Silencing Conflicts in-laws
Chapter 3 Because of the Broken Plate

Ronald walked towards the bathroom with a mysterious smile on his face. A cunning plan neatly stored in his brain, this morning he was about to launch.

Zakia, who was busy washing dirty dishes in the kitchen, was unaware of her sister-in-law's presence there, until a burly hand touched her wrist as she rinsed the dishes.

Prangs... 

The plate in Zakia's hand came off, he was very surprised to see Ronald already behind him with a smile that he thought was terrible.

"Ka-k Ronald's. What's your brother doing here?" tanya Zakia stutters. 

He was very afraid to see the face of his sister-in-law who looked at him fixedly.

"Of course I want to see you, honey," Ronald replied with a wink to Zakia.

"But why, brother? I mean..."

Zakia was increasingly afraid to see Ronald approaching her.

"Hey what's with you sister-in-law? Of course I'm here to wash my hands, are you blind?" ronald said he made Zakia a little relieved. 

"Then wash your hands, brother. I'll take care of this broken plate later. Excuse me..." 

Zakia put the broken plate in her hand in the sink and rushed away, but Ronald again prevented it.

"What I said was true, Zakia. Aren't you interested?" ronald's words astonished Zakia. 

Because he didn't feel like he had a conversation with his brother-in-law this morning, but now Ronald says it strangely. 

"Which brother's word is it?" ask Zakia. 

"Ck, don't pretend you don't know, Kia. I know very well you want that too" said Ronald increasingly confused Zakia. 

"Sorry, Brother. But I really don't understand what you mean. I'll take care of you, brother. There is still a lot of work to do" replied Zakia.

"When will you be at home as a babu in this house and the wife of that ordinary clerk, Zakia?" ronald asked again to undo Zakia's steps. 

"Until my husband can give us a decent life, brother," Zakia replied without hesitation.

"Oh yeah? Are you sure your husband will give you a life worth living? I'm not sure, you'd better live with me and I'll make you queen" Ronald said.

"Sorry, I really don't understand what you mean. I'm Ronald's brother-in-law, and Bryan's my husband. So you don't talk strangely" said Zakia.

"Don't be a hypocrite, Kia. I know every woman wants to be pampered, including you. Be a part of my life and I'll give you everything you want" Ronald said.

"Don't be silly, brother. I am your sister-in-law and you have a wife" said Zakia bravely.

"That's a simple matter, Kia. I'll...."

"What is it, Mom? What are you doing here?" clara asked him to surprise them.

"Eh, Honey. That, i..."

"Good God. Look what happened to my mom's favorite plate. This bad guy must have done it, right? Just watch out, mama will definitely teach you a lesson. Mama.....!" clara shouted to her mother-in-law. 

"What the hell is it, Clar? Mama's butterflies get sick from your screams, this again why even a rame-rame here. Didn't Ronald have a meeting this morning?" ask Siska.

"Look at that, Ma. Look what happened to your favorite plate," said Clara, pointing to the sink.

Siska's eyes widened to see the expensive plate that became her favorite was already in pieces. He stared intently at Zakia, and Zakia was pale with fear. He already knew if soon he would be scolded for breaking the expensive plate, even though he accidentally.

"Hey bearer of havoc! What have you done with my expensive plate, huh? You're not good at doing anything!" maki ma'am Siska. 

"Sorry, Ma. I didn't mean it, just now..."

"So Zakia bengong while washing dishes, Ma. Good thing I reprimand, if not sure all of your favorite plates and glasses will be destroyed by this woman," Ronald cut as Zakia wanted to answer.

Siska's face immediately flushed red, she was very angry to see her daughter-in-law who was not good at working it.

"Oh so you did this on purpose, Kia? Do you know how much I bought that plate? Even you may never have held onto that kind of money, and now you're deliberately breaking the plate. You are useless!" ms. Siska again gave her scathing words.

"Sorry, Ma. I really didn't mean it, Ma!" sahut Zakia who has shed tears. 

Nor was he allowed to defend himself, Ronald always cut off his words when he would defend himself.

"You think with that sorry word of yours, my expensive plate can come back huh? So if you have a brain that is used, do not just harm others. Now quickly clean everything up, after that clean all the yards of the house, even then it can not eliminate my irritation to you!" ms. Siska would not listen to anything from her daughter-in-law's mouth.

"Good, Ma. I'll take care of everything" replied Zakia obediently. He could not go against the orders of his in-laws because later the problem would be more complicated.

Armada Jaya PT. 

Unsettled thoughts were felt by the employees of PT Armada Jaya who attended the meeting this morning. 

Because the condition of the company that is deteriorating is severe and can be said to be very bad caused by the company officials who are still civilizing corruption practices, and, until finally the rottenness was also smelled by Mr. Ranenda as the owner of PT Armada Jaya.

Today at an impromptu meeting at the office, because the company's turnover is very far from normal, finally Mr. Ranendra, the company's CEO came to visit and asked to hold a meeting with all employees. Because after further review, the company's turnover decreased drastically due to the smuggling of funds by some parties in the company.

As a result of their greed, now people who have nothing to do are affected. Like only one who ate the chopsticks, but everyone got the sap.

"Alright, we as PT Armada Jaya will take decisive action for the current problems in the company. Because of declining turnover and not suitable, then by forced and very sorry we will reduce some employees to save and stabilize the condition of our company. 

To whose name is listed in the list that is released, we apologize and thank you for the services so far for the progress of the company. And for the severance we will try but of course we have to be patient first, surely we will process soon" said Mr. Ranendra explained. 

The dag dig dug.

The dag dig dug..

All the employees were waiting anxiously, Bryan was no exception. He is very anxious if his name goes to the list of employees who are left behind, then he will definitely be in big trouble later.

"Alright based on the results of this morning's meeting decision, we will be forced to lay off some employees to stabilize the company's condition, and some of those employees are...."

The dag dig dug.... 

Seriate.
