Taking Care of Smart Acting In-Law (Empiring Ikhlas)

Dela Beg

Nita saw Dela playing on her phone laughing, not knowing what she was looking at. It just so happened that the door of the room was open even though it was not wide, making Nita go straight in and call her sister-in-law in a tone that she could lower as much as she could.

"Mom, why haven't you cooked yet? Did mom eat? Why is the house still in disarray? Even the dishwasher this morning was still piling up" said Nita.

"Mr, mbak. I'm not a jamu mbak. Besides I'm not a maid, I'm a guest here. When do I have to do everything?" Answer Dela.

"But Ma'am, we share the duties in this house. If I go to work then it's Dela who cleans the house and cooks, and I'll definitely cook dinner and clean things up after work" Nita said.

Dela should have known herself if she was hitchhiking at Arman and Nita's house. But the woman seemed to have no shame. Don't you? Ma'am Dela will only make trouble and increase the burden of my mind, I can stress thinking of selfish people in this house, inner Nita.

"I'm not a maid. I'm a guest here, I should be served like a queen" Dela replied.

Nita breathed her long breath. Try to breathe in slowly and exhale again. "Prophe Nita, be patient! Astagfirullahaladzim..," murmured Nita slowly.

Okay, I'll let Mbak Dela just rest today. But if tomorrow still act, I will fight him, inward Nita.

Nita chooses to leave immediately before her emotions rise and loses control. From the room, Dela said she scolded Nita for being rude to come and go to her room as she pleased.

It's noisy, and this is my home. I'm free to go into that room, do I need to kick him out? nita's upset.

Nita rushed to clean up the house, Nabila who had just returned from school. The girl immediately helped her mother despite being banned by Nita.

"No, you just got home from school. You take a break, you take a nap..!" Nita.

"Gapapa Mah, mamah is also the same cape abis ngajar. What if we take a nap together now? Hehe." answered Nabila.

"Hmm... who cleaned whose house?" Ask Nita.

Nabila laughed, then he answered his mother's question, "have we sorted out quickly Mah, we keep taking a nap deh, eh so sleep dong afternoon? Haha…"

Nita also laughed, the girl was able to entertain when her mood was chaotic. Nita was always grateful for the presence of her two children who always understood her situation. Not demanding and always trying to help him.

After the work was completed, Nita and Nabila laid down their bodies on the bed. In Nabila's room made Nita calmer, she looked at the ceiling of the room that was pink. Indeed, the girl loved the color because it was bright and said the color of affection, making the atmosphere of the room all pink as far as Nita's eyes looked.

"Bil, amafin Mamah huh? Mamah can not be happyin you, buy the goods you need just take a long time, until waiting for the money Mamah collected. Pray Mamah, in the future a lot of blessed sustenance, can move also to a new home. This house is quite old and often leaks despite being repaired many times" said Nita.

"Aamiin. I wish Mamah the best. hmm. The figure is so loving, even Mamah willing to take care of grandmother who is often rude to us. I remember when I was sick, my grandmother even ignored me. Said I was the better. Grandma should be worried, not even mocking me who is helpless," replied Nabila with a clear anger.

"Bil, make peace with the masses. We must always plant goodness so that what we reap later is also happiness. As human beings, is it not the best that is useful for fellow living beings, especially with others? Mother will plant that goodness, no matter the big wind or heavy rain comes and goes. I hope the plant can grow big and strong," replied Nita.

"You are the best" replied Nabila, giving her thumbs up.

Tired, they also fell asleep. Until someone's voice wakes them up. "Mah, so you're even here to sleep while Mrs Dela from morning work. Look at! Even mbak Dela who prepared food and welcomed me in front of the door," said Arman.

"Mas. I also cleaned the house with Nabila, because I was tired, I fell asleep. I don't intend to ignore you Mas, because I feel I have prepared everything. Do you want a warm bath?" Nita.

"Let me make warm water, Arman? Looks like your wife is a slacker," said Dela.

Nabila who was furious, did not accept if his mother was treated like that. He got up from the bed, now he was standing looking at Dela's back.

"A lazy aunt, already hitchhiking does not want to work. Pity you are tired of coming home from work, the house is also made a mess with Aunt and Grandma, do not Fitnah Mamah!" nabila.

Dela turned around, "look at Arman! Your son's behavior has no manners. Exactly rich his mother, take care of it!" Said Dela while pointing towards Nabila.

Nita put her body up, she stood in front of Dela. Which mother would have seen her child cursed like that, especially in a state of innocence, but as if made wrong.

"It's mbak, enough to insult me! Don't take my son! When I was a child, let me prepare warm water for my husband" said Nita passed to go to the kitchen.

An irritated Dela, she went to her room and played her phone again. While Arman who had just returned home late did not open his voice, he was tired of working and did not want to get involved in the debate of the women in his house who did not get along.

After Arman took a bath, he ate. The man knew that the taste of his wife's cooking was not his sister. Dela approached Arman and asked him to speak, complaining and crying. Nita had seen the scene, but she was lazy to meet her brother-in-law, she chose to sleep in the room because she was tired.

***

Morning came, this morning even Nita who cooked alone. Dela did not help at all, but fell asleep without guilt or discomfort.

"This is Mamah's cooking? Worth delicious. But isn't the cook supposed to be Aunt Dela?" Say Nabila.

"Mau Mamah or Aunt Dela is the same Bill, the important thing is that you have breakfast" replied Arman.

"Oh yes Mah, you share the same task mbak Dela, and let Mbak Dela rest if tired..! Pity me, he was a lot of burden of mind because of Mas Azis problem. Please understand his sadness, don't ask him to fight and don't mind homework!" Arman.

"But this didn't fit with Mas's initial agreement.I was tired and now plus have to take care of one more person? I'd better find a maid, I can't help it!" Answer Nita. He stood up and cleaned up the dirty dishes.

"But Mah, I don't have the heart. Pity mbak Dela if in a bad state even charged a job. Ma'am Dela is a guest here" said Arman. The man doesn't want to lose.

You've always felt sorry for your family, but I've never had any pity. Always one-sided, always defending your family only mas, Inner Nita.
