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

Go With the Word

Nita knocked on the door a few times then she pushed the open door slowly. I wanted Nita to be angry at her mother-in-law, but no matter what, she didn't want to make a fuss.

"How's mom doing?" Ask Nita.

"It's light, '" Maryati answered briefly.

"Thank God, this is me bringing food and also fruits, Mom," said Nita and kept it.

"You don't work? Can take care of me, right?" Ask Maryati.

"Sorry Mom, if you can't today" replied Nita. She wanted to reject her mother-in-law's wishes just once.

Nita waited until noon with the Word. In the end Nita agreed to Maryati's request even though it was only until noon. Word that felt bad, he also called Kinan to tell if he came home tomorrow morning.

Maryati who felt no longer weak, she wanted to go home, making her son could not refuse and take care of all his administration.

Nita chose to go home by taxi because she wanted to pick up Nabila after school. While Firman with his car drove the mother.

"Mama..," call Nabila.

"Did you be surprised to see you pick you up?" Ask Nita with a smile.

"Yes, isn't Mom sick anymore?" Say Nabila.

"Udah better kok Bil, was Mamah nengokin grandma in the hospital. All of you Mamah here, not far from the land, hehe..," replied Nita.

"Grandma's sick Mah, sick what? The feeling this morning was fine," asked Nabila worriedly.

"It's not Ani's grandmother, but Maryati's grandmother" replied Nita who understood that her son misunderstood her. Who met Nabila this morning would have been his birth mother (Bu Ani).

"Thank God, let's get Mah home..!" Say Nabila.

"Hmm..., you don't want to nengokin grandma in rented?" Ask Nita.

"Tomorrow Mah, today Mamah must nemenin me all day at home..!" Answer Nabila.

"But really yes... tomorrow nengokin your grandmother?" Tanya Nita reassured.

"Yes Mah" answered Nabila by force. Of course he did not intend to visit his grandmother who did not love him at all, but for the sake of the mother he would take a while.

When morning came, Firman was getting ready to go home because his wife had contacted him many times. Arman who has not yet left for work, he will wait until his brother departs.

Suddenly Maryati came with a neat appearance, even she was dragging a large bag that was quite heavy. "Mom's coming, Man, mom misses mom's grandkids?" Ask Mary to the Word.

"But Ma'am, I haven't talked about this with Kinan Ma'am, '" complained the Word.

"But I'm still sick" Arman said. He was worried that the long journey would make his mother even more sick.

"Mother is healthy, you don't have to worry. I know my own body better" answered Maryati.

The woman opened the car door, entered, and now sits in the car. "Man, get mom's bag up!" Shouted Maryati to Arman.

"How is it Mas?" Ask Arman.

"Geez, mom's up too. I just hope later Kinan will not be angry," replied the Word.

Arman nodded, he brought his mother a big bag to put in the car at the back. Arman is worried that his mother will make his brother and sister-in-law quarrel as she had with Nita.

Let's hope that mother's decision is the best, Arman's inner self.

The trip was far enough to make Maryati drunk the vehicle several times. Firman had offered his mother to return home, but she did not give up, and wanted to continue the journey.

"We'll rest here first, ma'am?" Ask Word.

Maryati nodded slowly, she ordered a warm sweet tea and some bread. His stomach was hungry because he vomited during the trip. "Is it far away Man? How many more minutes?" Ask Maryati.

"An hour, ma'am" replied the Word.

"What's? We want you to die on the street?" Shouted Maryati.

"Kok mom said that anyway, yes it's not Mom," replied the Word.

"Why didn't you tell me that it's been so far and all this time?" Maryati.

Firman only looked down when his mother continued to nag, even though he had told earlier that the journey was far away. Firman felt dizzy, but he had just taken his mother away from Arman for a few hours.

Ah, I can't imagine Arman so patiently staying with mom all this time, the Inner Word.

Maryati forced herself to continue the journey, she had asked to ride the rickshaw only. Unreasonable demand, with a car alone can be an hour, what about a three-wheeled vehicle that is driven manually by humans. Word was overwhelmed by his mother's request.

"We have arrived Mom" said Firman woke his mother who was asleep because of weakness. He was drunk again and was not strong until he finally went to sleep.

Did mom faint, huh? Inner Word.

But soon, his mother woke up. He was happy when his son said the journey was over. He descended in high spirits, staring at the luxurious mansion before him.

"Well, this is bigger than Ani's house" he murmured softly.

They also walked to the house, where there was Kinan who welcomed her husband. Kinan's face turned sour as he looked at the woman beside the Word. While Maryati was very happy to see her son-in-law welcoming her in the house.
