The Tongue of In-Law

Hind Mothers are very envious

Five years later, but the wound has not healed properly. That's what makes Afgan do not want to see Karin again.

With a feeling of annoyance Afgan immediately stepped his feet. But just one step to step up his legs, his hands were immediately pulled by Karin.

“Afgan wait a minute,” said Karin trying to catch up with Afgan.

From a distance Shireen noticed the incident made her feel astonished. ‘Who exactly is the woman, it seems like they already know each other, Shireen's inner’ while paying attention to Afgan and the woman.

Afgan brushed off Karin's hand violently.

“Don't bother me again. I remind you, from now on, never bother me. Let's just say we never knew each other,” said Afgan in an angry tone and left Karin who was still standing.

Karin's eyes glazed over Afgan. Shireen was more confused to see Karin who seemed to be crying, while Afgan continued to walk closer to Shireen.

As soon as Shireen was near, she pretended not to know about this incident and turned her eyes to the phone in her hand.

“Let's love we go home now,” said Afgan while embracing his wife's shoulders.

Afgan and Shireen then walked out of the lobby. From far away Karin just saw it. He looked upset and sad to see Afgan embracing his wife. There was a feeling of jealousy in Karin's heart. It's just that he has no right to ban it because he has no relationship with Afgan.

Then Afgan drove his car down a crowded street. Throughout the journey Afgan was silent. A deep regret on his face.

While on the way, Shireen tried to ask her husband.

“Mas..” says Shireen disconnected.

“Hemm..” That's the only answer that came out of Afgan's mouth without looking at his wife.

‘Surely mas Afgan is still upset with the incident earlier. But I have to ask who exactly the woman was, Shireen's inner’ in heart.

Shireen finally asked.

“Who was that woman?”

Hearing Shireen's question, Afgan immediately turned to his wife and held her hand.

“She is nobody Dear, so you don't worry yes,” said Afgan.

“But Shireen just wanted to know Mas,” asked Shireen again.

“He has nothing to do with you, so there is no need for you to know about him. Mas has also assumed the woman never existed in this world,” explained Afgan.

Hearing the words of her husband who seemed to hate the woman, Shireen increasingly convinced that the woman was his former lover Afgan because Afgan did not want to be frank and tell about the woman. Finally Shireen undoes his intention to ask too far about the woman.

Arriving home, the two are warmly welcomed by Ms. Nana.

“You must be tired of Shireen. Now you rest in the room?” Ms. Nina immediately told her daughter-in-law to go into the room to see the arrival of Afgan and Shireen.

“Honey, you rest first yes. I want to chat first with mom.”

Then the tired Shireen went straight into his room while Afgan chatted with his mother in the living room while watching TV.

“Why do you look pouting Afghan. Did you just fight with your wife?” tanya Bu Nana was surprised to see the face of Afgan.

“Ngak Bu,” Afgan replied.

“But from the look on your face, I can read if there is something you are thinking about.”

Afgan was silent for a moment and then answered his mother's question.

“So Afgan had met with Karin, Bu.”

“Karin?” asked Nana surprised.

Afgan just nodded his head.

“Didn't she take her husband to England?” ask Nana ma'am.

Hearing his mother's words, Afgan frowned while thinking for a moment.

“What is Karin's husband British, Bu?” ask Afgan.

“Mother knows where?”

Ms. Nana immediately smiled listening to her son's question.

“Yes you know. It just so happens that Karin's neighbor bu Rida. Bu Rida is a friend of mother and mother knows a lot from Rida's mom,” said Ms. Nana.

Afgan have never wanted to know about Karin since they broke up. Afgan already thought Karin died because of the pain of his heart so deep.

Although Afgan does not know about Karin's current whereabouts, but his mother knows a lot about Karin.

Bu Nana was amazed to hear the words of Afgan who said that they had just met Karin in Parapat. As far as Nana is concerned, Karin lives in England with her husband. While both of Karin's parents have long moved to Jakarta.

‘What might Karin go back to Medan to meet her in-laws,” Inner bu Nana was curious.

The next day, Nana, who was curious, asked Rida. He called Rida's mom.

[“Hallo, assalamualaikum by Nana...”].

Ms. Nana greeted Ms. Rida to find information about Karin.

[“Waalaikumsalam bu Rida. How is Rida?”]

[“Alhamdulillah I'm healthy Ma'am. How's your own mother?”] ask Miss Rida.

[“Alhamdulillah I am also healthy Mom. Oh yes Mom, sorry yes I interrupted her time for a moment.”]

[“Nnothing bu Nana happened to be watching TV...”]

[“Begini Ma'am. I want it about Karin.”]

[“What happened to Karin Bu?”] ask Bu Rida to be curious.

[“Ya is okay Mom. I just want it. Afgan last night the same story I said he met with Karin last night in Parapat. I just want to see what Karin is now in Indonesia Bu?”]

[“True Bu. Last night he said he was on holiday with his son and his family-in-law.”]

[“Oh so...”]

[“Karin is now back in Indonesia and not back in the UK again Bu.”]

[“Go back to Indonesia?”] ask mom Nana doesn't believe it.

[“True Bu. Oh yes, Mum. Have I not heard from Mom?”]

[“News about what Bu?”]

[“His husband Karin is dead Ma'am, and now he's back home.”]

[“Oh yes. I didn't hear Bu.”]

[“Sorry to Nana. I thought, I've told you about this.”]

[“Nothing Ma'am. I just found out this too. So now he lives where Mom is. Hasn't her family moved to Jakarta?”]

[“Indeed yes, Mom. He just bought a house here and his son has also been in school here.”]

[“So what is Karin's business now Bu?”]

[“He opened a boutique business Mom. Even the shop now has three.

Her late husband had a lot of money, Mom, so it was easy. Once he arrived in Indonesia, he immediately opened one boutique and three months later opened two more boutiques.”]

[“Oh so...”]

[“That's Mom, the name's a lot of money. And I heard her husband's legacy is quite a lot Ma'am, so she can open a boutique up to three places.”]

[“Lumayan also yes Bu sustenance Karin, can husband rich man.”]

[“Iya bu Nana. But also dear Mom, a lot of money but her husband is no.”]

Bu Nana who heard about Karin immediately thought for a moment because she was making plans next.
