Against Julid's In-laws

Bad Look #2

Three months after the accident, my face did not recover as before. The wound had healed, but left a scar, and a long stitch on the right cheek.

"Aargh ! Why didn't the scar disappear ?!" yells annoyed.

"We, why ?" asked mom to come into the room holding my second daughter Melia.

I live in my own house, but every morning my mother comes to help me with my work. My mom also shopped a lot. My job is to lock myself in the house. I'm ashamed to have such an ugly face. Especially if you meet Genk rumpi, Intan, Inem and others, they can laugh with satisfaction over my suffering.

"Mom, ask for money or loans with Ayu and Bagas, Mom. I want plastic surgery. I don't want to always have a face like this, Mom."

"How much does plastic surgery cost, Dit ?"

"Fifty to a hundred million, ma'am. Come on, ma'am, try calling them. That Minjem, later if I'm beautiful again, have a rich husband, I'll change."

"Hahaha, dream in broad daylight you, Dita ! So man has no gratitude at all. How could Ayu and Bagas lend you money. Try it, I'm sure they won't love you. Right now, only I can accept your situation, Dita. Never mind, you just accept it, anyway, I always give you a living. Focus on our child, don't complain constantly."

"Whispering ! Go you, Mas. There are looking for a lot of money, do not stop talking about doang. Just give money a day fifty thousand aja proud."

"Basic wife is not grateful !" snapped Ma Aldi through from my room.

"Mom, phone call, ma'am."

"But mother dare not, Dit, afraid Bagas angry. Bagas who now is not like the old Bagas. She's getting tough now, and doesn't trust her."

"Sophisticated lie dong, ma'am. Try it first !" pissed.

I reached into mom's pocket and took her phone. I told mom to sit on the bed holding Lia. I forced you to ask for money with Bagas and Ayu. I have to, if not I'm going to go berserk.

...

"Hallo, Ayu."

"Yes, Mom, why ?"

"Bagas is there ?"

"She, Mom. Here, again beside Ayu. Why ?"

"Look, Yu, I need money."

"Monthly money well, then let's send it."

"No, you need treatment, therapy and care, Yu."

"Huh ? What is it that mom is sick ?"

"Ordinary kayak pain, Yu. Uh, all that money for a jewelry collection, too."

"How much is it ?"

"One hundred million, if not, fifty million."

"Create jewelry collection and treatment ?"

"Yes, Yu."

"Don't he do plastic surgery Mommy Dita ?"

Hah, Si Ayu know where it is from ? Not only did Mas Aldi tell them just now. Look out for that ugly guy.

"Bu-no, Yu."

"Here's the gap, baby." Bagas' voice was heard seizing Ayu's phone.

"Mom, still dare to lie ? Want to until when to pamper Mbak Dita ? Until mom dies ? Bagas was already upset. Later Bagas send the last monthly money, after that it's up to you how. Want to get sick or something, Bagas doesn't care anymore. Tired of seeing the behavior of the mother, has many times Bagas thanks for the opportunity to change, at least do not be careless, accept the monthly money that is for the mother herself. I even think it's this again."

"Sorry, Gas, I don't mean to lie. I just feel sorry for Dita, she's sad her face is so bad like that now. Please, Dita just wants to borrow, it'll be replaced."

"No matter what !" snapped Bagas very rough.

"Gee-"

Tutt...

Phone calls are disconnected. Basic sister doesn't know it's lucky. Always making emotions. Though rich, how difficult it is to help his own brother. From poor to rich, his attitude remains impudent.

"That's right, Dit, what you're afraid of is happening. Bagas has warned that if mother is weird like before, she really does not care anymore about mother."

"Here, just calm down, Mom, she's definitely giving me some more money. I'm just acting like I'm pretending to be sick."

Mom was silent, even showing a stale face. She immediately left Lia beside me.

"Mom ! Ih, even angry with me."

Everyone doesn't understand how I feel. Mother, too, cares more about Bagas' feelings. Right now I'm the one who's suffering, I should be the one who's being defended and getting the money for the surgery.

...

"Mom.. want to eat, Mom !"

After breastfeeding and putting Lia to sleep, my stomach was hungry. From that moment I called my mother, there was no answer. I checked the whole room, mom wasn't there. I called, but I didn't pick up. Called again, the number is not active.

"Oh, really hungry."

I'm trying to call Mas Aldi who's selling itinerant pentols. He took the phone from me for a long time.

"Mas, where are you ?"

"The sales in the village next door, why ?"

"Hungry, Mas. I want to eat."

"Dead of eating, I've given you daily money."

"Who's the stall ? I don't exist."

"Have feet, get out yourself, don't spoil !"

"No, Mom. Shame ! Cepetan you buy me food first, keep coming back."

"Marijuana, buy yourself !" Mas Aldi turned off the phone.

"Ih, Dajjal's husband !"

How about this, my stomach hurts so much. Lea was a child, only able to walk stammering, where can I tell to the stall. How about this, I'm not strong enough to resist hunger.

"Ahaa, wear a veil, let it be invisible."

I went to the nearest shop. Shit, close. Inevitably I have to go to Bu Ijah's stall in the mother's village, the distance is not too far. I hope there's no gang in there.

...

"Buy..."

"Buy what, Ma'am ?"

"Telor, rice, noodles, same quarter chicken."

"Yes, Mother. The new citizen ?" Ijah Bu asked, not seeming to recognize me. Good though.

"Mom, buy some fish" Intan said. Well, why did he come. I hope he doesn't recognize me either.

"Mom, my groceries are counted."

"Who, Ma'am ?" ask Intan.

"New people."

"What is it ? I know his voice."

"So how many ?" I was trying to ignore Si Intan's suspicions. The woman is even more attentive. He approached with a probing look.

"Fourty thousand."

I handed him the money and hurried away.

"Wait !" Intan blocked my hand.

"Why, dad ? I'm in a hurry to cook."

"You're Dita, Dad ?"

"Who is Dita ? Don't be weird, I want to cook." I answered trying to release Intan's grip.

"Ihhh !" yelled Intan after pulling my veil. Damn, that accursed human with a lightning-fast motion pulled my veil loose. I tried to take my veil, but Intan threw it away.

"Ih, it turns out that gossip is circulating, a Dita, queen julid turned ugly, hahaha."

"It's so bad for your face, Dita." said Bu Ijah with a horrified look at me.

Other mothers came to buy vegetables. They looked at me in surprise and disgust. This chest felt unusually hot and irritated.

"Deliver !"

"Hahaha, Dita the ugly one !" intan shouted while laughing satisfied.

I ran back home. Along the way the people who cross the road staring in shock at the condition of my face, even though it was trying to be covered with this wide hijab of mine.

"Aargghh, damn it !" I shouted high level emotions.

I slammed a pot and some stuff in the kitchen. It's all because of mom. Where is she ? He should have stayed here !

"We, why are you ?" mother asked coming from Lea's room. I stared intently at Mom.

"Why are you, huh ? I was told to come here again with Aldi. You may leave Leah alone on the floor. Good thing he didn't cry and walked into the kitchen."

Plaque !

I slapped mom so hard. His face looked in wonder, shaking his head. His eyes were glazed over, and his hands were clutching at the flushed, wrinkled cheeks.

"Sorry, Mom, I-I didn't mean it."
