The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

Son and daughter-in-law of Aunt Rani

In a different place ....

Precisely at the residence of Aunt Rani, now Miss Rosa met her nephew named Shandy. Yes, Aunt Rani only has one child who she named Shanya Wibowo who is now 26 years old. However, Shandy is married to a woman of his own choice named Amel.

Shandy was almost like Gibran when he married and chose to take his wife to live in his parents' house. The consideration is the same, because Aunt Rani has been widowed. Pity to have to live alone. Therefore, Shandy chose to invite Amel to stay at his house.

"Shandy, say hello there is Aa Gibran's mother coming," said Aunt Rani who asked Shandy to greet her Brother Mama. Shandy is also known as Aa Gibran, because his maternal cousin is also just Gibran.

"Tante Rosa .. how are you?" say hello to Miss Rosa.

"Okay, Shan ... How are you? Which wife?" ask Miss Rosa.

Rosa asked so because she had not seen her sister's daughter-in-law named Amel. Now, all it looks like is Shandy. Therefore, Miss Rosa asked where her wife Shandy was.

"Still working, Auntie. Understandably, Amel works in hospitality. So sometimes the morning shift, sometimes the night shift even though not often," Shandy replied.

Hearing Shandy's answer that his wife works in hospitality makes Bu Rosa who is indeed negative-minded it increasingly so. She strongly disagrees when women work until night, let alone late into the night, until the night shift and home early in the morning. However, Ms. Rosa chose to be quiet and not to comment.

"Have you got a baby? If Auntie doesn't remember wrong, you've been married for a year" asked Miss Rosa again.

"Never, Aunt. One year mah is still a newlywed, Auntie. Enjoying the two of you first" Shandy replied.

There Aunty Rani also raised her voice. Shandy and Amel's wedding was one year. It is still new. In addition, Shandy and Amel did not target. Prefer to go through everything slowly.

"Yes, Tea. Just one year. Still young too. Later if God has given a baby, surely Amel will be pregnant," replied Aunt Rina.

After that, Shandy said goodbye to enter his room. I want to rest after a long day of work. Again, in her mind Miss Rosa did not accept. He has the view that when married, he should have children. No need to wait too long. After all, the child is indeed what is expected of a couple when they are married.

Next Day ....

At about 07:00, Amel just returned from the hotel where he worked. As a hotel clerk, Amel was wearing a uniform that printed his body, knee-length skirt, and legs exposed. Make up should be clearly visible. With hair styled in such a way.

The first time I saw Amel, Miss Rosa stroked my chest. She with her contemporary thinking could not accept the appearance of such a woman. Too open and tight.

"That's Amel huh, Ran?" ask Miss Rosa to Aunt Rani, her sister.

"Yes, Tea. The uniform is from the hotel, yes," replied Aunt Rani.

"That's not too tight, is it, Ran? Duh, the woman's aura is spread everywhere. So Shandy isn't angry?"

Miss Rosa could not understand Shandy and her younger brother's way of thinking. How to let a woman out of the house in tight clothes and short skirts. If it was her daughter-in-law, Miss Rosa would have been nagging for hours. It would not be possible to work in such a uniform. Miss Rosa remembered, Giselle who was late and came home late at night, she was angry. Now there are actually those who come home early because of the night shift. It's totally unacceptable.

"The demands of the work are all kinds, Tea. Incidentally, Amel is indeed working in hotels with shift systems. Than unemployed. That way the results of his studies in hospitality are also used," replied Aunt Rani.

Now Miss Rosa is silent. All of that is also because it is not her family to interfere even though actually Miss Rosa is disturbed by the situation at her sister's house. In the morning, Rani prepares all the meals for breakfast herself. Her daughter-in-law did not come out of the room, and did not help to prepare her breakfast.

An hour later, at approximately 08:00 it was time for breakfast. The family sat together at the dining table with Shandy and Amel. There Amel also greeted Miss Rosa.

"Morning, Aunt Rosa ...."

"Hmm, yes ... morning."

Miss Rosa gave an answer without looking at Amel. All that is also because the low-collar clothes worn by Amel assessed Bu Rosa too open. It is impolite to wear clothes with such low cut.

"Mama, just cook this, Ma? No soup?" ask Amel to Aunt Rani.

"No soup, Amel. Tomorrow Mama's cooking your favorite soup well," replied Aunt Rani.

Amel looked upset. He should want to enjoy a warm soup, with vegetable cuts. He can warm his body after a night of work. However, now at the dinner table there is no hot soup of his favorite.

"Ck, when the morning is this cold, Ma. It's good to eat soup," replied Amel.

Silently, again Miss Rosa asked Amel it was not polite why she had not got up and made her own soup. No need to ask her mother-in-law. After all, the mother-in-law must be respected, not made a cook at home.

"Tomorrow Mama make ya," replied Aunt Rani patiently.

Shandy nodded his head. "Just be Mom, Ma. Don't force it either" Shandy said.

Feeling that the breakfast menu was not in accordance with his taste, Amel chose to resign.

"Breakfast this morning, there's nothing Amel likes. Amel better sleep in the room," he said by leaving the dining table.

Miss Rosa's frustration grows. Her sister had cooked in such a way for breakfast, without the help of her daughter-in-law just left the dining table under the pretext of not being in accordance with her taste. In her home alone Giselle never dared to be like this. Though Miss Rosa is very sure that Amel is not as rich as Giselle. However, Giselle, his daughter-in-law never left the dining table on the grounds of not taste with the existing cuisine. Instead, Giselle wants to wake up early and help cook. Although the cuisine is not so good, but Giselle was still polite.

"Aid is not polite. If he's my son-in-law, I'm omelette every day. Not polite!"

Ms. Rosa muttered in her own heart and was very unhappy with Amel, her attitude was considered disrespectful. There was a sense that what Giselle was doing was much more polite. Much better than his sister's son-in-law.
