The Dilemma of Husband and In-Law
Chapter 25. Answers

Bima is home

" Mommy, this is the medicine you're drinking. Did you eat already ?" ask Bima his son.

"Last noon the mother had eaten with Lastri and her children" said her mother who was a little weak.

" All right, ma'am, take the medicine and rest" said his son again.

Then Bima went from her mother's room, she looked for Diah where - where. He saw Diah in his room, Bima entered and continued to invite his son to play outside precisely in the living room and while watching television there.

" Aira, I'm going to the room for a second, right? someone wants you to ask your mom first" said Bima.

" Yes dad, Aira's just here to watch tv." His son did not care because he was watching.

Bima also left his son and went inside to see his wife.

Bima sat on the bed and looked at his wife with an annoyed look.

Diah who was busy folding clothes that were already dry did not care about Bima in front of him.

" A ma ?!"

" Dad asked, why are you at a friend's house from noon to afternoon not coming home ?! You're home alone ?" ask Bima ketus.

" Huh.." sighed.

" Don't you say mom was home alone? And why don't I go home? okay let me explain and clarify everything you ask me." Diah said in annoyance as well.

" I'm home by noon, and at home there's your sister Lastri. You said you were home alone?" one question has been answered.

" If you're alone at home why is home when you come home like there was an earthquake? and dirty dishes piled up in the sink? kenap?! why ?!" ask Diah again.

" Is your mother at home playing war - war? is mom at home throwing - throwing or playing running?!" Diah started to get emotional.

" Please think before I continue my second answer !" reply to the upset Diah.

Bima was silent and thought about her mother's words earlier," had lunch with Lastri and her son. Did mom lie to me when she was home alone?" Bima began to understand Diah's words.

" Why are you at Mona's house from noon and not at home?" Bima asked again after silent thinking.

" Mommy was home this afternoon, I saw Aira had changed her school clothes and we did not bring her bag. When you want to have lunch at home all the food that you cooked this morning has been eaten by your brother Lastri." Diah told Bima everything.

Diah also said that they came out for what and did it at Mona's house. Now Bima understands and feels guilty to be angry and accuse his wife who is not - is not.

" Then I'm sorry dear" said Bima holding Diah's hand.

Diah brushed off Bima's hand because she was upset Bima had scolded her and bad words to her.

" So, please do everything that people say to you do not swallow it all, try to digest it and ask me what the truth is just that we have a household name." said Diah tried to give her husband a look.

" Mom says alone at home no one can be told to buy medicine. There was a brother, there was a son why not ask for help with them? And why say you're alone with dad?" diah said that was still emotional.

" Dude, I honestly can't stand living here, I really can go crazy You put me living here mas !"

" It's all full of two-faced when in front of you, you know who's gonna be the mash and the scapegoat? I'm mas, I'm !" Diah nagged while putting clothes in the closet.

Then Bima hugged his wife who had vented his emotions to him.

" Huhu.., hiks, hiks, no one loves and understands my feelings. Please mas, I can no longer afford.., hiks, hiks..." Diah was crying - so.

" Yes, I'm sorry, baby" said Bima stroking his wife's hair.

Bima understands the condition of his wife who is already stressed with all this.

Diah who is still upset and emotion is still crying and biting Bima's shoulder which is actually upset with her husband

" Oh...!" shouted Bima.

But Bima can only hold it, Bima can receive a bite from Diah's teeth on her shoulder.

" That bite is not worth the taste he's been receiving all this time in my house. Although he bit but still used the feeling and not as strong as the force of biting him." in his heart said.

A few minutes later

Diah had improved a little, and her cries gradually stopped.

Then Diah ventured to ask her husband Bima about the phone call.

Diah took off her husband's embrace and went to the bed sitting on his edge.

While still holding Bima's hand, Diah asked about the thing that had been plaguing her mind and heart.

" She, I want to ask" he said.

" It's hard for me to ask, but inevitably I have to ask him" he said in his heart.

" What do you want to ask ?" ask Bima who is sitting near Diah.

" Who did you call that night? And what has happened have you hidden from me?" Diah was a little afraid to ask.

" Ma, I'm actually not working today, and I want to get out of there. All of my friends said they would get out of there if our rights were not given by our superiors" he said.

" We all agreed to go on strike and to take his responsibilities as superior to us. So the father and friends of the father were talking and came to the superior's house to ask for an explanation" said Bima again who was dizzy.

" So how's yah? is there a way out or a solution?" she asked, looking at her husband's face.

" Huh, there's no ma yet. And father was no longer holding money at this time." said Bima who looked at his wife while holding his wife's hand.

" Yes, we'll be patient first. There's gonna be a way out." She gave support to her husband.

Diah can understand that, indeed last year they did not all employees do not get a holiday allowance. Though all employees are expected and awaited them once a year. But his superiors did not give them that right.

All employees are very disappointed in the actions of the superiors where they work.

This is somehow the story later and the solution, all are trying to ask for their rights, and some are out there looking for another job.

Bima who just entered work there is very confused because the condition is not holding money anymore now. Somehow things are going forward, and must be ready for it.
