Criminal-In-Law Part 2

Then on their first night...jeng...jeng...jeng...(Wait! As a humble Malay mother bounded with the not-so-free freedom of speech in this society, I am not supposed to reveal the kissing scene on bed and all over their body, the foreplay they had, which sex position in the Kamasutra they referred to and whether had they used protection et cetera right? "Oh my God! Did I just reveal the details about what I saw from their tapes? What a sin! What a sin!", I remembered the night when I sneaked into their room and found heaps of their tapes on the floor. "Youngsters nowadays, have no shame!", I told myself upon seeing the recording.

Forgive me my readers; I seriously have no intention to elaborate about their marriage but my in-law is never seen praying inside this house but will always bring back a brief-case full of gold and cash cash cash. At least, that can guarantee their marriage and my daughter will not end up like me, a widow who is forbidden to even get near to other people's husband.


***

I was happily married to Noah, my own teacher in the kampung until he passed away seven days after my daughter was born. Tragic right? I was supposed to die due to a serious complication I had when I gave birth to Fatima but life is complicated; no one ever knew that my husband had kept his sickness out of our knowledge all those while.


I had to sell nasi lemak around the kampung--in fact the only nasi seller in Melor, Kelantan to support our life. Mariah is no longer a business rival after she got married to Pak Imam and they live happily ever after, despite her frequent fights with Cik Yam. I know, jandas should never remarry and not with someone else's husband. That was what has been told by my mother long after she got to know about Noah's death. 


"Jandas will always be jandas; please do not let my daughter be left alone one day, insyaallah", I talk to Allah one day in a thundering setting, late at night when everyone in the house was sleeping soundly but me.
