In-laws Vs Son-in-law
Chapter 7

After Kris left, Kania immediately cleaned the house. Incidentally, today he has no work schedule. Madam Tama, too, has gone to work. Kania stayed there with the servants.

He started cleaning his room with Chris. Take out their dirty clothes. Finished with his room space, he switched by cleaning the house. Workspace and master room, no Kania touch. He doesn't want to cause any other problems.

"Miss, let us clean the house" said one of the servants who saw Kania do their duty.

Seeing the look of frightened faces on their faces, Kania smiled. "What's wrong, really. Let me take a vacation."

"But ...."

"Just do something else!" sela Kania first.

The servant obeyed the orders of their new employer. Kania continued her work. For four hours, Kania cleaned up the house until it was finished. Feeling tired, making him go back to the room. Then, break down the body and fall asleep.

"Wake up!" scream someone. He pulled the blanket that Kania was using.

Slowly, Kania's eyes opened. The face of the in-laws looking at him was sharp. Kania's gaze shifted on the clock above the nightstand. Both eyes are perfectly patterned to see the time that has shown six o'clock in the afternoon.

"Aware?" ask Mrs Tama. "I told you to prepare dinner. You even intentionally fell asleep here?"

Madam Tama's words made Kania not dare to look at her. He knows he made a mistake today. However, was it wrong for him to feel exhausted and fall asleep?

"Now, prepare dinner. I want you to cook five kinds of vegetables, three kinds of side dishes, and don't forget the three kinds of desserts!" the Lady Tama.

The woman left the child's room and daughter-in-law. After the death of the in-law, Kania heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately got out of bed to clean himself first.

After sitting in the kitchen for about an hour, Kania was finally able to finish all the dishes requested by the in-laws. Just as Kania was about to serve the dish, Kris returned.

"Darling, why are you doing it?" Kris helped Kania prepare dinner.

"Kris, Kania, what are you doing? Where are Mbak Jum and Mbak Irah? Why are you guys preparing dinner?" ask Mrs Tama who just arrived at the restaurant.

"Maybe they have another job, Ma" replied Kris.

Kania stared at her mother-in-law who seemed innocent. She even helped them prepare dinner. As they looked up, Madam Tama stared intently at her daughter-in-law. Kania understood the meaning of the gaze of the in-laws also chose to bow their heads.

"Yes, already. Let mama remind you! Why are they paid, if the job is like this!" grunts Mistress Tama.

"What's up, Ma. Kania is also a prank." An awkward smile was painted on Kania's face.

The hand of Madam Tama touched the back of Kania's hand. His face looks bad for the son-in-law. Kris who saw the familiarity between mother and wife smiled happily. The man was not aware of the true circumstances.

After dinner, Madam Tama called all the servants who worked in the house. Kania and Kris are about to board their room, restrained on the orders of Mrs Tama. Inevitably, the two rejoined the living room.

"You know what your fault is?" madam Tama asked with a voice echoing in the room.

Kania squeezed her hand starting to worry. While the servants, seen bowing their heads in. Kania could see their bodies shaking violently. I don't know why, he felt there would be drama here.

Madam Tama raised her hand to stop whatever Kris was going to say. His eyes were still staring intently at the servants standing in front. Kania himself, has begun to be uncomfortable with the show.

"How dare you let my son-in-law do your job!"

The servants began to kneel down and ask for mercy on Madam Tama. However, Kania could feel their glances leading to him. Now, he understood the reason the in-law forbade him to tell others this matter. The woman wanted to, scapegoat blacken Kania.

"Ma, don't blame them! Kania just wants to do the job as a wife." Somehow those words were coming out of Kania's mouth, instead of saying about the letter of agreement.

"Dear." Kris looked at Kania lovingly after hearing the wife's reply.

"It's not so, son. That should be their job. If you do it, then what is their job? Eating blind?" Madam Tama continued the drama she had started.

Damnit damnit! I need to be smarter about facing this witch. He really is two-faced! murmuring Kania in the heart.

To be honest, he was getting sick of seeing her changing attitude. However, Kania realizes one thing, all of this is the game of the in-laws, in order for Kris and himself to separate.

"What's wrong, Ma. From now on, if I don't have any filming schedules and other work, let me take on the job responsibilities." Kania decides to follow her mother-in-law's play.

Madam Tama and Kania were staring at each other. This time, he could see the look of hatred from the eyes of the in-laws. Can he be sure, it will be very difficult to change the stance of Mrs Tama.

The servants exchanged glances at the words of their young lady. Perhaps, they felt disbelief in what Kania said. There was a heavy sigh from Madam Tama.

"Yes, already. What do you think. But, remember! Prioritize the heir of the Tama family!" Madam Tama pointed her index finger at Kania.

"Yes, Ma," Kania replied with a gentle smile.

Kania was surprised, as Madam Tama approached and hugged her gently. However, what made Kania stunned was Madam Tama's whisper.

"Good, keep your acting in front of others. No one should know the contents of the agreement. And, you can't break it either. All those tasks, you still have to do. I've made your job easier, haven't I?" whispered Madam Tama.

The embrace began to stretch. Madam Tama smiled at her daughter-in-law. "You may return" Mrs Tama told her servants.

They also started leaving the living room. Kris grabbed Kania's shoulder. Seeing the smile of the loving husband, Kania returned the smile.

"Then, we went back to the room, yes, Ma," said Kris, "want to wash the order, Mama," added Kris while pulling Kania's hand to follow her.

"Yes" said Mrs Tama.

Kania turned her head and saw a dislike look from her in-laws face. Somehow Kania's life is next. Unaware, Kris sat herself in bed.

"What are you thinking?" kris asked to look at Kania who was just silent.

"Darling, how about we just stay in my apartment? Or, we could buy another house, rent doesn't matter either."

Kris frowned at the words of his wife. "What's the matter, honey? The waiter problem?" ask Kris.

"Nope-no. I just feel bad for them and Mom. That'sthat's all. Never mind, forget it." Kania moved from her seat. Choose to change his clothes with sleepwear.

This time, Kris felt that there was something strange about his wife's attitude. What's the matter?
