My In-laws
Chapters 18. Lara's Grief
Many days Lara was crying and sad, not expecting Fadli to dare to complain, she just realized Fadli rarely came home there was someone accompanying her, and Lara remembered the fragrance of perfume with the same aroma.
Incidentally this week Fadli did not come home, Lara did not care, he knew there Fadli was happier with a city woman who must be beautiful and more modern than him.
Lara thought she wanted to go home to her parents, but on the other hand she could not bear to leave Mother Najah lying helpless even though there was Bi Leha who guarded her, but it was not her right to exist at all times.
"Lara, what would you do if Fadli came home later?" bi Leha asked Lara.
"I'm asking for a divorce, Bi!" lara answered briefly.
"Don't!" Ban Bi Leha.
"But I don't want to be pitted, Bi!" Reply Lara sissily.
"Take your husband back from that woman!" Bi Leha's Order.
"I don't have the guts to compete, Bi! I better back off!" lara.
"Don't give up, you're pregnant, fight for your child's right to be the heir of this family's descendants!" bi Leha.
"I'll take care of my son alone without Fadli and his family!" Lara is determined to take care of her son later even as a single parent.
"Are you not in love with your son's fate? One day he'll need his father!" Bi Leha tried to defend Lara's household from being destroyed.
Lara pensively pervaded Bi Leha's words, it's true because her son will definitely need the affection and responsibility of a father, especially if the child is a girl.
His determination to become a single parent seems to be undo, because his selfishness will be a disaster for his son later. Lara retracted her words and intended to stay in any situation.
"I'll fight for my son's rights, Bi!" Lara.
"You must be strong! Don't get crushed by the situation." Bi Leha encouraged Lara. "Fadli has no brain, the wife at home painstakingly takes care of her parents, whereas there she has fun with other women! Watch out later if I come home to teach you a lesson, really don't know yourself." Bi Leha growled furiously at Fadli.
Lara took a deep breath trying hard even though she was very fragile and slumped, her dream of living in the city someday disappeared instantly, faded after hearing Fadli married again. Initially he hoped that if the mother of Najah healed, he would catch up with Fadli of the city, but his wish vanished before it became real. Lara wiped away the tears that had soaked her cheeks.
Fadil did not have the courage to explain about Fadli's marriage, he chose to return to the city when the semester holiday had not ended.
The condition of the mother of Najah no development, remains as it was, the citizens predict his condition will be forever like that as long as his black magic is still not passed on to others.
Lara is actually tired every day to meet Baga fleas, maggots and unpleasant smells released from the body of her in-laws. But Lara is still devoted to the in-laws despite her husband's wishes, maybe other women will not be able to be in Lara's position, whether what makes Lara can survive as a wife and daughter-in-law in the house.
The boy! Yes, that's the main reason Lara keeps her household.
A month passed after Lara learned of Fadli's marriage, during which time Fadli did not visit the village, he advised a resident who works as an inter-county driver that he could not go home because the task could not be abandoned. Lara knew the reason Fadli was lying, it was because Fadli was being drunk in love with his young wife.
Lara was very disappointed with Fadli's increasingly cold attitude and loss of responsibility, she confirmed Bi Leha's remarks to be able to reclaim her husband from his young wife.
At first Lara let Fadli not go home, until finally Fadli used to lie, the pregnancy has run 9 months, soon she gave birth, this time there is no good terror from the mother of Najah, the mother of Najah, or kuyang villagers, or neighboring villages. Her fetus is safe but her heart and feelings are not safe.
The weekend has arrived, Lara was not as happy as before waiting for Saturday, now that day for her is no different from ordinary days, her lover is no longer there, even though it comes but it is not for her.
"Darling, sorry I couldn't make it in a month, so much office work, that I couldn't take a break" Fadli lied to Lara.
"It's okay, what's important is that you're good and healthy there!" lara smiled faintly.
"Why are you moody? Usually cheerful! Are you sick?" fadli asked as he fumbled Lara's forehead to see if she was okay.
"I'm in good health!" lara answered short.
"You're sick, let me take you to the hospital! Or maybe you'll be born?!" Fadli said between confusion and happiness.
"There's still two weeks left! Doctor's prediction, I'll be born later this month!" Obviously Lara was however not as excited as Fadli could feel.
"You seem tired, or not feeling well? Your eyes I'm not excited, let's fall down! Don't cook today, buy outside!" Fadli suggested that Lara not work much.
"Yes, I didn't cook today!" said Lara flat.
"Where's Bi Leha? Going home?" Ask Fadli.
"Yes, he shouldn't be here, just because he's like me and mom, so he's willing to do it! When you came, he went home to see his grandson!" obviously Lara.
"Hmmm I owe a lot to Bi Leha, she's so nice!" Gumam Fadli was unaware of what had happened to Bi Leha ever since he knew he was married.
"Yes, I've been to the bathroom to wash my mother's clothes, so much has not been washed!" Lara said no like usual sitting with Fadli.
"Later, baby! I miss you, sit with me!" pinta Fadli is the most loyal.
"Can't, your clothes have been stacking up for a long time!" Lara refused and went to the bathroom without looking at Fadli.
Fadli looked at her until she entered the bathroom, he felt that there was something strange about Lara, but because of what?! Fadli could not guess, "Did Lara know I was married? No way, she knows where?" ask Fadli inwardly.
Fadli went to meet the mother of Najah in his room, the old figure of the mother was very concerned, stiff like a useless dead wood. Fadli just stared at his mother who was now helpless again. "Arghrghrgrhgrh arghrghrgrh arghrghrgrhgrh" mother Najah growled.
"What does Mommy want to say? Don't worry about Fadli, you're calm here!" fadli said to his mother.
Fadli saw creeping bedbugs welcomed by the mother of Najah, a lot like nesting there, not to mention the maggots on her feet, one by one out from under ************* the mother, not to mention the maggots on her feet, the maggot came out of his vitals. Whether it is the doom or the effects of black magic. Fadli could not stop thinking about his mother's condition.
The hatred for his father came again by the terrible and disgusting condition of the mother of Najah. "Dad, if you hadn't cheated on my mother, none of this would have happened" Fadli's inner self in his heart, but he just realized that he was doing the same thing to Lara. What if Lara finds out someday?!
Fadli is confused, he hates his father, but himself does what his father has done to his mother. If he cannot forgive his father, he cannot forgive himself. Fadli is in a dilemma.
Sunday night passed by Fadli not as beautiful as usual, he felt Lara was very bland to him since the beginning of his arrival this afternoon. "Maybe Lara knew I was married, so she was bland to me, but who did she know from? Did Fadil come yesterday to tell you about my marriage?" questions popped up filled Fadli's mind. "If so, Lara should act like that to me!" Fadli started to get upset.
"Arghrghrgrhgrh arghrghrgrhgrh arghrghrgrhgrh" The growl of the mother of Najah dissolved the reverie of Fadli.
Bedbugs scattered on his face, with difficulty Fadli cleaned it, he just knew this how it felt Lara every day taking care of her dirty and disgusting mother. A great sense of guilt arose in his heart, regretting that he had blessed a wife who loved him so much, but the rice had become porridge.
