Durjana's In-law
Chapters 20. Life's Burden

Ismawan's anger is not over. After delivering his mother into the room and after getting her damper ointment, Ismawan went into his own room. He was still silent in his anger.

After repeatedly fighting against his feelings, Ismawan immediately took a stand. Her mother's decision was not wrong because she was always with Hanum. Although Ismawan could not be separated from Hanum, but because of today's events he decided something unilaterally.

"Num, I want to talk to you seriously. I think there's a point in my mother's advice for me. The more you get here, you start to ignore home affairs. I purposely put you with mom so that someone can help you, not make you wretched."

"Mas, what do you mean? I told you from the beginning that I didn't say anything about Mom. He's not careful, man."

"Mother is right that Ayu is the best solution to all of our problems, Num. I'm going to marry Ayu. With or without your consent."

Hanum was surprised. The problem comes in a row. He tried to prevent it too. Should I use any other way now? Nothing can be used as a shield anymore. Hanum must try to prevent the marriage.

"You're the same with me, Mom. Don't you know how your mother treated me all this time? I thought with me silent, you could read the situation. The truth is you don't even care about me, Mom. Regarding today's mother, don't make it an excuse to remarry Ayu. Think about our family situation, Mum!"

Precisely because Ismawan has thought carefully. That's why he made such a decision. Moreover, Hanum's condition is still not recovered properly. Plus, his mother is sick. It won't be easy going through the days with legs like that. Ismawan needs Ayu to take care of his mother.

"Instead Ayu is the solution, Num."

Solution from where? It's like a pawnshop motto that 'addresses problems without problems'. Instead Ayu even became a solution to add to the problem.

For Hanum, Ayu is a threat. She also had to think about the fate of her marriage later on. Although there are no plans to divorce Ismawan, sooner or later the young wife will master everything. Moreover, the proximity of Ayu and Kasmirah will be a threat to the continuity of his relationship with Ismawan.

"So, would you like to put another woman in this house? Mas wants to make Ayu as a mother nurse under the pretext of marriage and make Ayu my madu. You're getting a great day, Mom. Solving the problem alone is still not able to, but even want to add a new burden. Did you forget that all this time our marriage was controlled by our mother. Why do you keep following his silly advice. If you need someone to take care of you, just call a nurse."

Ismawan was thinking about his wife's words. He's confused too. On the other hand Hanum was a woman who did not want to be let go. He also did not want to hurt his mother. Then Ismawan decided on the middle way. In fact, it is also not the solution referred to in his marriage.

"How else do you empathize, Mas? So, with the pain of our marriage, is that also called empathy? I have been silent for a long time. It's been a long time, but you never know. I've given up on my mom to do all this housework. Do you also care about my eating, my rest, and my happiness, Mas? Did it ever occur to you that we were looking for that rented house to stay away from mom? No, Mas. Instead I ask you to stay apart from mother huh in anticipation of this matter. All day long you must be sick of me, but you never understand. Two women in one house with different thoughts that have made runyam. Now you want to add more. Please, Mas! Please!"

Ismawan is getting cornered. The problem this time is that we will not find a way out. All of them get sick at the same time. Hanum obviously can't take care of himself and his mother. Inevitably, Ismawan must oppose Hanum's remarks this time. It was done for the sake of the survival of this house to keep running as before.

"No way, Num. I'll still marry Ayu. That was the end of my decision. Don't you ban me anymore. Agree or not, it won't be an influence."

Hanum took a deep breath. There was no point in talking to a man who had already gained direct influence from his mother-in-law.

"Then you have to decide, Mom. So don't be selfish! If you really want to marry Ayu, then let go of me! Fair enough, isn't it? You can live happily with mom and Ayu too. I don't need to be a stumbling block, do I? You don't have to marry Siri either. You can make Ayu your only wife. How's it?"

Ismawan was silent. Hanum did not want to be pitted, but Ismawan also did not want to be chased by his mother to marry again. Therefore, Ayu will be married in the near future. At least to relieve the desire of his mother who is too hot.

"I can't divorce you, Num. You are the woman I chose. Whatever the circumstances, don't ever say separate."

"You're selfish, Mom! You are happy that one wife is like that. You're overwhelmed, right? Not to mention the will of the mother. Later you will also call Ayu. Is your salary a lot, my friend? How do I not know, huh?"

Ismawan was silent again. He often took overtime for his mother and his wife. If added Ayu, obviously the need for this house is increasing. Not to mention the wedding later. It definitely needs a handover and dowry. It's not cheap either. Just a few days ago, Ismawan paid for his wife's hospital.

"If you want to continue to marry Ayu, please Mas. I won't stop it anymore, but that doesn't mean I give you consent, yeah. If you want to increase the burden of life, about Mas. If you are not strong, not only lose your job, you will be more stressed because the inhabitants of this house increase. In addition, the mouths of three women will make you more dizzy. Just try it if you want to know what it's like" Hanum added.

Actually the reason Hanum scared her husband is that Ismawan rethinks his stupid plan. If you are talking about Kasmirah, you can go to the hospital. Let the doctor do the outpatient. After all, it is not too severe if you have to hospitalize everything.

"One more, Mommy. Maybe you need to hear these words so that your memory of me gets stronger. Happy for one wife is dizzy. Do you want to increase the burden of life again by adding one wife?" hanum said then laughed inwardly.
