Lay With The Devil's

Is Mother Merestui?

Sarah stared at a large picture frame with their photo there. Said Jaka, candid photos taken by Axel quite cool. He then took her to a photo printing press to print it. And Jaka scored it big.

Isn't this too much...

Sarah has just been left by two people called Jaka to put her up.

For five minutes Sarah stood there watching the photo.

Over and over like I'm not. Sandra's make up is amazing...

Sarah then left the living room and went into her room. He took his phone. There were two missed calls from Jaka. He called her back.

This is My Husband 😍

📞 Hello...

📞 Hi baby... are you busy? Have you had lunch?

📞 Not yet... I just delivered. Maybe it'll be here soon...

📞 Alright...

📞 What's up? Tumben working hours haunt me... You miss ya...

📞 I always miss you baby. I called you to get you ready. We'll eat out later tonight.

📞 Both? Baby.you're not tired... Eat at home...

📞 Okay... But I brought guests...

📞 Really? Wh who?

📞 Mother

Jaka enjoys Sarah's shock. Although they ended up having dinner at home, Jaka had ordered some kind of food from his favorite restaurant.

※※※

Sarah tidied up the clothes her husband was wearing. She also dresses simple but still elegant. She didn't want to look bad in her mother-in-law's eyes.

Last afternoon, Sarah almost cried because Jaka insisted that her mother would not be angry with them. But he was still afraid. Afraid that her mother-in-law felt unwelcome.

Jaka manages to convince Sarah that her mother isn't like that.

"Are you okay?" She hugged Sarah.

"Good... You're dangerous if you get too close..." Sarah pushes Jaka's chest field. The man backed off.

Right after, their doorbell rang.

"Mother's coming..." Sarah whispers.

Jaka opened the door. Sure enough, there was already Mother Ningsih and Paul behind her.

Paul does not seem surprised by the presence of Sarah next to Jaka. Not so with Mother Ningsih. The woman looked surprised. But he did not comment a word.

Jaka went in following his mother.

Sarah herself was still standing at the door.

"Aren't you in?" ask Sarah to Paul.

"I didn't think you guys were actually getting married this fast. I thought it was just my feelings..."

"That's... Well... Next time we'll tell you. Please pray I don't become a widow tonight..."

Paul smiled. He patted Sarah's left arm.

"I'm pretty sure that Madame Ningsih is on your side..."

"Thank you..."

They enjoy the variety on the table.

Chines food as her mother likes it.

"I'm sorry it's just like this..." Sarah was sitting next to Jaka. In front of her, her mother-in-law still said nothing.

Sarah nudged her husband's leg.

"Mom, Jaka and Sarah wanted to apologize in advance..."

"Because of going against your father's orders or for getting married without our knowledge?" Ibu Ningsih to the point.

"Is mom angry?" Jaka frowned.

"More to disappointment. How can on such an important day you not invite mother. But I am quite familiar given the situation. Your own father would not approve..." Mother Ningsih explained.

"Mother herself, does it bless us?" Jaka was curious even though he knew his mother always sided with him.

Mother Ningsih nodded and smiled. Sarah breathes a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry it had to be like this..." Sarah tried to talk.

"Is Sarah pregnant? Jaka!?" mother Ningsih asked half-curious half-angry.

The question succeeded in making Sarah choke on her drink.

"Darling! That okay?" Jaka patted his wife's back slowly.

Sarah smile.

"No ma'am... He's even coming months when we get married..." Jaka explained. Sarah nudged Jaka's leg again.

Her husband is too honest.

Ningsih's mother laughed at Jaka's explanation.

The dinner was relaxing. Sarah is happy because it turns out that the nature of her mother-in-law who used to be very good to her, has not changed.

"Darling, you and your husband should give Mother a granddaughter right away. Only Jaka hasn't given us any grandchildren. You know it..." Her mother-in-law explained. Maybe he doesn't remember an Indra Sanjaya.

Sarah smiled shyly.

※※※

The three of them were sitting quietly in the living room. Sarah's mother-in-law continued to look at their new photo on the set this afternoon.

It seems like Jaka deliberately made the photo so big...

Sarah daydreams.

Ningsih's mother then sat down next to Sarah.

"How did your father react when Jaka came there?" apparently Ningsih's mother was quite impressed with their story.

"Yes, I was opposed at first, but when I found out the candidate was very serious, he made the request..." Sarah refused to mention that marriage was a condition.

"Jaka too reckless, son... Aren't you afraid your father's wrath?"

"Regarding that, ma'am... Jaka wants to ask you something..."

Jaka pulled out his phone and opened the inbox that Tobias had sent him this afternoon.

Ningsih's mother only shook her head as she read it.

"Mom sure that's not your father... Even if he challenges you, he won't bring personal problems into that." Ningsih's mother returned Jaka's phone.

Sarah herself had also read the message after Jaka returned from the office earlier.

"What about Mr Maulana?" tanya Jaka remembered the man. His own son still lives in his company.

"He wouldn't dare," Mother Ningsih was very sure.

Jaka then sent the message to his mother. Ningsih's mother would ask her directly to her husband. It was time for him to come forward and defend his son and daughter-in-law. If Sarah's parents could forget their problems, how could her husband not?

Ningsih's mother hugged Sarah for so long. He will go home with his driver - Yono-who has already picked up.

"Where's your wedding ring?" mother Ningsih asked as her embrace came off "Has Jaka been that poor to give you a wedding ring?" mother Ningsih looks to frown.

"Mother..." Jaka protest.

"Ah, that's. I asked him to leave this morning. Afraid to question people. If it had Sarah. Almost lost while washing the dishes..." Sarah tried to explain.

"alright... Sarah don't hesitate to tell mom that Jaka messed with you. It's good he got you, rather than the spoiled son his father chose..."

Sarah nodded. The couple then drove their mother to the front of the pickup car.

There was only a feeling of relief that they felt at this moment.
