My cousin Maduku
Chapter 7 Dropping My Mad Mother's Mental

At half-time 12 pm I reached the clinic where Mama was treated.

"Have you got here so soon, Ris? who is this guy? where's husband? why go home not the same husband but the same other man. What kind of wife are you? your mother's pain could be worse see your behavior like this?." Bi Narti's cerocos as soon as I get in front of Mama's care. He didn't even bother to hate me. The hand I was about to shake was pulled back.

"I deliberately rushed here because I didn't want to trouble Bi Narti for too long. Don't you have a life of your own! Even though it used to be you who always troublesome Mama very long! Yes, even then, Mama also had a life of her own!. This man is a travel driver and my friend's cousin. Why did I go home alone and not with Mas Danang. Because Mas Danang is busy with his affair! with a cheap woman! I'd rather go home alone than disrupt their relationship. Not because of fear, no. But because I don't want to beg for love in a man who already has no self-esteem. Because I think the cheating man is just a cheap man and has no self-esteem, and so does his partner. Both cheap and trash!. Oops, sorry I slipped. So confide in Auntie," Bi Narti's face suddenly turned pale at the instant of my speech. In my heart I smiled successfully stirring up her feelings.

"Eh Bi how are you Siska? still feeling alone? when is the plan to get married? Advise Bi. Don't be too picky, afraid even when men are not qualified uh, but women as beautiful as Siska are very easy to find a partner. And most women like Siska gospel can even be rich even if they become mistresses or second wives, you better tell Siska. Being a second wife is not good at all. Everywhere only stamped as an actor, will never get any property if caught with his legal wife. I hope aunty can warn her daughter not to be a second wife. Don't be a cheap woman who'll ruin people's households."

My voice was slow but full of emphasis in a few sentences.

"You don't digress by the way, Ris! Siska is a good woman. There's no way she's like that." Bi Narti threw his face in any direction.

"Hopefully so, yes. Bi. But it's true. If she's a second wife, she'll never get anything but a castor."

Bi Narti back in pias.

"Aunty face why is it pale? Aunt sick? auntie's tired of coming home because I'm here. Thank you for being prepared. I promise next time I'll never trouble B Narti again. Even though you always bothered us."

Immediately I pulled the Septua's hand to go into Mama's nursery. I don't care about the woman who gave birth to my honey anymore.

"I'm sure she was mentally down!" said Septia as we walked side by side.

I smiled obliquely, this is not how you will see in the future.

***

I have been at Mama's house for 2 weeks. But I don't intend to leave this childhood home. Mom had been home from the hospital a long time. His condition began to improve even though he was not really healthy as before. And I refused to leave him. Not without reason, I linger here. The betrayal of Mas Danang reluctant to make me return home, even Mas Danang has contacted me many times to immediately go home.

"Son, Mama's improved. You better just go home! Not that Mama kicked you out, was she. Mama is happy to wait for you. But now you're no longer Riska Mama's daughter. You're married, son, already a wife. Really Mama ndak papa you stay home, son." My mother kept persuading me.

My eyes are straight ahead. Although the hands continued to water the ornamental plants I had grown since before marriage.

"Lucky you get a good husband like Nak Danang. And in-laws as good as Ms. Zainab. So Mama hopes you can be a good wife for Nak Danang. Go home! currently, Danang is not home. At least obey his orders. Hasn't he asked you to come home often? the best wife is the one who obeys and obeys her husband!." Mama gently advised me.

I'm silent. Don't know what to say anymore. The image of Mas Danang as a good son-in-law is firmly attached to the mind of Mama. It all happened because I never complained or told her what really happened to Mama. I managed to cover up Mas Danang's ugliness. And all this time Mas Danang also showed a good attitude every time he met Mama.

Indeed, Mas Danang rarely visited Mama here, but Mas Danang often asked Mama's news and always showed all attitudes of attention to her in-laws. If I never knew the betrayal and lies of Mas Danang, maybe I would also be the same as Mama's assumption that Mas Danang is a good man.

"Suami is a dress for his wife and vice versa. So as much as possible you have to close the meeting all the shortcomings of his partner. Never tell anything including your own parents! only you two know!." That advice that I always remember, makes me never tell the ugliness of Mas Danang. Including a birth living that is rarely loved.

"Don't make Nak Danang an unappreciated husband." Mama continued her advice.

'Mama, can you tell me to go home if you know how Mas Danang is doing right now. She's remarried without Riska's knowledge, Mah. Not the woman who became his second wife is the nephew of Mama's own. Will Mama keep asking me to obey Mas Danang?.' I want to say so and be honest, but it feels unable if mama drops back. Afraid Mama was surprised to hear it and became a burden on her mind.

If I didn't remember the doctor's advice, I might have told Mama everything. But the doctor said and warned that Mama should not think of heavy things, fearing he dropped.

"Riska, are you listening to me?."

I who was watering the plants and turned my back to Mama was just a cuddle on my single person. Confused what to answer.
