While laying down in the contest during the day today, I slightly squealed the temple trying to throw away all the burden of the mind.
I knew if I was constantly like this just being at home, then, my life would never progress.
"I have to work and make my own money, so that the in-laws and Mas Haris don't look me in the eye."
I remembered that having a contact name of a friend named Riska and she had a shop and laundry business, I thought I could ask for help to become one of the workers in her shop.
So, I took the phone and immediately searched the contact's name and contacted him.
"Hello good morning, assalamualaikum," I said kindly.
"Hello, hi, Laila you haven't called me in a long time."
"Actually I called you to ask Riska for a little help" I said slowly.
"What is that, Laila?"
"I want to work in your store or laundry place" I asked.
"Well will your husband allow it? I know that if you're busy taking care of your in-laws and your house, don't your in-laws mind?"
"They won't ban me because they have a new son-in-law, too,". My answer.
"What do you mean they already have a new son-in-law?"
"Mas Harris is married again" I replied slightly.
"What?! Astaghfirullahaladzim, then what happened to you, Lai?"
"I don't know, maybe that's how it feels to be a little neglected."
"Oh my God, I'm sorry about your situation, when will you come to my shop and we can have a conversation here?"
"When you have time" I'm with a little positive expectation.
"Well, I'll wait for you tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, thank you, Riska."
I hung up the phone smiling happily and hugging my two children, those I embraced spontaneously and kissed, looking astonished but laughing along.
"Mother? Mother why laugh?"
"Mother will soon have a job, so can buy you playin and invite you to eat to the places you want."
"Oh, who said it's all doable?"
Suddenly my in-laws chimed in and it turned out that he had been eavesdropping on my call from behind the bedroom door.
"Ah, you're welcome!"
"Why, Mom?" askaku.
"Well if you work with children and whose home will take care of it?"
"Me and Adel can take turns."
The woman was pouting unhappily. He looked at me while pushing his lips.
"You can't leave the house."
"Adelia can go to college, Mas Haris can have two wives, and you can do anything? Why can't I work?"
He gasped in shock, there was something in his mind that I had to make him explain.
"House and child will be abandoned."
"My children they will stay home with Mom, after all I will work part-time" I replied.
"Aren't you enough with Haris's money?"
"It's not enough Mom, I want to work and make my own income."
"You're just a grudge against mom and Haris" he murmured.
"No ma'am, I just need to blame myself for all these thoughts."
"What's your mind? You're acting like a businessman who owns a company and it's a very complicated matter."
"Have you ever been cheated on by your father-in-law?"
The woman looked at me with a perfectly round look.
"Mother didn't know how devastated I felt, when Mas Haris decided to remarry, plus I had to be taken out of my own room, and see their affection every day."
"You're the one who dramatizes the problem too much, you should avoid all of it so as not to become depressed" he said, twitching his head.
Well, he's naive and selfish. It seems like I will make the father-in-law love another woman, so that she will understand what it feels like to be blown to pieces. I'm gonna
revenge on this woman.
"What are you thinking? why silence?"
"none. I'll just prepare my son's and my husband's clothes for tomorrow" I replied as I rose to the closet.

The afternoon,
There is no cuisine on the dining table, the kitchen is clean and quiet from the activity. Without the touch of my hand, no one would step in to process food.
"Where are the women in this house?"
"nadia ... Lois ...."
"Yes Ma'am ..," he said from the second floor.
soon I saw from behind the door of my room that was slightly open the girl was seen rushing down and meeting the mother-in-law.
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
"This is magrib and there is no food at the dinner table, let's take Laila to prepare dinner," he said.
The girl looked daunted and a little scared when her mother-in-law ordered her to call me.
"But Ma'am ... I'm doing the job ...."
"Tasks can be done later, your husband is hungry, after all if you cook Haris must be ...."
I saw them whispering to each other and laughing. Of course the mother-in-law whispered if Adelia cooked then Mas Haris would love her more and love her.
Ah, even if my husband really fell deeply in love with the girl, why? it has no effect on me. I used to have sincere and pure feelings for him, I had a great sense of devotion even greater than that of my parents, but now I do not want to put too much burden on myself to serve him.
Gts ... Gts ....
"Yes ...." I pretended to be busy knowing that the one who knocked was Adelia.
"Sir, the mother-in-law asked us to prepare dinner" she said.
"I'm busy ironing, just you," I said indifferently.
"But ...." The girl looked doubtful and twisted the end of her clothes.
"Why are you still standing there, your in-laws and husband are hungry" I said.
"I can't cook yet, Ma'am" he replied slowly.
"Once you fry the eggs and cook the instant noodles," I casually replied.
"But the father-in-law and Mas Haris won't like it" he said.
This time my head was boiling hearing the various reasons and refutations, For some reason the girl who looks very beautiful with a body this tall, did not want to try to intervene in the kitchen.
"Hey, if you can't cook, then you can cook instant food, if you feel bad, you can open Google and see cooking tutorials on YouTube, easy right?"
"But ...."
"You'll waste more time if you keep talking to me" I said.
I heard he sighed slowly and dragged a step away from me.
The next five minutes, Mas Haris came in and laid down on the bed, the son watching his father without saying much.
"Kok you guys just shut up? Where's the kiss and hug for dad?"
My two children were seen flinching in place, they stared at the sun at a glance and then resumed the task they wrote in their book.
"All of you why?" Mas Haris sat up and watched us take turns.
"I'm ironing Mas" I replied briefly.
"I heard you don't want to cook" he said.
"Enough Mas ... Why are you so rested lately as if looking for me because of Mas, why all the affairs of women should you interfere?! When I don't want to cook, and I have a problem with Adelia, or when I argue with my mother-in-law. Why are you different now and your mouth turns into a girl's mouth?" I said angry.
"I'm just asking?"
"For what context do you ask to reconcile or muddy the atmosphere, mother did I see your heart is now leaning towards the girl, so just do what you want Mas?"
"You've been hard to talk to lately, too" he lamented.
"Maybe my heart is still hurting, I need some time."
"And the children why are they so cold to me, have you influenced them?"
Instantly my ears felt the intense heat, my heart was pierced by his words, and my breath became heavy withstanding anger.
"Ask your son, did I teach them to be rude to you?"
She looked at me and the children took turns as well as our children who looked confused by her parents' debate.
"I don't understand, Laila."
He got up and opened the door and walked away, before he was so far away I immediately said.
"From tomorrow I'll work."
He turned around and was stunned then asked me,
"Why? with whose permission can you work?"
", i don't need to ask permission, I have the right to work and enjoy my life as much as you have the right to do anything you want!"
"I am your husband!" snapped it.
"And I am your wife and treat me as you glorify Adelia."
We looked at each other with eyes filled with flashes of anger, my two in-laws hurriedly came up to us and they were also stunned by what was happening.
The girl who liked to look for that face, seemed to also rush out of the kitchen door while holding sutil and teflon in her hands.
Ah, all demons!
