"Albinical. Look at your wife! He's been acting again now. Sela does nothing, but she blames Sela for what happened. Mama doesn't like this attitude of hers, Al."

"Mas, I don't blame Sela for no reason. Sela started first. He who .... "

"Allah. Albi you are talking sweet. Soft-spoken like a person who had no strength to resist. Try not to have an Albi. You cake a savage beast ready to pounce on prey."

"Aunties. Yes, not papa. I was wrong. Not Dina. I'm the one who started first. Wrong talk until Dina feels offended by what I said."

"Hey! My sweet sela. You can't like that too dong, son. Don't be gentle with the wrong person. You have to be firm."

"Al, please dong yes. Mama was very, very not strong with the attitude of your wife's village.

Please commemorate him, do not bring the attitude of his village to this house. The house is initially quiet, so the market cake every day is just because of the actions of your wife, Albian."

Albi watched Medina who was not far from him. Anger ruled over Albi's heart at this time. The woman he had made his wife six months ago could only bow her head as Albi stared.

"Follow me to Medina's room! I have something to talk to you about."

"But, Mas .... "

"Don't argue much. I don't like to be rebutted, Dina. Come with me right now!"

"Ba-good, Mas."

Albi walked first leaving the family room. Dina followed her husband's steps with a heavy heart. He knew, Albi was upset and would definitely warn him again and again after they were in the room later.

Not Dina does not accept commemorations. Only, what Albi will commemorate is not what Dina did. All that was not the fault of Dina, but rather, just slander from her in-laws alone.

Meanwhile, mama Albi was smiling sweetly triumphantly when she saw the departure of Albi and Dina. He knew, this time, he had managed to get the daughter-in-law he didn't want to get caught up in the charade they had just played.

"May Albian immediately divorce Dina ya, aunt." Sela spoke in a quiet tone expectantly.

"You don't have to worry about that, Sela. Aunt is sure, soon, Albi will divorce Dina. If he doesn't divorce any time soon, then we'll continue our trap plan for Dina to a higher level."

"Ready, aunt."

...

In the room, Albi was staring straight out the window. Dina who had just entered, suddenly felt a very unpleasant chill.

"What else are you doing now, Dina? I'm tired of hearing all this almost every day."

"Mas, I'm not doing anything. I only met Mama and Sela in the living room because she asked me to make water for her and Sela. That's just it. There's nothing else."

"What other lies are you telling, Medina!? Mama wouldn't talk like that if you didn't act. Anyway, I've been warning you to stay away from them if you don't want me to get even more upset about the state of this house."

"I've been trying to get away, Mom. But it was my mother who called me to drink. Is that not clear, Mas Albi?"

"Medina! Don't talk to me in a high tone. I'm the head of the family here."

"You're my wife. Is that unclear? Yes, even if I marry you in unprepared circumstances, but still, you're my legal wife."

"If I'm your wife, but why can't you trust me a little, Mom? You always justify what your mama says. But don't listen and trust what I say."

"I don't believe, because you don't deserve me to believe, Dina. You said mom asked you to make water. Is there no maid in this house that can do that?"

"Where do I know, Mas. Mama .... "

"That's enough! I don't want to listen to any more commotion now. Don't make me feel even more sorry for marrying you, Medina."

After saying those words, Albi immediately left Medina. Dina who listened to that remark, could only round her eyes while staring at the departure of the husband.

Slowly, a clear circle fell across both of Dina's cheeks. Sadness, resentment, and anger gathered together into one in his heart. It's just that he can't let go. He could only hold it in his heart with all his might.

'I'm his wife. But in the least there was no trust in his heart for me. He listened to what others had to say about my ugliness. Where is my fault?'

Medina fell down because of limp feet. She remembers her marriage six months ago. A simple wedding was held in his hometown.

Originally, Dina did not want to come to this city. But, because Albi is a husband whose livelihood is here, then Dina is forced to come along.

Who would have thought, what he was afraid of actually happened. The mother-in-law, who dislikes him, is always looking for ways to make things difficult for him every day.

Not only that, Albi's attitude changed after everything his mother did to Dina. After the trap after trap that my mother-in-law made, Albi felt that Dina was wrong until this second. He also followed by blaming Dina when the mother acted.

....

"Dina, where's my shirt?"

Albi spoke in a high voice while searching for the whereabouts of his wife. Dina who was in the bathroom came out quickly.

"Shirt? Which clothes, Mom?"

"The clothes I asked you to prepare last night. I'm gonna put that shirt on to the office today."

"Have I not prepared on that table, Mother."

"Oh, really? Where's the shirt, Medina? There are only pants here. No clothes at all."

Medina walked over. He looked at the table carefully.

"In-here there was indeed a shirt last night, Mas. I'm not lying."

"Oh, what the hell are you guys. It was noisy in the morning. Disturb the calm of the morning," said the mother-in-law who was in front of the room door.

"What's up, Al? Why is it so noisy early in the morning, hm?"

That question made Dina feel bad. He knew, there would definitely be another blame for him from the mother-in-law this time.
