For Lust
Chapter 9's

A month passed, Rose began to get used to the attitude of her bossy mother-in-law also often said in a high tone. He understood that, maybe because he felt the oldest in this house so casually. Even Roses were used to Helena's attitude of asking for this and that.

The woman nicknamed the old virgin always asked for money, clothes and even jewelry to Rega. Which of course will always be followed by Rega. Roses had protested initially, but because Rega who seemed not to mind the request of the brother made him only silent now.

The rose began to think. Whatever he did, his in-laws and brother-in-law didn't care at all. He didn't want to be stressed while living in this house.

Only one has been making the Roses weird lately. Rega rarely asked for his share as a husband. This month they even did it once. It also felt so hollow, Rega did it in such a hurry. Not yet the Rose was satisfied, the man had already ended it. Even lightly said, if the Rose does not satisfy him so that his own so not eager to do it.

Some women, of course, are afraid of the rose. What if Rega seeks satisfaction from other women, because he cannot satisfy his needs.

"Rose, I'm asking for money.one hundred thousand only. his car tires are leaking, must be brought to the workshop."

The Rose's daydream was broken when Helena suddenly entered the room. The woman raised her hand right in front of the rose.

"There is no mbak. My money is only three hundred, Rega's payday is still a week away." Say the rose firmly.

Roses are not the type of people who can talk softly when dealing with someone who thinks sucks. Especially Helena, she doesn't like this sister-in-law.

"Mak pinjem kok. tomorrow is also behind." Helena did not give up.

The rose breathes rough. Annoyed, he stood up and took the money from his wallet.

"really behind tomorrow? but, where do you get money from tomorrow?" Ask Roses while giving her the money.

"yes, the count is so big sister-in-law. don't need to know, the important thing is tomorrow there is a change." Helena exclaimed, took the money and came out of the Rose's room.

Roses still don't know what Helena's job is. Every day she would go all day and come home in the middle of the night. But, money and other items are always requested from Rega or himself. Never once did Roses see Helena taking money out of her wallet every time she bought something.

Roses walked out, he saw his favorite car used to drive away from the yard of the house. His heart thumped considering his parents, what if they knew that the car had now changed ownership. His mother and father would be furious if they knew how the car could belong to his sister-in-law.

"haaaaahh. I miss you." Mumbles Roses.

He has not seen his family for a month. Just sending a message, it was just asking for news. Roses don't tell us anything about his life here. He did not want his parents to be worried later. If she knew that she was like a maid in her own husband's house.

"It's 2pm, I have to prepare food for lunch this afternoon." Roses rushed to the kitchen.

"Wait for the Roses." Call Kulsum from his room. Her parents just woke up to take a nap.

The rose turned and approached her mother-in-law lazily.

"what's wrong, ma'am?"

"mom hungry, are you cooking?"

It's good to be the mother-in-law in this house. His job was just sleeping, eating and going to gather gossiping with the neighbors. Roses are eager to protest the behavior of Kulsum and Helena to Rega, but every want to complain is always paled. Because Rega who looks lazy to talk. The man left in the morning and went home at night, then went to sleep. His tired face makes Roses so do not have the heart to bother him with all his complaints later.

"i just cooked Mom."

"yes already. I want a warm tea, make it fast and bring a middle room. I want to watch." He said with a commanding tone.

The rose clenched his hand. Had Kulsum not been the mother of her husband, she would have seen this woman before her. Old but always acting. Kulsum doesn't think of Roses as sons-in-laws. The woman treated him like a maid.

Without answering the rose went to the kitchen. He grumbled while stirring his tea.

"if you don't fear sin, I love this tea's poison." His grunts. "what kind of sins do I get in-laws."

...**************...

Hani is pampered in Rega's arm. He was really happy because he managed to make this man can not be far from his grasp. Even Rega blatantly said that now his was no longer able to stand when with his wife. Strangely if with Hani, just a touch of ordinary has made him passionate.

In the eyes of Rega, Hani looks much better than Roses. His appearance is always fresh, his body is fragrant and do not forget his face is so glowing is much different from the Rose.

Roses used to be like that, but now they are so different. The woman who had only been married for a month had changed drastically. His face was always dull, his body smelled of kitchen spices and another one of his looks was not attractive at all. I only wear a negligee all day. Roses are like mothers of 5 five children. There was absolutely no pulling it in Rega's eyes.

"so, your wife's not good at taking care of herself?" Tanya Hani responds to Rega's story to her.

The man did complain about all the shortcomings of his wife to Hani. Of course Hani made good use of it.

"yes, when she used to be very beautiful and sexy, but now.ck, just glance at her lazy." Complain Rega.

He himself wondered why the rose could change so drastically. The rose no longer cared about its appearance.

"if I really can't be so mas. appearance is number one so that the husband feels at home." His word.

"of course, in the office tired with work. home in a treat with a slum appearance, mumet my brain. fortunately, there are you. who can entertain me at a time like this." Rega pinched Hani's pointed nose.

The woman laughed a little. It felt soaring into the air in praise like that. There was no need to bother for him to make Rega even more infatuated with him. Because it seems, the Rose has given way so easily.

"then marry me." Chirps Hani made Rega let go of her embrace.

"wedding?" Ask Rega. Hani nodded in spirit. She is willing to be a second wife because she really wants to have Rega.

"why? you don't want to?" Ask Hani. "I don't want to be an impingement of lust, but marry me. Siri's no problem either."

Rega seemed silent. She and Rose had just been married for a month and now Hani asked her to marry him. Rega couldn't have done that, though. If his family finds out, his parents may be angry later. In addition, Rose must have asked for a divorce. Although now Rega felt no taste for him but he did not want to part with the Rose.

"mas, how about diem?" Hani shook his arms tight.

"just tell me, I'll marry you later for sure.not now."

Honestly, Rega doesn't really love Hani. This man was simply utilizing his closeness to satisfy his needs. He needed an outlet when he wanted to do it and Hani was always the right choice. In his heart was still the Rose, the woman he loved.

"not so, but..." Rega was confused as to what to answer.

Hani snorted and left Rega. He was angry because Rega did not seem to want to marry him, even though he had given everything for the man. Rega ruffled her hair rough, however she could not marry again.

...*************...

All the family members minus Rega were eating. Roses are even now getting used to Rega who always comes home late. The man will arrive home around 9pm and never eat dinner because he always eats out. Whether it's true or not, the Rose does not want to worry about it.

"Stain vegetables for Rega."

The rose stopped her mouth from hearing Kulsum speak. The woman took a plate from the closet and took fish, vegetables and fried tempeh. It is stored in one plate.

"mas Rega must've eaten outside ma'am. Every meal I left behind was never eaten, the morning was always thrown away." The rose said casually, she returned to eating quietly.

"what kind of "wife are you? want to eat or not, still must be separated. not be a wife." The hardship without caring if his speech is so painful.

Marja looked straight at the rose. The sad look on his daughter-in-law's face made the man feel bad. The rose did not answer Kulsum's words, only quietly holding tightness in his chest.

Helena was more and more convinced, if Rega must have kept something behind them. Because lately he caught a strange girly from his sister. Plus the thing about his return is that it is always late.

The woman looked at the Rose, then let out a long sigh.

"Rose, are you done?" Ask Marja.

The rose that was about to leave the kitchen nodded slowly. His appetite was lost because of the actions of Kulsum who spoke arbitrarily.

"yes Sir. Dirty plates keep it. I'll wash it." His word.

Marja immediately looked at Kulsum who felt absolutely no guilt.

"the mother should be able to keep her heart feeling. The rose was far from his family, there was nowhere to complain for him here. Mother's words are always spicy and bitter."

"Father just keep defending, mother does not like him.is it clear from before Rega married her mother said that mother does not agree. The rose is not mother's daughter-in-law's choice."

"but at least appreciate its current existence. Rega loves him, what's wrong with the rose on you, ma'am?"

Silent marrow. Of course, there's nothing wrong. Even during this time the rose always does what it asks. It's just that Kulsum always felt that the Rose did not meet the criteria as a daughter-in-law in this house. He wants Rega to marry a career woman, so that the future of his son is guaranteed. If a couple works together then his life will prosper, because of a lot of money. And he must have been splashed, too.

Helena did not care about the debate between her parents. He continued to eat as if no one was nearby.

For him the important thing can eat, go for a walk and have fun is good. It doesn't matter to him who the woman his sister marries. Want a poor, rich or disabled woman though. For him only one, the most important thing is that Rega still provides rations for money for him to travel.

Unlike Kulsum, the old woman was too greedy and matre. For him to have a daughter-in-law who earns it is very extraordinary, like his friend. His son-in-law is a model and his son works in a big company. Every gathering always boasts of both, of course Kulsum envies it. Because her daughter-in-law just stayed home. There's absolutely nothing to be proud of.

But if Rega allows Roses to work, Roses already do. After all, he felt very tired of being at home and struggling with homework every day. But, as a good wife, of course, the rose will obey what her husband said.

At exactly 8 o'clock in a few minutes, Rega came home. The man immediately put his body on the bed. The rose did not ask much, made him warm tea and then fell down his body.

"Tonight I don't want to do it?" Ask Rose, he asked like that because it had been two weeks that Rega had not touched him.

"mas tired.we just sleep?" Take Rega.

The rose nodded then hugged Rega's body. The smell of Rega's sweat doesn't seem to matter to the Roses. Though Rega still wears his work clothes, not washing his face at all. But Rose doesn't care, she likes her husband's body odor.

Rega fell asleep and so did the rose. Both of them slept in a hugging position.

Ting...

Ting...

Ting...

The rose opened its eyes when it heard the tone of the incoming message coming from Rega's phone. Disturbed and a little curious, Roses finally woke up. He took the phone that was on the nightstand.

"who are the nights like this." His grunts were upset that he had disturbed his sleep.

The rose immediately saw what message her husband got, until there were a dozen. His eyes widened and his hands trembled in disbelief as soon as he saw the contents of the message received by Rega.

Her chest rumbled to see some photos sent by a contact named Maduku.

"what the fuck?" The rose almost fainted to see the reality.

Some photos of a woman without clothes plastered real on the screen of her husband's mobile phone. Even the intimate parts of the woman are in the photo so clearly.

The rose immediately saw Rega who was sleeping soundly with mixed feelings. He knew now, why Rega had always refused to get in touch. This must be all the cause.

"who is this man, why did Mas Rega give the name Maduku? is he your affair?" Ask the Rose with a trembling voice. Of course there is no answer, because Rega is asleep.

The rose breathes and then exhales slowly. He tried to be calm. Won't act rashly. He quickly copied the number on his phone. Maybe he should investigate first, who and what the relationship is. The rose will pretend not to know for now. Once everything is clear, then do not blame him if later doing bad things.

The rose quickly deleted all the photos. He also kept his phone back. Tomorrow he should start investigating everything.
