The Neglected Angel
Chapter 28. With Mama-in-Law
Chapter 28
The interrogation room was now noisy by the sound of Tarisa's crying. The woman kept her mouth shut and insisted she would not tell him who told her to.
"Add the maggots again into the container box!" andromeda Letah.
Tarisa who was very scared was just screaming when the maggots who had reached the foot were still added. Although many dead maggots have been trampled by Tarisa's feet.
"No! I beg you not to. I can't tell you because my life and that of my family are threatened" Tarisa said.
Andromeda thought that the person who had told Tarisa was a person who had a strong influence or had great abilities. To the extent that the woman who was crying in front of him was adamant not to talk.
"If you don't want to tell me who that person is, I'll find out for myself. Be prepared to go to jail on an uninhabited island. Uh, rather the inhabitants of the island are international class criminals whose crimes are not questioned anymore" Andromeda said.
Tarisa widened her eyes. Sweat as big as corn kernels was seen wetting that wide forehead.
"Sir, I beg you. Forgive me, me!" pinta big busty woman.
"The choice is in your hands. Just so you know, if I'm not the kind of person who likes bullshit. Don't think that prison is a lie. Forever you will not be able to get out of the island," the killer lecturer said.
Like the simalakama fruit, whatever choice he chooses will all harm him. However, if he was honest and said everything he did, then that person would also be dragged along.
"A–pa Ba–pak will protect and keep me from that person, if I say honestly?" ask Tarisa.
"Depends on how accurate and correct the information you provide. If there is one secret, we will not protect you when that person wants to avenge your heartache for your betrayal of him. If you are honest, most given a light punishment," answered Andromeda who now stands so high that Tarisa had to raise her face.
"Well, I'll say everything I know without hiding a single thing" Tarisa continued.

Aisyah underwent activities on her campus with great enthusiasm. Moreover, he had already started compiling the thesis. If, usually, her days are spent with Tarisa and Renata, now she is with Fatimah and Angela. Also some of the first-classmates at the business school.
"Aisha, you are getting more beautiful" Fatimah praised sincerely and honestly.
"Yes. Is it because soon you will marry your ustadz fiancee?" ask Angela.
The smile that had been gracing Aisyah's sad face since last night, was now gone. His heart ached when he remembered his failed candidate for priest. In a small corner of her heart, she wished she could love her husband the way she loved her former fiance.
"Alhamdulillah. Then, didn't I look pretty?" ask Aisyah jokingly.
"Of course you were beautiful. But now that beauty is growing" replied Fatimah.
Angela also confirmed the words of her friend. The three women laughed together, then discussed things related to their thesis work.
"Eh, today Renata and Tarisa are not in college?" ask Fatimah curiously.
There was no word from Renata and Tarisa. When Aisyah asked Andromeda for permission to visit her two friends' house, she forbade him and told him to go home quickly, because Mama Venus was waiting at home.

Aisyah smiled when she saw her mother-in-law was busy arranging the groceries in the refrigerator. The woman quietly approached to surprise the woman who was already pregnant and gave birth to Andromeda.
"Mama!" Aisyah hugged Mama Venus from behind.
"Astaghfirullahal. Aisyah, don't surprise your mom in such a way! How about your mom's heart pops out" grumbled Mama Venus.
"God's Insha, it won't happen, Ma. It's God's artificial heart" Aisha replied.
The cheerful nature of Aisyah has now returned. He could already accept the fate that befell him. As much as possible he will learn to be sincere, patient, and grateful for his current situation.
"Boy, you, yeah! It looks like Andromeda has caught you" said Mama Venus.
"meaning?" aisha did not understand.
"He talks a lot. Not like a statue anymore" Mama Venus replied and made the two laugh.
Andromeda asked her mother to come quickly to her house before Aisyah came home. The reason he asked was so that Aisyah would not be lonely when alone at home. Though from the beginning they married the first child was never told to accompany his wife.
"Make salmon pepes for you, Aisyah. It was going to make spicy salmon balado, but Andro forbid cooking spicy for you," said Mama Venus while putting a plate containing banana leaf bundles.
The smell of the food made his stomach sound. Looks like the worms in the stomach he was protesting to immediately taste the food of the mother-in-law.
Aisyah was banned from the kitchen by Mama Venus and told to rest in the room. The middle-aged woman did not want her daughter-in-law and future granddaughter to be sick from exhaustion.
Aisyah felt very happy because, her husband is now very attentive to her. Even the food menu for everyday in the supervision of Andromeda. The man wants all the nutrition of Aisyah and their future child to be well fulfilled.
"Ma, that's delicious. Aisyah also wants to be able to cook well like this. Let's cook food for the Aisyah family later," said the pregnant woman.
"Can. But, Andro is better at cooking than Mama, you know! This is also mama learning from him," I'm Mama Venus laughing.
The father-in-law and son-in-law had dinner together while talking about many things. Mostly about the advice of Mama Venus about pregnancy.
"Ma, it's late, why hasn't Mas Andro come home yet, huh? Usually at 5 pm already at home," asked Aisyah when she saw the clock on the wall had shown at 8 pm.

Where did Andromeda go? What about Renata and Tarisa? Wait for it to go, yeah!
