For the Sake of a Consecrated Word (You Ignore the Wife's Child)
Trying to Fight
In the morning Yesha woke up as usual, she did her morning activities as a housewife. It starts with washing clothes, but there is something awkward when washing her husband's clothes. She smelled a strange smell on her husband's clothes.
"It's not the smell of Dika's perfume." he muttered and continued to wash Dika's clothes.
"Astaghfirullah. " Yesha was suffocated when she saw the lipstick stains on Dika's collar.
Yesha no longer cared. She continued to wash her clothes, all her might trying not to care but as hard as she tried but still failed, and her tears began to pour down her cheeks.
"What are you actually doing out there? " Yesha can't take it anymore.
So many trials that he had to go through all this time, Yesha was still trying to survive. But not for betrayal. After finishing washing clothes with various dramas on his mind, Yesha started cooking for her husband and son. She still did not forget, although she was injured but as long as Dika was still her husband she had to do her duty.
Cuisine is available with a makeshift menu, Yesha then wakes Aksa up because she has to go to school. Aksa is an independent child, he can already do everything himself. After seeing Aksa ready, with a lazy step Yesha went to her room and woke Dika.
"Wake up, what kind of work today? "
"Whispering, it is still morning, Yes" murmured Dika who still closed his eyes.
"It's already seven and a half, ma'am." Yesha was still trying to wake her husband, afraid he was wrong again.
"What... Why did you just wake me up, shit I must be late. "said Dika then get out of his bed and into the bathroom.
"Based on a useless wife." he said again while in the bathroom and still heard Yesha.
Yesha simply exhaled her rough breath, and stroked her chest trying to accept all the harsh words of her husband.
"Just right, wrong building is not built wrong. My life went awry " Yesha murmured inwardly.
Dika prepared in a hurry, regardless of his son and wife who saw him with a look that, I don't know.
"Yesha, I'm leaving first. " namely.
Yesha led her to the door and shook her husband's hand.
"Ga breakfast first mas? "
"Ga, I'm too late. I have to get out of town again for a few days. So maybe I'm not going home. "
"Alright, be careful on the road, ma'am. "
He got on his bike and passed from his house. I don't know, even though his position is quite high in the company. But why is she still riding a motorcycle, Yesha herself is not mindless with the way her husband thought.
Yesha went into the house, after the Dika motorcycle was no longer visible. Aksa finished her breakfast.
"It's over, son? " ask Yesha to her son.
"Already, ma'am" said Aksa while nodding.
"So, let's eat first. After that we go to school. " Yesha sat down at her table and devoured the food she cooked.
"Mom, why did you never say goodbye to Aksa? Dad's never home either. Do you love Aksa anymore? " A long sentence from Aksa made Yesha stop her food. He no longer has a taste for food.
"No, Son. I love Aksa. It's just that Dad's still busy working. I knew I was in a hurry. "
Aksa nodded.
"Yes, let's take you to school. "
"But mom hasn't finished her meal yet. Poor food ma'am. " Aksa said after seeing the mother's food yet.
Yesha who heard the words of her son smiled, then squatted her height with Aksa.
"Later, after taking Aksa to school, mother will finish her meal. Okay. Now we're leaving. "
The two of them finally left for Aksa's school.
After coming home from delivering Aksa, as Yesha said earlier, if he would finish his meal. However, again the meal was interrupted with a familiar voice in Yesha's ears.
"Yesha, get out of you. "
Yesha came out right away, before her mother-in-law made a fuss.
"Come on, ga pantes screaming outside the house. It was not good to see the neighbors either. "
Bu Ayu went straight into Yesha's house haughtily.
"You said whatever Dika said, why his face was unsightly when he left for work." asked Bu Ayu while shaking her waist.
"I didn't say anything to Dika. He said he was bad luck, so he would be late to the office. Maybe that's why his mood is bad. " Said Yesha casually.
"Ohh, you don't wake up. Why did he get bad luck? basic wife ga use. "
"Had it been, ma'am, was there anything mom came here early in the morning. "
"Turp you, yeah. " Mum Ayu doesn't seem to like hearing Yesha's words. "As soon as you come home, work is piled up. I want arisan for a second. " Said Ayu, then sauntered away from Yesha's rented house.
Tired every day to get treatment like this, even though at home mom there mbak Maya-in-lawku and Dila mas brother Dika. But why was everything given to me? Is it because I'm a normal kid from the village? Then what is the difference with mbak Maya, who is also the son-in-law of an ordinary family. Why am I the only one being treated badly?
Mas Bagus who only worked in the workshop, also never contributed anything to his family. They've been eating my husband's paychecks, but why they've never been nice to me. What exactly is my fault?"
Worse yet, Dika himself who is also my husband, never cared for me. He always defended his family wrongly, rather than me his wife who had given him a child.
"Son." Even since Aksa was born he never touched her. For him, the presence of Aksa will only increase the burden. So Aksa asked "Did you never love him. " I just kept quiet without being able to answer. Because I'm hurt myself.
Then the question I have been asking all this time, Why is Dika still married to me, even though she knows all her family is against our marriage?
A question I could never answer.
Pov End's
Yesha did not go straight to her father-in-law's house, but she finished her meal first and cleaned her house. After that, he will go to his father-in-law's house. Yesha was determined that today was her last day to come to her father-in-law's house to be her son.
According to the wishes of the mother-in-law and her husband, from tomorrow Yesha will work and will be a lazy daughter-in-law at home. That was Yesha's determination.
After finishing cleaning her house, Yesha finally went to her mother-in-law's house which was only one alley with her rented house.
"Assalamu'alaikum." Yesha stepped into her in-laws house.
"Here we go, the poor have come. Why just came? Go to the kitchen, the laundry is piled up. "
Instead of returning Yesha's greeting, Maya insulted her.
"Eh, both poor people do not need to eat each other. Wonderful deh. " Yesha tried to fight Maya this time.
"You... "
"What is this, why fuss. "the new Ayu ma'am was disturbed by the commotion by her two daughters-in-law.
"This is ma'am, Yesha says to me. " said Maya complaining.
"You have just come Yesha, wherever you are" said Ayu ma'am who saw Yesha as if she had just come, regardless of Maya's complaint.
"I finished the house first, just came here. Then there's Maya, can't she help me finish the house? We are both daughters-in-law in this house. But why do you treat me and Maya differently? " Yesha tried to protest this time.
Bu Ayu looked at Yesha sharply, it was certain that she would be furious with Yesha. Because only this time Bu Ayu saw Yesha start to fight. It is time, Yesha must fight against injustice that has befallen her all this time. She must immediately act to fight and defend herself, in order to maintain her sanity so far so as not to be underestimated and trampled on by her husband's family.
Yesha was still silent in front of Ayu and Maya's mother, she saw shock on Maya's face. Yesha who had only been silent and crying when being bullied now began to be able to fight.
"You're brave, same mom. You poor ghost don't know yourself, it's nice to marry Dika who has raised your degree. You don't even know yourself and you don't know thank you. Basic benalu, have not worked, never give any contribution to this family. Dika is stupid, why would you marry a village woman like you. "spicy mouth mother-in-law started to act.
"That's what I wanted to ask all this time, why would Dika want to marry me? though her family never approved of our marriage ", Yesha said loudly.
Makes Ayu's mother surprised.
"And, if I'm a prick. How is it different from Maya? He also eats and sleeps here. Her husband never gave anything to this family. All of you here are eating blind paychecks from my husband. Until his own wife only gets the rest of your money. " Yesha again brought out all her grunts.
"He. don't carry my name, Yesha. " Maya began to misbehave when Yesha mentioned her name.
"Why don't you accept. I said what it was. " Ketus Yesha.
"You've dared to be insolent huh, Yesha. " Mom began to pull out her fangs with a waist-rigged rat.
"Have it, step aside if you continue to babble and block my path, I will not finish doing my work" said Yesha as she passed.
Bu Ayu and Maya are gawking at Yesha's unusual behavior, but they let her. Because Yesha must do her work immediately.
Yesha did her in-laws as usual, she wanted to get it done as soon as possible to get out of here. After all his work was done, Yesha said goodbye to everyone who was there to pick up Aksa.
"Mom, this is the last time I am a maid in this house, from tomorrow I will work according to the wishes of mother and dika mas. So, start washing your own clothes and dishes " said Yesha.
Bu Ayu who heard Yesha's words glared in disbelief.
"What do you want to do? " sanyanya.
"Alah, most also a maid, ma'am" replied Dila who had just come out of her room.
"Yes, mending me as a maid in someone's house. I'll get a salary. Than I work here, but every day I get only scorn and mockery from all of you" said Yesha lightly.
All unbelievers hear the words of Yesha. Yesha had completely changed within a day.
"Hey, don't doubt you Yesha. You son-in-law doesn't know yourself, you're never grateful. Every month you also get money from Dika what? It's the same as your salary working with someone else." Said Ayu's mother grumbling.
"Mother was wrong, it was the living that my husband gave me. But I consider it monthly spending money, because it is not enough to meet the needs of our household. If you think that's my salary every month, okay. I accept. Thank you, because you have paid me for my hard work all this time. And from tomorrow I resign from my job, look for other helpers who want to work with you." said Yesha glanced at Maya with a smile.
The goddess finally left her in-laws house in relief. Without listening to the insults and insults coming out of their mouths.
to be continued.
