After Party

After Party
Trouble



Luna and Juna are trapped in the car, still in front of Luna's parents' house. There was something a little disturbing from their meeting with Luna's mother just now.


For Luna, maybe this is a solution. But, for Juna, this was even a heavy and complicated matter.


Still ringing in Juna's ear, when Mother asked Luna and Juna to stay at her house which is located in the middle of Jakarta. Mother was very worried about the distance that Luna had to travel every day.


Dewi, who told all that to her mother, that Luna had to travel back and forth from home to Juna's office, then to his office, and when returning the opposite route. In total, they spend four to five hours driving on the streets every day.


That made her mother very worried. Especially with the age of pregnancy, Luna who is still young today. Very risky.


At that time, Juna wanted to immerse his head and avoid his mother-in-law's gaze. He really hates the helpless feeling about the steering wheel driving this car.


Honestly, he also felt sorry for his wife, who had to drive that long every day. He tried, but always failed. Then Juna felt deterred and lazy to try again. And now he was too comfortable with his wife who was not too demanding to be able to drive.


But, to stay in the beautiful cottage in-laws, it feels Juna also does not want to.


There have been many stories that he heard from his friends, that the household is fractured due to the intervention of parents. He doesn't want to be one of them.


"What about Mom's offer? Do you agree?" Luna asked breaking their silence at that moment. In the dark, Juna could only exhale heavily.


"I can't." Answer Juna slowly.


"Why? What else are you thinking? Can you see me tired every day? I'm pregnant with Juna! It's your son!" Tukas Luna was frustrated.


"Yes, I know, I know. But, you heard our friend's experience for yourself. Living in that house of in-laws, there was no privacy! A lot of things are not good!" Reply Juna while throwing his face.


"But, this is my parents' house, your parents' house too, Juna!" Luna shook Juna's arm.


"If so, you don't have a problem, dong, if you have to stay at home mommy? Mommy, right, my parents, your parents too!" Juna with fierce.


Luna was silent for a moment.He actually understood Juna's worries. However, there was currently no choice for them. This is all for the sake of the child who is now in the womb of Luna, the fruit of their love.


"Juna, but, the house is located outside Jakarta! Just as far away as our own home!" Luna tried to answer to her husband.


Juna did not answer. Until Luna starts the car engine and Luna drives her car home. Juna was still unmoved, he was still speechless not opening his mouth in the slightest.


Luna prayed long and hoped, Juna would approve of her desire to stay at the mother and father's house.


On the way, Luna finally pleaded with Juna with her tears flowing.


"Darling, please... We have to stay at Mom and Dad's. Only until our son is born. I promise!" Luna cried while looking into Juna's eyes.


Until arriving at Luna's house and Juna are still silent to each other.


Luna still hopes to stay at her parents' house given her content.


He knows and understands Juna's objections to living with his parents.


As if she had more effort than her husband, who seemed relaxed and did not care about the state of his wife.


"Juna, really, we don't have a choice this time, honey. My pregnancy is still very young. Make anticipation, we can stay at mom and dad's." Kayu Luna on Juna.


Juna was silent. He still did not discuss every speech Luna about the words and advice from her mother-in-law.


Juna is too afraid of the shadow of a bad story to live with in-laws. Moreover, not one or two days, but it could be nine months, during the gestational age of his wife, until giving birth tomorrow.


***


At the office the next day.


"Died at the house of in-laws? Whoa... You should be ready to die dry, friend!" Rey said after hearing Juna's story.


They currently live together in the meeting room, after the meeting.


Yesterday, Luna again expressed her request to be able to stay at her parents' house. A very heavy desire to be approved.


Until Juna, could not take it anymore, and decided to tell all that to Rey.


Just finished pouring out his heart. Juna immediately realized that he was confiding in the wrong person.


"So you know!" Juna said condemning Rey's words. But, in his heart, he was even more frightened to hear Rey's reaction.


Like a fierce dog, Rey can sniff the smell of fear coming from inside Juna. This made him even more eager to scare his friend.


He deliberately told a case in a village. About a daughter-in-law who is not strong, when treated badly by her in-laws. Eventually, he became less sane. Then he went on a rampage and killed all members of his family, including his pregnant wife. Juna shuddered when he heard Rey's story.


"Damn Lo. No, don't scare the nakuti, don't put it on me either." Nina pressed on hard. Though his heartbeat felt very hard when hearing and thinking about the story while living with in-laws.


Rey only chuckled at Juna's reaction back then.


"But this is serious, yes. My neighbor, since she lived with her in-laws, she couldn't go back at all. So if you want to shirk or stomach affairs, he must go to a public place. Like mall, wc general. Stress times faced kebawelan in-laws. Especially mother-in-law! Wawat, deh, that!" Rey continues her story with great enthusiasm.


"Sial Lo's. You really don't help at all!" Juna said with annoyance, while clearing his file and left Rey.


Rey smiled happily.


"June! Prove dong, if you can beat your in-laws! Then you can tell all the secrets and tips to successfully conquer in-laws. Then contact the publisher, make a book, make a talk show, will be a best seller and you can be famous!" Rey exclaimed with a seductive look.


"Rey, remember! These are all real life. A reality that every couple must live. Each couple is different. It's a reality, not a game in a video game!" Mungkas Juna while looking at Rey with an annoyed look.


BLAM IT..!


Juna slammed the meeting room door.
