One Roof With Honey Choice In-Law
Blame your Mother

"Two years friends. Two years of dating. Then six years married. Did it all end like this?" mummified Abidzar.

The man walked towards the glass wall. Looking at the outside view from the height he was standing at. His one hand looked up as if he wanted to touch the sunlight that hit his skin. Unfortunately Abidzar could not feel the warmth of the touch because his heart and soul were numb.

"Why are you doing this, Dza?" mummified Abidzar.

Abidzar clucked slowly and sat back in his chair. Remembering his past with Dzakiyya who became the prima donna of the campus. Beautiful, kind, obedient, polite and a barrage of other positive values that make her fall in love. But as soon as he remembered what he saw last night, Abidzar could not help but hate him.

"I'm sorry, even though I love you so much, but I hate you too!" inner Abidzar.

Abidzar rubbed his face violently. Then leaned against the back of the chair to enjoy the two feelings between hate and love that dredged the scar in his heart. Abidzar was pensive for a long time until he heard the sound of the door being opened. From a perfume whose scent was carried by the wind, Abidzar knew the culprit was Ral.

"You still dare to come?" ask Abidzar.

The man was so cold. He refused to even turn his chair to greet Ral. While back there, Ral did not post the question because the purpose here is not to discuss the problem.

"Bid, I'm resigning!" Ral.

The man put his resignation letter on the table. Ral always joked about his resignation. But this time Ral wasn't messing around, he was serious. He also had his things sorted out before he went to meet Abidzar.

"Whatever!" answer Abidzar.

His attitude is so indifferent. Even Abidzar said it without thinking. Ral needed such a cynical smile then decided to leave right then and there.

"Then I'm leaving now!" pamit Ral's.

Just by hearing the sound of the sole of the shoes that Ral was wearing, Abidzar knew Ral was already heading for the exit. But just before opening the door Ral stopped. Reminds Abidzar of the last time as a friend.

"Bid, you'll regret divorcing Dzakiyya!" Ral.

The divorce between Dzakiyya and Abidzar has not been finalized. For this reason Ral warned Abidzar while there was still a chance to refer. Unfortunately Abidzar was not interested in it. Ral gave up and left after saying one last sentence.

"Be careful with Joshua. He's not a good man!" Ral.

Ral left the company without a burden. Ride his car and choose the Dzakiyya house as his destination. Divorced while pregnant, Ral could not imagine how Dzakiyya would feel right now. A few minutes later Ral arrived at his destination. But Ral doesn't see Dzakiyya in the room.

"Did he go?" inner Ral.

The man began to search. But it did not find him until I heard a voice coming from the room of Dzakiyya's parents.

"Who is he talking to?" ral Mumbled.

Ral is approaching. Seeing clearly Dzakiyya was curled up and hugging the picture of her parents. Dzakiyya is not alone, because a few steps from the bed stands one figure who is none other than Talitha.

"Is that true?" ask Talitha.

Talitha had long stood by the side of the bed. Countless he asked. But Dzakiyya still refused to open her mouth.

"Let's answer. What did Mas Abid say was true?" ask Talitha again.

The sound is louder. It seems like the word snapping is more suitable than it is called by asking a question. But Dzakiyya is still unmoved. What else does he have to say. Even if he said no, no one would believe him.

"Are you mute?" ask Talitha.

The girl finally lost her patience. Not only was his speech rude but what he did was even more rude. Talitha snatched away the photo that Dzakiyya was holding before slamming it to the floor.

Dzakiyya was not angry. All he did was stare at the photo whose frame was falling apart. Very different from Ral. The man who became the audience finally interfered once he saw Talitha's behavior that he considered to be passing.

Talitha. Seeing the man she loved taking the photo she slammed and giving it to her sister-in-law. What Ral did was very ordinary but in Talitha's eyes it looked very romantic.

"Did you do that with him?" ask Talitha.

For not getting an answer from Dzakiyya. Talitha asked Ral. The girl did not just stand in front of Ral. He also pointed to Dzakiyya and changed his call from the word 'move' to the word 'him'.

"Yes, we did it. I forced him. Are you satisfied now?" reply Ral.

Talitha. Didn't expect Ral to answer like that. Shouldn't he deny it. Does that mean they're really cheating.

"You you really did it. Why?" ask Talitha.

"Because she's beautiful and I love her" Ral replied.

Talitha was so jealous to hear that. Of the many men why should Ral. Talitha didn't accept that. From that answer Talitha understood it was not Dzakiyya that he deserved to blame. But Talitha still blamed it as a form of venting her heartache.

"What is less than Mas Abid! Why would you do this to her, huh?" ask Talitha.

The girl was standing right in front of Dzakiyya right now. Strong protest because Dzakiyya could betray her brother.

"It's none of your business!" answer Dzakiyya.

This time Dzakiyya was not just silent. The woman got up, then walked to the dresser to comb her hair. Talitha who did not like to be treated like that wanted to catch up with him but her steps were stopped by the question that Ral was asking for her.

"Is Abidzar so perfect in your eyes?" ask Ral.

His tone was so flat while his face was expressionless. Just by looking at it Talitha knew Ral was angry.

"My brother is kind, handsome, well-established and responsible. Isn't that perfect?" reply Talitha.

In Talitha's eyes, Abidzar is perfect. But not in Ral's eyes.

"Omong empty. That's not the determinant of perfection" Ral argued.

Not only does it deny Talitha's opinion. Ral also began to approach Talitha making him take a few steps back.

"Don't listen to his friend and wife's explanation. Doubt his own son and make his wife live like hell. Is that what you call perfect?" cecar Ral's.

"Mas Abid treated him well. So why do you say such a thing. If Mas Abid's second marriage made her life hell, then blame her for not getting pregnant!" shout Talitha.

"Enough!" snapped Ral.

The man was really angry now. It was shock and heartache that Talitha felt. And that made him silent a thousand languages.

"Look, if you want to blame someone then blame your mother. She's the one who made Dzakiyya not get pregnant!" ral continued.

"That's impossible!" sangkal Talitha's.

Ral grinning. He knew that kind of reaction Talitha would give. But Ral was already unconcerned as there was no point in making him believe his words.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. I don't give a shit. Since you already know everything you should leave now!" expel Ral.
