Bitter Tongue In-Law

"What kind of hospital can there be an intruder and take the patient away. I don't want to know if you're responsible otherwise I'll sue you for your carelessness." Nuna was hysterically so conscious and remembered that her son had disappeared.


He still remembered that someone had turned his back and faced the child's bed when he was almost unconscious.


"Sweetly calm. Calm down, beat me up. This is a hospital, you can be considered a patient annoyance. Take it easy, please. Istighfar, learn to control emotions, okay. Deep breath, slow down, istighfar."


Nuna is on the floor. He was very afraid that he would not be able to meet the child. He was sure that the one who brought Cashel was his former father-in-law, who else had been dealing with him? So far, only Bu Ningsih has often disturbed his life.


Bian who has not been able to do anything does not necessarily make him silent. He had already contacted his friends who had connections with reliable people to solve cases like this.


"We're going to Arga's house now. Even if Cashel is not taken home, we can ask Arga for help to take Cashel from his mother."


"What's this blank, Bian? This must be both of their plans. How could Arga possibly do what you're talking about?"


"You want to cry here what's doing the moves?"

Cashel had just opened his eyes when Bu Ningsih opened the door and brought a bowl of chicken porridge that was still billowing its smoke. With a smile along the way of memories, Bu Ningsih walked over to Cashel's bed.


"You're awake? Grandma bring chicken porridge for you, let's sit down first can you, right?" Ms. Ningsih put the bowl on the table and helped Cashel to sit down.


While the child was just silent despite following Bu Ningsih's direction to sit down. He was silent as he thought about where and who he was with now. His eyes glanced at every corner of the room.


Understanding Cashel's confusion, Ms. Ningsih opened her voice, "You must be confused where is this, huh? This is Grandma's house. Your father happens to be out of town, but he'll be home soon. Dad's coming home, we're moving, yeah. You live with Grandma and Dad. We live three. Wants, right?"


Cashel shook his head, "I just want to be with Mom. Grandma why can you take me? I have no other father than Om Bian. The man who will marry my mother. I just want to stay with Mom."


"Yes, but your real father is Arga's father, Grandma's son. The one who saved you, Arga's father gave him his blood to keep you alive. Dad willingly reduced his blood, while Mom and your future Dad, what do they do other than cry for you? They didn't give her blood to you, did they? That means I love you more."


"Mother and Om Bian love me. They didn't give her blood, they were in an accident. They, too, are sick. The time of the sick give blood to me?"


"Feed food!" Bu Ningsih thrust a spoonful of porridge into Cashel's mouth. He didn't think that this kid was smart enough for a lie.


"If you don't want to eat, you'll be hungry. You are not healing. Or do you want to eat something else? Chicken or something? By the way grandma, let grandma cook."


"No, I want to go home. Mom must have found me."


"Who said? Mother who brought you here, said you also have to know Arga's father and grandmother. That's why you can be here, right? Soon you will understand who Arga's grandmother and father are. Now you're the same grandma."


"liks. I've heard that Mom never allowed Grandma to take me. I also said there's no one to take me from you."


Ms. Ningsih was anxious to get angry, but she realized that if she showed her anger in front of the child, all that happened was Cashel who would be frightened and increasingly unwilling to stay with her. What is important now is that he must be able to instigate Cashel to hate his mother and choose to live with her.


"That, right first. They said yesterday to grandma if you have to take care of you first while so you can focus on the same marriage as your parents. They don't want to be disturbed he said, later if you ask to stay with Mom now, you disturb Mother."


The innocent child was silent and thought, if he remembered the series of moments before the accident, he felt it was very unlikely if his mother and Bian thought he was a bully. If it is like that, why he is always involved in a series of events and even participate in every important moment.


"Grandma lied, yeah. I've always been invited everywhere to go with Mom and Om Bian. I was in an accident because I was out of the clothes that were worn at the party. You got it wrong, huh, same Grandma? How's grandma mean to Mom?"


"Yes, your mother is evil. She's selfish, that grandma and dad have rights over you. We're your family, too, but what's he doing? She didn't allow Grandma and Dad to meet you, it couldn't be. His name is an act of evil. It's not fair."


Cashel didn't really understand what he was hearing. Rights, criminal acts, somehow criminal acts. At a time like this, Cashel's mind suddenly floated to some time ago. The time where he asked his grandmother about the existence and form of his father, but the answer from his grandmother made him silence and no longer ask about the father.


"Daddy I'm with Mom."


"Who said that? That's a lie." Ms. Ningsih began to shed tears of falsehood that she had not let out in a long time. While Cashel was still observing the old woman who already had a lot of gray hair and wrinkles on some parts of her face.


"Your mother left us. Just because your dad doesn't have a lot of money. Your mother does not want to accept Dad. Grandma didn't think your mother turned the facts around." Bu Ningsih was sobbing as if he was an artist who was living his role.


Cashel was still silently staring at the woman who claimed to be his grandmother. Not yet he spoke, a voice heard from outside the room calling by the name 'mother'.


"That's Dad coming home. You eat the porridge, grandma go out first."
