When Mother-in-Law Came Home
chap 4's

Chapter 4

"Tiara, you can talk richly about it" muttered Bu Ismiyati disappointed in the daughter-in-law.

Though the heart of Bu Ismiyati is good. The middle-aged woman only wanted to discipline her daughter-in-law. Ms. Ismiyati only hopes that her daughter-in-law can take care of the house and husband well.

The mother of Dimas rushed away from the door and no longer wanted to eavesdrop on the quarrel between Dimas and Tiara. After an argument, Tiara came out of the room and left the house.

"Tiara, where are you going?" reprimand Bu Ismiyati on Tiara who has walked towards the exit.

"You buy a side dish for dinner" said Tiara briefly. Tiara no longer cared if her mother-in-law would be angry that she was not cooking. Tiara was tired and did not want to force herself to take care of homework.

As soon as Tiara left, Ms. Ismiyati immediately approached her son. Dimas looks gloomy after a fight with Tiara.

"Dimas, can we talk to you for a second?" pinta Bu Ismiyati on Dimas.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Dimas.

The two immediately looked for a comfortable seat and spoke four-eyed congratulations Tiara was not home. "You fought with your wife, huh?" ask Ms. Ismiyati straight to the point. While fighting, Dimas and Tiara tried as hard as they could to not make a loud noise. But unfortunately the quarrel between them was still caught by Ms. Ismiyati.

"We're just arguing a little, Mom. No need to worry," said Dimas.

"Little debate? You don't have to lie to Mom anymore! I heard everything!" timpal Bu Ismiyati's. "Mom didn't think the same Tiara. Mom was really disappointed. I just want Tiara to be a disciplined wife. But Tiara thinks I'm torturing her."

"It's not so, Mom!"

"You don't need to buy your wife anymore! Your wife is stubborn and can't be told!" omel Bu Ismiyati's.

"Haman's wives are now lazy! Not rich wives of the past Mother," continued Bu Ismiyati began to compare himself with the son-in-law.

"It's different now, ma'am. Please don't say it!"

"You, in any age, the duty of the wife will never change until any time!" ms. Ismiyati. "During the village and taking care of your father, I never complained. It is indeed the duty of the mother as a wife that must be able to cook and take care of the house. Mom always wakes up in the morning. You always cook food for your father. My mother never bought it. You can also take good care of the house. The house is always clean and tidy in the hands of the mother. Dirty clothes and dishes also never accumulate rich here. I also often help your father in the field. I never complained a bit."

Dimas just kept quiet and listened to the words of the mother until it was over. "What if your wife is working? Want to be an excuse to be lazy like that? Mother used to work in the field to help your father! But the house can still be maintained. Your father can also take care of. It all depends on your wife being disciplined or not!" connect Miss Ismiyati.

The middle-aged woman remained determined to impose her habit on the son-in-law. "You should educate your wife even better! Your wife is starting to become a dissident! Your wife is starting to get lazy! You want a lifetime of living with a wife who can't take care of Tiara's rich husband?"

"Don't say that, Mom! I'm sure Tiara is trying too. Later Dimas try to persuade Tiara again. Sorry in advance ma'am if there are words Tiara that offended me," Dimas later said. The man could not argue with his mother. Dimas will obey and try to persuade Tiara again to be more obedient.

The next day, Tiara was still the same as before. It's even getting worse. Tiara went back to buying food outside and washing clothes at the laundry.

Tiara would no longer obey her mother-in-law. When the woman was tired, Tiara preferred to rest.

Ms. Ismiyati has become even more silent over the past few days. The middle-aged woman did not give much comment on anything Tiara did.

"Mom, where are you going?" rebuke Dimas to the mother who wanted to get out of the house in the morning blind.

Ms. Ismiyati is done cleaning the house. Now it was the middle-aged woman's turn to cook breakfast for the son before Dimas left for work.

"You go to the shop" said Bu Ismiyati.

"Well to buy what? Let Dimas buy it. Later also Tiara can side dishes to stalls," Dimas timpal.

"Mother is not going to buy a cooked side dish. I bought some vegetables" replied Ms. Ismiati. "Mom wants to cook. It's not good if you snack every day. Not healthy."

"No need to bother, ma'am. Mom can rest at home," said Dimas did not want to make his mother tired of taking care of the house.

Ms. Ismiyati reviewed the thin smile. "Not bothered. I want my son to eat home cooking."

Ms. Ismiyati also rushed to find a stall selling vegetables near the house. Fortunately there is a complex stall not far from the house of the son. Ms. Ismiyati immediately visited the stall to shop for kitchen needs.

"Please, Mom! There are vegetables, there is meat, there is tempeh. There's a ripening vegetable, too, Mom!" bargain the shop owner to Bu Ismiyati.

When Bu Ismiyati arrived at the shop, Bu Ismiyati passed by a married couple who also wanted to shop at the stall. The couple smiled at Ms. Ismiyati and greeted the middle-aged woman for a little chat.

"You want to shop, Mom?" greet a woman named Manda.

"Yes, Mommy!" sahut Bu Ismiyati is friendly. "Shop with your husband, huh?"

"Yes Mom. This is my husband. Mother's a new resident of this complex, huh?" ask Manda.

"Oh, no! My son has a house in this complex. I live in my son's house" Ms Ismiyati said.

The mother of Dimas was also acquainted with the couple's husband. The couple was none other than Manda and Adam.

Manda and Adam looked so harmonious that it made Bu Ismiyati feel envious. Especially seeing Adam accompany his wife shopping.

"A romantic mom with her husband. Until shopping at the stalls is cemented," commented Ms. Ismiyati.

"I love my wife, Mom!" chirps Adam.

"Yes, Mom. My husband is a snacker" Manda said with a small laugh.

Seeing Manda and Adam seem to get along, making Bu Ismiyati began to dream. If only his son and daughter-in-law could be a harmonious couple like Manda and Adam. But what he saw during these few days, precisely the relationship between Tiara and Dimas increasingly stretched.

"When can I see Tiara and Dimas saharmonis Manda and Adam?" batin Bu Ismiyati is hopeful.
