Pitted Because of Will

DKW 27 - Determined

In the evening, Bima gathered his two wives, mother, and aunt Ayu in the living room. She wants to tell everyone especially her mother about her plans that want to legalize her marriage to Ayu by country.

"What did you tell Mama to come here? You said there was an important announcement you wanted to tell Mama?" asked Vena after sitting on the long sofa that was in the living room.

"Ma, the purpose of Bima invited Mama here to tell me that I and Nisa agreed to legalize my and Ayu's marriage in a state manner," Bima replied carefully.

"What?!" Vena was surprised to hear the answer from her only son. "Nis, do you really agree with this?" ask Vena to her daughter-in-law.

"Yes, Ma," Nisa replied expressionlessly.

"Why? What reason? Didn't you forbid Bima to do that before? You even threatened to ask cheerfully from Bima, if the marriage of Bima is legalized by the law of the country? Did something happen that you didn't know?" cecar Veins.

Nisa looked at Bima for a moment. "Nothing, Ma. I.. I just feel unfair if the marriage of Mas Bima and Ayu is not legalized, pity Ayu," replied Nisa.

"Bima didn't threaten you, did he?" again the Veins asked. He did not want if his favorite son-in-law was hurt inwardly.

Nisa was silent for a long time, but a few minutes later she replied, "No, Ma. It was both of us."

"Then Mama doesn't mind either" said Vena.

"E... sorry before, but as Ayu's aunt takes over from her late mother Ayu, I would like to ask you one thing for me." Aunt Meta suddenly spoke.

"Work what?" ask Vein.

"I want a grand reception party for my nephew" replied Aunt Meta.

"Whatever, Ma. I'm tired and I want to rest. Excuse me." Nisa would rather go back to her room than answer that question. Not only was his physique tired, his mind was also tired. If not for the sake of his three best friends, surely Nisa has chosen to run away from home and claim divorce with a husband who now trusts his second wife more.

Vena chases Nisa to the front of her daughter-in-law's room.

"Nis, what's the matter? Tell me about Mama!" Veins held her daughter-in-law's wrists.

"No, nothing, Ma. I told you I just felt tired and wanted to rest. Mama just do all their wishes" said Nisa.

"But, Nis.... "

"Ma, yes. Nisa's going to rest." After saying that Nisa went inside her room.

Nisa sat in front of the dressing table in her room. He stared at the reflection of himself in the mirror.

"You suck, Nisa! You let your pride be trampled by her second husband and wife? Is this just your struggle to maintain your pride?" Nisa asked herself.

"No! I must not be weak like this, if Mas Bima threatens to fire my friends I should be able to find another solution. But, what?" Nisa begins to think of ways to get her friends out of her husband's company before they are dishonorably fired.

"Am I just trying to find a job? If I can get a job in a good company and can attract my friends from Mas Bima company to my new workplace, I can sue Mas Bima without fear of her threat again. Yes, from tomorrow I will look for a job in a company that is bigger than the company owned by Mas Bima. Got to! Nisa's spirit! This time you will succeed and you will definitely be able to save the economy of your friends too!" Nisa cheers herself.

"Darling, you also have to be strong. Pray that your plan will work" Nisa muttered as she rubbed her stomach.
