I'm a Son-in-law Not a Maid

I'm a Son-in-law Not a Maid
The Part 14



After the departure of his father, Azizah so often pensive, for him this is too soon. He had not yet apologized to his father, begging for forgiveness for what he had done. Because the sadness was not lost, he often forgot and wrong in doing homework.


"Zizah ...," cried Azizah's Mother-in-law.


"Yes, Mah" said Azizah.


"You haven't washed Mom's clothes yet?" ask her with a shrill tone.


"Geez, not yet, Mah. Zizah forgot," replied Azizah.


"What are you anyway? Obviously yesterday Mamah already said, wash this shirt, because today you want to wear it to the event of a friend Mamah. Still young I was forgetful," he said as he passed away leaving Azizah.


Azizah just bowed quietly, for this time she was wrong, because she completely forgot what her Mother-in-law told her. Too much to think, Azizah is still very bad over the death of her father. His heart was struggling in despair, as if slapped by the trials that came. Prodigal infestation incised wounds, until the mind is tormented. He felt like he was losing his direction.


"Bun, are you daydreaming again?" ask Jerry.


"No, Dad" replied Azizah.


"If not, why silence?" tanyanya returned


"I still think of you" said Azizah.


"Already, Bun. Since your father's departure, he's been quiet there. I'm sure I forgive you too" said Jerry, trying to calm Azizah down.


"Yes, I know, but I don't think I'm a useful child" cried Azizah.


"Yes, Bun. You have to be strong, remember there is Rafael, me and also your mother" he said while hugging Azizah.


Azizah's cry broke again, her powerless to stem the tears that continued to flow into the cheeks. Not only a sense of loss, guilt continued to envelop Azizah. She blames herself for never coming home. If only, he had listened to his mother at that time, perhaps still meeting with his father and not too late to apologize.


Why was I so stupid? Just because of my fear and selfishness, I don't want to go home.


That feeling of dread continued to gnaw at his heart, seething with endless turmoil. But all of that cannot come back. Azizah continued to strengthen herself to stay strong, for Rafael and Jerry.

"Zizah ...," call Azizah's Mother-in-law.


"Yes, Mah" said Azizah.


"What the hell are you?" ask Mother-in-law.


"Just sit there" said Azizah.


"sitting down? So you're just lazy now? Your homework just leave it?" His face looks so angry.


"No, Mah. Azizah was just ...." Not done talking Mother-in-law cut off Azizah's speech.


"The reason is that you have to do it fast. Everything is still messy, dizzy Mamah look at it," said Azizah's Mother-in-law.


"Yes, Mah" said Azizah.


"Yes, Mama wants to sleep first." Her mother-in-law left Azizah.


Azizah bowed lethargic, it seemed she was not eager to do all this. However, if not done for sure Mother-in-law will scold him. Because Azizah does homework except cooking.


After Azizah had fed Rafael and Diva, she had just worked on another one. This house is big enough, only Azizah did it alone. From the cleaning, in the high ceiling platfon, cleaning the pool, sweeping and mopping and so on, done Azizah. It was used to being done by him. Sometimes Jerry likes to help him.


"Want me help, Bun?" Jerry approached Azizah who was having trouble reaching the ceiling of the platfon.


"No need, Dad. Later I scolded your Mom, if you help me," said Azizah.


"Jude, Dad. Thank you for helping me" Azizah said.


"You're as rich as anyone. I'm your husband, so it's only natural that I help" Jerry explained.


"Hehe, yes, Yah" said Azizah.


Jerry hasn't got a job since the accident. Jerry tried to keep applying for jobs, but there was not a single interview call. Now Azizah's husband's activities, only at home to help Azizah's work and to take her Mama to the market.


Azizah who saw her husband was pensive immediately approached, while carrying lunch for Jerry.


"It's lunch I'm ready for. You why? Tumben is silent."


"Yes, Bun. Thanks yeah. I was just thinking, why haven't there been any interview calls.


"Together, Dad. It's not necessary to think too much, if it's time there will definitely be an interview call."


"I'm a husband and father, I don't think I'm useful because I haven't been able to provide you and Raphael properly."


"You can't talk like that. I know you're the responsible husband. Just pray, hopefully someday you get a job in accordance with your graduate diploma."


"Yes, Bun."


"Yes, I also want to feed Rafael, yes" Azizah explained.


Their lives are filled with twists and turns. However, Azizah and Jerry knew that this test would make them stronger. Support and strengthen each other. Because sometimes the journey of life does not always go with what we want.

[Zizah, please turn your phone back, it's important!]


After reading the message from his Mamah, Azizah immediately called his Mamah.


"Hello, what's up, Mah?" ask Azizah curiously.


"Your sister just called Mamah, she said the house certificate was behind the name so she had her husband" explained Mamah Azizah.


"What do you mean, Mah?" ask Azizah, who did not understand his mother's words.


"When your father was hospitalized, Mamah asked your brother to help pay for his treatment, because Mamah had not been paid and until now had not paid to your brother, Mamah, he changed the name on the iu certificate" said Mamah Azizah.


"Why could that be? It could be like this big brother, surely she instigated her husband, Mah. I knew very well that Brother was not greedy with treasures" said Azizah.


"Come, Zah. Although he is not the biological child of Mamah, but Mamah used to school until Mamah's college was paid. Why is he happening like this to Mom? Just because you cannot pay the debt," said Mamah Azizah in a sad tone.


"Your patient friend. Try it again later on." Azizah tried to calm her mother.


"Already, Zah. He said it wasn't Mamah's house anymore, but it was her property. The house will be divided into rented houses and your sister, if you want to live there must pay rent rent," cried Mamah Azizah.


"Geez, all the way?" Azizah was surprised by what her brother did.


"Yes, Zah. Actually the house is your right and Aisyah, because it's the house Mamah bought, but your brother could have taken our house," said Mamah Azizah in a raucous voice.


"Yes already, Mah. May there be a way out, let our rights be taken away, because God will always be there to help us" Azizah said.


"Yes, Zah. Yes, yes," said Mamah Azizah.


Azizah did not think, why could her brother do that? Her brother was so kind and loving. Since marriage, there has been a lot of change in attitude from her sister.
