Don't Underestimate Me
Chapter 84


Angel was waiting at the dinner table. The little girl played her spoon and plate with her face bent.


"An!", call Galuh.


"Yes aunty?"


"Why haven't you taken the rice?", Galuh asked as he led Sham to sit next to him.


"Wait for aunty with Opa. But which Opa, don't eat?", asked Angel. This morning the whole house failed to eat breakfast because of the commotion Glen was doing.


"Let aunty call, you eat first!", said Galuh. Syam and Angel nodded obediently.


Galuh slowly approached his father-in-law who was looking at the garden workers.


"Eum.maaf Pa, please have lunch first pa. Sham and Angel wait for papa at the dinner table!", said Galuh lirih. Arya looked back at Galuh.


"Have you dared to greet me like that?", asked Arya in her arrogant style. But, as someone who is already immune to the pain of the curse of the in-laws, Galuh actually faced with a smile.


"Sorry pa, if papa is still not pleased. But. Papa better have lunch first. The children are waiting for papa, kasian!", said Galuh.


Arya slowly approaches her daughter-in-law. The mature man's stern eyes stared fixedly at his daughter-in-law.


"You already have everything, stop humbling!!" said Arya quietly but filled with emphasis.


If others would offend his father-in-law, not Galuh. He kept smiling and nodding. As we get older, Galuh also matures in addressing everything. Including what happened to his father-in-law.


"We don't mean to be humble!", continued Galuh.


"I know, there are things that papa covers from us and papa let others always misunderstand papa. Including the phallus and me. Isn't it Pa?", Galuh asked at length.


"You know nothing about me!", said Arya.


"Indeed, but I know that papa's a good man!"


Arya smiled cynically. Shake slowly while stretching away from Galuh. The pregnant woman only breathed a heavy sigh.


It was so hard to melt his father-in-law's heart. If there is a way that he can take, even if it is difficult Galuh will certainly still make Papa Arya bless his marriage with Lingga.


Not wanting to make his father-in-law's appetite evaporate, Galuh chose to step aside and intended to eat at the kitchen table.


"Sister!"


Galuh stopped his feet and turned to Sham.


"What Deck? Did you forget not to drink?", asked Galuh. Syam.


"Where are you going?"


"Oh, that. Brother wants to finish the former eating brother earlier. You're starving so sorry ..I'm not eating first!" said Galuh.


"Have you really eaten?", asked Syam as if in disbelief. Galuh hesitated.


Arya knew that her daughter-in-law was lying, because she didn't see the mark of eating like Galuh said just now when she washed her hands. The dining table in the kitchen was clean and saw nothing.


"Sit down! Encourage your sister to eat! You are the host here, it is impolite to leave his guests for lunch alone!", said Arya.


If Angel and Sham are offended, again Galuh just smiles. Behind his arrogance, it was actually papa's attention.


Without refusing, Galuh sat next to Angel because Arya was sitting next to Sham.


They ate lunch in silence. After a while, Arya first rose from her seat followed by Sham who followed papa from her sister-in-law.


"Yes An! If it takes anything call aunty yes!", said Galuh softly.


"Yes aunty!", replied Angel and climbed the stairs to the room he lived in.


Arya chose to see quite a number of garden workers were resting in the saung. They work without a burden. It looks like they are joking and throwing laughter at each other even though they are both tired. One by one the workers disbanded. Arya so asked herself, did they finish working only until noon this way????


"Papa!", call Sham. Arya who was thinking about the workers turned her head.


"Why Sham?"


"What did you notice?", Syam sat on the bench swinging his legs.


"That, the garden workers. Is their job done at this hour?"


Syam.


"Well, they're resting. Later after lunch and Dhuhur prayer they also returned again. We go to the mosque yuk Pa, pray Dhuhur there!", take Sham.


"Papa pray at home only later!", replied Arya. Syam did not force.


"May Sham ask pa?"


"What?"


"Is it because we are poor, and you don't want to accept Galuh as your son-in-law?" asked Sham. Arya looked at him as well.


"You're a kid, it's adult business."


"Yes, Sham is still a child!" said Sham softly as he stared at his swinging feet. Sham's clear answer made Arya turn and sit closer to Sham.


"What...Sham misses his father Sham?", asked Arya. Syam looked up and shook his head.


"Zea's father only has Zea, not Sham's!", Sham replied with a faint smile but a look of sadness in the corner of his eyes.


"But if Opa Surya, he seems very hopeful to love Sham and give you the right Sham, as his grandson."


"What right?", asked Sham.


"The rights you should have gotten so far from him who does not know if you exist. The same rights that Zea got from him!"


Sham shook his head slowly.


"Ngga. Syam feels enough to have a brother who can be a brother and father. Syam doesn't need Zea's father or Surya's master. And now...Syam also has papa Arya, his father Abang who said papa Syam too!", continued Syam with a sweet smile.


Arya's hand stretched out to rub the head of Sham slowly. Not to forget, a sincere smile was seen from Arya's lips.


I was once cast aside like you Sham, and I don't want you to feel what it's like to be me. You will get your thing Syam even if you do not ask for it. Arya's determination in her heart.


Both silent. If Syam thinks about his mother who still has not come home from the hospital, different from Arya.


The shadow in which he insulted and demeaned his son-in-law and son just then flashed through his brain. In fact, they proved that they were capable and broke his words that thought the Linga would fail.


Instead, they succeed not only in getting financial wealth, but also respect from people around.


As a parent, Arya is proud, right?


Am I too proud to admit their success because all this time I always underestimated the ability of Lingga and Galuh??????
