Not wanting to make the mother-in-law angry, Zafira then immediately made tea and prepared some food for the guests of the mother-in-law. Zafira also asked Bik Mina to help make Refina milk. Refina had a habit of drinking a glass of warm milk before going to bed, both day and night. Since it was time for Refina to take a nap, Zafira wanted to make Refina a glass of honey-flavored milk. However, because Liliana asked him to make tea and food for her guests, so he was forced to ask Bik Mina to make it.
"Thank you, bik. If Refi nanyain Fira, say that Fira is sick stomach," said Zafira was forced to lie because usually Refina just fell asleep after he embraced and rubbed his head.
Bik Mina smiled. He knew a little about the habits of the children of Zafira. He also felt sorry for Zafira's situation. But unfortunately, she was just a housekeeper, she had no power to help Zafira and her children.
"Not thank you all like anyone," bik Mina scolded while grumbling. But then, he smiled. She was very fond of her young mistress who was not only beautiful, but kind, friendly, and gentle. But unfortunately, the advantages still do not make the family can really accept it. The employer is too proud and prioritizes seeds, bebet, and weights so that they want to be as great as Zafira, they still cannot accept it for only one reason, namely Zafira was born from an ordinary family. Even Zafira's parents living in the village made her employer even less fond of her.
Zafira smiled at the same time as she had just finished preparing tea and snacks for her mother-in-law's guests. Then he rushed to deliver the drink to the guests.
Upon arrival in the living room, Zafira immediately served the food and drinks with a friendly smile. But inversely proportional to the gazes of the guests the mother-in-law who looked at him with a full gaze probing even some stared with scornful gazes.
"He art you jeng?" chirp one of Liliana's friends.
Liliana's face muttered sourly, "actually it's not."
Zafira who was just about to move up quietly stumbled into a smile. Her heart warmed as her in-laws did not consider her an art.
"meaning?" knock the woman again with a frown.
"He's Liliana's daughter-in-law, jeng." The other timpal already knew who Zafira was.
"Well! Just be right. So she's your son's wife, Refano? Your son's taste is like that anyway, jeng?"
Liliana snorted, "who said she tastes Refano. If not Refano's pushy grandfather, where would my son be perfect with a kayak village woman."
Zafira had indeed walked away, but the sound of the conversation was still quite audible in his ears. Hearing those words, the warm feeling suddenly crashed. Be ill. Even after 7 years of being a daughter-in-law in the family, she was still looked down upon and despised. Is that in the eyes of those people? Does he deserve to be part of this family? If possible, Zafira had rejected the match. Even his parents had refused for fear of this kind of thing happening to their daughter. But because their families also had debt, they were not able to refuse. Refano's grandfather threatened to collect the debts of his father's care first. In the past, when Zafira was a child, his father had experienced heart disease and to treat it required a large cost. Then came Grandpa Refano offering help. Their father did not expect, Refano's grandfather used the debt of gratitude to make him forced to accept the match. But Refano's grandfather promises Zafira will be happy to be a part of that family. But baby, promise to stay. After the departure of Refano's grandfather, their original attitude came out. They openly showed their dislike for Zafira. Zafira who did not want his family to grieve and heart disease his father relapsed was forced to accept everything steadfastly. He never once told his parents about the treatment of the family with the hope of slowly softening the hearts of his husband and in-laws and willing to accept himself with a sincere heart.
Until 7 years have passed, nothing has changed. He still felt like a stranger in the family. Even her mother-in-law often treated her like a maid. Until when he can survive, he does not know.
"She's beautiful, but her style is ... Where it's so dull," he said again.
Zafira is actually pretty. But her busyness takes care of the family household not to mention both children and her husband makes her not have time to just take care of herself. Plus she was pregnant, making her easily exhausted, as a result she really did not have time to take care of herself because if she has free time, she prefers to rest herself.
"Jeng, I think Fira is pregnant with another girl!" chirps Liliana's friend who knows the family wants a grandchild, not a girl.
"Yes? Duh, this house could be like a child shelter, already like a home, if again the daughter."
"Yes, it's just her stomach widening that way, that's a feature of pregnant girls."
"We need a successor to YG Group. If again born a daughter, YG Group may not have a successor. I do not want YG Group to fall into the hands of my husband's children. You know, YG Group is a family company. So there has to be a male successor if you want to keep the company." Liliana explained.
"Come dizzy, ask for marriage again. Jeng knows, Saskia used to like Refano, but Refano always considered Saskia a friend. I'm sure Saskia can realize the jeng's desire to have a grandson. Look, Saskia's sister, Lydia, her 3rd child, all boys. I'm sure, Saskia's like Lydia, can handle a lot of boys."
Reaching out, the words of the middle-aged woman named Merry made Liliana's eyes sparkle. He smiled widely.
"You're right too, Mer. How about we get our kids together?" liliana felt no guilt towards Zafira.
Degh ...
Zafira's heart instantly pulsed in pain. He who was about to deliver the cake that he just made stiffened in place. His body was instantly stiff, he had not expected, his in-laws could have such intentions.

"Ma, next week there's an event at Regi's school. Mom was told to come. Later Regi was told to sing, Ma. Papa would not come, Ma?" regina said with her own face. Seeing the attitude of the father who was always indifferent to him made Regina doubt herself. Even during Regina's birthday, never once did her father give congratulations let alone give gifts.
Zafira's heart was slashed like sembilu. It stuns the heart. Zafira bit her lip. Tongue's cow. Even his hands were already shaking with his eyes heating up.
But as much as possible he tried to stay calm and smile. He gently rubbed the long mane of his eldest daughter.
"Later mama try to ask the same papa yes, papa is busy not. Regina don't be sad, you're busy working, baby, not not not willing. Whom are you looking for money for, try it? For all of us, to buy Refi milk, to pay for Regi school, for snacks, to buy rice, vegetables, chicken, meat, fruit, and others. Don't be sad, baby. There will be a mother, and a mother will come. Mama wants to see her beautiful daughter sing. Refi would also like to see Regi singing, right, baby?" Zafira turned towards Refina who was leaning on her shoulder.
"Yes ma, Lefi wants to watch Legi sing. Brother, Lefi can follow the singing? Lefi also wants to sing. Want to nali too," said Refina with sparkling eyes.
"That can sing only the school so Refi can not follow," said Regina made Refina grunt sourly.
"Well, Lefi wants to sing too. Lefi wants to go to school too if it's like that, Lefi wants to go to school with Legi can Ma?" refina asked with her slurred voice that could not pronounce the letter R.
Suddenly Zafira's laughter broke out at Refina's request, not to mention her adorable expression. Then he hugged his two daughters and kissed both of his cheeks. In her heart she prayed, may one day her husband and father-in-law's heart soften so as to receive her two cute and adorable daughters. Though what lack of daughters, in addition to smart, they also have white skin, round eyes, lentic eyelashes, a charming smile, a big nose, long and black hair. When Regina's hair is straight, Refina's hair is slightly wavy, but still looks beautiful, in accordance with her appearance.
Again, Zafira rubbed his stomach that had been slightly opened. Can she expect the child she bears to her husband's family love? But as quickly as possible Zafira shook her head, no. He wouldn't ask for that. Men and women alike, they are a powerful gift. The main thing is not his son was born perfectly healthy without one less anything. Yes, that is all he will ask his Lord.
