Durjana's In-law
Chapters 16. Marriage Permission Again

The next day, Hanum was quieter. In the recovery period, he had to fight against his illness. He also had to condition his heart to be fine. But he's not really good either. However, for the sake of his health, Hanum tried to make peace with the circumstances.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Ismawan.

"No need, Mom. The hospital also provided food. You're quite here I'm already grinning."

Ismawan rarely sleeps in the hospital. His demanding job he can't fully look after his wife, but Hanum's understanding makes him even calmer.

The other with Hanum. He was still thinking about the words of his mother-in-law who asked him to seduce Ismawan to want to marry again.

"Num, why are you quiet? What are you thinking?"

A lot of people were spoiled in Hanum's mind. Starting from healing, pregnancy programs, hospital fees, mother-in-law's speech, and the most sad is to persuade her husband to marry again. Which woman could do all this to destroy her own home?

"Much, Mas."

"Say me, Num. Who knows I can help you."

"A lot of it, Mas. You wouldn't be strong if you were me, Mas" murmured Hanum.

"Num, why silence again?" asked Ismawan before Hanum expressed his grief.

"Mas, this is about you and Ayu. I know it's very difficult for me and our family, Mas. I just want you to be honest with me about your relationship with Ayu. How far have you gone, my mother?"

Ismawan also knew that Ayu was a candidate wife who his mother had submitted before. However, because Ismawan chose Hanum, he rejected the girl of his mother's choice. The more here, Ayu's charm and mother's support make Ismawan look good. So far there has been no absolute decision from Ismawan or from Ayu. So, everything is still going normally.

"There's nothing to do with it, Num. Just mother asked me to get closer and get to know Ayu even more. He was the candidate that my mother had arranged for me. You know that I met Ayu recently when mom asked her to come home. The rest I never met him. So, if you ask me how far I've got with Ayu, there's nothing special, Num. Only a mother who was too confident told me to get married again."

Hanum knows that too. Ismawan refused an arranged marriage to marry Hanum. However, the fact that the more here her in-laws made a gap in their marriage.

Hearing Ismawan's reply, Hanum should be pleased. However, he remained doubtful as Ismawan's words were also doubtful. Which man rejected the charm of a young girl like Ayu.

Ismawan can read his mind. Of course he doubted. At times Hanum heard her husband refuse, but on the other hand Kasmirah tried to convince her son to remarry. Even Kasmirah no longer hesitated to ask Hanum for help to convince her husband to accept the girl as his wife.

"Let's teach me if I doubt. You know I am sick now. Moreover, mother continues to corner me so that you want to marry Ayu. He said he'd get a grandchild quickly and someone would help me out at home."

Given the current condition of Hanum is very unlikely to carry out a pregnancy program. Doctors have also suggested that Hanum recover and return to his normal state. Only then can the doctor recommend a pregnancy program with her husband.

The explanation of the doctor at that time that made Ismawan in his dilemma. She did not want to part from Hanum, but also could not completely ignore her mother. Ismawan also believes in the role of destiny. If he had not been married to Ayu, it would never have happened.

"Then, are you ready?"

Ismawan's one question made Hanum speechless. What does her husband's question mean? Was Ismawan like his mother? Maybe he has also decided to agree to marry, but has not expressed his intentions directly to the wife?

"If I remarry, at least I won't get dizzy. Hanum must have helped take care of the house. In addition, Hanum's healing time will be faster. Did I just say that I am willing to marry Ayu, but wait for Hanum's decision? Honestly, I am also sad to be in a position like this. The problem is that mom will keep messing with my life until Ayu really comes in and changes everything. Will Hanum allow it? What if he doesn't agree? I will definitely make a fuss again," murmured Ismawan looking fixedly at his wife's face.

They are in each other's dilemma. It is not that easy to parse the word agree to put honey into his household. Living with your parents-in-law is like having honey. Especially until Ismawan actually married Ayu.

"Mas, which woman would you like to be combined? Neither I nor Ayu would. Try asking mom, would you like to be combined?"

Same complicated questions and answers. Moreover, Ismawan had never been in such a position, but he faced his mother and his wife as well as having two wives. He is in a difficult position. Want to follow his own will, but contrary to his mother.

"I can't answer, Num. It's hard, but you should also know that my position is difficult. I'm confused about myself. On the other hand, I want to focus on you and our little family. However, from my mother's side forced me to remarry with Ayu. Do you understand the reason for what? I want to have a grandchild soon, but until now we have not had children. Mom was hesitant about the end result of our marriage, so she asked me to marry again. If for example I remarry, would you agree?"

This conversation is indeed very sensitive, but Ismawan must still get the answer. Her mother may change her decision unilaterally. For this reason, Ismawan needs permission from Hanum.

"Mas, you're not being a playful, dong! You should be able to be strict with mom. If it's like this, what can I do? Should I allow you to marry again? You also know the answer, Mom. That mother needs your firmness, not my decision. Do you hurt me, Mom?" Hanum's question was very interesting.

"Just like, Num. Mother asked me to ask permission from you to get married again. Then, what can I do now besides having to ask permission from you. The point is, what are you ngizinin?"

Again Ismawan asked. However, Hanum could not answer anything. He also did not give a rejection, but did not approve.
