SECOND MAHLIGAI

Chapter 43 - Old Man Labile

At this dinner table that is usually full of jokes and laughter today is a little gripping. The great lord and mistress of Suryabrata was silent and looking intently at their only son.

Before finally getting out of the room, they had promised each other would not mind the attitude of the child if they did not see any changes to their daughter-in-law. But after sitting at the dinner table, and seeing Sasi's puffy eyes, what they promised just now did not apply. Because they've made sure that Nathan's attitude must have scared the woman to tears. Fortunately Aslan did not ask what - what to his mother about the puffy eyes of Sasi. But, unfortunately it didn't last long.

“Mah,” call Aslan with mouth full of food.

“Iya, Darling.” Reply Sas.

“Eyes, Mama, why? Mama, you crying?” ask Aslan.

Glug

Nathan who had just spooned the food into his mouth immediately swallowed the food round - round. Seen several times, Nathan rubbed his chest because he did not have time to chew the food first. While the mother was very satisfied to see her son choking. Even the mother was seen several times squinting her eyes.

“Ngak, Darling. This is because it was hit by land that accidentally entered the eye, Mama, So look at.”

“Indeed, Mama, why play ground?”

“Not ground play. Earlier, Mama, help, Eyang. See if in the front garden there are some new plants?” sasi said to distract the child so as not to ask about his swollen eyes again.

“Oh, yes, earlier, Aslan, also see the sacks - sacks of earth moved the same sir Juki.”

“Well, the. Because of that, Darling.”

After hearing the incoming explanation would be according to Aslan, the child no longer asked anything to the mother.

Dinner went well again until they finally finished the activity.

The slightly tense dinner had now melted in the living room due to Nathan's teasing of Aslan who was learning English.

“Not that pronunciation, Lan. His tongue should not come in. Gini nih,” Nathan gives an example that makes Aslan nod - nod his head.

“Papi, smart rich, Mama. Mama, also can always finish my English PR well.”

“I am, CEO. If only English alone I can not afford, what is the title of CEO,” Nathan's mind.

“If, Your mother, is smart. Why, just this word alone, you have trouble saying it?”

“Not difficult, Pih, it's just that at the school that now English is a daily language. Meanwhile, Aslan, in Jogja language daily - day ‘kan, java.”

Nathan nodded, Aslan was not unable to just that his accent was still a little stiff. Because indeed this child is not accustomed to using English in his old school environment.

“What, she needs tutoring, Honey?” nathan asked, emphasizing the word dear so that his parents did not think like - like about the tears of his daughter-in-law that flowed because of him.

While the papa was clucking and staring dislike at him. While the mother only rotates her eyeballs, caught in the behavior of her own child.

“I guess, no need, Mas. Aslan just need to get used to it, yes, ‘kan?” Sasi looked at the child and smiled.

“Iya, Mother. Aslan will prove, if Aslan can be like the others, and not only other lessons but English will also get good grades in class later.”

Sasi smiled happily. This is his unyielding son. Will not be oppressed just because he is not worth his friends. If you remember the past, this nature of Aslan is similar to his unyielding father. But Sasi hopes, may the greedy and arbitrary nature - mena father, does not decline in this child.

Realizing that the day was getting late, Sasi asked Aslan to immediately enter the room to rest. Because he does not want the child to spend his dawn time, especially until the obligation is not in time.

Although Aslan was a smart child, Sasi never charged about good grades or anything like that, because for him good value if not followed by attitude and good faith all that is meaningless. It was also a message his father used to have, and almost every day Sasi heard his father say it to him.

Two middle-aged children who are sensitive to the child also choose to immediately enter the room because they also need to relax their minds and bodies after being tense because of the child's actions.

While Nathan who saw his parents leave immediately sighed in relief. He was already very afraid that his father would ask him related things this afternoon. But before his smile dimmed and managed to climb the stairs with his wife the terrible voice arrived - it was already behind him.

“Don't go up first! Follow, Papa, to the reading room.” Declared.

“Mampus!” Nathan muttered.

“Why, Mas?” asked Sasi who heard the muttering of her husband.

“No, Dear. I'm going to the reading room first, okay?"

Sasi nodded and continued her steps towards her room.

Nathan began to recite prayers. What punishment will he receive. He has resigned, as long as not tell him to serve outside Jakarta he was grateful.

“Pah,” Nathan said on the door lip.

“Log in, and close the door!”

Nathan opened the door and entered. After that he closed the door and made sure if the door was really closed. Nathan began to step back and approached to stand before his father.

“What, happened?”

“For what, did you make your beloved daughter-in-law, your mother, cry like that? What's up?” yelled papa.

Nathan closed his eyes to hear the cry of the father. Even now his two palms were so wet he was afraid.

“Jawab!” shouts back.

“I... This, ng... no...”

“Ngak, what? Speak clearly!”

Nathan swallowed his saliva again until it felt like the saliva had turned into a needle ready to tear his throat.

“Ha. Not as you might expect, Sakha believes. Yes?”

“How, Papa, can trust a labile old man, like you!”

Nathan knew that his actions this time were out of bounds, and now he could only be silent to hear the rage of the father. How else, the fear is not without reason. The wounds Diandra inflicted on her really made her life change like never before. Syndrome anxiety disorder in his dream did make himself can no longer have that confidence anymore. Even now his confidence as a man cannot be proud of him.

Seriate…
