Modalin I'm Dong, Mas
Capital 1

Sunlight was still timid to show its rays, the cold air still felt piercing in the skin, but a young woman with a shabby negligee and hair that was just a simple pigtail was busy struggling in the kitchen. Preparing breakfast for her husband and mother-in-law.

Exactly at six in the morning, seafood fried rice complete with cow's eye eggs has been served at the dining table. Arum immediately climbed the stairs leading to the room to wake the husband.

"Mas, wake. It's six o'clock" said Gentle woman as she gently shook her husband's shoulder.

Slowly Arka opened her eyes, the man stepped into the bathroom without returning a smile from the husband. Arum did not take heart of the behavior of the husband that he had been accustomed to for the past year, the woman chose to prepare the husband's office suit and return to the dining table. There was already sitting a middle-aged woman who was staring trivially at him.

"Good morning, ma'am" Arum said to her mother-in-law.

"Bikinin I tea, all coffee for your husband," ordered Bu Kanti without returning the greeting of the son-in-law.

Arum just commented a smile and then turned his body back to the kitchen. The woman returned with a cup of tea for her mother-in-law and a cup of coffee for her husband.

"Please, Mom. Here's the tea" Arum said as he placed a cup of tea on the table.

Bu Kanti did not reply, the middle-aged woman just took a quick glance then sipped her tea. A few minutes later Arka came down with neat clothes and immediately nodded in one of the chairs. Arum quickly gets food for his new husband and then takes food for himself. There was no sound other than the plates clashing with the spoons and forks.

"Arum," called Arka after finishing his parapace.

"Yes, Mas?" answered Arum gently

"You can't do it, just take care of your appearance. I'm tired of seeing dull faces every day, shabby negligee and now that hair roller why are you still wearing it everywhere?"

Arum's eyes bully hearing the babbling of the husband, from this morning the woman did not realize if she had not removed the hair roller perched on her head since last night. Slowly the woman felt the top of her own head and took a hair roller that had managed to upset the husband.

"I-this was I forgot to take off because I woke up late and rushed to cook for breakfast, Mas," said Arum defended himself.

"Here is your reason. Where every mallem smells balm, every morning the smell of onions plus the appearance of disheveled like this. Lazy I see it, tonight I come home late. I want to hang out with my friends so as not to see your face continue," said Arka who immediately passed left the dining table without saying goodbye to him, a few minutes later the sound of Arka's car away.

"Eatya so the woman should be able to care for herself donk, the time has not had children just appearance already kayak gini. How later if you already have children, can be worse and worse genderuwo you." Now it was Bu Kanti's turn to put out her scathing words for Arum.

The young woman did not reply, Arum chose to take care of the dirty dishes from their breakfast because he was reluctant to argue with his mother-in-law. For Arum the scorn of her husband and in-laws has been a daily meal since she stopped working.

"Aruuumm!" Just now that Arum finished washing the dishes, there was already the sound of Bu Kanti shouting from inside his room.

The young woman ran to her mother-in-law's room.

"Yes, Mom. What's up?" arum asked after arriving at the door of Bu Kanti's room.

"Now, you'll wash it. Do not use a washing machine because it is still new and expensive. Be careful if it breaks," ordered Bu Kanti while throwing expensive clothes into Arum's face.

Arum just nodded and twisted his body to wash his mother-in-law's clothes.

"Arum, Wait!" The thunderous sound of Bu Kanti again made Arum turn his head.

"Later three o'clock in the afternoon there is a socialite in this house. You go to the market and cook well. One more thing, do not let you be shy in front of my friends with your appearance that is like a gem!" Again the words of Bu Kanti made Arum's heart ache, the young woman nodded and soon passed from the presence of her mother-in-law.

With a gontai step Arum headed to the laundry room and washed the clothes by hand. After finishing with the expensive clothes, Arum rushed to the market by riding a motorcycle matic.

"Where to look beautiful and well-maintained, wong his work every day like a babu. Shopping money is often used up for cooking at the event of the mother-in-law's celebration. If you want me to be beautiful it should be modalin, not even nagging just every day," monologue Arum while advancing his motorcycle.

The woman bought some groceries to make snacks as a treat for her mother-in-law's arisan. Arum chose to make risol mayo and steamed brownies today. His tired body made him want to rush home after finishing shopping.

When he arrived at the house, he saw a locked door, lucky for the woman to carry a spare key in her negligee pocket.

"Surely shopping again mother, but thank God. So there is no need to make a fuss lunch, mending me to make instant noodles just keep eating," said Arum while storing his shopping items.

Arum cooked a pack of instant noodles with two eggs as his lunch menu then took a break and made a snack ordered by his mother-in-law.

Right at half-three in the afternoon Arum had finished arranging the snacks he made at the dining table. The woman decided to take a shower and change her shabby negligee before Bu Kanti returned home with her social troupe.

Ting tong, Arum exhaled violently at the sound of the doorbell that was definitely being squeezed by her mother-in-law. Arum hurriedly ran to open the door. And sure enough, Bu Kanti was staring intently at him. While the socialite mothers who stand behind the in-laws are looking at the appearance of Arum from head to toe.

"From where you are, open the door just a long time," ketus Bu Kanti without caring while there are many people who see.

Arum took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to neutralize his emotions from exploding.

"Sorry, Mom. Arum had just finished making a snack for the mother's funeral and Arum was about to take a bath," Arum replied as gently as possible even though his heart was hurting.

"Yes, take a shower." Arum nodded and immediately headed to the room to clean himself up.

"Oh my goodness, Jeng. That's your son-in-law's performance is like that maid anyway, where's the stench again." Arum no longer cared about the scorn that sounded in his ears.

The woman chose to go into the bathroom and cried silently there to vent her grief. Fifteen minutes later Arum came out of the bathroom and was about to change clothes.

"Aruuumm!"
