The Mistaken Son-in-law
CHAPTER 11

Pov (Aisha)

After the dawn prayer I rushed to clean the whole house then I bought a side dish in the front warteg of the complex ushered by Mas Arya. I bought grilled chicken, fried sambel ati, fried shrimp flour and vegetable asem.

Pak Haji's pick-up car is parked in front of the house, Mas Arya assisted by Pak Haji's employees to carry a closet and two boxes yesterday, he said, the rest of one tote bag and backpack belonging to Mas Arya, we will carry it using a motorbike. Before the closet was transported, all my savings had been moved in my husband's backpack.

After Mas Arya came back from dropping off the closet, I invited her to eat.

"Then help haul a closet for not paying?". I asked while taking a side dish for my husband.

"You love me, but they refuse to be angry with Mr. Haji if he receives a wage from us". The answer.

"Actually the work of Pak Haji what the hell Mas, how many employees?". Askaqua.

"Pak Haji is a poor and land manager, Empang he is very wide, the land is also everywhere". Obviously husband.

     'Sultan palle in-law Fitri, he deserves a loss of love free rent his house'. I murmured in my heart while smiling.

"Why are you smiling - smile yourself?". Tanya Mas wonder.

"I'm just happy to be met with good people". Ngeles.

"It's good to eat well not hogjak - ngajak". Suddenly Rani appeared and immediately plucked fried shrimp from her brother's plate".

"You Ran instead of bathing used to eat, even directly eat, at least wash your face and brush your teeth. Girls are so dirty". My husband is angry with his brother's behavior, as well as mine.

"What a mas, really bawel. Bentang - mentang today has moved, already dare my negur, like - like me dong want to do". Said Rani while rolling her eyeballs.

"Ran, if you are advised the same older do not fight, what else Mas Arya is your brother". My word.

"Silent you, no one talks to you. You're just another guy here. So sok de nasehatin me". Said Rani while pointing towards me.

BRAKK!!!..."RANI IS POLITE WITH YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW". Snarl Mas Arya while pounding the table. This is the first time I've seen my husband angry as long as I've been his wife. Rani's guts so shriveled because of my husband's reaction, he seemed to want to cry.

"What is this storm?" Ask my mother-in-law out of her room.

"This is Ma'am they both eat well but do not hesitate, and Mas Arya has dared to yell at me to defend the woman". Rani complained to mom".

     'Based on the drama queen, she's the wrong one but she's as smart as she's the one who's hurt'. I said in my heart then to the kitchen washing the dishes of my former meal and Mas Arya.

"Indeed you guys don't know him, it's been good all this time hitchhiking in my house. Newly can buy food like gini and rent a house already belagu, at least then keep tempe tofu and vegetable kale". Mum-in-law scorned me while laughing.

"Become ma'am, I'm poor with belagu again". Added Rani.

My husband's clenched hands held back the emotions and then pulled me into the room. I saw her crying then hugged me, I let her cry in my arms. After we were satisfied, we prepared to move. Mas Arya put on her backpack and tipped her bag her left hand and right hand holding me.

"Where to go, later if you guys get back to destitute don't expect you guys to come back here". Shouted my mother-in-law.

"Don't forget to close the door, you bitch". Added Rani.

We rushed to leave my mother-in-law's house using Mas Arya's motorbike. The house we occupied for about a year, a place where I was always insulted, dica*ci and treated like a maid may be my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

***

We also arrived at our rented house, in front of the house, it turns out that Mr. Haji had been sitting in the terrace drinking coffee.

"Assynoga". Say both of us. Mas Arya dcu*im hand Pak Haji and I cupped both hands while bowing my head.

"Wa'alaikum hail, sit down first. That's the kids already this cleanin manor cave home ". Answer Mr. Haji.

"Why be cleansed, let us both clean. We are so not good to have free rent, now help clean the house". Said husband.

"Udah no what, let both of you directly Istirihat. That bini cave already masakin for you there is a cave put inside do not forget to eat, ntar stay hot. The cave is also tenger from Fitri, so you want to open a business in the garage, huh? Ntar gua asked cave subscriptions to help make the field, maybe tomorrow it has been done. Both of you take care of it, consider it your own home. Don't worry. If anything - call the cave, or go straight home". Mr. Haji said.

"God thank you so much for everything, may Allah repay you more. Aamiin". My words and Mas Arya were moved.

"No need to thank your parents both used to do a lot for the cave family. We are now a family, consider the cave and mother as your parents. Yes, the cave is good, this is the key to his house. You two are at home here, assalamualaikum". Pamit Pak Haji left this house followed by his employees.

"Wa'alaikum hail". Answer us both.

After they came home, I closed the gate and entered the house with my husband.

The inside of the house is very comfortable and aesthetic with the feel of Lilac, the favorite color of Fitri. So lucky my best friend has good in-laws and loves her and a husband who loves her so much. I am happy for happiness because he used to live a hard life and was looked down upon. This is the fruit of his patience, the power of God.

Then we entered our bedroom, I was amazed to see the contents, there was a king-size spring bed, a dressing table, a wardrobe owned by Fitri and his side of the closet giving my late father-in-law. There is AC and fan as well, but we both will only use the fan because we are the same - not strong cold. Turns out this room has a bathroom so I don't have to go out if I want to go to the bathroom.

While busy exploring this room, arrived - arrived Mas Arya carrying me to the mattress.

"Pump ya yank mattress, like Mas will be hard to wake up, innnya want to sleep continuously. Bobo was first". Said my husband pura - pura sleeping.

In our room that used to live in my in-laws' house there was only a thin mattress and the wooden bed had started to be fragile. Sometimes I'm afraid that the bed will come crashing down. The bed was used from Rani's room, while our bed was taken by her because she whined she wanted to have a spring bed, we finally relented. It was a gift from my husband's office friend. And there are many more of our goods taken by them. Fortunately, I can buy jewelry.

"Mas don't sleep first, these are our clothes and things haven't been done yet". I said wake her up".

Finally finished too, our clothes have been entered all in our closet while the closet belongs to Fitri, I leave empty because your clothes are just a little. Don't forget I keep my money and valuables in my storage. It seems like tomorrow I have to make a new savings for my salary from my writing. I haven't applied for a contract because I don't have my own savings. I'll ask Mas Arya for permission to go to the bank, because I never go alone.

Goods - goods in cardboard also have me settle. Don't forget I kept a picture of my late parents in the nightstand drawer. Mas Arya had slept first the effects of fatigue, I had intended to write again but because I was also very tired and sleepy so tomorrow I will continue. I also followed Mas Arya sleeping next to him.

Seriate.
