Not the Perfect Son-in-law
Chapter 49. Karmas

Chapter 49

Alika cooks with the direction of Miss Dewi. After almost two hours the cooking was finally cooked as well. Alika was told to cook gurame pickles. The middle-aged woman looked very upset at this new son-in-law. He did not expect that the second wife of his son could not do anything in taking care of the house. Though his mother was very praiseworthy as a good woman and smart in everything.

"If you had no Bimo in your stomach, I would have thrown you into the streets. What can you get from a woman like you? Not becus doing anything!" bentak Bu Dewi to the son-in-law.

Alika just lowered her head while playing the tip of the shirt. She was so afraid of her mother-in-law. He used to reply to the spicy words of Miss Dewi, the reply that he could be even more cruel, even he was in brackets in a damp warehouse.

"Tante why does he like to make Oma angry?" tanya Bia, Bimo's 5-year-old daughter.

"I–tu …." Alika herself was confused as to what to say.

"Must be a naughty aunt, huh? That person does not like bad boys," said Bia while engrossed in ice cream.

Maybe of all the residents of the house who still mending treat himself well is Bimo and Bia, although sometimes this boy often touched Alika's feelings indirectly.

"Makanya Bia do not imitate the behavior of Auntie, because she is a bad person," said Bu Dewi with a cynical glance.

"Well aunt why, Oma? Then, why not be punished so as not to be naughty again," asked Bia with her style typical of small children.

Madam Dewi smiled cynically to Alika. He considered his second son-in-law a source of trouble in their family. It has tarnished the good name of the family, made the household of his son at the tip of the horn, and pregnant illegitimate children.

Alika did not reply to the words of her stepson. He was lamenting for himself who was being karmic due to his actions and his mother to his sister's wife.

Ruqoyah's treatment of Hafsah has changed drastically. He now spoiled this daughter-in-law. At home also now there is a domestic assistant, named Mbok Sri. A middle-aged woman who can really take care of the house. Funny thing is now Ruqoyah does not want a young woman who is close to Ali. He breaks up with Sarah and says don't bother his son's family anymore. Of course this made Hafsah feel happy.

"Hafsah, what do you want to eat? Let Mbok Sri make it?" ruqoyah asked as she sat together with her daughter-in-law on the bench of the backyard while enjoying the rujak made by Ruqoyah specifically for Hafsah.

"Anything, Mom. I don't want to eat any particular food at the moment. I made you a rhyme" replied Hafsah with a sweet smile.

"Nake?" ruqoyah asked when she saw Hafsah was so greedy to eat her homemade rujak.

"That's a big boy, ma'am. It turns out that the mother is good for rujak," replied Hafsah.

"That's because in the past every pregnant woman, dad always craved to eat rujak. So, I learned to be with my in-laws" Ruqoyah laughed as she recalled her past.

"Assalamualaikum, dear .. Mother," greetings Ali.

Ali worked as a hotel manager for a week. The viral video issue is also over. Sarah could escape from the law. Only male hotel employees were found guilty.

Hafsah was happy to see her husband coming home. Currently Ali works the morning shift for health reasons as well as Hafsah who has difficulty sleeping if not embraced by him. Fortunately, Mr. Adam as the owner of the hotel understood that and gave him some leeway. Then, Ali's coworkers were also good and she was even happy to be able to work at night.

"Come, we'll eat!" take Ali to the two women he loves.

Ali and Hafsah's family are in a happy state. They did not know Alika's current state. Every time on the phone and asked the news always answered well and happy. Ruqoyah and Ali are also happy.

"Tomorrow Sunday we go for a walk, yuk!" take Ruqoyah who likes to go somewhere.

"We're taking Alika's family with us too, ma'am?" ask Ali.

"Yes, let's go. It seems like the Bimo family is also good" continued Hafsah.

Ruqoyah agrees to take Alika with her family on a vacation together. For a long time they did not eat out and enjoy playing together for entertainment.

"Will Alika call later. If the clock is afraid to interfere," Ruqoyah said with a feeling of pleasure.

'Alhamdulillah, at the end of my age is filled with happiness, ' said Ruqoyah.

Sarah received a report from her man. In his hands, there are several photos of Ali and Hafsah who are examining the contents in a special hospital for mothers and children.

"So, you are happy on top of my suffering! I want to see when you can smile like that" Sarah said.

The workspace that looks spacious in a modern style with complete and luxurious furniture facilities feels narrow and the chest also becomes crowded. The beauty of this room is inversely proportional to the state of Sarah's feelings.

What would Sarah do to Ali's family? Will Ruqoyah know the treatment that Alika got from her husband's family? Follow their story, yes!
