Son-in-law Unregarded

Always underrated

Frans has officially separated from Rissa for a week, the life he lived was different without the presence of his ex-wife. The shadow of Rissa always imagined in her daydream every time at home, understand only 1 year of living together with his ex-wife is not a moment, not a moment, Frans always remembered what his wife did when they were in his house before finally being forced to move to his current rented house.

Even when he woke up in the morning Frans often called his ex-wife because usually he was the one who woke Rissa in the morning until it was realized that now Rissa was not with him anymore for good. Do not want to be too late in the sadness Frans busy themselves in his workplace even though there is no overtime Frans often stay at the office. Because he always imagined his ex-wife.

Frans is still not willing to divorce Rissa even though his heart sincerely accepts this separation for the good of Jessi's former mother-in-law and also Rissa certainly. He realized that if he had to maintain his ego most hurt over this ego is Jessi himself because he had to lose his eldest son Donna who had vowed not to take care of his own mother if he still supported maintaining Frans marriage with Rissa.

For those who do not have their own home will be difficult if they have to bear their in-laws to live with themselves and Rissa, not the difficulty to support their mother-in-law. But also have to bear the cost of living Johan with his wife and child, because of course Donna will decide the flow of finance to support the family living in the family wie.

Not to mention having to face the insults and insults of the younger brothers of the Alm. David wie and Jessi and the other Rissa brothers, who are sure to be tougher than they were accepted to be the wie family's daughter-in-law. 1 year of marriage he and Rissa many insults he received from his aunt and cousin Rissa especially since the death of David wie which is usually only through his ex-wife, only through his ex-wife, increasingly heard by Frans' own ears though not directly in front of his face.

Both subtle and violent insinuation are commonly heard in his ears when he attends a meeting in the wie family with his wife, although not directly referring to him but Frans who is not far from those who speak already understand that he is what they mean, Only Donna and a few younger brothers from David Wie who openly always mention him directly even sometimes to point Frans face. Only Lenny and Liany always defend Frans and Rissa if the words of Donna and her sister are too harsh and demeaning to someone.

Just after Liany's child's wedding, Donna and David's younger sister wie dispute the contents of the envelope given by Frans and Rissa.

"Lu not wrong sa, you are the same man you only give angpau 500rb, you do not want first when you married the Randi ngasih angpau lu 1jt. don't mind you don't accept the rest of the money you don't know the rules" scolded Donna in front of Rissa's other cousin

"At least, if you are given the same value of 1 million, the klo-sukur-klu can you be more" continued Donna in a slightly upset tone because for him the angpau given by Rissa and Frans is not as it should be.

*FYI: there is an unwritten rule in the lives of the people of descent in general that the envelopes they receive either during a wedding or at the event of someone's death, are, must be returned at least with the same nominal when the person giving the wedding or at the event of death at the funeral home.

No wonder if when attending a wedding party the descendants of the envelope given marked by the number sticker, or at home the funeral is provided a guest book for those present. So that one day the person who gave the envelope held a wedding party or experienced the grief of the party who used to receive, can return the amount of money they received first.

Frans who did not expect if the nominal envelope money given to be questioned like this, although in fact the host, namely Liany and married couples do not question this. Can only apologize for saving himself and Rissa not much left considering the amount of their expenses after marriage and the death of David wie.

"Elu besides just being able to help the energy to apologize, usually what else" said Donna ketus chimed in an apology from Frans

"Lu du work, fitting ko David died is also not much help. The time to return angpao aja Randi could not afford" said one of David Wie's younger brothers who from the beginning Frans and Rissa married had shown an unfriendly attitude to Frans.

"Why are you the one who is so noisy, people want to tell you how much their business is. The important thing is his prayer and presence, not his nominal problem" cut Liany who did not want there to be a commotion at the family banquet he held as a thanksgiving of his son's marriage

Frans and Rissa who at that time felt cornered did not talk too much until the banquet was over, Frans himself wanted it to feel like taking the money atatm and threw it on the faces of the two people who demeaned him, Frans himself wanted to take the money in the heart and then threw it on the face of the two people who demeaned him, but I don't want to make any more noise.

If it wasn't for looking at her in-laws Jessi and Alm. David Wie, Frans when he was the husband of Rissa did not want to feel like attending a large family meeting wieranto, because only he and Rissa were always made fun of by Donna and David's sister, David, there was even a cousin Rissa who began to dare to question the work and salary received by Frans. But Frans never wanted to reply to the words of his wife's cousin.

For him it is not a problem just being the head of the warehouse with a smaller salary than Rissa, the most important thing is not even Frans asked them to eat. If it can not help through funds, it is knapa if it can help the energy, is not the point the same as the most important already help. Not infrequently Frans asked for permission to go home quickly just to provide energy assistance if there is a family event in the wie family residence both in the ivory city and in the city of JB, not infrequently Frans had to wake up in the middle of the night just sending medicine or food for Donna's son from the family home wie to the house Donna because of the request of her in-laws Jessi and Donna herself.

Frans never wanted to receive the rewards for the help he gave, for himself to help his own family why must count. But unfortunately his help during this time as the daughter-in-law of the family David wie is often considered trivial by Donna and the younger brothers alm. David Wie, although often Donna asked Frans and Rissa for help even though it was just looking after and delivering Donna's children to school or tutoring while both were off work.

Only Rudy Tan and Johan and his wife Susan appreciate the help provided by Frans and Rissa, Rudy himself once offered Rissa and Frans to live together in his home. But rejected by Frans in addition to too far from the office Rissa so that the trip to his office must leave early, also do not want to someday be a problem for him, he said, moreover, Joice, Rudy's wife and Rissa's second sister have a similar nature to Donna.
