ERIKA (The Slandered Woman)
Chapter 3# Doesn't Match Rani's Expectations

Erika went home with her chest held up and down in a great huddle.

It seemed, Erika was eager to have a one-on-one chat with her mother-in-law right now, but she had to think of Icha who should not watch her mother-in-law's scathing arguments continuously.

"Darling, Icha has eaten. Played too. So then... What time, honey?"

"Bobo ciang..."

"Smart!" Erika smiled as she slowly pulled the tip of her son's nose in a frenzy while smiling sweetly.

After washing Icha's hands and feet, Erika brought the tiny figure to her room. Icha singing while singing sholawatan. Previously, Icha occasionally chimed the sholawat with his slurred voice, but a few minutes later, Icha was asleep in the warm embrace of Erika's affection.

"Thank God, you're finally asleep." Cup... The kiss of affection touched Icha's forehead. After that, the side of the bed Erika gave a pillow as a guard so that her child does not fall when wriggling or moving in his sleep.

Aware of holding back her boobs that murmured, Erika finally walked to find a mother figure that was glorified by her husband.

"Where is mom? Where in the room is there?" Only an empty room was in front of his eyes. Quickly, three times knocking on the door while yelling earlier, even no answer. It's empty!

Furthermore, Erika looked for her mother-in-law to the kitchen area and sure enough. Rani's mother is currently eating.

Astagfirullah, side dishes are spent all without leaving a piece of fried fish that he cooked earlier. Only the spinach vegetable sauce is still visible in the bowl.

"If it's about the taste of the cuisine, I do admit your expertise," said Rani's mother to Erika who only gulps down at this time. It's okay, this is just food, Erika sincerely ridho even though her stomach will definitely ask for rations filled. But for her husband, how do you try? Where the ingredients in the refrigerator there is no stock.

"Don't forget to wash the dishes directly," said Songong the mother while licking the rest of the sambel that was attached to her finger.

Erika let out a weak breath. Then obediently compile the tools of his former in-laws. Her respect for Ms. Rani is still there to this day. But he also does not know, what will patience be throughout? Humanity does not escape the word khilaf and wrong, right? He was just afraid it would get out of control.

" Mom, is it true that Saida's mother said that I slandered Erika for cheating?" erika asked in a trembling tone as it held back her emotions from exploding.

No answer yet, Ms. Rani shuffled towards the sink to wash her hands.

Erika approached while carrying the dirty dishes.

"Mom why would you slander me?"

Soon, Rani's mother glared. Then he answered, "It's not slander, but reality. You often play mobile phones while listening to the grin. And said the mother of Jamiahan's mother, it's a sign that she is in a friendly chat with her love."

"Astagfirullah, Mommy! That's wrong!" refuting Erika began to high intonation without he realized. Her mother-in-law and her fellow study friends seemed to be useless to have a community of jamiah, if the tip ends only gossip.

"Mom is not blind! You do often play hape while momong Icha. Sometimes the house is a mess, you ignore it. Just a toy hape. How could I not hate seeing it!" nagging Mother Rani by suppressing the word fun.

Erika stroking her face, frustrated. "Mom, please, don't put my position on the brink of destruction. I'm afraid mother's slander goes into Mas Aldo's ear, ma'am." she begged.

"That's what I want." Mother's inner voice replied as she snorted her lips cynically.

And ah, Erika is the unlucky bearer in her family. Her husband died, then the old house sold out, surely because of Erika's misfortune. That's what Ibu Rani's narrow mind is. Erika the fucking carrier!

"Mother, Erika often play hape because of work, Mom. Not cheating!"

"Halaah, just excuse me. What part of your work? Your cup is that good at lying?"

Astagfirullah...

"Erika is a writer, Mom. It's good to add more to connect the contents of the kitchen," said Erika kalem kalem mengkel in the heart.

"Mom doesn't believe! You and all of us eat here because of Aldo's hard-earned money, not yours!"

Erika speechless. Replying to the words of his mother-in-law who is all right, there will certainly be no end to it. Until his mouth foamed foam explained, it will still be useless because the Mother-in-law already has her own assumptions.

If he had no feelings, he had already described this and it was their sad finances. Salary of three million in one month is enough what try? Five hundred thousand, as if obliged to give her in-laws. Okay, Erika sincere. Even though, Mother is tough, replied her husband as the only son.

More, he has loan installments in the bank of eight hundred and five thousand rupiah in the range of two years installments. At that time, the money to buy the husband's motorbike as a means of transportation worked. Thought Aldo, it's better to owe in the bank than to have his motorcycle loan straight away. Loss said!

And keep in touch, Erika auto got the impact of economic distress that God willing she always faithfully maintain the honor of her husband by not complaining about the shortcomings out there. Because of that, one year ago there was a friend of his who sosmed freelance work. Working while momong children is the smart thing. But astagfirullah, he was even slandered. It was painful for Erika.

"Assynn...!"

The tension between Erika and Rani's mother is disturbed by the sound of Aldo's return.

"Italy...!" erika welcomed her husband in a kind tone. She did not want to make her husband dizzy because of the tension. And God willing Erika will tell her freelance work to Aldo after her husband is not tired anymore. Rather there is a slander that is not unlike the allegations of his mother-in-law who may understand what the freelance work system is like.

"Daddy, I'm hungry. Be prepared to eat ya." said Aldo after Erika finished kissing the back of her hand.

Allahuahbar... Erika mentioned it in her heart while patting her head. Yesterday, all his side dishes were eaten mertunya. How'this?

"Mas, I'm cooking boiled noodles, is that okay?" Erika looked down as Aldo looked at her full of question marks.

The mother-in-law silently smiled. Must be this storm mah.ah.

"Aren't you cooking? "

Erika was speechless as Aldo said again.

"Ah, surely there is no money? Sorry, you must be hungry too. This is my salary this month. May you be blessed!"

Hearing her husband's understanding, almost made Erika cry. But he held it because he did not want to be considered more or crybaby by his in-laws who had been a generous listener.

"Well, how come it's not a storm?!" Ibu Rani was upset in her heart because what she saw in front of her eyes did not match her expectations.
