For Your Mother's sake, You Betrayed Me
New Spirit

Reza went into his room to take money to give to Zahra. There was a sense of wanting to protect that appeared in his heart. After taking the money, Reza headed straight to Zahra's room to give the money away.

Right in front of the door, Reza was shocked because suddenly Zahra appeared from inside. "Astaghfirullah, I was surprised" Zahra exclaimed.

"Where are you going? It's such a rush," Reza said.

Zahra smile. "I want nyamperin Mas Reza. Want an infoin if I get accepted for work. Tomorrow's the interview" Zahra said with a smile.

"Well good, I hope your interview is good tomorrow! This is the money you need. Just save it first, you don't have to think about when to return it. Relaxing work is not too forced" Reza said with great attention.

"Thank you, I feel bad" said Zahra awkwardly.

Reza smile. "It's okay, I'm sincerely helping you. I went back to my room first. Tomorrow I'll go with me, and I'll go to the office."

Zahra nodded in agreement, after which Reza left and returned to her room. Zahra also entered the room, after which she took her phone and tried to contact Rizal. Many times trying it turns out Rizal's phone is still inactive.

"Your mom what is so busy? until you forget to call me. I want to talk something Mas" muttered Zahra in her room.

Since moving in, Rizal hasn't called his wife yet. The number is always inactive. Zahra has a guess but she doesn't want suudzon because she doesn't know the truth yet. Despite always getting bad treatment, Zahra still thinks positively of everyone.

Zahra put her phone back on, she got out of the bed and headed to the closet to find clothes suitable for her interview tomorrow. Zahra sorted out the rows of her clothes but none of them matched.

"Nobody fits, huh, how's this? There's no time to buy" Zahra murmured softly. Shortly afterwards, there was a knock on the door from outside. Zahra closed her closet and opened the door immediately.

"Zahra," said Mr. Roni, he was Zahra's father-in-law.

"Papa. Papa's home yet?" zahra cried out with a shake and kissed his father-in-law's hand.

"Yes, just arrived. This Papa is a gift for you. Hope you like it." Mr. Roni gave a paper bag to his son-in-law.

Zahra received the paper bag. "Well, thank you, Pa. Papa is very good with me," said Zahra moved. In that family, Mr. Roni was the one who was kind to Zahra. He never compared or scolded his son-in-law. Mr. Roni is just not assertive enough with his wife's cruel attitude.

"Sama-sama hope you like it! Later tonight you do not have to cook, because Papa will deliver tonight. Papa wants to have dinner with you."

"Did Mas Rizal come too, Pa?" ask Zahra.

Mr. Roni immediately smiled faintly. He pityed if he saw the fate of Zahra who was willing to be honeyed by his own son. "Rizal came, why? Did Rizal never call you?" ask Mr. Roni curious.

Zahra shook her head. "I'm just asking Pa, because today Mas Rizal's phone is off."

"Yes Rizal's two days out of town service, maybe a network problem. You will ask him again why he? Papa rest first." Mr. Roni left Zahra's room and returned to his room.

Zahra went into her room and opened the paper bag. Inside there are 2 shirts that are very fitting in size. "Well, why is it so fitting. I can use this for an interview tomorrow" Zahra said happily.

At night around seven in the evening, everyone was already preparing at the dinner table. As usual Zahra prepared all the food on the table. However, there is one problem that Rizal has not come. Zahra was a little anxious because she already missed her husband.

A few minutes later, Miss Silvi's phone rang. He immediately raised the call. "Hello honey, where have you been? Mama and Papa have been waiting for you since."

It turns out that the one who called was Viona. He said he could not attend the dinner.

"Alright, honey, Mama understands. Then yes, you be careful at home" Silvi told Viona.

"Why Ma, did Rizal not come?" ask Roni to his wife.

Bu Silvi glanced at Zahra then answered her sarcastically. " Yes Pa, Rizal is still out of town so can't come. But it's good that he doesn't come here often. So my grandson-in-law's process wasn't interrupted."

Zahra took a deep breath, she began to endure the tightness in the chest of each of her mother-in-law speaking in a satirical tone.

"After all, Papa does not want to hear inappropriate words at this dining table," exclaimed Mr. Roni to his wife. He knew his wife's character.

Dinner went on, Zahra ate quietly. Next to him was Reza who was secretly watching him. Shortly afterwards, Zahra ventured to speak. "Father, Mama, I want to say something!"

"Yes, what do you want to say Zahra?" ask Mr. Roni.

"Emm, here. Tomorrow I ask permission to attend a job interview," Zahra replied nervously.

Bu Silvi directly put down his spoon violently to make everyone shocked.

"Can't, I don't agree, you have to stay home. If you work who will clean the house later?" sahut Bu Silvi in an angry tone.

"Before work I will finish all the work first Ma," said Zahra.

Mr. Roni immediately mediated the debate. "Ma, you should support Zahra. Mama can't do anything. Zahra still has the right to vote."

"Don't listen to your mom, Zahra. You can work. Where do you want to work?"

"Zahra got a job at the Boutique, Pa," Zahra replied nervously.

"Papa support you, keep the spirit! Don't give up easily."

Zahra nodded happily finally getting permission as well. Seeing Zahra smile made Reza also smile. Reza began to have feelings for his sister-in-law.

Seeing the smiling Zahra pleased to upset Bu Silvi. He sent a message to Viona.

[Darling, tomorrow Mama wants to see you. There are important things you will talk about with me]

Miss Silvi sent her message to Viona. I don't know what he'll read. After that, dinner went on in silence. No one is chatting.

Next Morning.

Zahra woke up as usual. He took a shower after that. During the service, Zahra cleaned and helped Bi Surti who cooked in the kitchen.

"Bi, what can I do for you?" ask Zahra to Bi Surti.

"Non, mending get ready to go to work. Aunty can do it alone" said Bi Surti.

Despite the rejection from Bi Surti, Zahra still helped her work. A few hours later, the cooking was ready. Everyone downstairs for breakfast.

"Zahra you don't eat breakfast?" ask Mr. Roni.

"Yes Pa, Zahra wants to change clothes for a while" replied Zahra, after which she went upstairs to change clothes.

Zahra ran up the stairs, her steps stopped when Reza came down. Zahra greeted her brother-in-law. "Good morning, my dear."

Reza smile. "For Zahra, how come you're not ready? So go together, right?"

"Oh, this is about to change clothes. Mas Reza have breakfast first, I will follow later," replied Zahra.

"Okay, I'm waiting downstairs yeah."

After that Reza went downstairs and Zahra went into her room. Below is already Mr. Roni and also Miss Silvi who is also having breakfast.

"For Pa, Ma!" greet Reza to her parents.

"Morning" replied Mr. Roni.

"Oh yes, Za. Zahra wants to go to an interview, mending you with him if the path is one way," said Mr. Roni.

"Yes Pa, I've invited Zahra to go together."

Miss Silvi just observed the conversation between Reza and her father. He could not protest when Reza was in front of him. Bu Silvi was a little afraid that Reza had spoken let alone opposed him. A few minutes later, Zahra came down from the top in neat clothes. He wore the blues that his father-in-law bought him.

"That shirt fits you very well Zahra" exclaimed Mr. Roni praising his son-in-law.

"Why buy him a shirt? Is it not wrong?" exclaim Bu Silvi.

Zahra's smile disappeared instantly because of her mother-in-law's attitude. Reza, who saw that, was not happy.

"Zahra quickly sat down and had breakfast, we're leaving soon" Reza interrupted his mother's speech.

"Already Ma. Mama's a habit, Papa's hard to ever say that at the dinner table try to talk well."

"You are the same father as the same child. My appetite is gone for a moment." Miss Silvi put down her spoon and left the dining table.

Zahra just kept quiet, she felt bad for her father-in-law. "Sorry Pa. It's making Papa a storm with Mama."

Roni shook his head. "It's okay, once in a while it's necessary to refute his words. Papa just pity you. Papa says you're a good son-in-law, but somehow your mother is so cruel."

Zahra smiled at the attention of her father-in-law. After that, he had breakfast quickly. Fifteen minutes later, Zahra finished breakfast. He immediately cleaned up all the dishes and immediately left together with Reza.

"Zahra let's go, it's Bu Surti's job. You must come on time on the day of your interview" exclaimed Reza to her sister-in-law.

"Yes, I'll take a bag for a second." Zahra took her bag and said goodbye to her father-in-law. "Zahra go first Pa, pray I'll be accepted at the boutique."

"Yes be careful, may your interview be smooth yes," replied Mr. Roni.

Then Zahra went with Reza. Miss Silvi watched her daughter-in-law from the balcony. His face was very upset because Zahra got a defense from her husband and stepson.

"Based on the fox woman, how dare you seek attention in this house. Just watch out I won't let this happen. I have to meet Viona, lest the fox woman calm down in this house" muttered Bu Silvi from the balcony.

Bu Silvi went straight into the room after seeing Zahra who had left. He wants to go to Viona's house to discuss Zahra's attitude. Bu Silvi took her bag then she prepared to leave.

Roni asked his wife. "Where are you going Ma? Very early in the morning?"

"You go to my daughter-in-law's house, it's already pissing me off in the morning" Miss Silvi replied in a sullen tone.

Mr. Roni took a deep breath, he was really confused about the character of his wife. Miss Silvi left by taxi, it only took her twenty minutes to get to Viona's house.

Arriving there, Miss Silvi immediately went down and entered the house of her favorite daughter-in-law. Viona was outside.

"Honey, early in the morning have been diligent," said Bu Silvi to his daughter-in-law.

"Yes Ma, this is just watering the flowers just for busyness because Rizal has not reached home. What's the matter, Ma?" Viona asked her mother-in-law.

Miss Silvi sat down on the chair and answered her daughter-in-law's question. "Look, Zahra's doing something at home. He stole your Papa's attention and Reza's with his plain pretentious face. You know, Vio, Mama's really upset. Especially now that he will work, because Mama deliberately confiscated his monthly money. Looks like Rizal doesn't know about this yet, maybe he hasn't complained to Rizal."

Viona smiled cynically. "Of course he can't contact Rizal Ma, because I told Rizal not to contact him. Lagian Rizal is also very busy, I rarely call Rizal, Ma."

"It's good that the fox woman has no chance to contact Rizal. Baby, you know. The mother was suspicious of Reza, her attitude was very strange at home. The boy was secretly paying attention to Zahra. Mama thinks she's putting feelings on her sister-in-law."

Bu Silvi's words made Viona's face happy. "Good dong Ma, let Reza get close to Zahra. So we don't have to be tired of looking for a strategy to get rid of the woman. Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Miss Silvi fell silent she tried to digest her daughter-in-law's speech. "You're right, honey. Mama is relieved now, indeed you are the smartest daughter-in-law. I can't wait for the next scene."

"Yes, you just need to listen, and do small things to decorate it so that it is not boring." Viona kept provoking her mother-in-law. He's even more cunning than Miss Silvi.

"Yes, Mama will follow your way like this. Looks like it'll be very effective if we do it secretly."

"Sure dong Ma. Rizal is mine, Ma. Not that stupid woman" Viona said sarcastically.

"How Dear? Are there any signs you're pregnant?"

"It looks like Ma, I'm late for the moon. But I haven't seen the doctor, I'm waiting for Rizal to come home. Hopefully the results are positive," said Viona by stroking her stomach is still flat.

"Definitely Honey, Mama is very sure that you must be pregnant. I can't wait for my grandson to be born. You must take care of your health, do not be too tired. Okay!"

"Yes Ma, I will definitely take care of the health for the sake of my beloved granddaughter."

Miss Silvi was very happy to hear from Viona. He was already completely obsessed, so did something bad to Zahra.
