We calculate the action of the group of affine diffeomorphisms on the relative cohomology of pair $(M,\Sigma)$, where $M$ is a square-tiled surface that is a normal abelian cover of the flat pillowcase. As an application, we answer a question raised by Smillie and Weiss.
Keywords: Teichmüller dynamics., Square-tiled translation surface.
