The Cottage of In-Law Tak Indah

Mutual Support

"Can't Rani stay here for a while?" ask Aunt Rani.

Miss Rosa nodded her head. "Of course you can, Ran. You can stay here. Isn't that right, Bran?" reply Miss Rosa.

So Gibran nodded his head as well. "Of course you can, Auntie. In fact, Aunty can accompany Mother as well. Pardon Gibran and Giselle who still have to work and go home," replied Gibran.

"Thank you, Bran. You are a good figure. Oh my God, Aunt is grateful. When Amel was kicked out of Aunt's own house that Aunty thought of when she went to Teteh's house."

Indeed that is what Aunt Rani thinks that she wants to go to her Teteh house alone. The only brother he has. Especially considering Gibran and Giselle are good figures they must be willing to accommodate him for a while.

"It's okay, Auntie. Gibran is no problem. If Shandy's looking for how's Auntie?" ask Gibran.

Aunt Rani took a deep breath. He thought about that too. Because, Shandy could come and take her home. However, Aunt Rani now shook her head slowly.

"If you can, Auntie wants to be here first, Bran. Auntie wants to set the heart first. Living in the Aunt's own house makes Auntie feel depressed. In addition, so that Aunt's feet heal first," replied Aunt Rani.

Hearing what Aunt Rani said, Gibran also pityed. It is certain that living in his own house actually makes Aunt Rani depressed. While at a time like this, Miss Rosa did some self-introspection. Realizing first like that Giselle who chose to go from home because she felt depressed in her own home.

"Sometimes Aunty is thinking, what is Auntie doing? From the morning of the blind, Aunt was awake. Trying to make the kitchen billow, when Shandy and Amel were still sleeping, Auntie was awake. The washing machine is working. The tea is ready. Until, finally Auntie continues to take care of household work. Washing, drying, until ironing, all Aunts do. Unfortunately, Aunt's daughter-in-law is acting more and more outrageous," said Aunt Rani.

Giselle who heard the story alone, her heart turned bitter. According to Giselle, what Aunt Rani did was very meritorious. Giselle believes household activities are paralyzed, when Aunt Rani leaves the house.

"Patience well, Aunt. A little added patience makes us have understanding and an airy heart" Giselle replied.

Actually that's what Giselle always instilled into her own heart. That he must be patient. If today, patience is drained then he must add patience again. Because, with that patience alone Giselle can survive and continue to survive.

"Tante's been through all of this for over a year, Selle. O God, Aunt sinned for opening her own daughter-in-law's disgrace. Should Aunty be able to cover up her sin," replied Aunt Rani sobbing in her tears.

"It's okay, Auntie. If it can no longer be detained already, just filtered it. We're all here to support each other" said Giselle.

That's what Giselle said. Indeed, when really heavy burden should be shared. Giselle was once in a position of grasping her own wounds. Drowning in an inner conflict that seems endless. However, she could tell Gibran, and her husband simply asked her to be patient.

Now, Giselle seemed to be picking fruit from her patience. Her relationship with her mother-in-law was also restored. There is no harm in stressing yourself to be patient.

"Thank you very much, Neng Giselle," replied Aunt Rani.

"Together, Aunt. Sorry, Auntie's been eating yet? Want to buy some food, Auntie?" ask Giselle.

Aunt Rani shook her head. "No, Auntie has no intention of eating. Still sad, Selle," replied Aunt Rani.

Actually Aunt Rani's heart feels so painful. The stomach no longer feels hungry. I was hurt by what her own daughter-in-law did.

"Don't do it, Ran. Must eat. Moreover, you have to eat because there is a drug that must be taken after eating," replied Miss Rosa.

After being persuaded finally Aunt Rani wants to eat. Just a little because actually Aunt Rani also still feels crowded. After that, Giselle also took a glass of water and helped her to take medicine. Aunty Rani's tears are back.

"Thank you Neng Giselle, where Amel once treated her Mama-in-law like this," she replied by pressing her chest that felt tight.

Giselle gently rubbed the back of Aunt Rani slowly. "Patience well, Aunt. In every trial, God gives his wisdom. There's Giselle, Mom, and Mas Gibran here. We can support each other" he said.

Aunt Rani responded by nodding her head. She felt that Giselle was a warm and gentle figure. It was also true that her guess was that Giselle was a kind and gentle person.

"Thank you very much Neng Giselle" said Aunt Rani.

Miss Rosa is also moved to see Giselle who can be so good with others. Really, it used to be that Giselle's kindness like this she never saw because she chose to close her eyes and heart, choosing to hate Giselle. Even Miss Rosa could hate Giselle for no reason.

"Alright, Mom and Aunt rest at home well. Giselle and Mas Gibran say goodbye, what can you do?" ask Giselle.

Both nodded their heads. Moreover, Miss Rosa also knew Giselle and Gibran from returning to work directly to her home and had not rested at all.

"Just rest, Selle. You're also just pregnant, don't get tired. Thank you very much" said Miss Rosa.

"Yes, Mom. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us both yes, Mom," replied Giselle.

"Yes, rest. Poor your baby. Again, I thank you, Dad" replied Miss Rosa.

Now Giselle and Gibran go home. Once home, Giselle reflexively hugged her husband.

"Kangen" said Giselle.

"Sama, but you're tired for sure. From work and now at home. I cook warm water, take a bath with warm water well," Gibran replied as he hugged Giselle.

"Hug it for five minutes, Mas. I'm sad to see Aunt Rani like that. What's not good, how can his daughter-in-law be like that" replied Giselle.

"Really, Honey. You used to be good, my mother wasn't good. However, I am very grateful that your relationship with Mom has started to improve slowly. Thank you dear, you are a forgiving figure" Gibran replied.

Giselle was silent, she was still hugging Gibran. Honestly, it feels sad when a good parent is treated like a daughter-in-law. Giselle felt that what Amel did was too late.

"Udah take a shower first. The important thing is that Aunt Rani is safe at home" Gibran replied.

"Yes, Mas. If it can heal first. The wound on her leg will heal first" replied Giselle.

They do not hesitate to support Aunt Rani. At least until his feet heal. Help bear the burden, that's what Giselle and Gibran will do.
