The Antagonist

The Antagonist
The Return of the In-Law


A middle-aged woman who still looks easy from her age, got off the plane with an elegant look and branded goods that she wears.


He flicked his hands, lowered his round hat again to ward off the stinging sunlight. Seen lined with two large suitcases beside him.


“I don't like the air here the least, the heat and crushes.” His eyes swept across the area, looking for his picker. “Mamang, where the hell?” He began to be impatient and reached into a limited edition bag to find a cellphone.


“Mana as well, anyway. It was reported an hour ago.” Dumel the woman fiddled with her phone.


Not long after his phone rang indicating there was an incoming call, he immediately shifted the green button.


“Mama is already at the airport. Where are you, Yu?” tanyanya immediately flocked the youngest child.


Across there Ayu looks grimacing, “Oh sorry, Ma. I can not pick up, because there are still school activities.” Widya looks angry, she has been waiting here for a long time.


“Mama call Abi aja yes, or I'll just tell you to pick up mama.” Said the girl looking for a solution, Widya looks to be blinking lips.


“All sir Mamang just pick up mama.”


“But mah, Mr. Mamang permission to go home. His wife is sick.” Tell Ayu, their driver did take a day off. “Or mom order a taxi, yes ..”


Widya shook her head at her son's proposal, there was no way a lady Bhaskara would take a taxi. In addition to complicated, of course, he feels prestige, especially if there are socialite friends who see want to put where his face. Widya would not ask Abhimanyu to pick her up.


“Ah, this is all because of Indra.” The grunt that I don't know how many times. She had invited her husband to come home together, but work was always her priority. And Widya's return this time also because of the arisan event that will be done at the home of one of her friends in Indo. Widya will not miss it, she is very good at keeping the good name that she has built with difficulty. His absence will be the lips of his friends.


At Bhaskara Group Abhimanyu company just got the news of his mother's return. The man immediately saved the job and called the assistant.


“Mrs home? Why not inform early, I will prepare the office driver to pick him up.” Confused Alex, Abhimanyu shrugged his shoulders not knowing. They walk together down from the company lobby, with Abhimanyu in a wheelchair and Alex pushing him.


“Abi ..” Abhimanyu turned his head and found his wife running towards him, behind which was seen Elis following.


The man in the wheelchair widened his lips, giving a sweet smile to his wife. Some employees were flabbergasted, only this time they saw the smile of his superior. They quickly looked down not when Alex's sharp gaze was unsheathed.


“Where to go, I brought lunch.” Nayla showed me a series of meals. He gives it to Alex and takes over pushing the Abhimanyu wheelchair.


Elis and Alex meet. However, Alex immediately shifted his gaze.


The woman in black clothes frowned, not usually Alex happened like that. He will see a gentle gaze full of excitement when he meets her. But no problem, he felt benefited because of this. Alex's gaze and his efforts to always approach her made her feel uncomfortable.


Alex himself held back the turmoil of his heart, as if someone was fighting inside there. His memory was again drawn to the events of that night, meeting a little boy, and he decided to act as usual, as if nothing had happened.


“Fetch mama.” Abimayu answered, tilting her face back to look at Nayla.


“Mama, home?” Nayla looked surprised. She decided to follow her husband to pick him up.


The car that Elis and Alex were driving stopped at their destination. Alex and Nayla help Abhimanyu to get down and move in his wheelchair, they are indeed one car that Alex drives.


“Mama don't want to know, just fire Mr. Mamang.” Cerocos Widya was not when Abhimanyu's entourage approached him. He walked elegantly, leaving both of his suitcases now changing hands to Alex and Elis.


Abhimanyu frowned, “Why, Mah? Mamang sir's feeling of not making a mistake,” Nayla nodded in agreement.


“Not done anything wrong?! Mama has been waiting here for a long time, and Mr. Mamang is good to take a leave of absence.”


“Wife sir Mamang is sick,” Abhimanyu defended the driver of his family, Widya waved her hands looking unconcerned. According to him, the driver was incompetent.


“Mama ride that car? Don't want to be with us?” tanya Nayla sees her in-laws heading to her car driven by Elis, where Widya's belongings are loaded as well.


“Ya, Mama will ride with this new helper.” Widya got into the car quickly, lowering her hat to cover her face. The middle-aged woman looked troubled.


“He is not a helper.” Nayla. However, it was not heard by his father-in-law. Widya immediately boarded the passenger seat without waiting for Nayla or Abhimanyu's response, let alone Elis.


Nayla looked at Elis, she felt bad about Widya's words just now. To be honest, he already considered Elis a part brother. The figure of a brother who has always been his protector, as well as a friend who accompanies him anywhere and anytime.


Elis looked back at Nayla with a calming look, he gave a brief smile and entered the car and was ready for the steering wheel.


Abhimanyu also felt bad, but how else, that was his mother. Their car drove to Bhaskara's residence.


Widya lowered her sunglasses, and sighed. Hopefully one of his social friends did not see him. Otherwise, he would be very embarrassed. Especially with Abimayu.


It was enough he got a joke because Abhimanyu was disabled at the previous meeting.


Elis heard Widya's breathing several times. But he seems not to care. His eyes focused on the slightly congested streets, probably due to lunchtime.


In the evening everything arrived at the dinner table, and now they are waiting for Widya.


“Maybe mom forgot that we had dinner together.” The eating habits at the dinner table were just applied, in addition to the family who rarely get together also because Widya and Indra always decide to eat out with acquaintances or not in the room to do something. While both Abhimanyu and Ayu always eat in their respective rooms.


“By the day I told mama.” Ayu said. Abhimanyu saw the second floor, the appearance of his mother was never seen to make the look of the man's face change.


Nayla grabbed Abhimanyu's hand under the table, then clasped it. Abhimanyu turned his head and found the wife's shady smile.


“I think my mom forgot, I went call me deh.” Ayu already wanted to stand up from her chair, but Widya was seen coming down the stairs. He joined the dining table. Nayla stood up, began to serve her husband. Widya observes all of that.


“How? You're pregnant, Nayla?” The woman who was scooping the vegetables froze immediately.


“You guys ‘kan are married.” Furthermore, it makes Nayla not wince. Because in his previous life, he was sentenced to be barren by a doctor. And that's what makes him unable to fight against all the insults from both Barra and Maya in his past life.
