Kasya looked at Ranti dearly, she could only smile with gratitude. He was determined in his heart once he got another job, he would give the money to Ranti. However, Ranti's husband's income is also not high, Ranti must take care of two children and also parents.
"Yes... Don't think too much. I know what you're thinking here." Said Ranti while pointing at her own head. "Let's taste the rib soup."
Ranti sees that Kasya is still daydreaming, she immediately hands over the soup spoon and puts it in Kasya's mouth. Kasya took the soup spoon from Ranti's hand and sipped her ribs. "Wowwww... The soup made by you is too delicious, you should open a restaurant!" Kasya said excessively with a face like the first time you eat well.
"Hahaha.your mouth is sweet! Eat more, you're so skinny now." Ranti looked sadly at Kasya remembering her struggle.
"It's your cooking, of course I have to eat." Kasya slightly melow did not feel her tears fall.
Ranti who saw him crying immediately hugged his best friend. " Hey, why are you turning whiny again. You still have me, I'm not going anywhere. Will always be with you." Ranti said while patting her back.
The laughing scene and the tears in the kitchen ended, they were preparing to take him to the dining table.
Without them realizing the conversation they both reached Gayatri's ears. He snorted with a dissatisfied expression on his wrinkled face.
"Had expected, this Kasya doesn't look like someone who's about to be made a loss. No wonder he could spend money on souvenirs, it turned out that all the money for his son's living expenses here had been returned to him!" Mumbled.
"Grandmother, is Grandma playing hide-and-seek?" Gayatri did not know that Marsya was standing behind her and was looking at her with her innocent eyes.
Ranti and Kasya heard Marsya's words coming from outside the kitchen door, both shocked to see Gayatri sticking her ears on the door leaf.
Gayatri looked towards the confused Ranti and Kasya, she instantly widened her smile. "I'm looking for a cloth, the table is too dirty. Was it never cleaned? Oi! Where's that rag?" Gayatri said as she left as if looking for cloth.
"Mom, Mama. Grandma was squatting there, it wasn't like she was looking for cloth." Marsya who was hugging her Barbie innocently said.
After hearing Marsya say that, of course Ranti and Kasya instantly knew that Gayatri had come to eavesdrop on the conversation of the two of them. The two of them looked at each other in understanding and Ranti shook her head.
Kasya also did not mind him because he realized that his best friend was in a very tiring situation. She lives with conservative and superior in-laws, her husband doesn't care much about his wife.

"Come on my Ajeng, eat big shrimp let you grow tall." Gayatri gets shrimp for Marsya.
"Come, this is Byan's favorite meat." Ranti took it for Byan.
"Ckckck... Is my Ajeng really his biological son? Isn't it weird taking care of someone else's child in front of your own!" Gayatri quipped Ranti.
Everyone who was eating of course heard him, Bagas ignored him and continued to put food in his mouth. Ranti just smiled awkwardly, pretending not to hear it.
Kasya a little can't stand it, has Ranti's mother-in-law always treated Ranti like this? Has Ranti been depressed all this time? In addition to seeing the attitude of his mother-in-law, it does not seem like Byan lives here. What's he supposed to do now?
As Kasya thought about her problem, Gayatri spoke again. "Miss Kasya, have you paid the living expenses of your son and his school? You also know my son's income isn't high, nor should you raise Ajeng and take care of him."
"I-" Kasya bit her lip, unable to answer because Ranti's in-law had indeed heard all the talk in the kitchen.
"Auntie, I'll transfer it to Ranti's bank account immediately." Kasha finally said it.
"Well, Miss Kasha. Not because I'm unreasonable, but everything has to be clear. Gini day is useless to be too polite. So-" Her words were cut off.
"Auntie.: I understand and will pay for it soon." Kasya smiled at Gayatri and held everything back.
"Yes, there's no need... " Ranti pats Kasya's hand.
"Ran, don't talk!" Kasya quickly cut him off, shaking his head.
Kasya hopes that Ranti does not fight with her Mother-in-law, because after all, the problem of Mother-in-law is a problem that is difficult to solve. He doesn't want Ranti to get into trouble because of her.
While Ranti looked at the expression of anger that Kasya was holding back, she was also instantly burned in anger.
Ranti looked at her husband Bagas who was still pretending not to hear everything and just ate without saying a word.
Now that the atmosphere at the dining table had suddenly become tense, even the little Byan noticed this serious atmosphere.
"Grandma, I want to eat some more shrimp." Suddenly Marsya made a sound.
"Well, Grandma will-" Gayatri's words were cut off again.
This time Bagas hit the dining table hard, the plates and glasses on the table until they shook.
"Son, what's wrong with you?" Ask Gayatri.
"I'm eating, why are you kicking my leg!?" Bagas polototti Ranti.
When Gayatri heard it, she immediately looked towards Ranti. "Replace! Why are you kicking my son's leg!?" Snarled.
At this moment Ranti finally could not bear it anymore, she took a deep breath and looked at the Mother-in-law and her husband.
"First, Bagas was my husband. The thing between husband and wife, please Mother-in-law do not interrupt. Second, in this house both inside and outside all I set it up. My income is also higher than my husband's, so if I say I won't accept Kasya's money then I won't take it." Say it firmly.
"Ranti, what do you mean by that. I'm your mother-in-law, do I have to get permission from you to say something before I say it?!" Gayatri was immediately angry when she heard Ranti's words. "You understand how to respect the old man!"
"We have to respect each other, I treat my friends who I consider my family like this. So my attitude towards Mom seems to be understandable." Answer's calm.
"Ran.. enough." Kasya.
"See, it's okay." Ranti then took Kasya's hand and smiled reassuringly.
Ranti also did not stand the attitude of her mother-in-law who always felt superior.
Ranti then whispered to Kasha. "Yes, the money is, after all, save it. If you don't listen to me, you're giving up on my mother-in-law, which means you're unfaithful to me. You have to stand with me!"
Kasya looked at Ranti hesitantly, while Ranti looked again at her mother-in-law and husband at the dinner table.
"Kasya, remember. I won't take the money." Her speech.
Finally Kasya who saw Ranti's firm attitude nodded, she planned to help Ranti first at this time, but the money would of course still be returned to Ranti.
Gayatri's anger instantly exploded, her daughter-in-law who was originally very respectful of her suddenly became very haughty.
"My son, look. Your wife doesn't respect me at all! You're not gonna say a word?" Gayatri take refuge on Bagas.
"Oh, Mum. Can we rest for a minute." Said Bagas still did not care.
Bagas pretends not to see him when his mother bullies Ranti, now his wife is fighting her mother he has nothing to say. He was too lazy to take care of his mother and wife's affairs, he allowed them to settle on their own. He stood up and went to his room.
"I don't want to live anymore! My son and daughter-in-law are all unfilial. The child I had so hard to raise didn't want me anymore! What good am I to live. I'm just gonna die!" His shouting.
Of course, people who are always oppressed can also be oppressive. If I knew it would be like this, I should have said it from the start! Ranti said in her heart.
While Byan who saw and understood the atmosphere, increasingly wanted to leave the house.
Kasya looked at Byan who was secretly eating but looking down, she knew what her son was thinking. Of course it also motivated him to work hard, make money and take Byan away as soon as possible. But he can't take her now, because he's still afraid that Randika will find out if she brings Byan to Jakarta.
