Between Revenge and Love

Meet the In-Law

That morning Dinda woke up feeling happy. Last night she slept with her husband's video call. Clearly, Raphael was not with the odd woman named Rossa.

Today Dinda plans to visit Miss Desy. After all, Miss Desy was her father-in-law. Although Raphael had not told his mama, Dinda would treat Bu Desy as her parent as well. Maybe Raphael had a good reason for not introducing himself to Miss Desy.

Dinda wrote a message to Raphael telling him that he was going to visit someone in the hospital. He got ready and asked the driver to deliver him. Dinda stopped by the fruit shop and bought a parcel.

Today he was eager to accompany Miss Desy. A visit that he deliberately to get to know his in-laws better. She hopes that in the future, Miss Desy likes her as part of their family. Dinda looked forward to that moment, when Raphael proudly introduced her to her in-laws.

Dinda knocked on the door before opening it slowly. A smile greeted his arrival.

"Good morning, Miss Desy" said Dinda kindly. He also put the fruit parcel on the nightstand.

"Thank you Dinda, you really kept your promise to come back to visit me." There was a joyous tone as the words were spoken by Bu Desy, but a drop of melted tears drenched her cheeks.

"Mom Desy... Why are you crying?" Ask Dinda worried.

Miss Desy was trying to form a smile. But the result was a smile of pain. How not to be sad, in her current state she is just a failed mother. His two sons did not show him love. Ridho who had always been by her side had hurt her heart for recklessly selling her husband's only legacy company. While Raphael, the boy had disappeared somewhere. Ms. Desy had lost contact ten years ago. Even the man who was told to look for Raphael to Melbourne didn't find him.

Ms. Desy did not know that she had failed to find information about Raphael because of her son's anger. Raphael with his connections and wealth blocked access to information about himself and his adoptive parents in Melbourne.

Ms. Desy blamed herself instead, as she was so slow to look for Raphael. Actually, he did so that his son did not get in trouble. Ms. Desy was still convinced that her family's enemies never stopped destroying them. Even if her husband had died in an accident, other family members were also threatened.

Until now he could not find out who the enemy of his family or his motivation. Especially at this time the state of the family's economy is deteriorating. All of this is due to Ridho's carelessness in managing the company. Some time ago he had handed over his company to Ridho. The reason for that was to focus on looking for Raphael. He does not want his old age to continue to be haunted by regrets because of the loss of his biological child. Just two months into Ridho holding the company, chaos soon ensued until Ridho's decision to sell the company shocked Bu Desy. That's why he had to go to this hospital, he had a stroke.

Had Ridho followed the scenario he made by marrying Dinda, perhaps he would not have had to suffer in his old age. Dinda is a strong and independent girl. It is very reliable to be an ideal wife.

Ms. Desy saw Dinda for the first time, while Dinda was still sitting at the High School. Dinda helped him from a snatcher. With her ingenuity, Dinda manages to defeat the snatcher, a burly thug. Since then, Miss Desy has been finding out all about Dinda. Her belief was unanimous, that Dinda was the right girl for her son.

Bu Desy deeply regretted the attitude of Ridho who chose not to follow his orders. However, he could not impose his will on his son. He did not want to lose his son again. Even if there were many problems that he had to endure on his own, he could still be grateful. At least at this time Ridho is still prioritizing him. Give the best treatment to himself. Again Miss Desy did not know that it was all thanks to Raphael's intervention.

Ms. Desy clasped Dinda's fingers. He tried to let go of his dream daughter-in-law. Dinda has the best husband. Also seeing Ridho whose love dies with his lover is very unlikely to change his decision.

"Dinda...every time bring your husband to visit here!" pinta Bu Desy is weak. He wants to get to know Dinda's husband, making sure that Dinda has found the right husband.

Dinda could only nod. There was a mess in his heart. "Mom.I'm your daughter-in-law." Those words were eager to be thrown out. But Dinda must be able to hold back. For the time being he should not surprise his in-laws who would worsen his health. Dinda would be a good daughter-in-law to him.

"Mom Desy ate?" Dinda saw that Bu Desy's dining room was still tightly closed on the table.

"Can you call me mama?" pinta Bu Desy. Although he did not succeed in making a son-in-law, there is still a chance to make Dinda as his son. Despite only being an adopted child, Miss Desy would be very happy. Moreover, Dinda is a tenacious and attentive woman.

"Yes Ma.... Mama want Dinda who feeds you?" Dinda took the bushel to eat and opened it. The chicken porridge menu is still untouched. Dinda fed Bu Desy painstakingly. He remembered his mother who was gone. If time could be replayed. But it's impossible. Dinda was determined to pour out her affection for her only mother-in-law.

"If only my mother had a daughter. Mama must be happy someone took care of her in old age." Words full of sadness said from the lips of Bu Desy who was interested in tilting because of her stroke. Actually, Miss Desy is not a reckless person with her health. He is very careful with his daily diet. Ms. Desy also diligently participated in gymnastics in the sanggar. But because many of the problems faced make him stress and tension soared up. Until his body could not tolerate, his right body part was paralyzed.

"Mom ate a lot." Dinda continued to feed the food to Ms. Desy. Until the woman refused.

"Enough... My mom is too full." Miss Desy was very happy. Dinda has treated him very well. Suppose Ridho falls in love with Dinda. But it's too late, because Dinda has found the man she loves.

After feeding Bu Desy, Dinda felt that there was nothing more she could do. He thought he was leaving soon.

"Dinda... Can you accompany your mother first? " Pinta Bu Desy be careful. She was afraid that Dinda would not get her husband's permission.

"Yes ma.... Dinda can accompany mom." Dinda felt needed, she was so happy.

"Mama is very sad.." said Bu Desy.

"Ma... why? When you tell a story, your mom can feel relieved. Dinda will hear it." Dinda pulled a chair closer to Bu Desy's ward.
