THE LOVE PASSION OF A SEALED WIDOW
Chapter 1: The Slander of Mother-in-Law

Rain is pouring down on the city of Jakarta. A young woman sat pensively at the dinner table staring at the food it was getting cold.

The wall clock has pointed to the number 21.00 at night. But there was still no sign that her husband would be home soon, thinking that maybe he was stuck in the office and could not go home because of the rain that fell tonight.

"Until when are you going to wait for your husband?! It's best to just throw away those foods, there's no point in you cooking if Bima doesn't want to touch them. Just wasting money!!"

The woman only glanced and ignored the words of her sister-in-law. He was already used to hearing the sharp words of the woman who was 10 years older than him.

"What's up, Sasa? Why haven't you slept?"

Soon a middle-aged woman approached the woman named Sasa. "I have to, Mom. Why didn't you sleep?"

"Have your sister not come home yet?"

"Mom just ask his wife, didn't he work hard to not know the time to meet the needs of the woman, so you should ask her!!" sasa replied and left just like that.

Mirah approached her daughter-in-law and asked her. "Sherly, why hasn't Bima come home yet?!" ask Mirah in a hostile tone.

"I don't know myself, Mom. I tried calling her phone, but she didn't pick it up. Maybe the signal's bad, or else he's on his way." Answer Sherly.

"Based on a stupid wife, useless!! Is this all you can do as a wife, you should care more about your husband. After all, he works to support you, don't just go easy and take the money!!" mirah said cynically.

Sherly got up from her seat and looked at her mother-in-law sharply. "Did I not hear wrong, Mom?! Bima's special food only gave me half of her salary, because the rest was given to mother, but why did mother blame me instead?!"

"Suppose you are!! How dare you speak like that to your mother-in-law?! Have you never been taught manners by your mother?!"

"Enough, Mom!! You can insult me as you please, but don't take my mom!! Because she's the nicest woman in the world!!" asserted Sherly and left just like that.

"### You brash daughter-in-law!! It's barren, useless, and now it's brave for me. Just look, I will definitely complain to Bima. So you can teach me a lesson!!" shouted Mirah but ignored by Sherly.

Sherly massages her dizzy temples, she wants to live a quiet life for once, but why it feels so hard. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law always put herself in trouble, not to mention Bima who anything turns on her if it has got a complaint from her mother.

The roar of a motorbike entering the yard caught Sherly's attention.

The woman got up from her seat and walked towards the window, Bima came home half wet. Then she left her room and approached her husband.

Meanwhile...

Bima, who had just arrived at her house, was confused to see her mother crying at the dinner table. Bima also saw the dish and had not been touched at all. Then the man approached his mother.

"What's this, Mom?! Why are you crying? Why are these foods still intact?" ask Bima.

Mirah wiped her tears and looked at her son with a glare. "Mom, what's wrong with Sherly?! Why the more day his attitude is getting brazen and more outrageous. He's brave to mom, he's yelling at mom, and he's saying that you're so chatty." Adu Mirah to the Son.

Five squinted his eyes. "Sherly did that on, Mom?! It's impossible, Mom. I know Sherly very well, she's a gentle woman who's always loved me so much."

"That's when you were home, but after you left. Your wife is always acting up, she yells at mom and asks mom to finish all the housework. Including cooking, mopping, and washing her clothes. While she's nice, sometimes she also goes hang out with her friends." Sahut Sasa added.

"That's all you have to do, as a husband you have to be strict with your wife who doesn't know herself!!" answer Sasa.

Mirah grinning. He gave a thumbs up to Sasa, his daughter was indeed very helpful. Especially at a time like this.

Bima stared angrily at his wife who had just arrived. He violently pulled Sherly's arm and slapped her. "So this is how you've been doing all this time when I wasn't around, you treated my mother so badly like a maid?!" bima Bentar is full of emotions.

Sherly held onto her cheek that had just been slapped by Bima. With courage he returned to drive Bima no less hard, and what Sherly did certainly surprised the 3 people.

"Sherly, you!!" snapped Mirah after seeing What was done to her son.

"Enough all of you!! You've had enough bad treatment for me all this time. And you, Bima!! Didn't you know me the most all along, have I ever been rude and rude to your mother?! Isn't there CCTV in this house, you can check me or those who are guilty. So men don't be so stupid, let alone easily used by your own mother!!"

"Sherly, you~" Bima held her hand, and stopped showing Sherly. With emotion, Bima just left.

Sherly also left the living room and returned to her room, while Bima went to the guest room. Mirah and Sasa both smiled satisfied to see the husband and wife quarrel. Yes, their main goal was to separate the two of them.

Sherly's phone rang, her mother's name adorning her lit phone screen was. Curious why her mother called her this late, Sherly received the call.

"Hello, Ma. Tumben once Mama called me these nights, not usually. Is there anything important, that you want to tell me?" ask Sherly.

"Sherly, why is your voice a little weak. Are you all right, son?" ask Mrs Ivanka across the street.

"Yes, Ma. I'm fine, just a little tired. Today the guest arrival house is quite a lot, friends Mas Bima come to visit. So I have to serve them, like preparing food and drink." The lie.

There's no way Sherly's telling the truth. If she has a problem with her husband's family, her mother can be anxious, sherly doesn't want that to happen.

"Sherly, Mama and Papa are planning to go home this month. Mama wants, you came with Bima to the house because since marriage you never introduced her to us. You even hired people to be your fake parents."

Sherly smiles. "Sorry, Ma. I didn't do it all for no reason. I just want my husband to accept me for who I am, nothing. Because all Bima knew all along, I was just a country girl and from a simple family."

"Everyone can be nice to me, but not necessarily they are sincere. They're good I'm the daughter of people, that's why I keep my identity a secret from everyone, including Bima and her family."

"Mama, understand Sherly. Well, you better get some rest. It's late at night, Mama close first, see you."

Sherly sighed heavily. The woman put her phone on the table and smiled cynically. If they knew she wasn't a country girl, maybe her behavior on her would be very different.
