Pursuing My Husband's First Love
My Graceful Mother-in-law

Moses was truly my ideal husband, perfect priest, and joyful companion. Only one secret still holds up, Mariam.

I did not even dare to ask that directly to Mas Musa, I did not want to ruin my beautiful marriage atmosphere, after all it seemed that Mas Musa was not in full consciousness when calling Mariam, she said, let this jealousy explode in my stomach.

"Mas, I have prepared bread for breakfast" I told Mas Musa, who was preparing to leave for college.

"Thank you, Deck, sorry for the trouble."

"I'm sorry, because yesterday's breakfast fried rice Mas instead became a stomachache, sorry Mas I have not memorized the tastes and eating habits of Mas Musa."

"Nothing Deck, just slowly we get to know each other." Mas Musa hugged and slightly kissed the top of my head, a sweet and romantic treatment that made me melt every time.

Now Mas Musa's schedule is very crowded, Mas Musa taught on several campuses even out of town. Mas Musa was very hardworking and good luck that became the desire of every woman, still plus his high, sturdy, and handsome face, I was very lucky.

I used my spare time to find out Mariam's figure, I looked up her name from some social accounts, I looked one by one for Mas Musa's schoolmates, I searched through all possibilities, hoping to find a bright spot of Mariam's identity.

This weekend my mother-in-law came to visit, Mas Musa's mother was gentle and kind, but it felt a bit awkward when I had to talk to her, from the way he speaks shows the degree of knowledge that is not arbitrary. But I must try to make him not regret making me his son-in-law.

"Yes Alloh .. spare me to be the wife of Moses Hamizan, everything about him always makes me have to try more and more," my prayer is always in my heart.

"Sir, is there a market here?"

"So Mom, are you going to the market? Mom wants what? Let Medina find."

"No need, just go together, I want to know the environment here too, far what not, Nduk?"

"Deket Ma'am, 5 minutes on the bike."

"If it's a walk, look around the area."

"Yes Ma'am, Medina take care of this for a minute, ma'am."

I rushed to clean up the breakfast table, Mas Musa happened to be staying outside the city, maybe today home, because last night I had reported the arrival of his mother.

"Come, Mom!" take me to him when it's all over.

My mother-in-law is very beautiful, even though she is no longer young, her dress is purple and her hijab is long. We walked barefoot because of his request, maybe this is the secret of my mother-in-law's youth.

"The environment is good, Nduk, do you know the neighbors here?"

"Newly some ma'am, new right-left neighbors, people here out of the house if there is a button just so enter the fence again."

"Sabar Nduk, may spit-cepet be given momongan so you are not lonely if Mizan out of town."

"Aamiin, pray for Medina, Ma'am" I said, smiling with embarrassment at her prayer.

'Snap Ya Alloh!' my inner.

Without feeling we have reached the market, before going my mother-in-law said just want to look around, do not want to buy goods because we walk must be difficult to bring it. It turned out that my mother-in-law was smitten with various kinds of items from plates, cups, cups, and some fruits. I'm tired of taking him.

"It's okay, Nduk, let's just slowly arrive later, too," my mother-in-law said as I forced her to bring all our groceries, it's not good to let him carry these things.

"Just rest Mom, the sun's already getting hot as Mom."

"No papa Nduk, let's go again!" my mother-in-law answered with breaths that began to pant.

"Look, Mom, wait a minute here for Medina to run home to take a motorbike," I suggested seeing my mother-in-law who was tired, there happened to be a shophouse that had not opened and my mother-in-law took shelter in front of her.

"No papa ma'am, wait for Medina ya don't go anywhere before Medina comes."

I walked quickly and half-running, hoping to get home soon and not wanting to keep my mother-in-law waiting long. I immediately opened the gate and was about to take out my motorcycle, I happened to have brought the key before.

I just had time to close the gate, suddenly a motorcycle stopped in front of my house, and sure enough, my mother-in-law went down while saying thank you. I immediately approached her and helped the woman who drove my mother-in-law down my mother-in-law's groceries from her front motorbike.

"Thank you, Ma'am!" say him.

"Sama-sama, I was just writhing Mother overheated so I offered a ride."

"Thank you, Ma'am!" said my mother-in-law again.

"Sama-sama Ma'am, kirain far away turned out to be deket, just moved huh? I just saw it" asked the boy.

"My son-in-law just moved here" my mother-in-law explained.

"Oh so, I hope you feel at home, if I block the front, messing around with my house, Mom," said the madam kindly.

"Yes, this is my daughter-in-law Medina who will stay here if I just play, Mba." My mother-in-law introduced me, as I experienced it.

"Include me Medina, Ma'am."

"Call Mama Okta, if you already have a child, your real name likes not doing well here, know Mama Okta my son's name" he replied, replying to my hand.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry when we talked again."

"When you come by here, Ma'am!" my mother-in-law said stale.

"Yes ma'am, I'm saying goodbye, Assalamualaikum!"

Mama Okta left, I'm grateful that my mother-in-law is okay.

"Thank you meet the good man Nduk, you will be friends with him."

"Yes ma'am, let's go in. Mother must be hot and thirsty."

I immediately went to the kitchen to make iced tea for the two of us, to be honest I was also very thirsty so the shadow of a sip of iced tea must have been able to dampen my thirst and also my mother-in-law. Soon after so I brought it to my mother-in-law.

"White water only you know Nduk, Mother if you drink ice at night coughs."

"Oh, yes, ma'am!" I immediately went back to the kitchen and brought him a glass of water, thirst really made me not think clearly.

Not long after the sound of Mas Musa's car, I immediately ran forward to greet and open the gate for him. From behind the glass of the car he threw a sweet smile at me, if Mas Musa knew left 3 days I had missed so much. Musa got out of his car and I greeted him with a word.

"Assalamualaikum Dek, mas immediately permission to go home to other lecturer friends once you know Mom comes, sorry yes Dek, you must bother Mom to come without telling you first."

"No papa Mas, Medina even seneng so that it can deket same mother."

"Mizan ... Yes Allaah Miss!" My mother-in-law immediately hugged Mas Muza, Mizan is indeed her affectionate call to my husband.

I left them to let go of the miss, I went to the kitchen and prepared a cup of tea for my husband. When I came my mother-in-law was fiery telling Mas Musa the incident, while mentioning the 'Good Mothers' who helped her. Hearing the intimacy of the two of them I went to the kitchen to cook, and let Mas Musa and Mother miss each other.

"Not finished Mariam, uh now good Mother," I said sadly to myself.
