The Seed of Father-in-Law
CHAPTER 2

I slept with my mother in my room, spent the night to let go of all my complaints, for this was the last night I stayed with my mother in this house.

"Bu ayu want to say to mom, later if ayu is not here and mom misses the same ayu, I call ayu yes" I told my mother who was lying next to me

"yes dear" said the mother while stroking my hair

"if only Dad was still there, I would be happy if he saw me married" I said

"your father once wanted to see you married, to the point that your father said to his mother, Sarah, if you get married I will give thanks in this house"

"yes already if ayu tomorrow is married, we hold a thanksgiving in this house to realize the wishes of the father" I told my mother

"yes son, I'll give your father a big thank you after you get married tomorrow"

While lying down, my mother and I talked about my family's past.

about how my father fought desperately to get mother's love.

My mother used to be a beautiful girl and also kind, so many men came to my mother's house to propose to her.

at first my mother did not like my father who only porters building with a salary just enough to eat.

But because of the persistence and also the sincere affection of my father, made my mother feel that my father is a man who is responsible to the family, I also have a mass that I cannot forget until now.

I had a very good childhood friend to the point that my mother thought of him as her own son Radit Adi Wijaya, my neighbor who had long wandered into the city, she is now married to a beautiful city girl.

Though if I can be honest I really like Radit, he is a good man and also handsome unlike Farhan the arrogant man.

but I was even in a match with Farhan a man who often insulted and demeaned me in school first.

"ehh Bu, by the way I've always been the same as Radit, why he never came home" I asked my mother

"Radit was your childhood friend?" mother asked back

"iya Bu, Radit who I consider my own mother's son"

"hehehe mother also miss the same child, long time mother never saw him"

"his mother said Radit was married in the city and living with his wife there" I told my mother

"yes" I don't believe

"yes ma'am yesterday I was with Radit's mother"

"thank God she's married" my mother said

"how about we invite Radit to my wedding tomorrow" I suggested to my mother

"mmmm, does Radit want Dateng?, he is busy like, because to go home he does not have time" said the mother

"yes, too, ma'am"

Actually I really wanted Radit to come to my wedding, hoping he could stop the wedding, because I didn't want to marry a cocky guy like Farhan.

if only time could be turned, I would like to reveal my heart to Radit that I love him.

"you sleep, tomorrow you have to wake up early to make a deal with your future husband" said the mother who was stroking my hair

"mmmm I want to stay up late and tell the same mother" said I with a pouty face

"ehhhhhh, tomorrow you want to get married cook the bride and groom stay up late"

"yes I am sleeping" I said

I unconsciously fell asleep while hugging my mother who was lying next to me.

The clock was showing at 8 am, I woke up my mother to prepare to leave for Mr. Yasir's house.

because today I am getting married, I rushed to take a shower and put on the wedding dress that Mr. Yasir gave me yesterday.

in front of the house was a car waiting for me and my mother, a black luxury car decorated with flowers.

"let's go" said the driver who was carrying the car

"so yu" said the mother who told me to come in

I got in the car, and in the car my mother advised me not to fight to my husband and father-in-law when I lived there.

"eh yu, if later you are legal to be the son-in-law of Mr. Yasir, you obey what they say, so that there is no problem in the future" mother advised me

"yes ma'am, ayu will try to be a good wife and daughter-in-law" I replied

Before long we arrived at a luxurious house with all-around facilities, the palace-like house was the house of Mr. Yasir.

this is the first time, I set foot in a mansion this big.

I entered the house awkwardly.

there were already many people who would be witnesses of my marriage and Farhan's.

I sat next to Farhan to hold a marriage contract that many people saw.

"are you ready" asked the ruler to both of us

"yes I am ready" I said along with Farhan

"alright if you're ready let's start the marriage contract, get your hands" said the ruler, who asked Farhan to shake his hand

"bismil was born Rahmanirrahim, Farhan bint Abdul Yasir's brother I married you and Ayu Wulandari bint Harto's sister with mascawin a set of prayer tools and 100 rupiah money paid in cash" said the penghulu who became my marriage guardian

"i accept the marriage and marriage of ayu Wulandari bint Harto with the mascawin paid in cash"

"how's witness sahhh?" ask the marriage witnesses

"sahhhhh" shouted the marriage witnesses present at the event

We are both officially legal spouses in the eyes of the law.

now that the arrogant man has become my husband, he must be happy because he can insult me every day.

Farhan put a ring on my ring finger, I also put a ring on his ring finger, which is a sign that we are officially married.

after the event was over, one by one the guests who came to the event came home while congratulating me and Farhan.

I feel tired today, having a wedding and welcoming the invited guests.

I feel like I want to rest, lie down on the bed because my body is not strong enough to stand up anymore.

my mother said to go home because it was late afternoon.

"owh yes Mr. Yasir, I want to say goodbye first, I tipped my son ayu, please if he made a mistake nasehati him gently because he is very easy to cry if in the snapped" mother's advice to my father-in-law

"sarah's mother is calm, now ayu has become my daughter-in-law, I will educate her like Sarah's mother educated her" said Mr. Yasir to my mother

"well then I say go home first, assalamualaikum" my mother greeted us

"walaikumsalam" we answered the greetings of the mother together

my mother came home leaving me in my new home, a sense of sadness on my face that separated from my mother.

"you rest first yu you must be tired, and you Farhan invite your wife to rest in the room" said my father-in-law

"well" said Farhan

"sook a break" Farhan invited me into the room

we both rested in the room, tired of all day welcoming the guests who came.
