Glass Flakes

New Family

"You don't know what to say to you. You can't expect much from this wedding either. You are legal as husband and wife. So there is no harm if you ask you to take care of him. I hope you understand what you mean by Father". The man's words are sincere.

Dimas who had listened to Mr. Sholeh did not say anything. He just nodded his head in understanding.

After saying his point, Mr. Sholeh immediately moved from his seat.

"Sir" called Dimas when Mr. Sholeh was about to step foot. "Dimas is sorry"

Mr. Sholeh who heard the apology from Dimas was silent for a moment and then passed by leaving Dimas who was still bowed down.

It was hard to give up her daughter to a man who had obviously taken away her child's future. And now inevitably Dimas has become his daughter-in-law. Husband of his son. A husband is obliged to take care of his wife. And that's what an in-law demands of his son-in-law.

Dimas himself was well aware of his current position. He is guilty, he must also give up. It really turned her life upside down. His deep guilt led him to become a more mature figure. His current life goal was simply to restore the life of a girl he had snatched away. The girl who is currently his wife.

Her night.

She was arranging her clothes into the closet in her room. His family has been home since this afternoon. Now he really has to live his life with his new family.

Tok tok tok tok

Hearing the sound of the door being knocked, he stopped his activities. He walked to the door and opened it.

"Mama?" he said he saw his father-in-law standing at the door. "Look ma".

"Why Din?" ask Mama and walk into Dinda's room.

"That's the dress of Dinda ma".

"You cleaned up yourself? I can ask Sari for help".

"No need to ma, just stay a little" said Dinda sungkan.

"You don't worry here. Mama papa is also your parents" mama Ambar grabbed Dinda's hand and invited her to sit on the sofa.

"Yes ma"

"Oh yes, tomorrow we go to a psychiatrist, son. Mama made an appointment with Dita's doctor"

Dinda who heard his in-laws' words looked surprised. "But Ma Dinda is not ready yet".

Indeed, all this time Dinda always avoid if invited to see a psychiatrist. Not without reason Dinda refused. He thought a psychiatrist would ask about events he wanted to forget. But he also wanted to live a normal life like before. Being a student and going to school without worry, he really misses it.

"Din, mama knows you just don't want to remember the incident right? but son, if you're like this you sure you can go to school like you want?" mama Ambar said as if knowing the contents of Dinda's mind.

"But ma, Dinda's really scared"

Not even Dinda answered her in-laws' questions suddenly someone turned his head from the door.

"Mama here apparently" Talita came in and casually dropped herself on the sofa next to her mother.

"Lita!. It's not polite of you. Play in" hardik mama Ambar.

"Hmma what the hell. The door is not locked. So yes Lita come in. Don't know why Din?" lita is seeking a defense.

"You know, Dinda is your sister's wife. It's not polite to call him that"

"Yes, Brother Adinda" said Lita who made Dinda a bit awkward.

"Call Dinda also do not papa kok ma" martial Dinda who felt uncomfortable called 'brother'.

"It can't be Din, it will become a habit"

"Yes mama, just a day Dinda here, already feel like a stepson just me" replied Lita did not want to lose

"Eeehhh ni anak spielin" mama Ambar clasped Lita's nose from when her head was in her mother's lap.

"Maaa,, Lita can't breathe this" says Lita trying to escape.

"That's why don't you talk"

"Yes, yes, yes, sorry" said Lita stroking her flushed nose.

Dinda who saw Lita's behavior also looks like her smile. He was grateful to be met with the good people around him.

Elsewhere, Dimas was focusing on his laptop. Occasionally his hand reached for the cup containing the coffee he had just brewed. Some suitcases and bags containing the clothes are still lying in the corner of the room. Well, he lives alone now.

For him it is not new he has to live in the apartment itself. Before marriage, he stayed several times to avoid his father's anger which of course as a result of his actions. Well, that time was different from the present. He now has to stay there himself until the time he himself does not know when it will end.

In the middle of his busy life, without realizing it someone just entered the apartment.

"Night Dim"

A woman's flat voice shocked Dimas, causing him to stop his activities. He looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a woman with a bag of groceries in her hand.

"Ehh, what is Raya doing?! just ngagetin!" pissed Dimas.

The woman just passed from before Dimas towards the Kitchen. Deftly he immediately arranged his shopping in the form of coffee and some snacks into the kitchen set. While soap and other bathing needs he brought to the bathroom in the room Dimas.
