The Tongue of In-Law

Like there's tai in Liana's face

Then Karin who felt disappointed to go home.

“Come, in regards to aunt and her om,” Karin told her son.

Steven then greeted Afgan and Shireen who were sitting in the living room. When he touched Afghan's hand, Steven said.

“Om, Steven can play here again sometime right?”

“Bby Darling..” says Afgan and Shireen together.

Then Shireen who was feeling anxious with Steven immediately stroked Steven's head and said.

“You are happy to play here?” ask Shireen.

“Iya Aunt. Steven played with Aunt Fika,” Steven explained.

“Oh yes, Steven can play here again sometime,” Shireen said with a smile.

Everyone was happy to see Steven's agility both Afghan and Shireen.

As soon as Karin came home, Ms. Nana was immediately angry with Afgan in front of Shireen.

“Afgan, I told you. Friends Karin chat.”

“But already Afgan friend Bu.”

“But not with Shireen,” says bu Nana.

Afgan was immediately surprised to hear his mother's words.

“What mother mean?”

“I mean mother, you yourself who accompanied Karin chat.”

“Mom talks like that. Isn't Afgan married, so it's not worth donk if you have to chat together.”

“Yes no problem as long as you do nothing.”

Shireen who heard her mother's words only fell silent even though she did not agree with her mother-in-law's wishes.

Afgan who felt upset then left his mother who was still standing looking at him. Bu Nana instantly vented her anger at her daughter-in-law.

“Shireen, you again..” snapped bu Nana.

Shireen looked directly at her mother-in-law's face.

“What's Bu?” ask Shireen.

“You should have allowed your husband to have a chat with Karin. Say you follow chat.”

“Mother.... I don't want to scold Shireen for coming to see Karin. What exactly does Mom mean?” ask Afika angry.

Seeing her mother-in-law fussing with her sister-in-law, Shireen went straight into her room.

“Mother expects Afgan to chat with Karin.”

“Mom should be able to think clearly. The Afgan is married so it is not appropriate to talk to each other without his wife. I plan to unite Afgan with Karin right?” ask Afika again.

Ms. Nana was silent because she was confused about what to answer.

“Mother pity Karin. She had a child but her husband is dead.”

“So what do you mean by Mom?”

Ms. Nana was silent again while lowering her head looking for the right answer.

“Justify I want to match Karin with Afgan?” ask Afika again.

“Actually I just pity the status of Karin who is widowed.”

“So mean Mom?”

Because he heard a noise in the middle room, Afgan who was in the room then came out again.

“I mean mother, if Afgan is close to Karin and her son Steven, surely Steven will consider Afgan his father. Steven's mental development will not be disrupted as it is educated by perfect parents.”

Ms. Nana was silent again not answering Afghan questions.

“If it is indeed Mother's plan, rest assured Mom Mother's plan will not work.”

“Although you didn't marry Karin, at least you could be close to Steven. That's my hope,” obviously bu Nana.

“Why Mother should be dizzy thinking about it while Mother is not who they should be responsible for the development of Steven,” said Afika who was upset.

“Because only Afgan can help them. I also know that Karin until this moment still loves Afgan.”

“Mother don't talk about love because Afgan's love for Karin is gone altogether and there is nothing left.”

“Afgan, you can't talk like that.”

“What's the matter, Mom? Since Afgan know Karin betrayed Afgan, love Afgan immediately lost Bu and will not be possible to return again. So I don't expect much.”

“Didn't you love Karin so much, Afghan? Even you were frustrated when you heard Karin got married.”

Shireen, who was in her room, overheard her mother-in-law's conversation, though it didn't sound clear. Upon hearing her mother-in-law's words, Shireen's feelings hurt because she was jealous even though it was her husband's past.

“But that was Mom. Now Afgan has Shireen. So throw away my intention to unite Afgan with Karin again.”

Although Afgan has told the truth that he does not love Karim anymore, but Bu Nana still wants to reunite Afgan with Karin even though Karin will be the second wife of Afgan. That's Miss Nana's plan.

On this sunny morning Shireen cleaned the flower garden in front of her house. Shireen who likes flower plants always take care of those plants.

Since Shireen lived in her in-laws' house, she, the flowers in front of his house are more and more because some are planted and some flowers that have long been treated again so that many are blooming well roses, bougenvile flowers and orchids.

Ever since the flower plant was cared for by Shireen, Bu Nana's house seemed to glow with everywhere flowers bloomed. Afgan who has since noticed his wife cleaning the front garden can only shake their heads. He did not expect it turned out his wife hobby of planting flowers.

Then Afgan walked up to his wife who was cleaning the grass in the pot.

“Honey, rest first arent you tired loh. Look at the rhyme you took care of the flower. Now rest first yes..” Afgan was worried about his wife's condition.

“Beforetime Mas, responsibility nih..”

Suddenly Afgan was called by his mother.

“Afgan... Afgan... come here first,” call bu Nana.

“What's Bu?” asked when he looked at his mother.

“Sunday just called mom, said Steven accident.” said bu Nana panic.

“What?” answer Afghan and Shireen simultaneously.

Both of them immediately ran up to Nana's mother who was still standing on the front porch.

Although Afgan and Shireen do not like Karin, but they like Steven because Steven is a smart and agile child.

After Karin and Steven came to Nana's house, the next day Steven asked to be escorted back to Bu Nana's house. So Steven has often played to the house of Bu Nana delivered by his assistant.

Steven's arrival at Bu Nana's house was welcomed by both Afgan and Shireen.

Everyone was so happy with Steven because of his cuteness and cleverness that when he heard that Steven had an accident, everyone was immediately surprised and empathized with Steven.

“So how are things Steven, Bu?” ask Afgan and Shireen together.

“Mother also doesn't know because Karin just called and cried.

Said Steven wanted to be taken to the hospital this morning,” explained Miss Nana.

“Ya already, later after finishing we go directly to the hospital aja,” said Shireen.

Afika who heard Bu Nana, Afgan and Shireen talking about something went straight out.

“What's Bu?” ask Afika to know.

“Steven accident and will be taken to hospital.”

“Afika follow ya Bu if you go to the hospital,” pinta Afika.
