After Marriage
Humiliating Yourself
“You kept silent the girl's transfer, Mas?” said the Goddess not believing in all this, she stepped closer to Ikram, holding her shirt from behind, demanding to get an answer.
But Ikram just silently ignored the Goddess, as he usually did to his wife made the Goddess speechless, but it felt hot in the heart. Where can the matan of her husband's wife still quietly transferred by her husband?
For some reason, one of the people that Goddess hated the most besides Aunt Erin was Anha. Though Anha did nothing to her, instead throw the Kram into her arms but in any case the Goddess was envious because Anha still got the attention of her husband. Though Dewi also get monthly money by the number of Ikram is also a lot, but what makes Dewi envious is that Dewi does not get love and attention by Ikram, and it is all non-cashable.
“Udah, Dong, Ma. Shame, Ma, seen by many people,” said Ikram tried to stop his mother who was still struggling to ask to be released, why everything became so chaotic.
Aunt Erin who heard this stopped her action, then looked around and sure enough Aunt Erin saw many people who were currently staring at them like a free spectacle, he said, several guests whispered whispers with one and the other.
“Crazy, yes. Can be like that very same ex-minister.”
“Gue, anyway, if you have in-laws like that is not wise. Mending divorced aja.”
“The rich don't guarantee, yes, the talk is educated.”
“Oath. That's really bad people.”
And there are many more whispers that were caught by Aunt Erin's sense of hearing. Aunt Erin gulped, her shame that had disappeared now seemed to return. He's starting to wake up again. Though originally his heart intention was to humiliate his former daughter-in-law and proud of his son's wealth but even the atmosphere was reversed like this. He embarrassed himself.
This is the reason Hasan was just silent from earlier, as long as the old man did not play hands then Hasan will be silent—although actually want it to feel Hasan to retaliate. But this elegant way is the most appropriate thing to do, let the public itself judge.
Hasan looked towards Anha who was still staring intently at the three humans in front of her. Now Hasan can judge, a woman as good as Anha is not worthy to be with a man like the Ikram. Ana is too expensive.
“But, Ma..”
Finally Ikram wanted to release his mother when he saw the emotions of his mother was not as high as before.
Aunt Erin confirmed her dress, then crossed her chest. Strangely, he was still a bit old.
Aunt Erin did not dare to curse Anha anymore because she could not refute because the reality was like that, so Aunt Erin now turned to look at Hasan who was next to Anha.
“Tante tell, yes, same you. This girl is just for morotin your property. Just let go of you, deh, he. Try if you are poor. Surely this village girl will not want to be with you,” mistress Aunt Erin for the umpteenth time humiliating Anha. But, the more he tries to demean Anha instead the value of Mama Erin which actually drops in the eyes of others.
Hasan smiled, he wanted to reply to this old lady's words in an elegant manner like Anha had done earlier. Stay calm but look educated.
Hasan moved to embrace the waist of his lover from behind to get closer to him.
“Ngak, kok, Aunt. Anha is not that kind of girl. Anha is kind, beautiful, elegant, and educated. I am proud to have a fiancee like her. And my parents are also good with him,” said Hasan ended with a sideways look and smile at the woman.
