JERK LOVE LADY NIGHT

Seeds, Ducks and Weights (Not Level)

"The woman in front of Mother now, Melia, she's Mother's daughter-in-law, Antara's wife." Weni was flabbergasted, like lightning in broad daylight when she heard the words of the child.

"Don't joke between, since when did you get married? Mother just doesn't know! How could you be married!" A sense of disbelief still enveloped the middle-aged woman's mind.

"Yesterday, Bun. Yesterday afternoon exactly Antara had said ijab qobul. And we're here to apologize to Mommy for not telling you first. Everything happened so fast that Antara did not have time to ask for Mother's blessing."

"No! Don't mess around, Between. Marriage is not a game. Now tell me who that woman is!"

Between sighing for a moment before answering the mother's question. "I told you, Bun, Melia is Antara's wife, Mother's daughter-in-law now!" Between continuing to convince the Mother if Melia is his wife.

"How can you get married? Mother is not there to give you your blessing!"

"I'm Bun's man, there's no rule of marriage without parents it's not legal. As long as our marriage terms are met, it's legal in the eyes of religion." Between continues to explain that her marriage to Melia is really happening.

"You know if your actions have hurt your mother's heart! You married without telling Mother, especially not asking for Mother's blessing, so! Then why don't you come when you have children, huh!!" Weni was furious with the unilateral decision her son had taken.

"Therefore we are here to apologize and give news to Mother and ask for blessing. Pray for us to keep our household happy" he asked.

"No! Mother disagrees, we just don't know the intricacies of the woman," Weni pointed to Melia, making Melia more downcast. "Bibit, bebet and weight did not know yet, how could she be my daughter-in-law, what people say later!" Weni.

"Sorry, Bun. But like it not like, inevitably Melia has become Antara's wife. And that means he is also already the daughter-in-law of Mother. May your mother hold her chest and accept this reality." Pungkas Antara's.

"Once Mother says no yes no." Pekik Weni after that she went inside her room.

It suddenly made both eyes of Melia foggy and almost fell when Antara stroked the wife's shoulders. "I'm sorry to say, Mother yes, dear. Maybe he's still in shock to hear this."

Melia could only nod and be patient about her in-laws' rejection of her. He kept remembering the mother's message.

Now you have not only one mother, but 2. So I hope you can also love and respect Mother-in-law later as you love and respect Mother.

Melia immediately wiped away the tears that had fallen without excuse earlier. "Yes, Mas. I'm okay, you're right to say that Mother is still disappointed with us. Hopefully Mother can soon accept our marriage yes, Mas."

"Aamiin," they said at the same time. Without them noticing a pair of eyes looking at Melia sharply, hearing the hope Melia spoke.

"I'll never accept a daughter-in-law like you. I'll make you give up on being my daughter-in-law." Inner Weni, she smiled meaningfully looking at Melia from afar.

...……...

Dinner time arrived, now the three of them, Melia, Antara and Weni were already sitting sweetly in their respective chairs, with Antara sitting in front, Melia and Weni were sitting opposite each other. Since the last time they spoke, neither Antara, Melia nor Weni have greeted each other. Be their dinner so quiet and peaceful that Weni suddenly asked Bik Neni, their maid.

"Sir, is this you cooking?" Bik Nani shook her head slowly.

"Then! Do you buy food at restaurants? Who told you to! Just cook as usual, after all people here are the same as usual, nothing special" said Weni pressing a special word at the end of her sentence.

"Yes, New. This I don't buy outside, where dare I." Bik Nani scratched her non-itchy nape.

"So? If you don't cook, don't buy outside! Where is this food from? What a neighbor!"

Again, Bik Nani shook her head making Weni glare. "Actually the one who cooked today Young Madam, His. This is all Madam Melia's cooking." said slowly Bik Nani, even more like mumbling so scared.

Weni looked at Melia who was looking down, afraid that her mother-in-law would be angry with her. "Damn it, she's smart to cook it, it tastes like food in an expensive restaurant."

"Mother first to the room," Weni interrupted.

"Well, Bun. Mother's food is still on her plate, not finished yet." exclaimed Antara saw there is still leftover food on her plate.

"Done!" Weni answered him curtly then passed and returned to her room on the 2nd floor.

Between shaking slowly seeing the behavior of the Mother. Melia was sighing long when she felt that the in-laws did not like her cooking.

After dinner, Antara and Melia are in the living room, watching while enjoying a warm cake and tea is a routine they always do after lunch or dinner.

"Bik.." call Antara, "Please call Mommy yes, say that I brought her favorite cake!"

"Good, sir." In less than 2 minutes, Bik Nani returned to the living room. But without Weni behind him.

"Loh! Which mother, Bik?" ask Between.

"The lady didn't answer, sir. After eating earlier till now the big madam hasn't left the room." Bright Bik Nani.

"Is it because there's me, Mum!" Melia chimed in on the chatter between Antara and Bik Nani. They both looked towards Melia.

Between looking at the wife and smiling widely. "Not used to it, honey. They will get used to it too. I went to Mommy's room first, who knows if I called Mommy to come out." Tutur Antara then moved from his seat and walked towards the room of the Mother.

While Antara was persuading Weni, Melia took the initiative to the kitchen and brought cakes and warm tea for the in-laws.

Not yet had Melia knocked on the door, Melia had heard the quarrel of her husband and in-laws from between the door that was not tightly closed.

Mother disappointed with you, Between. If indeed you want to get married, why have you always rejected candidates who Mother offers you, why! Why Between?

All the candidates that Mother offers you are women who are clear seeds, bebet and weights. All from well-respected families, your career will accelerate if you are willing to marry one of the women that Mother chooses for you. Conscious Between, aware! We live in need of encouragement to be able to rise to the top, rise to a higher level than now.

Your wife, what was her name, Melia. Which family is he from? What company does his parents have? What graduates? Do you know it all!

But I love Melia, Bun. And not because of the fucking drugs! He will also marry her. She is different Bun, different from the women that Mother has been introducing me to.

Love can arise from habituation, son! Money is not everything, but money can make us happy and not live hard as before.

Anyway Mother still does not want to consider Melia is Mother's daughter-in-law, she is not as level as us.

Melia's chest rumbled as it felt a faint crumble. The tears that he had been holding back from now on could no longer be contained. The hand that was about to open the door knob of the room was undone because it did not want to be seen crying in front of the husband and mother-in-law. Melia gave a tray containing cakes and warm tea that she had prepared to Bik Nani who was walking towards her.

With a slight bow, Melia handed the tray over. "Sir, please deliver this cake and tea to Mother in the room." The word of Melia who was nodded by Bik Nani.

He immediately ran into his room, spilling all the claustrophobic in his heart.

"Mom, Mom, Melia's missing!" lirih Melia interrupted Isak's cry.
