Son-in-law Unwanted
Chapter 2 The Slander of In-Law

Candra and Melinda flinched after hearing Rosa's voice. They distanced their bodies from each other with a canticle.

"Mas, I open the door first" said Melinda.

Before opening the door Melinda took a deep breath. He knew the arrival of the in-laws must have had certain intentions. Sure enough after the door was opened, the owner of the cold sniffle face immediately barged inside.

"Son, how did you get Cici home, right?" asked Rosa with an anxious face.

Candra rubbed the mother's shoulders, "Mama just calm down Cici's home."

"You're a really good boy. Did Mama bother you?" Rosa acted as if she was guilty of her arrival.

While Melinda was still at the door, she walked over to her husband and in-laws. At first glance Melinda saw the nyalang gaze of the in-law.

"Son, Ma." Candra commented with a smile, "but our intention is to put Mama's grandchild on hold."

Rosa chuckled amusedly at the honesty of the child and pulled Melinda's hand which was now beside her, "Mel, you will not delay for a moment. Mama's habit before going to bed chat first with Candra. Mama's not used to getting rid of that habit."

Melinda glanced at Candra for an opinion from her husband, though in her heart she did not want to allow him to postpone their first night for just a few hours.

After getting a nod from her husband Melinda said, "Yes Ma, nothing."

"Thank you, you're Mama's best daughter-in-law. Don't get it wrong Candra chose you," praises Rosa.

Melinda was astonished, the attitude that since one month ago again showed her in-laws, then what was the meaning of before this? So many questions in Melinda's mind only she can slightly conclude if now the in-laws must be playing a show.

"If Candra takes a shower first. Mama can talk to Meli." Candra gives advice that instantly gets a nod from the two women of different generations.

After Candra entered the bathroom, Rosa immediately threw away the rough hand Melinda had held since, completely disgusted.

"Mama" called out to Melinda who was surprised.

"What's? You wish I really wanted you! Don't hope!" Rosa said sniffly as she walked towards the side of the bed. His old finger instantly ruffled the rose petals that were sown on the bed.

Melinda wanted to stop what her in-laws were doing, but if that happened, it was certain that the problem would get bigger. She chose silence, seeing only what Rosa did with her wedding bed.

Although his heart ached, but he would try to understand the in-laws, who was just a misunderstanding. The corner of his heart prayed, that Rosa would accept him with an open heart as the daughter-in-law of this family.

Byrrs ...

One handful of rose petals was thrown right on the face of Mayu Melinda. He who was still trying to organize his heart and gather a lot of patient stock was surprised and raised his face.

"Why? You mad? Want to fight like that?" cecar Rosa with a satirical tone. Seeing Melinda's bulging eyes, he should be able to make the girl his son marries show his rotten nature, until finally he painstakingly instigates, Candra will divorce Melinda.

"No, Ma. I'm sorry I was so tired of getting carried away by emotions. Although Mama has not accepted me as a daughter-in-law, I will try to be the best" Melinda said with a forced smile.

Rosa is upset by Melinda's clever answer. Want to be the best daughter-in-law? Until Rosa dies, she will not. His hatred for Melinda was ingrained.

Melinda tried to continue to be patient even though the corner of her heart was back in pain, "Ma, just tell me what I have to do so Mama can accept me. Rice has become porridge, Mama also does not want me to part with Mas Candra. So either way we're gonna stay in one house."

"You want to know how?"

Hearing that sentence Melinda innocently nodded.

A wide grin rises on the red-brick lips. In the next minute Rosa immediately pulled the sheets that were still neatly arranged, before long hugging the sheets while sitting on the tiles.

"Meli, I'm sorry, dear Mama. Mama didn't mean to interrupt your first night. Mama really can't get rid of the habits you used to do with Candra." Rosa makes a sound with high intonation not long after a few minutes she let out a sobbing.

As Rosa expected, Candra who was in the bathroom heard Rosa's voice. The athletic man came out with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"What's this?" Candra's resolute voice rang out in every corner of the room making Rosa faintly pull the corners of her lips while Melinda was like a fool.

"Son, it's Mama's fault. Your wife was right Mama shouldn't bother you. Mama's guilty of destroying your bed, but Ma ... Mama accidentally and made Meli angry. Ma ... Mama apologizes, Mama is stupid, Mama is old not so understanding of your situation is young," explained Rosa with a tone made as sad as possible.

Candra herself still does not believe much in what her mother said. It was just that he saw tears falling from the corner of those old eyes his heart was like it was pinching.

"Mas ... Mom, I can clear. It's not what you thought, it was Mama—"

Uncompleted Melinda spoke to Candra immediately interjected, "I think you're tired, you better take a shower and clean your makeup. I'll accompany Mama first."

"But, Mas. I can explain all this." Melinda.

However, all seems free, Rosa who does not want the child influenced by Melinda he again voiced. "Mama has all explained. Mama was wrong, Mel. Mama's sorry, Mama's wrong."

"Mrs ... Why Mama—"

"Meli enough! Now you follow what I say!" Candra immediately took a change of clothes did not take long she finished wearing it and took Rosa out of the room.

Before actually exiting the room Rosa published a triumphant smile.

While Melinda, her body was slowly collapsing, her brain was completely unable to digest the incident just now.

"Why is it all like this?" Melinda wondered.

In the past Melinda hoped to have in-laws that she could make friends as well as mothers to connect for her. But in fact, hope is hope. Rosa who he had assumed could accept turned out to hate him on the grounds not the daughter-in-law criteria.

Does his fate have to be this bad? Melinda cried inwardly, the hope of being welcomed in the new family was actually greeted with the flag of war, the hope to be loved in fact he was not wanted.

In her tears now Melinda remembered the figure of the father who loved her so much. If the father knew the situation in this family how the man who is now suffering from TB disease?

"No Meli, you can't just give up. What if you know about this and become a burden. Dad always wants you to be happy" muttered Melinda trying to get up and motivate herself.

Melinda strengthened herself she wanted to wait for her husband to explain the matter that happened. However, the time continued to pass the husband did not go into the room, in the end drowsiness attacked, Melinda was asleep.
