ERIKA (The Slandered Woman)
Chapter 2# Heart Slapping Gossip

Two weeks passed, and during that time, Erika was still frequent and even almost every hour could be baseless rebuke from her mother-in-law. The more days, her mother-in-law's attitude was getting colder.

"Erikaaah!"

The screams of Rani's mother began to sound.

"What are you doing? Suck your son! So dirty!" he added while staring at the disgust of his grandson who was playing a doll on the floor. He is currently sitting in a chair watching TV.

Erika who had just come out of the kitchen, with her hands carrying a meal for Icha, immediately replied, "Icha is indeed a cold again, Mom. I should have cleaned it up, not even screaming made Icha so shocked," said Erika full of gentleness. Quickly he grabbed a tissue to clean the area of the child's nose while hearing the words of ketus from the most righteous mother.

"Every day, you're getting smarter against mom. Watch out, I'll drive you to Aldo when you get home from work."

Serah, handover wae! Erika was too much of a headache to answer. He had no idea what to do in front of his mother-in-law. This and that is always wrong. Silence is considered wrong, let alone wrong. Yes... This is how the end can be an unclear threat.

"Grandmother, wishful thinking is even transparent. Later exact slugs, eh uda keliput ya." chirped Icha with a slurred tone. And the clear liquid came back up in his nose.

Rani's mother rounded her eyes. Staring fiercely at Erika who was smacking a silent smile. Erika was so anxious herself to hear the curse of Icha who might pity her because she often witnesses her mother in angerin continues.

"This must be your teaching, right? The child is still holy, but has been taught to be rude to older people!" accusers annoyed. Erika's patience is questioned.

"Sorry, Mom! Erika didn't teach my son anything bad. As the mother said, the little child is still holy and clean, must be quick to catch the positive and negative things around him. So please understand, the attitude that is considered negative is better to be thrown away. Not good for the future of a holy child like Icha."

Smooth tone but full of spicy innuendo for Ibu Rani to hear.

In order to get away from the long squabble, Erika rushed to carry Icha out of the house, while carrying spinach vegetable rice for Icha to eat.

"Brazed son-in-law!" dumel Rani's mom is upset. Just watch out anyway. He will teach his useless son-in-law a lesson.

While staring at Erika's back away from the house, Rani's lips smiled meaningfully. Then he said, "Sooner or later, Aldo will throw you out!"

"Astagfirullah..."

Three times Erika said the istighfar, while stroking her chest that huddled violently due to Mother Rani who always provoked her emotions.

"Am I that bad? O God, forgive me if my words offended my mother-in-law, who could have been a source of sin for me." she prayed inwardly.

Erika is not a naive woman, nor is she afraid of being hostile to her parents-in-law without cause where is the point of her guilt? Erika is not a saint. She was only afraid of sinning her tongue which was always tested by her own in-laws.

"Yeah, aaaa..." Erika's daydreams are crumbling when Icha again asks to be fed.

With forced lips, Erika also feeds her little daughter. Currently, he and Icha are in the patrol post. Bribing while inviting Icha to play outside the house.

"Eh, there's Erika's mother." One woman who was none other than her neighbor, joined the academy.

And his neighbors sat together. Two other housewives, come along. Erika was was, surely these three neighbors the tip of the tip will ngeghiba who does not.

"Eh, Mom mom.. You want to know?"

Erika was was also. Mother Saida's mouth has started to react to lure Mother Kokom and Julia's mother.

"What, Mom. What's?" kepo Julia's mom, enthusiastic.

"Moeuu... Yuk, puuyang..."

Thank God, Icha is very smart, the little boy is uncomfortable with the arrival of three mothers who are famous huddlers. It's nothing, even though Erika is just a loyal listener of their julidan material, still she will be splashed sin. Moreover, his sunnah fast does not want to be void in vain which has been questioned by his patience earlier about the nyinyiran in-laws themselves.

"Mother mother, I say yes first, Icha ask to go home," permission Erika takzim.

But he was held back by the sound of Mother Saida's voice slapping his heart.

"I cheated?" reiterate Erika in Mother Saida's words.

"Sorry, Miss Erika. I only heard this gossip from the mothers of jamiah-an mothers and he said this news from Ibu Rani directly. Rather than being prejudiced, I would rather go straight to Mother who happened to be here. He said, Erika's mother often smiles while chatting. And he said, it must have been a chat with his mistress. "

Astagfirullah... I don't know how many times today Erika said Istighfar. Her mother-in-law had exceeded the limit that was so hearty to play slander. This is already too much. Afraid of threatening the harmony of her household, Erika also denied the slander with a firm but as usual calm-quiet deadly.

"I often chat, Mother. But it's not a sign of cheating. And yes... I love playing the phone while my husband is working, but trust me... I play hape not because of zina or become a netizen in the comments column of any person. Excuse me!"

Erika immediately carried Icha. He no longer cared about the whispers of the three men. Not at home, outside the house his heart was the same as irritated annoyed restrained. May his sanity be awake. Amen, his prayer in heart.

Tiiig...

" Astagfirullah..."

This time, Erika is not concerned because of the mouth of the mouth of the nyinyir people, but rather he was almost hit by a male motorist who saw the motorist was still in droves.

"Ukthi, look at dong if you want to cross. Bring sister anyway. It's dangerous!"

"Sister? Where's the sister who was said to be the one wearing this black leather jacket?" erika's mind while looking to her left and right. And soon, Erika also assumed that Mas leaned in to misunderstand, Icha was his son not his sister.

"Ukthi is okay, right? Want me to take it to my house eh hospital?"

"I'm okay, Mom. And I also apologize for playing across. Then, excuse me. Assalamualaikum." Erika lowered her head in reverence for a moment before stepping over from the young man who had been charmed by Erika's polite and gentle voice that suddenly shook her heart.

" wiii... My girlfriend's candidate! Uda is beautiful, looks polite, melodious voice and want to bother taking care of sister, especially later if the child himself, surely unfortunately a million times." The motorized man commented on the sweet smile. "Emaaaak, your son found a wingless angel!" pekiknya himself.
