Because of Lent

Chapters 1. Debates

*****

That afternoon, Vina came home because she felt like her head was dizzy. But when she was about to enter the room she instead heard her mother-in-law talking to her husband Pras in her room. Due to the quiet atmosphere, Vina ventured to eavesdrop on the conversation between the mother and the child.

"As for just three million and a half, he won't lend me his mom anyway, Pras?" the voice of Vina's mother-in-law was upset.

"Oh, the problem is mom if you borrow Vina, at the end of the day the mother always asks her to make the money sincerely. Yes, obviously he doesn't want to borrow money anymore."

"Have a wife who is not there to do so, Pras, mending you divorce her. For a long time, he also has no courtesy with his mother. This mother has worked hard to raise you, school you up high. He wants to be good at you but he doesn't want to take care of mom."

"You know, Mom... Pras dizzy. Mostly the wrong mother who overindulges Asya. I always obey Asya's orders."

"Oh, so this is what my mother-in-law thought?" inner Vina. Although he often got harsh words from his mother-in-law, but he did not get out of thought with the attitude of his mother-in-law. Was the sacrifice he had made all this time lacking?

Her husband from marriage until now never gave her a living on the grounds that the money was used for the needs of her mother. Vina is willing to use the money from the sale partly to cover household needs and partly for her needs. Indirectly Vina for one year became the backbone in his household, but why in the eyes of his mother-in-law he was always wrong.

Vina rushed out when she heard the sound of footsteps moving closer to the door. The pain in his head suddenly disappeared into a pain in Vina's heart.

From the beginning the woman had asked her husband to contract her own house. However, her husband always refused, saying if he did not have the heart to leave his mother. Though there is Pras' sister and also his brother-in-law live with his mother.

Vina can only leave. Repeatedly had to swallow disappointment, whereas before marriage Pras always be kind to him.

Asya who Pras had mentioned his name, was Vina's sister-in-law. Mother did often borrow money from Vina for reasons for her needs, but in fact she knew, the money was given to Asya, her sister-in-law.

Though Vina and Asya were both sons-in-law in the house, but her mother-in-law was always favoritism, she treated Asya like a queen because Asya graduated Bachelor while Vina who was only a High School graduate, she treated Asya as a queen, her mother-in-law did not consider herself at all.

Everyone in Vina's husband's house no one knows, if Vina secretly went on to college. She had talked about continuing her education, but always her husband did not give a good response. Finally unbeknownst to Pras, Vina continued her education at the Open University, where her lecture schedule could be adjusted to her busy life.

Vina has decided she should talk to her husband again, otherwise, it is better that he surrender to his household because it will not be possible to survive if the mother of his husband continues to interfere in their household affairs.

Vina did not want to live like this continuously. It was not happiness that he got, it was just humiliation from day to day.

Vina decided to go back to her house, she was not surprised to see her mother-in-law put a sour face on her.

"Heh Vina, cook only 3.5 million dollars, you really don't want to lend mom?"

"Not that I don't want to borrow from my mother, but it doesn't exist, Mom. A month ago even two months ago I would often give loans to my mother."

"Oh, so you weren't willing to help mom yesterday? you want to bring that money up now?" vina's mother-in-law's voice immediately rose when Vina brought up the money her mother-in-law had borrowed from her last month.

"It's not so, Mom. I sincerely help mother, but if indeed the money is really for mother. If I am to be given to Asya, I apologize, ma'am. I'm just a high school graduate whose income is nothing to the mother's daughter-in-law who is a graduate."

Vina immediately gave a firm answer to her mother-in-law. Don't let the problem of money will actually further damage her relationship with her husband's family, although in fact the relationship both began to tenuous since the mother often borrowed money on Vina. Pras thought that Vina was the one who borrowed money from her mother.

Vina thinks it's best that she put limits on her mother-in-law so as not to always demean herself. Asya also works, she also has a husband. Why must Vina bear their needs.

"Yes, obviously Asya's income is greater, he is a scholar, Manager also his position. You are not rich, you are just a chicken seller" replied Vina's mother-in-law straightforwardly and clearly as her chin was raised.

"Yes, thank God Asya's income is big, ma'am. So I don't have to feel guilty if I don't give him a loan."

But not yet had his mother-in-law answer Vina's words, Pras out of the room, he looked at Vina with a difficult gaze to interpret.

Pras pulled Vina's hand and led the woman into the room. "You're nothing at all, arguing like that with my mom, Dek?"

"Mas, but mother started. I brought up the loan again. Do I always have to be quiet? Did I give up less on your mother?" ujark Vina with raucous, it feels just to express the annoyance in his heart, it feels very difficult. Vina was only able to shed tears. To be honest he felt very tired of undergoing this complicated situation.

Seeing Vina's tears, Pras approached her and wiped her tears. Pras did not so scold Vina when Vina said all her heart. Pras should have understood exactly how he felt. Never been given a living but still had to be undermined by his family.

"I want us to contract, okay, Mom?" pinta Vina weld. However, Pras again shook his head firmly. Vina was really disappointed.

"Please understand, my position, Dek. I can't leave my mother alone, Dek." Just now Pras was silent, Vina's mother-in-law suddenly Vina's mother-in-law nyelonong entered.

"If you want to go, go alone! don't take my son. It's barren, can't give this family any offspring, Pelit, high school graduates again, there's nothing I can be proud of about you."

"Mother." this time Pras rebuked his mother. His words were truly outrageous.

"You dare to snarl mom, Pras?"

"Bu-not that, ma'am, but I don't talk to Vina like that."

"This mother is talking about facts, Pras. You are blind, you cannot see. You're young, handsome, a Bachelor of Economics and can get whichever girl you want. Why even keep him who is clearly barren."

"Why do you always judge me that way? was it not enough all this time I succumbed to the same mother. For a year I became the wife of Mas Pras never a penny she supported me. Have I ever complained? why do you always compare me to Asya? Is it because of the problem that my mother's son judged me like that? Or because of my education? have you ever had a health test on Mas Pras? why am I the only one who's always been cornered by your family?"

People say, if you are angry, be quiet. But when my emotions burst, these lips could not stop speaking until my words finally backfired for my household.

"So all this time, that's what's on your mind, Dek? you think the barren mas?"

The deg!!

I really have no intention of hurting my husband's feelings with my words. Pras looked at Vina disappointed, while her mother-in-law smiled cynically to see her son hurt.

"You saw your wife's real face, Pras?" mother said it was like pouring oil into a fire.

"Ma-mas.it's not like that, I mean."

"I've never asked about children so as not to hurt your heart, Dek, but why just because of money, can you say that?"

"Mas, that's not what I meant."

"Vina. mas disappointed in you."

"Had Pras divorced her" said the mother-in-law, continuing to incite my husband. I looked at Mas Pras with a guilty feeling.
