The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

Decreased Revenue

In business, we sometimes know that the wheel can spin. Sometimes it goes up, and sometimes it goes down. Now, apparently the company where Giselle works is experiencing a financial condition that is less stable, so it must make a termination to a number of employees. As for Giselle herself and a number of other employees had to experience a reduction in their income.

Getting the news, Giselle who thought first was the monthly money for her mother-in-law. Because, when his income is reduced, it will certainly affect the amount of money he gave to his mother-in-law.

Sitting at her desk, Giselle seemed to be moving her pen and then a colleague came to her.

"Giselle, seriously so?" tanya Ayu, one of Giselle's coworkers at the company.

"Yes, just thought of something" replied Giselle.

"Why, you're safe. At least not in the GHG. Than a number of other employees. However, the Boss' decision was also correct. The stock analysis of the loe is always appropriate, it is worth maintaining here," said Ayu again.

Actually not because of PHK or safe in that company. However, what weighed on Giselle's mind now was the reduction in the income she would earn each month. However, telling them all is also unethical for Giselle. Sometimes Giselle just thinks whether her Papa company is also experiencing shocks like this.

"Already, don't think about it. Ngopi yuk," asked Ayu.

Giselle nodded her head. Choose to head to a coffee shop and buy a cold Americano. Maybe at the beginning of the month, Giselle can talk honestly with her mother-in-law.

Early months ....

Taking the hundred thousand Rupiah note from the ATM machine, Giselle let out a long sigh. If at the beginning of each month, Giselle can give money every month five million Rupiah, now Giselle can only give money of three million Rupiah. It is greatly reduced. However, when giving does not have to be adjusted to income as well?

"If you go home and give this money, I'm angry not yeah?"

There was a moment of skepticism in Giselle's heart. If you give only Five Million Rupiah, the affection of the in-laws based on the calendar. What if I only gave three million dollars. Will her mother-in-law be angry. Because for anticipation, Giselle went back inside and took another Five Hundred Rupiah. The total amount of money in the envelope is Rp. 3,500,000,-. Giselle hoped that her mother-in-law would not be angry with her.

Traveling for about half an hour, Giselle has now arrived home. All she did was go to her room first, take a bath, then Giselle went down again to look for her mother-in-law.

"Mother, what's new?" asked Giselle who came to her mother-in-law reading a book in the living room.

"Just read a book, Sell. What's up?" ask Miss Rosa.

In the midst of his current reluctance, Giselle still ventured to speak to her mother-in-law. "Mother, this ... conditions in the Giselle company have not stabilized, after a massive PHK in the company. Meanwhile, for employees who still work there income is reduced. Giselle also experienced a decline in income. So, starting this month, sorry the amount of money Giselle gave to Mom the amount also reduced. Because Giselle's own salary is also reduced a lot," he explained.

Giselle did not speak lies, but rather she spoke truthfully. In fact, Giselle also explained the condition of her company in detail to her mother-in-law. With hope, not just scolded by her mother-in-law.

"Rp.3.500.000,- Ma'am .. sorry. You see, Giselle's own salary is also reduced by so much."

Hearing the nominal amount that Giselle could give, the look on Bu Rosa's face instantly changed. The book he had originally read, he put it on the table. Afterwards, he asked Giselle.

"You give it five million a month, to live and eat is fine. Especially just that, Sell."

When Ms. Rosa spoke, Gibran just came from the office. The man approached the living room. Actually just want to know what his mother and wife are talking about right now.

"Assalamu'alaikum, ma'am .. Why does it look tense here?"

Gibran who had just returned home asked why the atmosphere in the living room was tense. Giselle is still holding a brown envelope with some money inside.

"This, Giselle can not give more monthly money Five Million Rupiah. Diminishes. He said the company where the new work is not good" Ms. Rosa replied.

Giselle nodded her head. "Yes Mas. Some employees at PHK, while those who are still working must receive a reduction in income. So, I can only give it to you this way, sorry."

"Living three with five million rupiahs every month has been mepet, Bran. Especially if reduced. Cook yes, we didn't eat in the last week" Ms. Rosa replied with a sharp look at Giselle.

"Mas, isn't there? If there's even the rest of it," pinta Giselle now.

Gibran let out a rough sigh. Tired of work, not greeted with a smile and friendly people at home. But now we are talking about money.

"The company I work for is also in bad shape. Sorry, Sell .. I haven't been able to help" Gibran said.

From the beginning, Giselle's earnings were much higher than Gibran's. Now, as Giselle's earnings decline, her husband can't help either. Though the anger of her mother-in-law must have been against Giselle, not to anyone else.

"Sorry, Ma'am ... Gibran couldn't help. Installment of electricity and water every month is already expensive for Gibran," he replied.

Now, Miss Rosa became very upset. Can not get money income from Giselle, can only suffice with the nominal.

"Do you have any personal savings? You're a rich kid, can't your parents help you?"

Giselle quickly shook her head. "Can't, Mom. All this time, Giselle never talked to Mom and Dad" she replied.

It's hard being Giselle. Depressed physically, mentally, and financially. It felt sad when her mother-in-law started babbling the no-no. If it is like this, you have to be patient and sin a lot.
