In-laws Vs Son-in-law
Chapter 18

Helaan breathed a sigh of relief Kania exhaled from her tiny lips after hearing the Doctor's words. With a carefree feeling, he stepped into his car. Just as he entered, the ringing of the mobile phone distracted him. Her mother-in-law's name was there.

"Yes, ma'am," said Kania after the call.

For a moment, he just silently listened. A few minutes later, the woman stared at her phone. The call has been cut off. Then, Kania turned the car key and stopped it.

Kania drove her car out of the hospital. "Where did he know I was going to the hospital?" ask Kania to herself.

He was busy with his own mind until he did not realize, if the car he was driving had entered the courtyard of the Tama family home. His eyes stared at the gamang of the house that stood gallantly in front of him.

After a few minutes, Kania got out of the car and stepped in. Seen in the living room the woman who had the status of her mother-in-law was sitting.

"What's up, you, calling me here?" ask Kania without further ado.

Madam Tama slammed the magazine she was reading on the table. "Basic doesn't know manners!" objurgation.

Kania did not comment on the words of the in-laws. He sat down in front of Madam Tama in a relaxed manner. There was no look of fear there. There, Kania was like she was challenging the woman.

"Why did you go to the hospital?" ask Mrs Tama.

The woman crossed her hands in front of her chest. His eyes stared intently at Kania, the woman he had never considered a daughter-in-law. Kania's thin smile show.

Where did he get my news to the hospital? Is he spying on me? ask Kania in my heart. "Routine inspection only" Kania replied.

"really? Are you pregnant?" asked Madam Tama hesitatingly.

Kania's forehead was wrinkled in hearing the question. For a moment, she thought that her mother-in-law was expecting a grandchild. However, a second later, his assumption was destroyed.

"If, yes, throw it out! I won't let you conceive a future Tama family" said Mrs Tama.

There was a great rumble in Kania's chest. As much as possible he resisted the rate of tears that would fall from the fertilizer. Kania's body trembled violently, due to the bubbling anger. The woman was only able to clench her hands as tightly as possible.

In fact, what Kris hoped would never happen. This woman in front of him, would never accept a child born from her womb. Kania took a deep breath, trying to strengthen herself. She hoped her tears would not fall in front of her mother-in-law.

"Just calm. I'm not pregnant yet" she replied as calmly as possible. Hopefully, Madam Tama did not realize her voice was beginning to tremble.

"good. If you lie, I'll figure out a way to kill the child in your womb before Kris knows where he is!" threaten Madame Tama. "Now, you can go!" Madam Tama took back the magazine, after expelling Kania.

Without saying goodbye, Kania left the house. He continued walking without turning back because his tears could no longer hold him. The woman bit her lips strongly, to hold back her crying inaudible.

Kris just finished filming. He took the phone that the manager had given him.

"Your phone keeps ringing. It might be important" said the manager.

Kris raised both eyebrows, when he heard the manager's words. He immediately saw the call log on his phone. Crystal's name was contacted twenty times. There was a message from the girl.

Is Kania pregnant? ask in the heart. He immediately put the phone in his pocket, then invited the manager to go home immediately.

The filming location was not too far from home, making Kris arrive within forty minutes. His chest was pounding, when he saw Kania's car parked in the house. Obviously, the wife has returned.

The man tried to calm himself from the euphoria of his happiness. What's it like to be a father-to-be? thought.

Once again Kris, then get out of the car. He immediately stepped in, after thanking the manager. His eyes scoured the entire living room. There is no visible whereabouts of the wife.

He also walked towards the room that Kania occupied lately. That door is unlocked. No more of his wife's stuff there. Now, the room seems unoccupied. Kris's face turned tense.

"What are you doing there?"

The sound made Chris look quickly. Not far from his standing position, there was Kania who was looking at him with a frown. As quickly as lightning, Kris hugged his wife.

"I thought you left me" Kris said.

Hearing that, Kania's heart warmed. Although the mother-in-law did not approve of their relationship, Kania was grateful to get love from Kris. The man proved, if Kania is much more meaningful than other women—sternasuk Crystal.

Slowly, Kania returned Kris' embrace. For your sake, I will try to gain the blessing of your mother, breaking Kania inwardly.

"I put my things in our room" he replied.

Kris looked into Kania's eyes. The man's face glinted at the wife's answer. Once again, Kris hugged Kania tightly. Pecking the side of the woman's head many times.

"You're sorry about me, aren't you?" ask Kris.

Kania smiled as she nodded her head in response. After returning from the house of the in-laws, Kania thinks about what caused her husband's mother to dislike her. I'm sure, it's not just my family's status that Mrs Tama sees. Crystal wasn't even worth the Kris family. It was definitely not a treasure he saw. But ... what?

Kania could only question all of that in her mind. Along the way, Kania had compared herself to Crystal. In terms of fame, maybe he was far behind. However, for beauty matters, Kania was no less than Crystal.

Unfortunately, Kania did not find the right answer to that question.

Day change day. The relationship between Kania and Kris began to warm. Mrs Tama, who knew that, chose not to say much, although honestly she did not like it.

That morning, Kania had just finished her bath. Apparently, Kris had opened her eyelids. The man approached his wife and kissed her forehead gently. Kania frowned finding such treatment.

"You're even more beautiful" Chris teased.

"I suspect, there's a shrimp behind the rock. What's up, honey?" Kania put her hands around her husband's neck.

Kris put her lips close to Kania's ear. Whisper something into the woman's ear. Kania had not had time to react, Kris had launched his attack. He gave no chance for Kania to refuse.
