Chapter 67 Hurricane Katrina
After lunch, Azka asked Storm to accompany her down to the field. If Azka is usually always accompanied by Aldo, for a while Azka chose to ask for help to the Storm, let all be a moment for him to get closer to his wife's friend.
If at first Azka felt Storm as her toughest competitor, but as time went on, as a man, she could see the sincerity of Storm to Dea. He could see from the Storm's eyes when he saw Dea, a warm, protective, caring and affectionate gaze, but not a desiring gaze. Azka can see that. Azka felt that there was nothing to worry about, but she felt grateful that the Storm had been taking good care of Dea all this time.
Before going to the field, Azka also asked Rara and her sister Nisa to accompany Dea in her room, he knew Dea still wanted to linger sharing the story with Rara and it made Dea very happy because Azka herself who took the initiative to ask for Rara's willingness to accompany him even longer.
Dea has seen a lot of changes in Azka since their meeting in Dubai. Azka became more warm and attentive, and she could see Azka's efforts to bring herself into Dea's circle of friendship. That was a significant advance for him.
This time, Nisa participated in a warm conversation between Dea and Rara. Not to forget he prepared a snack and warm tea. Dea and Rara were so excited to hear Nisa's mom tell her about her joy at being a working mother. All wrong, on the one hand he was so eager to always be close to his two children, but economic demands forced him to still have to work.
Hearing Nisa's story, Rara's face suddenly moody, she was reminded of the problem she was facing.
Dea who realized it couldn't help but ask. "Why Ra? How come the face is bent so?"
Rara gave a rough sigh. "Mas Deon asked me to resign, after his father died, my mother's health declined. Mas Deon insisted on taking care of her, but if we both work, no one would take care of my mother at home. The fear of his illness recurred when we were at work." Say it with a sad face.
"Brother Deon works or at home?" Ask Dea curiously.
"His two sisters are housewives anyway, if his three older brothers, I don't know, he said the house is narrow, his children are still small so bother all."
"Well, why do you have to resign to take care of your in-laws? There's your brother-in-law, you can hire a man or a nurse to keep at home while you both work." Dea's speech doesn't accept.
"There is no way that Deon resigned mas, De. not to mention Deon's mas dependents, the cost of caring for his mother, sometimes his sisters are also still usually asked for the same mas Deon. This is how I cover my salary sometimes." Rara bent her face again.
"That's how women, when they become wives, they are required to be good at caring for their husbands, good at the kitchen, good at the bed, great at taking care of children, can take care of the house, can make money, can make money, being able to take care of yourself at the same time must be a caregiver for the husband's parents. Yes, if we are appreciated, but there are, sometimes we are even blasphemed by brother-in-law because they consider us not to be good at taking care of their parents. Especially if the husband also participates in blaming and judging us, then it is no longer heaven in marriage, but hell is waiting if the stock is patient and the stock of faith is thin." Speak mbak Nisa at length.
"Sometimes people see from one side only, for example if Rara insists on not resigning, then the people around him will say Rara is selfish, dissident, ungodly wife, and so on, but the problem is not all wives are able to be in the position of Rara at this time. Especially in the condition of young pregnancy, and later during childbirth, the possibility of the baby blues can approach if the environmental conditions in his home are not supportive." Nisa added again.
"I'm sorry, Ra. I don't know how close you are to your mother-in-law, but as far as I'm concerned, no matter how close we are to the in-laws, there's still a little distance. In contrast to our own parents, when they rebuke us and we feel we do not accept the reprimand, we feel we have the power to refute the words of our parents, he said, maybe our parents were offended at the time, but his name is biological parents, sorry we cantongi before making a mistake. Not that we can argue parents, but there is a name for release because it is not able to withstand. But try if it's your in-laws, sure you can refute? Are you sure you can get your uneg-uneg out? There you will choose silence because there is a husband's heart that you must take care of, your in-laws too, but over time if your in-laws continue to undermine you, then it will be a disease in your heart, because you can't let go of what's inside your head." Nisa's mom continues.
However, Nisa was once in the position of Rara and it almost made her household destroyed, lucky she and her husband can still remind each other and want to mutually self-introspection, the difference, the difference is, nisa's condition can not refuse because her husband is an only child. It's just that at first her in-laws were so chatty, all commented on, no action by Nisa passed from her comments. That's what makes Mbak Can almost give up, but because the persistence of her husband calms and reconciles the two women he loves, but because of the persistence of her husband, finally they can get back on track with the record of her in-laws trying to hold back while Nisa tries to upgrade her patience level. And from that experience that's why mbak Nisa said that the daughter-in-law and in-laws there is a distance because after the incident, mbak Nisa and her in-laws both act carefully, different from their own parents, and the parents, the problem is finished and forgotten without leaving awkwardness.
Rara further melted her heart. Fear began to loom on his face.
"Don't think too much, Ra. I see your mother-in-law is good. If your brother-in-law's business, ignore it, as long as Deon and your mother-in-law appreciate you, just walk around." Dea tried to calm down.
"Yes, Ra. I'm just telling you this to be a consideration. The destiny of each person is different, it may be the same problem but the end result is different. Some feel pain, but some feel mediocre." Nisa's mom doesn't feel good about Rara.
"Yes, it's okay. Mas Deon is very good with me, mother is also so, I do not feel so suitable with brother-in-law, just that I am not ready to stop working. Precisely I love the same mas Deon for being a responsible man when there are still three older brothers, they are from six brothers, he said, only the mas Deon I saw wanted to take care of his parents, others seemed to feel the busiest of all when they knew our own work, often had to be overtime."
"Patience, Ra." Dea's speech stroked Rara's shoulder.
Rara felt so bad because it was too far to pour out her heart here, even though there was mbak Nisa who was not so familiar with it. But getting one point of view from Mbak Nisa is quite a relief for him.
"Just follow your heart." Get Dea again.
Seeing the experience of her best friend Rara, Nisa also made Dea unceasingly give thanks in her heart. He was given a mother and father-in-law who loved him so much as well as brothers-in-law who cared for him.
Perhaps because in this case the economic conditions for Dea and Azka are not a problem with it so there is no need for a husband's income struggle between his wife and his extended family.
Dea looked at Rara who was bowed like a man carrying hundreds of tons of weight on his shoulders, making Dea's heart full.
Suddenly the door is knocked from the outside and Deon appears with Azka coming into the room.
"Well.it seems so fun to tell the story, what chapter has it reached?" Tanya Deon approached Rara.
"What novel do we read again? People are also just snacking on the doang really." Elak Rara who tried to smile and change her face water from lethargy to sumringah in front of her husband.
While Nisa immediately covers out after Azka comes, Rara and Deon leave them.
"Racid?" Tanya Dea gave a glass of drinking water to Azka who was already sitting in her great chair.
"Lumayan, quite tired of the rambling Katrina during the field earlier."
Dea's forehead shriveled. "What katrina?" Ask with the intonation of the sound that began to rise.
Azka realized her mistake, "meaning Storm Brother, Yang. Hurricane Katrina." The grinning speech made Dea stroke her chest slowly.
Though Dea's heart had begun to heat up and it was unexpected that Azka was just joking.
"Dude.."
"Hmm."
"May I ask you something?"
"Whatever, mommy." Azka looked at Dea seriously.
"Deon's salary and department are up?" Pinta Dea is doubtful.
"Ready-done!" Azka stood up straight and kissed her forehead and was greeted with a warm embrace by Dea.
