The Tongue of In-Law

Heavy rain that disturbs

Shireen who was still upset with her husband just pouted. He did not expect that there would be such a shameful event because when Afgan was angry in front of the man, it was seen that many people who were watching him made Shireen feel embarrassed.

“You why Honey, since earlier your face like a grapefruit.” Afgan trying to make the atmosphere cheerful again.

Since returning home from the lake, Shireen who felt annoyed at her husband just kept quiet.

“I'm upset with Mas. Emotion without thinking long. I should have asked you why the man hugged Shireen. This, not directly emotion aja.”.

With a smile Afgan also approached his wife.

“I'm sorry, honey, next time I won't make a mistake like this again. You don't get angry anymore ya.” Shireen smiled at her husband.

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon Afgan and Shireen plan to return home.

“Udah ready to be cleaned everything Dear?” asked Afgan when he saw Shireen was sitting sweet watching TV.

“Udah Mas, everything has been Shireen put in the cover,” replied Shireen.

“If you're done with everything, let's go home now.”

Then they both came out of the room to the lobby.

“You sit there first yes, let the mas return this key,” said Afgan told his wife to sit down.

Shireen immediately sat on the sofa in the lobby, while Afgan walked to the receptionist.

After the key was returned to the receptionist, Afgan turned his body about to walk. But he was suddenly shocked when he saw someone who was quite familiar to him was standing in front of him. Both of them were surprised to meet unintentionally.

Afgan looked the eighth and so did the woman. For five years they had never met. Even Afghanistan's last meeting with the woman has inflicted a deep wound, leading Afgan to promise never to see her again.

But this afternoon, it turns out that God brought the two together. Smiling, the woman greeted Afgan.

“Afgan, how are you?” asked the woman with a friendly smile.

Wounds in the heart of Afgan who has not healed make Afgan can not be sweet to him.

“Good, as you can see,” Afgan replied and immediately stepped foot to leave the woman.

But just one step walking, his hands were pulled by the woman named Karin. Karin is an Afghan ex-lover but five years ago the two broke up.

It's been almost 8 years they've been dating and Afgan who loves Karin so much never glances at other women. He is very loyal to Karin because he hopes that one day Karin will be his life companion. But such a deep love turned into hate when knowing Karin had betrayed him.

Flashbacks.

At that time the rain fell so heavy that all that was heard was the roar of rain and the sound of lightning striking each other. Afgan who was wet to death because of rain water directly down from his motorcycle. He went straight into the terrace of Karin's house.

When going home from work, Sofia who is a coworker of Afghanistan gives souvenirs from Jogja to Karin. It just so happens that there is a familial relationship.

“Afgan, I can ask for help with you.” asked Sofia.

“I didn't get to Karin's house. So please go home later, you stop by her house huh. Please give this gift to her,” pinta Sofia.

“Ya already, arentar I deliver when I go home from work later,” said Afgan.

“Previous thanks Afgan..”.

Returning from the office Afgan plans to stop by Karin's house. But when it reached the intersection to the house of Karin, suddenly the rain fell very hard to make the Afgan wet because it did not have time to shelter. The goal was to deliver souvenirs from Sofia so that she did not make a promise to Karin first.

When Afgan was already standing on the terrace, he immediately knocked on the door of the house.

“Tok, tok.... Assalamualaikum..”

Because there is no legitimacy finally Afgan repeated it again. But on the second call there is no lawfulness also makes Afgan feel surprised.

Perhaps because the rain was so heavy that knocking on the door and Afghan voices were not heard all the way inside. Finally Afgan tried to open the door handle and it turned out that the door was not locked. Afgan went inside and called Karin.

Indeed, currently both parents Karin is in Palembang because Karin's sister gave birth to her first child so that Afgan know that Karin at home alone.

Because Afgan believes that Karin is in his own house, finally Afgan immediately went inside. Arriving in the living room, when Afgan called the name Karin there was also no sautan make Afgan more curious.

Finally Afgan went inside without calling Karin again. He went straight to the living room and then to the kitchen but did not find Karin either. Then Afgan returned to the living room and wanted to knock on the door of Karim's room where he knew Karim was inside.

But when it arrived at the door of the room, it was seen that the door was not tightly closed making Afgan curious to open it. When the door opened Afgan's chest felt tight and his heart was almost dislodged seeing the perverted scene that Karin did with a man. Afgan's heart was so broken and disappointed at the time that he hurried out of the house. When Afgan saw clearly the incident, Karin and the man did not know it because both were busy enjoying the very sinful activity.

Afgan down the road that looks quiet because of the rain is very heavy. His motorcycle continued through the rain. Even the roar of lightning sparkling in the sky was not heard because his mind was in turmoil.

With sadness and sadness, he returned home. Ms. Nana who saw Afgan wet with numbness when she got home felt astonished and immediately asked her son.

“Afgan, why did not take shelter first. Later you can get sick,” said his mother when she saw Afgan enter the house.

Afgan ignored the words of his mother. He just went straight into his room. Ms. Nana immediately made hot sweet tea and told Afgan to drink it.

“Tok, tok.... Afgan...” call bu Nana from outside.

Afgan who was sitting at his desk just silent when he heard the call of his mother from outside. He was lazy to answer his mother's call let alone to get out of the room.

At his desk he just fell silent while contemplating his fate that was betrayed by the person he loved so much all this time.

Afgan did not expect that this incident would befall him. He trusted Karin. Even the slightest bit he never felt suspicious of Karin's attitude all along.

For eight years they dated and not a short time to get to know each other's personalities. It turned out that all the memories stayed because it took eight years to maintain the relationship it had to break up because of the third person.

Relationships that have been built, destroyed just like that even left a deep wound for Afgan.
