My wife's a fraud
Beloved Son-in-law

Gita cries silently in the bathroom, splashes water on her body, and removes the disgusting traces that Arki has carved on her body.

Although it was still quite early in the morning, Gita did not care. The cold that bit his skin was nothing compared to the humiliated feeling he felt after doing the activity earlier.

Gita really doesn't believe in Arki anymore. All his promise yesterday not to touch it turned out to be a lie. The man instead calmly attacked him while asleep. Now he doesn't look guilty at all. Even though the Gita had hit him, pinched him, and almost slapped him. Arki did not say an apology once.

After long confining herself in the bathroom, Gita simply encapsulated herself on one of the sofas in the living room. Turn on the TV until the crying can be disguised.

Gita has made her determination to end her relationship with Arki. This time he still escaped, fortunately Arki did not take his honor. But that doesn't mean the next time the guy won't do it. He could have been crazy like that.

“Gita, why are you crying early in the morning?” said Ela who looks surprised to see her daughter-in-law hugging her knees on the sofa and teary eyes. She had just left the room, wanting to prepare breakfast for her son and daughter-in-law.

“It's okay, Mom. Gita likes to suddenly sad, understand the influence of unstable pregnancy hormones,” said Arki who suddenly appeared in the middle room, then approached Gita and kissed the top of his ship from behind. His hand gently stroked Gita's back.

Instantly Gita becomes scared and nervous to be near Arki. Unknowingly bit her lower lip and froze in place. He doesn't like Arki touching him. Especially after the incident a few hours ago, made him even more afraid of the existence of Arki.

Gita was a little distracted by Arki's words earlier. She never cried or suddenly became sad as Arki mentioned. Where did that lie come from? Why is Arki trying to cover up a lie about the Gita pregnancy?

“Ooh, but you're really okay, right? Do you want to make food to not be sad anymore? All I want to eat breakfast,” said Ela who worried about her daughter-in-law.

“No need, Mom. I'm okay.” Gita immediately stood up from the chair and walked into the kitchen. Actually to avoid interaction with Arki, which increasingly makes it uncomfortable.

Finally Gita spends her time with Ela preparing breakfast. They talk and share recipes. Gita's heart became calmer now, as her focus was sidetracked with a pleasant chat with Ela.

Gita felt very comfortable being near her in-laws, like interacting with her own mother. Although Gita never remembered how her mother was because she died when Gita was 4 years old. Gita's memory of the mother figure is her stepmother, who often scolded her for only minor mistakes.

If he has to separate from Arki, it means that Gita has to part with Ela as well. Perhaps her in-laws would also hate her, heeding the ultimatum when they asked for her blessing not to part within a short time of marriage.

His feelings become a rage. He did not want to make this woman disappointed, especially to make her hurt. But the Gita can't stand all of Arki's behavior. Why would a woman as good as this have a son as terrible as Arki?

“You still often contact your stepmother, Git?” ela asked cautiously, not wanting her question to weigh on her daughter-in-law's feelings, as she had lied about her family.

Gita was silent for a moment, her heart breaking with shame and guilt. All this time he said he didn't have a single family on Ela. But the woman knew. Did Arki tell him? Gita believes her lie has also disappointed Ela, especially if Gita tells a lie about her pregnancy.

“Mother ... I ..” Gita became nervous and unable to speak properly.

“Mommy already knows about your family,” reply is calm. He knew his daughter-in-law must have been shocked by the question.

“Arki who told you?”

“No, there are others who tell you about your family. It's okay, Gita. I'm not mad you're hiding about your family. But next time don't repeat! We will already be a family, should not play secrets like this, even though your relationship with your stepmother is not good. Arki also said about his father who has been divorced from your same mother for a long time, right? Even if he does not want to send his father to the wedding, you do not want to know how the relationship in your husband's family,” said Ela advising.

“I'm sorry, Bu.”

“You are now a mother's child, you have a lot to tell about yourself. Let's not misunderstand each other.” Ela stroked Gita's back gently, showing that she was not at all bothered by Gita's little lies about her family.

“Former mother pingin really have a daughter, so can nemenin cook like gini. But even given a boy who is very anti the same kitchen. It is also beautiful if taught how to cook at home. Now I'm really cool, dapet mantu jago cook your kayak. Later mom often comes here or you come to the house, so we can cook while chatting a lot,” said Ela excited. It was seen from the look on his face that he was very happy and loved his daughter-in-law.

Guilt piled high in Gita's heart after hearing him say that. Gita is also happy with this kind of activity with Ela. But very afraid, sad, and disappointed in himself who had lied to his father-in-law mercilessly.

Ela was driven home this afternoon by Arki. He also wanted to take Gita to drive him and stop by for a while at home. But Arki said that Gita easily tired and dizzy because of pregnancy. The unnecessary and unreal lies that Arki suddenly adds. She also seems to know that Gita is reluctant to share the trip with her, let alone escort her mother.

“You fought this morning with Gita?” asked Ela suddenly on the way home.

“No, we don't fight.”

“Don't lie to you, Ki! Last morning Gita was crying and being a pendiem as well you know why? Do you think you don't know what?”

Arki sighed. “Nothing. We just had a little debate this morning, later also better yourself.”

“Yes, Ki? Watch out if you—“

“Iya, yes. I'm not curbing or demonizing Gita, Mom. Proof I love her permission to work again fit pregnant again kayak now.”

“Ya should. If Gita wants to work, you better give her permission. We don't know what life is going to look like. The woman must be independent and have a grip. Later if left with a husband like Mother, pity he wants to live like how.”

“Mother is calm. I won't leave Gita for any reason. I've given Gita a lot of supplies if you have to live without me.”

“Revelation if you cheated! I'll curse you to be a rock.”

Arki chuckled at the threat of his mother. “There is also the Arki that used to be cheated on right, Mom?” he retorted while glaring into the streets ahead.

Ela was stunned for a moment, reminiscing about how hurt Arki was then. “May Gita not like your ex first. You also have to improve your attitude, Ki. Do not be easily emotional or rude, let alone be vengeful!”

“Mother why even worry about Gita continue than me? Kan I'm the mother's son, not Gita,” said Arki sulking feigning anger.

“Now Gita is also the son of Mother. Moreover, her husband is you, whose behavior is sometimes ugly and very hard character.”

Arki smiled briefly. “Mother I think is very dear to Gita?”

“Yes is. Seneng mother can be good ghost, beautiful, good cook and take care of Gita kayak house. Especially now that I want to have a grandson.”

“If Mom is as happy as it has a daughter-in-law, then I have to keep Gita so as not to run anywhere,” said Arki sounded dark among his growing smile.

Arki just this time saw his mother looking radiant and excited. After all this time it seemed like she was looking forward to having a daughter-in-law.

Not only his mother who was happy with the presence of Gita, Arki also felt happy. Moreover, Gita is really the right woman and can make her excited again like last night. Of course Arki will not let go of the rare woman.

“Ki, have you visited Gita to my father's house?” ask Ela suddenly.

“Ngapain?” balas Arki was not happy.

“Yes, know it. Your father also needs to know his son-in-law. Your father kept calling you and Gita. She was also disappointed not to be invited to come to your wedding.”

“I don't want to take Gita to see Dad. Why do you still like communication with him? Ah, I don't want to talk about him! Make sprains!”
