The following story illustrates that by just changing attitudes, the world around us also changes for the better.
Si Tigor finally married Juminten, a village flower who had long been his girlfriend. After holding receptions and short holidays, Tigor must return to work. Go early in the morning, go home late in the evening just barely. Because they have not been able to buy their own house, so while riding in the house of his mother Tigor who is living alone. Let Juminten not be lonely in the afternoon and all the way to work on my mother, the Tigor thought.
His mother, Tigor, actually did not agree with his son marrying Juminten, she had hoped Tigor would marry the Butet who was still a victim. Tigor's basis is already dead love for Juminten, instead threatening to commit suicide if it is not married to the village flower. His mother who doesn't want to repeat the tragedy of Romeo Juliet has no choice but to follow the wishes of her only child.
His mother, Tigor, has not liked Juminten either. His mother is always looking for faults with Juminten. It seems like you are satisfied that you can mate Juminten no matter how wrong you are. Counting and releasing unegoes, thankfully the Juminten immediately asked for a divorce.
At first Juminten could still bear to hear the scolding of his mother-in-law. But she is also a human. The longer the nagging the more unclear the reason. Cook just because Juminten accidentally stumbled on the chair, the mother-in-law already yelled at him: "Bah! You put where you have eyes, put it behind ******?" Not to mention nagging can't cook, sweep not clean, mostly sleep. Finally Juminten can't stand it anymore. Until it occurred to him in his mind an evil plan!
By reason of missing the parents, Juminten asked permission to go home to her husband.
"But I can't get a break, honey, cook, you want to go home by yourself". Tigor said somewhat objectionably. "It's okay, Juminten can go home by himself. Just take the train later, pick up the father at the station". His words whined. Tigor reluctantly accepted the request of his only wife. (yes how many do you want it).
Arriving in the village without lingering for a long time Juminten immediately drove to Mbah Karjo's house, the village physician who happened to be his close relative.
"Mbah, Juminten wants to ask for help". He said pleadingly.
"Ono opo to nduk?" Mbah Karjo asked confusedly.
"Juminten wants to ask for a mixture of poison mbah". she said firmly.
"Poison? For what to do?" Mbah Karjo was shocked.
"Yes to poison wong to mbah".
"Wong sopo? Are you sane or not?"
"Sane mbah. Juminten wants to kill my mother-in-law. When I run out, I can't hold on to anger every day even though I don't make mistakes." The only way my mother-in-law had to be killed. With enthusiasm, Juminten told all that was natural.
Mbh Karjo could only shake his head while muttering for a long time. "Come on, mbah, do you want to let me know?" Juminten whined again.
"Yo wis wait a moment". said Mbah Karjo with a heavy heart. He entered the room and soon came out carrying a small bottle of white powder. "Nduk, this is the poison powder you are asking for. This poison works slowly but surely. Sprinkle it on the food and drink. Because this powder doesn't taste so nobody will know".
"Mbah thanks" Juminten said happy. "Eh, wait, there are conditions". Mbah Karjo hurriedly replied.
"What are the conditions?" Juminten said impatiently.
"To avoid the suspicion of others and your mother-in-law, during this poisoning process you must do good and serve your mother-in-law." "How come it's like that?" Juminten protested.
"All to avoid the suspicion of others. So when your mother-in-law will die, there is no one who suspects everything due to your poison. Serve your mother-in-law as well as possible. Cook all of her favorite foods. Never argue. Just do it right. , understand? " "Understand mbah!"
Start Juminten to carry out his mission. Every morning she always wakes up early preparing breakfast, cleaning the house and washing clothes. After that she goes to the market looking for ingredients that his mother-in-law likes. Before the sun reaches the top, a delicious lunch is ready at the dining table for the mother-in-law, of course with a mixture of poison powder. Towards the afternoon, hot tea and tempting cakes were served well at the dining table. Dinner is always ready shortly after the sun comes home to the dinner. Juminten always gives a smile in front of his father-in-law and is never seen complaining when told to do anything.
Her mother-in-law who saw Juminten's attitude became his heart. she felt she was too rude with this son-in-law. Even though Juminten is always good and diligent. In his neighbors she is now always praising Juminten. she also began to often invite Juminten to visit friends or relatives. And certainly not forgetting to boast of sky-high Juminten in front of them. Now Juminten is recognized as a very polite and dedicated son-in-law.
Juminten's turn was confused to see the changes in his mother-in-law. On the one hand she still always gives poison to his food and drink. But on the other hand she also began to love his mother-in-law. I have to act immediately! she thought.
"You haven't been home for a long time. Can you go home again now?" Asked the Tigor confused. "What's wrong, son? Is your parents sick?" Mother-in-law added.
"Not ma'am, but I really have to go home soon. I promise only one day in the village, then I will come back here". Juminten begged.
"Do you need to accompany you?" "Oh no ma'am, I don't want to bother anyone, just let me alone. It's just a day, anyway".
As soon as I got off the Juminten train, I immediately stepped on the gas to Mbah Karjo's house. Without further ado, immediately awakened the mbah who was sleeping in a bamboo bale.
"Mbah woke up ... please help Juminten again." She said half shouted.
Mbah Karjo was shocked. Almost dislodged his heart. "Ono opo Nduk? Almost stopped heart mbah". He said he was panting.
"Mbah, Juminten asked for the antidote for the love that the other day".
"The poison that was the other day? Oh how has your mother-in-law died?" The word mbah began to master the situation.
"Waaaaaaaaaaa mbah I don't want to kill him, hurry up and ask for the antidote so she doesn't die" Juminten starts crying.
"How come it's really why?"
"My mother-in-law is now good to me, mbah. I also love her now. I don't want her to die because of the poison ... hu hu hu ...". Juminten cry.
While sighing, Mbah Karjo said: "Yes, it's already done. Your mother-in-law won't die because of the white powder."
"I mean" Juminten doesn't understand.
"The white powder that gives love is not poison. But the concoction of the herb mixed with its own, which is efficacious to nourish and refresh the body. You see, your mother-in-law is now healthier and fresher he he he ..."
Gubrakkk !!! Juminten fell unconscious.
