"Is there anything else? You wonder, deh, since Aisyah and her son live here, there must always be a commotion in this house." Herman who also just came home along chimed in on his family chat. The middle-aged man's gaze was fixed on Aisyah.
Aisha who was conscious immediately lowered her head. To him, that look was like it was about to devour him.
"This, loh, sir. Mas Bayu only got his first salary, Erin continued to only ask for rations to buy clothes just now, time is not given. Mas Bayu is the same Erin, sir. Since getting married, Mas Bayu has not cared about his own family. All he cares about is his own wife and son." Erina immediately complained to Herman, of course according to the girl's version.
No doubt Herman direct emotion. The wrinkles on his neck were even more apparent, carrying a rage that burned his heart.
"That's right, Bayu?" Herman immediately attacked his eldest son.
"No, sir. Bayu did not want to buy Erina new clothes, but Bayu's salary now to be used to pay the debt of Aisyah's labor costs at that time."
"Have, just an excuse. Your sister's new clothes also cost nothing. Set aside a little for him. Don't be too enslaved to your wife. In the past, the first time you were born father can also still provide needs for parents and siblings. Why can't you now?" sergeant Herman.
Bayu. Of course, at that time Herman could still give more for his family, because Herman had worked long enough in the company where he worked first. Even the position of the man was also as the head of the section, with a decent salary. However, since the company went out of business, until now Herman only worked odd jobs. His income was just a bit too late.
"Sir, don't be angry with Bayu! He's not wrong." Ambar, who felt sorry for Bayu, commented.
"Yes, I know what is wrong is not Bayu, but our daughter-in-law." Herman pointed to Aisyah with his chin, "if only he wasn't too spoiled and kept demanding that our son meet all his needs, our son would never be like that, ma'am," she said.
It hurts! Sure oes. The cruel words of the in-laws made the warm urge in Aisyah's eyes spill without being prevented. Aisyah could not help crying. The accusation of his in-laws really made his heart look like it was sliced.
"Udah, dong, sir. This was also not Aisyah's fault. Erina alone is outrageous, she asked for new clothes when Bayu's financial condition is still mediocre."
"Kok, Mom, so you're gonna blame our son?" pekik Herman did not accept his youngest son being blamed.
Ambar sighed harshly, then turned to Bayu who was still silent. "Bay, take your wife and child to the room. You must be tired of just getting home from work" he said.
Bayu complied, then herded the body of Aisyah who carried Zahra to enter their room.
"What is that mom, anyway? Always belain our daughter-in-law. He's been walking around for a long time, Mom. He's just hitchhiking here, he should know himself!"
The rant could still be heard in Aisyah's ears who had just moved away a few steps. Her tears were sliding more and more without being prevented. The pain in his heart grew worse, let alone finding the husband who did not dispute Herman's words about him. It made Aisyah feel cornered. Her husband was unwilling to defend and was inclined to be silent. It is possible, right, in his heart the man justifies. That was Aisha's mind now.
...***************...
The next day, clear weather covers the universe in the morning. Warm rays as if giving spirit. Aisyah had already woken up before the ray crawled up on the eastern horizon. Yesterday's incident made it difficult to fall asleep.
After busy struggling in the kitchen, Aisyah wants to invite her daughter to take a leisurely walk, just to enjoy the warm sunshine in the morning. She had prepared breakfast for everyone, not forgetting to ask permission from her husband who was preparing to work. 'Just for a moment', that's the sentence Aisyah said for Bayu to let her go out for a walk.
A bright smile rose on Aisyah's lips as she exited the house. Welcoming the sunshine that greeted him this morning. However, that smile instantly disappeared as he heard the sound of someone reprimanding him from behind. Aisha was very familiar with that voice.
"Where are you going?"
Aisyah's head turned to hear the ketus question that was thrown from the mouth of her father-in-law.
"You take Zahra for a morning walk, sir," replied Aisyah politely.
Herman clucking. "Morning is overflowing. Not the need for her husband to work. Didn't your husband come in this morning? After all Zahra was too small to be invited outside the house, outside a lot of dust. What if my grandson is sick?" cecar Herman doesn't like it.
"Aish has taken care of all the needs of Mas Bayu, sir. Aish took Zahra for a walk. It won't do anything. Morning air is good for health. Aish has permission for Mas Bayu, before he leaves, Aish will return."
Herman shook his head. He did not like his son-in-law to argue, making Aisyah less comfortable and directly lowered her head. He went for a walk, and decided to go back inside.
However, before Aisyah's body passed through the door of the house. The arrival of Erina who just came home from exercising in the morning made her steps restrained. Aisyah turned around as her sister-in-law greeted the two of them.
"Morning, All." The face of the spring seemed sinless sparkling before Aisha.
Aisyah's forehead frowned as she scanned Erina's appearance from foot to head. It really disturbs his sense of sight and makes his heart rumble unacceptably. How not, his sister-in-law was presumptuously already wearing her shoes without permission, even with the watch she was wearing. It also belonged to Aisha.
"That's, right, the same shoes as Ma'am's watch. Why is it the same with you, Erina?" Aisyah immediately reprimanded her sister-in-law.
Erina stared at the part of her feet and hands that was where Aisyah's belongings were. Then looked up again looking at his sister-in-law's face.
"Yes, I borrowed it when Aish's mom cooked in the kitchen. How's it? It's more like me, right?" erina replied feeling that there was nothing wrong with her actions, who borrowed without asking permission from the owner.
"You should have said it the same way. Not just to play like that," protested Aisyah.
"Such a pinjem doang. Especially if asked." Erina sneers.
"Yes, here. Your brother-in-law just borrowed it. Don't be stingy if you still want to stay here. You, right, just hitchhiking. Think of it as a free living payment." The turn of Aisyah's father-in-law who chimed in.
Aisyah's heart was getting upset. Just a few minutes ago he was banned from sightseeing, now compounded by the brazen behavior of his sister-in-law. Aisyah also thought she wanted to leave the house immediately. He did not last too long a roof with his sister-in-law and father-in-law who always hurt his heart.
