MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 22: THE NATURE OF WOMEN
Since dawn Ms. Dewi acted out of her daily habits. It was like hiding something. Mr. Herman who saw the unfamiliarity of his wife also rebuked directly Bu Dewi.
“Dik, why have you looked so moody since?” reprimand Mr. Herman.
“E-no Mas! I'm not okay. Just tired alone,” replied Miss Dewi while trying to normalize the look on her face.
“You're really okay, brother? Same thing if you have a problem. Shopping money out?”
“Ngak Mas. Shopping money is still there.”
“Fussy banner, huh? Do we need to pay a baby sitter to help you keep Panji?”
“No need Mas! The banner is not fussy. Even I am very happy with the existence of Panji. So, I'm not dumbass anymore at home.”
“Thank God then. Means you're not craving boutique business anymore, right?”
“If it still remains Mas. My goal is to open a boutique here right to advance this village as well as to be able to employ mothers here.”
“It looks like it needs big funds huh, Dik? If you sell a patch of rice fields, enough ngak, yes?”
“Duh, do not deh Mas if you have to sell rice fields. Poor Mr. Ratno and Mr. Salihun. Ntar their income decreased because of reduced arable land.”
“Then, wait for the end of the year, Dik. Wait for my end-of-year bonus to melt.”
“He was, Mas. If only there were investors who want to work with us good times, yes?”
“There are Dik investors who want to disburse funds for us who are still laymen in the world of business!”
“After a time there is a kind investor. He he he ..”
“Well, that's why don't you laugh. Let Mas can look back at your sweet smile that makes Mas always miss home.”
“Alah, Mas aja every day home night continues. Tombal!”
“Mas seriously, Dik. Mas's admiration for you has never diminished since Mas knew you. Only, Mas will also have to work hard for our future and also Panji,” said Mr. Herman while closing himself to his wife who was carrying Panji.
The Goddess smiled crisply. Instantly lost the feeling of sadness that he felt since last night. The face of Panji and her husband alternately.
“Mas, if you notice this Panji is similar to Mas, yes?”
“Iya tah, Dik? Means this Mas is handsome like a Panji, huh? If you can tell what looks similar?”
“Mata ... eyebrows ... nose ... Good thing the skin looks like Laras.”
“Halah ... Just say Mas gosong's skin! Gosong-Gini is hard to forget!”
“Crust me! So hard to forget that Surti was not married until now, right? Wait for that time!”
“Hm .. Start again! That's the past, brother. Want to be tapped again?”
“What was it last? I didn't know that Surti was always hanging out on the side of the road every hour I left for work, right?”
“Mas never noticed that, Dik!”
“Not to bother, Mas. Must be Mas these lyrics are said if there is Surti on the roadside. Aye, right? Or maybe Surti is also waiting for Mas to come home from work?” The Goddess widened her eyes.
“Which is probably it, Dik. It was midnight!”
“Who knows, Mas? His name is also satan! At midnight, no one is. Mas continued to see Surti alone on the side of the road. Continue you guys .. Maaaaaas!!!” Lady Dewi hit her husband's arm quite hard.
“Yes Allah, Sister! Is it wrong for you to hit? Is that just your suspicion?” whinek Mr. Herman withstood the pain.
“Feeling a man is never wrong Mas. Come on, be honest with me Mas has done it with Surti?”
This time Miss Dewi pinched her husband's thigh.
“Ooooo means that if people here do not like to gossip, Mas want to reconnect with the former Mas!” pinch Bu Dewi's getting louder on Pak Herman's thigh.
“Wadwww!!! That's not the concept, brother. It is illegal and forbidden by religion. Besides why mas must turn to another heart if at home mas already have a beautiful and sweet wife like you!”
“Mas sure?” Ask Bu Dewi while removing the pinch on the thigh of Mr. Herman.
“One thousand percent sure, Dik,” whining Mr. Herman.
“OK. This time I believe in Mas Herman, but remember that until Mas macem-macem, no more circumcision!”
“Ouch! No, Dik!” replied Mr. Herman reflexively holding on to his parents' legacy.
Lady Goddess smiled knot.
“Mas hunted shower there, it's noon. Ntar late!”
“Iya, Dik!”
While waiting for her husband to take a bath, Miss Dewi also prepared breakfast and provisions for Mr. Herman. Shortly after he finished his task, there was a call coming into his cell phone from a number that he did not know. Ms. Dewi did not pick up the phone call because she thought it was a call made by a prankster or misconnected. However, because the call was made repeatedly, the woman finally picked up the phone call.
“Assalamualaikum ..”
“Waalaikumsalam .. Dewi? It's me Sinta ..” the voice of a woman from across.
“Iya, right. My Goddess. SInta?” The goddess wondered in her heart.
“Iya, Goddess. It's me Sinta Diki's wife. Your old friend.” Answer the woman.
“Ya Allah .. You Sinta? The tomboy girl? How are you, Sin? Who did you get my number from?” cheer Bu Dewi glee.
“From our friend, Wi. Thank God, I'm fine, Wi. Where do you live now?”
“I live in Pomegranate hamlet, Sin. I really like you, Sin. How many kids do you have now?”
“Still one, Wi. My son is grown now. I miss you too, Wi. We meet, yuk?”
“Iya, Sin. But not now, huh? You see I have another show at home.”
“What way, Wi? Is your husband circumcising again?”
“Ha ha ha .. There-There are you, Sin. Just a small event. Well, maybe next week I can see you. Your home is not far, is it?”
“Near by kok. No need to cross the sea. If I have a chance, I'll pick you up!”
“Duh, don't be. I was traumatized to have picked you up!”
“Ha ha ha .. Are you afraid to enter the kayak gutter first? Do you remember that incident?”
“How can I forget, Sin. I've been limping for two weeks because of your carelessness!”
“Halah .. but, because of falling into the sewer you keep getting to know your husband Herman, right?”
“Ssttt .. Don't rame-rame. The guy is ntar!”
“Wild. Let him know that his wife did not like him because his skin was not white like a Korean artist. It turns out that the ending wants to be married to opa-opa kampong! Ha ha ha ..”
“Hus ... Your mouth turns out to be still not be brake yes, Sin!”
“Same with who talked!”
They both laughed happily after a long time of lost contact. They shared their stories over the phone. For a moment, Miss Dewi forgot about the problem she was facing. So excited, he did not realize the presence of someone in front of his house. The man came secretly and did a suspicious activity around the house of Madam Dewi. They just finished the chat after being reprimanded by Mr. Herman because Miss Dewi did not respond to the crying Panji.
