The Tongue of In-Law

Liana meets Seno again

Faintly sounding like there was a commotion in the dining room, Afgan went straight to the dining room. There looks like Ms. Nana is cleaning the dining table alone. Afgan was surprised to see in the dining room there was only his mother. While he had just heard such a loud noise in the dining room.

“There's a Ma'am. Who were you talking to?” ask Afgan.

Seeing the arrival of her son, Bu Nana also put up the action.

“Not an Afghan commotion. I only talked to your sister but you know for yourself that your brother is. He cannot speak softly. His speech is always rude so mom is angry,” obviously bu Nana lied.

Afgan who was so dear to his mother immediately approached him and held his mother's shoulder from behind.

“Mother don't be tired huh. Let brother Fika do everything. Brother Fika is not working, so he can do it all.”

“Mother is not tired Afgan because it has been a routine work of mothers like this. Also helped by your sister.”

“But I'm tired of being so angry.”

“Mother instead of angry Afgan. I just advised your sister not to be jealous of Shireen.”

“What is Shireen, Mom?”

Seeing Bu Nana pull up a chair and sit down, Afgan also sat down.

“What is Shireen, Mom?” ask Afgan curious.

“Your brother is always jealous of your wife. If you do homework, your sister is always angry and says don't do it, let Shireen do it. Mom is tired. That's what your brother, Afgan,” always said Nana's mom lied again.

“It's true what Fika's sister said, Mom. I need to rest a lot because I am old. Let's get sick if the soy sauce. If you get sick everything will be hard.”

“But for this mother is already a regular Afghan. Since you were kids, I've been doing it myself. So until now all the housework of your mother and sister did. Because I don't want to bother Shireen because she's tired of coming home from the store. So until the house do not get tired anymore because he has to rest first so your brother is jealous,” obviously bu Nana trying to attract Afghan sympathy.

“So all the homework, Mom and sister Fika did, including cooking and cleaning the house?” ask Afgan like not believing.

“True Afgan because you see your wife is not used to work so seeing mom doing homework she does not help her. He just looked at it without wanting his maid,” said Nana again.

“But Mom, Afgan notice Shireen always trying to help like cleaning the dinner table and washing dishes.”

“True Afgan,” said Bu Nana while shrinking the volume of her voice.

“Then..”

“Your wife if in front of you is always looking for your attention. She pretended to help mom when if there was no you all homework she wouldn't hold on. All the mothers and Afika did it. But it's okay Afgan, because I don't want to make a fuss. Let the mother who relented do all the housework.”

Hearing his mother's explanation, Afgan began to be provoked emotions. He did not expect it turned out that his wife who had been considered good and diligent turned out only in front of him.

Afgan was surprised to hear his mother's explanation about his lazy wife. Initially Afgan did not believe the words of his mother, but because his mother who spoke Afgan to believe.

‘I did not expect it turned out that Shireen who looked good and diligent turned out only in front of me. Behind me it was the opposite. I have to do something,’ Inner Afghan in heart.

“Mas from anywhere, how long time?” shireen asked when he saw the arrival of Afgan.

“Tadi mas chatted briefly with mom in the kitchen,” Afgan replied and her eyes pretended to focus on the TV.

Shireen is not cool to watch TV while Afgan has been thinking about his mother's words.

Not long after, because Shireen was sleepy, she invited her husband into the room. Arriving in the room Shireen directly sitting in front of the mirror doing his routine before going to bed that is using Skin Care. While Afgan immediately sat on the edge of the bed and was about to ask the truth of his mother's story.

“Honey, someone wants to ask you. But you answered honestly yes..”

Hearing her husband's question Shireen felt astonished and immediately looked back.

“Mas want to ask what?” shireen asked curiously.

“Why don't you want to help mom with homework. Poor old mom has to do all the homework by herself.”

Hearing her husband's question Shireen was immediately shocked. She then walked over and approached her husband. After sitting next to her husband Shireen immediately asked.

“What do you mean? The face of Afgan deep.

The Afgan who saw Shireen's gaze immediately replied.

“Mas did not ask for your answer. Mas just want, from tomorrow you help mom do homework.”

“Tpi Mas...” says Shireen disconnected.

“Udah Honey, no need to defend yourself. What is important is that you follow the will. If you can't do it for busy work reasons, you better quit your job. You can help your mother at home. Mas still able to meet all your needs so you do not have to tire of working,” said Afgan.

Hearing her husband's words, Shireen immediately fell silent. His feelings are sick and sad. It turns out that his mother-in-law had complained that various things to her husband made Afgan trust his mother more than his own wife.

Even Afgan did not give Shireen the opportunity to deny all his words. Shireen who was lazy to argue with her husband finally just kept quiet.

‘Let me be slandered like this. But I'm sure God doesn't sleep and God will avenge all this, ’ Shireen's inner sadness.

Though if Afgan can think clearly, of course he will not believe the words of his mother. Every morning Shireen wakes up to clean the house. After the house on the broom and dipel, he immediately cooked for breakfast.

It's just that when Shireen was imagined and doing the activity, her husband had not woke up so that Afgan never knew that his wife was the one doing the homework.

Even if the morning while cleaning the house, Shireen also wash clothes in the washing machine. Two jobs at once. Briefly sweep, briefly look into the washing machine.

It turned out that the work she had been doing had no fruit because her mother-in-law complained to her husband that Shireen had never done homework.

‘I did not expect it turned out that Afgan mas can not think clearly. He listened more to his mother than he listened to my true words.

Maybe because Afgan mas love his mother too much so he immediately believes it just like that, Shireen's inner’ does not understand.
