Divorced Because of In-Law

An unpleasant welcome...

I who have arrived at my uncle's house received an unpleasant welcome from my uncle's family who did not like my presence in their home. I can only wait and survive because if I stay at the boarding house then my mother will ask me to go home because she is very afraid that her son will hang out freely during his stay in Jakarta.

Early in the morning my aunt woke me up to clean the house and help her prepare breakfast, I also obeyed all his orders even when I was at home I never did it all because my mother had a housekeeper who had been working since I was a child until now.

"If you stay at home that person should know you're not the queen of this house" my aunt reminded me.

"Yes bi" I only answered just because I realized I was hitching a ride in her house.

"After breakfast, wash all the dirty dishes and clean the kitchen because my son does not like doing homework"

"Well" I can only be patient even if I don't know until when I can be patient to be treated like a maid.

After my work was done I went back to my room and prepared to go to campus with my uncle. After finishing our business on campus we immediately returned home, I who had just arrived at my uncle's house was greeted with the voice of my aunt's screams to help him in the kitchen because a myriad of jobs were waiting for me. Uncle was just silent to see me treated like a housekeeper because I asked him not to become a household conflict later.

A week after being in Jakarta and I started college, I was so happy that I didn't have to be at home because I took college last morning I went on to work part-time to supplement my pocket money while I was in college because I wanted to collect it right away money to look for boarding because I can't stand the treatment and words of aunty who always insulted me.

With a sigh I also did all the work even though my body was very tired. After all my work was done I immediately headed to the room to clean my body which was already flooded with sweat attached. After I finished my phone bath ringing, my mom called me that night and I quickly picked up my phone.

"Hello ma"

"What are you doing? "

"I just finished my shower"

"Why is the new night taking a shower?"

I tried to cover up what happened because I was afraid that if my mom found out what I was going through here she would tell me to go back home. After chatting for a long time I ended our conversation on the phone and went to bed because early in the morning I had to wake up.

After a few months of living in the uncle's house and I have managed to raise money to rent a boarding house - I also ventured to say goodbye to uncle. Uncle also approved my decision to leave his house because uncle also could not stand the treatment of his wife to me. Uncle also drove me to the place where I was boarding, after helping me lift a suitcase and make sure there was safe uncle came home after giving me a sum of money that if I counted five million rupiah.
