The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

Cold War

Even though he apologized to his mother. Presumably, Miss Rosa herself still refused to apologize to Gibran and Giselle. What is now, is precisely his heart is now so hardened. Getting along with Gibran and Giselle.

Therefore, it seems that for several days, Miss Rosa was reluctant to invite Giselle and Gibran to speak. When greeted in the morning or in the afternoon when both of them came home from work together, there was precisely Miss Rosa chose silence. It was as if a cold war had taken place between the two camps.

"Mom, Gibran's off tomorrow. Where do you want to take a walk? Gibran and Giselle are going to take Mom for a walk" Gibran asked her now.

However, Miss Rosa did not give an answer at all. Just shut up and give no answer at all. Gibran let out a long breath.

"O Allah, raise Gibran's heart. Prolong patience for Gibran. May Gibran remain patient with Mother. May God soften her heart, Mother."

Gibran could only hope inwardly that he begged God to be patient with his mother. Being patient is not easy. There are only triggers that make someone seem out of control and also become emotional. Therefore, Gibran kept silent and begged the long-suffering God to give him patience as well.

Not giving up until there, Gibran also then invited his mother to talk again. "Mom, if Gibran wants to go to Jakarta tomorrow?"

Now, Miss Rosa did not answer. Gibran was confused. What exactly makes his mother so silent this. 28 years of his life and know the figure of the mother, never before his mother was silent for days.

Not getting an answer, Gibran then chose to climb into his room. "Darling" called Gibran to his wife who was in the room.

"Hm, yes Mas ... why?" ask Giselle later.

"Mother is still angry and won't talk" he told his wife.

Giselle looked at her husband. It is also with her husband's condition like this. Finally, Giselle spoke to her husband.

"The "peak of anger is usually silent, Mas. Silence does not solve problems, but it adds to them. All because of me, huh Mas? So the cold war is like gini" replied Giselle.

Giselle knew it was all because she had chosen to return to her cottage. From then on, the angry Miss Rosa chose to be quiet and not speak at all. Giselle knows herself too.

"No really. It's not your fault" Gibran replied.

Giselle looked at her husband again. "Mas, if I'm just a woman who makes your relationship and mother become damaged, better free me from this relationship" said Giselle.

As much as Giselle is in love with Gibran, but if she makes a child lose her mother's love, Giselle feels guilty. Even Giselle was willing if in the end, Gibran released her in this marriage.

"Not so, dear," replied Gibran.

"I know, no matter how much we love. However, in reality we do not get the blessing of your mother. So, I'm the one who left. I'm sincere," replied Giselle.

At the same time, Gibran shook his head. "Don't, never leave my side" Gibran said.

"Rather than the situation at home as if divided into two camps. The Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc. There was a cold war. So, let me give up" replied Giselle.

After saying that, Gibran chose to lay himself on the bed. Now Gibran is like a wall where he himself is squeezed. Between his own mother and wife. Two women are equally valuable to Gibran. Two women who, if they could, wanted Gibran to defend and pay attention according to the portion.

Hose Several Days ....

Although silent, actually Giselle is a sensitive person. She knows where her husband's heart and mind are right now. For sure it is a divided mind and heart. Not with another woman, but thinking of her and her mother.

Rosa was silent too. Since Giselle returned home, breakfast was also cooked by Giselle. What is cooked in the morning will be stored and warmed for dinner later. Otherwise, sometimes in the afternoon Giselle cooks again for dinner.

Three people were in one house, but no one spoke. While Giselle talked to Gibran also only while in the room only. The rest is silent too.

"So, cooking women are not becus. Make Oseng Kangkung aja salty like gini," the voice of Bu Rosa finally echoed at the dinner table.

The three of them were having dinner. Giselle makes Oseng Kangkung and Fried Chicken. The simple thing is, because Giselle can only cook in the afternoon. It sounded like Miss Rosa was putting a plate so hard on the dinner table, that Giselle was shocked by it.

"I'm sorry, Mom," replied Giselle.

There was no response from Miss Rosa. Gibran who was sitting there sighed, staring at his mother and wife in turn. Her mother's face was already so sour, while Giselle could only lower her face.

Usain the atmosphere at the dining table became very unpleasant. Gibran again squeezed. Defending his wife, must be his mother who does not accept. If it speaks to her mother, and it hurts Giselle.

"Had Mother said, women say nothing. Make Oseng Kangkung that is easy to learn. The hoe is still hard. What a rich man's son can do!"

Again Giselle listened to the spicy voice of her mother-in-law. It was as if what Giselle was doing was still wrong. Like the word forward or backward. He was always blamed, and always his background as a rich kid was brought along.

"I'm sorry Giselle, Mom," Giselle replied again.

There Giselle tried hard to hold back her tears had not fallen. Even though his own heart is in great pain now. Even for mistakes that are only sought, Giselle also wants to apologize.

It may also be the end of the cold war because her mother is back nagging. However, still all the emotions and anger were vented to Giselle.

"Mom, this is not so salty and edible!" Gibran replied.

As a husband, if Gibran is silent, it feels wrong. Therefore, he speaks so. Indeed Oseng Kangkung made by Giselle is not so salty, it can still be eaten.

"Do keep going your wife! Because you are always defending so he never learns. The wedding has been two years, still make the cuisine just not becus!"

The heart of Giselle. It's so bad to be the son-in-law who is always looking for his mistakes. However, this treatment has also been received by Giselle always two years.
