Silence of a Son-in-law

DSM36

I'm clucking hard. Already rejected Mas Asrhaf's request, but what. The man kept pushing until finally here I am. In a quiet place because Mas Ashraf said the conversation was very important.

"I beg you, Ira. I'm really sorry for divorcing you" said Mas Ashraf. I saw his face not as it used to be.

Looks shabby and riled up. Though Mas Asrhaf should be more glowing, seeing how the trembles of a Yuni. It's not like I'm just using baby cream without ever getting dressed. But what I see now. Mas Ashraf is precisely kuel, not taken care of and like not having the spirit of life.

"Why are you talking like that, Mom? Seeing how our status as an ex-husband and you are married and even have children, it seems your words are no longer appropriate," I said calmly.

"I'm going through the divorce process with Yuni."

I pretended to be surprised to hear that. Before that, I knew everything. Yeah, I just want to dramatize things. Haha.

"Why, Mas? I really can't believe it. You should now be enjoying the good times of having children. Not like when I was with you, who didn't even have children until it was said to be barren." I smiled miris. Remembering how Mother Sumarni used to keep labeling myself with that call.

"I don't want the woman who is my wife to be rude to my mother. I don't want him to argue let alone speak out loud. Even though Mother's status as Mother-in-law. But I want them to respect him."

I sighed*hkan breath into the air roughly hearing Mas Ashraf's words. The man was so selfish and grateful that I was divorced from him. I can't believe how the man didn't learn from the experience of building a household with me. I'm sure the reason they got divorced wasn't just because the baby 'maybe not' belonged to Mas Asrhaf, but because the man hadn't changed.

I so remember the saying that the disposition and disposition (coughing) are different. If Watuk(cough) treated can be cured, but the character wants to die will still not heal. Yes, like this Mas Asrhaf who is selfish.

To be honest, hearing Mas Ashraf speak like that actually made me want to laugh out loud. Not even sympathy. I first felt what Yuni felt so I understood better. Ashraf seems to have forgotten that.

"Mas, my advice. If you want to get married again and last. Then you must be independent. Don't take your wife to a roof with your mother."

"Yes, for the household is like a kingdom, and there shall be no two reigning queens. My advice, when married, is better to live independently even if contracted than to live with in-laws or parents themselves," my advice.

"Well, you're so good at patronizing, Ira. I don't believe that."

I saw Mas Ashraf smiling sinisterly. I know, that guy must have been bullshit for being advised. Not wanting to deal with him any longer, I chose to say goodbye under the pretext of leaving Elmira too long.

However, Mas Ashraf really held me back.

"Take me off, Mom!"

"No will! I want us back, Ira!"

"I don't want to!" reject me raw. I was hurt enough by it and I wouldn't have fallen in the same hole.

"Nova ...."

"Take him off!"

Someone's voice from behind me managed to stop our debate.
