Divorced for Poor

Chapter 85. Request from former in-laws

Towards the application day Wendi and Sri just count the days. Preparation of the proposal that will be followed by the wedding procession the next day, looks so busy many people. Especially close relatives, relatives and neighbors.

Moreover, in this village, Wendi family includes a distinguished and respected family. No half-hearted, the application that will be given to the prospective daughter-in-law is a necklace, bracelet and ring at the beginning of the application.

And at the wedding, the Wendi family will give a motorcycle, cow and household furniture. Starting from the spring bed, toilet, wood cabinets, dish shelves, kitchen utensils and others that will be brought along with the groom at the wedding ceremony.

In return, it was quite as good as the women. Sri's family will only give you a refrigerator instead. Although many consider this too much, but Wendi does want to give what he has to his wife. Because then all of that will be in their homes.

Nathan helped with the preparations at Wendi's house, as did Ms. Siti and Naina. Lilis does not help because the less constant condition of Revelation is fussy if many people.

"Assalamualaik."

The voice of a woman from outside. Lilis left the sleeping Revelation.

"Wa'alaikum salam" replied Lilis.

Lilis opened the door and found her former mother-in-law with her sister-in-law coming over. Lilis was suddenly anxious as to whether something had happened that made them meet her.

"Mother, Madam Mona, please come in," Lilis asked kindly. "Please sit down, Lilis comes in for a bit."

"Thank you, Lis. No need to bother," said Bu Wati.

"No bother, Mom. Just drinking water" Lilis replied.

Ms. Wati and Ms. Mona were sitting in the living room looking over Lilis' house. Lilis who had just made warm tea for them and intended to deliver tea to them, was shocked. Lilis did not want to think negatively with their arrival, even though the feeling suddenly appeared.

"Mom, Ma'am Mona. This is the drink, please drink," Lilis said with a friendly smile.

"Still, Lis," said Mona.

"Mommy's coming here, first want to see the situation you and your granddaughter. And I am happy to see you now better even arguably very well after parting with Desta," said Bu Wati with a long sigh.

"Alhamdulillah Ma'am, Lilis already has her own business to renovate this house and to eat Lilis daily," Lilis said facing Bu Wati's remarks.

"Mother also see, you're married again and already have children. Your husband is also very kind unlike your mother's son, Desta. Surely you will not only have a child, right? Sure, you want to have more than one," said Bu Wati.

"Yes, Mom. Because Lilis was an only child and had no siblings, Lilis sometimes felt lonely. Therefore, if Lilis was given grace and given a chance by God, Lilis wanted to give Naina at least two brothers. Why do you ask me that?" ask Lilis.

"Lis, you know, I've been married for over 10 years. And until now, I have not been given any offspring. Although my husband never had a problem about it, but, as a woman I also want to have a child," Mona said sadly.

"Lilis knows, Ma'am. Lilis is also sad, and Mona must also be very sad not to be given a baby. Honey, Lilis can't help anything" Lilis said.

"You can help your sister-in-law, Lis," said Ms. Wati.

"True Lis, diro agreed I'd take the child, but he wanted a family connection. He said if there is still a family relationship like parenting his own child," said Mona.

"Give Naina to Mona" said Ms. Wati.

"What, give Naina to Mona's mother? You mean ...," asked Lilis completely in a panic.

"I'm going to adopt Naina. I promise I'll take good care of Naina. School and education are worth going to college if he wants to" Mona said.

"It's not a matter of being able to take care of it or not, but why are you so easy to make such a request. You don't consider my feelings. Naina is my son. I conceived and gave birth to her by betting my life. You should have known my answer before you thought about taking it from me" Lilis said in angry emotions.

"Patience, Lis. I know you're her mother, but you understand Mona's condition as well. You know right now Desta's gone somewhere. He disappeared from the shame in this village he had no face anymore. Think of it, Naina as Desta's replacement. Let Naina live in our family," Ms. Wati tried to explain.

"No, you guys are so selfish. Just thinking about yourself. What about me, I can't live without Naina either" Lilis said resentfully.

"But Lis, you already have a Revelation. You will also have another child with your new husband. You will have many children and you will not feel lonely. But me, I only ask Naina Lis," Mona said.

"Sir Mona, I'm sad and I feel sorry for you because you haven't been given any children. But to give Naina to you, I can't" Lilis said sadly

"Lis, I know you're a good woman. You wouldn't have the heart to see Mona like this. Think about it first. Later, mom and Mona will come back again" said Ms. Wati.

"Yes, Lis. Pity me. Whatever you ask for in return, I'll give it to you" Mona pleaded.

"We go home first, Assalamualaikum," said Ms. Wati.

"Wa'alaikum salam" replied Lilis.

Lilis bowed listlessly ushering in the departure of her former mother-in-law and former sister-in-law. Sadness and resentment enveloped his heart at this moment. Because she couldn't bear it and was in confusion, Lilis ended up crying alone. At that time, Nathan had just returned from Wendi's house. Nathan is shocked to find Lilis, crying in the living room.

"My wife, baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Who made you cry?" nathan asked tubi.

"Lilis is scared, Mas. Lilis was scared," Lilis said as she hugged her husband sitting beside her.

"Fear why? Tell me who made you cry. Didn't we promise that there will be no secrets between us. You're gonna be honest with me and I'm gonna be the first to know about your problem?" nathan asked, reminding Lilis.

"I know, I promised you. But let me calm down before I tell you. I wanted to cry until the tightness in my chest diminished," Lilis pinta hugged Nathan tightly.

"Well, I'll wait until you're ready" Nathan said, replying to Lilis' embrace.

Nathan recalled the events that used to be when Grandpa threatened Lilis. Could it be that there is such a thing again?
