Durjana's In-law
Chapter 21. Keep Ayu

Ismawan said nothing more. In fact, he had hurt his wife all along. It should have been more thoughtful of Hanum and explained that his relationship with Ayu was not worth continuing.

"Udahlah, Mommy. You've changed a lot now. I just want to wait for you to file for divorce. If you still want to continue your second marriage, just let me give up."

Ismawan did not respond. In fact, he did not want to divorce Hanum. He had to think of the right way to talk to his mother.

When getting the opportunity, as soon as possible Ismawan will convey it. Like today, Kasmirah went to the hospital for treatment. However, he did not want to be delivered to his daughter-in-law. He wanted Ayu to deliver, but the request was immediately rejected by Ismawan.

"Mom, I was there. So, there's no way we're taking Ayu. What do people say later? Please, I understand my position."

"You should have married, Is. So, conditions like this are not a problem. You keep on procrastinating."

Ismawan actually deliberately buy time so as not to marry Ayu. In fact, Kasmirah kept reminding them to get married.

After seeing the doctor, it turned out that Kasmirah had to be patient for a few more weeks. Such wounds are getting more and more days will start to dry up. It is also already helped with the doctor's medication and some of the recommended ointments.

"Do you have to control often, Doctor?" ask Ismawan.

"Wait for the cure to run out or if something serious, some kind of complication or whatever it is. Maybe also when you feel uncomfortable so you need a doctor's treatment, please go ahead."

"Thank you, Doctor. So far it has been better than before" said Kasmirah.

Before returning home, Ismawan and Kasmirah stopped by the pharmacy to wait for medicine. It was there that Ismawan began to make his point.

"Mom, can you cancel Is's wedding plans with Ayu?"

Kasmirah who was waiting for the medicine then turned to his son. He wanted to get angry, but being in a public place made Kasmirah hold him back first.

"Mom think you've started to get influenced by Hanum. If you can make sure you have children with Hanum, I make sure there is no marriage with Ayu. However, if you can't be sure, I'll still marry you to Ayu."

"Mom, if that's the case, Is does know. Is also not a God who can ensure all the conditions on the face of this earth. Please ma'am give Is a chance to fight with Hanum. There are no women as good as Hanum in this world" Ismawan said with compassion.

Kasmirah no longer answered him because one of the pharmacists in charge of calling him. Ismawan should have advanced, but because he was upset was forced to go forward alone.

Arriving at home, the new Kasmirah will express its annoyance. However, before that he had time to see a woman who had already visited his house.

"Who are you?" ask Kasmirah.

"He's my friend, Mom," said Hanum who had just come out of his room carrying a bag full of several clothes.

"Num, where are you going?" ask Ismawan.

Yes, Wardani who is an old friend of Hanum suggested that his friend go on vacation for a while. At least until the problems at her in-laws' house subsided.

"Num, what the fuck are you? Who will get my work clothes? Who will take care of our room? Mom's still sick. Ayu can't be here either. Especially there is no you. The fall will be slander, Num. Please don't go, yeah."

Just wanted to leave Ismawan objected to living alone. So willing to challenge things added wife of all. It is not a sadinah mawadah warahmah household anymore, but it is a battleground for old wives and young wives. Let her mother-in-law be in a dilemma if her child cannot be separated from Hanum.

"Sorry, Mas. I'm a friend of Hanum's. I'm Wardani. Not that I meant interfering with your household, but Hanum did ask me to pick him up. If there is a problem to be solved, it is better to solve it first. Otherwise, let Hanum temporarily calm down so that the recovery time is faster," Wardani said.

Kasmirah looks like a fool. While Hanum saw the remains on her husband's face. It was as if they were treating Hanum like that. So today there is no harm in giving valuable lessons to live away from his son-in-law.

"Udahlah, Is. Let him go. You're also getting married to Ayu, right?" ask Kasmirah.

That made Wardani surprised. How much Hanum has suffered. However, when his gaze was fixed on his close friend, Wardani could already predict that Hanum could not be underestimated. He began to rise from his fall.

"Mom, we talked about that, right? Ismawan has not wanted to because he asked Mom to give us a chance. Come on, ma'am, don't keep us in trouble."

Wardani glanced at Hanum. His face was also already much better than his meeting a while ago before Hanum got into the hospital.

"There's no second chance, Is. Mom gave me a chance the other day. To date there are no results. So, don't expect me to cancel the wedding. Can't!" Kasmirah then left the three men.

Hanum also remained on his stance. If she didn't go, how would she know that her husband was serious.

"Mas, you better take care of mom first. I'll calm my mind. Please don't stop me this time, yes," Hanum said asking for permission.

"Hem, I can't make your decision this time. Come back soon."

It's not that easy, Ismawan! Going for something and coming back should also be conditional. It's good to use ask for a quick return.

"Can't be like that, Mom. I'll be back when you can convince mom to cancel her plan. If you fail, there are only two choices, Mom. Remember, yeah. Just two."

Without any explanation, Wardani could understand it. It seemed like Hanum's threat to her husband had already hit so Ismawan looked like a dazed man.

"Yes, Num. I'll try. Don't forget to keep me informed, yeah."

Hanum and Wardani get out of the house. While Ismawan sat languidly in the living room chair. He looked out for some time after Hanum's departure. Kasmirah went out again to see Ismawan.

"What's wrong with you, Is? Upset at Hanum's abandonment, huh? You don't worry because mom asked Ayu to come. It's a good chance for the continuation of your relationship with Ayu."

"Udahlah, Ma. Enough's enough! Come on again, Ayu again. If Is loses Hanum, I don't know Mom. Is probably not going to be able to survive this far. Please keep Ayu away from the household life Is, Mom."
