The Tongue of In-Law
Mahendra is staying in the house of Rahmad



Afika who saw her mother preparing provisions for her sister immediately said.


“Ngapain Mommy bothers to bring food. On the road there are many food vendors.”


“But it is different from food from the house of Fika,” said bu Nana while closing Tupperware.


“Mother overindulges Afgan. They are small children who cannot find food on their own,” explained Afika who was upset by the great attention of her mother.


“You are calm, Fika, do not need to talk much,” said Nana who was upset.


“That's the Mother who always spoils Afgan so that Afgan is not independent. For snacks should be the mother who prepared it. Free donk he has a wife if mother all take care of his needs.”


Shireen's heart seemed to stop for a moment to hear the words of her sister-in-law who was so spicy. Afgan also heard the emotion and immediately turned to Shireen but saw the face of Shireen ordinary course finally Afgan undo his intention to be angry at his brother. Though Shireen was offended and sad to hear the words of his sister-in-law. But he was trying to stay strong in front of everyone.


‘I must be strong must not be weak so that Brother Fika does not underestimate me. Let him talk about what is important because Afgan still loves me,’ Inner Shireen.


After Ms. Nana finished preparing the toast inside the Tupperware, she handed it to Shireen.


“If so, we go first ma'am. Thank you ma'am for much trouble Mother.” Shireen slid the back of her mother-in-law's hand.


After that he approached his sister-in-law who was still pouting. There she was her sister-in-law despite Afika's pouting appearance. Shireen who had been weak all this time tried to stay strong in front of her brother-in-law. He ventured to dive his brother-in-law's hand and immediately left.


Likewise with Afgan who is upset with his brother. He tried to be ordinary so that when he said goodbye to his brother did not show his regret even though in his little heart he was very upset and angry at his brother.

Along the way, the newlyweds were very happy. Afgan always create intimacy when they both make Shireen feel comfortable and happy when near him.


Although Afgan drives his own car, he always took the time to hold his wife's hand, sometimes even stroking his wife's head. Along the way to Parapat Shireen hands can not be separated from the handle.


When it is close to Lake Toba, without a view of the Lake that is so beautiful with winding roads. Along the road overgrown with pine trees that stretch green adds to its beauty. Blowing foliage along the road makes the atmosphere cool.


Shireen picked up her phone in her bag and photographed the scene along the way for documentation.


After passing through the winding streets for almost twenty minutes, they arrived in the city of Prapat. Afgan went straight to the inn that had been bokingnya from last night so that once it arrived, directly to the inn.


Afgan deliberately rented an inn overlooking the lake so that they could be more satisfied to see the beauty of the lake.

As soon as he entered the hotel room, Shireen went straight out to the balcony.


“Mas, the view is beautiful times..” Shireen looked at the beauty of Lake Toba.


Afghans who plan to fall on the bed immediately come out. His wife was facing the lake. Then he hugged his wife's waist from behind.


“Beautiful time the place is yes,” said Afgan also who looked at the beauty of Lake Toba.


The kids were playing and bathing there.


“Mas, later we go there yes,” said Shireen spoiled while looking back.


An anxious Afgan saw Shireen kissing his wife's cheek. He then put his chin on his wife's shoulder. Then they looked at the large lake with blue water.


“Iya Darling..... We will definitely go there all around the lake.”


“The place is also good times yes Mas.”


“Iya Mas, Shireen happy times because in addition to cool, the place is also beautiful. Tomorrow morning we take a bath in the lake huh Mas?”


“Any you are good at swimming?” ask Afgan.


Shireen shook her head because she was not good at swimming.


“If it is not smart to swim, how to bathe in the lake,” said Afgan.


“Kan we can rent a tire. Mas smart swimming?” ask Shireen.


Afgan nodded his head.


“Ya already, tomorrow we finish breakfast swimming yes but do not let bad luck.”


“Iya Mas,” replied Shireen happy.

Selsai breakfast Shireen and Afgan immediately get ready to bathe into the lake. Though both of them had taken a shower because last night they had just had a husband and wife relationship.


After breakfast, the two packed up to go to a lake not far from their room. Seen in the lake already many people who bathe there both adults and children.


Afgan held Shireen's hand and went down the stairs to the lake. Arriving at the lake Afgan directly gave tires to his wife. Afgan directly taught Shireen to swim by using tires.


After about half an hour of soaking in the water, the body begins to feel cold. Afgan immediately went ashore and wanted to buy Pop Noodles for his wife. Shireen is still soaking in the water.


Almost ten minutes Afgan did not appear also made Shireen want to end his bath and he climbed the stairs on the edge of the lake. As his right foot stepped onto the stairs, he suddenly almost slipped. Thankfully there was a man nearby who quickly caught Shireen's body almost falling into the water again.


“You're okay, right?” asked the man while looking at Shireen's pale-looking face.


Shireen just shook her head.


“Thank you Mas..” Shireen said.


The man did not reply, he simply smiled and instantly released Shireen's body in his arms. At the same time, they saw the incident from a distance. He watched as the man was catching Shireen's body so the two hugged each other. Afgan immediately burned with jealous fire so he immediately ran to his wife. After being nearby Afgan immediately pulled Shireen's body. Afgan was about to punch the man in the face, but Shireen caught her husband's hand screaming.


“Mas, don't...!”


So that the people who were nearby looked towards them and immediately approached.


“He has done inappropriate with you,” said Afgan with anger.


“Sorry Mas, I have no such intention.” The man apologized to Afgan by raising both hands.


“True Mas, this Mas has helped Mas's wife who will fall,” said one mother who was near them and witnessed the real incident.


“Iya Mas, Shireen was about to slip and thankfully this mas helped.”


Afgan immediately looked at his wife's face and after being convinced that what his wife said was true, he immediately apologized to the man.


“If so, forgive me yes Mas,” said Afgan with shame.


The man just nodded his head while smiling. Not long after that, Afgan immediately took his wife to the hotel room.
