Bitter Tongue In-Law
73.

Of the many weeks that have passed, Bian still has no room and gap to give Nuna the spaciousness to allow the child and Father to meet. As said before, there is no intention to side with either of them let alone harm one side. Really he had no intention to do so, only he wanted all peace, he wanted Nuna to live quietly too.

Yes, since Arga came a few weeks ago, Nuna's life is not calm again. He's a little paranoid about Cashel's security. Bian has explained many times that he does not need to worry much less afraid of Arga or Bu Ningsih snatching the little boy from him.

This morning a couple would fit a wedding dress, deliberately they care about anything on holiday so that Cashel also participated in the process of the big event of his mother. The three humans stopped stepping towards the car when Bu Ningsih came rushing in at her no longer young age.

"Nuna, you being a woman does not know yourself, yes. Arga wants to see his son if you do not permit him. Who do you think you are? No Arga you won't have Cashel. You don't know yourself." Ms. Ningsih had not even arrived in front of Nuna, but the old woman was already shouting and successfully distracted the neighbors who were outside the house.

Nuna took a deep breath and took it out quickly. He tried not to get emotional this time.

"Mom sure Cashel is Arga's son? Who said the kid I was carrying Bian's son who? Who used to slander my cheap women who?  Everything in me is cheap. Then why does Mom demand something attached to me? Cashel was born from my womb, a woman that Mom hated for no reason." There is no high note in Nuna's sentence. Everything he said was slow, yet full of pressure. Enough to present a relaxed but painful sentence is enough to make Bu Ningsih dead fleas.

Ms. Ningsih was silent a thousand languages, a sentence from Nuna sekan slapped her cheek without a touch. He was a little embarrassed as his eyeballs wandered around. He realized that there were some neighbors of Nuna who witnessed the drama between the former daughter-in-law and the old woman.

"Bare you fight me, yeah. Want me to have anything wrong will not change if Cashel is my grandson. Me and Arga have a right to this child."

"Honestly, I'm so tired of Arga's right to Cashel. I know that, but unfortunately I don't want to give him the right. Especially give Mother the right. Sorry, until anytime I will not give a piece of your rights to my child. You're not ashamed to talk like that in front of me? Don't think I forgot what Mom gave me during my time as Mom's daughter-in-law. Because my mother did not get my rights as a wife. So don't expect me not to do the same as Mom did. Respond to what's wrong with you before you ask for rights."

Ms. Ningsih raised her hand and almost threw out a slap. However, not until the old woman's hand reached Nuna's cheek, her hand was already strangled by Bian. The man with his net looked at Bu Ningsih.

"I've been deliberately silent to hear you cursing my future wife. Because I respect you as a woman and a parent. But you need to know, I never allowed anyone to touch my future wife let alone with rough hands."

Bu Ningsih pulled his hand rough. A check from Bian that was quite tight apparently hurt the old woman's wrist.

The woman who was after her granddaughter smiled cunningly, "Oh, both criminals are united to denounce my son. Let's see who wins. Let's see who's in the lead role of the drama you're making. Laugh as long as you can, once I make you shed tears, you will forever lose your laughter." Bu Ningsih stared intently at Nuna and Bian.

That sharp gaze turned warm as Bu Ningsih circulated a gaze towards Cashel.

"Sweet boy, next time we'll meet again, yeah. You must not know me yet. I am your Grandma...."

"Cashel, get in the car!" pinta Nuna is firm.

The little boy obeyed his mother's orders. He was a little afraid of his mother who he had never seen. The stare of decisiveness mixed with anger was obvious and it was frightening for Cashel.

"Based on women don't know manners."

"If I don't have manners, I've dragged my mother away without giving her a chance to wear me. Besides, if Mom says I don't have manners, what do I call Mom?" Nuna still spoke in a relaxed tone.

The response and selection of words spoken by Nuna really amazed Bian. He is proud to see his wife who can protect herself, unlike the previous who looks strong even though she is weak. Now he has seen his future wife is already strong inside. He can be a shield to himself without much help from others.

"I swear to avenge your actions today Nuna!"

"I'm waiting, Mom. Whenever I am ready. Let us see, the hand of God that works first or the hand of Mother. Come, Honey. We have to go to the boutique for fittings, right? We should not waste time here, wedding preparations that you make luxury must be prepared quickly. Thank you for making the wedding the way I wanted."

The words from Nuna made Bu Ningsih hot. Moreover, the gurgle shown by the woman was very seen mocking him.

While Bian is only able to be confused, hearing the affectionate call from Nuna makes it look like he is not treading the land. A screech from Nuna's tiny hand finally resuscitated Bian's daydream.

"What did you call me?" Bian asked after he entered and closed the car door.

"No re-broadcast."

"Jabber for me, broadcast it once more. I promise I won't ask for it anymore" whined Bian towards Nuna.

The woman simply held back a smile as if she had forgotten what had happened just now. His mind grew worried and anxious as if he had forgotten for a moment.

"You may ask every day."

"Yes did. Why the hell was it going around?"

"Mom, when are you guys talking? It's been a noon hunt. I can't wait to try on a double suit like Om."

The sentence from Cashel made the two surprised and moved away from each other.
