"Mother Neli my wife."
"Yes. But wife on paper."
Yess. It hurts so much. Even Neli closed his eyes, to enjoy the taste that stopped at him.
Neli also bowed his face not interested at all to raise his head. This is his fault, yes his own fault because he had dared to nudge the family dressed up like the family of the Emperor. Neli should have thought a few times before committing the foolish act of ensnaring the Emperor in his marriage.
"Besides that, I don't want to take any chances if this woman goes up and down the stairs Neli could fall, I don't want my mother's future grandchildren to do anything so just obey your mother." Dian looked at her son full of warning, as usual from the old woman's gaze explained that she did not want to be denied.
"If so I will move into the guest room to accompany Neli Bu." concluded the Emperor, he did not want to look helpless before Neli. The Emperor was stubborn even with his father. But when faced with his mother he needed to think several times to oppose the greatest woman in his life. Even the Emperor wanted a perfect wife like his mother. That was also the reason the Emperor had always rejected Neli in the past.
His mother's father did not mind that the Emperor was friends or close to anyone, but the Emperor knew that his mother would act out of reason if those who approached the Emperor harmed their family.
"Stay in your room." her mother said firmly.
"But. Ma'am"
"Don't argue with your mother." The Emperor only kept silent occasionally looking towards Neli.
"Neli come. Soon dinner, you're pregnant you should eat early. And you Emperor go take a bath first. Neli let me accompany the meal" Neli was a little able to breathe a sigh of relief at least her in-laws were not as cruel as the flying fish movie that forbade her from eating and told her to work non-stop.
The emperor obeyed his mother's orders. Soon his father and guests from Dubai will be home and they will have dinner together as planned a few days ago.
"Eat a lot, make my grandson a healthy baby. You can't do any work, just enjoy your pregnancy don't think about anything else." Neli's mother-in-law said flatly without the slightest ripple on her groomed face.
Neli just nodded. Lost is already the courage that always sticks to him.
Not that Neli is afraid of her mother-in-law, only that Neli is maintaining the image to be a good daughter-in-law, although she does not know until when it will last.
"Don't expect too much of my son."
The sentence managed to make Neli clenched his mouth that was already open to enter the food. The food that almost stopped in his mouth he put back.
"I mean mother?"
"I gave my blessing and my permission to marry you just because I didn't want my granddaughter to be born an illegitimate child. Despite the fact that my granddaughter should have a cheap mother like you." The cynical smile she lay on her bright red lips.
Neli felt his chest like he was pierced by a dagger. This was the fruit of his sin in the past so that it made him continue to feel guilty. But in addition Neli refused to admit if he was cheap because as far as before the Emperor dared him he was still in the holy world.
One thing Neli realized was that the spicy and painful sentence that the Emperor had always used on her was a descendant of her mother-in-law.
"Mom please watch mom's sentence. Don't let me think bad or worse if I'm stressed or mentally disturbed, the impact will not be good for the mother's grandchild." Finally Neli opened her voice, venturing to keep her mental in order to stay sane.
