Not the Perfect Wife
244. S2 - Working with in-laws
"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am," Rani said to Ivan's mother.
"Waalaikumsalam" said the woman.
Rani sits in the back with Ivan's mother while the man in front is alone. The woman was nervous. This was the first time he met his future father-in-law and was immediately applied to his parents' home in the village. They leave the family home of Emran, heading to Rani's village.
"You are so beautiful, Ivan deserves to fall in love with you" said Sari, Ivan's mother.
"Mom was too complimentary. Mother is also beautiful" said Rani. "Mother, what's the leg?" rani asked when she saw the legs of her future father-in-law were bandaged.
"It's okay just sprained yesterday at home."
"Mom's food should be careful. How many times has Ivan said, if you want anything, call someone else. Don't do it yourself" said Ivan in front.
"Why are you following me? I talked to Rani again. You shut up, look ahead" said Mama Ivan.
Actually Ivan was equally surprised, when he saw his mother get off the train with a stick. Mama Sari never said that her legs were sprained. If he knew that, he wouldn't have asked his mother to come. The man can ask for an uncle or other relative only. Even this morning when going to leave Ivan had banned his mother, but his mother still kekeuh want to meet with the prospective daughter-in-law and her besi.
"Some of me, right, have paid people to take care of Mama. Why did Mama never terrorize me at all? I'll fire them. It's also free the salary of people whose work is not right," said Ivan with annoyance.
"Mama doesn't want to be treated by others.
Mama wants to be treated with her own son and daughter-in-law," said Mama Sari then turned to look at Rani. "If you were Ivan's wife, would you like to, yes, stay with me?"
Rani is silent, she doesn't know anything about Ivan's parents, but refusing in person is also definitely not tasty. The woman was confused as to what.
"Ma, I'm looking for a wife not for mama's nemenin, in the village. Unless you want to live in the city, no papa accompanied by Rani. If Mama wants to take Rani to the village, what difference does it make if I marry her or not?" sahut Ivan who understands Rani's anxiety.
Mama Ivan thought it was true what her son said. If he takes Rani, when will he have a grandchild? While the middle-aged woman did not want to live in the city.
"Why not, Mom?" rani asked, even though Ivan was a rich man. All of her mother's wishes could be fulfilled.
"If Mama lives in the city, surely you will be busy with each other's activities, finally Mama is alone at home. It's better in the village a lot of nemenin."
"Mother, right, is still doing something else. My employer is always at home, but never bored. Something's been done."
They also talked about Rani and Mama Ivan's life outside the city. Rani is happy because her future father-in-law is a good person. Not like the one in her shadow.

"Sorry, Sir. The proposal of our cooperation was rejected by the company of Mr. Lucky," said Iwan Khairi confidant.
"How come? Didn't they offer us cooperation?"
"Said Mr. Ivan's men, Bu Luna came to the company because he knew you were applying for cooperation there. I don't know what he's talking about to make them reject us."
"I understand what you mean." Khairi was really dizzy, now he was facing a cunning person.
How do I get clients? Because it seemed like he went wherever surely Luna would follow him and destroy his plan.
At the moment the man is replacing the job of Ivan who is on leave. Iwan would normally work on Ivan's orders so, now he was only temporarily replacing.
"Where might I dare to put a proposal there. It's the same as using my wife's family."
"Why do you think that way? We ask for help not only. They also get results, right! It's just that there's a lot of capital we need. We also do not ask for help just like that, we make our project proposal and submit it to them. Even though it does not belong to your in-laws, we will also still ask for cooperation with them. You better think about it. It's not just about you and me, but a lot of workers who depend on their family life in this company. You know for yourself how hard it is to find a job at a time like now. Graduates of the bachelor course are not necessarily able to work then, how the fate of our production workers who average all high school graduates. They also support their families."
Khairi thought about what his confidant said. It is true, many are dependent on the company, especially in the production section. They will work where later if this company will really go out of business.
Khairi rubbed his face violently. His responsibility is not only the wife, but also the entire family of his employees.
"Alright, you just prepare a proposal to submit to the company Mr. Emran. We'll be there after lunch."
"Well, I'll prepare." Iwan immediately left his superior room. While Khairi is still daydreaming at his desk.
"Hopefully everything went well, as Iwan said. It's up to people to say I use my in-laws name. I will be responsible for all the work done by my employees."
After lunch, Khairi and Iwan go to Emran's company. Some of them already knew that the man was their superior son-in-law. Nothing was holding back the arrival of the two. Especially when Khairi said if he wanted to meet with the company's leadership, no one asked why.
"Sorry, can you meet Mr Emran?" khairi said to a receptionist.
"Sorry, sir, but Mr. Emran is having a meeting outside."
"If Mr. Aydin, can I meet him or Mr. Rudi."
"So, I'll call you first."
The woman contacted someone. He said what Khairi wanted. b
"Sir, please go up to the twelfth floor. Later there will be people who take you to see Mr. Rudi," said the receptionist.
"Thank you" Khairi and Iwan headed to the floor that the receptionist had pointed to.
While in the elevator Khairi suddenly felt insecure. Just this time he felt nervous like this when he met a client. He is usually the most confident when he meets anyone. Maybe it was because her client was her in-laws or because she went with Iwan, not with his trust secretary.
Too late in daydreaming, to make Khairi unconscious if they have reached the intended floor.
"Master, we've arrived" Iwan said.
"Ah, yes, come!"
