THE THOUSAND-MOUTHED BROTHER-IN-LAW

21. Secret

Pov :Tyas

It has been 2 weeks my mother-in-law has stayed here in turn, and Alhamdulillah kak benefits never did anything that hurt my heart, I also have forgotten the heartache. Yes actually I am classified as a person who is difficult to forget problems and also easily think about problems. But now I'm trying to make peace with the situation.

"Yes?" Call my mother-in-law behind the wooden door of my room. I went out to approach him.

"Yes buk? I'm sorry I overslept while breastfeeding the bitch." I said to my mother-in-law.

"What if it's noon, if the child breaks, yes you also rest so as not to get tired. You see, a little kid's night is more fussy. But if the morning do not get used to sleep, huh?" Mother-in-law understood but also did not forget to remind.

From most of the stories of women, there is always no match between daughter-in-law and in-law, especially daughter-in-law with female in-law. But thank God I have got very good and understanding in-laws. Even when I was just born, he barely allowed me to take my own food back.

"Yas Ibuk will be home tomorrow? You guys here are a little bit of a bitch?. Actually I am sad if you have to stay away from the children of Ibuk. But your brother Bandi and your husband don't want to be near Ibuk there. They're more picky here..." I saw the tears of mother-in-law had fallen soaked her already wrinkled cheeks.

Some people may see it too much, but she's my mother-in-law is a very sensitive person with the situation, that's how she shows her feelings. Even if he is happy, his face is also very visible, then all the children and his son-in-law already understand and cannot be lied to if he tries to hide something.

"When I still want you here..." My tears also broke while hugging her body from the side. I can't bear if my mother-in-law is just coming back with a tone alone. But he also could not leave his job.

" It's.. I hope you all can go home next year. The important thing is that the message of Ibuk gets along here. if the benefits apply is not good let it go. You're the one giving up? Giving up also does not mean losing Yas? Actually ibuk is also often in your position when you were married to his late father said. But my exam is not from in-laws or in-laws." Mother-in-law wanted to open a secret. I was curious but I stopped to ask. Because when he didn't continue his words I'm sure he just realized what he just said.

"Don't you open the buk? It's Ibuk's secret. If it's uncomfortable don't open it?" I held him, however he was my in-law and I had no right to know his secrets.

"Mother just wants to share the sadness of Ibuk, I want to be relieved. Even your husband, brother Bandi and sister Nana don't know about this. Can you share your grief?" Ask with teary eyes.

I just nodded, but I still couldn't believe that she had opened her secret with me, which was only a daughter-in-law.

"Sadness of mother always comes from her husband's own mother, even though her heart is good, even very good, not only for the family but for brothers and others she is very good and respected. But he was addicted to booze, gambling, and women's games. That's what always makes Ibuk can't stand it, but I keep defending."

Degh's...

My heart is beating fast not because, how can bad behavior like that mother still said her husband is very good. I remember the moment in the fishing pond near the mas said house. At that time my brother also told me the same thing as my mother-in-law now. But the difference if the benefits spread its disgrace to some people. If Mala's mother-in-law closed it shut without her own child knowing, and only now did she open it to me. I don't know why he believes in me so much.

Mmmm .... Mother took a deep breath and took it out slowly, adjusting her position to be comfortable.

" Your father was a very good man, even he tried to give his best, but when he was not aware he always said that this Mother was like a cheap woman, who just wanted to be married. Sometimes he even punched Ibuk in the face, sometimes slapping, sometimes bluffing. But when he realized, he was ordinary? He even tried sweet. He also gambles and plays women but he is always responsible for his material living" Ibuk still smiles, as he recounts. Even though I see only a bland smile.

"But my mother luka bathin, play woman! Didn't Momuk get angry" I asked not to accept, even though she's my mother-in-law, but my fellow woman I heard it hurt.

"Where can be angry, before he had asked permission and said that he did not love Ibuk. We were betrothed, but your late father already had a girlfriend, even his girlfriend was just married after your late father died. He played women with his girlfriend too, and always said sorry, according to Ibuk when your late father berated in a state of unconsciousness it was a sense of resentment that he could not say directly" now I am starting to look fragile.

"It's hard not to say about his behavior when angry" I still want to know the story of my mother-in-law.

"Early? First time, but he's sorry. And that will not happen, in fact, every time you complain so again" he said again with wet eyes.

I hugged her and cried in her arms, I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be able to hide all this.

"Don't think about my past? We're daughters-in-law and grandchildren love Ibuk. Even Ibuk has considered Ibuk like my own mother.  Please don't cry anymore about my past? That won't change anything. Enough of a lesson." My words gave him spirit.

"Mother wants grandchildren mother does not experience the same thing" Ibuk looks worried.

"Will never happen buk? Trust God" I said quickly.

That day I felt that having two real mothers, bloodless in-laws could think of me as his own daughter. His embrace felt very sincere, and full of longing.

Still living a sudden hug someone called out without saying a greeting.

"Eh uh uh what is this, kok nangis-nangisan" said kak benefitah who was already near my mother-in-law.

"Mother feels sad to leave you" mother-in-law lied to sister benefits. I just keep quiet, maybe mom is not comfortable if you have to tell stories with benefits. We rushed to arrange anything that would be taken home to the hometown.

Not a few will be taken home by Ibuk, because almost all of the people in the village where my in-laws live are family. So it is not possible if the get-by is only 1 or 2 people.
