Durjana's In-law
Chapters 14. Mother-in-law Support

How does it feel to be alone without a husband or mother-in-law? It hurts a lot more than not having friends. That was what Hanum was currently feeling.

Hanum tried to think of a new venture. She also had time to look for job vacancies in between her busy work taking care of the entire household and her husband and in-laws. However, not a single job was found. He looked like he had lost before the war.

Wanting to open an independent business, Hanum has no experience. Especially before he was just a worker at a company that can only be an admin only. Cooking is not her skill. Especially sewing or other skills. In addition to not being able to, Hanum also struggled with business capital problems.

"If it's like this, can I get up?" muttered Hanum.

Hanum tried to get up from his slump. She struggles to take her father-in-law's heart, but Kasmirah breaks her too deeply.

Surprise after surprise received by Hanum from his father-in-law is not in the form of support, but the goal to unite Ismawan with Ayu increasingly intense. No matter what, there was Hanum in front of him.

"Is, how's your relationship with Ayu?" kasmirah asked in front of Hanum and Ismawan.

"What is this mother talking about? Ayu and I have nothing. Huh, Mom. Don't force me to approach her again" Ismawan said before Hanum.

At that time, Hanum knew that her husband had agreed to have a relationship with the young girl. He looked much younger than Hanum is today.

"Mom, please don't keep putting my husband under pressure. To this day, I am still Mom's daughter-in-law. So, please don't put a third person in our household" Hanum added.

It was Kasmirah who became the third person in her son's household. Not only that, Kasmirah blatantly showed his dislike for Hanum in the presence of Ismawan.

Kasmirah doesn't care. Whatever Hanum said was considered a mere scum. As long as he becomes a completely unfavorable son-in-law, Kasmirah will continue to support Ismawan to remarry. Let Hanum live in his own suffering.

"Who are you, mother? It's up to mom dong. Want to tell Ismawan to do it, yes like mom! Who is the one who is unemployed who can not love anything? If you can get pregnant, at least I have hope. In fact, until now you have not been pregnant as well, right? I was tired of hearing the neighbors' questions. When do you have a grandchild? Do you know if your presence in this house has caused a lot of problems? Many people think you are pregnant!" clearly Kasmirah with his mouth like he was muttering.

Kasmirah no longer hesitated to scold Hanum in front of her own husband. Ismawan wanted to break up the commotion, but was soon prevented by his mother.

"Is, you don't interfere with my mother's affairs with Hanum. The truth is like that. Hanum is still wrong, after all!" kasmirah.

Ismawan was actually pitying, but he did not have any strength. Hanum is not pregnant until now.

"Mother, please talk about this carefully. Poor Hanum. We also don't know when we can have children. We have also worked on it" said Ismawan.

Kasmirah where to care. Moreover, Ismawan had dared to defend Hanum before him. That means absolutely no respect for Kasmirah as her mother. Kasmirah was upset and scolded him.

What solution does Kasmirah mean? Ismawan actually could not, but he was also desperate.

"What does Mom mean?" ask Ismawan.

"Ju is young. His uterus must be healthy. It can be fertilized easily. Once you marry her, you can have children soon. I support you a hundred percent if you want to marry Ayu."

It hurts so much to be Hanum. Moreover, Ismawan's intention to marry Ayu has received support from his mother. While Hanum, she must try to endure her heartache in order to survive her marriage.

"Hanum is healthy too, ma'am. Please give us a chance" Hanum said in self-defense. Don't let her marriage break down because her husband is getting married again.

"If you are healthy, make sure you can give grandchildren to your mother! Don't just make false promises. If Ismawan does not want to marry Ayu, mother will get out of this house! Remember that Ayu is the mother's choice girl. He will carry on the descendants of this family. Want it or not, you have to take it, Is!" kasmirah said without giving any gap at all to the integrity of her son's household.

"Yes, Mom. It's up to Mom. As long as Mom is happy. Whatever Is going to do for Mom," Ismawan said to surprise Hanum.

"Mas, what are you doing? So, you agree with Mom's request to remarry? This is not a solution, Mom. New problems again we will definitely face," said Hanum sadly. He didn't expect his life to be like this. Her husband even prefers to approve her mother's words.

"Already, Num. Maybe there's no harm in us listening to you."

Again Hanum's heart was broken by her husband. As if all the words of his mother-in-law were considered as support so that Ismawan could marry again.

"Well, I'm glad you agreed, Is. Ayu will be the only mother-in-law who can love as many grandchildren as possible. About Hanum, it's up to you later. The important thing is that I thank you for listening to my advice. Thank you, Is. May your plan to marry Ayu be no obstacle from any direction. Don't you try to thwart this plan!" kasmirah to Hanum.

Hanum is completely destroyed. Surviving pain, letting go is hard. It is possible that by expressing his objections, Kasmirah could understand that.

"Mom, give Hanum a month. Please don't do anything before I'm actually pregnant. If in a month's time Hanum is not worthy to be mother's daughter-in-law, then it's up to Mom." Hanum no longer knew what to behave like.

"Wait without certainty. Come on, Num, don't block my mother's plan to marry Ismawan to Ayu. After that, you will not be chasing your grandchildren. Accept what your husband's decision is. Lagian Is also agreed. Isn't that right, Is?"

Ismawan. Although this is a crazy idea, but there is no harm in trying to commit to his new marriage later. His mother who encouraged Ismawan believed that Ayu could give offspring to his family.

"Mas, you are Istighfar. Please don't do anything before we try again" Hanum said.

"Udahlah, Num. This is also Mother's plan for our good" Ismawan said without caring about his wife's feelings.
