Silencing Conflicts in-laws
Chapter 11 Why Is My Destiny Like This?

"Ehh, Wait, Zakia boy! Why Zakia eats in the kitchen. It's okay to eat here! Your aunt and mother-in-law only talk about the gravestone later in the afternoon, Kok! No need to hesitate that! Yeah, Jeng!" Miss Romlah again makes Miss Siska can not dwell.

"Yes, Jeng! Understand it, Jeng! My daughter-in-law is from the village, so she is a little shy if there are strangers who visit home. That's why Zakia also eats more often in the kitchen or in the room if there are guests coming!" answer Miss Siska.

He felt very hyacinth because he continued to pretend like that to his son-in-law, when originally he felt very upset to Miss Romlah and to his daughter-in-law who he was forced to flatter it.

"It's okay, Zakia boy! This aunt is a good friend of your mother-in-law, so there is no need to hesitate or feel hesitant to aunt. Just eat here, son Zakia! Because in the kitchen is not necessarily guaranteed cleanliness," said Ms. Romlah again.

Zakia went awry, not knowing which words to follow, on the one hand, she did not dare to eat at the table, because surely later her mother-in-law will scold her after Miss Romlah came home. But he also did not want to make the good name of his father-in-law so bad in front of Miss Romlah, if he kept eating in the kitchen.

"Yes already! You eat here, Kia! Just learn to deal with strangers, don't just talk if a guest comes!" ms. Siska replied at last, albeit with great force.

"Like Clara, Jeng! He's always been wherever Jeng Siska is, but I've never seen Jeng Siska take Zakia with us or to our friends' parties. Why is it like that, Jeng?" ask Miss Romlah. 

Ms. Siska felt like she wanted to scratch the face of Ms. Romlah, because she asked too many questions and meddled in her family affairs. Though he came to the house only to discuss their arisan later in the afternoon, which will be held at the house of Miss Siska.

The chairman of their arisan is Ms. Romlah, that's why she came to see you to make sure that Ms. Siska was preparing for the evening arisan event. But now the talk of Ms. Romlah has spread everywhere and is now intervening with her affairs with her daughters-in-law. But for the sake of her reputation to remain good in front of people, Ms. Siska had to keep acting that she was a good in-law. 

"I've actually invited Zakia, Jeng! But he was the mageran, always a lot of reasons when invited. Either his head is dizzy or he has an event with his friends. That's why I take Clara more often if there's an arisan!" kilah Bu Siska is looking for a suitable answer.

"Ohh, Jeng! Yes Yes Yes! I get it now! This Jeng Siska is indeed the dream in-law, Yes!" sahut Bu Siska's.

After that Ms. Siska and Ms. Romlah continued their talk about the arisan which will be held later in the afternoon. Although actually Ms. Siska is still upset and has lost the mood to discuss the arisan, but she still tries to focus on the conversation.

While Zakia who was starving, finally decided to eat even though she was still wary of being scolded by her mother-in-law after this. Because from earlier, Miss Siska always glanced at him with the corner of her eyes, Zakia did not dare to eat delicious food, she just took rice doused with vegetable sauce. Because for Zakia, he got a bite of rice alone now is more than enough.

Already several offices Bryan came to ask for job vacancies, but Bryan has not managed to find a suitable job or office that opens job vacancies. All the offices he went to on average were not accepting new employees. Even if someone opens a job vacancy, it does not match Bryan's expertise.

Bryan again tried to find work elsewhere, the scorching sun that afternoon accompanied Bryan's steps that were like people who lost their way. Bryan did not know where to go and complained to whom. The family that he hopes can give encouragement for him, even being the person who makes Bryan worse.

"Sorry, Sir! But at the moment our company is not accepting new employees! Maybe next time you can come back!" 

"Sorry! Currently the company does not open job openings for the addition of new employees!"

"Sorry, Mr Bryan! But your degree and experience do not fit the criteria we are looking for! Please come again if later we need criteria such as your expertise!"

Rejection for the sake of rejection received by Bryan made him very frustrated. Bryan was tired, he wanted to rest his brain and body. But Bryan doesn't know where to go? Because of the house he calls his home, even his residents do not want Bryan there.

Bryan had no home, Bryan had nowhere to go. His footsteps continued to be swayed by Bryan on the road that felt very hot. Bryan's tears welled up, he cursed how unfortunate fate would be for him. Never mind to complain, Bryan doesn't even have a stopover right now. He still has a biological mother, siblings, and other extended family.

But Bryan was like a wasted orphan, walking in an uncertain direction while carrying a map containing a CV to apply for a job. If not, then Bryan will not be able to go home anytime. It was a mandatory requirement given by his mother.

"Aagrrhhh! Why is life unfair? Why was I born only to suffer? Wh why? Why did I not die at birth? Why doesn't anyone care about me? WHY TUHAAAN?" bryan shouted like a stressed person.

He does not care where he is, Bryan is tired of facing his life is always tested, but all this time Bryan always tried to make all his family happy. Everything they wanted Bryan would have fulfilled.

All of his salary he gave to his mother, Bryan never protested at all when his mother said that the money would all be kept by his mother. For Bryan to see a happy smile on his mother's face was enough. But not with his mother.

Bryan continued to shout in the streets, everyone who passed by looked on pity. Until something happened to stop Bryan screaming.

Brakkk...
