CHAPTER 59. A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE

“Ma! Let Varen wait outside.”

“Enak only! Silence there! Already mama said you should learn how to care for your wife.” said Indira.

“Sit first! Take off your clothes and cover your chest.” Indira said as she tried to undress her daughter. Varen jumped in shock and he immediately turned his face away from Reina's body.

Reina immediately closed the part of her body that was already open with her hands. “Ma! Varen let be outside.” pinta Reina with shy face.

Indira looked at her daughter and daughter-in-law alternately,

“You are husband and wife! They usually sleep without clothes. So there's no need to be shy like this. Varen help mommy sit down Reina!”

Varen's body stiffened instantly as did Reina. They were both confused by the circumstances they were facing right now. Indira snorted annoyedly at the sight of her son-in-law who was still sitting unmoved.

“Basic daughter-in-law useless!” he then pulled Reina's hand violently to wake her up. “Sit for a minute!”

Reina grimaced while trying to sit down. Suddenly Indira took off her handrails until Reina's body turned upside down and almost fell to the floor. Lucky Varen immediately caught his wife's body. He sat behind Reina to support his wife.

The Dug Dug…..

Their hearts were both pounding as Varen's hand held onto Reina's plain shoulder, making Reina's already hot face even hotter. Moreover, his back was attached to Varen's chest which felt hard making Reina's face red ripe. Seeing his daughter's face getting reddened Indira back to stick her palms on her forehead and her daughter's neck.

“Your body temperature does not rise. Why is your face so red? Are you allergic to it?” muttered Indira then looked at her daughter-in-law.

“Varen! Undressing Reina. There may be a rash on his body. If there is a rash, the pain will be long.” said Indira while looking at her daughter's body.

Varen obeyed his father-in-law and took off Reina's shirt, which was stuck in her limbs. Reina looked up at Varen with trembling eyes but Varen did not show any expression on her face.

“It's okay that it matters you recover.” said Varen to calm his wife's heart.

Reina also looked down embarrassed while crossing her arms covering the upper part of her body that was plainly open without being covered by a single thread.

“Thank God there is no rash. You must remember that Reina has a fever and a rash does not appear due to water and cold. He can itch and long time heal.”

Varen nodded despite his chest and head rumbling violently at the sight of his wife's innocent body but Varen went to great lengths to remember every word of his mother-in-law.

“Open Reina's chest cover and then lay down her body.” Indira's word again and then move and take a bottle of oil. Then drip it over the bowl and stir it again.

With trembling hands Varen pulled up the blanket and draped it over Reina's shoulder, covering her wife's exposed front body. Reina held onto the blanket that covered her and her body stiffened again when she felt the movement of Varen's hand that was opening the breastplate. Reina's heart was pounding even more as Varen took off the cloth slowly.

“Ayo tipped let mama apply the medicine.” said Indira while carrying a bowl of massage oil that had been mixed earlier. Reina slumped her body, occasionally coughing due to an itchy and uncomfortable throat. Varen tidied the blanket on the side of his wife's open body and closed it.

Indira sat down beside Reina and applied the oil she had concocted on her daughter's back. “Be careful how mom does it. Next time Reina has a fever, massage her body like this. Massage a little hard until the skin is slightly flushed but not too strong. The former will be hard to lose. After blushing the soft massage.” Indira said while practicing.

Although Varen did not understand the reason Reina should be treated like that but she still noticed the hand movements of her mother-in-law. “If only in the compress or given the drug Reina will not heal. It may hurt for up to a week. And you should remember not to occasionally compress it if Reina has a fever and a rash appears on her skin. You're her husband should know how to take care of your wife if she's sick.”

Indira re-applied the oil to Reina's back. “Reina's son is crybaby unlike her brother. If she felt sick, she would cry. But do not let later he coughs and if he is nauseous again just give warm water as you taught before.” said Indira. He saw his sleeping daughter.

“See! Just massaged she's asleep, Reina if sick does not need to see a doctor. It's just that you have to put up with the sound of her crying. Do you understand what Mom said?” indira looked at.

“Paham, ma.” said Varen then again noticed the hand movements of his mother-in-law. It turns out that cruel parents are still parents.

They love their children in a different way. Although Indira nags a lot and says rudely to Reina but she knows all the good things for her daughter.

“Mama can't stay here long. Elora's gonna be pissed if she finds out we're gone too long. Find a shirt for Reina.” he said as he grabbed a towel from the compress to wipe his daughter's back from the rest of the oil.

“Sweater can?” ask Varen.

“Today shirt clothes are loose so he is comfortable.” replied Indira without stopping his activities.

“Reina doesn't have a shirt like that ma. She only has piayamas and a nightgown.”, said Varen. Indira looked at her daughter-in-law and smiled warmly. “Just bring your shirt and wear it for him.” he said in a soft tone.

Varen was stunned because only this time his in-laws spoke softly to him. He opened his closet and looked for his shirt. Then she dressed Reina. Varen turned his wife's body upside down while wearing a t-shirt.

“Give him a loose shirt if he has a fever let him feel comfortable.” Indira said in a vibrating voice.

Varen glanced at her mother-in-law who was crying while rubbing her daughter's face. “Our guess is right, although you haven't been able to give Reina a treasure but you can give her affection and attention.”

Indira wiped her tears and grabbed Reina's right hand and noticed the ring in her daughter's finger. “Thank God! You gave him a ring. Mama is forced to take her wedding ring from Bobby because if you do not immediately secure it later Elora will take it from him. Reina doesn't need it anymore. Bobby is not a good man for him.”

Varen was stunned, she did not know that there was something that her in-laws had hidden behind her rude attitude all along. Varen was moved to see her mother-in-law crying while kissing her daughter's face.

“Maybe you think our attitude is cruel to Reina but this is all we can do for her good.”
