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

Part 9's

Jerry kept to his principles, he started his job as Security. He no longer cared about the abuse and abuse of his parents, all he cared about was Azizah and Raphael. Trying to be a responsible and independent husband. There is a moment of Jerry's mind to contract and separate from his parents. He waited until he got his first salary.

"Bun, I'm off to work, yes" said Jerry to Azizah.

"Yes, Dad. Here is the provision and be careful on the road" said Azizah.

Jerry left in his second wheeler. Azizah looked at her husband with pity, unable to bear to see Jerry working as security. However, inevitably he must accept, because of the needs of more and more days. Azizah would not, if she continued to depend on her in-laws.

Azizah's mother-in-law approached her who was still standing on the front porch of the house.

"Jerry still working?" ask her with a cynical look.

"Yes, Mah" replied Azizah.

"Truly yes, dear child is difficult. Let's not get the blessing of parents, later also the work will not be long," he said annoyed.

"Why do you talk like that? It should be as a mother, praying that her child is healthy and her work is launched," said Azizah who did not accept the words of her Mother-in-law.

"Who are you even nasehati Mamah? Self-conscious dong! Who made Jerry that way? It's all because of you!" Again her Mother-in-law blamed Azizah.

Azizah was silent and could not say anything more. It seems free, however Azizah is always wrong in the eyes of her in-laws. He looked down sadly holding back tears, so as not to come out in front of his Mother-in-law. She also knew that her husband was sad about his own mother's treatment. However, the rice has become porridge, all will not return to how it was. So complicated life lived, sometimes making himself seem to give up on circumstances.

Azizah had finished all the housework and Rafael had fallen asleep. When it was finished, Azizah always took the time to call her Mom. Now, he was more open to his Mother-in-law, telling all the circumstances and treatment of her Mother-in-law. For too long, he bore the burden alone, it felt unable to hold this mind anymore.

"You who are patient, whose household name must have problems. Whether it's a quarrel with a husband, an economic problem or a problem with in-laws, it's common. If you live in a household, it means you must be ready to accept the consequences that exist," said Mamah Azizah advising her son.

"Yes, Mah. Zizah knows, but why is zizah always to blame?" Azizah cried and poured out all her heart over the phone to her Mom.

"Maybe he could not accept, if his son married quickly. Mamah knows your feelings, doain Mamah to be healthy always, so that later when you retire, you can stay with Mamah," he said to calm Azizah.

"Yes, Mah. Sorry Azizah yes, Mah. I can't be happy yet and be the son of Mamah" said Azizah, who has repeatedly apologized to Mamahnya.

"You don't always have to apologize. My mother forgave you from the beginning. Either way, you are the son of Mama. Everything has happened, no longer regret," explained Mamah Azizah.

After that Mamah Azizah ended her phone, having to continue her work there. Mother-in-law who saw Azizah in the room, curious about what was discussed with her Mom. Because, the duration of calling long enough can be up to an hour. Her mother-in-law also saw her crying, making her even more curious.

"Why are you crying?" tanyanya.

"It's okay, Mah," Azizah replied.

"So Mamah was horrified, you again call with your Mamah?" ask again.

"Yes, Mah," Azizah answered briefly.

"What's the talk? Up to an hour. Surely you're talking about Mamah no? Or the ugly Mamah?" Azizah's mother-in-law felt that she was being talked about.

"No, Mah" said Azizah.

"lik! You must be talking to your in-laws" he said.

Azizah no longer answered, she left. What her Mother-in-law said was, not entirely wrong, there was a point if she did talk about it. However, Azizah did not mock her Mother-in-law, she only spoke according to the facts.

"Bun, we're signing a yuk!" take Jerry.

"Contract? You're not wrong?" azizah asked with a confused look.

"No, Bun. Let's not cape, if you contract, then you only take care of me and Rafael," said Jerry.

"Oh my God, I'm really smart, but you've got your parents' permission?" ask Azizah.

"Yet, Bun. I'll tell Mamah" Jerry replied.

Jerry rushed to his mother and asked for permission to contract.

"Well, Jerry's permission to contract yes," said Jerry slowly.

"Contract? Do you have money to pay the rent?" tanyakanya.

"She, Mah. Jerry's out of pay" Jerry replied.

"You're sure that's enough to meet all your family's needs? You're sure that won't be enough" he said.

"Jerry sure, Mah. Always be grateful for what God has given us" said Jerry.

"You asked your Papah first, definitely not allowed," he said.

Papah Jerry arrived shortly.

"Bah, Jerry said he wanted to sign." Azizah's mother-in-law told her son's intentions to her husband.

"You contracted? You sure, Jer?" ask Papah Jerry.

"Yes, Pah," Jerry replied.

"She disagrees, if you contract. Contracting it is not cheap, not to mention the cost of Rafael's needs will be greater and more," explained Papah Jerry who did not approve of his son's intentions.

"But, Pah ...?" said Jerry who was cut off by the words of his Papah.

"If Papah says no yes no. Once you rebel and disobey, never enter this house again" Papah Jerry said in a high tone.

Jerry was just silent, inevitably had to obey his Papa. He did not want to be a wasted child and also thought about Rafael who was too small. Pursued his intention, because he did not want to be stamped as an ungodly child. Maybe next time there is a chance to be separated from both parents.

Jerry returns to the room with a lethargic face and tells Azizah that her parents disapprove of them signing. Azizah understood that and as a wife, she tried to comfort her grieving husband.

"It's okay, Dad. The sign is they still think of us. You are patient yes, I am sure someday what we want can be achieved and you can be their proud child" Azizah told her husband.

"Yes, Bun. I'm sorry Dad, you're patient too. Hold on for a minute, I promise I'll fight harder for our happiness later," said Jerry.

They strengthen each other, because they believe, one day Azizah and Jerry's efforts will pay off with satisfactory results. God is always with them, that is what is always planted in his heart.
