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

Unacknowledged

Riki looked at the mother who was silent, receiving all the screams from the grandmother.

"What is this Mah?" Ask Riki.

"Father boy, you'd better go home..!" Answer Nita.

"Grandmother why angry with Mama? I've been kind to Grandma, but she still treats Mom like this" asked Riki. Of course at his teenage years, he was not an innocent man who knew nothing. All this time he knew that his mother was always treated badly.

"Your mother who made a grandmother like this, of course, grandma has the right to scold her," Maryati replied.

"Don't blame Mama, you just came home" replied Riki.

Nita who did not want to see her son fighting with the grandmother, she also brought Riki out of her mother-in-law's room.

"Let's go, kid, let's go first. Let your grandmother get treated first, you called the masseuse right?" Nita embraces Riki and invites him out to meet Ms. Zizah.

Arman who had just returned from the pharmacy, he saw Riki and Nita who were arguing lightly. "Well, what's up?"

"Gapapa Mas, Riki wants to go home he said. Aye right?" Ask Nita to Riki.

The boy was forced to nod and go to Ani's grandmother's house in a sad mood. She did not like to see her mother treated like that, let alone blame her mother without proof. Riki brushed aside the pity on the grandmother and instead turned to hate the middle-aged woman.

After Ms. Zizah finished massaging Maryati's sprained leg, Arman gave her money to recover her services. The masseur's departure makes Maryati free to curse Nita again, she again blames Nita who does not know anything.

"It's all because of your wife Man, your mother fell and sprained. Your wife can not keep the honor of the husband's family," complained Maryati.

"Yes Mom, I'll have high blood again..! Besides why was Nita wrong, what was it like?" Ask Arman.

"The mothers were talking to the mother, they said Dela went to prison for being an actor and mistress of an old man. I don't accept it, I want to act, uh fall," replied Maryati.

"Why it's Nita's fault. It would be wrong mbak Dela who can not keep his good name as well as our surname," replied Arman defending his wife.

"Those mothers would never know your problem if they were not told. I'm sure that Nita spread it, who do you think knows about this?" Maryati asked with emotion.

Arman was silent, he seemed to be thinking. Yeah, well, how could they possibly know that it wasn't from Nita? I've been gossiping with these mothers, Inner Arman.

"Yes, I don't have emotions. Arman will ask Nita in a good way," said Arman. The man gave the high blood medicine he bought at the pharmacy earlier, because it happened that the stock of drugs at home ran out.

Maryati turned her face and chose to sleep, Arman kept the medicine near the bed. Arman is actually also dizzy to face the behavior of his mother, but parents are still parents who must be respected, loved, and treated well.

Arman was in his room, he saw his wife who had changed clothes and was preparing to sleep. "Sir, sit here for a moment..! I want to talk" said Arman, patting the edge of the bed next to him.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Nita asked, she then sat down slowly by the side of the bed.

Nita's eyes instantly rounded, she looked at her husband seriously. "According to Mas do I like to look for a commotion and spread the news of gossip material? They're accusing me?" Ask Nita.

"Bu-not so I mean," replied Arman nervously. He had thought that Nita's reaction would be like this, but he did need certainty from his wife.

"What do you mean?" Asked Nita again, she got up from her seat.

"If not you, then who is Dek?" Ask Arman.

"Two times I accused him. Enough Mas, I don't know, I also just came home from school shocked to see the state of mother. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. It's free for us to argue, Mas must be more biased and believe in mother," replied Nita. She then climbed into the bed and slept on her back.

Arman is frustrated, he is between two women who are different characters and always quarrels endlessly. When one speaks A then the other speaks B, it used to be like that and Arman is made all wrong.

In the morning, Nita prepared the food as usual. She had breakfast without making a sound, she only answered Arman's questions as necessary, she then rushed off to school ahead of her husband. 

Nita goes to her mother's house first, she wants to leave with her children. Liana offers them to be escorted by the driver, there happens to be a new car that gives Daffa complete with a private driver.

Nor did Nita refuse, she was happy. But it turns out that Riki chose to go alone, the teenager still did not want to talk much with Nita after the debate last night. Riki felt that if her mother gave up too often, Riki felt sorry to see her mother live like that. He did not hate his mother at all, just wanted to protest.

"You go first with Nabila, I want to go on a bike. I'm 17 years old and have a Mah SIM" replied Riki reasoned when offered to go together by Nita.

Nita also gave up persuading Riki, indeed the boy was a little stubborn. Nita leaves first, leaving Riki with Liana there.

"Why are you Riki?" Ask Liana.

"Father Brother, uh Aunt," replied Riki. She was happy to tease Liana.

"Ish, I'm your aunt, but we're about the same age. Next year you also go to college, have a sneak there to leave, I do not want if the morning has been invited to a storm!" Liana said then passed into the house.

Riki just smiled, he turned on his motorbike, he was silent for a moment so that the engine was warm. Suddenly, Miss Nina greeted. Making Riki turn off his motorbike engine and reply to the greetings of his neighbors let alone Bu Nina older than him.

"Yes ma'am, this is about to go to school" replied Riki.

"Oh yes, I'll ask. Yesterday you said Miss Maryati who contracted over there is your grandmother, is that it?" Ask Bu Nina who is kepo.

Riki is silent, she is still upset by Maryati's often outrageous attitude towards her mother. Until Bu Nina surprised Riki because she was daydreaming.

"I'm sorry Mom, um. My grandmother lives here, my grandmother's name is Ani's grandmother. Maybe yesterday I misheard," replied Riki. The man left because he was afraid of being late. Leaving behind the still confused Bu Nina.

Again Titin heard what they were talking about, he smiled happily as if getting the lottery. So the grandmother was not recognized also Den Riki, hmm. Aunt supports you Den, Inner Titin.
