his son's apartment.
" I don't know ma." Papa Peter immediately raised his shoulders, he looked confused as well.
" What the hell is it, ma, pa? what happend's? owh.. You haven't met my wife yet, have you? greetings first love papa and mama."
Peter rubbed his wife's hair so that Sabrina walked over to his parents to introduce herself.
Had....why do their faces seem to be unfriendly to me? do I look like a poor man? but my clothes have been branded this, make up is also elegant this way, what is wrong with me actually?
" Pa. ma, my name is Sabrina Larasati."
Sabrina gave her two in-laws alternately with slightly wet hands due to the nervousness that plagued her.
" Em.. There's actually someone who..." Papa Peter seemed hesitant to say what he wanted to talk about.
" Aa Peter's Assalamu'alaikum? how are you?"
Before papa Peter introduced the person they were waiting for, the figure of the beautiful, graceful and hijab woman came in and managed to make everyone there turn their heads towards him.
" Wa'alaikum greetings, Damia? that's you?" Peter was surprised to see it too.
" Well, long time no see?" She replied gently with a smile etched from her beautiful face.
Who's Damia? why everyone smiled at him, even Peter's eyes sparkled to see it, just watch out for you mas, briefly night I will not give rations.
" Eremm..." Sabrina immediately cleared her throat to resuscitate her husband in her daydream.
" Eh.. baby, would you introduce me, she's my cousin?" Peter looked directly at his wife.
Owh. tenyata is just his cousin.
" Hello Damia, I'm Sabrina, wife of Peter's mas." He just immediately explained his status, that the man beside him already had him.
" Wife? bang Peter's married?" Damia immediately frowned and both of her eyebrows.
" Yes deck, wah... it turns out you are very fast growing up, but we used to still often maen hide and seek, right?"
" And Aa always loses, hehe." His answer that looks familiar and managed to make Sabrina rotate both his eyeballs.
" Ahahaha, yes too, but you are more beautiful, let alone wear hijab, very suitable." Peter said as if praising him.
What is this Peter mas, cook another woman's muji in front of his wife? want cousin is also not good with her, huft.patient Na, calm down..
" When do you come home from overseas Mia?"
" Only until A, me and uncle also aunty came here at the same time."
" Then we continue to talk in yuk, you must be tired right? soon the food order has also come, we wait for a drink first huh?" Peter immediately invited them to move into the living room.
" Why didn't your wife cook, son?" Mama Peter only glanced at Sabrina at a glance.
Didn't you, plummeted my dignity in front of your parents, because I didn't tell you I from the beginning?
" No ma, it was I who told you earlier, because the two of us usually also work all right, who would eat at home." Peter immediately protected his wife's self-esteem.
" Although work, at least breakfast also does not have to be delivered right? it's a holiday, right, don't you cook too? it is not good to eat food from the outside, we do not know the cleanliness of the food, or healthy food ingredients from them, especially now the era of MSG, unhealthy son, do not get used to."
After me. not to mention he knew I came from the countryside, wasalam deh nasi lu Sabrina.
Sabrina could only look down, as if she had lost the spirit of her life that she had been cultivating all out.
" Well, can't Mia make you breakfast? Aa Peter still likes mommy's chicken porridge I don't? I've been taught any recipe, and have made it many times, it's guaranteed eleven twelve." Damia answered with a smile that continued to expand.
" Wah... already good at cooking now you are Mia? that's good, it could be a good wife, right?"
Yaelah.. can cook chicken porridge doang proud, can cook Gudeg Jogja not? bali chicken betutu? a rawon? or typical rendang Padang gitu, which is more challenging, if only rice boiled doang mah school children can also kale..
Sabrina was very eager to shout out like that, but now her guts live a grain of corn doang.
" I'm sorry.. Our chicken supplies are also exhausted, but if the rice is still a lot, only later it will be pureed, doang use chicken."
Already fallen, all you think Sabrina, her reputation as a daughter-in-law has been destroyed in their first meeting, so she can only resign to what it will be like.
" How the hell, cook has no food stock at all? so that big fridge one closet you left empty like that?" Mama Peter went straight to Sabrina.
" Sorry Ma, we haven't had time to shop." Sabrina replied with a face that looked resigned.
" Em.. It's ma, we have delivered food for breakfast kok, besides the food from the best restaurant in the area, it is certainly guaranteed taste and quality, so you do not have to worry okay."
Peter, who had seen the face of his wife, immediately mediated the words of his mother who seemed to corner Sabrina.
" I'll excuse you to go back, let me make you a drink." Sabrina could no longer stand in their midst.
" Can you make coffee? papa Peter likes coffee." Peter's mother commented.
" Can Ma, wait a minute, okay?" Sabrina replied politely.
" You know what's good for black coffee? another concoction will be another later loh taste."
" Mia knows aunty, what can Mia do?" Damia immediately started looking there.
Well, the face of aja sok alim, it is not enough doang have a face?
Sabrina was only able to sigh, without wanting to prevent it or boast of herself.
" Okay, Mia, then make green tea aunty?"
" Yeah, can you show me where the kitchen is?"
" Hm."
Although it was painful, Sabrina tried to be quiet, she remembered the words of Peter at the beginning of her marriage first, when she refused her homemade coffee, on the grounds that the coffee dose was right or not, he said, but Sabrina can only entertain herself, fortunately now Peter has changed drastically and always likes all what he makes and that is more than enough for him.
Finally Sabrina chose to waltz into the kitchen, followed by Damia who followed her from behind.
..."Umbrellas can't stop the rain, but they can make you stand in the rain. Confidence may not make you successful, but it can give you the strength to face the challenges of life."...
