Substitute Love (Married Candidate Sister-in-law)

Giving Second Chance, Is it Possible?

"How much did you sell?" ask Vero.

"675 million. 600 I'm using for our new company's capital. Because I'm not good, I just don't have capital there. Plan 75 wants me to pack a stash. Because for several months we will definitely not stable income. But ... Even grandfather for hospital care costs," said Qian who immediately made Vero speechless.

"Bu-not that I mean, sis," Qian refuted quickly upon seeing the change in Vero's expression. "It's not a matter of what the money is done for. But like, the bike must be sold, right? If I don't sell it, we owe it again. Or worse, we may not bring our children home because the payment has not been paid off. That's what the hospital said at the time," Qian said, trying to straighten out. Vero smiled wryly. Money is their problem again.

"Later. If Rumi is big. It's 2 or 3 months. I work again, yes," Vero's permission to Qian. "And I was bargained back to the hotel again at that time. It is as if our economy is stable. Later if it is stable, I resign," said Vero again.

"really, nih. Name's Rumi? That's why I just call because I'm annoyed that big brother doesn't want to talk to me as well as I did," Qian said while laughing, Vero can only shake his head. "I don't get my own son's azanin. Being cuddled again for days," Qian's kekeh again made Vero wrinkle his forehead with this behavior of her husband.

"I don't allow it because you rarely pray. Ntar did not memorize anymore," grumbled Vero with a fierce face. Qian simply laughed at Vero's statement doubting his faith in God.

On the other hand, Arial had just arrived at the airport. He began to reach into his pocket looking for the flat object. And he started connecting his phone to someone over there.

"Where are you? I've arrived. I'm following you right now to it." He went back on his journey. He stopped a taxi and started to drive to his destination.

Maya let go of her long breath. He closed his eyes and pinched his temple, he began to feel that everything was getting more complicated and made it seem more trapped in it. He doesn't know what to say to Arial.

As he was deep in his own thoughts, someone suddenly knocked on the door of his room. Maya quickly gets up on her back and someone enters.

"Mama why? How come there's a problem?" ask Alzam who just entered while handing the yellow map to his mother containing the files.

Maya opens it at a glance, then closes it again. He looked at Alzam who seemed to be still waiting for his mother's answer.

"Papa you came. He's coming here. I think he's angry" said Maya, who appeared distressed. Alzam held his breath for a moment when he heard that his father was coming.

"Why angry?" ask Alzam curious.

"Because Qian's marriage didn't tell her. And aunt Merly ngadu to her yesterday. I don't know what your aunt is stirring the same papa you came."

Alzam remained silent for a moment and looked at his mother's seemingly chaotic state. He started to think and sit in front of his mother.

"Let papa come, Mah. Speaking of what is. Why worry?" said Alzam flat. Maya raises her face to look at Alzam who is also looking at her as if looking for a meaning in her mother Maya.

The night begins to come. Qian saw Vero was asleep. Vero did go to bed early for fear of not staying up late tonight, considering this was the first time they had brought their baby home. His sleep clock is still uncertain. Especially at home is not like in a hospital where they are always helped by nurses on duty. At home they have to do everything alone.

After gently tucking the red baby's head and fixing Vero's blanket, Qian came out.

She saw that her mother-in-law was still busy with gifts given by relatives and friends Qian and Vero. Seeing that, Qian did not stay silent, she also helped open and clean it up after it was finished.

In the midst of their activities, they engage in conversation.

"Is Vero asleep?" asked Mama Jill in the middle of her busy compiling some of the gifts.

"It has. The baby is sleeping too. At midnight, he wakes up again. He often wakes up at night, even in the morning and sleeps," Qian said.

"Baby is it," said Mama Jill with a smile.

"Om Ferdi where, Mah?" qian asked about the whereabouts of the father, the wife continued.

"Home home. Hmmmmmh... I think now he's starting to change. She used to shop a lot at the supermarket. Buy the same vegetables monthly us. He also gave me the same ATM as his credit card." Qian looked at her mother-in-law. His mother-in-law often confided in him, but sometimes very closed to Vero who was his own biological child.

"It feels comfortable to walk. He seems to be good, too" replied Qian accordingly.

"Can people change at their second chance? Including my mom, too. Can Mama really accept him? Or just sympathetic with the change," said Mama Jill.

"Not everything we have to make a decision immediately, right. Just give yourself time to think and see the situation. If you are sure, yes ... There's no harm in Mama continuing again and giving Ferdi a second chance." Qian suggested. Mama Jill smiled, as if agreeing with Qian's statement just now.

"God always gives us the opportunity to change for the better. So, the change of human self is very possible, right. It's permanent or temporary. But, I see, Ferdi's om like really loving Mama. Alex would be happy to see his parents get along again" Qian added.

Mama Jill looked at Qian. This child is actually quite mature in his mindset, but why can he always have problems with his mother and the surrounding environment.

"You take care of Vero, yeah. Maybe we'll move too. Ferdi will most likely move the task out of town. Mama tipped Vero with Rumi as you, yes," said Mama Jill again. Qian laughed hearing Mama Jill mention her son's name.

"It seems like everyone has fixed call him 'Rumi'," Qian Mama Jill laughed

After that, they again engaged in laughter again with a crispy Mama Jill typical laughter, her easy-going attitude made Qian no longer awkward with her mother-in-law.
