Not the First
Back To The Field


Wibie just got off the plane she was on. Stepping slowly towards the exit approach the travel that will take him to the city of his wife's birth.


The HP that was in his pouch suddenly shook, long enough and finally stopped.


Always love U n Miss U. Fii be a Beib


One message Rey sent was received by Wibie.


The man who was carrying a backpack complete with black glasses and navy hat smiled faintly.


[Not even two hours, Neng. I miss the kangeen ]


Message sent.


Not long after, the message came in. Still from his wife


[Be careful, love you so much ] complete with love-love emoticons.


Wibie also replied that the message was no less than the spread of emoticons and love-love stickers.


Inwardly he laughed to himself at this slightly ridiculous manner of his. Maybe because marrying a child who just graduated from High School makes it a little alay and ala-a la bucin.


Today, Wibie returned to Sumatra. Her holidays and marriage leave are over. From tomorrow he will return to the field, struggling to dig the bowels of the earth for a bite of rice.


He had to work harder, now the number of dependents has increased. Not to mention the Rey family who never broke up with all the needs and asked for help from him.


Everything is his responsibility. Once he is ready to marry Rey, he must be ready for all the behavior of his extended family.

Travelling with Wibie stops right in front of Rey's house. Before going to the mess, Wibie decided to deliver the custody of her mother-in-law so that she did not pacing again.


Her mother-in-law asked to buy a negligee of the latest models on Rey and asked to be entrusted to Wibie if returning to Lahat.


Bada Azhar, there's still a mother customer coming. Seeing the arrival of Wibie, the mother who was waiting on the terrace shouted at Ms. Laura with a fairly loud voice.


"Mom, the ex-boy's coming over here,"


Wibie who stepped towards the house was quite confused to find the situation.


"Do you know that I'm Rey's husband?" ask Wibie in your heart.


Ms. Laura came out of the laundry room with a plastic tent in her hand. He handed the parcel to a neighbor who was waiting for him on the porch to take his laundry.


"Assalamualaikum," Wibie greeted the two women who welcomed his arrival.


"Waalaikum salam" said the two almost simultaneously.


"What time is the plane, when is this hour?" ask the mother in a firm voice. He wanted his neighbor to know that his son-in-law had come on a plane


"Aircraft 3 o'clock Ma'am. Coincidentally, the direct travel road so it can be more flat until,"


"Well, it's good to go back and forth on a plane, don't you pay the price?" His neighbor was amazed.


"Yes Mom. Not every day, ma'am" said Wibie kindly.


"But still not enough 2 million one way" said Bu Laura.


Wibie just grinned the horse to hear his in-laws' words. His neighbor immediately said goodbye because he felt that Laura Ma had started to be arrogant.


"I want to take Rey's care, Mom," Wibie said when the neighbor had left the two of them.


"Oh, if you don't have a peek at something, you don't visit us here?"


"God willing comes, Mom. We've become a family,"


"Oh, yeah. Where's dad lonely?" asked Wibie who had not seen her father-in-law since.


When looking at the living room, Wibie immediately captured a large wedding photo displayed near the middle room door.


"Oh, the pantes of my mother knew me immediately," Wibie muttered inwardly.


"There's in the back, again feed the chicken,"


"Oh, daddy's pet chicken now? ask Wibie.


"Yes, just a week ago" said the mother.


"Dad...," cried the mother in a deafening voice.


Before long Doni came with his duck motorbike, he carried one plastic bag of laundry that had just been taken from the big mess.


He approached Wibie and kissed her brother's hand.


"That's fine, abis take the laundry huh?" ask Wibie


"Yes, Mas. His room was still closed" Doni asked back.


"It's just come, straight here,"


"Oh, pantesan,"


"The motor has only one. If you want to go anywhere, you have to change. There was still a lot of laundry to be delivered but the bike was brought by Doni," Mom started complaining to Wibie.


"Laudry the last one Doni sent Mom. There is more" asked Doni to his mother.


"So mom said tingal sent to the same big mess on RT 9. You've been brought in, ma'am. Here Doni anterin you guys," Doni was a little upset with mom because there was still laundry to send but didn't say before.


"It's dark. Want rain. Let the anter mother. You just go in, "quickly mother told her son to come inside so he wouldn't say much.


"The motor is not entered," said the mother again.


Now Doni stepped inside. Before long Dad appeared from the side of the house with steps that were still slow. Supported with a shoulder stick given Wibie


Seeing the appearance of Father, Wibie immediately approached the man and greeted him.


"How are you, Dad? Looks like Dad looks healthier,"


"Alhamdulillah, Son. Since being able to walk even though I am trained, I always look for busyness. Tuh, I kept a chicken so it wouldn't be too bad,"


Wibie smile. It is true, his wife's father looks healthier and fitter than before.


"Mommy wants laundry anther first, rain hunt," said Mother while carrying a plastic bag containing neat clothes.


"There's Wibie left, ma'am. Didn't laundry today have been delivered with Doni?" said Father.


"Some one missed. Who's got been calling right now. Here's how it is if you only have one motor. Repot," mother complained.


Dad just shut up. And Wibie as well. The two of them only saw the mother who turned on her motorbike and left the two of them.


"Let's go inside," Dad asked his daughter.


"Do not need to be swept, precisely Dad should be able to walk alone even slowly," elak Dad when Wibie's hand was outstretched toward him and wanted to memapah Dad.

Mom drove her motorcycle slowly, she was confused about where to go. Because he had lied, inevitably he had to pretend to deliver laundry so that his drama in front of Wibie could attract sympathy.


The clothes he brought were actually owned by mess employees but the person concerned was not at his house because it was off. If he intervenes now that means it would be useless, not to mention the guards


security will recognize why the item is not delivered.


"Thinking to whom, wrong - even he who has to compensate if this item is damaged," thought the mother.


He stopped the bike for a moment at the crossroad before knowing which way to turn. If mom comes back still carrying this stuff, the person in her house must be suspicious.


"Ah..," exclaimed the confused mother herself.


"Hopefully this plan of yours invites Wibie's sympathy. He's gonna buy me a new bike,"


Mother decided to walk aimlessly, she took the direction towards the market at a fairly slow pace. It was getting darker, though the new clock showed four o'clock.


Not long after, I stopped by the shop on the side of the road. Buy the largest plastic bag.


"Well, there's the biggest plastic bag, man,"


"Ga there's mom. I don't sell plastic bags,"


"Once-former boy is there? I bought it. It takes a lot of it,"


"If there are ex. Take it, Mom. Don't pay," the shop owner reached down from his desk and took a shabby plastic bag and gave it to his mother.


"Thank you, sir. Sorry to be a hassle. I'm afraid my groceries are raining, the sky is dark" she gave me an excuse.


The shopkeeper just smiled as he watched my mother finish her work. Now the Laundryan he had put into used plastic. People must believe that this is dirty clothes.


Mom developed her smile on the shopkeeper before he turned his bike back home.

Arriving home, Wibie and I were still chatting in the living room. Mother threw the parcel she had brought into the loundry room before approaching them.


"Alhamdulillah, clean nganter dapet again koyor laundry," said the mother while sitting next to Dad.


"Alhamdulillah" said the father.


"You're just here instead of staying in mess. It's also your parents' house" mother offered the ex.


"Thank you, Mom. Mess is an office facility. Let me just be there. I'll play here as often as I can,"


"If you live here it's good. If you use a car, the motorbike can be used Doni to pick up laundry anther,"


"Cars and motorcycles are also office facilities, ma'am. It's not nice to see that the guy's motorbike is being used by the employee's family,"


"Oh, yes, I have. Means it's the fate of Doni to work harder," said the mother again while forcing a smile on her mantis.


"And not all customers ask to be picked up, ma'am. I think it can still be arranged,"


"Ah, this Dad. That's mom and Doni. Dad can what?"


Silence. Father can only bow his head. What my mother said was true.


"Here you go, here. I will buy another motorbike. Let's make mom's business go better,"


"Yes, Son. Thank you, yes" said the excited mother.


"Yes Mom. God willing,"
