Trapped Charm of Neighboring Wife
Chapter.26 The drama of the evil mother-in-law


"Geeh!" Liora exhaled an annoyed breath for the fourth time.


Liora is currently in front of a traditional market that Mak Onah often comes to, for shopping. The sun that has begun to blister, coupled with the noise of vehicles and people who are buying and selling makes it even more uncomfortable to be there.


All of that was even more excruciating as he walked increasingly into the market, the pungent smell of the various kinds of merchandise in every stall he passed, successfully making his stomach churn violently.


"Haish, this is really disgusting," his grunts as he passed through several places that were seen muddled by puddles of water from washing fish and meat.


Liora covered her nose using a tissue, then continued her steps towards the fishmonger's stall that Mak Onah had shown at home.


Yes, Liora is currently walking to the market alone, all of which she is willing to do in order not to make everyone suspect her. Finally he chose to give up and obey the will of Niken and Tiara's mother-in-law to buy fish directly to the market.


Fortunately, Mak Onah has their subscription fishmonger mobile number, so Liora just took it, without the headache of having to choose the type and bid again.


"Bang, want to take the fish belonging to Mak Onah," said Liora as soon as she arrived in front of the fish shop subscription Mak Onah.


The merchant who was all male looked quite surprised to see Liora who was there, especially now that Liora was no longer like the old Tiara.


Liora was so attentive to her body that she now looks beautiful even though she is just plain dressed, even without the slightest makeup. Tiara skin that initially looks dull without any other skin problems that accompany, does not take much time to recover and get healthier, until now looks supple and fresh.


After taking the fish order and paying for it, Liora immediately returned outside from the traditional market that had indirectly tortured her.


While enjoying the heat in public transportation, Liora arrived at home with dusty skin and sweaty hair, on both hands were seen two bags of crackles filled with various kinds of fish.


"Ck!" Liora clucked resentfully at the sight of Niken and her mother-in-law laughing at her, as those who were relaxing on the side porch saw her walking into the kitchen door.


"Geez, Non Tiara, let Mak clean up." Mak Onah looked worriedly at the foster child's face, then took over the plastic bags in Liora's hands.


"Hehe .. thank you, Mak," Liora said, chuckling lightly and then giving the plastic bag containing the fish to Mak Onah's hand.


However, just as she was about to return to speak to clean up, another voice intruded on her until Liora fell silent again.


"Who told you to rest? Clean up all those fish and cook for lunch! My daughter-in-law hasn't eaten yet because she's waiting for your homemade grilled fish, Tiara!" the orders of Tiara's mother-in-law were apparently following Liora into the kitchen.


"Madam, let me clean the fish, later when it's ready Non Tiara will cook." Mak Onah tried to defend Liora.


"There is no objection! Tiara, clean all the fish and cook immediately!" order the evil mother-in-law then, while looking intently at Liora's face.


Liora clenched her hands together, she almost snapped at her mother-in-law, if only she did not remember that she was now pretending to be weak, to let them off guard.


"here, Mom. Let me do it." Without even looking at Tiara's mother-in-law's face, Liora immediately asked for the fish back in Mak Onah's hands and then walked towards the sink in the kitchen to clean it.


"Hurry up, we're all hungry! And, you old lady, don't you dare to help her, or I'll make my son fire you right now!" Tiara's in-laws seemed to exclaim before finally returning outside.


Liora stared at the sinister middle-aged woman who was so annoying it was from the tip of her eyes. His hands were busy opening the plastic bag and taking out the fish that was inside.


"Ughhh!" Liora grimaced as soon as she saw the fish that was releasing mucus and smelling fishy in front of her. Fortunately, the fish was dead, so he just had to clean it.


"Non, let's make it, yeah." Mak Onah was still trying to snatch the fish in Liora's hands.


"No need, Mom, I can do it" Liora refused, smiling at the old woman. He also tried to look fine and suppressed his disgust so that Mak Onah would not worry about him.


"But, Non–"


"If Mak Onah wants to be fired and we are separated, please Mak do it yourself." Liora cut off Mak Onah's words which continued to refute her.


"No, No, Mak doesn't want to leave Non Tiara. Mak has promised Non's mother will take care of Non Tiara," said Lirih Mak Onah while shaking his head slowly.


Looking at Mak Onah's teary eyes, Liora exhaled softly then shifted her body to face Mak Onah completely. He prepared to play the role of the meek Tiara.


"Then recite me, Mother. I can do this on my own, Mak do everything else" Liora said in a softer tone of voice.


Mak Onah nodded. "If so, let Mak help prepare other cooking ingredients, Non."


Liora nodded with a smile. The two eventually share the task of preparing lunch.


.


Tiara and Niken's mother-in-law first reached the dinner table, both of them staring at all the food cooked by Liora. Then with a wicked grin they added a lot of salt in the grilled fish that Liora painstakingly cooked.


"Near! What food is this? You want to poison all of us, huh?!"


Liora who was just preparing to pick up Davi at school –after being busy struggling with the ingredients in the kitchen– was surprised by her mother-in-law's screams from the direction of the dining table.


"Ish, what the hell is going on?!" he muttered in annoyance as he walked towards the dining table.


Meanwhile behind him turned out Dery who had just come out of the workspace, following with curiosity due to the commotion in the direction of the dining table.


"What's up, Mom?" liora asked as soon as she got in front of the two extremely annoying women.


Liora could see the face full of anger of Tiara's mother-in-law and the frail and persecuted face of Niken. It seems like the two women are about to start the drama again.


"What the hell you do, just cook grilled fish can't! Time tastes really salty. You want to make this son-in-law high blood, huh?!" maki-in-law Tiara while hugging Niken who started sobbing full of sadness.


"If you don't want to make me a grilled fish, you should just talk. Don't even spoil food like this, it's a pity if this food is wasted." Niken seemed to be talking softly as if she was the most hurt victim.


"Geeh!" Liora exhaled a coarse breath while throwing her face away.


"If you don't like my cooking, don't eat it. Easy, right? Why use the most hurt drama like this? It's disgusting!" annoyed Liora, then walked away just like that.


It felt too lazy to serve the drama that kept repeating in the house, after all he was almost too late to pick up Davi at school.


"Near! What do you mean talk like that, huh?!" Dery jerked Liora's hand until she was forced to stop her steps and then turned to look at her husband's face.


"What's? I am only revealing what is in my heart. Am I wrong, my mother?" ask Liora sarcas.


"It's not appropriate for you to speak like that in front of my mother, Tiara! Where's your manners, huh?!" Dery looked at Liora with anger until her eyes turned red.


Liora smiled obliquely, she knew anything she said would never be heard by Dery. Although she tries to explain what happened to her, Dery will still defend her mother and Niken.


"Whatever you say, Mom. I have to pick up Davi, so please let go of your hand," Liora said as she began to twist her hand to escape from Dery.


However, it seemed that the man was still reluctant to let go, he still stared at Liora with his hand tightly grasping her first wife's wrist.


Liora who was already irritated and in a hurry could no longer be patient. Today his mood was completely messy as two all-out women were glaring at him from morning until noon like this.


"I said loose, yes, loose!" Liora jerked her hand until Dery's hand came off, then immediately turned around and walked quickly leaving the three infuriating people.
