Scandal at the House of In-Law

Marino's Regret

The next day Khadijah went to work as usual. He ignored the call from Marino.

"Khadija, why don't you listen to me?" ask Marino.

"I'm sorry if it's not a job, don't talk about it in the office" Khadija replied.

"Later tonight I'll come see your Abah" said Marino.

"You're late sir, where were you last night?" khadijah asked, entering his room.

Marino was pensive in front of Khadijah's room.

"So big brother over there?" ask Bara who just came.

"I failed to meet Khadijah's brother last night. Finally he accepted another man's proposal" replied Marino.

"Don't you say you were ready for Khadijah's house last night? Why can it fail?" ask Bara.

"Saskia came, she gave me a stimulant drug and finally we did," Marino replied.

"You're too careless, brother. It is only fitting that Khadijah would prefer someone else to apply. Especially if Khadija knows you didn't come because of such dirty things" Bara said.

Marino regrets failing to meet Khadijah's brother. He was afraid of losing Khadija. Regrets always come later.

This morning Khadijah had told his brother that he had accepted Umar's proposal. His brother came to the residence of Umar to convey this.

Although Marino was sorry but it was too late. Khadijah no longer wished for him. For Khadija, men who dare to fornicate are not worth fighting for. It is likely to be repeated after marriage.

Edwin met Jeslyn at his house. He never feared Jeslyn's parents.

"Jeslyn...how are you?" ask Edwin.

"Edwin, why are you here. Go home with mom and dad!" expel Jeslyn.

"How has the seed I seed grown?" ask Edwin confidently.

"Seed you will never grow in my womb" replied Jeslyn.

"Who's Jes?" ask Helena.

Helena saw Edwin immediately put on a fierce face. He did not like Edwin's arrival.

"Jeslyn's in!" ask Helena.

Jeslyn goes into the house, now living Helena and Edwin.

"Don't bother my son!" snapped Helena. "A bad guy like you doesn't deserve my son" Helena said.

"If Jeslyn gets pregnant, won't you ask me to marry her? Are you sure Firza will accept Jeslyn?" ask Edwin.

Jeslyn listened from behind the wall.

"Jeslyn won't get pregnant with you" Helena said. "Go!" expel Helena.

Edwin leaves but he is convinced that Helena will soon be begging him.

Mona wanted to take a nap but she couldn't sleep. His growing stomach made him have trouble sleeping.

"Darling, you can't sleep?" ask Bara who was home that afternoon for lunch with his beloved wife.

"Yes, Mas. Let's eat first!" take Mona.

Bara tells about the regret of Marino who failed to meet his brother Khadija because of the actions of Saskia. Mona is disappointed with Marino who can not be firm. It is only right now that he is sorry. Mona could not blame Khadija for accepting another man's proposal.

They had lunch together, after which Bara accompanied Mona to take a nap. After Mona fell asleep, Bara immediately returned to the office.

Marino's disheveled face welcomes Bara's return.

"It turns out that Khadijah has accepted the man's proposal" Marino said.

"Not so, it's all your fault that you continue to delay coming to Khadijah's house" Bara said and left Marino.

Marino to her room, she was surprised that there was Saskia there.

"Marino, don't expect Khadijah anymore. I'm sure he won't want to be with you again" Saskia said.

"What do you mean?" ask Marino.

"You sent that to Khadija?" ask Marino.

"Yes, and I'm sure Khadijah will no longer be with you" replied Saskia.

Besides regret, Marino was also ashamed of Khadijah. He has seen people as good as Khadija.

"Remove that photo!" marino's orders.

"No, before you promise to marry me" said Saskia.

"You're crazy! I won't marry you" Marino snapped.

"If you don't want to, then I'll spread this picture. Let everyone know of your behavior, Marino," threatened Saskia.

Marino is dizzy with Saskia. He asked Saskia for time to think. He couldn't have fallen a second time on a matre woman like Saskia. Once upon a time when he was poor, Saskia did not want to get close to him.

Khadijah was actually sad because he knew Marino's depraved behavior. However, he was grateful because he did not become in Marino's application.

"Khadija, Marino and I are getting married" Saskia said.

"Oh yeah congratulations! It is better that you marry than continue to sin" Khadijah said. "Pak Marino does deserve you who are equally cheap" continued Khadijah.

Saskia was angry, she pushed Khadijah. The unprepared Khadija certainly fell. His head hit the table so that Khadija was unconscious.

Saskia was terrified, she immediately left Khadija's room. Not how long Saskia's friend entered because there was a need with Khadijah. Seeing Khadijah unconscious he asked for help.

Marino was shocked when she heard Khadija was unconscious.

Jeslyn felt nauseous again. He felt lazy to eat because every time he ate rice he kept vomiting.

"Why you?" ask Helena.

"Wind is possible" replied Jeslyn. "Don't tell me you're late for the moon" Helena said.

Jeslyn was already late but he didn't want to tell anyone.

"Sir, Ma" said Jeslyn.

He went straight to the room to rest. Helena won't if Jeslyn's pregnant. Plans for him to marry Jeslyn to Firza could fail.

Inside the room, Jeslyn looked at the calendar. He counted how many days he was late. Once counted, he was already nearly two weeks late.

"May I be pregnant? If so how? I'm afraid my parents are angry" Jeslyn said.

Jeslyn was pacing back and forth looking for a way for no one to know.

Mona that afternoon came, she brought a lot of food including rujak. Jeslyn immediately melalap rujak that Mona brought.

"Jes, I asked for dong" Mona said.

They share a voice, Helena who sees it is suspicious. She begins to fidget for fear that Jeslyn is pregnant.

"Mona mama wants to talk" said Helena.

They're getting away from Jeslyn, "what's up, Ma?" ask Mona.

"You saw Jeslyn eating that much. Is she probably pregnant?" ask Helana.

"I know too, Ma. Try to ask auntie to buy tespack at the nearest pharmacy. Let's get Jeslyn a test" Mona replied.

"Ok," said Helena. "But let me just buy, fear that the aunt who bought even he leaked to others" said Helana.

Helena went to the nearest pharmacy. Not long after he came back.

"Jeslyn, come with me! You're Mona too" said Helena, taking Jeslyn and Mona into her room.

"What's up, Ma?" ask Jeslyn.

"Try you a test" Helena replied, handing over the tespack to Jeslyn.

Jeslyn received it with trembling hands. He was afraid that what he was worried about would happen. Jeslyn immediately went to the bathroom and did a test.

Not long after Jeslyn's back. He handed the testpack to Helena.
