In-laws Vs Son-in-law
Chapter 17

The sound of lightning rang outside. The light of lightning soared in the sky. Making a quiet atmosphere created between Kris and Kania. The two looked into the eyes of their interlocutors.

Looking at the residence of the husband, Kania also sighed deeply. "It looks like you won't be able to fulfill my request. Then I'll choose to retreat."

Kania stood up and left the living room. Just as he passed Kris, the man clasped his wife's wrist. Making Kania stop her steps.

"I'll do it" Kris said solemnly. Kris also looked into Kania's eyes.

It was obvious in the eyes of the man. Kania pulled on her wrist that Kris was holding.

"I need proof. Not just a word." He continued his steps to the guest room.

"I'll prove it!" shouted Kris.

***

A few days passed. Kris really no longer found Crystal. Kania even had to thicken her ears, as the in-laws scolded her because Kris never came to the hospital again.

Knowing that reality, does not necessarily make Kania calm. He could meet Crystal someday.

"Honey," call Kris who sees Kania coming out of the room.

The man approached his wife and led her to sit in the dining room. Seen, various kinds of dishes served there. In fact, there is a menu that Kania really likes.

"Come, we'll have breakfast!" take Kris.

Kania looked at Kris for a moment. The face of this man in front of him, looked even more gaunt. Since their quarrel a few days ago, Kania was no longer taking care of the needs of her husband. In fact, they did not sleep in the same room. Chris tried to understand. He knew that Kania needed time to calm down.

Reflexes, Kania's outstretched hand picked up a side dish for Kris. Seeing the attention the wife showed, Kris smiled slightly. This kind of attention, was enough to make him smile happily.

Kania does it because she feels guilty. After eating breakfast, Kris immediately cleaned up the dirty dishes. Kania immediately snatched the plate from Kris' hand.

"Let me alone" said Kania flatly. There was no expression on the woman's face.

"alright. Thank you, dear," said Kris as gently as possible.

Kania did not reply to that remark. He just kept walking towards the sink. A few minutes later, Kania had already completed her task. He intends to find fresh air by surrounding the complex.

"Where are you going, honey?" asked Kris who saw Kania outside. The man even chased his wife to the front door.

"Walk for a while. Chopped at home," replied Kania.

"I'm coming!" exclaim Kris. Both go hand in hand.

***

The sun began to rise, as Kania and Kris returned home. As they walked around, Kania simply stared around, without asking Kris to speak. Meanwhile, Kris always invited him to talk.

He told me about his first experience of acting. How he experienced the ups and downs, until finally getting success. Unfortunately, Kania never responded.

Just the facial expression he showed. Sometimes he raises his eyebrows, rounds his lips, or just nods his head. But, Christmas did not bother him.

"Dear," call Kris.

Kania stopped his steps and looked over. Kris smiled sweetly at him. Seeing the husband's smile, Kania felt that Kris was planning something.

Kania's heart beat quickly to hear the husband's request. To be honest, he also wanted the presence of a baby in their midst. However, considering how the mother-in-law disliked her, made Kania rethink the matter.

Looking at the residence of the wife, Kris approached her and clasped Kania's hand. "I know, my mom hasn't fully accepted you as my wife. Therefore, I hope that with the presence of our child later, mama can accept you completely."

What Kris expected was not wrong. Many cases in a marriage, where the son-in-law and in-laws do not get along with each other. However, when the daughter-in-law gave birth to her granddaughter, their relationship got better.

Kania thought the same thing. Could it be true? Can the presence of their son improve his relationship with Mrs Tama? To be honest, Kania was expecting the same.

"Having a child is not easy, Kris. You know, if I get pregnant, then automatically all my work should stop. Will my mother be able to accept me?" ask Kania. "Ah, wrong! Supposedly, I asked, do you know why your mother didn't accept me first."

Kris frowned hearing all of Kania's words. As if thinking hard the reason the mother rejected his wife. In an attitude, Kania is polite, kind, and compassionate

"There's no way your mom can look at your background" Kris said.

Cynical smile Kania showed. "Unfortunately, that's what your mom thought. Moreover, I am just an artist from the ordinary and not famous circles. Apparently, he's afraid I'm just doing pansos."

"Other story, if you're with Crystal," Kania continued.

"What does all this have to do with him?" kris asked with a frown.

"You don't know, if mom's planning on getting you guys together."

Kris' face turned in shock. Kania felt, if Kris really did not know the original character of her biological mother, including the arranged plan. The woman continued her steps towards the room.

"Even if your words are true, wouldn't it hurt to try this way? Mama's probably gonna change her mind and accept you, right?" Chris was a little screaming. Kania has reached the guest room.

The Kania movement stopped. His hand that will pull the doorknob he did not continuekaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa He took a deep breath, then greeted him slowly.

"What if the presence of children also does not melt the heart of the mother?" ask Kania.

"We haven't tried it yet, honey. Can't we think positively?" Chris looked begging.

"I'll think about it" replied Kania.

He also went into the room. Kris could only stare at Kania's back, which slowly disappeared behind the door.

"Hopefully, you'll approve of my idea" Kris murmured.

***

After thinking about her husband's words all day, Kania decided to give it a try. To be honest, I expected the same thing with Chris. Why am I not pregnant yet, huh? ask Kania in my heart.

Kania decided to see a doctor first. For some reason, bad thoughts flashed through his mind. He was afraid if he could not have children. Then, it will be used as an excuse by her mother-in-law for them to divorce.

"No, no! I can't think like that" he told himself.

He took a few deep breaths and slowly stopped him. Hopefully, all of that can reduce the fear in his heart.

The next day, Kania came to the hospital. He went to poly obgyn, to ensure his fertility. Without realizing it, someone saw his presence there.

"Cania! Why did he go to the obstetrician? Is she ... pregnant?"
