Durjana's In-law
Chapter 26. Start with Zero

Wanting a child is the right of every married couple. If his mother does not allow him to leave the house with the threat of divorce, Ismawan must be able to fight it. Maybe there is a point if the wife for a while lived separately from her mother.

"Num, after I think about it, it's good that you live somewhere else."

"Mas, what do you mean?" Hanum.

"For a while you should get out of this house. You can stay in a boarding house or maybe your close relatives."

"I'm alone, Mom? Then, what about you? Are you gonna survive here, Mom? How can we do a pregnancy program if we stay apart?"

Hanum always obeyed whatever her husband asked. But this time he couldn't accept it.

"Pacify yourself, Num. We can't just leave Mom, can we? Well, I'll try to be with you. Maybe I can say goodbye to overtime or play with a friend's house, but I'll come to your place."

What kind of marriage is this? Her husband was even more afraid than about his own marriage. This solution is quite difficult, but there is no harm in trying.

"Alright, Mas. Only if until you change from our main goal, I'm sorry to rethink our marriage. I could have filed a divorce lawsuit without waiting for you, Mas. If until you also follow Mother's plan to marry Ayu and you marry her, you better disband, Mas."

Ismawan also asserted that he would not do neko-neko. After having a chance to talk, Ismawan met Kasmirah behind the house enjoying the fresh air.

"Mom, Is wants to talk."

"There's especially? Are you guys gonna get out of my house? Just go ahead."

"No, Ma. Is wants to take Hanum to stay at his relatives' house. It just so happens that there are relatives who live alone and need a girlfriend. So, Is will take her first. Mom's okay, right?"

Kasmirah did not know which relatives were meant. However, he did not take a headache as long as it was not Ismawan who came out of his house. Let it be if Hanum chooses to stay out there. It was much better because Ismawan needed Ayu.

"Leave it as long as you're still in this house. Mom doesn't have a problem. If he wants to go, go ahead."

So relieved. At least Hanum came out of this house not because he was kicked out by his mother. Ismawan immediately met Hanum and delivered the happy news.

"Num, I'll let you."

For whatever reason, Hanum is very happy. However, there are other obstacles. What if they don't get a boarding place?

"Mas, where should I stay?" Hanum was confused.

"I'll find a boarding house not far from where I work. At least let me not go too far when I visit you."

"Alright, Mas. I'll pack now."

"Don't bring too flashy clothes. I'll be suspicious of our plans."

Finally, Hanum only brought a few pieces of clothes. It was also put in her husband's backpack. In addition, he also brought some food that he had bought yesterday.

After everything was ready, Ismawan asked Hanum to say goodbye to his mother. At least for a while they were apart. It would be much safer than the two of them to often fight like that.

"Mom, Hanum wants to stay at the relatives' house for a few days."

Hanum wanted to run away and go back to his room. Her mother-in-law was completely uncompromising at all. It wants to win by itself and is annoying.

Ismawan as soon as possible held Hanum back from retreating. Ismawan tries to make it out of the house.

"Mom, Is was also immediately saying goodbye. Is today in the afternoon, want anther Hanum used to new to the factory."

After experiencing the Kasmirah hand, they immediately went somewhere. Where the place has been recommended by Ismawan friends who are both workers at the factory.

Ismawan who sent a message to him to find a boarding place that is standard price, but can be occupied by married couples.

A boarding house lined up there. Each room has full facilities. There is one bedroom, a small living room model Lesehan, kitchen, prayer place, and bathroom. Not too broad, but the arrangement of each room is fitting and suitable for married couples.

"How much is it per month?" ask Ismawan to the owner.

"Four hundred thousand, Mas. The token will fill itself, yes. It's in front of each room."

Hanum. Indeed, the class of boarding rooms with complete facilities is quite expensive. However, it was the only boarding place that was worthy of them. Hanum can also focus on preparing food if her husband wants to bring provisions or eat there.

"Good, Mom. Me and my wife take this one." Ismawan took his wallet and took out 4 hundred thousand pieces of money.

"I accept yes, Mum. Do not forget to deposit a photocopy of KTP and KK. Sorry, it's nothing, yeah. At least we know who's staying at this boarding house."

"Yes, Mom. I'll hand it over after some of our stuff comes in. Or if not tomorrow because I also have to go to work in the plywood factory, ma'am."

"Good, Mas. Hopefully at home. I live first, yeah."

Hanum has been silent since. Four hundred thousand money turned out to be very high nominal to pay for a place to live for the next month.

"Mas, our money's dwindling again, yeah."

"It's okay, Num. Sooner than a month we'll be staying here. I hope you're at home if I stay at work."

"Yes, Mas. Thank you, yeah."

"Either. Come on, let's get this backpack in."

Seeing the room was comfortable too. In addition, the bathroom and kitchen are also very well maintained. Perhaps the most difficult is cooking equipment. Although there is a stove, LPG and other cooking equipment also need to buy.

"Num, it's still incomplete. While you can buy food outside, yes. I saw there was a rice vendor in front."

"It's okay, Mom. At least you gave me a chance to live independently and not depend on Mom."

"You also do not get jealous if for example I often sleep at home. Mom must have realized she needs you too. I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy."

It felt so good to get out of her mother-in-law's house. In this new place, Hanum really had to start from zero. He also had to be more patient again until the line two that awaited was coming soon. May her decision to move this be safe from the intrusion of anyone, especially her mother-in-law.
