The Tongue of In-Law

The Tongue of In-Law
country life



When Shireen and Afgan were changing clothes suddenly the door of his room was knocked by Nana's mother.


“Afgan, Shireen... Let's have breakfast now, breakfast is ready,” call bu Nana from outside.


“Shortly Bu...” replied Shireen and Afgan simultaneously.


Both of them immediately rushed to wear his clothes because Nana was waiting for bu at the dining table.


Soon Shireen and Afgan appeared at the dinner table with beaming faces. Without her hair, Shireen was still wet, making Afika instantly smile cynically.


He could imagine that something had happened that was very memorable between Shireen and Afgan last night because last night was the first night for the newlyweds.


Long-time widowed Afika feels jealous to see the newlyweds. Moreover, both show affection in front of Africa.


When he was about to sit down, Afgan had pulled a chair for his wife and then invited Shireen to sit down. While Afika who sat in front of Afgan immediately smiled cynically and with a view of dislike.


When Shireen noticed her sister-in-law's dislike of the view immediately felt bad.


So she just kept quiet and immediately took the rice for her husband. After that, Shireen took the rice for herself.


Without Nana's mom very attentive to the two newlyweds it makes Shireen feel happy.


“This is Shireen, take the fried chicken,” said Ms. Nana while thrusting the fried chicken in the glass bowl.


“Iya Ma'am, thank you. Shireen uses fish,” Shireen replied.


“You should not be shy because from today you will stay here forever. This house is now your home too, so you do not be shy,” explained Ms. Nana.


“Iya Bu, thank you,” Shireen replied as she lowered her head.


“You ate a lot huh Darling. Don't be shy,” said Afgan while stroking the head of Shireen.


Bu Nana who saw Afgan was very attentive to his wife was jealous just that he tried to be kind and friendly to Shireen so that Afgan did not know that he actually hated Shireen.


Only in front of his son was he kind and affectionate towards Shireen.


If Afika always shows the same attitude, both in front and behind Afgan. It's very different from Nana's clever skit.


“Honey, plus side dishes.” Afgan thrusting a puffed fish sauce in front of Shireen.


“Still Mas, Shireen is full,” Shireen replied and moved the plate containing the puffed Fish to its original place.


The reason why Ms. Nana does not like Shireen is because Ms. Nana plans to match Afgan with Dinda who is Susi's son. Susi is a little friend of Nana who has now become a successful person.


Since the death of Susi's husband, Susi continued her husband's business and now the business has been very advanced. The company she managed with her husband was a child but now the company is big. That's what makes Nana ma'am ambitious to match Afgan with Dinda because Susi mom once told her mom Nana wanted to find a mate for her daughter. But the man must be a smart person to manage the company so that later Dinda's husband will continue the company considering Susi's mother is getting older and is no longer able to manage the company.


Hearing the story of the Holy Mother, Nana immediately plans to match Afgan with Dinda. But Nana's desire is rejected by Afgan on the grounds that she does not love Dinda. Bu Nana was upset with her son because this opportunity was not used properly. Finally, Nana ma'am relented and allowed Afgan to find her woman.


Then he met Shireen. Only the first time Afgan met with Shireen immediately wanted to propose to him making Nana's mother feel surprised.


“You just met that woman, Afghan. Why rush to apply directly?” ask Nana who was surprised.


“Indeed Yes Mom. But Afgan it feels like it fits Shireen,” explained Afgan.


“You better think about it. Do not later you regret because regret always comes later.” Ms. Nana gave advice to her son.


“But little Afgan heart says that Shireen is a good girl Bu.”


“That's your heart. The heart is not always right. You should not be blinded by small hearts because our little hearts can be wrong,” explained Ms. Nana.


“Entahlah Bu, but Afgan it feels like it has matched Shireen.”


“Dinda is also beautiful and classy. The looks are also glamorous but why would you prefer Shireen over Dinda?”


“That's Mom whose name is love. Love comes from the deepest heart,” said Afgan.


“If it's mom anyway know. But you must not be blinded by love, Afghan. What to expect from Shireen. Shireen is just an ordinary girl and her education is also not too high so her work is only as a shopkeeper. While Dinda, she is a businessman and now she is learning to continue her mother's business because her mother is old. If you are married to Dinda, you can work with Dinda, together you manage the business of her parents.”


“Bu, whose name is love can not be forced loh.”


“Why can't be forced. Many married people do not love each other but finally love too,” said Ms. Nana who was very upset with Afgan who was always stubborn.


“But Bu...”


“Yes, whatever you say. I can only imagine you to be happy with your choice,” said Ms. Nana.


Eventually, Nana relented and let Afgan make her choice. Because if forced to continue to follow the will of Ms. Nana, it is feared that Afgan will be even more angry. Moreover, Afgan is the backbone of the family that supports his mother and brother.


Since Afika divorced her husband, Afika returned home and Afgan was the one who bore the life of her widowed brother.


Although Ms. Nana is not against Afghan marriage to Shireen, but Ms. Nana has a sinister plan behind it all. Bu Nana still wants to betroth her son to Dinda her son Susi. So he had planned something that made Afgan will divorce Shireen. So that his intentions are not known to Afgan, Nana always be kind and affectionate to Shireen. Nana ma'am deliberately did that so that when Shireen complained about his behavior to Afgan, Afgan will not believe.
