Meet Mama-in-law

...°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°...

...Most of what makes humans is not not a disease, but a burden of the mind that slowly eats away at every cell in the body.......

...###...

"Where are you going?", Rea asked after seeing if Levi's chosen path was not to go to the shopping center. Didn't that guy take her out shopping. Levi changed his mind. Where Levi would take him.

"To Mama's house", Levi replied with a focus on the road in front of him.

Rea nodded briefly, but a second later the girl's pupils widened instantly. What did he say. To Mama's house, Mama?.

Mama means the woman who gave birth to Levi, right?. In a real sense it is her mother-in-law.

Jesus, for the first time Rea will come to visit her mother-in-law without bringing anything. If only he had been called an ungodly son-in-law. Then Rea will hit Levi if he can die. Because that guy told her suddenly.

"How much?", asked Rea again. Trying to negotiate. At least until his nervousness was gone after washing his eyes in the mall.

Levi glanced at Rea through the corner of his eyes and replied, "Go home from there."

Rea snorted while playing his fingers that were above the thighs. Stare at the side of the car window in agitation.

His frustration with Levi, which had begun to disappear, was now back on fire. It felt like Rea hit Levi's head with a hammer. Let it be ruined.

Not long after, Levi's car stopped in the courtyard of a luxurious and magnificent house. Makes Rea's fear even worse.

"Let's get off", take Levi along while opening the car door. But seeing Rea who was just sitting silent, made the man undo his intention to go down.

Feeling understood by his wife's anxiety, Levi then took one hand Rea and grasped it.

"Don't be afraid, Mama's good."

Rea looked up and looked at Levi who was also looking at him.

Should Rea trust that chameleon-like guy. Its nature changes all the time. Makes it difficult for Rea to recognize her own husband.

"We prove it" said Rea and let go of his hand. Get down first from the car.

Levi silently smiled faintly. Funny, seeing a nervous Rea like that.

Girls who used to be indifferent to the surrounding environment. Now she was trembling with fear because she wanted to meet her mother-in-law.

"Remain", Levi pulls Rea's hand to get inside the house.

But Rea did not move at all from his place. Levi turned to the pregnant woman.

"Why?", asked Levi.

Rea looked at Levi with a cold sweaty face, "Watch a breath first can't you?."

Hearing the plain question that came out of his wife's mouth was eager to feel Levi laughing. Coupled with the face of Rea who was frightened like seeing a ghost. Very supportive.

"Have you taken a breath?", asked Levi after seeing Rea who was silent staring at the floor.

"Wind first can?."

"Aren't you eating?", Levi stared at the flat at his wife.

"If bo-"

"No way", without waiting any longer Levi immediately pulled Rea's hand to immediately enter the house.

Rea who followed from behind could only duck while following where Levi's steps took him. He was afraid to meet with David and get back insults and insults.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma."

Rea took his hand off Levi and stood behind the man by playing his fingers. After they arrive in a room that Rea believes if it is Mama's room Levi.

"Waallaikumussalam", sounds a soft voice that reconciles.

"Mama healthy?", Levi sat next to Ayla, her mother who was sitting leaning on the headboard.

"Alhamdulillah", said the middle-aged woman.

Rea could only look down while hearing the conversation of the pair of children and the mother.

It's nothing, Rea is just afraid that her Mama Levi will be like her Papa who refuses her very harsh presence. Even insulting him with words that can be mentally damaging. Killed him verbally.

Rea just wants to have a good relationship with her in-laws.

"Levi, you want Mama to be scared" said Ayla who seemed angry at her son.

"Mama's daughter-in-law is a mute person", said Levi who made Rea curse in the heart.

Ayla hit Levi softly on the head, "You, there's no way a pretty girl like this is mute. You're the blind one."

"Here, sitting near Mama", Ayla patted the bed next to her that had been occupied by Levi. He told Rea to sit down near him.

Making Rea awkwardly move towards her mother-in-law and sit beside her.

Then the girl took Ayla's hand. Kissing the back of the hand that feels so weak.

Ayla who received such treatment also gasped. Didn't expect that her daughter-in-law was a very polite woman.

In this day and age, women who are polite and have an attitude are rarely found, is not it. Like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Your name must be Rea, it fits the person, it's loving" Ayla said, making Rea smile awkwardly. This was beyond Rea's expectations, she thought that her mother-in-law was the type of person who always wanted to win by herself. Looking at the daughter-in-law as a maid. More in favor of his son. Like most mother-in-laws in soap operas.

"Sorry Mama can't be at your wedding", Ayla showed a sad look. Made Rea instantly reply quickly.

"It's okay M-ma", Rea is still a little clumsy to call her mother-in-law.

Seeing the smooth interaction between his wife and mother, Levi then sighed in relief.

Actually Levi had long wanted to bring Rea to meet Ayla. But her mom just got back from America two days ago. To undergo routine treatment. And Levi was also looking for the right time, where David was not at home. Levi is lazy to meet his Papa's.

Then the ringing sound of his phone made two different generations of women suddenly look at him.

Levi picked up his phone in his pants pocket. See who's calling him. Then he looked at Ayla and Rea who were also staring at him.

"A little while" the boy said goodbye and walked out of his Mama's room.

Rea who saw that also let out a short breath. This is the third call this morning. Or maybe more.

Actually Rea's no problem. But the question is why Levi had to lift the call away from him. Levi never usually does that.

"Sorry Levi is dear" said Ayla. He is angry when Levi explains how his marriage could have happened. Ayla never thought that her son could do that.

Rea flinched as she felt her hand on elus gently by Ayla. Staring at her mother-in-law with a faint smile.

"Mama also does not know why Levi can change like that. Sluggish and frantic. Levi was once a very expressive child. Whatever he can and experiences will always tell Mama. But the boy changed since his Papa left us" Ayla said, looking ahead. It was like looking at the past that had already passed.

Rea frowned confusedly. Since her Papa left. That means that he died?. But isn't David Levi's real father.

"Are you referring to Ma?", asked Rea curiously.

Ayla smiled and clasped her daughter-in-law's hand.

"The mother is not a real person here. Mama's from Turkey and moved here."

Rea understood a little, it was fitting that the woman did not look like Indonesian women in general.

Have a clean white skin. His nose is thick. Her gray eyes were sparkling beautifully. And his face is like those on the eastern side of the earth. Very pretty and graceful.

"We lived next door to Levi's Papa's house back then. Space Leon Devora, a very good man. She's the only person who wants to bring Mama to mingle with her surroundings. Patiently teaching Mama a language and culture that at that time was very foreign to Mama. Even she was never absent to come home", Ayla smiled as she recalled the sweet times of her life.

Rea slightly widened her eyes hearing Ayla's words.

Don't tell me if Papa Levi's birthplace is Space. Not David.

Rea does know that the Levi family is the owner of Angkasa High School. But she never thought that her husband himself was the son of the original owner.

"It turns out that closeness even brings up feelings that make us attached. After ten years of dating, we decided to get married. Everything goes smoothly until the accident takes the life of the man you love most. Forced to take a father from his six-year-old son. Traumatizing Levi and continuing to confine himself in the room", tears involuntarily flowed away as he recalled his initially harmonious household life ending tragically.

"Seeing Levi who was in shock lost his Papa. David asked his mother two years later. For Levi's sake, Mama accepted Mama's sister-in-law's proposal. But David is not like Space. If Angkasa is a patient man, then David is different. The man is more tempramatic. Levi rarely wanted to go home. He often stays at his Uncle's house or at his Grandpa's."

"Mama wanted to end the relationship. But David madly threatens to kill Levi as well as Mama's parents. What can you do, other than hang on and be quiet."

Rea rubbed Ayla's trembling back. She could feel the sadness felt by her mother-in-law. Her tears just fell down too.

"Don't tell Levi, Rea. It's all just with you Mama dare to tell a story."

Rea nodded and hugged Ayla's weak body helplessly. Two women from different generations shed tears. Pouring all the sadness and hurt they experienced.
