When Mother-in-Law Came Home
chap 10's

Chapter 10

Ms. Ismiyati kept glancing towards the wall clock. Time has shown eleven o'clock at night. But her daughter-in-law never came home.

"Dimas, where'd your wife go, anyway? This time I haven't come home?" asked Bu Ismiyati to Dimas who had been at home since this afternoon.

"There's a lot of work in the office, ma'am. If it's finished, then go home" said Dimas.

"When later? Wait until morning? Tiara is a girl, Dimas. Plus Tiara is a married woman. Does a married woman deserve to come home tonight like this?" omel Bu Ismiyati's. "Tiara doesn't come home this late, does she?"

"Tiara had no other choice, Mom. Maybe his job is not finished. If Tiara's work is done, Tiara will return home, too" Dimas tried to ask the mother to ask his wife for understanding.

"Tiara from yesterday did not want to clean up. Don't wash clothes. Not cooking. Now she wants to go home at night? She never thought of you as her husband, did she?"

As soon as Bu Ismiyati finished her sentence, the door to Dimas' house finally opened. The daughter-in-law who had been awaited by the mother of Dimas was finally home.

"Come home, Mom! I have a rest now" Dimas told Ms. Ismiyati.

Seeing Tiara's return, instead of feeling relieved, but Bu Ismiyati actually provoked a commotion and still had the energy to nag her daughter-in-law.

"Near! Do you know what time it is? Why did you come home so late?" nagging Bu Ismiyati at Tiara who just came home from work.

His body is tired. But arriving home, Tiara still had to accept the scolding from her mother-in-law.

"Udah, Mom! It's the night! Let's just take a break, shall we?" talk Dimas to his mother.

"Mother is talking to Tiara! You shut up!" sentak Bu Ismiyati's.

The middle-aged woman's eyes began to look at Tiara. Tiara could only bow her head as her mother-in-law shouted at her.

After being set up and rumored for days, now at the height of his fatigue, Tiara still had to endure the hurtful words of her mother-in-law.

"Tiara, have you forgotten your duty? As a married woman, do you deserve to be out there in the middle of the night?" sulut Bu Ismiyati.

"You are a girl! Is it worth it that you're still wandering around outside without your husband? It's the night! Can't your job be postponed until tomorrow?" keep the middle-aged woman.

Tiara is getting dizzy. I think his head wants to break. The woman also prefers to be quiet rather than having a conversation with her mother-in-law.

"Do you not feel sorry for your husband? From waking up to sleeping again, you never think about your husband, do you?" nagging Bu Ismiyati without mercy.

"From waking up, Dimas is just you ready for the food you buy from the stall! Until you go to sleep again, your husband must find his own dinner without being treated to you! You're actually intent on being a wife, right? You're intent on serving your husband, aren't you? If you are not ready and unable to carry out your duties as a wife, why do you marry and become a wife?"

Tiara clenched her hands tightly. The woman continued to be loved by the mother-in-law who was too forced to force themselves on Tiara to obey the principles that he carried out.

Ms. Ismiyati continued to discuss about the wife should be like this, the wife should be so, and was busy blaming all the means used by Tiara to take care of her husband. Bu Ismiyati considers the culture that he has preserved so far is the best culture that must also be imitated by the Tiara.

"Why are you quiet? Do you realize what your mistake was? Do you realize why you're angry with me?" ask Ms. Ismiyati. "You may be a working woman, but you are still a wife. Help you play your role well and take care of your tasks properly!"

Tiara could not take it anymore. But the woman was also unable to shout in front of Ms. Ismiyati. Tiara still appreciates and respects Bu Ismiyati as a biological mother who has given birth and cared for her husband so far.

"Mom hope you can quickly wake up! I hope you'll take some advice from Mom!" concluded Bu Ismiyati ending her tirade at Tiara.

The middle-aged woman rushed into the room and left Tiara standing at the door. After getting a painful scolding from Bu Ismiyati, Tiara did not stay silent. The woman who had run out of patience rushed to see her husband. Although Tiara did not make a sound in front of Ms. Ismiyati, it does not mean that the woman will just be silent to see herself trampled with the rules of Ms. Ismiyati.

"You're okay, right?" tanya Dimas tried to comfort his wife.

"I want to talk seriously about you!" sahut Tiara with a keto.

"I know you're angry now. I know you're spraining the same Mom. But please don't take heart, huh? Mother nature is like this. Please understand!"

"Why should I keep giving? Why should I continue to understand Mom? I don't want to give anymore! My patience is over! Please don't force me to hold on to something I can't stand!" sahut Tiara firmly.

While Tiara was talking with explosive emotions, Dimas tried to be as gentle as possible to temper Tiara's anger. "Please calm down, okay? Please be more patient with your mother. I mean better to you, anyway" Dimas said trying to calm his wife in a soft voice.

"Sorry, Mom! Please bring your mother back to Sukoharjo!" pinta Tiara with a face pleading with her husband.

"Don't do it, Tiara! My mother had no one else in Sukoharjo. My mother lives there alone. How could I possibly be upset with my own mother?" timpal Dimas tried to ask for understanding from his wife.

"Please be more patient with Mom, will you?" keep the man.

"When do you want to, Mom? When should I be patient? I'm just a human being, Mom. I can't be happy with people. And I don't want to sacrifice my own happiness either!"

Dimas really made a dilemma. The man did not want to return his mother to Sukoharjo, even more so let Bu Ismiyati live alone in a small village.

"I'm going to try to persuade Mom again so that Mom doesn't be so hard on you. Please don't make me push my mom home!"

"So you'd rather see me suffer?"

Dimas grabbed Tiara's hand and clasped his wife's fingers tightly. The man knelt down to beg Tiara to be more patient and not ask her to expel Ms. Ismiyati.

"I beg you, please help me take care of Mom. I can't go back to Sukoharjo!" said Dimas.

Tiara brushed off Dimas' hand and pushed the man away. This time Tiara really did not want to give up or give up on Bu Ismiyati.

"I've reached my limit, Mom. Now it's your turn to fight for me! I have survived for you. I'm sticking to your mother's rules. I persevered and relented every time I was homed in with your mother. I still appreciate and respect Mom to this day because I remember that she was still your mother! Now it's your turn to assert your attitude!"

Dimas was worried. There's no way Dimas leaned on any of them. Both his mother and his wife were equally important to Dimas.

"Tiara, please don't do this!"

"Now choose one! Do you choose me .. or Mom?"
