Silencing Conflicts in-laws

Chapter 9 Different Situations

"Hey, Lazyman! Why even dumbass? You must be looking for an excuse not to get asked to find a job. Don't you?" ask Miss Siska annoyed.

Already he told Bryan to go looking for work, but Bryan even dumbfounded inexplicably.

"Oh yes sorry, Ma!" bryan replied that he was aware of his daydream.

"Sorry! Pardon me! Your apologies are useless if you don't have money, Bryan! Now let's get ready, then find another job out there. Remember that! Don't ever come home if you haven't brought good news. Anyway, today I have to listen if you've got a better replacement job than the company that fired you!" said Ms. Siska without dispute.

"Good, Ma! I will try to find any job today and it will definitely make you happy later, if I have not found a job, then I will not go home, unless it has to be delivered home by someone else," Bryan replied wryly.

Ms. Siska was grieving, she really did not like to mince words at this time because she was too upset with her son and daughter-in-law who she thought was wreaking havoc in her home.

"Don't say much, Bryan! Just prove your point, I don't need a false promise. There's money, then everything will be fine!" ms. Siska replied, Bryan did not answer anymore, he did not know what to answer.

"Yes, Mom! My stomach is screaming for stuffing, the catfish hasn't called us to lunch yet!" Clara came back to corner Zakia who was busy serving food for them. 

With the rest of the energy he had, with a scream of worms wrung to be given intake, especially when looking at the cuisine he prepared it was really appetizing. But he could only see, could not taste.

"The woman must be yelled at first and really work, otherwise she will continue to fantasize while working!" answer Miss Siska.

After that, Miss Siska and Clara came out of Bryan's room to the dining room, Bryan 

who is currently holding in anger because his wife is always cornered by her mother and sister-in-law, trying to thicken her ears so as not to be provoked by emotions.

After his mother and sister-in-law came out of the room, Bryan immediately got ready to go find a new job at his mother's behest because, he was, if not then his mother will always insult and also berating him especially always blame Zakia as the unlucky carrier in their home. 

Winding stomach and rumbling held as much as possible by Bryan, he starved at his own parents' house. Even his own mother would not allow him to eat.

Bryan felt his life was very poor. Unlike other families who always put their children's interests first, even Bryan had seen a mother who was willing to hold back thirst and hunger and said that her stomach was still full, he said, just to make the child feel calm in eating his food.

"I'm leaving first, Ma! Pray I get a job today!" bryan's pamphlet to his mother who was eating a dish prepared by Zakia.

His stomach immediately revolted to see the fried fish sambal ijo sprinkled with jengkol, sweet on the table. It was Bryan's favorite meal. His mother also often cooked it for him first, when he still had a lot of income.

Ms. Siska was just whimpering at Bryan, she was busy chewing food so her mouth was full. Ms. Siska did not have time to answer Bryan's saying that she was too focused on the pleasure of the food of her daughter-in-law who is currently starving.

"Party Bag, Dek! Pray it works, so we can buy food! Sorry, Mom!" bryan said as he shed tears.

He knew his wife was starving at this time, but as a husband he could not feed her. Bryan felt himself to be the most evil husband in the world, because he could not give his wife a living properly.

Just as Bryan felt, Zakia also felt very sorry for her husband, at the time when Bryan was falling and at this time his mind must be struggling, Bryan was always required to give a lot of money. Zakia was eager to help Bryan, but Zakia had no power to do so, daily he was preoccupied with the activities ordered by his mother-in-law.

"Later the drama is replayed! I'm so not in appetite to see your useless drama, it's just a waste of time!" Ms. Siska again made her scathing criticism.

Even to speak they were forbidden, for they had no money to offer.

Bryan said goodbye, he no longer had the power to endure the pain in his heart. At this time the best indeed he had to stay away from the house for a moment, calm the heart that was confused and erratic thoughts.

"Wow! Bryan's favorite food, Ma?  But how did I see Bryan just get out of the house! Didn't Bryan come to eat?" ask Doni who just got home from school.

He immediately sat at the dining table and took food without changing clothes or cleaning first. But Miss Siska did not reprimand her at all.

"Eat whatever you like, Doni! No need to mention anyone's name. Mama's appetite is gone!" upset Miss Siska. 

"Eee, yeah, Ma! I don't know if there's a name that's forbidden to be mentioned in this house. The handsome boy just got home, Ma!" doni replied while teasing her mother.

"Hm! It's up to you! Now quickly finish your meal, after that rest!" tell Ms. Siska.

"All right, Big Madam! Servant is ready to finish all the food according to the orders of the great madam!" say Doni silly. 

But to Ms. Siska, it was a useful joke, she seemed so comforted by Doni's silly babble. Like a cypress family, instantaneous warmth enveloped those who were busy eating special dishes served with Zakia's tired sweat, Zakia stood like a waitress waiting for the master to finish eating. His tears he pushed inward, not wanting anyone to see those tears.

"Bak Kia why stand up? Why not eat? It must be all this special dish that Kia Ma'am prepared, right?" ask Doni again.

"Ehh, yes Don! Let's eat later!" zakia answered, knowing that it was just a pleasantries. They actually care about themselves.

"Ohh, so, Mother! Okay then!" said Doni cuek, the answer was guessed by Zakia.

They continued to eat, Zakia was still standing behind her mother-in-law, she had not dared to leave before being told to.

Tok

Geck. 

Geck. 

The knock on the door paused the meal for a moment.
