Destiny of the Village Girl

A Gift from Mother-in-Law

It was a bright day, but in Leony's heart a storm shook his entire body and heart. He sat in the garden beside the house. Only the beautiful flowers there comforted his eyes.

The wedding was not as beautiful as her shadow. Whether everyone experienced what he experienced, he did not understand. He imagined Fira and Nita. They have failed to choose a life partner and build a household heresy. Will he fail too?

He got up and went to his room. The nurse was helping her father prepare for a nap. He tried to ask if his father had drunk the herbs, to be sure and the nurse agreed to give them. He gave his smile to his father-in-law.

Just as he wanted to step up the stairs, his mother and sister-in-law entered with a voice of overjoyed laughter. This time her mother dyed her hair the same color as her sister-in-law. They also brought a lot of paperbags, it seemed like they were buying some new clothes and personal gear.

Leony simply tried to dodge and continued upstairs. But her mother-in-law called her telling her to come downstairs.

"Leony, here you are" said her mother-in-law.

"What's the mah?"

"Where is mamah's appearance? pretty yet?" said her mother-in-law while showing her new golden-blonde hair as long as a shoulder.

"Beautiful mah, very suitable as mamah," Leony said with a smile.

"You also need treatment! if you walk the same way you are not shy. Look, this dress is beautiful, right?" asked her mother to show her the dress she was wearing. Black dress in cream color, very suitable with the color of her hair.

"Pretty mah,"

"You know, the one who bought this dress is Rizka. His ex-fiancee Adam" he said as he circled around happily with the dress he was wearing.

"Yes mah? very good of him," said Leony while holding back his heartache that felt more and more like in the iris.

"He's good, Leony, he's not stingy. And the taste of mama's clothes is also the same as her taste. Your sister is also often bought expensive clothes like this," said her mother-in-law. It was as if he had never bought expensive clothes.

"That's right, my mom and sister are lucky" Leony said, smiling. But whoever looks into his eyes knows that his smile is full of wounds.

"Well, this is for you. Mama bought herself, so that you might have a little decent clothes," her mother-in-law handed her a paperbag.

"Thank you, ma'am,"

"Yes, try to use it."

Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law brought a lot of paper bags into their rooms. So did Leony, he was curious about what kind of clothes his mother-in-law bought. He felt a little flattered, they did not forget him.

He opened a pink fanta dress, the shape of his dress is similar to the one he usually wears. It's just more formal and a little fancy and branded. In the paperbag there is also a dress price receipt for 800,000 thousand. A whole new life this time he had clothes this expensive. He took a deep breath, grateful that his mother-in-law still remembered him.

He hung his pink fantasy dress in a row of other clothes, the dress looked so beautiful among others. He smiled happily. He felt dizzy again and lay in bed, before he slept.

After a while he fell asleep, someone walked into the room startling him. It turned out that her husband had already come, her face shabby and pale.

"Mas, are you home?" leony asked astonished. Shouldn't her husband be back in 2 days.

"Here is the mas" Leony stomped on her husband's head. A minute later, Adam fell asleep and began to snore. Apparently he was really exhausted.

Leony went down to the kitchen to make sure the cooking was ready, so that her husband could eat after waking up.

"Non, sorry before non," said bi Sri.

"What's bi?"

"Sorry yes non, just a few days but the shopping money is up non. How is this non? because yesterday the madam asked to buy beef, the price is good not to mention anything else. Now the spending money is up," said bi Sri rather awkwardly.

"Let's just calm down, Adam's already home. Later if he has been up and eating, then I ask money to him yes bi," said Leony while checking all the dishes at the table are very much.

"Yes, non,"

After some time Adam was awake and looked fresh after bathing. But Leony did not see the whereabouts of his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Are they still in his room or have they gone out again.

"Bi, are you Anita's sister?" leony asked quietly so her husband wouldn't listen.

"It's gone again non," said bi Sri half whispered.

"What whispers are you?" adam asked astonished to see his wife and maid rumhangga.

"No, you want to know about the kitchen" Leony said indifferently.

"Well, it's delicious. Let's eat together!" he said he was excited to see the beef in the soup.

"Come bi, we'll eat together!" invite Leony, because usually bi Sri eat last if everyone has eaten. But Leony forced her to eat together, and eventually bi Sri complied as well.

After the meal was over and cleaning up, Adam went to his father and took him for a walk in a wheelchair. Leony also followed those who headed for the courtyard of the house. His father looked very happy to see Adam. He missed his son who was most attentive to him.

After tired of walking and enjoying the afternoon sun heat they go inside. This time Leony felt dizzy again, almost fainting. He felt like he had to rest. He went into the room and pulled out the blanket. Adam was amazed to see his wife who wanted to sleep, but it was already very late in the afternoon.

"Hani, are you sick?" tanyanya while holding his wife's forehead with the palm of his hand.

"No, I'm so sleepy" he said, closing his eyes.

"Hani, I know you're coded again right?" ask her husband with a dirty face.

"No mas," Leony began to fall asleep, his voice growing lethargic.

"Hani, can't sleep at this hour. What time do you see this? it's already 5 and a half hours" said Adam trying to wake his wife who was really almost asleep, "Hani, hani, wake up!" but it was useless to wake his wife.

He sighed, thinking his wife was giving him a chance. But alas, hope is dashed like ashes. His wife now snores little, he kisses his beautiful wife's forehead. He remembered yesterday scolding him, and hoped he would never repeat it again. I don't know what he's done in this house to look so tired.
