Durjana's In-law
Chapters 13. Breaking the Heart of In-Law

Hanum did hear Wardani's advice. However, he did not rush to decide something. Moreover, things that are done in a hurry will definitely not be the maximum result.

"Num, why are you quiet? Am I wrong with what I just said?" Wardani is not feeling well.

"There's nothing wrong with what you say, War. I even thank you because you have wanted to hear all my complaints so far. Sometimes I feel embarrassed to tell other people about my family problems. It feels a bit like that."

"Hemm, I'm not someone else, Num. I would be sad if I didn't know what your problem was. If I was just guessing it was also free. Aye, right? The fall I could have caused slander to my own friend."

Although Wardani cannot help materially, at least being a good listener is more than enough. Moreover, Wardani's presence further strengthens Hanum to determine his decision to continue the marriage or release him at this time.

It seems like Hanum will take the opposite decision to Wardani's advice. It was done considering the failure of his first marriage. Hanum doesn't want to get divorced a second time. A widow's life isn't the right choice for now.

For Hanum, Ismawan's figure was the man in charge. Only at this moment his mind was being controlled by his mother. Hanum should not give up so easily that he would lose.

"It looks like I'll consider your advice, War. The only problem is that I married mas Is it was not just my escape because I was divorced. Instead I remarried so that I could survive more than my previous marriage. The point is I really don't want to part with mas Is."

It was actually not wrong for Hanum to reject him. There may still be a chance to fix things. He will definitely work with all his strength.

The Kasmirah may be in Khilaf. He needs to get something that will make him aware and accept the provisions of destiny that God has outlined to him. Moreover, Ismawan's attitude is still better than Hanum's ex-husband who can not be explained in words anymore. Hence Hanum was still thinking hard to hold on.

Wardani does not know the story of Hanum's past with her ex-husband. Hanum never told me either. Maybe the story of his past has closed the book and does not want to be revealed again.

"I know that, Num. Maybe it's a bit hard to go through days like this, right? You have failed and in the shadow of your second marriage you hope things will go better. It doesn't fit your shadow, does it? It doesn't matter what your choice is. I will remain your supporter."

Right now what Hanum had in mind was to find a way to control her mother-in-law. While there is still time, Hanum wants to talk to Wardani again. It was possible that his friend could give good advice to change the whole game of destiny that had made him fall so far.

"War, do you have any advice not to let down your mother-in-law? Maybe you have some tips and tricks?"

It's a little hard to ask like that. The thing is, Wardani never faced such a mother-in-law. The woman who is now her mother-in-law is like an angel sent by God into the world. So good that Wardani never felt how cruel the attitude of in-laws if they did not like his daughter-in-law.

With that, everything will change quickly. Only with money and high positions in the company. It wasn't easy for Hanum. The dilemma is even more remarkable between working and doing her pregnancy program. It was done together without a husband.

Hanum was hungry because he told Wardani so much. Looking at the wall clock at the stall, Hanum still had a few more minutes before he came home and returned home filled with gimmicks.

"So, I have to work again, War? Is it still worth working with a dry body like this? The company will reject me immediately."

Also true. Hanum looks more like an undead figure. He looked like a person who had a disease that could never be cured. Waiting for the turn to be called back to the Almighty.

Wardani has no other idea but to ask Hanum to work. Moreover, Hanum's experience in the company can actually be used to apply in a new place.

"It's not complicated either, huh? The company must have received fresh graduates. While you have been unemployed for a long time and your age is no longer young. It's gonna be hard getting into the company, Num. The solution is that you have to have an independent business. Yes, maybe you can hone your skills to make cakes or food that you can sell. Remember that this is not as easy as a novel or movie drama that can all be achieved easily."

Hanum was standing at the crossroad. He has to think about which one to go to. To melt her mother-in-law was not easy. Even if he had to work outside the home, Kasmirah would definitely be concerned about home affairs. While her husband will definitely ban her because Hanum's goal not to work is to do a pregnancy program.

Even if you want an independent business, you need special capital and skills. Hanum is not good at making cakes or food for sale. Even if he wants to sew, he also needs a machine to support his work. It feels hard. It's harder than her mother-in-law's pressure.

"Actually I'm a dead end, War. I'm only armed with confidence, hopefully there's a way out. I want my mother-in-law to be like before. He never insulted me much less to the point of making my husband change as he is today."

"Hemm, I can only support you, Num. I can't help you materially either. What you need is not that, but faith to bring things back. I pray that everything goes as smoothly as you want. I hope this is also your last marriage, Num," Wardani said before parting ways.

I think it's enough to meet Hanum. After all, all the advice Wardani gave did not change Hanum's view of her mother-in-law at all.

Everything will change over time. Hanum doesn't know when that will happen. For sure in his belief there is always a motivation to never give up and try something that has moved from where it should be.

"I have to find a way to get things back. I have to be sure everything's gonna be okay. If I win from my mother-in-law, I will definitely support me again. I have to be strong and get up" Hanum muttered on the way home.

The confidence from Hanum's heart made him confident that what he was trying today would work. Moreover, Hanum thought about it from the heart. Hopefully help for Hanum comes from various parties. However, the Kasmirah is not actually evil, but the way it looks needs to be changed.
