In-laws Vs Son-in-law
Chapter 16

Sadness still lingered on Kania's face. Even though he was asleep, Dirga could still see him. The man gave a rough breath. From the very beginning of knowing this woman, Dirga very rarely saw her smile, except when acting.

Happiness seems to not want to approach him. Even though he was happy, all of that was only momentarily felt. When Kania is getting married, Dirga is the one who wishes him the most happiness.

The ringing of the cell phone resuscitated Dirga from his daydream. The man chose to leave the room. Chris' name was there.

"What's wrong?" ketus tanyanya. "Before I tell you about Kania's whereabouts, can we meet first?"

Dirga disconnected his call. He went back to the room, to just stare at Kania. Then, grab the jeans hanging behind the door. Not to forget, he took the car keys from the drawer.

Kris sat in front of Dirga. They met at Kris and Kania's house. For a moment, the two men simply fell silent to each other.

"Where is Kania?" kris asked to start the conversation.

Instead of answering, Dirga grabbed onto Kris's shirt and looked at her sharply. "Lo still cares, or pretends to care?" hissing Dirga.

Kris pulled Dirga's hand which was clutching her collar. "What do you mean talk like that? It was inappropriate for outsiders to interfere in our domestic affairs" Kris said.

"Oh, do you think? So, is it because you're her husband, that you have the right to insult her?" squealing Dirga.

Aware of his mistake, Kris sat in silence. He can't avoid that. Dirga smiled cynically seeing Kris not warting.

"Why? Can't you answer? You only know in a matter of months. Whether you really love Kania or not, only Lo knows. In fact, you can't even protect him from stumbling Lo!" Dirga continued

"Think carefully! Do you really love Kania, or just messing around!" Dirga immediately left the house. He did not even say goodbye to the owner of the house.

After Dirga's departure, Kris just sat there pensively. He woke up when his phone rang. Her mother's name appeared there.

"Yes, Ma" replied Kris. "I can't go there now." Kris went back to listening. "Ma! Crystal it's not my responsibility. I saw him enough yesterday. After all, I have a wife to watch out for."

Not wanting to hear the mother's talk, Kris cut off the unilateral call. In any case, Mrs Tama complained of being annoyed when her call was severed unilaterally by Kris.

"It's all because of that damn woman! I should have gotten rid of him in the first place!" furious Mrs Tama.

He held his phone tightly. Then he called someone back. Several times he tried, but only the annoyance he got.

"****! He turned off his phone! Just look, I won't let him stay in my family any longer!" Madam Tama also left from there.

Kania woke up from her sleep. He tried to stretch his stiff body. I don't know how long he slept. His eyes stared at the clock hanging on the wall.

"It's three o'clock. My stomach is hungry" muttered Kania.

The woman also got out of bed. He's headed to the kitchen. There, Dirga was preparing Kania's favorite food. With sparkling eyes, Kania sat down to join his manager.

"You must have laper, right?" guess Dirga.

Kania nodded her head. He took a piece of shrimp with his fingers. However, Dirga hit the fingers, until the shrimp fell back into the plate.

"Mas Dirga!" pekik Kania's. He pursed his lips.

"Ih, Dirga mas, do not know how fun eating shrimp without a spoon. Moreover, the air is this big," said Kania.

Back, Kania took the shrimp and directly devoured it. The look of the face is so enjoyed, it looks clear.

"Pake rice, let it be full!" Dirga sniffed the rice onto the plate. Then, put it in front of Kania.

"Thank you, Mas," said Kania happily.

Without a sense of hesitation, Kania devoured all available food. These few months, Kania followed the tastes of Kris and her in-laws. He forgot, if by enjoying his favorite food, he could enjoy his life a little.

"Lo's not planning on going home?" dirga asked as soon as Kania finished eating and washing the dishes.

Kania dried her hands with a cloth that was near the sink. Then, he stepped up and joined Dirga again in the living room chair.

"Mas, push me, okay?" asked Kania with a sad face. "This is the only place Kris doesn't know. If I go back to the apartment, she'll find me, for sure" he continued.

"He's not gonna start lo. Just relax!" Dirga patted Kania on the shoulder.

"Where are you, Mom, you know?" Kania squinted her eyes.

Looking at the suspicious Kania, Dirga pretends to be busy with her phone. Every now and then, he glanced at the woman with the tail of his eyes. Unfortunately, Kania kept looking at him sharply.

"OK! I found him this afternoon. Go on, I'm maki-maki him!" honest Dirga.

Kania breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you because, Mom, it's on my side. Mom, don't even stand up for me. I'm lucky to have Mas Dirga. If only, I was my brother. Surely I will be happy," said Kania teary-eyed.

"Not to mellow! Are you going to the apartment or go home? Let me anterin." Dirga deliberately spoils the moment of novelty between them.

"Basic of mood-damaging!" maki Kania's. "I want to go home. I think I need to sort this out as soon as possible. Whatever's gonna happen, I'm gonna have to deal with it, right?" Kania smiled at Dirga.

"Good girl" praised Dirga. The man also rattled Kania's long hair. "Come, I'll take you!" bargain Dirga.

Nod Kania's head as the answer. Dirga immediately took the car keys and his jacket. Then, they immediately headed for the car. Forty-five minutes later, they arrived at Kania and Kris' house.

"Lo's sure?" Seeing Kania nod her head, Dirga continued, "If there's anything, call me immediately. I'm ready to help you!"

"Yes, Mas. Thanks, yes," said Kania.

He went down and stepped into the house. Dirga, keep watching until Kania enters the house.

Kania looked at Kris who was supporting her face with her palms. He approached the husband and patted Kris on the shoulder gently. Instantly, Kris looked.

"I'm sorry, honey," said Kris, who hugged his wife tightly.

Kris even cried. Before long, the man let go of his hug and rested at Kania's feet.

"Mas, what are you, anyway?" kania was surprised.

"I'm aware of my mistake. Please give me a chance to change. I promise, yesterday's events won't happen again." Kris kissed the back of Kania's hand repeatedly.

"Promise? Well, then, I want you to stay away from Crystal, and no longer be in touch with her, except while working. Can you?"
