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

Two-faced

Ms. Rosi also told her what she heard from Maryati's mother this morning to Arman. The man was not out of thought with the behavior of his mother, he felt embarrassed and confused. Confused how to wake her mother, if advised. Maryati will not accept and feel right himself. If left unchecked, it will create a big problem.

Arman came home with white sugar in his hand. He opened the door and said his greetings, without waiting for an answer from his mother, he went towards the kitchen and made two glasses of warm sweet tea.

"Mom, here's the tea" said Arman.

Maryati came out of the room and began to sit down, "two glasses of Man?" Ask Maryati.

"It's for me Mom, I'm just sitting here with my mom" replied Arman.

"Tumben, I feel bad" Maryati replied.

Those words pierced straight into Arman's heart. Indeed, all this time he rarely spent time together with his mother, in addition to busy working, he felt since childhood also his relationship with the mother was less close. He is closer to his father who is now gone, the reason was not close because Maryati the mother who is sometimes loving, incised wounds and made a distance between them until now.

I asked no, right? Inner Arman.

"Hmm. I was just enjoying a warm tea in the afternoon while relaxing for a while Mom," replied Arman. She undoes her intention to interrogate the mother, she does not know what to start the conversation like so that her mother does not get angry.

Maryati looks closely at the big house in front of her, very clear because it is right in front of her contract.

"Why do you keep watching Ani's mother's house?' ask Arman.

"No. The house is in front of us, of course mom will look that way. I was curious to meet Liana's future husband," replied Maryati.

"It seems like a busy person, ma'am, the rich are not like that" Arman said.

"Yes, I just feel afraid that Liana is fooled by a man who has married," said Maryati again, as if she cares for Liana, even though she is making a discussion that is not necessarily true. Arman did not understand the attitude of his mother who seemed to be very good at flipping words, making the listener misjudge.

"I'm sure Ma'am that Liana's prospective man is a good and trustworthy person. How Nita might allow her sister to relate to men is unclear let alone the husband of people. You better not worry!" replied Arman. More precisely not to worry, but do not spread slander Mom..! Inner Arman.

"Yes you're right. Maybe the mother also ate the neighbor's talk this morning, hmm..," said Maryati passed away.

Arman was silent, he was not out of thought with the attitude of his mother who had so hated his wife and also the family of the wife.

When the night comes, Romi doesn't usually call Arman. The man seemed unwilling to take the phone from his brother who had always been different thoughts.

"Assalamu'alaikum., ." said Arman after pressing the button to receive the call.

"Waalaikumsalam.., how are you? Oh how's mom doing?" Ask Arman.

"Alhamdulillah well, my mother is also now healthy. I can walk again" replied Arman as briefly as possible.

"Thank God, you know, Man, these last few days Dela called me with a new number. He asked for help, but I couldn't. Is it true that Dela is in need of our help? Are there no assets left behind?" Ask Romi.

"If Mas wants to help it is legitimate, but I'm not here to deal with mbak Dela after what Dela did to us" replied Arman 

"Why Man?" Ask Romi.

"Mbak Dela sells land that is used as a rice field owned by the mother whose results we usually use to increase the cost of the mother as well. And letters

My house is with him, too, a mortgage. Ma'am Dela is in need of help because Fadli also went to prison, only I do not want him to be like that," replied Arman.

Romi was shocked, he did not expect that Mbak Dela was more selfish than before. He became sorry for the younger brother who was always loyal to take care of their mother. Romi also intends to send some assistance in the form of basic food. Since that was all he could afford, he ran his wife's grocery store.

Why didn't Romi just send money? No, he had always been like hitchhiking to his rich wife, making his pride as a husband he could not fight for. He had a marriage that was not as normal as other people, his wife who seemed to be the head of the household, managing finances and leading whatever every action.

Miris, it's really miris. Housekeeping because of arranged marriage and getting a wife who seemed arrogant for what she had, made Romi not warty. Romi is so jealous of his sister Arman's household, but he already has a child to fight for.

The rumors about Liana were now spread to Titin's ears which she immediately reported to Liana.

"Neng, Auntie again sprained the same neighbors here," said Titin.

"Why is bi?" Ask Liana.

"They were just plain slandering, they said that non Liana was a mistress om om, Bibi immediately disbanded the gossipers, making them upset" said Bu Titin.

"What's? Aunty didn't hear wrong, did she?" Liana asked in shock.

"Yes Neng, tomorrow Bibi will find out where the source of this gossip is, Neng do not have to worry! Later aunty ulek tuh mouth lemesnya," said Titin while turning his hands that have been clenched above the other arm. Titin seemed to be imagining the lip of the man.

Liana was silent, all this time she had never gotten such a slander. When his life was simple, there was no one to disturb him, only a handful of people who looked with a condescending gaze was not this severe. He thinks it's something new and he doesn't know what to do with it.

Do I let it go, but later the rumor goes away. Or do I teach a lesson to someone who dares to intrude on my life? Inner Liana.
