Trapped by Neighbor Love

Chapter 20 The In-Law.

It looks like Alya was busy that morning, he was already at dawn to the market by holding the child Amira because if there is the Mother-in-law, he must cook to provide food the Mother-in-law likes. Amira looked cranky that morning like never before. Maybe because the mother was fussy so the child was fussy. Alya seemed to be devastated somehow if there was a figure of the Mother-in-law who always chattered and insinuated her movements whatever was wrong in the eyes of the in-law.

"You were at the market not polishing your face, wear lipstick when just a little not plain it looks pale. People will think. Her husband was not very good at taking care of his wife," the mother-in-law quipped when Alya had just returned from the market with a sweat pouring out.

Though he was still tired after coming from the market on foot, carrying the child, also brought groceries. Alya looks just silent as if lazy to fight the words of the mother-in-law. For him it is enough spicy speech in-laws, if the opponent is meaningless because finally he is the loser and Mother-in-law does not want to lose.

"What is this Mom?" asked Alex who suddenly came over because the mother's babbling voice was loud enough to be heard into the room.

"Your wife to the plain market doesn't wear makeup polish at all, it looks like a sick person" the mother said.

It looks like Alex just let out a long sigh, he was in the wrong position. If he defends the Mother, surely Alya will be offended, and vice versa if Alex defends the wife of course the Mother will be offended. Looks like Alex is very understanding of this if the mother nagged the make-up problem from the first. And somehow Alya since her husband hurt her as if reluctant to dance whether it was intentionally or not.

"I was in a hurry Mas, so did not have time to wear a lipstick polish at all," he said by passing into the kitchen.

Alya looks inside the kitchen her eyes are glazed she thinks in her heart. Why does the mother-in-law always insinuate her appearance, even if the woman wears makeup polish will invite men to look at her while she already has a husband, maybe in Alya's mind so.

In the past when everything had not happened dispute Alex had not known another woman or had an affair, Alya always wore make-up and it turns out that when the road together with the husband there was a man who glanced at him and Alex looked jealous and he suggested that the wife should not wear make-up, so according to Alya was wrong.

"Life is plagued with a sense of error that is not comfortable," said Alya while chopping vegetables that he will cook.

There was a sound of Amira crying and Alya was able to glance at him into the house because when it was home from the market the husband immediately carried Amira from the arms of the wife when the wife was lectured by the Mother.

"Alya, this is your son taking care of it in the same car as Mom and she doesn't want it" cried the mother-in-law.

"Bu Retno always yells when calling when it can be slow too," Alya grumbled to her mother-in-law named Retno.

Alya was seen holding the child while giving bottle milk and saw the husband preparing to go to the office. While Alya continued to rub the shoots of the child's head and blow it, he thought he was so that the child would quickly sleep and not fuss. After the child was silent no longer crying then Alya tried to sit her child in the box, but somehow the child did not want to be carried on by the mother.

A few minutes later the husband came out of the room and looked ready to go to the office and saw the mother was filled with worry because the child had not yet had breakfast.

"Son, you haven't had breakfast yet, you've caught a cold" said the mother, visibly overwhelmed by deep worry, when she saw Alex going to work and her stomach wasn't filled with any breakfast.

"That's okay, ma'am, just later at the office," he replied by passing out of the house.

"I should prepare breakfast for my husband. You catfish!" the mother-in-law grumbled with a glancing look towards Alya. And saw him tailing behind the boy.

After that when in the market Alya choose vegetables and side dishes may be a little long. Coincidentally when buying side dishes in line. So Alya's arrival to the house from the market was a bit bad luck, and it was time for the husband to go to the office.

Coming home at the Mother-in-law's lecture and it takes time as well. Alya did not have time to cook breakfast for her husband.

"Mas Alex," said Diana, as usual, calling Alex on the home page.

Bu Retno's gaze was very sharp when he saw the figure of Diana who looks beautiful with makeup polish that looks neat and graceful. Ms. Retno was smiling when she saw Diana, and Diana returned a smile from Ms. Retno.

"Son, who is that?" tanya Bu Retno attached to the ears of the child.

"That's Diana, Viennese's daughter, our next-door neighbor," Alex replied with a smiling look at Diana who appeared to be walking towards him.

"Well, it's big, it's beautiful again," said Ms Retno as if fascinated by the figure of Diana the child of her neighbor.

"For Ma'am, how's it going to be healthy" Diana said, kissing the back of her mother's hand Alex.

"You've grown up Na" the mother stared fixedly at Diana who looked sweet and fresh.

"Yes Ma'am, hehe," Diana chuckled.

"You're in the office with Alex?" asked the mother as if she was curious.

Alex also explained to the mother that the mother did not misunderstand and suspected that Diana was actually working in the office owned by her friend, and coincidentally the office owned by her friend was close to her office. Alex also said that instead of Diana using public transportation must come out the cost again, baby, better the money for other needs. Alex also thought surely the Mother knew with the condition of the Diana family is less located which in fact the Father only needs a factory whose salary is mediocre.

"Ouh, yes, good then. The money in the tube for marriage, hehehe," seduced Bu Retno by stroking Diana's cheeks that look smooth white and clean.

"There are no candidates!" Diana laughed loudly.

"The beautiful period of gini is not yet a candidate," said Bu Retno with a laugh out loud.

Diana da Alex passed by to the mother with a big laugh.
