The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

Compassion Based on Calendar

Two weeks after the grief experienced by the Winatha family, and also with this day coinciding with payday. It was also because Giselle would dance the salary of her company on the 1st of each month. Therefore, Giselle had already taken some cash and she wanted to give it to her mother-in-law.

Previously, Giselle had negotiated first with her husband. Ask how much nominal to give to her mother-in-law. According to Giselle, regardless of the household, finances are important. Often times financial becomes a sensitive realm and can trigger a fight. Therefore, Giselle did ask her husband first.

"Mas, so how much will we give you for Mom?" ask Giselle.

"As far as you are, honey. Sorry, I can't help much. You know for yourself, if my income is far below your income every month" Gibran replied.

Not not wanting to help. However, Gibran also explained that the reality of his income is only half of Giselle's income. Many times in the field there are cases like Giselle and Gibran, because basically there are career women who have better career positions and also have a higher income than the husband.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm sincere to Mom. After all, my mother was also my parents. Cook yes, I will let the whole operation in this house not run even I have the heart when the kitchen of this house is not steaming," replied Giselle.

And neither will Giselle be that kind. Moreover, he knew that the backbone of the Winatha family was gone. So, if you have to give monthly money to her mother-in-law, Giselle does not mind.

Now ....

Giselle came home with a brown envelope containing five million Rupiahs. Giselle thought, at least five million is enough to cook every day. Yesterday, talks with Gibran, her husband, who will pay for electricity and water bills every month.

"Assalamualaikum, Mother," said Giselle as she entered her in-laws' home when she returned home from work that afternoon.

"Yes, Sell ... Just got home? Well, home is still afternoon. Don't go home at night" Miss Rosa replied.

Apparently the mother-in-law was still highlighting the day on which Giselle some came home the night. However, even going home at night is not Giselle's wish. It was also because he had to make a stock analysis that took a long time.

"I'm sorry, Mom .. that's also because Giselle has a lot of work to do" she replied.

"Yes, try to go home that afternoon. Cook no one to take care of your husband," Miss Rosa replied with a sniffle.

Not wanting to extend the conversation because Giselle was also tired and wanted to take a bath. So Giselle immediately gave the brown envelope to her mother-in-law.

"Mother, this is Giselle giving a little of Giselle's income. To cook at home," he said.

Looking at the brown envelope and strongly believing that the contents were money, the look on Ms. Rosa's face instantly changed. The face that was once worn out, is no longer.

"Together, Mother. Please accept yes, Ms. .. later every month, Giselle will give it to Mom. All right, Giselle go up to the bathroom and take a shower first huh, ma'am."

After giving that, Giselle chose to go up to her room upstairs. After that, she took a shower to refresh herself. Relieved, when could give to his in-laws.

The next day ....

This morning, Giselle had a bit of bad luck again. It was also because last night he was doing work almost midnight. Giselle was already scared first, afraid that her mother-in-law would get angry when she woke up like she had.

"Morning, Ms. .. sorry Giselle had misfortune because there was overtime last night" he said with a bowed face.

"Oh, it's okay, Sell. All the cooking is ready. Thanks to your money, you can buy fruit. Let's be healthier" he replied.

Giselle scrunched her forehead, she felt astonished because normally her mother-in-law would get angry and speak bitterly to her when she woke up a little late. Now, I was being nice to her, and not speaking at all. Honestly, in her heart Giselle was happy with her mother-in-law who was not too sniffy and judes. If she could, Giselle would want her mother-in-law to continue this well.

Three weeks later ....

Now that three weeks of time have passed, that means the calendar continues to run and go to the old date. This time, Giselle didn't wake up. However, her mother-in-law's treatment felt different.

"Don't go straight to work dong, Sell. Your cutlery and your husband are washed first" orders Miss Rosa in a slightly taut tone.

Giselle finally nodded her head, and washed her and her husband's cutlery first. Rosa's mother is now sitting in the living room, then she insinuates Giselle.

"Maclum had a son-in-law of a rich man .. So, just wash the dishes must be ordered. His hands aren't used to dish soap."

The deg!

Instantly Giselle's chest felt tight. Didn't think she'd get any insinuations from her own mother-in-law. Even when doing the dishes alone is associated with the background of Giselle who is the son of a rich person and hands that are not used to holding soap.

Really, the good attitude of her mother-in-law was apparently only based on the calendar. When the young date and Giselle after giving monthly money, the attitude of the mother-in-law will be kind and loving. Meanwhile, when the calendar entered a young date, and the monthly money increasingly brushed aside, Giselle was treated badly. Insinuated by his own in-laws. The insinuations that Giselle could hear were very clear. So sick and hurt to be the figure of Giselle, right?
