Because of Lent
Chapter 8. Son-in-law Unexpected



*****


Lady Pov


A year ago, Pras my son suddenly came and asked to marry a girl. When I asked about the girl Pras told me that the girl was selling chicken near the market.


Actually I feel ashamed to have a daughter-in-law like her, her family is not clear. Out of nowhere to meet Pras, my son also never discussed this woman before, but suddenly asked to be married directly.


At first I refused because I was ashamed of the neighbors, while Asya Bagas' wife was a graduate of S1 what would happen if I had a daughter-in-law who was just a graduate of High School. But as Pras threatened to give me no more money and elope with the woman, I finally gave them away. I also asked Pras to raise my spending from 4.5 million to 6 million. Fortunately my son was the kind of child who was very devoted to me.


I purposely had a simple wedding at home because she said the woman was just boarding near the market. He was just picked up by his two brothers, he said. Either real sister or sister met gedhe, but fortunately the two men who claimed to be sister is a little understanding, they gave 10 million money to replace the kitchen money he said. Well, at least not enough to later add-plus buying jewelry, because in fact the kitchen money has been given a Pras a few days before the ijab qabul event was held.


Every day, for some reason I always feel uncomfortable and do not like Pras' wife. She can't look beautiful like Asya my first daughter-in-law. Asya is a manager at a hotel in the middle of the city. His status was so high that it was different from Vina's. From Pras's story to me, Vina's been selling chicken for 3 years, it's not explained what chicken he sells, whether cooked or raw I also don't care. I gave all the kitchen necessities to the woman and she foolishly responded. Though I know Pras' money has been mostly given to me.


"Mom, this is shopping money for mom," Pras handed me a pile of red money, but wait it seems like the amount is not like yesterday.


"You reduced the number, Pras?"


"Da... Where do you know?" pras asked, it seemed as if my son was hiding something from me.


"Mom has held money a lot, Pras. How much less did you lose?"


"Pras only take a million, ma'am."


My eyes immediately glared. "One million, Pras? what's for?"


"For Vina's shopping money, ma'am. Pity him to keep on numbering."


"You are, Pras, mbok so people do not easily fool women. He's a job, right? he's got money. Let the kitchen money out of the money. He's also hitchhiking in our house."


"But, mom. The money Pras has already given to Vani."


"That's let mom take care of her. You'll be quiet enough if she complains to you."


"Alright, Mom. Pras went to work first."


"Hm... "


Upset, very upset at this heart, Pras could cut my money for his wife. The woman will work let her out of money for the needs of this house. Counting in exchange for house rent.


When Vani came out of the room, he was about to go to the market maybe with his usual appearance.


"What are you doing with my son? you brainwashed him so he could give you money?"


"Astaghfirullah, Mom. I am okay with Pras. Yesterday morning Pras gave me money, but I swear to God, I never asked for it.


"Well, that must be your wits, right? because of you, Pras cut my spending money."


"Oh my God, Mom. I swear, Pras gave the money himself to me. I haven't worn it either."


"Yes good. If you're wearing it, you're gonna have to change the money, too."


"My mother seems to be very happy" asked my first daughter-in-law, Asya. She had appeared very beautiful and fragrant different from the village girl earlier.


"Sure dong, Yes."


"Mom, yesterday Asya see there is a make up promo. But unfortunately Asya's money has been sent partly to the village for the cost of Aqilla school."


"What's the price, huh?"


"Million, mom. Want to ask for Bagas I also have no heart, Mom."


"Oh, just calm down. This is mom with a million dollars. You just wear it to buy that make up. If you're beautiful and liked by many people, you're proud of you."


Without a second thought, I immediately handed the millionth money to my most beautiful daughter-in-law. It's okay as long as he can maintain his position if he needs to be grateful he can rise to office.


...***...


A few months passed, but Pras' wife did not get pregnant, I suspect that the village woman was barren.


"Pras, your wife isn't pregnant?" manya curious.


"Patience, Mom. Pras has been married for 8 months. We're not in a hurry to have a descendant."


"Yes you are not in a hurry, but surely the neighbors will gossip you."


"Don't listen too much to what the neighbors say, Mom. We don't eat them."


Pras then went into the room leaving me. The longer Pras' behavior becomes more like a child who is difficult to tell. This must have been his wife Vina who continued to have a bad influence on my son.


While in the kitchen Pras' wife looked troubled to light my butut stove. I finally had an idea to squeeze it out subtly.


"Already know the stove butut, still keep trying to turn on. I thought about buying a new cake, what? he said school but couldn't think."


I just insinuated it sambi then. If it stays around it will definitely increase my blood pressure again. From the insinuations I made to him, I did not expect that he would actually buy a new stove, I believe that the stove he bought was a fairly expensive stove.


"Huh, wait for the satirical new buy," I murmured.


There was actually not a single thing that I thought was wrong with him. It's just that I don't like to see Pras' wife, maybe it's also what makes her feel like she's always wrong in my eyes.


Right now my son-in-law doesn't expect it to be walking outside, I'll approach him immediately. He looked surprised as I stood nearby.


"Hey, barren woman, actually you're using pellets right to ensnare my son?"


"Oh my God, Mom, why do you always think badly of me? what's my fault?"


"Who are you a lot. You getting into Pras' life was a mistake for me. Especially because of your presence, my son is now so stupid can not be told."
