The Third Party

28. Family Money

Holy jeez!!!

My in-laws could ask me that. I'm really disappointed. Can't he think positively of me for a moment? Even in a state of pain can think negatively of me.

Duhai mother-in-law, be aware. No one wants to take the time to take care of you. I'm the "only" daughter-in-law who's been trying to take care of you and take care of your home while you're sick. At least thank me a little, don't even suspect I took your money.

"I don't reduce it at all, not a single sheet. I can ask Mas Hasan how much money he put on me. Later you can know the money is still intact or not!"

My in-laws fell silent and kept the money.

"Does mom need anything else?" I'm just impatient. I want to get out of this room immediately.

"No."

Not to lose my disappointment with my in-laws, Heni came with her husband. She put on her arrogant face as soon as she got out of her husband's car. Of course he was arrogant, now he was as rich as his brothers.

Without greeting me he went straight into the house. While her husband was much more polite, willing to reprimand and shake hands with me.

Now I can clearly see the face of Heni's husband. For the beautiful size of Heni, her husband looks far from handsome. Even impressed jomplang if side by side with Heni. But it doesn't seem like a problem, as long as he's rich. Isn't that what they want? Richings.

I wanted to say hello back but I'm still trying to remember her name. Who yes, ah ... Aldi.

"Hi Aldi, how are you?" my reply. He was nice to me so I was kind to him. "Come in, mom's in the room."

"Good Ma'am. I bring this in first," he replied as he showed me the fruit parcel he was carrying. Then Aldi followed Heni into his mother's room.

I went to the living room to see Damar and packed my things. Heni will take care of his mother. So me and Handi can go home, I thought. Soon, Sandy will also be home from her office.

True allegations. I heard the sound of Handi's motor coming.

"How's mom doing?" ask Handi as soon as she finds me in the living room.

"It's much better. I can sit and eat by myself."

"Oh ... Mercifully. Thank you, yes" he said, kissing my forehead. Only Handi appreciates my efforts to take care of her mother.

"I want to see my mother. Who's in his room? Are there any guests? Who's in front of the car? Not Mas Harun's car or Mas Hasan's," asked without pause.

"No, it's Heni and her husband."

"They're coming?!"

"Yes, Mas Hasan came this afternoon."

"Mas Hasan is coming too?!"

"Yes, but just a little while and go." Instead of being happy to hear my story because his brothers have come to see the condition of his mother, Handi just looks disappointed.

"Why Han?"

"It's okay."

Haven't had time to answer my question, Heni and her husband came to us.

"Han, I want to go home."

"You're not staying over?" ask Handi.

"Why?"

"Kok why? Don't you want to accompany mom? Mom is sick."

"I'm married now. I already have my own house, of course I go home. I have to accompany my husband."

"Hen?! Don't you feel sorry for mom?"

"What should I have to pity? I have money, Mas Hasan and Mas Harun give it. Want nothing to buy. I also brought my mother food. Who should accompany mom yes you because you gave nothing!" What kind of answer is this? I was so angry to hear it.

"Or you can get your wife who never contributed anything to take care of you!" Heni pointed his eyeballs at me.

"Your path is Heni!" Handi's eyes stared intently at Heni, hinting at him if he was holding back his anger.

"Dam ... Never mind. Its alright. We can stay here again." I said to appease Handi. Then his gaze returned. Not that I'm afraid of Heni, but why serve him? Handi is just a waste of his energy if it serves an unconscious person like Heni. After all, his mother was sick, did her son fight just because of throwing each other who would take care of his mother?

And once again I'm doing this for Handi. Given how my in-laws suspected me, I didn't actually accept it. But I won't let Handi alone take care of her mother.

"I want to go home!"

Handi remained silent not to answer Heni. Even until a few minutes after the departure of Heni, Handi was still silent. Perhaps he was disappointed thinking about the attitude of his brothers.

"It's okay Han, we can stay here until mom gets well. Don't you think about it."

"How could I not think of it? Mom is sick, Mas Hasan just came to give money after that go home. Mas Aaron did not even take the time to see the state of the mother, just transfer some money. Heni, who had been the golden child of the mother also only came for a while and then came home. Why are they like that? I can't imagine what my mother's fate would be if I stayed away from her" Handi replied languidly.

I don't know how to respond to Handi's words. I myself do not understand the mind of this family. Everything is valued by money. Their mother was sick they were not worried as long as her mother was given money. So did the mother. He himself was sick no one accompanied anything as long as his son sent or gave money. Then Handi who is considerate and caring is not considered because it does not give money.

Money, money, money!

In the evening, Handi delivers her mother's dinner to her room. If there is a Handi then Handi will serve all the needs of his mother. I just helped prepare it. Handi didn't come out soon, maybe he was feeding his mother.

I was about to go into my in-laws room to deliver the fruits I had finished peeling for my in-laws. But as I was about to knock on the door I heard my in-laws talking about me.

"If your wife doesn't want to stay here for a while, just tell her to come home. Let you stay here alone without your wife."

"Emma doesn't mind staying here to accompany mom. Why do you say that?"

"Last afternoon I heard she wanted to go home. If she wants to go home, just tell her to go home by herself."

I forgot that the walls in this house have ears. Even my sick in-laws could hear my and Handi's conversation. Her, from so many conversations why is that all he heard and questioned? Why didn't she bother with her daughter who only came a few minutes straight home? Why didn't he question Hasan who hadn't even met him yet but went straight home? Why didn't he bother with his other daughters-in-law who didn't even come to see him? Why am I the only one who is always the main problem?

"Mom, I've already pressed the fruit. Eating a lot of fruit can make the mother's condition recover quickly." I went in without permission. Acting like I heard nothing is best.
