My Mother's Tears
Part 54 Humiliation
“Assalamua’alaikum,” greet all residents who come.
“Wa’alaikum salam,” what is it, how early in the morning already on coming?” ask Leli wonder.
“Heh Leli, do you not know that your newborn grandson has died.”
“Hah, that's right you! don't like to slander.”
“Fame! Defame who? you see for yourself, is it true what I say, or am I making it up.”
“Didn't you Yati, already dead and your child, you still want to humiliate me,” said Leli as he rushed to Maryati and her children.
“Granny is satisfied now! look at my sister who died, all this because Grandma was too cruel to us, Grandma is not a good parent, Grandma is not a good Mother, Grandma is bad! Evil grandma!” bima shouted with a loud voice, so her voice echoed throughout the corner of the room.
Bima's speech was like the sound of thunder that boomed in Leli's ear, when Leli only realized, if she was not a good mother.”
Slowly, then Leli approached his dead grandson, slowly in the absence of dirty and foul-smelling cloth from his grandson's face.
Feelingly, Leli also held the face of his grandson, after believing he if his grandson died, Leli rushed into the room to take a small mattress and spread it out in the middle room.
When the mourners came in and sat near Maryati, the stench and fishy smell of blood, smelled so stinging their noses. Some of them couldn't stand it and they ran outside, but some tried to stay.
Whispers from the mouths of the mourners sounded very hurtful to Leli, they all sounded insulting and blamed Leli who was so cruel and evil to his own son-in-law and grandson.
“Here your child is Yati, let me put it on this mattress,” said Leli while trying to take baby Maryati from on a dirty mat.
When Leli's hand was about to touch the poor little baby, Maryati immediately shook it off and pushed Leli's body backward.
Everyone was shocked by the incident, then among them tried to persuade Maryati to be willing to lay her baby's body on a mattress that had been filled with new sheets.
Must be any way to persuade and seduce Maryati but she remains in her stance.
“Why with your Mom Bima? why didn't your mom let your sister put on that clean bed?”
“Mom don't want the baby put on that mattress.”
“Why nak?”
“Why we must die first, we are only appreciated, you see for yourself no, for four years we lived in this house, during that time, we slept only on dirty and shabby mats, he said, now dead, just given a soft mattress, Grandma is late!”
“Im sorry Granny Bima.”
“Free, no longer any use.”
“Ya. If Bima does not want, yes it is okay,” said Lini in a soft voice.
“Your father where is Bima, why is he not here?”
“Dad has escaped, he left us to suffer in this damned house.”
“Bima! please take care of your words!”
“Which words should I keep, not every day you all just torture us, even you consider us inferior to animals, is not the house cursed by name. Soon, God Himself will curse you all.
“Enough Milky, enough! you've really gone too far!” mayar.
“You guys who have gone too far, it's clear my sister does not have a blanket, you even sell our blanket and sheets to others, the basis of the myring family!”
“Stop your saying Bima, now we do not need to discuss that anymore, which we think at this time is how we bury your sister.”
“Why? Grandma is afraid, if all your secrets in this house are revealed.”
“Not that Milky, another problem, we will discuss later.”
“No, for four years living inside this house, you know what we ate? after my mother took the trouble to cook for them, then they finished all the food without leaving even a little for us.”
“No! I won't stop talking! you know, after they all finished eating, then Mom gathered all the rice left on their plate and Mom fed it to the three of us.”
“Hah..!” hearing Bima's explanation, everyone was shocked, they did not expect all this time, it turned out that Leli's family was evil and cruel.
“What is Leli right?” ask everyone to Leli.
“Pardon us, we all plead guilty, please first listen to our explanation.”
“Not necessary, we all know the ugliness of your hearts,” said Mr. Kades.
“Then Mothers, let's finish this body, after that we return home." ordered Bu Kades.
“Sini Yati, your baby, let us bathe, one of the mothers told Yati.”
Yati shook her head, then she stood up herself, with a weak body, Yati carried the baby to the bathroom. With the help of Ms. Lini who was always good to her, Maryati also bathed her little baby.
Wails were unceasingly flowing from Maryati's eyes, as well as Lini. Who also saw Maryati's son.
“I am not strong Bu.”
“Yati, you can talk son?” tanya Lini doesn't believe.
Maryati did not reply, she just nodded her head. Lini was very happy when she found out that Maryati was not mute.
“Say your mother-in-law, you are mute and deaf, you are patient son, someday God will surely repay all their deeds.”
Slowly Maryati stood up, after the baby was finished in the bath, accompanied by Bu Lini from behind the woman whispered to one of the neighbors who was beside her.
“Appeared on mute.”
“Really?”
“Yes, he was talking to me in the bathroom.”
“What a brash they are, what kind of family it is that has tortured his own son-in-law and grandson.”
“I was so upset and angry at all of them. You know Sil, it turns out that Yati baby is very small, only as big as a glass.”
“Really?”
“Iya, even then only skin bandage.”
“Pity once they all huh?”
“Iya, you bad guy.”
After the baby Maryati's body was buried, then from a distance everyone saw Tomi's arrival with a backpack.
“You are from anywhere Tomi, your son has just died.”
“My son died?”
“Iya, just finished we bury,” said a Mother.
Upon hearing the news, Tomi rushed into the house, where she saw Maryati crying hysterically. Meanwhile, next to him was Leni and Tia who looked thin unkempt.
Tomi just kept quiet, because it was useless to ask Maryati, because his wife had long been silent.
