All the incoming messages that were blocked a few days ago now filled Alisha's message room. His hand shook because of something he had not even seen. If possible, he does not want to open the existing message space on his phone. But he had to open it up to find out if there were any catering orders coming in for the future.

And his feeling has never been wrong, he saw the name of the mother-in-law again topped the list of messages he received, he said, with the number of unread messages next to him was twenty-three messages.

Alisha took a deep breath before opening it. She looked around to see if her husband was nearby. They were at the airport and waiting in the waiting room for boarding.

After reading and replying to messages from her customers, Alisha began to read her mother-in-law's message.

You're home today? Just wait! You will die in my hands

Basic******fucking! How long have you ignored my message?

Hey, ******! Reply message! Have Bian call his mama!

Alisha could not continue reading those messages anymore. Unknowingly tears had already flooded his cheeks. He wants to turn off his phone again and put it in his bag, before Bian sees it. But he was late, Bian took his phone first.

Seeing his wife crying, Bian saw that something had happened to him. Keeping Alisha's cell phone, she sat crouching in front of her and asked gently.

“Why are you crying, hm?”

Alisha just shook her head, but her tears could no longer be contained. He tried to wipe her but still the tears would not stop.

“Mama again?” ask Bian.

Alisha had to nod. He won't be able to keep this from Bian.

Bian sighed again, this time heavier than usual. But when Bian asked what his mother did this time, Alisha would not answer him. He saw Alisha glancing at her phone several times.

Bian also opened Alisha's cell phone which made his wife immediately aghast.

“Yang, don't!” yelled Alisha lirih.

“Seeing you cry, anxious because you keep looking at your phone, and now I can't see the contents, it makes me even more curious, dear”

“But.” Alisha is getting nervous.

Bian did not reply again, he just smiled and then opened Alisha's phone. He immediately opened the message room on the phone.

Now Bian knows what has been looming over his wife all this time. If only he could not hold back because many people around him, he had shouted as loudly as he could. He didn't think his mother could be that bad to his wife. Even the words he spoke were inappropriate to come out of the mouth of a Lady Herdianto.

“If you call mom, do you think mom will just shut up? He'll think that I'm complaining to you, and who else will be his escape? Me, dear” bright Alisha.

Bian was eager to defend his wife in front of her, but what Alisha said was true. His anger will only make Alisha's position more difficult in that house. His presence alone was to blame, especially if he looked like a complainant.

“But, darling.mama has gone too far. I want to save you”

Alisha now smiled again, though her eyes had started to puff up from crying too much. She is grateful to have Bian always support her, even though her enemy is now her own mother.

“I'm happy, have a husband like you. But I don't want my handsome husband to be a bad boy” Alisha said.

Fortunately, they had to board, so the conversation had to stop. Bian returned Alisha's phone. His wife did forbid him, but he would not be able to just stand idly by to see his wife treated like that.

Bian called David to pick him up at the airport. While waiting for their car to arrive, Bian and Alisha seem to be in a cold war even though they are not.

Even until the house they still struggle with their respective minds. Bian was thinking about what steps he should take, while Alisha was thinking about how to save herself from her in-laws. In the car, David was confused. He thought the couple had just returned home from their honeymoon but had a fight.

Mama Liana came out gracefully and without saying anything. He could not shower his daughter-in-law with blasphemies as long as there was Bian beside him. He greeted the arrival of his son and son-in-law with a very forced welcome.

“Biaaan, mama's son.kok you just came home now anyway? You didn't talk to Mom either. Called also can not” nagging his mother.

Bian seemed to be holding back his emotions so as not to explode right then and there. Alisha could see it from her trembling fist. Alisha tries to cover it up by holding Bian's hand.

As if he understood the code from Alisha, Bian took off his fist, caught his breath, and answered his mother's questions.

“If the honeymoon, it is not natural that people do not want to be disturbed?” cold answer.

Bian immediately invited Alisha into the room. While her mama glanced at Alisha as if saying with her eyes “I will take care of you” soon

“Yang, can I ask you something?” ask Alisha.

“Of course you can, ask aja” replied Bian while opening his suitcase.

“Mm, why do you hate me so much? What should I do with my next mama?” ask with a timid tone.

Bian stopped his activity from removing clothes from the suitcase. He looked at Alisha, and looked back at the suitcase underneath. Alisha can read her husband's attitude. He was also confused as to what to answer. For he himself did not understand why his mother hated him so much.

But one thing he can answer.

“Whatever your mom bothers you, you should know that me and mom are different.”

“.. No matter what mom does, I stay by your side, stay your husband, keep loving you. So do not worry about things that will not happen, yes!”

Bian's words were soothing to Alisha's heart. But his mind can still feel the anger and hatred of his in-laws who will soon haunt his life. Because now there is no way for him to escape or ignore his in-laws again.

Alisha is not a weak woman. She did not show an attitude of rejection or self-defense solely for the sake of maintaining her husband's feelings. But in her heart she was determined, if Alisha had always been placed in a difficult position, and had already crossed the line of her patience, she would not have allowed herself to be denigrated continuously.
