MY HUSBAND STROKED BUT DID NOT DIE
Chapter 76 I'M YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW

A month later, my physical condition returned to normal. My puerperium is also over. I started to notice my appearance again.

I started dieting so that my weight could return. I also went to a beauty clinic to start taking care of my face again.

I even taught my son to drink formula. I no longer give my ASI.

Not that I don't want to, but I have plans to start looking for a job. Because I don't want my life to rely solely on my in-laws' possessions.

Even though Teguh did prohibit me from working, but I still stand on my stance.

I want to be independent. I want to be able to support my little family from my own efforts.

I can't wait until Arka's body is healed, and hang my life on her again.

I tried to explain all my reasons to Teguh.

"Sir, your in-laws' legacy will not run out if only to support the three of you. I will manage it until Arka is healthy again. So why are you tired of work?" as soon as Teguh tried to prevent my wishes.

"Mas, I want to be independent. Although later my income is not much, at least I can get my own money. Not just relying on inheritance" I replied.

"But that means you're leaving your son, your husband. Have you thought about that? How will they be when you stay at work?"

"Already, Mas. My son let bi Yati take care of him. When it comes to Arka, can't Teguh help as usual?" sahutku.

We had a long argument that night. Teguh always tries to break my spirit. Trying to get my wish.

But I'm not discouraged. My desire is getting stronger.

"Sorry, Mas. This time let me be with my choice. Let me with my wish. I hope Mas Teguh can understand it" I said in the end.

"And if the Teguh do not like my wishes, and do not even like our presence here anymore, we can go back to our old house."

I, who insisted on my wish, chose better to leave this house, than my life was governed by someone else.

Although Mas Teguh was Arka's brother, and he was the only Arka mas family nearby, but he had no right to rule my life.

My life is long. My future is still wide. If I'm just a foot barge, then what about my son's future?

What if the legacy is exhausted? I'm thinking that far.

Especially once, a distant brother Arka came to my in-laws' house, I heard himself saying things that made my ears hot.

He said it was good to be his mantle. Just sleep money comes alone. Without having to work hard like me. Which should work from morning until night.

Since then, my desire to find a job has grown stronger.

I did not intentionally say it to Mas Teguh. I don't want any commotion in this family. Because I'm sure, Teguh will definitely defend me.

And it could be that Teguh will drive his brother out that night.

I also forbid bi Yati to say it to Mas Teguh. Bi Yati happened to hear it too.

And that makes me very hurt to hear it, when the mouth of his brother Arka was carrying around the matter of descent.

I am not clear of his descendants. Not clear weights, seeds and bebetnya. I wanted to feel like I was crying at the time.

"Of course, don't listen. Romlah is so the man. So he used to rarely come here, because often scolded by his mother" said bi Yati at that time.

"He was envious. Because her son got a husband. He is also envious of Teguh mas, who is trusted to manage all the efforts of the deceased's mother and father" continued bi Yati.

"Now what matters, we don't get close to him. He will be home soon too. Because his son does not like that he is here for too long" said bi Yati.

"What's wrong, Bi?" manya curious.

I don't even understand what bi Yati means.

" His son-in-law is kere. He had always hoped to have a son-in-law who was the son of a rich man like Arka mas. Or who diligently works like a Teguh mas. Even with unemployment" said bi Yati, then held back his laughter.

Strangely I thought. Would you like to have a rich daughter-in-law but have a stroke like Arka mas?

"Tomorrow I'll start looking for a job. Do you have any vacancy information?" ask me a stale base. Because I know, for example there is a Teguh mas will not tell me.

"There" replied Teguh briefly.

"Oh yeah? Where's where?" tanyaku.

"In warehouse. Continuing your in-laws' efforts. It's the same, right?" He stared hard at me. I turned my face away.

"Now explain to me, what's the reason you don't want to continue your in-laws and prefer to find a job somewhere else?"

I was lazy to answer the question. Because I feel like I've said the reason, and I don't want to repeat my explanation.

I got out of my chair. And rushed into my room.

Without me noticing, Teguh followed me and entered my room.

I was surprised when I closed the door, but Teguh held it with his hands.

Then a little jolt until the door opens. And almost about my face.

I backed off a little. I looked at the face of Teguh who looked reddened with anger.

He forced his way into my room. Then shut the door from the inside and lock it.

"You what, Mas?" ask me while walking backwards.

He continued to slowly move closer to me. I also kept retreating. Until my back hit the wall of the room.

But I was getting closer to me. He covered my body with both hands.

I ventured to look at his face. My breath hunts holding back the upset.

"Ar, you know why I don't agree to you working?" ask me Teguh. Tumben he called my name, not the usual 'deck.

I shook my head.

"Because I don't want to be away from you!" answer me firmly.

"meaning?" my many.

"I love you, Ar" replied Teguh lirih.

"Mas, I'm your sister-in-law! Conscious, Mas!" sahutku.

"I'm sober, Ar. That's why I've been quiet all this time. Because I realized there's still Arka. But I never expected Arka to be gone. I just want to be always close to you, Ar" said Teguh.

Then suddenly I brought his face closer to mine. I held my breath. I felt his breath so close.

I closed my eyes. I couldn't look at Teguh's face. He's the man I thought was my brother, right in front of my face.

But suddenly Teguh distanced his face again. Even he let go of his cage. I opened my eyes. Stared at.

"I'm sorry, Ar. I didn't mean to...Ah, that's it." Then he came out of my room.I breathed a sigh of relief.
