In-laws Vs Son-in-law
Chapter 12

Since last night, Kania and Kris have been tidying up their things. The plan was that they would only bring half the goods. The rest, they will leave.

Every now and then, they would come to visit the house. That was what Kania and Kris thought. Kris came out of the room with the box in her hand.

"Where are you going, son?" asked Madam Tama who met her on the stairs.

"We decided to move house, Ma," replied Kris calmly.

Madam Tama froze at the son's reply. Kris immediately continued his steps towards the waiting car.

Kania, who had just come out of the room, was surprised to see her mother-in-law approaching. One powerful slap landed on Kania's cheek. A sense of heat spread across his right cheek.

"Ma!" yelled Kris who just came back.

The man approached his wife and raised Kania's face. Kris' hand was raised and rubbed the wife's reddened cheeks.

"Why, Mama, slap Kania?" kris asked in a high voice.

"Did he ask you to move out of here? Did he say something that vilified my mother?" pekik Mrs Tama.

"At least Kania never complained about the treatment, Mama. Don't think I don't know what I've done, Mama did to my wife. I know all!" kris explained.

Instantly, Madam Tama gasped. His gaze was fixed on Kania. Looking at the sharp gaze of her mother-in-law, Kania was only able to bow her head inward. Chris pulled his wife into his arms.

Kris immediately took Kania out. Madam Tama just stared blankly at the backs of the two.

Kris and Kania arrive at the house they are about to occupy. The smile on Kania's face, showed how happy she was. During the trip, there were many questions that perched in Kania's mind.

However, the woman did not question her husband in the least. And so is Kris. They actually talk about trivial things that have nothing to do with the incident.

"You don't want to ask anything?" ask Kris.

They just finished putting their clothes in the closet. Kania looked into Kris' eyes deeply. The silence began to sink his heart.

"What did you mean to Mom?" ask Kania. He just wanted to know, did Kris really know everything that happened to him in the house, or did he just guess?

"I know the covenant issue between you and mama. I also know how your mother's attitude is to you." Kris began to tell, from where he knew the agreement made by his mother.

Apparently, he found a letter that Kania had not signed at that time. Seeing that, he realized that the mother had not given her full blessing. Since then, Kris began preparing a house for them to occupy.

"So .. You know everything?" Tears of Kania began to drip.

Kris pulled his wife back into his arms. Many times he kissed the top of the head of the wife. In fact, Kris apologized to Kania.

"I'm sorry I didn't stand up for you. Honestly, I was disappointed in my mother's attitude. But, to keep pretending not to know is a difficult thing for me" said Kris.

"I'm sorry too, Yang. Supposedly, I can hold on until mama approves of us" Kania said in between sobs.

"It's not your fault, honey." Chris tried to calm his wife.

While at the residence of Mrs Tama, the woman was sitting quietly staring at a large photo in the family room. It was a wedding photo of Kris and Kania. I don't know what Mrs Tama is thinking right now.

Some servants who saw that, could only wait for orders from their master. Suddenly, they were startled by the shards of vases slammed by Madam Tama, accompanied by her screams.

"Gosh, it seems like the madam is very angry," whispered one of the maids.

"Sstt, we'd better not get close to it. If he calls us, then we come closer" said another servant.

They also disbanded. They are looking for safety for now.

One week passed, Kris felt Kania was much happier than before. Kania's face looks brighter. Moreover, now the wife already has a job that she loves so much.

During their several months of living with her mother, Kris knew she was reducing her filming schedule. In fact, some jobs were canceled.

"I'm glad to see you're more cheerful now" Kris said.

His hands stretched out tidying the wife's hair. Kania smiled in response to the husband's words. They are currently having breakfast together.

Chris seemed to think before answering. "There was. But not for long. Here, the last part" he answered later.

"I'll stop by, right?" ask Kania again.

"By dong, darling." Kris shuffled Kania's hair.

After breakfast, Kania and Kris are ready to do their activities. Outside, neither Dirga nor Wahyu, Kris's manager, had been waiting.

"Mas Dirga, be careful on the road, yeah. If there's anything, call me right away" Kris asked Dirga, the wife's manager.

"Ready, Boss," replied Dirga.

"Yang, I walk first, yes," said Kania. He kissed the back of Kris's hand.

Not to forget, Kris kissed the wife's forehead gently. "Be careful. I also left, yes," said Kris to his wife.

Kania nodded her head and smiled. The two split up in the courtyard.

During the day, Kania activities are completed first. The beautiful woman was feeling very unwell. Since morning, he felt his stomach was not good.

"Lo sure, don't want to see a doctor?" bargain Dirga.

"No need, Mas. I think I'm relapsing, huh." Kania squeezes her stomach which feels wrapped around.

"Once you're pregnant" Dirga said later.

Kania chuckles. "Where is possible, Mommy. My man is menstruating again, really," Kania argued.

Dirga rounded his lips in response. "So, you want to go straight home, right?" ask Dirga make sure.

Kania nodded her head. Dirga immediately drove the car to the residence of Kania and Kris. Thirty minutes away, Kania used to close his eyes.

When the car arrives at the yard, Dirga wakes up Kania. Slowly, the woman opened her eyes.

"Sampe, yes," said Kania.

Dahi Kania frowned when she saw a car parked in front of her house. He knows who the owner of the car is.

"Mama," muttered Kania.

"A long way away, it's still diaperin. Wonder me."Dirga looked annoyed at the car.

"Yes, I went in first, yeah, Mom." Kania immediately opened the door and entered the house.

As soon as he opened the door, it was clear that Madam Tama's smile was evident. Unknowingly, Kania gulped her coarse salivation.

"Ma," said Kania.

"I'm not your mother!" snapped Madam Tama in a low tone.

"Sorry, Madam," Kania repeated.

"When, ma'am, until? Why not tell me first?" cecar Kania's.

"Can't I see my son? After all, Kris is still my son!"

Kania simply smiled wryly, responding to Madam Tama's remark. Before long, another car entered the yard. Kania knew, it was her husband's car.

"Mama's sorry. Mama knows she did you wrong. Can't you and Kris see you? Mama feels lonely without you guys" said Mrs Kris suddenly.

Instantly, Kania did not understand what was happening. In fact, her mother-in-law was already crying bitterly.

"Ma," call Kris.

The man approached his mother who was kneeling at Kania's feet. What other drama is this? inner Kania.
