Scandal at the House of In-Law

Visit of Mona

Two days after Jeslyn moved in, Mona visited Jeslyn. Mona brought some food. Mona accidentally comes when Edwin is not home.

"How are you and Edwin?" ask Mona.

"Okay, sister," replied Jeslyn.

"But I see you're not okay. You guys seemed to shut up at my seven-monthly event" Mona said.

"Well, I'm still trying to get Edwin to change. So that he can be accepted by our family" Jeslyn said.

"Hopefully Jes, Edwin will change soon" Mona said.

They finally talked about something else. Mona will help coals manage their business after giving birth later. So she's gonna hire a baby siter. While Jeslyn chose to focus on his son later.

"Do you not want to work?" ask Mona. "At least so you don't expect money from Edwin alone" Mona said.

"While this is not before, brother. I want to spend time with my son. Maybe later if he goes to school I'll open a business" Jeslyn said.

There is so much they talk about. Until lunch time arrives. They eat together.

"Did Edwin never call stiff while in the office?" ask Mona.

Jeslyn shook her head, she couldn't possibly lie to Mona. In fact, Edwin never contacted him.

"What if you crave?" ask Mona.

"I have to hold it. If not, I'll buy it myself" replied Jeslyn.

Mona felt sorry to see Jeslyn. At a time like this Edwin did not want to obey what Jeslyn wanted.

"What do you want now?" ask Mona.

"I want to be emaciated, Brother," replied Jeslyn.

"I'm with you to find an empech!" Bring Mona.

They then go looking for pennies, Mona does not want Jeslyn to continue to grieve again. He hoped that Edwin would open his heart immediately and change.

They get empek-empek. Mona accompanies Jeslyn to eat empek. There's no way Mona would let Jeslyn eat it herself.

While eating they kept talking. Until their conversation is interrupted when Bara calls Mona.

"Hello, Mum! I'm outside with Jeslyn. Here's another gallon," Mona said.

"Oh yeah, be careful, yeah" Bara said.

Mona put her phone back in the bag. Jeslyn hopes Edwin can be as considerate as Bara. But all of this is like a dream.

"Jes, why are you quiet?" mona asked seeing Jeslyn's change of attitude.

"What's wrong, brother. After this we go home. I'm afraid of the soybean sister. My sister is pregnant" replied Jeslyn.

"Yes, calm down" Mona said.

As they were about to pay suddenly someone called out to Jeslyn. She's Abi, a friend at Jeslyn's college.

"Jes, you've eaten?" ask Abi.

"Yes, Bi. But I'm back" replied Jeslyn.

"Yes, let me pay you" said Abi.

"No need, Bi. I don't want to trouble you," refused Jeslyn.

However, Abi still forced to pay for the property of Jeslyn and Mona.

"Thank you, Dek" Mona said.

"Together, Brother," replied Abi.

Jeslyn immediately brought Mona home. Especially that day was very hot.

"He who?" ask Mona.

"She was Abi Jeslyn's friend on campus," Jeslyn replied.

When she got home, Mona went straight home. He wants to rest soon. Actually he could have rested at Jeslyn's house but he was scared if there was Edwin.

Edwin focused on his work. He doesn't want to disappoint the Jeslyn family. He wanted to prove that he could.

For a moment he saw his cell phone, wanted to call Jeslyn but it felt prestige.

"He didn't call me" Edwin said.

Edwin finally refocused on his work. Unbeknownst to him, Jeslyn wants him to call her.

"Are you busy at the office?" ask Jeslyn.

"I want to prove to your family that I can" Edwin replied, "so I have to work hard" Edwin said.

"All right," said Jeslyn.

"Is there a problem?" ask Edwin.

"No, you take it easy" replied Jeslyn.

Jeslyn decided not to discuss anything with Edwin. He went into the room and played his cell phone.

Edwin felt sorry for Jeslyn but his heart still hesitated to love Jeslyn. He couldn't forget how Helena kept cornered him. So for him now the most important thing is to prove that he can be with the Jeslyn family.

Mona told Bara about Jeslyn. He felt sorry for his sister.

"Leave it. That's the ordeal of the household" Bara said. "Even if Edwin is not attentive, surely one day will change," Bara said.

"You sure?" ask Mona. "What if he stays the same and gets rougher with Jeslyn?" ask Mona.

"Think of the positive, that reality may follow it" Bara replied. "And rest assured, Jeslyn can face pseudo," Bara said.

"I just felt sorry for him, afraid Edwin would treat him harshly" Mona said.

"Follow away your negative thoughts" Bara said. "You focus on your pregnancy" Bara says.

Bara rubbed Mona's stomach which sometimes looks kicking. The baby in Mona's stomach is very active. Mona does not yet know the gender of her child because she asked the Doctor not to tell her. He said surprise me so.

"Look, our son is kicking on. He must have been looking forward to meeting his mom and dad" Bara said.

"It takes time, Mom," Mona said.

"Hello baby, are you there again?" ask Bara

Suddenly the baby in Mona's stomach kicked.

"Adek, keep kicking. What's playing inside?" ask Mona.

They look happy when communicating with the baby. Although only kick the response of the baby but it makes them happy. That's a sign their baby is healthy in there.

"Night, we'll just go to sleep" said Bara, tired of talking to the baby.

Mona went to bed first because she was sleepy. Bara follows Mona to dreamland.

In the morning, Jeslyn made breakfast. Although he used to be at home spoiled, but now he realized he was no longer alone.

"Breakfast first, Mommy!" pinta Jeslyn when she saw that Edwin was out of the room.

Edwin sat at the dinner table. Jeslyn brought rice and side dishes for Edwin.

"Tok a lot," protested Edwin.

"You're going to work hard. So you have to eat a lot to stay healthy" Jeslyn said. "Remembering health is very important" Jeslyn said.

Edwin was staring at Mona. To make Mona wrong. Things Edwin never did all this time.

Edwin has not been noticed by anyone so far. So she was a little touched when Jeslyn worried about her health.

"Mas, what's wrong with you?" jeslyn asked her howl.

"Oh it's okay" replied Edwin.

"What a daydream of me, it seemed to see me," said Jeslyn.

"Don't GeEr you," argued Edwin.

Edwin still has the prestige to admit that he has since noticed Jeslyn.

"Let's eat!" Take Jeslyn.

They ate together, and occasionally Jeslyn looked at Edwin. Edwin who felt the look so uncomfortable when eating. So Jeslyn chose to focus on eating only.

"Non...Ms. Helena asked Non to come to the house, "aunty said.

"May, Bi?" ask Jeslyn.

"Says something important to talk about" replied Auntie. "But I said you can't take Mas Edwin," said the aunt.

Edwin turned towards Jeslyn.

"Trule was your mother" said Edwin.
