Widowed On The First Night

14 - The Coming of In-Law

That afternoon, Farah was sitting staring at her laptop screen. Sisil and Windi approached Farah.

"Farah, you know if it turns out that Pak Beni's son graduated from S2 abroad, said his handsome face, you sure you don't want to be his secretary??" Ask Windi.

"You like it far from me?." Ask Farah.

Windi and Sisil looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

"Udh dech, I don't want to talk about this anymore."Farah.

Until the night of Day Farah returned home, feeling tired she stretched her legs entered the fence of the house, but her house steps stopped when she saw the Rangga Car parked in the yard.

For a moment making Farah's footsteps stop, he felt hesitant to step back inside. But he made a breath to relieve the tightness in his chest and decided to step into the house.

Sure enough, it looks like Rangga and Bu Sumi are sitting chatting with both her parents and her brother.

"Farah, have you come home son?, this is your mother-in-law coming to visit you."Said Ms. Ayu.

Farah widens her smile greeting her in-laws, approaches and kisses the back of her in-laws hand.

"Mom, how are you."Ask Farah.

"Good boy, you look more cheerful."Said Sumi. Farah smiled and nodded.

All the chatter seemed mediocre, and there was still laughter heard on the sidelines of their chatter, until the words of Bu Sumi instantly made all speechless and became awkward.

"If Farah's situation like this continues and gets better, it would be better if Farah married Rangga and started their new life together."Said Sumi.

That speech certainly made Farah uncomfortable, the desire of Bu Sumi who is still not lost wants Farah as her daughter-in-law continues and married to Rangga makes her hope that Farah will someday be married to Rangga.

"Don't you Broto sir?." Said Sumi again.

Mr. Broto smiled and nodded.."Yes, I'm up to Farah, ma'am, if Farah wants to yes I'll just approve."Said Mr. Broto.

"What do you think Farah?." Ask Bu Sumi again now looking at her favorite daughter-in-law. Farah swallowed her Saliva.

"Mom, no, no need to talk about it like this."Rangga.

Suddenly Farah stood up. "Sorry Mom, I can't." Said Farah then standing up from her seat and out of the house.

Sumi also looked at her daughter-in-law passing away. Rangga immediately followed Farah.

"Excuse Farah Bu Sumi's attitude, he must not be ready, because indeed he still thinks of Bayu."Said Bu Ayu who was not good with Bu Sumi. Sumi nodded, there was a feeling of disappointment and sadness because Farah did not want to and continued to say she did not want to marry Rangga.

Farah then went to the porch of the house and cried, she knew her attitude was impolite at this time, she said, but he felt annoyed because as if Bu Sumi continued to force her to marry a man she did not love, what else the man was the younger sister of her husband's alm.
