The Tongue of In-Law

The Tongue of In-Law
Liana remembered Mahendra



That morning Liana will go to review the new products in a warehouse near the port of Tanjung Priuk with mas Seno. About Dion he was already in sixth grade and was independent when I was at my place of care with the mother teacher and her friends.


While riding in an oncoming car, Liana saw the figure of Abang Abang parking attendant near a nearby market. Liana remembers her ex-husband Mas Mahendra.


How is he doing now?


Healthy him?


So who is serving?


Have you married Mahendra?


Liana was busy with her own thoughts, in Liana's heart was well aware that mas Mahendra was the back of a good heart. Unfortunately he always heard the words of his mother and always obeyed what the mother said.


Not all men have a meek character like Mahendra, but unfortunately he can not have his own stance.


"Liana" call me Seno.


"Yes mas Seno "Sahut Liana.


Mas Seno directed Liana to later supply domestic goods from Thailand and explained the function of the product.


Now Liana has become the largest distributor in the city, working with Seno mas make it rise from the slump.


"Liana later we will have to go home quickly to attend the inauguration banquet of the new director of the bank where we planted shares" said Mas Seno.


"Around eight o'clock" replied Mas Seno.


Liana nodded signifying understanding, Liana tried to string the words together to establish this business relationship. Even Thai officials took part in the meeting.


Liana did not think that she could be a mother and father to her son Dion. Liana had no pain or grudge either on mas Mahendra or his parents, even Liana was also worried about the condition of Mahendra who had not met for the past six years.


On the other hand, Liana also wanted to know the news of her former mother-in-law, yes Hindun and Suparman. It was very desirable for Liana to go to the two old men to apologize to them.


The car arrived at the meeting location, Seno and Liana went to a room that was filled with staff both from the bank and the Thai company.


The percentages had been clearly understood by Liana, but Liana did not want to be rash in taking action. Liana asks for samples of some products and will be tested on her own plants.


Liana promised to notify the Thai company four months from now. Because as usual Liana will prove the efficacy and usefulness of the product with her father in the village.


At five o'clock in the afternoon Liana and Dion were already at Liana's residence, the time getting down from the car and the gate was opened by Liana. Liana saw the house in front of Liana's house began to clean, because the house had been empty since Liana moved to her house.


Maybe there will be new neighbors mas Seno, people if they think Liana and mas Seno are a couple. In fact it is not like that, mas Seno repeatedly expressed his love for Liana. But Liana was still not willing to go back to the household. Maybe because of trauma or not want to have in-laws who always look at him negatively towards him.


But now that things are different, Liana becomes a successful businesswoman. And his father, who in the village, bought acres of land and has now become a landlord. In total there were over a hundred acres, that was the land that Liana's parents owned now.


Sometimes with amused Liana also imagined, what if her former mother-in-law Hindun mother knew all that.


Liana smiled ashamedly at herself.
