The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

Listening to the Honesty of Children and Daughters-in-law

Gibran and Giselle just kept quiet and looked at each other. Both have their own thoughts and fears. In addition, what they faced was not the actor or the player, but what they faced was their own in-laws. It feels taboo and shame to uncover how the household tempests during his stay with his in-laws.

"Don't shut. We as parents also deserve to know not for everything that happened to you two?"

Papa Jaya explained slowly. He also hopes that Giselle and Gibran can open up to him. There's no need to be afraid.

"Open up .. there's no need to be afraid, because Mama and Papa don't want you to be afraid. Respect us as parents, and make us friends to exchange ideas" said Papa Jaya.

Giselle was silent because she gave her husband time to be able to explain everything. However, Gibran had the authority to explain everything to his in-laws. After all, Papa Jaya has spoken that she only wants to exchange ideas with her children.

"Look, Papa .. actually there are problems in both of our households. Not because of a third party, not because Gibran loved Giselle so much. However, the problems in our household were caused by Mother Gibran himself. Sorry, Gibran could not explain clearly. After all, she was a noble woman who had conceived Gibran for nine months, gave birth, and raised Gibran. For sure, we stayed here because Gibran wanted to find a middle ground. Gibran wants to love Giselle, and take care of Mom. That's all," Gibran told his in-laws.

How detailed the problem is, Gibran could not explain in detail. What is certain is that he wants to care about his wife and mother. Although unfair, because justice is also relative, but Gibran is trying to balance the two.

"Why haven't you ever told a story?" ask Papa Jaya.

Giselle was now the one shaking her head. "We want to solve it ourselves, Papa. However, maintaining the relationship between the two families is not easy. Therefore, Giselle never told Mama and Papa."

Mama Diana, who looked hurt, looked with pity at her youngest daughter. "Your mother and father had a happy life, but our children's marriage was scarred. Your brother who is now in prison, until you are hated by his mother-in-law. Mama's sad, Selle. We want our children to have a happy marriage. Don't shut yourself up too much, Giselle. If, you don't tell me how we know about you two" said Diana.

"Giselle thought that with more days she could love and accept Giselle, Ma. Mother-in-law is the same as a mother, right? Giselle also misses like Mama and Papa who love Mbak Kanaya. Giselle also misses married life as Ms. Kanaya and Mas Bhishma now. Happy together, dear Mama and Papa, and also loved by the Mas Bisma family. Is that all impossible, Ma?"

Yes, Giselle also misses you happy married life like Kanaya and Bhishma. Kanaya gets affection from the Wardhana family and from her husband's family. Expecting such a thing would be impossible for Giselle?

"Not wrong, son .. We expect the right and the good to be no mistake. What is wrong is that we expect what is not good for others. But so far, Papa has been proud of you. Not easy not to look at the in-laws? However, you do not retaliate, do not take the oath, still respect the mother. A mother, however, is a mother. What next step do you want to take?" ask Papa Jaya now.

"Gibran anyway by taking the house here, can while taking care of Mom, Papa. After all, her son's mother is only Gibran. While my mother also lives alone. Gibran's lucky Giselle's so understanding, Pa. Gibran can go back and forth to the house. Although not seatap, it does not mean Gibran does not love Mom, right?"

Gibran. To be honest, Gibran is actually an introverted man and trying to explain his heart like this is very young. Gibran also tried to be honest. Although the problems of the three of them do not need to be explained in detail.

Papa Jaya and Mama Diana nodded their heads. Know the Gibran situation now. They also understand Gibran must be depressed. It's just that Gibran's silent character may not be able to tell everything to others.

"Yes, come close. Just show that you always love and care about your mother. A daughter-in-law is not a rival to her in-laws. And vice versa. So, just slow down Gibran ... patient," replied Papa Jaya.

There is something that Papa Jaya points out that both in-laws and daughter-in-laws are not rivals. Both can love each other like parents and children. Even a good and caring daughter-in-law is a blessing to in-laws. Not infrequently in-laws are given a daughter-in-law who is very good than the attitude of her own biological children.

"Yes, Pa.. Let Giselle be here, at least Giselle needs peace. Gibran alone will go back and forth to his house Mother," Gibran replied.

"If you two committed to marriage how?" ask Papa Jaya to Gibran and Giselle.

"Gibran loves Giselle very much, Pa. Gibran did not give his best. Gibran believes slowly with hard work we can achieve. Pardon Gibran, Pa... in these two years, there hasn't been much that Gibran has done for Giselle" he replied.

The commitment to love and always be together is certainly there. However, Gibran realized in these two years he could not give a luxurious life to Giselle. There was shame in her father-in-law being so rich. While Gibran itself is only a worker in ordinary companies. Especially now, surely this simple house is not comparable to the luxurious mansion of the Wardhana family.

"Giselle also loves Mas Gibran, Pa. What Giselle is looking for is not luxury. What Giselle is looking for is a happy married life. Many times the treasures of the world can't bring happiness, Pa. Giselle also doesn't mind living like this. As long as there is Mas Gibran, the bond of our hearts is strong, God willing.

"Gibran, your mother said you bought this house with public housing credit for 15 years? Is that true?" ask Papa Jaya.

Apparently at his house his mother had spoken that was not-not to say also to her in-laws about this house purchased with a rakayat housing credit system. However, Gibran also chose to be honest.

"Yes, Pa ... Gibran took KPR. Sorry, Pa.... looks embarrassing well?" gibran asked with his face down.

"No, Gibran. There's nothing wrong. Not embarrassing either. It is precisely your seriousness to protect and provide a sense of security for your daughter. In fact, you didn't ask Papa for help at all. That means you are the man in charge. Papa is just proud of you," replied Papa Jaya.

Yes, Papa Jaya is someone who appreciates the process. Instead he felt proud of Gibran because as a husband, he had struggled to provide a sense of security and protection for his daughter. Two years late, but it's safer than not doing it at all. In addition, if Gibran did want Wardhana's plentiful possessions, Papa Jaya could voluntarily give them away. However, Gibran did not. He prefers to work hard, the real form that the man is a person who is willing to process and also willing to work hard.

"Mr ...."

Gibran's voice was accompanied by a long sigh. Didn't expect that his wealthy father-in-law was proud of him. In fact, Gibran believes he has not been able to provide luxury for Giselle.

"Continue processing, Gibran. Papa is sure someday all your hard work will bear sweet fruit. Papa didn't offer any help either. Because, Papa is sure you also would not want to accept it, right?" ask Papa Jaya now.

Gibran and Giselle both smiled. It was also because his father already knew the character of his son-in-law. Not going to offer help doesn't mean stingy. However, it is a form of appreciating the efforts of Gibran who is willing to work hard and also try to bring happiness in his own way for Giselle.

"Yes, Papa .. don't help Gibran with pity. Gibran did not. Gibran can work hard. What is certain is that Papa's daughter will not overheat and rain. Worship also Gibran can give although not much. All is enough" he replied.

Papa Jaya nodded her head. "Papa knows your character. However, Papa wants to help buy a little household furniture. This time you can't refuse" Papa Jaya told Gibran and Giselle.

"Pa, no need," replied Giselle first.

"Thank you yeah .. not pity. It's Mama and Papa's love for you. Your house bill, it's Gibran's business. Papa just wants to buy furniture. In the past, Papa also bought it for Sister-in-law Sandra, and for Ms. Kanaya. Same. The three children, Papa and Mama treated the same," replied Papa Jaya.

"Thank you, Pa. .. thank you for letting Gibran work hard and pay the home installments" Gibran replied.

"Yes, keep working hard, Gibran. If you want to move to Jakarta. Jaya Corp needs a hard worker like you, Gibran. You can work with Ms. Kanaya. Developing Jaya Corp," replied Papa Jaya.

Gibran smiled slowly. "Sorry, Papa .. If we move to Jakarta, no one takes care of Mom. Loves the suffering of an only child," he replied.

Papa Jaya responded by nodding her head. Very familiar with Gibran's condition now. Indeed he was only an only child, now his time and attention were also divided for his mother first.

"Papa knows that too. Jaya Corp will advance in the hands of young people who want to work hard, want to see the times, and want to move forward quickly. Ms. Kanaya has just started Papa prepare in that direction," I Papa Jaya honestly.

"According to Giselle, Ms. Kanaya the right figure, Pa... for many years in Jaya Corp also produced good results," said Giselle.

Papa Jaya nodded her head. "Yes, he also worked neatly and was very clean. That's Kanaya's plus. Sorry, for your brother, Darren ... Papa wasn't sure to give Jaya Corp to him. He has twice damaged the image of Jaya Corp" Papa Jaya replied.

Gibran and Giselle both nodded their heads. Can understand with the views and mindset of his father. However, Giselle has agreed that Kanaya is the right person to lead Jaya Corp. While for Gibran will still try to balance life, household, and mother.
