The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

The Arrival of Aunt Rani Arrived

Hose Two Days Later ....

In the afternoon when dark cloudy covers the city of Bandung. It was as if it was going to rain soon. But the rain did not come down. The wind was blowing faster than usual.

While Giselle and Gibran who just came home from the office were thinking about the condition of his mother at home. "Close to Mom's house first, Mom. Poor Mother, in her own home, you know," she replied.

Gibran smiled. That's how Giselle is. The way Giselle loves you is by showing her attention. Just like now, Giselle who thought of her mother who was at home alone.

"Yes, after you're better off. So often nengokin mother nih," goda Gibran.

"I actually love you, Mom. I didn't go there, not out of hate. However, just to take care of the heart" replied Giselle.

"I know, Honey. Yeah, we stopped by first. Hopefully, I'm okay," Gibran replied.

After that, Gibran drove his car. He headed to his house, but this time he stopped his car at his mother's house. At the request of Giselle who wants to go home to her in-laws first.

"Mom's Assalamualaikum" said the two together.

"Waalaikumsalam," said Ms. Rosa.

"Where, ma'am ... What kind of trouble is it all day?" ask Giselle.

"What the hell, Selle. Could. Take it easy," replied Miss Rosa.

Gibran smiled and spoke to his wife. "Mom, this daughter-in-law was worried. The sky is dark cloudy and Mom is alone at home, so I want to nengokin Mom first before work."

Miss Rosa smiled. The face is gone. He was delighted and moved when Giselle noticed him. It used to be hate, until he closed his eyes and just continued to hate Giselle. His daughter-in-law is always wrong and imperfect. Now, when Gibran said so, Ms. Rosa's heart became completely warmed.

"Thank you, Selle. It's been the same attention Mom," she replied.

"Yes, Mom. Scared Mom for nothing" replied Giselle.

The faces of the three of them were blending with smiles. The mother was moved when someone noticed. Giselle was pleased that her good intentions were well received and responded to. Meanwhile, Gibran is also happy because the relationship between Miss Rosa and Giselle has really improved.

When Gibran was about to speak, apparently there was a sound of greeting and knocking from the front door of the house. So, the three of them both got up from the sofa and saw who was coming.

"Waalaikumsalam," Gibran responded by opening the door.

O God, so full of heart Gibran see who is coming now. Apparently it was Aunt Rani who came with a carry-on bag. The clothes worn by Aunt Rani was only a house shirt, and only wear flip-flops. Not only that, one leg of Aunt Rani was flushed, somewhat pelting.

"Astaghfirullah, Auntie Rani ...."

"Astaghfirullah, Rani ...."

They both sound. Absolutely not expect with the condition of Aunt Rani now. Until finally, Gibran asked for a Tante Rani tote bag. Meanwhile, Giselle invites Aunt Rani to enter her in-laws' house.

Miss Rosa was completely teary-eyed to see her sister arrive in this condition. There must have been a fight at his sister's house. The quarrel that made his sister go to his house with this condition.

Before Aunt Rani answered, Giselle saw Aunt Rani's blistered and red legs, and Giselle cut off the conversation first. "Sorry, I'd better get Aunt Mas Gibran to the doctor first. That's Auntie's feet red and blistered that way. Should be treated immediately and may get an ointment, "reply Giselle.

Now all eyes are watching Aunt Rani's feet. One of his legs looks red and red. Giselle suggests treating her leg first. The story can be reconnected later, but wounds on the legs must be treated immediately.

"Yes, Aunt. Come with Gibran for a minute to the clinic, Auntie. Just in front of the housing" Gibran replied.

According to him, Aunt Rani finally invited Gibran to the clinic first. Giselle and Miss Rosa are waiting at home. At home, Giselle calms her crying mother-in-law.

"Already, Mom. Aunt diobatin used to be. Legs hurt. Better treated first, especially after a long trip from South Bandung to here," said Giselle.

"Why again, Selle. Mother's only sister. Her late husband treated her very well. Now he has a daughter-in-law like a demon. A cruel daughter-in-law to her own in-laws" replied Miss Rosa.

While waiting at home, Giselle brewed Tea first. Although her in-laws were crying, Giselle kept asking how to brew tea so that it does not clear and the color is more concentrated. Giselle remembered that her mother-in-law liked Tea with a dense color.

Nearly fifteen minutes passed, her husband had gone home with Aunt Rani. Giselle also served tea to the four of them. Once the wound is treated, just listen to the story.

"His feet were exposed to boiling water, so it blistered like this. It was cleaned and patched. The cure has antibiotics as well" Gibran explained.

Oh my God, can't imagine when the feet were soaked in boiling water. Miss Rosa felt her heart grow more painful. Did Amel do that too?

"Who did Ran?" ask Miss Rosa.

"A ... mel, Tea ...."

Just as Bu Rosa had previously alleged that Amel was the one doing it. Seeing Amel's rude and impudent attitude, Miss Rosa was very sure that Amel did that. In his eyes Amel was truly a disobedient son-in-law.

"So, Amel asked to make boiled noodles with eggs. Then Rani made it. Apparently Rani misheard, she asked Soto Ayam, which Rani made Chicken Curry. Rani has offered to make it again, just when the water boils, the pot is dropped and hit Rani's feet. After that, he got angry and kicked Rani out of the house," the story goes.

"Astaghfirullah is a bad thing" said Miss Rosa, Giselle, and Gibran.

Aunt Rani is crying again. Shame actually told the mess in his house to his sister's family. However, when Aunt Rani is evicted from the house, the place she thought of the first time to go is her brother's house.

"Shandy knows no, Ran?" ask Miss Rosa.

"No, Tea. Shandy hasn't come home from work yet" replied Aunt Rani.

What a pity for Aunt Rani who was treated very harshly by her own daughter-in-law. Even all of that was done without Shandy. If Shandy is at home, at least someone helps Aunt Rani.

"Yes, Aunt Rani just lives here with Mom. Win heart and self first, Auntie. Does Auntie want to report Amel to the authorities? Considering what he did was not right," Gibran replied.

Quickly Aunt Rani shook her head. "There may be a mother-in-law reporting her own daughter-in-law, Bran. There never was. Let it go, Gibran. It's okay," replied Aunt Rani.

The three of them who were there were so sad to mix. It may sound unethical to report a son-in-law on his own. But even Amel's actions have crossed the line. So cruel to his own mother-in-law who had poured love and energy for Shandy and Amel.
