When Mother-in-Law Came Home
chapter 26

Ms. Ismiyati was standing at a gate of a large building that was none other than the office where Tiara worked. After trying to find the address of her daughter-in-law's office, the middle-aged woman ventured to the place to look for Tiara's whereabouts.

"Tiara really works here, right?" muttered Bu Ismiyati was a bit hesitant to enter the office building.

The middle-aged woman also flirted into the office area and saw some employees passing by at the place.

"Where should I start looking?" ms. Ismiyati said she began to be confused.

"Who's looking, Mom?" greet the security guard who served in the office area. Ms. Ismiyati also approached the security guard post while carrying a mobile phone where she kept a photo of Tiara.

"Excuse me, Sir. Can I ask you something?" ask Ms. Ismiyati.

"Please, Mom! What can I help you with?"

"Do you know any officer named Tiara?"

If only capitalized on the name, of course the factory has hundreds of women named Tiara. "Who works in what part, ma'am? here's what Tiara calls a lot."

Of course Ms. Ismiyati does not know the details about Tiara's position and work. But as additional info, the middle-aged woman could only thrust her phone to reveal Tiara's face. "This is the man, sir. You familiar? Don't my daughter-in-law work here?"

The security guard also took a careful photo of Tiara. "Oh, Miss Tiara? Right, Ma. This is one of the officers in this place."

Miss Ismiyati smiled with relief. Fortunately, he did not have the wrong address. "Oh, thank goodness then! I waited for days for my daughter-in-law to come home. Do you know when Tiara will return to service? I haven't been home in a week."

"Where are you going, ma'am?"

"I don't know either, sir. I only know about the outside of town. My daughter-in-law has not been home for a week either. That's why I'm looking here" said Ms. Ismiyati.

The security guard looked at Bu Ismiyati with a frown. "To know that I am Bu Tiara not going to work, Mom. Yesterday I still met Bu Tiara," said the security guard.

Of course Bu Ismiyati was very surprised after listening to the speech from the security guard. Clearly Dimas said that Tiara was away for service. It turned out that all Dimas' words were lies.

"Are you sure you met my daughter-in-law? This past week my son-in-law said he went to work. There's no way my son-in-law showed up at the factory during the service, right?"

"If the matter of information about the service I don't know, ma'am. But I can confirm that I actually met Bu Tiara a few days ago. So you could say that Bu Tiara did not go anywhere, let alone go to the service," said the security guard at length.

After getting information about the Tiara service, Ms. Ismiyati also returned to look for clues to find Tiara and bring her daughter-in-law home. Ms. Ismiyati could no longer bear to see her son's fall. For Dimas' sake, Miss Ismiyati would do anything to bring Tiara back.

Unable to get additional information, Ms. Ismiyati decided to go home and continue the search tomorrow. At least Bu Ismiyati already knew that Tiara did not go to work.

"Why did Dimas have to lie to me?" mummy Bu Ismiyati.

As soon as Ms. Ismiyati arrived home, the middle-aged woman was immediately greeted with an anxious face Dimas. It seems that the man was confused looking for Ms. Ismiyati everywhere.

"Where is my mom from? Why just got home?" tanya Dimas rushed to his mother who finally appeared after he looked for Bu Ismiyati to many places.

Dimas was really relieved when he met Ms. Ismiyati again. He thought he had lost Miss Ismiyati. Already lost his wife, of course Dimas did not want to lose his mother either.

"Don't go far, Mom! Later if you are confused continue not to know how to go home?"

"You just calm down. Mom's not a kid anymore. I didn't go far."

The next day, Ms. Ismiyati came back to the Tiara factory working. After being convinced that Tiara did not go to work, Ms. Ismiyati hoped that she could meet Tiara at the factory. Ms. Ismiyati no longer knew where to look for Tiara. Only Tiar's workplace is the only hope that Miss Ismiyati can rely on.

"Sir, today see Tiara come in, don't you?" asked Ms. Ismiyati at the security guard she had met before.

"Mom Tiara, huh? I'm sorry, Mom. I haven't seen it today" the security guard said.

"Important Tiara didn't go to work. That means Tiara's not going anywhere, is it?" mummified Bu Ismiyati.

The woman began to walk around and wonder at some of the employees she had met. After asking dozens of people, Ms. Ismiyati almost gave up, because none of them knew Tiara and knew about Tiara's whereabouts.

"Sir, you know what a Tiara is? This is the person" Ms Ismiyati said for the umpteenth time as she approached an employee who was passing by her.

"Oh Bu Tiara, huh? It just so happened that today did not come in, ma'am," said the official.

"Not entered? Wh why? Don't you know where Tiara lives?"

"That's why I don't know, Mom." The employee suddenly glanced at another employee who accidentally passed by. Looks like he's trying to find someone who can help Ms. Ismiyati.

"Mom see those kids over there, right? That's Bu Tiara's theme. Mother can name her the same," said the employee as he pointed towards the girl who was none other than Lesti.

Without a second thought, Ms. Ismiyati rushed over to Lesti and prevented the girl with many questions about Tiara. Initially, Lesti was a bit surprised because he was visited by Bu Ismiyati. But after hearing the story from Tiara's mother-in-law, Lesti finally decided to take Ms. Ismiyati to her boarding house, where Tiara lived.

"Where, Miss Lesti? Could you please meet me with Tiara? Lesti said to Tiara, right? I really need to meet Tiara," persuaded Bu Ismiyati with a clear face to make Lesti was devastated because he felt pity.

"Then, Mom can come with me. I can take Mom to where Mbak Tiara lives," said Lesti then bring Miss Ismiyati home to her boarding house.

"Really, Mommy? You know where Tiara lives?"

"Rubber, Ma. Let me take you!"

Arriving at the kosan, it turns out that Tiara was not there. In the past few days, Tiara has been busy touring the city of Tangerang to entertain herself. Tiara did not go to work, and took the time to please themselves and relieve stress.

"Right Tiara live here?" tanya Bu Ismiyati tried to make sure to go back.

"Yes, Mom. But Ma'am Tiara hasn't come home yet. How, Mom? Are you back tomorrow?"

"It's okay. I'll wait here. I'll wait until Tiara gets home!" resolute Bu Ismiyati later.
